We all walked back to the gym in silence. When we made it inside everything looked different. I looked around and noticed a larger gun that was different than anything I have ever seen. Wait a minute, no I've seen that exact gun before. I that a paintball gun? I looked at Levi to see if he was seeing what I was seeing. He already had a confused look on his face.

As the rest of the students came into the room Shadis stepped forward this time to greet us. "Welcome back," he started. "So as I told you before lunch this lesson will be harder."

"As some of you might notice this is a paintball gun," Pixis said giving me and Levi a smile since he saw us looking at it.

"So we are going to be doing a few different things. We said we wanted you to be able to protect yourselves, but we also want you to be able to protect others." Shadis said before picking up the paintball gun. And firing it against the wall. "As most of you probably know getting hit by this is painful, but it's not deadly. That being said you are going to be responsible for stopping someone else from getting shot by this."

"I know this all might seem like some kind of game, but we need you to take it seriously." Pixis said, "a lot of you guys showed interest in using your powers to help the police, and part of that is not only watching your back, but also your partners."

"So we have a volunteer who is the one we will be shooting at it is your job to try and stop them from getting shot. The teachers aren't going to step in this time it's all up to you," Shadis said before gesturing for the volunteer to step forward.

Molbit walked up and gave us all a smile. I felt panic rise within me. Of course, they picked the teacher who doesn't have any powers. We really have to stop him from getting hit because he can't. I looked at Levi who looked gave me the same panicked look back at me.

"He has way to much trust in us," I whispered to Levi.

"No, he knows full well he's going to get hit, he just wants us to learn the best we can," Levi whispered back.

Molbit put on safety goggles and gave Shadis a thumbs up. "Before we start, I just want to say that if you can't figure out a way to stop it, then that's okay. That being said I'm ready," he said and Shadis nodded before looking back at us.

"Levi, want to show them how it's done?" he asked and I looked at Levi who gave a nod.

Levi was sure of his powers and would easily be able to stop Molbit from getting hit. However, looking around the room most of our powers aren't fit for this. Mine might be in an experienced person's hands, however, I'm not experienced.

Levi walked up and Shadis gave him a countdown. Molbit was saved the second Shadis pulled the trigger. The pellet stopping in the air before Levi gave them a smirk before flinging it back at Shadis. It splattered against him and he looked at Levi surprised but gave him a nod of approval.

"Well, that's one way to do it," Pixis said trying not to laugh as Shadis tried to wipe the red paint off his white shirt.

"Do I get bonus points for taking out the shooter?" Levi asked with a shit-eating grin.

"Sure," Pixis laughed giving Levi a pat on the shoulder.

"Please don't make this a thing," Shadis mumbled with a sigh as he gave up on salvaging his shirt.

"Too late," Pixis laughed, "we have to lighten the mood somehow. So if you can take out the shooter with his own bullet bonus points to you," Pixis said giving Shadis a devious smile.

Shadis just rolled his eyes and looked to Molbit. "Alright, who do you want to protect you next?"

"Um, let's try," he paused for a minute before looking around at all of us. "Annie," he said with a shrug.

"How far away do I have to be from him?" Annie asked walking up to the front.

"As far or as close as you need to be for your power to work," Pixis said before taking a step back.

She walked up next to him before nodding. Shadis started the countdown and when he pulled the trigger Annie's body crystallized and she stepped in front of Molbit. The paintball hit her and she took a breath before letting her skin turn back to normal. The paint was left on her hand. Pixis threw her a towel and she walked back to the front before mumbling, "no extra points for me."

"Good work," Pixis said.

Molbit looked around and pointed to Berthold. Who nodded and walked up. He looked at Pixis with a smile before looking back to Shadis. "Ready," He said and Shadis started the countdown. Everyone saw the wheels in Berthold's head-turning. He was trying for the bonus points, but how with his power?

When Shadis pulled the trigger Berthold made quick work stretching instantly into what looked like a weird ramp? His body looped and stretched into a tunnel that seemed to move the paintball around and redirected it towards Shadis who just shut his eyes and waited for impact. The paint splattered onto His shirt and he just let out a long sigh before looking to Pixis.

