Chapter 58: Direct descendant (58)
Time skip.
Akira was tired....very tired, he wanted to rest a bit.
Upon reaching Rangiku village he noticed a titan inside, approaching the titan, he could tell it was a big one.
The titan's leg appeared to be too small for its small body to be able to allow it to walk.
For some weird reason, Akira felt as if this titan was suffering, he could also feel like this titan's chakra was similar to Connie's... eerily similar.
Was this Connie's mother?
Akira approached the obese titan, he passed his hand through the titan's hair, and he made sure to really observe the titan through and through, however, he noticed nothing, this titan also possessed the same weird liquid in its system.
Akira's control wasn't good enough to remove the liquid without killing the titan, so all he could now was just close his eyes.
He was not going to kill the titan, he was just going to make it go to bed, it suffering was far too much for it.
It needed to be able to rest.
Until he found an antidote the titan will stay like this.
Looking at the sun, he could tell it was getting dark, it was about time he went back and reported to Erwin what he saw.
From doing all those checks on the walls he had noticed nothing, there was no crack in the wall, there was no hole, but somehow some titans were they.
It was as if they had materialized out of thin air.
He thought to himself, he was going to meet up with the crew nearby.
"You good there buddy," Akira said to his horse, who gave him a very exhausted Ney...
"If I remember correctly, there should be a castle nearby, we can rest there," Akira said looking at his horse who still looked tired.
Noticing that in its current state, it was not going to make it, he tried to find anything in this village to give the horse, he made sure to pray for the poor souls who lost their lives in this village before taking some hay and feeding the horse some water from the nearby well.
"Can you make it now?" He asked his horse, he received a 'Pfffptpfptpffff' in response, he took that as a yes.
Jumping on the horse, he made sure that he was safe and secure before saying "Ya!"
As the horse galloped away, Akira knew that this was going to be a 3-hour ride, he sighed a bit making sure to keep his byakugan on throughout it all, he was in no mood to get jumped by Titan while he wasn't paying attention.
Time skip
Akira arrived at the castle, using his byakugan he could tell that there were people inside, he was tired, very tired.
Trying his hardest to not fall down, unconscious, he placed his horse where he found the other horse, as he walked inside the castle, without making too much noise, he opened a room to notice nothing really.
As he opened the room, he saw Ymir and Reiner..... his eyes looked drained, and upon seeing him Reiner seemed to be a bit unguard, Akira however yawned.
"What got you so drained, doctor touch a lot" Ymir added as she noticed him.
Akira opened his mouth and said. "Had to search all the wall for holes, 13 hours of nonstop using my eyes...I am drained"
Reiner seemed to relax a bit, Akira was in no state to fight right now, much less use his eyes.
Akira's eyes went toward the box they were holding.
"Oh...Marleyan canned food, how fun"
Both of them seem to freeze upon hearing him say those words.
"Wait...you know what those are" Reiner added to which Akira just yawned.
"Grandma used to tell me about them all the time, well that was before she died," he said sounding tired.
"Now if you excuse me...I have to go take a nap" He said pushing Reiner out of the way as he made his way inside, they wondered how drained he was.
As he entered the room, he noticed everyone was getting ready to sleep.
"Akira!" Krista said happy to see him, he gave her a weak smile before falling face first toward the floor.
She caught him just before his face hit the floor.....
She could tell that he was tired, she let him rest on her lap where he just stayed there, fully tired.
He slowly turned his gaze toward everyone else present, it didnt take a genius to figure out he was tired.
"Have you found out anything about the hole in the wall?" The lady in charge said, Akira looked at the woman before saying "No, there was no hole, there was just titan, though they were weird"
"Elaborate"
"They seem to have a weird liquid in their body, like some sort of spinal fluid, they seemed to be like remote control dummies,"
Akira was too tired to even notice the fact that 2 people in the room seemed to be paying close attention to what he was saying.
"Your eyes, is that a family thing" Connie suddenly asked.
"Yuh, my mom, my dad, and their parent, and their parent's parents had those eyes yeah"
"Which made me remember, Connie does your mom live in Rangiku village?"
The room went quiet as Connie's eyes went wide.
"Yeah," The boy admitted.
"Well, hum how do I say this, there is a certain titan in that village in a broken-down house that has a similar chakra to you"
"What those that have to do with anything?" Connie asked to which Akira replied.
"You see, every chakra is unique to them, however for them to even have their chakra, to begin with, their mother and father had to conceive them, which means your chakra is a mix of them both, long story short, if someone chakra is similar to someone else, they are related, the more similar the more closely related they are"
Connie looked at him, his expression resembling that of someone who did not want to believe what he heard.
"Are you telling me that my mother is a titan!?" He practically shouted.
"I am not sure, there seems to be some sort of liquid in her body that is responsible for this, unlike what I did with Annie, I can't really make her unable to turn into a titan"
Berthold and Reiner's eyes seem to widen just a bit.
"What did you do to Annie?" Berthold suddenly asked.
Akira looked up at the man and said "I cut her connection with her chakra network....she can't turn into a titan anymore,"
Wow, why did he feel like they were viewing him as a threat?
"And you can do all of that because of your eyes..." The lady in charge asked.
"Seeing it is own thing, forcefully trying to shut down some network is another, it's like trying to force a rich man to donate all of his money away, the body fights back, so unless properly trained don't try it"
"Akira, you mentioned something about your parent having those eyes of yours, do you know where they came from" Reiner asked, Akira just shrugged his shoulder, slowly falling asleep.
"No clue, all I remember is the fact that grandma used to brag about being the descendent of the first wielder of those eyes, told me it was something to be proud of, told me due to very careful planning, I was born the purest, which now thinking about must have been a lot of inbreeding," Akira said cringing a bit.
Little did he know, his ass was going to get kidnapped, given away the fact that he was a direct descendant of the first person to have the byakugan alongside him being a pure blood, he practically placed a big fat target on his back.
"I expected someone from a clan of people like that to be more reserved with their secret," Ymir said looking at him, Akira's eyes slowly closed as he said.
"Well, when the whole clan is basically dead, there is no real purpose in keeping secrets, better I tell them so even if I die, I know that at least some of their knowledge passed on and did not die with me"
As those words left his mouth, he fell asleep.
2 hours later...
Akira's eyes were forcefully forced open.
"Everyone, Wake up! Get to the tower immediately!"
