Then the belief cannot be sustained.

"Allen."

Mikasa was also very worried about Eren seeing him like this, but Lin Yan spoke first, his voice pulling Eren back from his thoughts.

Alan Yeager snapped out of his daze, a slight look of disappointment still lingering in his eyes.

"What's matter?"

"If you're free after dinner, come train with me."

Previously, it was always Allen who pestered Lin Yan to help him with his training. But this time, Lin Yan offered to help him on his own initiative.

The disappointment in Allen's eyes vanished instantly.

"I've already finished eating, let's hurry up and go."

"it is good."

Lin Yan stopped Mikasa with a look. At this moment, Eren Yeager needed to be distracted; otherwise, with his stubborn personality of "never turning back until he hits a wall," he would definitely walk into a dead end. Mikasa was well aware of this, after all, they had grown up together.

Mikasa nodded as well.

They watched as Allen and Lin Yan walked toward the door.

Lin Yan said to Allen, "Do you remember that man? Didn't you see him? The Survey Corps member who met your father when the memories were unlocked in the cave."

Allen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He said, pondering.

“That’s right, that man met with my dad under those circumstances… You’d think that man would know something… Actually, I feel like I’ve seen that man somewhere before, I have a vague impression of him.”

"Eren, what did you say? What do you mean? What exactly happened?" Mikasa asked.

The others also turned their attention to Allen, who then sat back down, pondered for a moment, and spoke.

"That man?"

Let me ask.

It's that man.

Everyone exchanged knowing glances.

This is very important.

After all, that man was the only one who had contact with Dr. Jaeger, who was also Allen's father, under those circumstances.

"But I can't remember it now."

Allen tried hard to recall the feeling, like he was about to grasp something, but couldn't quite hold onto it—that agonizing, unsettling feeling.

"Is it not Jaeger's memory, but the real Eren who has seen it?" Armin always manages to grasp the key point quickly at crucial moments.

This time is no exception.

I think it should be...

Allen was still trying to remember.

Recalling.

Recalling...

He seemed to be remembering when suddenly a figure flashed into his mind, and the faces of two people overlapped.

Alan Yeager's face turned ashen.

“It’s that person… the Training Corps instructor…” Eren excitedly slammed his hand on the table and stood up; he finally remembered.

"Keith Shadis!!!"

Keith Shadis was the 12th commander of the Survey Corps. Before the Titan invasion in 845, he served as the 12th commander of the Survey Corps. He originally planned to build human settlements in the area outside the walls and launch an expedition, but the result was heavy casualties and no substantial results. He felt very guilty about this and therefore resigned. Erwin succeeded him as commander. He had hair when he first appeared, but became bald after becoming an instructor.

This tall, bald man had a beard, a very serious appearance, and a very loud voice.

He was extremely strict with his soldiers, and would punish them with a headbutt.

At the same time, it is possible to grasp the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of each trainee and to accurately evaluate them.

An observer with a global perspective finds his place in the world after being advised by Eren's mother, Carla. Hajime Isayama, through the character's words, gives him extremely high praise: "A hero who saves the world."

In his final moments, he was no longer a bystander.

At this moment, Alan Yeager's memories overlapped, and he finally found the man with the mysterious identity from his memories.

That is—Keith Shadis.

“He was Erwin’s predecessor.” Squad Leader Hange knew all about these things; after all, she was a core member of the Survey Corps.

They set off as quickly as possible to find Keith Shadis.

"The 12th Survey Corps Commander... We haven't seen him in a long time."

Alan Yeager successfully located Keith Shadis.

"Officer Shadis."

Everyone had gathered together, their purpose being to extract useful information from Keith Shadis. However, one person stood out, sweating profusely and looking tense – that was Sasha Braus.

"What's wrong? Blause, aren't you going to sit down?"

"No, I'll just stand here!"

Sasha Bryce had been severely disciplined by Keith Shadis and seemed quite afraid of her former coach, who was known as the "Devil Coach," and it seemed that almost no one was unafraid of him.

"I remember every time you were called to the instructor's room..."

“Every time, nothing good comes of it,” Keith Shadis said calmly.

Keith Shadis glanced at the boys and said with some emotion.

“Only a few months have passed since that day, and everyone seems like a completely different person.” Keith Shadis looked at Lin Yan. “You must be the God of War, right? I’ve heard so many rumors about you… Lin Yan, right?”

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

“Commander Shadis, no, Instructor…” Squad Leader Hange began, “We are tasked with retaking Wall Maria. Now that we’ve arrived, you must already know why we’re here, right?”

Keith Shadis was silent for a second.

Then he looked at Alan Yeager and said.

“Alan, you and your mother are very similar, but the sharpness in your eyes is more like your father, Dr. Jaeger.”

