Student Teacher

We sat there for a little longer than usual before students started making their way in class. I was a little curious to see who would be talking about their power, but it was hard to focus on much of anything. I could barely keep my eyes open. The exhaustion of not sleeping last night was starting to catch up to me.

"Eren are you feeling okay?" Hanji asked. She snuck up on me and was standing right next to me. I guess I really couldn't focus on anything. I didn't even see her move from the desk let alone walk up to me.

"I'm okay, just a little tired, nothing I can't handle," I said giving her a smile. He just gave me a pat on the back.

"Alright, let me know if I need to open my office for you if you need a break," she said before heading back up to the front of the class.

"You should take her up on her offer," Levi whispered giving my hand a squeeze. "You're exhausted," he let out a yawn, "and it's making me exhausted."

"Sorry, but I really want to see which of our classmates are going up in front of the class," I said and Levi nodded

"Okay, but during the second half of the class please promise me you'll get some shuteye. I'll wake you up at the end of class," he offered.

"Okay, I promise," I said and he nodded.

"Good."

"Alright class," Erwin said after he finished taking roll, "so the teachers had a meeting and we talked about how to get you more involved with the lessons. So we've planned to go over your powers. We asked one of your classmates if they would like to share their power and help teach the lesson and they agreed."

"So, if you would please, come to the front," Hanji said. The room went quiet and after a minute of nothing but a silent room, we finally heard a chair slide back.

Armin stood up and awkwardly made his way to the front of the class. He turned around and kept his eyes to the floor taking a few deep breaths before looking up and greeting the class. "Um, hello, I will be helping teach today's lesson," He muttered nervously.

"Hell yeah!" Sasha yelled from her seat.

"This is going to be so awesome," I heard Connie say."

"You can do this," Mikasa whispered.

I nudged Levi and he smiled and nodded. Levi and I both gave Armin a thumbs up. Jean and Marco looked at us and also gave a thumbs up. I watched Armin go from awkward to a little more confident. He wasn't as hunched over and he gave us a smile back.

"Alright, so Armin will be giving us demonstrations of what his powers can do as well as talk us through it. Erwin and I will be explaining other strains of this power as well as more of the background information about it." Hanji explained and took a seat behind Armin giving him the floor to speak.

"Well um, my powers are invisibility and intangibility," he said before mumbling, "as you may have witnessed on a few occasions," he awkwardly cleared his throat. "These powers are linked to my emotions, which um, you might have also noticed," he said rubbing the back of his neck." He went quiet and looked down at the floor. I could tell he was starting to lose his nerve. He was slightly going transparent until someone shouted.

"Your powers are cool," Sasha blurted out and I watched Armin perk up a little.

I decided to give it a shot, "emotion linked powers are awesome," I yelled out and I saw him smile at me and give me a nod since he knew my powers were also linked with my emotions.

"Um, yeah," he said starting to get his confidence back. He took a deep breath before continuing. "Not everyone who has the same, or similar powers as me are controlled by emotion. Actually, I think I'm the only one with intangibility that is emotion-based." He said with a smile. "Oh, I should also mention that intangibility is the 10th rarest power to have," I could tell Armin felt a lot better about speaking in front of us. He had started to ramble on about his power and how it worked giving us examples as he went along.

Every now and again the class would see him lose confidence even slightly and one of us would shout words of encouragement to let him know we were listening and we were proud of him.

Hanji and Erwin only had to explain a little after Armin finished since he did such a good job of going over everything. The only thing they really had to go over was what jobs people with Armin's powers usually go into. Other than that Armin covered everything.

"So today's a little different personal lesson-wise," Erwin started. I looked to Levi and he seemed to already know. Actually everyone but Mikasa, Armin, and I seemed to know which means this is normally how they do special lessons on joint class days.

"Most of you already know but you newer students listen up," Hanji said. Well, guess I was correct.

"If you noticed this lesson was a lot longer than any other lesson this week. That's because the personal lessons are usually done with the teacher of your choosing. However, if you are really struggling to get the hang of something, then you will have both of us helping you at once," he finished explaining.

"That being said," Hanji said making her way to the whiteboard, "I'm writing both of our names on the board. Write your name under whichever teacher you would like to have your lesson with today. If you are a student who we think needs help from the both of us then I will write your name under both of us," she said and my heart sank.

I knew for sure I was one of those students. It was embarrassing knowing that my name would be on the board for everyone to see. We all walked up and wrote our names down before taking a seat. I watched Hanji walked over before picking up a marker. Here it comes.

"So actually Armin, I'm going to move you under both of us," Hanji said before writing his name. What? I didn't get called well surely I'm next.

"Sasha, I'm also going to move you under both of us."

"Hey, I was going to write my name there for you, but I figured it would be more fun if you did it," she said with a smile.

"Christa, I'm also going to move you under both of us," she said writing her name down. Christa just nodded like she already expected it.

"Eren, I'm also going to move you under both of us." there it is. I knew my name was on the list, but apparently I'm not the only one.

"Mikasa, I'm going to put your name down too," she said before writing it down. Wait a minute Mikasa is amazingly strong. Why is she on this list?

"Makes sense, I did break a chair yesterday in my last lesson," she laughed awkwardly.

"Lastly Levi, I'm going to put you under both of us," she said before writing his name down.

Levi just nodded before mumbling, "that's fair."

Wait what? Levi was good at using his powers why is his name on the list?

"Because I have no control over them," he whispered. "Just because my powers are strong doesn't mean I know how to control them. What you think is "good" is actually total chaos."

"Wait really?"

"Yup. So don't worry about being on this list. It's not a bad thing it just means we need more practice which is good in the long run. The more practice means the more control," he shrugged. "They put me on this list every week and I'm seeing more improvement by getting both of their help at once. They work well together and often will catch something that the other might miss if you were doing solo lessons," he explained. I was starting to feel a little better about being on this list.

"We will be taking the joint lessons first and then we will break off into solo lessons," Hanji said before calling Mikasa out.

"Oh that's good," Levi said, "the sooner you get done, the sooner you can rest," he said giving me a smile. I was nervous about doing the lesson, but at the same time, I wanted it to come so it could just be over. I was so tired it was hard to keep my eyes open. I could feel a headache coming on with how much I was forcing myself to stay awake. I couldn't stop yawning and I knew Levi must be cursing me in his head since every time I yawned he would too.

"Oh, you got that right. I can't wait for you to go the hell to sleep," Levi answered my thoughts back and I had to stop myself from bursting into laughter.

"Sorry babe," I said giving him a peck on the cheek. "I hope they call me next," I said and he nodded.

"They better," he rolled his eyes but gave my hand a squeeze.
