Sparring

Bang!! A piercing explosion rang out in the empty field, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

Raising their gaze, they saw two enormous Titan locked in a stalemate, their fists clashing. One Titan was slender, his entire body covered in artistic bone armor. Beneath his wild Black Hair, a cold, stern bone armor concealed his ferocious face. The Fate Titan's scarlet eyes appeared exceptionally eerie against the white bone armor.

The other Titan was equally imposing, with a robust and powerful body. Every bulging muscle contained explosive power. His mouth stretched all the way to his elfin-like pointed ears, and wisps of steam escaped from his Attack Titan mouth. His green eyes, also covered by Black Hair, were filled with an indomitable will.

The punch that the Fate Titan and the Attack Titan clashed with was the source of the explosion on the field just now. As for the tooth-sore cracking sound, look at the Hardening crystals covering the Attack Titan's arm; fine cracks are beginning to appear. In contrast, the Fate Titan's arm, covered in white Hardening bone armor, remains as smooth as ever.

"Roar!!" The Titan roared, Attack Titan jaws, then deliberately deflected the force and retreated, dodging the punch that the Fate Titan was about to deliver. In the end, the Fate Titan's strength was superior, but Eren had no intention of admitting defeat.

With a crackling sound, layers of Hardening covered the cracked areas again, creating an even thicker and harder layer of Hardening. Then, it swung its fist at the Fate Titan.

Not far from the battle between the two Titan, a large crowd of Soldiers had gathered to watch the spectacle. Connie, always eager for excitement, even secretly set up a betting pool at Sasha's urging. "The fifth battle between Yago and Eren! Place your bets! Those betting on Eren could win big! By the way, Yago promises not to use any additional Titan Power in this battle!"

Many Soldiers who had come to watch the spectacle were drawn over. The sparring between Yago and Eren was no secret to the Soldiers of Paradis Island. Many Soldiers had come to watch the battle between the Fate Titan and the Attack Titan. Unfortunately, the first four battles were without any suspense, with the Fate Titan winning by a crushing defeat.

So logically, Connie and his friends' small bet wouldn't attract anyone, since everyone already knew the outcome, and who would be foolish enough to bet on Eren? However, if what Connie said is true this time, Yago's Fate Titan doesn't use the Titan Power, then it's actually quite possible! After all, everyone has witnessed Eren 'Section Commander strength!

So, many Soldiers who had gotten their hands on the Meal Tickets pulled out their slaps on the table and shouted, "Two days! Six Meal Tickets! We're betting everything on Section Commander Eren!"

"I'm betting Section Commander Eren's three Meal Tickets too!"

I bet five meals!

"Damn it! I've tied up my entire month's food money! I can't live like this anymore!"

A group of Soldiers generously donated money. Of course, the Meal Tickets here did not refer to real money. Not having Meal Tickets did not mean that they would go hungry. In fact, Meal Tickets were a new system in the New Army. Because the New Army's food focused on nutrition and convenience, the taste was not very good, so Meal Tickets were created.

Soldiers could use their monthly Meal Tickets to improve their meals in the mess hall, and they could also exchange Meal Tickets for daily necessities and other supplies. Therefore, Meal Tickets were essentially like prize vouchers circulating within the army.

Now, perhaps because the previous battles were too straightforward, most Soldiers bet on Commander Yago. However, this time, many Soldiers, still somewhat impulsive, have also staked their precious Meal Tickets on Section Commander Eren, whom they believe in. If they lose, some of them might really have to cry and eat nothing but malnutrition for a month.

Yes, Eren has been promoted to Section Commander, the Section Commander of the Survey Corps' Third Squad. There's no doubt about that. This is entirely due to Eren's own strength and dedication. In the battle to eliminate the Titan, Eren's contributions were among the best.

Speaking of which, I'd also like to mention the other members of 104th Cadet Corps, who also achieved great things. Sasha, with her almost freakish marksmanship, successfully became the sniper Instructors for the New Army on Paradis Island. Yes, she's the kind of Instructors who can punish people by making them run fifty laps without food.

Connie and Jean also became Section Commander in the New Army thanks to their strength and achievements. Armin's outstanding wisdom was also appreciated and valued by the military high command. Now Armin has become a trainee staff officer in the New Army. If he were not too young, perhaps the staff officer of the New Army would voluntarily give up his position to serve as Armin's deputy.

Ymir had only been a minor character for several hundred chapters, reluctantly joined the New Army and became a Squad Leader. Not only them, but also Marlo, Hitch, and many more outstanding Soldiers from other legions joined the Paradis Island New Army and served as key members.

As one of the absolute strongest fighters of the 104th Cadet Corps, Mikasa naturally could not leave Eren. Even when the New Army recruited her as a Mikasa Division Commander, Mikasa remained unmoved and stayed by Eren 'Eren side as his second-in-command.

"Without using any other abilities, relying solely on the power of the Titan themselves, it seems like Eren isn't without hope, right, Levi?" Mike asked the sullen-faced Captain Levi beside him as he watched the two Titan fight.

Levi glanced at the two Titan on the field, offering no further comment. Though reluctant to admit it, Levi had to say that without the Titan Artifact Thunder Spear, these two Titan would have been somewhat troublesome for him, since the Blades couldn't penetrate the Titan's Hardening crystals.

Of course, for the strongest Soldiers on Earth, Levi only admitted that the biggest trouble he felt was merely troublesome. Given enough time, he was still confident that he could take down Yago or Eren.

"Yago won't lose," Annie said lazily, stretching.

Behind Annie, Pieck and Porco, now dressed in military overcoats without the Paradis Island insignia, were also watching the battle between the two Titan.

Seeing Annie's confidence, Pieck joked, "Annie, how can you be so sure? Yago admitted that he's so strong because of the power of other Titan Power. Now that he's not relying on those Titan's power, Eren might not lose."

Hearing Pieck's words, Annie turned around, shrugged, and gave him a cute eye roll. Hitch immediately leaned on Annie's shoulder, her eyes shining, and exclaimed in surprise, "Annie! You've suddenly become so beautiful! Your whole aura is different, like you've suddenly become mature and beautiful! How did you do that? Teach me, we're best friends! Please~"

Annie: "..." (question mark face)

But when Hitch mentioned maturity, could it be...? Annie's face suddenly flushed red, as if she had just thought of something.

Hitch: "?? Annie, hurry up and tell me~ Why are you blushing?"
