In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

"So gentle." Mina's eyes were filled with envy.

Kou San gently put Annie down, his movements so gentle that it seemed like a public display of affection. He straightened up, slowly turned around, and confronted Mikasa. Kou San looked at Mikasa and said gently, "Why don't you take a break? You must be tired after fighting for so long."

However, Mikasa simply gave Kozo a cold look, her lips parted as she uttered the cold words, "Not necessary." Before she finished speaking, Mikasa assumed a fighting stance. Her feet planted firmly, knees slightly bent, her hands clenched into fists, raised to her chest, her gaze locked on Kozo.

Reiner and Eren were sparring. They were already being perfunctory, and the tense atmosphere between Kouzo and Mikasa drew their attention even more.

"Stop fighting! The fun is about to begin." Reiner stopped first, looking towards Takashi and Mikasa with curiosity and nervousness. Eren followed suit.

Reiner turned his head and looked at Eren, "Hey, who do you think will win? Although Mikasa defeated Annie, it looks like... she also consumed a lot of energy, right?"

Alan frowned slightly, his gaze darting between Takashi and Mikasa, as if weighing something. "Although Takashi is very strong, and excellent in every way..." He paused briefly, "But I think, if a fight really came to this, Mikasa would definitely win." Alan's tone gradually became more certain. In his memory, Mikasa always won with an overwhelming advantage in fights, and that formidable strength was deeply etched in his mind.

Ymir was sparring with Christa. Ymir was the attacker, while Christa was fighting back. Ymir's eyes drifted towards Takashi and Mikasa, a playful smile playing on her lips as she teased, "Hey, hey, hey, a fight is about to start over there. Christa, aren't you worried at all?"

"No problem." Christa shook her head slightly. She looked firmly in the direction of Xiao San, her eyes full of trust. She said without hesitation: "Xiao San... Brother will win."

Ymir raised an eyebrow and looked at Christa in surprise. "You're so confident, aren't you? Who knows, that guy might get severely punished by Mikasa soon, and then he'll run into Christa's arms and cry."

"No... that won't happen." Christa's cheeks flushed slightly. Although she refuted this, she was also looking forward to it... But unlike Ymir, she had witnessed Kouzo's attack with her own eyes, so she knew very well how powerful he was.

Instructor Keith's sharp gaze swept across the training grounds. He noticed that many people had stopped their training, their eyes fixed on Kouzo and Mikasa. However... Instructor Keith's weathered face didn't betray a single trace of disapproval, and he himself made no move to intervene. He simply stood there quietly, his arms folded, his gaze fixed on Kouzo and Mikasa. He, too, awaited the outcome of this battle.

The battle begins...

Mikasa's eyes suddenly became fierce and she attacked without any warning.

Facing Mikasa's sudden attack, Kozo began to retreat. However, his expression showed no sign of panic, instead revealing a calm demeanor (天道总司の逼格.jpg). He skillfully dodged Mikasa's attacks, each movement appearing effortless.

Mikasa's attacks became more and more fierce...Takashi's actions made her mind suddenly flash back to her brother. The familiar feeling made her heart beat faster and faster.

At that moment, Mikasa's fist rushed towards Xiaosan's face with a sound of breaking wind. Xiaosan was not in a hurry. His arm quickly raised and steadily caught Mikasa's fist. Then, he cleverly turned his body, using the force of Mikasa's forward momentum, pulled with his other hand, and tripped her foot, causing Mikasa to lose her balance and fall to the ground easily.

Mikasa quickly got up from the ground and dusted herself off. "Come again."

Given Mikasa's exceptional physical fitness, shaped by her "Ackerman bloodline," a fall of this magnitude wouldn't have injured her. However, the brief exchange had already revealed a chasm between them that was enough to make one notice the difference between them.

Reiner's eyes were filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, Kozo is very strong! Although Mikasa is also very strong, but..." He shook his head, "They are not on the same level at all."

"How is this possible? So strong..." Eren was still staring at the scene in amazement. His mouth dropped open slightly, his eyes filled with shock. In his memory, Mikasa had always been a powerful and invincible being. He had never seen Mikasa so embarrassed before. This completely overturned his preconceived notions, leaving him momentarily bewildered.

