It is intelligent, yet gentle.
They are resolute when faced with adversity.
Both gentle and resolute.
This is Armin Arnold's most distinctive characteristic, and Lin Yan chuckled beside him.

"Ah."
"why are you laughing?"
"Alan Yeager questioned."
In his eyes, this was blatant mockery. At this time, Alan Yeager was still so young and impetuous, relying on his passion and harboring a certain hostility towards everyone, assuming that those people were all cowardly bullies.
This is a little hedgehog.
Every thorn is outstretched, ready at any moment to pierce those despicable people who attempt to harm them.
"Do you even have the right to take away my right to laugh?"
"It seems not."
"hehe."
Lin Yan smiled again.
How could Carla Jaeger, such a gentle person, have raised such a prickly boy? Perhaps only a prickly hedgehog like him, or a naturally strong person like Mikasa Ackerman, can survive better in this world.
Armin was mostly taken care of by Eren and Mikasa.
This is such a violent and simple world that the powerful are more likely to survive than the intelligent.
A world where violence is the only form of violence will not be governed by reason.
"How dare you do this while staying at my house..." Ailu muttered under his breath, but Armin didn't hear him clearly.
He didn't want to anger Allen.
Once Allen loses his temper, he will definitely clash with someone again.
These old injuries combined with new ones were not something Armin Arnold wanted to see, especially since Allen was driven by passion, and his fighting ability was actually not very strong.
There's a saying that goes, "There are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people."
There are so many powerful people in this world. If Allen gets into a conflict with these people, it's only a matter of time before he gets into big trouble.
Armin Arnold, who is by Allen's side, should offer more advice.
"Aren't you curious about where I live? I live at your childhood friend's house, and I have to thank Aunt Carla for taking care of me."
"How dare you call her Karla?"
"But that's what my aunt told me."
Lin Yan said nonchalantly.
"really?"
After Alan Yeager said those words, Armin Arnold's continued excitement and happiness made Alan somewhat displeased. Armin Arnold, however, seemed oblivious, looking at Lin Yan with bright eyes.
"That's wonderful! If you stay at Auntie's house, I can see you often. Could you tell me more about the outside world then? I've heard that besides the vast ocean, there are deserts, hills, grasslands, forests... and mysterious volcanoes..."
These were all things Armin Arnold saw in the picture book stories, which held immense magic for someone who had lived in a cage since childhood, especially for such a curious young boy.
This attraction is irresistible.
Even just hearing someone tell you the story is good.
Sooner or later, Armin Arnold firmly believed that he would see the vast, boundless grasslands, the boundless ocean, and so many other beautiful landscapes. Just thinking about it filled his heart with boundless hope for the future.
0281 Sense of Crisis [Please Subscribe]
"May I?"
Armin Arnold asked expectantly.
He and Lin Yan chatted for several hours without realizing it, and in those hours, Armin Arnold had never spoken so much in his life, especially not for so long with a stranger he had only known for a short time. This was unprecedented.
It is clear that Armin Arnold was not a completely taciturn person; it's just that the people he had encountered before failed to evoke his emotions.
In truth, everyone would consider Armin Arnold an extremely introverted person, with a personality almost like a girl's. Lin Yan, having known Armin Arnold for so many years, was well aware of this. Armin Arnold would never proactively approach anyone.
now.
Why is this person a special case?
Not only Armin Arnold thought he was special, but even his mother, Carla Jaeger, thought so.
Although she was always gentle, she wouldn't so easily trust someone like Lin Yan, whose origins were unknown.
Both her mother, Carla Yeager, and Mikasa Ackerman were like this.
In fact, Mikasa is the most difficult person to get close to.
She was a classic beauty, not conventionally sweet-looking, but with striking, flowing black hair that immediately drew attention. From her sharp eyebrows and delicate features to her slightly stubborn gaze, she was exceptionally beautiful.
Ever since Mikasa suffered a tragic family misfortune.
She was taken home by Allen.
He has always protected her.
Besides Allen, the person I've been closest to all along is Armin Arnold.
Besides his parents, there was no one else.
And now, it's as if someone has appeared out of nowhere—Lin Yan. It feels like something of his most precious possession has been touched, a feeling that gives Eren a sense of threat, as do his mother Carla and Mikasa.
This sense of crisis is very uncomfortable.
Allen is the most sensitive.
"Well, of course."
Lin Yan said with a smile.
He actually had a good impression of Armin Arnold, and Lin Yan was unaware of the time when he arrived. The giants would break through the city walls soon, and there were many things that Lin Yan had not yet thought through.
These are issues that Lin Yan must consider.
"Yes, thank you, Yan."
Armin Arnold smiled so gently.
While Eren was sulking, he saw a familiar figure in the distance, a figure he had seen countless times in times of crisis—Mikasa Ackerman.
Mikasa Ackerman was also a little confused by the situation of the three people, and she subconsciously focused her attention on Lin Yan.
"What happened?"
"nothing."
Lin Yan reacted the fastest.
Armin Arnold nodded subconsciously. He didn't want to escalate the conflict further. He wanted to hear about the outside world from Lin Yan. The outside world was a magical world that drove Armin Arnold crazy—an unknown and mysterious world.

