[Look, they only have the one army, Riza. It's not as hard to be humanity's strongest when humanity tops out at like, a million people, period. Most of those people are probably wimps, too. He tips his head back at Hawkeye in a way that says "what else would it be?"]
Yeah. [More specifically, he's the best at killing them, and not getting killed in the process, which is a feat unto itself. But that probably goes without saying. It's why Eren had been put under his watch in the first place—and Eren's come to know him a little bit better since Levi became his erstwhile keeper, he's managed to start to expand his reasons to respect him. But the crux of it is yes, because he's the best at killing titans. Like a proper embarrassing overeager fanboy, he can't leave it at that.] He's the best with the maneuver gear, and he's got more kills on record than anyone else. People say he's worth an entire brigade on his own.
[And humanity really needs every bit of that. He sobers, jaw locking up and fingers going still against Hayate's head, earning an unimpressed whine.]
It's not that much of a surprise that ALASTAIR would have wanted to recruit him.
[Despite their "employer" making some pretty weird decisions in general, if they were going to pick anyone up from his world, Levi would probably be the obvious choice. No matter how much humanity needed him, apparently.]