Where Ymir and Christa were, Ymir curled her lips and smacked her lips in disdain, "Tsk, how boring. I thought I would get beaten up after seeing that guy." She crossed her arms, with a hint of unwillingness and disappointment in her eyes, but... in fact, in her heart, she was also secretly sighing at the strength of Xiao San. That was a fact that she had to acknowledge even though she was unwilling to admit it.

At this moment, a girl trotted over and stopped beside Christa. With an anxious look on her face, she leaned close to Christa's ear, half covering her mouth with her hands, and whispered something in a very low voice. "Christa, you..."

In an instant, Christa's eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly. His once rosy lips had lost their color. His voice trembled with disbelief as he whispered, "My father?"

Although the voice was very soft, Ymir was standing nearby, and her sharp ears still picked up the words. Ymir's eyes instantly changed from indifference to confusion and curiosity, staring at Christa.

The girl stretched out her finger and pointed straight in one direction.

Christa's gaze slowly followed the direction of her finger, and then... she froze. It was as if all her strength had been drained from her body, and painful memories of the past surged through her mind like a surging tide.

Ymir's attention was also drawn to the scene. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze following the direction Christa was looking. Not far away, she saw a man. The man was dressed in aristocratic attire, a little plump, with a round face that had the look of a pampered child.

At the same time, Mikasa attacked Kozo again and again, however... Kozo was very powerful, and each of Mikasa's attacks was easily resolved by him, and she had been knocked down by Kozo several times.

This time, Mikasa was thrown to the ground again. Her body made a dull sound when it hit the ground, raising a small cloud of dust. She did not get up immediately, but lay there quietly, her eyes fixed on the sky... The blue sky seemed to have become a huge curtain, reflecting the figure of her brother in her eyes. The original fierceness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a kind of tenderness and nostalgia. "Brother, it is you after all."

"Let's stop here. The class is almost over." Xiaosan's calm and steady voice came.

Then, Instructor Keith's booming voice echoed across the training grounds: "The lesson is over. Everyone, disperse and move freely!" His gaze fell on Kouzo and Christa, and he called out, "Christa Lance, Kouzo Lance, come with me."

After saying that, Keith walked towards the direction of the middle-aged noble man.

Mikasa was still lying on the ground, her eyes staring blankly at the sky, which was blue and vast... In her eyes, the sky was filled with all her memories and longings.

Eren and Armin walked over slowly.

As soon as he walked in, Armin bent down and asked with concern: "Mikasa, are you okay?"

Allen was surprised and curious. He stood aside, looking at Mikasa lying on the ground, and couldn't help but say: "By the way...even you are no match for Kozo?"

As they spoke, Allen and Armin each stretched out a hand, held Mikasa's arm, and carefully helped her up from the ground. Mikasa was finally brought back to reality from her thoughts. She swayed slightly and stood firmly on her feet.

After Mikasa was helped up, there was still some confusion in her eyes, but the first thing she asked was impatient: "Where is Kozo?" Her voice was a little anxious, and her eyes searched around anxiously... Kozo was the only one she cared about at the moment.

"Didn't you hear? Kozo and Christa were called away by the instructor." Alan said with a frown, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why Mikasa was only concerned about Kozo's whereabouts.

Mikasa had a puzzled look on her face after hearing what Eren said.

Armin nodded, resting his chin on his hand as he murmured, "It seems their father has come to see them." He looked in the direction where Kozo and Christa had left, as if thinking about something. "And judging by the looks of it, their father must be a noble... and a very powerful one."

After hearing what Armin said, Allen's eyes were full of confusion. He tilted his head, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Armin folded his arms across his chest and said slowly, "If it weren't for this, the Military Police wouldn't have let them go so easily."

Chapter 84: 083 Training Corps Shura Field (IV): Mikasa next to Eren is being pried away

Instructor Keith brought Christa and Xiao San into the office. As soon as they entered, he said to the man in front of him in a serious voice, "Mr. Rhodes, I have brought the person here."

Rod Reiss belongs to the Reiss family, the real rulers within the wall, and has direct bloodline of Ymir Fritz, the ancestor of the giants.

