I know the final assessment would make everyone so tensed, but what exactly is it about? Why is it so revered, so feared?” Eren asked, out of curiosity. “Oh, man. Are you saying you don't know a thing about the gallows event?” “Not really,” he shrugged. “Where were you when Zachary would sometimes mention things like this while speaking to us?” Sid spoke again, looking at Eren weirdly. For Eren, on those days when Zachary had mentioned them casually, he was thinking about the revenge strategies which Silas and Saul had in mind as he had planted all the bugs at the necessary place. His mind had been far off, but surely he couldn’t divulge that now. “It’s none of your business,” Eren said with a roll of his eyes. Then added, “Well, can I get my answer now?” “This event will be held with both the Warrior Class and the Saints and Terrors. The purpose of the event is to give the Warriors a chance to displace the least accomplished member of the Saints and Terrors during the event.”

“Gaine?” Drake couldn’t believe his eyes.Eren was shocked, too. His body had tensed up, eyes wild with panic as he looked at Alice.“Is this the person helping us? Or is this some trick?

If the situation were reversed, he’d be doing the same.Drake had every reason to be wary of him. Eren too. He had Winchester blood, after all.He raised his hands in a show of surrender and said calmly. “Drake, Eren, I am

“What? What's wrong with her?” Eren asked, expertly masking his worry. Even though Kathlyn was not the nicest person, no one would feel undisturbed after losing a loved one. Drake was his arch enemy and number one rival. That would never change, but Kathlyn dying wouldn't have a great effect on Drake regardless of his annoying behavior and how he and Kathlyn never really got along. “Ugh, she passed out” Alice said rushing towards the girl and pinching her nose. She threw a look at Eren. “She's exhausted, you can see it on her physique.” Alice tsked. Eren looked at Kathlyn's body again, it was gaunt, her neck bone almost patterning her skin. “Her breath is shallow, I don't think she has much MANNA reserve left. Poor girl, she must have feeding off of_” “What the hell was that about earlier then?” Eren cut her off and threw an annoyed look at Alice, which almost got her laughing if not that Kathlyn required much and quick medical first aid. Eren was referring to Alice'
