Chapter 28: Magic hand (28)
Time skip.
It was raining heavily outside, it was a relentless torrent that seemed very determined to drench everything in its path.
The 104th cadet squad was currently being forced to run through obstacles and very muddy floors while carrying very heavy bags and heavy equipment.
Each step was a struggle, plus with the added fact that there was some hole dug in random places throughout the course, they were falling one after the other.
Commander Shadis riding his horse and making sure to scream at anyone who was lacking behind didnt help their case
"Move faster! You're a disgrace to humanity! You're nothing but weaklings!"
Ah yes, hearing while running as if your life depended on it truly was a good thing...a blessing one might even say.
The cadets were utterly exhausted, this was like mile 50.....they had been running since the sun went up, in the rain, avoiding traps while carrying very heavy bags.
Some people currently just wanted to give up, their spirit was on the verge of breaking. Their legs ached and their arms burned, their lungs were screaming at them to stop and let them breathe
They were running off sheer will right now.
Sasha's face was pale, and her eyes were either filled with tears or rain, no one could tell since it was raining so heavily.
The weight of her bags pulled her down as she stumbled on a rock and fell face-first into the muddy ground, unable to move at all.
"Get up!" Shades practically screamed, his voice echoing through the rain. "Don't let me catch you slacking off!"
Sasha just couldn't move anymore, her legs were refusing to cooperate. She could feel every inch of her body screaming at her to stop
Her body could not move an inch.
"If you don't get up, everyone will be running an extra 10 miles.." A lot of groans could be heard as Keith announced that.
None of them were willing to run for much longer.
She gasped for air, she couldn't even breathe properly anymore.
Her body just couldn't move properly, as she gasped for air, she felt someone hand over her head.
"Take in a deep breath"
Akira proceeded to quickly hit the pressure point located in her lung, manually activating 100% of her lung recovery speed and efficiency.
Sasha opened her mouth, to in a deep breath, and felt like her body was healing.
She slowly got up and jumped up a bit.
"I...feel...fine.."
"Thank you white eyes...I own you a potatoes" She said hugging him a bit.
Well afterward, she was able to recover, she was currently infront of everyone in the run, and she seemed like she wasn't even tired.
Though Akira knew that it was only temporary, she wasn't like him, she couldn't actively activate this state.
She had about an hour of this state at best.
Time skip.
Aaron sat in the cafeteria as he could hear people groaning about the pain that they were feeling, running for so long had pushed them over the edge.
They couldn't do it.
They felt so much fucking pain, they would be sore for days to come.
The sound of men and women groaning could be heard echoing inside the place.
Krista walked close to Akira who was currently just eating...very...stale...bread.
He never knew bread could be so hard, it felt like he was eating bricks.
"Akira!" She said in a jovial voice.
She wanted him to help let her muscle relax, he took in a deep breath before hitting a few pressure points.
She moved her hands around, she jumped up and down.
Her body was fully healed.
"Thank you, Akira," She said with a smile, he gently boop her nose before saying.
"No problem"
"Whoah, did you see that, all her fatigues vanished"
"Didnt he do something similar to the potato girl"
"Why does he only touch the girls, what if I want to get touched...."
"....Some people deserved to be titan food...."
"Fuck you"
Akira in the meantime ignored them and just paid his attention to Krista.
"Yow magic finger, mind helping me too or is it only a Krista exclusive" Ymir's voice was heard saying behind Krista.
Akira looked at the woman and opened his mouth but he was caught off by her saying something.
"Unless those magical hands of yours are used for other stuff..."
Akira stood quiet...no matter what he said he was cooked.
He took out a deep breath.
"Fine"
"Nice, he agrees to touch us..."
Akira's eyes twitched at that information, why did she have to make it sound so vulgar?
Well, he did touch a lot of people that day...this was probably going to come back to bite him in the ass.
Why did he feel like this wouldn't be the last time he would have to do something like this?
Well, boy or girl, both genders were touched equally, this sounded so wrong, he needed to rethink his life decision after this.
Never in his wildest dream would he have believed he would be touching kids....that sounded so wrong.
A/N If Historia used a Japanese honorific, it's because of Akira, as the Hyuga is Japanese and she has been living with him for like 2 years.