Rhodes sat there, his face expressionless, and just nodded slightly.

After receiving the response, Keith turned around and left the office without any hesitation... The door was closed with a slight "click", but it seemed like a heavy knock on Christa's heart.

Christa stood there, her body tensing up involuntarily as she faced the seemingly ordinary, slightly overweight middle-aged man. She was so nervous she could almost hear her own heartbeat, its "thump, thump" sound particularly loud in the quiet office.

That's her father...

That was also the man who killed her mother...

She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up... Unconsciously, she slowly inched her way behind Takashi, her slender fingers clutching his sleeve tightly. Only Takashi could bring her a sense of security. (The truth: It was Takashi who contacted Rhodes. He didn't know what had happened between Christa and her father; he only knew that Christa's father was a high-ranking figure and could resolve her current predicament.)

Rhode looked at Christa. "Christa, I still say the same thing. I hope you can inherit the throne. This is for the future of mankind." Then, Rhode's eyes shifted to Xiao San. "You get married and have children, and your mission will be fulfilled."

Rhodes didn't say much, just gave Christa three days to think about it, and then... he put on his hat, got up and left.

The cafeteria was still bustling with activity at night, but it seemed unable to dispel the gloom that lingered in Christa's heart. She sat quietly at the table, head bowed, eyes fixed on the plate before her, her whole being seemingly absent-minded. The surrounding noises of the cafeteria, the clinking of cutlery... all blocked her out.

On the one hand, she wanted to be with Xiao San, which was the happiness she had always dreamed of...

On the one hand, she absolutely did not want to enter such a place. She had seen the filth of the nobility and the cruelty of the power struggle, and she wanted to live a simple and comfortable life with Xiao San...

Xiao San sat beside her and was keenly aware of her abnormality. He leaned over and gently patted Christa's shoulder, his eyes full of tenderness and concern, and whispered to her, "It's okay, everything will be fine."

"Yeah." Christa nodded slightly.

Ani, who was sitting to Takashi's right, put down her cutlery. A hint of confusion flashed in her icy blue eyes. She tilted her head, looked at Takashi and Christa, and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Meanwhile, Eren and Armin were chatting, and their conversation gradually turned to Mikasa.

"I didn't expect that you would lose!" Eren teased Mikasa beside him.

However......

Mikasa acted as if she didn't hear what Eren said. Her gaze passed straight past Eren and Armin and fixed on Kozo who was not far away.

Kozo was sitting with Ani and Christa, talking and laughing. The relaxed and happy atmosphere made Mikasa jealous... Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past. Those memories related to Kozo came like a tide. Anger rose inexplicably in her heart, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Seeing that Mikasa ignored him, Eren felt a little lost.

Ymir saw Christa clinging so closely to Takashi, and her brows furrowed slightly, a wave of discomfort rising in her heart. She walked over with her cutlery in hand. "Christa, you're so heartless..." she whispered, "You're so obsessed with love that you've forgotten me now that you've found a man."

"You...what are you talking about? Ymir." There was a hint of anger in Christa's eyes.

Annie was sitting aside. When she saw Ymir coming over, she just glanced at her lightly with a cold look... Annie and Ymir were not familiar with each other.

To outsiders, Takashi San was surrounded by girls, laughing and chatting. Connie stared at them intently, his eyes filled with envy. He couldn't help but put his fingers to his mouth, biting his nails gently, muttering, "I'm so envious. Even that vicious ugly girl (Ymir) made it there... Hey, Jean, look!"

Jean, who was sitting nearby, shook his head helplessly after hearing Connie's words. He reached out and patted Connie on the head, saying, "I told you not to compete with this kind of monster." Jean leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice and whispering, "Just think about it, as long as we join the Military Police, we'll be so popular, and women will come to us like crazy. So... let's just take care of ourselves."

Connie nodded.

The next day, the practical course on operating the three-dimensional mobile device to hunt giants was about to begin, and everyone was busy putting on the three-dimensional mobile device.

Kozo walked over to Christa and Ani, a gentle smile on his face, and squatted down to help them check the straps on the three-dimensional maneuvering device. His fingers occasionally accidentally touched Christa's body, making her face slightly red, making her heart flutter, wanting Zuo Ai's pleasure.

