It was a normal sunny day within Wall Rose. Eren and Frieda roamed around the the Survey Corps. training camp to meet with Hange Zoe. They both saw many soldiers around them working on different Survey Corps. activities and preparing for their next expedition, which was a month away.
"Everyone seems to be really busy and happy." Frieda noted as she walked beside Eren. She noticed less than a dozen smiles on people's faces as she passed people.
"They're preparing for the next expedition, which is a month from now." Eren stated, then saw some familiar faces that he had affiliated with in the past, such as Eld Jinn and Olou Bozado. They walked by Eren, not knowing who he is.
"I'm sure everyone is excited to reach the ocean." Frieda smiled.
"Yeah. This will be the first time the Survey Corps. will not suffer any casualties and make it towards the ocean." Eren stated, as he reminisced reaching the ocean, once.
"How many years did it take you-I mean, the Survey Corps. reach the ocean?" Frieda asked, while looking at Eren.
"I joined the Survey Corps. in the year, Eight Fifty, despite my late mother's wishes. There were losses, but we did manage to find out the secrets within my dad's basement. A year after we chased away the Warrior Unit, we finally made it to the ocean that next spring. And not long did we encounter Marley..." Eren stated.
"Why hello, there!"
"Eh?"
Their conversation was suddenly interrupted. They both looked forward to see an eager Hange Zoe, waving at them.
"It's Squad Leader Hange." Frieda said, before approaching her.
'And here comes the number of experiments that we're about to endure.' Eren remained silent and nearly rolled both his eyes.
"Nice to see you two lovebirds getting along. Now, are you ready to dedicate your all to the Survey Corps.?" Hange asked in a positive manner.
Both Eren and Frieda looked at each other for a second, then solute to her by placing one left hand behind their back and one right hand on their hearts. "Yes!" Both Titan Shifters replied.
"Good. We have a lot of work to do, before our next expedition." Hange said.
One Month Later
During the next month, Eren and Frieda agreed in working and train with the Survey Corps. Due to Eren Yeager's past experience with the Surbey Corps. he would do a number of physical experiments with the Survey Corps. so they can learn and gain early experiments while fighting Titan Shifters. He also invented and taught the Survey Corps. about Thunder Spears, alongside Hange Zoe.
Meanwhile, while Frieda would teach them about the Nine Titan powers, their strengths and weaknesses. She would also teach them about the progenitor, Ymir Fritz and the Great Titan War that took place a century ago. Frieda Reiss never learned to use vertical maneuvering gear, but had showed the higherups of the Survey Corps. that she was capable of controlling Pure Titans at will, making her valuable and too precious to lose.
As for the Warrior Unit, Frieda had convinced Bertoldt Hoover who feared death agreed to work with Paradis-almost instantly. Annie Leonhardt had no trouble agreeing to the Survey Corps. demands, as long as she gets to return to Marley and see her father. Reiner Braun acted rebellious and refused to work with Paradis, as he saw them as islanders of devils. It took a total of two weeks for the officials to get to Reiner, until Frieda Reiss had stepped in and altered some of his memories in order to make Reiner cooperate.
The time was Nine in the morning and the sun had risen in the sky. The Survey Corps were now in Shiganshina District, There were a total of two hundred soldiers all dressed in green cloaks, riding on horseback and ready to leave the walls, as soon as the Shiganshina gates open. There were a few caravans attached to horses riding behind them.
