"Everyone, stop!"

"Yes!"

After advancing several kilometers away, I give the order to stop. We had entered even closer to the 3rd wall… to which they gave the name of Maria. Obviously, since I wanted to be away from the eyes of others, we couldn't go the other way towards the second wall called Rose.

"Then... I'll leave the job of watching and eliminating the titans that come here to you, Horo. "

“ Haaa~ Fine… but that will cost you two boxes of those things called glazed doughnuts! It's a lot of work, you know? ”

“ Fufufu …it seems like you will have to pay more this time, Alex-san”

"U-n... Horo is greedy."

"…It does not matter"

…until Shigure finally gets off her, after having filled with caressing Horo's fur since only now she could take the opportunity to do so, I see the great she-wolf leave to do the job I asked of her.

Well, she didn't lie about that she now had more work… the closer we got to Wall Maria, the number of giants increased greatly! The citadel was located at a distance halfway between both walls, and groups of a few dozen titans could usually be found there.

But, as I said, once I had ventured further out to explore, I had to retreat as it became increasingly difficult to advance! I think that near the Maria wall there were groups with hundreds of giants! Even the possibility of hordes of thousands is not impossible!!

…I had initially considered plugging secretly the hole that the colossal titan created to take this entire area for myself, but… I had no choice but to give up on this. 

Well, maybe it's not impossible to do… I just needed to try a little harder and take some risks. But that would only be if what we had to face were just titans without intelligence! 

It was more than obvious, and I also knew thanks to some memories, that the previous attack on the 3rd wall was not so simple… there was someone with intelligence behind all that! 

That was the main reason why I ultimately refrained from trying to plug that hole… I didn't want to draw attention to that side for now. It was better than I first create my own strength in this world so that I can move and do what I want without a problem.

Putting that aside, for now, I had no problem giving Horo two boxes of donuts for her hard work…in fact, I must say it was very cheap! After all, for just a few treats, I'll get several crystals after Horo collects the ones she can consume and gives me the ones she no longer needs!!

This made me feel a bit like I was cheating on a child… but it's not my fault that she values things for how delicious or sweet they can be! 

They say that one man's trash can be another man's treasure... and it seems that this is actually true! Also, I don't know if Shigure is joking just like Saeko …or she has a very similar mindset!

“ Okay, are you ready for this? ”

“Y-Yes!”

In any case, since in this place the possibility of drawing the attention of a horde of giants was very plausible, it was better to do the things I wanted quickly. Removing my eyes from Horo, I direct them to the 10 people who had come with us.

At my question, you could see a certain nervousness in the look of all of them... or more precisely, at the syringe that had appeared in my hand! Yes, the reason for this trip was none other than to test these serums that I had obtained from the system! It was the best time to see how this worked!!

Of course, I had told all the important things to these people about it… what this serum would do, and its advantages and disadvantages. And since they were here, after giving them a little time to consider it, they had decided to use it.

…although it seems that it was impossible not to have some fear or reluctance still. 

I don't blame them for this, this would transform them into what had been their worst enemy until now. Perhaps the only thing that could mitigate that uncomfortable feeling was the hope of gaining the strength to be able to fight against the titans as equals.

As for the troublesome thing for me was explaining where I got these from… although they didn't mention it, I could see that some were looking at me with some mistrust. This was also understandable, unfortunately, I could only say that I got them somehow.

Well, while this was all the truth, not that it helped much. For this reason, I had no choice but to keep all this a secret... so only very few people knew about this serum.

“Then let's begin. You, take a step forward”

"...i-it's fine"

The longer I delay this, they'll probably only get more nervous, so I pick the first man to the right of the line in front of me. And wasting no time, after discovering his shoulder, I inject him with the serum.

The man trembles and closes his eyes tightly, but perhaps because of the same nervousness he had, it seems that he doesn't even notice the puncture or the liquid entering his body...  well, I wouldn't be very willing to see this either! The color of this serum was an almost phosphorescent green!! This alone was quite frightening!!

…i-it almost looked like a radioactive thing! And what scares me the most is that this possibility was very plausible maybe! How else could a human transform into such a large being? And most importantly, was this thing really... safe? 

No, maybe what I should be asking myself is if it was safe for me to be so close to this liquid too! Perhaps I should get a Geiger counter…I keep thinking since I got a new life I've been exposed to higher than normal amounts of radioactive…fuck I hope I'm not sterile already! Although I don't want to have children very soon, that doesn't mean that in the future I don't want them!!

