The best opportunity will be the royal competition two days later.
This is the best time for Shabi to make his move, and also his last chance. If he misses this opportunity, he will likely regret it deeply.
He was plotting this scheme in his mind.
……
At this moment, there are more than a dozen pillars simulating a forest on the site.
These pillars and beams were erected for the imperial competition, and they are over ten meters high. While the simulated trees cannot compare to a real forest, they are quite similar. With current technology and conditions, this is the best venue that can be provided.
The atmosphere of the imperial competition was very serious.
The officials all wore fake smiles, and the military high command looked very serious. Besides them were the pre-arranged audience members.
To be honest, the most lively one was...
It was about the expedition and return of the Survey Corps.
Every time the Survey Corps sets out or returns, it attracts residents from all directions, who are filled with joy, as if it were a lively festival celebration.
Back then, there would be thousands of people watching, while the imperial contest only had a little over fifty participants.
These are not comparable.
Surprisingly, one person also participated in the previous competition.
That's Joker.
This was completely beyond Shabi's expectations.
Compared to her jealousy and resentment towards Cardina, Shabi's hatred for Joker was far more profound.

Shabi has always wanted to kill Jokklo, believing that Jokklo is the so-called Son of Titans, an enemy of all mankind, and someone who must be eliminated.
Moreover, Joker was the first to appear.
This was also prepared in advance.
To prevent any interference, the news of Joker's participation was not made public. The instructors at the training school also agreed.
This is a public performance of the 3D Maneuver Gear.
The purpose was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the improved 3D Maneuver Gear to government officials and high-ranking military personnel.
This is a reform.
A meaningful, epoch-making reform.
This demonstration and performance also had another objective: to secure more funding from government officials and high-ranking military officials. Only with sufficient funding could the improvement of the 3D Maneuver Gear continue, and its production proceed smoothly.
Otherwise, everything will be very difficult.
"Juclos, you can definitely do it. Your technique has always been excellent. Just play to your usual standard."
Instructor Herfeld gave a speech of encouragement before the royal competition.
Joker remained calm and unhurried; he was already used to being the center of attention.
Cardina, however, was somewhat nervous.
That's just how he is. He always seems nonchalant, but deep down he cares a lot and wants to do his best.
Although Cardina understood the moment he saw Joker.
He was just a substitute.
Even those on the waiting list were very anxious.
"It's alright, just treat those government officials and high-ranking military officers like carrots and tomatoes."
"carrot????"
"tomato?????"
Only Joker could say something so funny, and Cardina was completely amused by Joker, laughing uncontrollably.
He seemed to relax a bit.
The others were amused by Joker. Perhaps only Joker could say something like that in such a tense situation.
Actually, Joker still really enjoys the feeling of being at a high place.
He was always so different from others, and what Joker liked most was the confidence and composure Lin Yan exuded from his high vantage point.
He still remembered the first time he saw Lin Yan demonstrate the 3D Maneuver Gear. Lin Yan's unrestrained and carefree attitude was what made him a real man.
"Yes, I think they look more like taro."
Cardina said with a smile.
"I think it looks like a sweet potato."
"I think it looks like a wooden stake."
"Like a little piglet."
……
They all relaxed and smiled as they spoke. The atmosphere instantly eased, all thanks to Joker.
"Yes, it's good to be discreet. We will definitely do our best in the simulated battle."
Jokero Ozawa also said.
After the rehearsal, the simulated battle began.
Although simulated battles are not as important as rehearsals, every opportunity to appear is crucial for them. They represent the image of the training school and must do their best to secure the greatest power and benefits for the Survey Corps.
"It's our turn to perform."
"That's what Joker said."
He was the first to go on stage.
But Cardina added, "Juclos, you must..."

"Carefully inspect your bandages; the last lesson was very painful."
It was a very painful experience, especially for Cardina.
Just thinking about what happened back then still made his whole body ache, and Joker carefully inspected every part of the 3D Maneuver Gear. Not only that, but under Joker's supervision, the others also conducted their own inspections.
"Everything has been checked."
"It would be a small matter to lose face if you fell from up there, but it would be much worse to lose your life."
"That's right, I remember someone screaming really hard back then."
"That's right, that's right."
They were all laughing and joking.
Rosa was the one who examined Cardina most carefully and didn't make fun of her. Rosa is a very cautious and serious person.
From now on, it is essential to establish clear rules and regulations for the inspection and maintenance of 3D Mobility Systems.
These are details, but they are also very important.
"It's checked."
"Mine is ready too."
"no problem."
Everyone had finished their checks, and Joker glanced at the distant pillars. He launched the grappling hook in one fluid motion. The exhilarating feeling of flying through the air was wonderful, especially the impact of soaring into the sky, lifting himself off the ground, and making his vision incredibly expansive.
The whole world has become clear.
It also brings joy to both body and mind.
They really were a bunch of wooden stumps.
At this point, Joker decided that those people were all wooden stumps.
Flying in the vast sky, the onlookers not only appear tiny, but you also don't take them seriously within Joker's inner energy.
They were all unimportant, whether they were government officials or high-ranking military officers; they had all been forgotten by Joker.
Halfway through Joker's performance, the others also set off, the second being Cardina.
They set off in an orderly formation.
The formation was rehearsed and looked quite impressive. The varying heights and orderly arrangement were truly pleasing to the eye.
One round of performances has ended.
Then came the stance of responding to the challenge.
Next, it's about the Titan model. Making judgments in mid-air is no simple task; it requires accurately deducing the path of the spinal cord. At this point, the Titan model is in simple mode, meaning it moves very little, almost nothing.
This makes things much easier for people who have always trained on hard mode.
Joker soared to great heights.
He easily reached the giant's back from above the giant model.
The moment the medulla oblongata is locked, it means that the giant is about to be killed.
"I am coming!"
Determine the target.
It shot out.
Juclos's swooping motion resembled that of an eagle diving from the sky; once an eagle's sharp eyes have locked onto its prey, it will strike with deadly precision. The sharp blade slashed down with fluid grace, cutting into the giant's medulla oblongata.
That was a good cut.
But it can be said that—
Steady, accurate and ruthless.
Cardina, Rosa, and their other teammates closed in, attacking the Titan from all sides. Their seamless teamwork was a sight to behold; their coordination was flawless, and any Titan they targeted was destined for certain death.

The wonderful performance has come to an end.
The audience erupted in applause.
The audience witnessed the power of the 3D Maneuver Gear, a height unattainable by ordinary humans, and saw its destructive force against Titans. After all, no matter how many Titans the Survey Corps had defeated, none had ever been as impactful as seeing it firsthand.
Seeing is believing, hearing is not.
Let them see it for themselves.
Herfeld was very satisfied with the performance, but whether the higher-ups were satisfied remained to be seen, pending the review results.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
After Joker and the others finished and left, the trainees who hadn't been able to participate in the performance all looked on with envy; they longed for such an opportunity.
pity--
Strength does not allow it.
Those who are able to participate in the performance are all elites selected through multiple rounds of screening.
It's not something just anyone can participate in.
Besides the envious and jealous looks, there was one person with angry, resentful, and hateful eyes—that person was Shabi.
"This performance was good; it lived up to my expectations."
As soon as Joker left the stage, a man walked over.
The man was muscular, his broad chest and upright posture exuding power. This man was none other than Carlo Bickel, the captain of the Training Corps.
