The next day, sunlight peeked through the window, gently nudging me awake. Feeling surprisingly refreshed, I decided to seize the day and get an early start. I sprang out of bed, the remnants of sleep clinging to my eyelashes as I reached for my neatly folded uniform. After dressing quickly, I ran a brush through my unruly hair, taming it into a semblance of order.

With determination coursing through my veins, I made my way to the training grounds. The crisp morning air whispered promises of a new beginning as I began my warm-up routine, a few minutes of brisk running to awaken my senses. Each step sent a surge of energy through my limbs, invigorating me for the challenges that lay ahead.

As I circled the track, my eyes caught sight of two individuals standing near the edge, their gazes fixed on me. Intrigued, I arched an eyebrow and gradually slowed my pace before approaching them.

" Have you come to wake up your muscles too ?". I asked with a playful smirk, curious about their presence.

The two strangers appeared slightly taken aback, as if surprised that I had engaged them in conversation. The blond among them nodded, his eyes sparkling with recognition. 

" Yeah ! You're Estella Potter, right ?". He exclaimed.

" The one and only". I replied, giving them a salute in jest. 

It seemed my actions from the previous day had left a lasting impression.

The blond boy chuckled before introducing himself," I'm Reiner, and this is Bertholdt".

" Nice to meet you guys !". I greeted them warmly." Do you want to train together before grabbing breakfast ?".

Bertholdt nodded shyly, his quiet demeanor contrasting with Reiner's boisterous laughter. Eager to embark on this new camaraderie, I set off again, the two of them following suit.

" I can't wait to see what you can do, Potter". Reiner teased, a mischievous glint in his eye.

" You won't be disappointed". I replied confidently, my voice laced with determination. 

And with those words, I propelled myself forward, resuming my run.

Together, we completed ten laps around the track, our synchronized footsteps creating a symphony of determination and teamwork. Sweat dripped from our brows, each breath fueling the fire within us.

With our pulses racing and adrenaline coursing through our veins, we shifted our focus to strength training. Finding a nearby patch of grass, we dropped to the ground and began a series of push-ups.

" Okay ! I've done 60 !". I exclaimed, my voice filled with pride as I triumphantly stood up. 

The sweat glistened on my forehead as I surveyed the area, feeling a surge of accomplishment. Bertholdt and Reiner, stood nearby, but something seemed off.

When I turned to face them, I noticed Bertholdt's face had turned as red as a peony, and Reiner was collapsing on the floor, gasping for breath. 

Concern filled my voice as I hesitantly asked," Uh, are you okay ? Are you still alive ?".

" Y-yeah". Reiner managed to reply between gasps." We'd better go and eat, eh ?". His voice was strained, and his words came out in short bursts.

Who would have thought that two big guys like them would end up in such a state ? I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, though my laughter was laced with genuine concern. 

" Alright, let's go". I replied, extending my hand to Bertholdt to help him up.

" Thanks, Stella". Bertholdt muttered breathlessly, accepting my hand with gratitude.
