Chapter 51: Weird insect (51)
Akira felt just a bit tired, you know, being able to see that far did mean his byakugan was constantly active during battles and so on and expeditions.
He got to rest at night, well on the good side, every day he felt his byakugan improving just by a tiny bit.
His control over his chakra was improving and anything he could, he would refine his techniques.
His railgun technique was improving nicely, its range had now gotten large enough to encompass Akira's casual range with the byakugan...so now he could only hit something as far as 550 meters away from him.
This was just like a heaven-defying gift for Akira, his only downside being the little tiny side effect that his finger gets fuck up after each use but that was fine.
"Cadet Akira Report," Erwin's voice said looking at the boy.
Akira made sure to stand up straight and not show the fact that he was incredibly tired mentally.
"The female titan is Annie Leonheart," He said trying to keep his voice professional but he was tired....drained even.
"You say it Annie as if there is not an ounce of doubt in your mind, why is that?" Erwin suddenly asked.
Akira opened his mouth and said. "Usually my range should be about 550 meters when the byakugan is activated, however, I can focus on one single direction and see up to 3 kilometers away, by doing that, I was able to see the chakra of the female titan and by using Cadet Armin Arlert report about Annie lionheart, I noticed that her chakra is the same as the pilot of the female titan"
Erwin seems to have a very thoughtful expression.
"You are dismissed cadet, take the weekend off and come back here Monday"
Akira showed his respect before leaving the room, he left the man to conduct his plan about how to properly trap the feeling titan.
Akira had a rough guess that he will have to abuse the fuck out of his needle for that one, well who cares.
He will practice just in case but for now, he needed to rest.
Making his way back to his own cabinet that he thankfully did not have to share with anyone...hah the perks of being special.
Erwin was strangely generous, and even gave him his own place to train, with dummies that were made with material that closely reacted like the human skin.
Well, he guessed as to why the man was treating him like this.
After all, he was a great asset, it would be a good idea to nurture him, as long as he performs he gets to keep those privileges which he found to be a decently fair deal.
The only slightly unfair part of the deal was probably the fact that this house was not in the best shape, but Akira with his cleanliness made this place spotty clean.
Something Captain Levi seemed to have appreciated the last time he came to visit.
Akira was tired...and soon enough he passed out on his bed.
He was too tired to even move.
As Akira lay there on his bed going into dreamland, there was something there.
Akira felt like he was under water.....
He could not see anything, it was as if someone had ripped out his eyeballs.
As Akira looked around trying to find where he was, from the corner of the darkness he saw it.
What seemed to be a glowing centipede made its way toward him.
Before Akira could do anything, the creature was on him, before he could even as much as blink, the creature jumped into his eyes.
As soon as that happened, his vision came back to him.
Akira woke up in a cold sweat in his bed, he was slightly gasping for air.
He wonder what kind of weird dream did he just have.
What kind of creature was this...and why did it crawl into his eyes?
Going toward the mirror, Akira could see his reflection, he looked the exact same as he did prior, he was just sweating a lot more now.
Akira wonders what did he to deserve such a fate, to begin with, he did not deserve to have such a dream.
He actually felt like he was drowning, like his life was leaving his body like his lungs were being filled with others.
The feeling of death was like none other and he knew that he felt that feeling.
Looking at his pure white eyes in the mirror, he swore for a second he saw that centipede again...however he calmed himself down.
He was having a daydream, maybe he was just a bit schizophrenic.
Also why in the fuck was he seeing something so creepy.
Calming himself down, Akira decided to check outside his house or temporary house, for now, not even a house but just a cabin.
It seemed like it was pure darkness outside, so he decided to just go back to bed.
Deciding to just lay there until he fell asleep.
He waited...
And waited.
And waited.
3 hours went by.