"You started this," he groaned.

"I did, and I'm enjoying it," Pixis said shamelessly. He said before looking back to Berthold.

"Well, you got the bonus points, but I doubt that would work with a real bullet," he said and Berthold smiled.

"I can do something else too," he said and Pixis nodded.

"Well let's see it." He said and Shadis hesitantly took aim before starting a countdown. Berthold took a few steps back as the countdown started and waited to make his move.

He pulled the trigger and Berthold used his stretching powers to wrap his arms around Molbit and pull him out of the way. "Sorry if that was too rough," I heard him say to Molbit who just looked happy not to be shot with the paintball.

"It's okay," Molbit smile.

Pixis nodded, "good job," he said before dismissing Berthold.

"Okay up next," Molbit said looking around. "Armin."

Armin looked like he was shaking with fear. "I can't," Armin whispered so quietly before slowly walking up to the front.

Shadis started the countdown and Armin looked visibly panicked. When Shadis pulled the trigger Armin ended up panicking and just jumping in front of Molbit. He tried to take the paintball pellet for him, but he was so anxious that his power made it phase straight through him.

Molbit winced as the pellet hit him in the stomach. "I'm sorry," Armin blurted out realizing the pellet didn't even touch him. "I tried to stop it I-."

Molbit cut him off putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, nothing to worry about," he said, giving him a smile before dismissing him.

"That's okay," Pixis said as Armin walked back to the rest of us. I gave him a high five as he walked up to me.

"You tried dude," I said and he nodded, "jumping in front of him was brave," I said giving him a smile.

"Thanks man," he said, giving me a smile.

"Up next," Molbit said rubbing where he got shot with the paintball, "Mikasa."

Mikasa walked up and stood straight in front of Molbit and told Shadis she didn't need a countdown. He fired and she took the hit before walking back as Pixis just kinda nodded. "Good job," Pixis said before looking back to Molbit.

"Okay next up," Molbit looked around again before smiling. "Christa."

She nodded and walked up. She looked scared but more confident this time around. "She's going for the bonus points," Levi whispered to me.

"How is she going to do that?" I asked and he just smiled.

"Watch," he said and I shrugged before turning my attention towards her.

Shadis started the countdown and she started talking to him instantly. "You don't want to do this. You don't want to hurt your friend. For even trying you want to hurt yourself. You're going to shoot yourself as punishment."

We all watched as Shadis turned the gun on himself and shot himself before snapping out of her control. He practically knocked the wind out of himself before glaring at Pixis who had started laughing.

"I hate you," we all heard him say.

"I hate me too, for not grabbing a camera," Pixis said wiping tears from his eyes as he cleared his throat trying to stop laughing.

"Extra bonus points for Christa for making the shooter take care of himself," Molbit said trying not to laugh.

"Oh definitely," Pixis agreed before dismissing her.

"Next up Sasha," Molbit called.

"Shadis you better be ready cause I'm going for those bonus points," She said and he shook his head.

"Look what you've done," Shadis groaned at Pixis. He hesitant started the countdown before he hit three two of Sasha's doubles held him down while a third grabbed the paintball gun. Her double pulled the trigger and shot him in the back with a pellet.

"Good lord," Pixis said trying not to laugh. "Good thing we didn't use a real gun," he said and Shadis just glared at him. Sasha let him up and handed the gun back to him before making her doubles vanish.

"Bonus points," Molbit said patting her on the shoulder before calling up the next student. "Jean."

Jean walked up and Shadis started the countdown. The second Shadis was about to pull the trigger Steam filled up the room and Jean made his same escape pulling Molbit to safety.

He appeared next to me and I heard him say, "I wish I could have got the bonus points but I couldn't think of anything," He said as the steam started to clear.

"You could have stolen the paintball while the steam was up," I said and Jean let out a groan.

"Damn, I didn't even think of that," he said and Molbit laughed. That would have been a great thing to see." He said before the steam fully cleared and they made their way back to the front.