Also… an even more terrifying issue… I don't remember if radiation poisoning also causes erectile dysfunction! If so, the next time I go to the [HOTD] world, I'll wear a special outfit for that!!

"E- Ermm .. I don't feel anything..."

“E-Eh? 

D-Don't tell me… your partner really died?! Hiiii!!”

“H-Huh?! D-Does this cause that too?!! ”

“A-Alex-san?”

"Are you OK…"

Because my thoughts had perhaps wandered a bit, when I heard the words of the man I had injected the serum into, I quickly backed away from him and threw the empty syringe in my hands as far away from me as I could!

T-This was all more of a reflex... and thanks to my actions the situation became a bit awkward now! The man who at first was a little afraid to be injected with the serum now had a pale face...

“ Kohon~ N-No… I think there shouldn't be a problem in that regard…”

"...A-Are you sure?"

“ H-Hmm … probably... N-No, I mean, I'm sure! ”

Seeing that the poor man was about to cry, I have no choice but to speak with confidence... although the truth is that I didn't know if this was so! And asking him to check it out for himself now would be quite inconvenient… well, if there was such a demerit in using the serum, I think the analysis of it would have mentioned it… it was quite an important thing after all, wasn't it?

"Don't you feel anything strange?"

"…no, I feel just like before”

It was better to change the subject, so I redirected the conversation to the things of importance. While it was so much better than he wasn't writhing in pain and foaming at his mouth right now, I also didn't expect this person to feel anything...

Well, this way I think that at least there won't be any problem for others to inject the serum too... if they had seen him dying now, I'm sure not many would continue to be willing to be injected!

“Then... we can only do that to test the efficacy of the serum.”

"O-Okay!"

After keeping an eye on him for a while and not seeing any noticeable change in his condition, we move on to the last test. 

...If you're wondering, this man couldn't resist the urge to check if his important part as a man was still reacting normally... I knew that before when he asked for a little space to go to the bathroom, the reason was none other than to check this! You could clearly see it by his relieved and joyous look once he came back here!!

…well, good for him.

Although there was no description about this in the analysis of the serum, from what I remember from the anime, for someone to become a titan they had to experience a certain amount of pain. So I hand the man a knife after I finished explaining what he had to do now...

[Buuum!!]

“ Woooow!!!”

““…””

In the next second that this person cuts his palm with the knife, several electric arcs emanate from him! Furthermore, he is covered by a large amount of white smoke that also seems to be coming from his body!!

We could only back down a bit from such things as most of us covered our faces with the hands out of inertia… and when a roar is heard in the place, now in front of us was a titan!!

"Stoop!!"

On the other hand, it seems like I can't complain about how the people of that city train their soldiers… maybe you could still see the nervousness and fear on their faces, but the moment they see the titan standing right in front of us, everyone had drawn their swords as they carefully watched this one! 

…Even the girls next to me and Horo who was watching from a distance had gone on guard and were looking at me as if they were waiting for the signal to move and attack, so I have no choice but to speak to stop everyone.

It seems that even though I had explained things before, all this was still impressive enough to make them forget that… well, I think everyone here has already seen a large number of titans, but seeing a person transform into one is a totally new experience!

Yes, if you looked closely, you could tell that the titan of now had quite a resemblance to the person who had been injected with the serum... perhaps the only problem was that you had to compare a human with something 15m in height.

"…do you understand me?"

“…”

The fact that the person transformed into a titan did not jump on us already said a lot, but I still had to check it. So after listening to me, he nods his head. This makes the others calm down a bit…although it's only a little, it was still quite intimidating to have something that size so close!

Next, we just ran tests for him to check the state of his titan body... and I have to say things went much better than I thought. After Horo let pass one of the wild titans arrive here for “our” titan to fight him, the result was a landslide victory!

While it seemed that both had similar strengths, the most important difference was that "our" titan, despite apparently not being able to speak, his rationality remained almost the same as in his human form.

After this person got used to his titan body, in fact, he was able to make much better use of all his size advantages. On the other hand, the other titan continued to attack without this one seeming to think much... this was what marked the big difference between the two.

"Then, let's start with all of you"

"Yes!!"

Seeing such a result, great optimism and hope could now be seen in the other 9 people who had been chosen. Without a doubt, everyone saw that with this serum they could fight in a better way against the titans that until now they could only fear!

…soon, 10 titans could be seen in this place that acted very different from the others that we have seen so far!
