Description: By inflicting a self-injury, she summons a 14-meter-tall Titan body amidst golden lightning.
The Nine Titans (the second from the right is Annie)
[Active · Partial Hardening]
Description: This is her core skill combining offense and defense. She can transform the surface of her skin into extremely hard transparent crystals, which can not only defend against blades and artillery but also strengthen her hand-blades and kicks into indestructible weapons, easily cutting through solid defenses.
[Passive · High-temperature Steam Emission]
Description: When the body is damaged or Titanization is released, muscle tissue undergoes vaporization, spraying high-temperature and high-pressure steam sufficient to burn the human body.
[Special · Self-Crystallization]
Description: When facing a desperate situation with no escape, she uses Hardening crystals to completely envelop her human body. This is an absolute defense; although she falls into a deep sleep and cannot move, it isolates all physical, chemical, and even temporal interference from the outside World. To this day, almost no one has been able to crack it from the outside.]
Ding—
You know what, you've really got a point.
Although Annie's stats are average and her mechanics are almost non-existent, she can actually do many things that even Makima cannot.
For example, if Annie's infiltration mission fails or she encounters an invincible enemy.
Then Annie can directly activate "Hardening."
This is equivalent to carrying a Stasis with no cooldown time.
Just squatting there.
As long as the little tree doesn't fall, I won't fall.
Turning into a stone that no one can open.
The enemy goes through all the trouble to catch her, only to end up with an Annie life-sized figure.
And it's the type you can only look at from afar through the crystal but can't touch.
Whether it's fire, lightning, or nukes, she'll just sleep inside as she pleases; even time itself is frozen.
This is why in the final season, when Annie released her seal after several years, she found that her former peers had become mature adults while she was still a cute tiny squirt.
When you're the smallest one among your friends be like
This shameless life-saving skill is still very useful.
"Not bad, really not bad."
Sumire closed the panel with satisfaction.
At this moment, the scene shifted.
Makima had finished the handover procedures and was following the instructor, bringing Annie to the mixed Martial Arts training ground of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Combat Academy.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a wave of heat mixed with sweat, rubber, and hormones rushed toward them.
Many new recruits of this term had already gathered here.
Most of them were male, looking like elites selected from the FBI, Navy SEALs, or Rangers.
Although they were called new recruits, their ages were basically twenty and up, or even twenty-five and up, making them the oldest on average among the three main academies.
This was normal; unlike the Science and Technology Academy and the Communications Academy, the Combat Academy truly required facing death.
Each one was tall with rippling muscles, already starting to rub their hands in anticipation for the upcoming freshman test.
When the instructor led Makima and Annie into the room, the originally noisy training ground suddenly quieted down a bit.
A dozen or so gazes were cast over simultaneously.
First, they were stunned by Makima's powerful professional femme fatale aura, but immediately after, when they saw the blonde girl following at the back with her hands in her hoodie pockets, the originally serious atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.
"Who's that? Don't tell me she's our peer..."
"Hey, hey, does S.H.I.E.L.D. accept junior high students now?"
Whispers spread through the crowd.
It wasn't their fault for looking down on her.
After all, Annie Leonhart is very cool, but her actual height is only... 153 cm.
