[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

It was the daytime as usual, the day of discussing the strategy of the boss as always, the weather was a little warm and sunny, but on the contrary, Kirito's already restless mood after seeing the announcement in the morning was dyed with a little irritability.

"Yo! Kirito!"

Kirito, who was walking towards the meeting room, heard the call behind him, and turned around to see the familiar big man with bald head.

"It's you, Agil."

"What's the matter, you look so listless?" Agil patted Kirito's shoulder heavily, his thick arms wrapped around his neck, and a sincere smile appeared on his dark face.

"It's nothing, it's probably because of the heat." Kirito hesitated for a moment, then shook his head as he watched the crowds constantly gathering towards the meeting place.

"Well, although it is your own business, Kirito, you can come to me at any time if you have any troubles, Agil will always be your reliable companion!"

Kirito saw the encouraging smile on Agil's face and the raised thumb, and his heart gradually warmed up.

That's right, even a person like himself who suffers from the disadvantages of the game gradually has a partner who can go with him.

Kirito responded with a smile.

"Of course!"

Entering the somewhat enclosed small meeting room, there was only a simple lamp hanging on the table with a map in the middle, but as a habit, Kirito leaned against the most remote corner and looked around.

Probably because this is just a small boss's raid, and the large guilds only sent a few people to attend. The most eye-catching force is probably the blood alliance that presided over this raid. Most of them are small teams formed by some players themselves.

Kirito tried his best to restrain his figure and minimize his sense of existence.

When it was almost time, the door was slammed shut, and standing in front of the strategy sand table in the middle of the conference room was the commander of this strategy—"Flash" Asuna.

Compared with the shyness when he was in the first floor boss raid, he has really grown a lot.

As time passed, different people competed to offer their own suggestions for the common goal of defeating this little boss without losing their lives. Disputes and debates were also common.

Kirito, who had been leaning in the corner all the time, kept his head on his head, looking as if he was about to fall asleep, but the occasional frowning and deepening of his brows showed that he was actually quietly listening to everyone's opinions and the progress of the meeting.

"...Then, does anyone else want to share their own suggestions?" Asuna finally slapped the table heavily, and there was a brief silence, "Is there no more? Then, the best plan for this strategy is to ambush in the village Surroundings, and then when the boss attacks the surrounding people, he will attack violently..."

"Wait a moment!"

Asuna raised her head in surprise, and looked in the direction of the voice coming from the depths of the crowd.

"Kirito..."

Cut, did the black swordsman's unique sense of justice explode again?However, it's this guy... It's really troublesome...

Asuna's already serious face had a look of disapproval.

"Aren't you doing this to use those innocent people as bait to let them die in vain? How is this different from murder?!"

"Please note that those NPCs are not human at all, they are just a humanoid system setting that will resurrect after death, so there is no such thing as murder or murder!"

"Huh? Is it because they are NPCs, so they don't have their own emotions, and don't have the pain of being killed? Even in a world of complete stealth that is infinitely close to reality, it doesn't mean that we can trample on other people at will. The life of the creature!"

Asuna finally showed an impatient look on her face.

"So, you want to kill the boss and protect the NPC at the same time, do you want more people to die for your ridiculous sense of justice?!"

"When... of course not, I just think we can adopt a more reasonable and safe strategy!"

"Hehe, your decision doesn't seem to be feasible at the moment. If there is no better way after repeated consideration, we will not regard this plan as the best!"

"I just hope that people don't rush to take this approach, maybe wait a little longer..."

Seeing Kirito's opposition, Asuna somehow remembered Kirito's cover-up that evening, and the back view she saw yesterday...

Mingming's inner feeling tells him that his suspicions are true, but he can't confirm the connection... This feeling is really...

Totally broken!

"Okay, okay, well, since you don't have the slightest sense of attacking as soon as possible, then, well, let's have a duel, if you win, then discuss it again; if I win, then follow this plan Come!" Asuna finally broke out impatiently.

Kirito looked at Asuna's determined expression, and a certain nerve in his mind that was afraid of trouble began to ache again.

"It doesn't have to be like this..."

"Why, are you afraid of losing?"

Kirito was stunned by Asuna's persuasive words, seeing the different expressions on the faces of the players around him, for a while, Kirito only felt in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a heavy hand patted on his shoulder, as if he had found a life-saving straw in a critical moment, Kirito turned his head in a hurry.

"Agil?"

"Go, Kirito, use your efforts to practice what you think in your heart." Agil showed a simple and honest smile, and gave Kirito a thumbs up.

Kirito's expression was slightly startled, and seeing Agil's supportive expression, he gradually became firmer.

He nodded inaudibly, turned around, and pressed the blue button on the control panel in front of him.

"I accept your invitation to a duel."

Since the raiders always have to keep moving to the front line, for the sake of saving resources, the so-called raider meeting room is also rented a building near the labyrinth on the new floor, or even just in the Some safe locations make some simple structures as temporary places.

