You’re practically a hero!” Hanji laughs, snapping me out of my thoughts. But my station was based in Mitras, and since I rarely left the capital for work, I didn’t think the Bloodhound would be as popular out here in Wall Rose. Everyone in Wall Sina-soldier and civilian alike-knew of me. I was in command of a small force of detectives within the Military Police, and had my own personal squad consisting of the best and brightest among them. I was the founder and Captain of the Criminal Investigations Unit for nine years. “I wasn’t aware my reputation preceded me beyond Wall Sina,” I admit. “Sounds like you’ve got quite a few fans in the Training Corps!” Hanji flashes me a teasing grin from over her shoulder. “Didn’t you hear? She transferred!” And just like that, questions and comments about me volley back and forth. “Wylder? Wait! Isn’t she the Bloodhound?! What’s she doing with the Survey Corps?” Another voice chimes in. I cast a sideways glance at where it came from, spotting a young bright-faced cadet in the crowd. I feel a twinge of surprise at the sound of my name. “Woah, no way! Is that Misty Wylder?!” A new voice hollers. Not that it’s any of my business, but from a public relations standpoint you might want to lighten up.” Hanji doesn’t even try to hide her amusement at the steely look on Captain’s face. Can they shut up?” Levi grumbles just loud enough for Hanji to hear, but my sensitive hearing catches it too. “Look! It’s Captain Levi! They say he’s like an entire brigade unto himself!” “That’s right, Commander Erwin! You give those ugly bastards a thrashing!” Another cheers. “Heads up! The main unit of the Scout Regiment is back!” A voice up ahead hollers to the other onlookers waiting to catch a glimpse of us. The differences this time are that I’m not in Mitras anymore, this isn’t a perp walk, I’m not the captain here, and the emblems on my uniform are no longer the familiar green horse head-they’re the blazing blue and silver Wings of Freedom. It’s a scene I’ve been familiar with even before joining the Scouts. They stand along the streets, gawking in awe and chatting enthusiastically amongst themselves as we ride through. Massive crowds have come out to see us off. In front of them Commander Erwin leads the way. Hanji, my squad leader, and Captain Levi ride beside each other a few paces ahead of me. I ease my horse Bosscore along the cobblestone streets of Trost, slowly moving towards the outer gate with the rest of my new unit. “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