Please tell us everything you know.

Alan Yeager stood up.

He genuinely wanted to know about the past; even the slightest clue would be invaluable.

Keith Shadis showed no shock or surprise; he seemed to have expected it all along, anticipating that this would happen sooner or later.

He was even unusually calm.

"I know nothing, that's the conclusion. But if it's of no use to humanity, I can tell you something if you'd like to hear it. It's what I, as an observer, remember from the past."

Keith Shadis had kept these memories buried deep within his heart, with nowhere to confide in anyone, but at this moment he was going to tell them all.

"Twenty years ago, he stood before the gate of the Hickensha district of the Maria Wall..." At that time, they discovered Alan's father, Grisha Yeager, outside the wall. This man, who carried countless secrets, had just appeared.

They were very surprised that a human had appeared outside the wall, especially an unarmed civilian.

After all, apart from the members of the Survey Corps on expeditions, no one else would ever appear outside the walls. For ordinary people to appear outside the walls meant certain death, and even for the elite soldiers of the Survey Corps, the mortality rate outside the walls was extremely high.

At that time, Grisha Jaeger said something utterly unbelievable.

[Why are you outside the walls? Are you here to fight the Titans?]

"I don't know if it's true or not, but he doesn't remember why he was outside the walls... He lost all his memories... except for the name Grisha Jaeger. At the time, he was judged to have entered the Titans' territory without permission, but since he didn't cause any harm or loss, he was simply released. After that, I spoke with Grisha Jaeger, and I asked him where he planned to go back to... He said that besides his name, he remembered one thing, which was that he was a doctor."

At that time, Grisha Jaeger said to him, "Since I am a doctor, I must have a place to use my skills. Please introduce me to a hospital. Also, could you teach me about this world, about the Survey Corps... about everything about your Survey Corps...?"

"real……".

Grisha Jaeger's tone was very earnest, and his eyes were very serious, showing no sign of lying.

According to Keith Shadis's recollection, Grisha Yeager truly knew nothing.

They had an in-depth exchange.

Inside a bar.

Grisha Yeager said after careful consideration.

"I see. Despite the gap between the rich and the poor, it is very peaceful inside the walls. At least we don't have to live under the threat of giants, which is really great."

"Is that great?"

Keith Shadis couldn't help but utter a sound of doubt.

Do you think so too?

Grisha Jaeger looked slightly puzzled, and Keith Shadis continued.

"Within these narrow walls, you're content with just food and drink... It seems you belong to this category... You never even considered how vast the world truly is."

“Is this why you went outside the walls?” Grisha Jaeger asked. “Is this the Survey Corps?”

"Yeah, pretty stupid, right?" Back then, the Survey Corps wasn't popular with anyone. Many people thought that since it was safe inside the walls, there was no threat as long as they stayed inside, so why risk going outside to be eaten by Titans and wasting taxpayers' money?

At this point, Keith Shadis's question was somewhat self-deprecating.

Grisha Yeager was indeed speaking very seriously.

"How could that be! You are braver and smarter than anyone inside the walls. Your existence proves the freedom of the soul; you are the pride of humanity."

"Pride, is that us?" Keith Shadis found it hard to believe that the unfamiliar and somewhat mysterious man outside the wall, Grisha Yeager, could say such a thing.

"Yes."

Grisha Jaeger spoke with no hint of mockery, but rather with a serious and sincere expression.

At that moment, a very sweet-looking woman walked over; this was Alan Yeager's mother.

She was a hotel waitress.

"What, Mr. Keith, are you recruiting people to the Survey Corps again?"

This joking remark also reveals two pieces of information.

First, Keith Shadis frequently persuaded others to join the Survey Corps; second, the Survey Corps was severely understaffed. This also reflects other information, such as the fact that most people were unwilling to join the Survey Corps because its work was extremely dangerous and accompanied by a high mortality rate.

The young woman, Alan's mother, was named Carla Jaeger. She tapped Keith Shadis on the head with a tray.

Such an action is probably only something that close friends would do.

“No, no… Karla… I just…”

Keith Shadis was visibly nervous while making his defense, after all, he had other thoughts about the young and beautiful Carla in front of him.

Of course, Karla changed her name to Karla Yeager after marrying Grisha Yeager.

"Wait, how could I possibly be a Survey Corps soldier? The members of the Survey Corps are all exceptionally unique individuals..." Grisha Jaeger had a very high opinion of the Survey Corps members.

Karla turned and left, saying, "So that's how it is."

But Grisha Yeager's words stirred up a storm in the depths of Keith Shadis's heart.

Is he someone who is different from others?

This was the first time Keith Shadis had heard anyone say that about him.