But this time, some holes were dug on a stone wall, so there was a large open space outside the meeting room.

The duel will be held here.

Since it's just a duel of a sparring nature, the guy whose blood gauge drops to half first loses, and it's up to the point.

Since each sword skill has a fixed initiation action, it is also necessary for high-class swordsmen to judge the opponent's sword skill type in advance by observing the opponent's initial action and choose the corresponding sword skill to deal with it. One of the qualities.

At this time, Asuna did not directly observe Kirito's movements, but quickly assumed a starting posture of sword skills, and Kirito's pupils shrank slightly. The swordman's speed has been brought to the extreme, and Kirito has a headache when he thinks of Asuna's title of "Flash". Good at "speed" to win.

Although it was an extremely willful and rude decision, but——

Kirito casually assumed a sword-holding pose, allowing the countdown in the sky to reset to zero little by little.

"What kind of sword skill is this?"

"I don't know... Could it be some new special sword skill?"

Agil, who was on the sidelines, propped his chin and shook his head helplessly, "Kirito is also a casual guy."

The moment the timer reset to zero, Asuna rushed forward at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, only to feel a gust of wind, and Asuna collided with Kirito's sword.

In just a short moment, Kirito didn't know how many swords he received.

It's... so fast!As expected of a guy with the title of "Flash"!

"Yo, Agil."

The onlookers turned their heads and saw the familiar scruffy face among a group of red warriors.

"Klein, you're here too. I didn't see you this morning, so I thought you wouldn't be participating."

"Haha, how could that be? We, Feng Lin Huo, have never been absent. We were delayed a while during the mission in the morning, and we just arrived." Klein stood next to Klein, staring at the open space in the middle, " By the way... that's Kirito... and the popular queen Asuna?!"

"what!"

"Ah!!! This guy Kirito is always so good with women! When did he even hook up with Asuna 'Shining'? Really, without saying a word, he is not enough brother!" Klein said With envious and angry expressions on his face, he sighed loudly, attracting the gazes of several people around him as if they were insane.

"It's a duel."

"Eh? What did you say?"

"It's a duel, not a collusion." Agil corrected seriously.

"Cut~ Aren't they all the same~ By the way, how did this happen?" Klein, who had had enough teasing, waved his hand and became serious, "The situation doesn't look good, but with this attack speed, It's amazing."

"There was a dispute about the strategy at the meeting." Agil summed it up in a nutshell, watching the battle with concern.

Indeed, Kirito has always been dodging, or in other words, unable to parry under the violent speed attack, and had to adopt this way of dodging.

Kirito...

"Don't worry, this guy is a true combat genius. You see, although he looks a little embarrassed, Kirito's blood bar has basically not dropped." Klein also watched the battle situation with concern, "Although this This kind of attack is quite fierce, but the attack power is too scattered, and probably can only temporarily suppress Kirito, as for the counterattack, it is just a matter of time."

"Yeah."

Time passed bit by bit, and Kirito on the field was indeed struggling to avoid Asuna's rainstorm-like offensive, but some key attacks could always be blocked unscathed, and at the same time, silently calculating in his mind The gap between the activation of Sina's sword skills.

"Basically 2 seconds..." Looking at the tired Asuna in front of him, Kirito's eyes flashed with determination.

"Swipe—" Another sword light slashed towards Kirito's side face, but after Kirito quickly turned his head, there was still only a shallow trace left.

Asuna wrinkled her thin eyebrows, and bit her lower lip hard.

If this goes on like this, the physical strength will only drop rapidly but there may not be any real damage. On the surface, my offensive is very fierce, but only Asuna knows that these attacks of hers did not bring very effective damage at all. .

This guy...is he a blood cow...

At the same time, Kirito's eyes flashed, and he stomped on the ground with his right heel, but his figure disappeared in place like a ghost.

Asuna and the surrounding audience were all startled.Then--

"boom--"

"ah!!!!"

"Ding—the duel is over, the player Kirito wins!"

"It's really slow, Kirito!" Klein, who was watching from the sidelines, yelled without hesitation, but the joy on his face was clearly visible.

"Good job, Kirito!" The big man Agil was obviously relieved.

Kirito turned his head and showed an embarrassed smile, then walked towards Asuna who was at the side, and held out his hand.

"are you OK?"

Asuna, who was kicked hard to the sidelines, glared at him with resentful eyes, put aside his hand, and stood up, showing no embarrassment of failure.

"Congratulations, Kirito-kun." Asuna smiled reservedly, "According to the agreement, I will postpone this proposal for another 3 days."

"This kind of thing..." Kirito scratched his head, "Thank you very much."

"Actually, Kirito-kun, you and..." What is the relationship between Qingqian Senior?

"What?" Kirito was a little confused by Asuna's hesitation.

"Forget it...it's nothing, please continue to work hard, Kirito-kun!"

Asuna didn't say anything else, she turned around to meet the blood alliance members running over, smiled and comforted a few times, and then left gracefully, leaving Kirito who was a little confused standing there.
