"How's she doing? Any change in her condition at all? A tall man wearing a black tuxedo who had slicked back medium brown hair asked a
man in a labcoat presumably a scientist who replied with
"No Sir, she is still in an unstable state and slowly worsening by the hour, at this rate I give her another few weeks to live at the
very most." He said with a grim look on his face.
"Damn it" The man said, he felt stupid, stupid for using the Emotion Controlling machine on his soon to be wife. "Why would I use her
as the first test subject. I should have waited untill it was fully tested and complete before using it on her, but I just Couldn't
wait any longer
-Aincrad, Arc Sophia floor 76 -
Kirito and the rest of the perrage just made it through the bright and usually cheerful city of arc sohpia this day however there was
barely anyone in sight, they were currently looking for any of Kirito's old friends Klien, sillica and Lisbeth, even Agil. to help get
info on where argo was.
"Man I hope there even alive, this place looks more dead than I've ever seen any floor ever, even during the beta test" Kirito said not
to pleased at the current situation in Aincrad, in his mind he thought that the cause of all these peoples lives were his fault, for
his failure to beat heathcliff that day, had he succeed he would have freed the 6000 people left alive, 5000 of which are now dead. He
hung his head in shame, which Rias noticed and moved closer to him to try and and about what was bothering him so much.
"Kirito, you look like something's bothering you. Is there anything I can do to help you? she asked in a cheerful tone, she hated
seeing her servants in an unpleasant mood. Kirito opened his mouth to answer when Yui who caught on to his worsening mood fairly
quickly said
"Daddy's having a hard time dealing with all the people that died because he lost the duel with Heathcliff, had he won he would have
ended the game." She stated turning to Kirito and hugging him to comfort him aswell as herself when she continued "Remember daddy. I'm
always here with you so you don't have to worry, I'll always be here and love you" She finished her speach with a kiss on his cheek
which caused a blush from him and giggle from the rest of the group. Akeno noticed Kirito seemed to be a little happier with himself
and is able to cope with stuff better since Yui came around.
'That little girl who has long black hair and black eyes that look just like kirito's, she is really amazing, and cute to in that white
dress of hers'
Akeno was snapped out of her thought when Rias called her over, "Akeno come here I need your help with something" but she was quickly
stopped by a hand on her shoulder that turned out to be Kirito's as he turned to Rias and said
"Everyone, we should go get a room at an inn and find out what all of your stats and levels are, mine are the same from before I left
but if you guys are low leveled then this mission just turned into a long one" He said the last part with a grim look on his face as he
knew it was very well possible that they had new accounts created by Ophis for them, He only hoped that wasint the case.
Rias had heard what Kirito said and was currently thinking about it, She looked over at Kirito and said "Yeah that seems like a good
idea now that were inside a game doesn't it? I guess we're going to the inn then" Kirito nodded and they were soon set off in search on
an inn,
-10 minutes later, Inside the Laughing Knights Inn-
Kirito thought it must've been pure luck they came across an Inn so fast, stepping in he quickly found the Innkeeper and asked for a
room. he gladly directed them to a free room and with payment he was off back to his daily duty as an NPC Innkeeper.
Once everyone got in and settled minus Issei who Koneko made stand up as he would've had to sit next to her for lack of space.
Kirito turned to the group and started his explanation. "Ok now that everyone is here and all setteled down it's time to see what your
character level is and i will explain how each class works for all of you" He turned to Issei first and held out his Right hand towards
him and said "Issei, since you have actually played video games before you became a devil we'll start with you ok?" He waited for
confirmation before he started.
He nodded and said "Yeah sure, I'm as ready as I'll ever be"
"Alright now hold out your hand like I'm doing now" Kirito instructed
"Like this?" Issei copied his movements wondering what they were doing.
"Yeah perfect, now just slide your hand down quickly and the in game menu should pop up."
Issei did as instructed after seeing Kirito's menu pop up with startled Asia as she was such a sheltered Girl. When he saw the menu
come up fine he asked
"What now? I see 'Character info' 'Inventory' 'proficiencys' 'Secondary skills' and 'Sword skills'" He listed them off wondering what
each one meant, he knew character and inventory were as they stated info on both your character and what you had on you a.k.a your
inventory
"Well first check your character info and see what weapon you have equipped and your character level and name, We should go by in game
names in here because real names are shunned in the game world" He instructed the older boy
"Ok" he tapped the box titled 'Character' and it opened up a square shaped menu with his stats and eqipment on it, He then continued as
he saw the info they needed "My character is a Holy or 2 handed sword user" Kiba flinched at the mention of Holy swords but didn't
interupt issei as he continued : I'ts level 90 and the weapons It has are called" His eyes widened as he started as kiba not daring to
say the next few words, He turned to rias showing her the menu and which sword he had, Her eyes widened also at the sight of the name
"Excalibur" Written alongside a tiny picture of his avatar, She looked at him before saying
"Well it's just a game right? It's not like it's the real one" She then turned to Kiba saying "I know this is going to be the most
shocking to you as you had bad experiances with this sword but Issei's Sword is called the Excalibur, the complete form"
As soon as the words were out of her mouth kiba was seething with anger but he knew he had to keep his cool since destroying this
Excalibur would only hinder them in the game world and would'nt stop the real one from wreaking havoc, so he calmly said "It's ok Rias,
I know it's just a game and getting mad and destroying this one would not help my goal in the real world. No matter how much pleasure
it would give me" He said the last few words in such a low tone in barely came out as a whisper but she still heard it and frowned but
decided to let it slide this time
With all that out of the way Kirito turned to Issei and said "Wow, Not only are you level 90 and a Holy sword user, But you also have
the Excalibur." Kirito said barely believing what he was seeing "Ophis' must have known we'd need good equipment"
He then asked Issei "Is there anything else that we should know about your character?" He had a feeling that Ophis planned her spell to
give them Good accounts.
