Complete story — includes the ending

The drill instructor Keith Sadies inspects the new recruits of the 104th Cadet Corps. Eren develops a rivalry with Jean Kirschtein, who desires a safe and easy position in the Military Police Regiment within the inner city walls, as they do not have to fight Titans or go on expeditions outside like the Scout Regiment. The recruits train on an omni-directional mobility gear apparatus, where they have to balance themselves while suspended on cables. After Eren has trouble balancing, he asks Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover for help and learns that they, like him, are among the few who have personally encountered Titans. Keith discovers that Eren's apparatus was defective and passes him after a retry with working equipment.
