Distress
As intended,
the exercise wasn't supposed to be that difficult.
If we'd left the forest, eventually everyone would come back.
That...
...was our only instruction.
This time,
we, the 104th Training Corps, were split into two groups.
We were to make a round trip to our target location and record our progress within a given time period.
The journey to the destination goes on for about 40km.
Marco was our group leader, while I was in charge of record-keeping.
The team on the other side was led by Thomas, with Mikasa as the record-keeper.
Both teams set out at the same time, and proceeded towards the huge forest.
We were to trade information at the target location and return to the starting point, completing a loop.
The objective of this exercise was to evaluate everyone's
ability to sustain themselves in the absence of a crisis.
That's all. Straightforward and simple.
It could be thought this training is one that even you cowards could easily pass,
but it's not!
In any situation, do not forget your will to fight!
Emergency or not, a soldier is always a soldier!
Don't succumb to peaceful boredom!
Never stop exercising your hands and feet!
This training is also a battle!
Do not forget that!
Yes sir!
So...
We're not allowed to rush?
R-Right.
We'd also be stupid if we did.
We can take our time.
You don't know your lower limit.
Jean, if you're going to take it slow, then I'm going ahead.
Wait, Eren...
But, the formation of the group...
What do we do, Jean?
Like I care!
Extra effort here won't get me into the Military Police.
That's not true...
In any case, let's get on with the exercise.
It's useless.
Hey, hurry up will you?
Don't you have any endurance for this?
It doesn't matter if I'm complaining.
It would be great if time passed faster in that case.
You got that right...
We have a long road ahead of us.
This is so tiresome.
If that's true, then we may not be able to get there before nightfall.
Then, maybe we should head eastward a little?
On the other hand, it may also be too shady.
What is it, Mikasa?
It's nothing.
It's just me...
Geez...
That lizard's joining us on the same route, huh...
It’s rare to see that.
They're delicious, you know.
What?
They really are.
My family and I used to eat them.
They taste like chicken.
You can cook?
Of course I can! Piece of cake!
All right, then!
H-Hey!
If hunting for food is part of the exercise, then what's better than getting that lizard?!
Don't do that!
I’m going ahead.
Gotcha!
What are you doing?!
This isn’t a game!
We don't even have an Instructor!
This training won't get us anywhere!
Stop it!
You're acting like brats!
I don't want to hear that from you !
Jean! Get a hold of yourself!
That’s not important right now!
If we delay, it will have to be reported!
Please, don't record this yet, Armin.
G-Got it.
Write down: “Jean Kirstein tries to find food during the exercise,
but gets interrupted by Eren Yaeger.”
What did you say?!
It's delicious!
Let's go.
O-Okay.
Given it's size, it could've fed all of us...
Are you sure?
There's no doubt about it.
This was where we put it.
Everything that we kept safe here...
Our 3D maneuver gear is gone...
Over here.
They've been gone for quite a while.
It's the same as what we found over there.
How many people are involved?
Also...
Over here too.
Carriage tracks...
And there's a few of them...
There is no information about residents inhabiting this area.
It's probably a gang of thieves.
It seems they found out where the weapons were placed, and stole them during the night.
They gather 3D maneuver equipment and make black market deals.
So we're being targeted?
If they got caught, we would have been helpless to stop them.
You should probably be happy that you're still alive.
Should we stop the training and report this?
No, our target's right ahead of us.
Speed up the exercise, tell Marco and his team about this,
and then get back to the training grounds.
So this is what squad supplies taste like...
It would've been better if we'd caught the lizard.
Enough. I've heard enough about lizards.
Weren't you hunting one just now?
Well, we are supposed to hunt titans, right?
And what do you mean by that?
Why did you even join the training corps?
To live something better than a humble life, at the very least.
What did you say?!
Some things can be tolerated, and others can't!
U-Uhm...
It's fine, Armin! It's just a chat during mealtime.
You think that when a real titan shows up the results of training hard will pay off?
Good jo-
That's enough from you!
Stop it!
How about we actually hunt lizards?
You'll feel better after that!
That's my line you bastard! Shut up!
Let go!
You won't be able to do anything anyway!
Then what you are able to do?!
Hey, guys...
I'm so much better than you!
Shut up! I'll beat the crap out of you!
Hey, you two!
Enough, already!
We probably should hunt for lizards after all!