"Umm" He groaned flicking thorough the skill menus and such until he stopped and said " well all I can see Is that my proficiency is
for 2-handed Sword and holy sword but i already said that, other than that I have a High Light and Medium equipment Repair, Within ten
levels of max actually"
Kirito perked up when he heard that, "Well your useful on and off the battlefield" He laughed and continued "That skill will let you
repair All of our equipment for a lot cheaper than the NPC's and you should be able to do a better job to" Issei looked happy to be
able to help everyone out in this weird world nobody but Kirito fully understood. Thats when kirito turned to the rest of them and said
"Well now you know how to find the information, What level are you guys and what skills do you have?" He asked the group at large
Rias was the first to open her menu and speak up, After a few seconds of scanning her menu she said "I'm level 100 an-" Kirito cut her
off the instant the words 'level 100' registered in his brain.
"What? How? Your 3 levels below me. and I was the highest leveled by far before I left" He asked astonished that Ophis could get
accounts This good for them, he then realized what he was asking her and rubbed the back of his head embarrassed and said "Umm, forget i
asked that please, I know you wouldn't know either it just came as a shock to find out your that high of a level, I mean I was
impressed when Issei was level 90 but level 100? that's amazing Rias" He smiled and gestured for her to continue
She was staring into his eyes loving the confidence in his eyes whenever he talked to her, then quickly realized everyone was watching
her waiting for her to continue so she composed herself once again and said "As I was saying I'm level 100 and my main combat skill is
called Shurikenjutsu" she looked up at Kirito for conformation on what that was exactly.
He just looked back at her in confusion and said "What? did you say Shurikenjutsu?" She nodded and he contined "I've never heard of it,
it must be a unique skill along the lines of my duel blades, Unique skills are told apart by The edge of the Skill icon will be Gold
bordered. He moved over to look at her menu and Nodded his head saying "Yeah, like i thought, this is a unique skill. How you got it?
It could take weeks to find out what gives it to you, All we can do is test is later on after this and see what it does" With a pout
she agreed and continued to list off her information
"Well I guess all that's left now is my Weapon and Secondary skill right?" She asked Kirito to which he nodded for her to continue so
she did "My weapon i have equipped now is called 'Dagger of Ominous Destruction' And my secondary skill is Tracking, max level"
Kirito's eyes widened once again as he heard she had a Tracking skill better than his and a glance at her character windoe showed Her
dagger Was at least a Phantasm level.
"Well No worries about you two hindering us Rias and Issei" Kirito said with a smile trying to reassure them they had good stats and
would'nt end up dead. He then turned to the rest of the group and said "Well let's continue shall we?"
Akeno stepped forward almost immediately after Kirito finished and she opened her window and began to read off her list "I'm level 99,
My main combat skill is battoujutsu or Sword Drawing" She turned to kirito as she said "Yes it's another unique sword skill" TO which
he grinned ear to ear hearing they had so much raw power on their team, She then continued "My main weapon is... Well it says here
that With battoujutsu I don't need a Weapon because I can make my own in seconds anyway, But I also have proficiency with a Katana, My
secondary skills are Drug mixing and familiar communication"
Kirito thought about it for a minute before giving his input "Well drug mixing is for health potions, mana potions, Poisons that we'd
apply to our weapons or even support drinks that would boost our stats, so thats a good one to have, I'd also like you to come with me
and Rias later to test our unique sword skills" With that she happily nodded and let Kirito get on to the next person
Kiba stood up next facing Kirito as he opened his menu and Read off the same information as the others "I'm level 97 and My main Combat
skill is Darkness blade, Sadly it is a high ranking skill but not a Unique skill, My main weapon is a Demon sword of destruction And my
secondary skill is called Slash weapon forging" He then went silent as he noticed that the his secondary skill had the gold border and
said "I think My secondary skill is unique" Which made Kirito Gasp in surprise as he went to confirm what Kiba was saying was true,
After he saw the gold border He looked at Kiba and said
"Well the only explanation for this is Your sacred gears" He stated Which everyone found odd. How could His sacred gear affect this
world and not Kirito or Issei's He then continued "well i guess your coming with us to later for the unique skill test" He said and kiba
nodded and sat back down, Which made Koneko Instantly Stand up as it was her turn,
She Looked at Kirito with a blank expression as she read off the info "I'm also level 97, My main combat skill is Infinate spear and
Martial arts, My weapon is called" Her blank expression suddenly went to one of confusion "It's called the Spear of Ophis" With that
said everyone's eyed widened considerably as Kirito's Jaw almost hit the floor when he saw the attack power on it.
"Wow Koneko, Ophis must have made this When she used the spell to bring us here, I don't know any other way you would get Unique skill
"Infinite spear" And the weapon "Spear of Ophis", Speaking of that spear I've never seen nor heard anything about it before, It's
attack it way overpowered, your lucky Koneko-Chan" Kirito told her trying to hide his own jealousy that Ophis would give her something
but not him, and a crazy powerful weapon at that. He got out of his thoughts and turned to Rias and said "So, Where to now Rias?" He
asked her expecting her to lead the group as she was their King, but to everyones surprise she looked at Kirito and said
"Well I may usually be in charge of us, but I think you would do a better job in this world, your world" And with that she entrusted
the safety of their peerage to Kirito as long as they were in Aincrad,
"Are you sure?" He asked her, nervous to be leading a group, he never was a group player in games up untill now that is. When she
nodded a grin formed slowly across his face as he looked at the group and said, "Well I guess that settles it, Now We go out into the
field to test out Everyone's unique skills." He said as he led them out into and great unknown that was floor 76.