"Alright Reiner, you're up," Molbit called him up.

Shadis started the countdown and it was obvious that Reiner didn't have a plan. He was looking around desperate to find something to use to defend them. Shadis pulled the trigger and Reiner was about to jump in front of Molbit but realized he was already too late. Molbit got hit and let out a wince. That looked painful he got hit in the same spot as last time.

"It's alright," Molbit said patting Reiner on the shoulder before calling up the next person, "Marco."

Marco walked up and Shadis started the countdown. He pulled the trigger and the pellet stopped midair. I looked at Levi who shook his head and pointed at Marco.

Marco moved his hand and the pellet flew back in Shadis's direction hitting him. Everyone looked confused except for Jean who actively cheered him on.

Marco just turned to Pixis before explaining, "Well I wanted the bonus points. The pellets have water in them even a little so I was able to control it." He explained, "however, if it were a real bullet I would have just done the same thing as last time." He said and Pixis nodded.

"Alright, good job," Pixis said dismissing him.

"Ymir, you're next," Molbit said calling her up. She walked up and stood directly in front of him.

Shadis started the count down and once again before he could pull the trigger the paintball gun flew out of his hands. She nodded and Pixis dismissed her.

"Okay, only two of you left," Molbit said before looking to me and Connie. Connie was practically bouncing where he was since he seemed so excited to go. "Okay Connie, you come up," he said and Connie practically jumped with joy.

"I don't need a countdown," he said without even walking up to the front.

"Alright," Shadis said pulling the trigger. Next thing we know Shadis got hit with the bullet and Connie looked like he never even moved.

Pixis looked at him and Connie calmly explained, "I grabbed the pellet midair and threw it back at him with enough force to match the paintball gun shooting it," He said and Pixis nodded.

"Alright Eren you're up now," Molbit said with a smile looking at me.

I walked up and decided I was going to try and get the bonus points. If I couldn't that's fine, but I wanted to at least try, however, it's going to require using both sides of my power.

Shadis started the count down and I took a breath. I stared at the barrel of the gun and waited for the second he pulled the trigger I activated my power causing the pellet to float. It was still moving towards us, but a lot slower since I didn't use as much power to try and keep it stationary. It floated to me and I picked it up before throwing it as hard as I could and adding a little weight to it so it would splatter on impact. I hoped I added enough weight since I tried to keep it as low as possible so it didn't hurt Shadis.

The pellet splattered and he seemed unphased and unharmed.

"You did it," Molbit said happily.

"Good job Eren," Pixis said as he dismissed me.

"That was the last student," Molbit said and Shadis smiled.

"Good," he said before turning the paintball gun on PIxis and shooting him three times.

Pixis let out a wince before laughing, "Okay, I deserved that."

"You deserve more than that, but I don't want to waste any more pellets," Shadis whispered.

"You all did wonderfully, and don't worry if you couldn't stop the pellet this time around, as long as you know how to protect yourselves I'm happy, it's a bonus to be able to protect others too," Pixis said before dismissing the whole class.

I looked around before realizing that class was actually over. It seemed to go by so fast. Levi just took my hand and smiled, "let's head back to the dorm," he said and I nodded.

"Yeah, let's go," I said and we walked back to our dorm hand in hand. The tiredness hit me the second we made it inside the dorm. I let out a yawn before heading over to the bed.

"Nap time?" Levi asked and I nodded.

"Nap time." He walked over and laid next to me letting out a wince as he laid down. "Oh, how's your back doing?" I asked.

"Sore now that the adrenaline of the class is wearing off." Levi laughed before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close.

"I was so scared that I was going to lose you," he said before pulling me into a kiss. "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Me too, I thought I was going to shit myself," I laughed before getting more serious. "I was so scared, but I'm glad you tried to protect me."

"Of course, I'll always try and protect you," Levi said placing a kiss on my lips. I just smiled and melted into his arms. "Alright, bedtime for you," he said and I nodded.

"Yup bedtime for me, and for you," I said and we both laid our heads down and fell asleep.