Then, Xiao San turned to Ani and helped her adjust the device with the same care. His hands moved skillfully over Ani's petite body, adjusting every detail to ensure the device was worn correctly.

Not far away, Mikasa's eyes were fixed on Takashi, a hint of coldness in her dark pupils. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists. "Brother..."

At the instructor's command, everyone maneuvered their 3D maneuvering devices toward the forest. The humming sound of the jets echoed through the forest, and figures darted through the dense trees like nimble birds. Soon, everyone dispersed, exploring in different directions.

Takashi San deftly controlled the three-dimensional maneuvering device, flying quickly through the trees. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, blocking his way. Takashi San hurriedly braked and then hung steadily on a tree. "Mikasa?"

"I have something to say to you." Mikasa stood on the tree trunk, her brows furrowed.

Chapter 85: 084 Training Corps Shura Field (V): Annie's knife is on Mikasa's neck

"Mikasa, what do you want to talk to me about?" Kozo's eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Mikasa.

Mikasa's eyes locked with Takashi's, a complex expression in them. The two stared at each other for a moment, the air around them seemingly frozen. Finally, Mikasa broke the silence. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Why did you leave then?"

"Leave?" After hearing Mikasa's words, Kouzo frowned even more, his face filled with confusion. Many images flashed through his mind, but he couldn't figure out when Mikasa was referring to "that time." "That was when I joined the Survey Corps."

As soon as Xiaosan finished speaking, Mikasa's eyes turned cold. It was like a bottomless ice cellar, cold and stern. The complex emotions in her eyes were replaced by a dangerous aura.

Obviously, Kozo's answer did not satisfy Mikasa, but instead added fuel to her anger.

In an instant, Mikasa's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, she manipulated the 3D mobile device and rushed towards Xiao San like an enraged cheetah. Her movements were so fast that the airflow from the 3D mobile device swept up the leaves.

Kozo's body reacted instinctively. He quickly manipulated the three-dimensional maneuvering device, spun nimbly in the air, and narrowly avoided Mikasa. Then, he landed lightly on a tree and steadied himself. He stared at Mikasa with a vigilant look.

Mikasa hung on the tree, her eyes fixed on Kouzo, and her cold voice rang out: "Why are you hiding from me?"

"Mikasa, don't be so impulsive. We can talk it out if there's anything." Kouzo's voice echoed in the forest, trying to awaken Mikasa's reason.

However, Mikasa seemed not to have heard what Kozo said. She kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing, her eyes becoming increasingly cold.

In a flash, Mikasa took the lead, maneuvering her 3D mobile suit like an arrow from a bow towards Kozo. Seeing the situation was dire, Kozo quickly activated his own 3D mobile suit, weaving through the trees. Mikasa pursued closely, her movements clean and precise, each turn and acceleration imbued with aggression. Kozo didn't slack off, dodging between tree trunks, the jets of air from his 3D mobile suit kicking up fallen leaves and dust.

Elsewhere, Ani spotted Christa. Using her 3D mobile device, she nimbly leaped to Christa's side. Ani softly asked, "Christa, what happened yesterday?"

A conflicted look crossed Christa's face. She bit her lower lip, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes. After a long moment, she finally seemed to make up her mind and told Ani everything her father had discussed with her and Xiaosan the previous day.

As Ani listened to Christa's story, her eyes widened, her expression gradually replaced by shock. Her heart felt like it had been struck hard, and she was startled. A sense of unease began to spread within her. Her lips trembled slightly, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the silence of the forest was suddenly shattered by two sharp sounds. Two figures flashed before their eyes like lightning, their draughts rustling the surrounding leaves.

Annie's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and she stared at the two figures going away... In that fleeting moment, she recognized that one of the figures was Mikasa, and the other figure was actually Kozo.

"That's..." Christa widened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

Before Christa could react, Ani unhesitatingly activated her 3D maneuvering device. With a powerful blast of air, she charged in the direction the two figures had vanished. Her nimble figure traced a graceful arc through the air, quickly disappearing into the dense forest, leaving Christa standing there in a daze.

