AUTHOR'S POV:

"Hey, you!" Mr. Shadis shouted.

"Sir!" Armin saluted Keith.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Armin Arlert, from Shiganshina District!"

"I see! That's a ridiculous name! Did your parents give it to you?!"

"My grandfather did, sir!"

"Arlert! Why are you here?!"

Armin closed his eyes and replied loudly. "To help humanity achieve victory!"

"How very admirable of you! We can feed you to the Titans!"

"Third row, about face!" Keith turned Armin's head and moved on.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Sir! Thomas Wagner, from Trost District!"

"You're next! Who the hell are you?!"

"Connie Springer! I'm from Ragako Village on the south side of Wall Rose!"

Connie was saluting with the wrong hand.

"You have it backwards, Connie Springer!" Keith grabbed his head and squeezed.

"It was the first thing you were taught! This salute expresses your resolve to give your heart to the people!"

Keith then headed the noise of chewing. Keith dropped Connie.

"Hey, you. What do you think you're doing?" Keith shouted at Sasha.

Sasha didn't seem to have heard him.

Keith was suddenly in her face, yelling.

"I'm talking to you! Who the hell are you?!"

She chewed quickly, swallowed, and saluted.

"Sasha Braus from Dauper Village, on the south side of Wall Rose!"

"Sasha Braus." Keith towered over her.

"What is that you're holding in your right hand?"

"A steamed potato, sir! I found one in the cookhouse that was ready to eat so I couldn't help myself!"

"You stole it? Why? Why did you decide to eat it now?"

"I felt it would be a waste to let it get cold, so I elected to eat it now."

"No, I don't understand. Why did you eat the potato?" Keith was so genuinely confused.

"Are you asking me why people eat potatoes, sir?"

"Here's half of it for you." Sasha held it out almost reluctantly.

"Half?"

"Whoa, he still has Potato Girl running," Connie observed.

"Man, she's been at it for five solid hours." Marco was impressed.

"She's really something. Still, being told to run until she's on the verge of death didn't seem to bother her quite as much as being told she has to skip dinner." Connie replied.

"Dauper's a small hunting village in the mountains, isn't it?" Connie said to himself.

"What's that?" Eren asked, noticing a carriage.

He had forgotten a lot of things from his past life.

"They're dropouts," Mina answered.

"They asked to work in the fields instead."