Don’t move.
Gather their 3D maneuver gear.
Hurry.
What will you do with them?
There are certain people that will pay handsomely for these.
You can't beat the titans anyway,
so what's wrong with taking useless equipment?
Everyone, now!
Eren!
You better think twice before you move.
Don't make a sound.

Wilderness March Exercise
Two teams from the Training Corps will make a round trip around the wildness.
The two teams will meet precisely at the designated location
before moving on to the other route. The cadets will return to the training
grounds once they've reached their target location.The objective of this exercise
is to estimate their ability to sense danger and continue on under supervised conditions.
We won't take your lives. We'll release you at some point.
But if you dare to come after us, we'll kill you.
Understand?
Everyone...
If we attacked as a team, then we could do something !
That's your opinion.
I don't agree.
Actually, because of your crazy behavior, everyone was at danger.
This exercise is over.
It is.
Are we abandoning Krista?
That's not it.
But with just us, we can't do anything.
That's why, we should ask the Instructor...
What if we don't make it?
I won't accept this as it is!
I'm going to save Krista for sure!
I'll go alone!
Eren...
Eren!
Wait!
All our horses were released! How are you going to find her?
It's none of your business!
It is!
I'm going with you!
I'm not going down in this undignified manner.
You guys...
In any case,
how are we gonna find those guys?
We might not make it even if we split up.
In that case,
we'll just climb to a higher place!
When you get lost in the mountains, climb upwards.
If you get lost in the forest, climb a high tree.
That's what my father told me.
Hey!
We're heading out as soon as we've loaded everything.
Hurry!
What do we do?
We'll be too late at this rate.
They have rifles on them.
We're gonna get shot.
I have an idea.
They're probably going to sell the stolen goods.
If that's the case, they'll probably find a wide exit around this area.
We'll ambush them before they get there.
It'll be hard since we have no horses.
It's possible, if there's a wide exit.
If we leave the forest.
Yahoo!
After clearing the forest, the road divides into two routes.
One of the road goes to wider exit, and once they enter there, we don't stand a chance.
So...
They're here!
Here goes!
And if it goes well?
Which carriage are Krista and the 3D gear in? How can we tell?
If we hear a rattling sound, we'll be able to tell.
If the equipment is in the first carriage, I'll pull once.
If it's the rear one, then twice.
If both, I'll pull thrice.
And at that point...
You're late!
Who the hell are you?!
What's going on?!
You!
You do this every time you get defeated!
That brat!
Damn
Next one won't miss!
Stop!
Krista!
You...!
Are you all right?
Yeah, somehow...
Jean! Eren!
We're all right!
And so is the 3D gear.
But Krista is still...
After them!
Sasha. Do you have a signal flare?
Y-Yeah, I do...
Can I borrow it?
This bitch!
I said quit it!
Don't kill her! She's our bounty!
So that's how it is.
Thanks to your friends, we've lost our score!
You'll have to take responsibility!
What?!
Damn!
Stay back!
Throw away your weapons!
Do as I say, and hand over the 3D maneuver gear!
Hurry up!
Shit, you've got to be kidding me...
How did this happen to me?
Even if we run away from the titans...
What can you do out here where nothing can be risked?
Don't burden others.
I should have taught my daughter that much.
Hurry up!
What?!
Mikasa!
Don’t kill him!
I see.
Looks like you went through a lot of trouble.
In the end, the gang of thieves were arrested by the Military Police.
Without taking any casualties, the incident was over.
Although the exercise was suspended,
we still had to submit our records of the incident, in all honesty and without pretense.
May I ask a question?
What is it?
Should we have turned back at the time when our 3D gear was stolen?
Or were we right pursuing those thieves?
There's no need to answer that. But...
Whether you're a soldier or a regular civilian,
we all decide how to respond in the face of distress.
Go back, or go after the criminal...
Which one is most important in your opinion, Arlet?
T-That's...
I couldn't answer it.
Perhaps...
Meeting those thieves during the process...
...was imposed upon us as part of the exercise.
I shouldn't have accepted the group leader position.
Really? It seemed to me that it fit you.
Nah, I'm not suited to be a leader.
Jean's more suited for the job.
Jean?! Leave me out then.
You'll understand someday.
I wonder about that...
I wonder what kind of soldiers everyone will become.
That was in year 848...
...when we fought our first battle, two years ago.