During their high-speed chase, Kozo and Mikasa spotted the giant wooden targets they'd been "required to hunt" as part of their "course." Kozo's eyes flashed, and as he passed one, he dove sideways like a flash of lightning, striking the target's neck with precision and swiftness. Mikasa, without hesitation, swung her blade at the target's neck with a fluid and powerful movement. With two crisp snaps, the target's neck was slashed by both of them.

After chopping down several targets and completing the course, Kozo adjusted the direction of his 3D maneuvering device, increased his speed, and flew out of the forest first. Mikasa followed closely behind with a determined look.

Soon, Takashi's feet landed firmly on the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust. Mikasa landed lightly beside him shortly after.

Keith stood not far away, his gaze fixed on Kozo, who had emerged first, with a scrutinizing look. He held a clipboard in his hand, carefully observing Kozo's demeanor and movements while quickly writing down his assessment of him. "He's already excellent... With his experience in the Survey Corps, he doesn't need any instruction."

Then, his gaze shifted to Mikasa, his eyes still carrying that calm analysis, and he continued to write down his evaluation of Mikasa on the clipboard, "Mikasa Ackerman, although she is also very good, is she still slightly inferior to Kozo..."

Kozo put the knife back into the sheath neatly, and at this moment, Mikasa rushed to Kozo with a surging momentum like a hurricane. Her speed was so fast that Kozo didn't even have time to react before Mikasa suddenly pressed him to the ground.

Mikasa's eyes were burning with anger. She reached out and grabbed Takashi's collar tightly. Her face flushed slightly with anger, and her breathing became rapid. She glared down at Takashi.

Not far away, Keith was intently writing down his assessment of Takashige and Mikasa. His gaze stumbled upon Mikasa straddling Takashige's physique, and his pen paused, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. But… he quickly recovered, as if he'd seen this sort of situation before. He simply shook his head, then lowered his gaze and added the comment, "He's incredibly popular with women, but be careful; he could easily become the lover of a noblewoman."

Mikasa had just opened her lips to question Kozo when she felt a chill on her neck. A flash of icy light flashed, and a sharp blade was firmly planted on her neck.

"Get away from this guy." Annie's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth in it, as cold and ruthless as the knife on Mikasa's neck.

Lying on the ground, Xiao San's attention was immediately drawn to Annie's terrifying expression. Annie's face seemed to be covered with frost, and her eyes were filled with strong murderous intent.

Chapter 86: 085 Training Corps Shura Field (VI): Mikasa steals the house in front of Ani

"Ani, stay out of my business." Mikasa's voice was cold. Although Ani's sharp blade was on her neck, she showed no sign of retreating.

"Minding my business?" Those words instantly fueled Ani's rage, and her hand trembled slightly around the knife. She was Takashi's lover... and they had already engaged in hundreds, if not thousands, of sexual acts. She knew every ounce of Takashi's scent, whether salty or bland.

A thin bloodstain had appeared on Mikasa's fair neck. Bright red blood slowly seeped out from the bloodstain, slowly sliding down her neck and dripping onto Takashi's face.

"Ani, wait a minute, don't be impulsive," Takashi called out hurriedly, his voice tinged with anxiety and worry. Without hesitation, he reached out his hand, aiming for the blade at Mikasa's neck. His action was unwavering, like an instinctive reaction.

The moment his hand grasped the blade, the sharp edge instantly sliced through his palm, and blood gushed out. Drop by drop, it dripped from his hand onto the ground, creating a small cloud of dust... The crimson blood gradually spread across the ground, creating a glaring crimson.

Mikasa watched as Takashi reached out for the blade without hesitation for her, a complex emotion in her eyes, and she became even more certain of the man in front of her. Only a brother could care about her so much.

However, when Annie saw what Kozo was doing, her rage only intensified, and the murderous intent in her eyes almost became tangible. In her opinion, Kozo's action was undoubtedly to protect Mikasa, which made her even more angry.

"What are you doing?! Did I ever teach you to raise your sword against your companions?" Instructor Keith's voice suddenly boomed like thunder. He strode towards them, his stern voice echoing in the air.