"Allen."
Mikasa Ackerman called out to Eren Yeager, who was turning to leave with a cold expression. Although she had always been used to his icy attitude, she felt his anger again this time.
Allen said in an icy tone.
"It's nothing, I'll head back now."
"oh.".
Mikasa Ackerman simply nodded.
After Allen left, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Yan smiled, but Mikasa Ackerman couldn't understand the meaning behind that smile. He approached Mikasa step by step; she was slender, but her thin arms and legs were all muscular.
Full of power.
This is a very talented person.
She's someone Eren and Mikasa can only dream of. After Mikasa joins the Survey Corps, she's the most likely to become the strongest soldier in the Corps, and she might become the second Captain, a rising star surpassing the old.
"you……"
"Do you want to become stronger?"
Lin Yan asked.
Mikasa Ackerman paused slightly but remained silent, while Armin strode over and spoke.
"Yan, you may not know much about this. Mikasa is the strongest kid in our area. Kids who are much bigger or older than us can't beat Mikasa. Many people run away with their tails between their legs when they see Mikasa."
Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious to everyone after those words.
The deeper meaning behind this is self-evident.
Mikasa!
She is very strong.
In Armin's eyes, this unfamiliar boy of unknown origin was inferior to Mikasa Ackerman.
"I'll ask you one more time, do you... want to become stronger?"
Mikasa's eyes were fixed on Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's dark, deep eyes, as dark as the night sky, were also looking at Mikasa, and the two of them locked eyes.
Even though they were quite a distance apart, it seemed impossible for a third person to get in between them; only the two of them remained. It was as if Armin, the person closest to Mikasa, had vanished. Mikasa looked at Lin Yan, just staring at him.
Become stronger.
Of course she wants to become stronger.
This is something Mikasa Ackerman has always wanted to do: become stronger, even stronger. No matter how strong she becomes, Mikasa Ackerman's heart will never be satisfied; the strength she desires is the power to completely protect those she cares about.
Her family.
Her future lover.
She has already lost her loved ones and doesn't want to experience that kind of excruciating pain again.
In this cruel world, only by becoming stronger can one protect them and prevent them from being harmed again. The more one loses in their youth, the more afraid they become of losing, especially the hope of rebirth after experiencing despair, that happiness they want to hold in their hands—they don't want to lose it again.
Mikasa Ackerman nodded.
"Ah."
"I want to become strong, much stronger, but... are you strong?"
Mikasa Ackerman's feelings were more than just questioning; she was looking forward to and wanted to get the answer she was hoping for.
is it him?
Could it be him?
The person who can create an opportunity for Mikasa Ackerman to become even stronger.

Mikasa Ackerman is one of the few strong girls in this world. Her strength comes not only from her physical abilities but also from her inner strength.
To convince a powerful person, the best way is to prove it with facts. Lin Yan doesn't like to waste words; what he wants to do is let Mikasa Ackerman see for himself whether he is truly capable.
Lin Yan smiled faintly and said.
"You'll know if you try it."
"it is good."
Mikasa Ackerman is not one to dawdle; if she wants to confirm her suspicions in the shortest possible time, she has to do it herself.
