Haru.

What?

Your breath tickles.

Chiyu...

Can we just stop using this short cable already?!

No way! If Taku's copy fails, I'll need to get it from you.

Are we ready?

Hang on.

Ouch!

Why didn't you bring a cable?

Why don't you have two long ones with you?

Chiyu,

I'm going to warn you for the last time.

The Brain Burst program I'm going to send you is more than just a game.

You might regret doing this someday.

That's right. If you think it's just an easy way to get some amazing power—

I thought I told you!

It's not about getting some special power.

You've just been taking it so seriously and

it's about time you both tried enjoying it.

So let's get on with it!

Okay.

Haru, I'm scared.

What if Chiyu changes?

If we— Well, if you look after her, she'll be fine.

And it might not even install successfully.

What is this?

Chiyu?

"Welcome to the Accelerated World?"

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

I will awaken and tread

through this world

I wallow in self-pity and insignificance

and all that I look out on

is a lie, a fabrication

I realize that, looking from where I stand, practically alone

The future ahead of myself, so much brighter, promises me beauty

We ask for a place where we can all be ourselves, develop as we want

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

Now for the first time I can go faster than the others

and will go farther and higher than I used to

I want to tell you my feelings

I will awaken, walk through this world

and chase it

Here's today's order, Piggy.

Why am I still having this dream?

Do we really have to change classes?

Kurashima Chiyuri Haru, you're still up?

I just woke up.

It's so windy out...

It'll blow all the cherry blossoms away.

Um...

I'll leave the gate open, so log into my home server.

What? Now?

Kurashima Chiyuri Yeah, I'll wait for you.

Why? Oh well, guess there's no choice.

Direct Link.

What's this?

An anomalocaris. A creature from the Cambrian Period.

You're still using that avatar?

You should change it.

I've gotten used to it.

Anyway, what's with all these cushions?

Isn't it awesome?

I was given a memory upgrade when my grades in school improved.

It goes on for 15 km at this resolution.

Really?! Let me play with it.

No way!

If I let you touch it, it'll smell like smoke, oil, and iron.

It'd be great!

We could even get a Tiger tank or a BF109 fighter plane in here.

Not a chance!

Stay still.

What are you doing?

You told me I might have a scary dream tonight, so I don't want to go to sleep.

You'll have to sleep eventually. If you don't

have that dream, you can't make your duel avatar.

Avatars are made based on your mental scars. If you've never had any trauma—

How rude! Everyone's had some kind of traumatic event...

This one time on a school trip, someone got carsick and my knees got covered in...

Look, I'm sorry. I apologize. You don't have to go into further detail.

I'm glad you understand.

Stop moving around, you're my pillow.

A pillow?

I remember one time you came to stay at my house,

I used you as my pillow and I slept really well.

That was an awfully long time ago.

Hey, Haru.

I tried really hard, y'know?

To become a Burst Linker, that is.

I wanted to go back to the time when we all played together.

I'm so nervous.

Please be okay...

Hey, Haru.

T-Taku...

Haru, yo!

Chiyu! What are you doing here?

Wait, what? Why are you crying?

No reason.

Isn't it great? The three of us are in the same class.

Morning! What a coincidence, eh?

All right, everyone. Off the global net!

Morning assembly is about to start!

I have no doubt the vast majority of you are feeling as anxious as you are eager.

Especially the freshmen, encountering both a

new school and new classmates to look up to.

And they're just like you, standing together here, sharing your anxiousness.

If you...

While that time seems vast and endless...

Unbelievable. Can she read my mind?

No matter how long it feels, it's over in an instant.

So make every moment count and have a highly rewarding year. Thank you.

Next, the educational guidance counselor will talk about...

What was that all about?

Could it be?

A Burst Linker among the new students?

Well, it seemed like she noticed something. She was staring right at them.

Actually, I was just thinking the same thing.

However, usually a Burst Linker goes to the same school as their guardian.

But there's still a possibility, right?

We should check it out anyway.

School accounts should've been given out by now,

so the new students should be logging onto the school net any minute now.

Burst L—

Wait!

Chiyu!

You two are being all hush-hush again!

I know, I know. You were about to go to Accel World, right?

Well—

I told you before.

I promised that I was going to help you start enjoying the game.

It's pointless if you keep leaving me behind.

Chiyu.

You're right. Sorry.

Okay. Taku will have a look around the gallery,

since you'll have to use one Burst Point anyway.

Check out Chiyu's duel avatar while you're there.

Eh? What should I do, then?

Just stay there. I'll challenge you to a duel right away.

Let's go.

Burst Link!

Wow, is this me?

That's Chiyu's duel avatar?

The name "Lime Bell" appeared.

Lime Bell? What a gaudy color...

Don't be crazy! It's rare to get such a pure color!

Are you Haru?

Yes.

Heh! Avatars are an expression of your past trauma?

It all makes sense now.

Quiet, you! I know what you're thinking!

Oh? Is that Taku?

He's just as I expected, unlike Haru.

Haru, it looks like there aren't any Burst Linkers among the new students after all.

The only ones listed are...

Silver Crow, Black Lotus,

Cyan Pile, and Lime Bell. That's all.

Hey, aren't Haru and I having a duel now?

Wait a sec! Do you even know the rules?

Taku gave me a general idea.

You win lots of fights to earn lots of points,

and when you hit Level 10 you win the game, right?

It sounds simple when you put it that way.

Hey, don't I have a finishing move?

Oh come on...

You have an energy gauge on your screen...

You can open your skill list from there.

However, the finishers are...

Found it! Um...

Citron Call!

Huh?

You should've let me finish.

Your finishing move gauge has to be fully charged.

If you take damage, or do damage to your opponent...

Or, um, even if you destroy those objects over there...

Really?!

This feels great!

She's merciless!

Huh? Her energy gauge isn't going down.

In the Factory Stage, you should be taking some damage when you destroy objects.

Does she have a strong resilience?

Take this!

Um...

What?!

It's just that your gauge is full now, so it might work.

Oh, right. Why didn't you say so?

Right, once more then...

Citron Call!

Huh?

What was that? Nothing happened!

That can't be right.

Maybe it blinds people or something.

What a lame finisher!

Haru, give me one of yours or something!

What?! That's not something I can do!

Your gauge went down an awful lot for a simple dazzling skill.

But it didn't do any damage or weaken him,

which means...

No way...

Chiyu!

What?

Hit Haru with that bell.

Sure. I was about to do that anyway.

What?!

Still not enough. Couple more times.

Eh?! Taku?!

That should do it.

Chiyu, try your finishing move again.

Okay then.

Citron...

Call!

I think I've got it...

Huh? What's that?

My energy gauge recovered.

I was right.

Lime Bell

is a healer!

A healer?

This is a big problem!

Huh?

Accel World

A healer?

Yes. Takumu was surprised too.

He told me not to tell anyone since it would cause an uproar.

He's certainly right.

If the word gets out, Burst Linkers from all over Tokyo will come to Suginami and

a scouting battle will begin.

Are healers really that amazing?

In the seven years that Accel World has existed,

only two Burst Linkers have had healing abilities.

What's worse, one of them couldn't stand being

fought over, so they left Accel World altogether.

So now there's only one besides Lime Bell...

And that person is currently one of the Six Kings.

A King?! What color?

Snow Black?

I'm sorry. I don't even want to tell you that person's name.

I don't want you to be even remotely interested in them.

Snow Black?

Don't worry, I trust you.

I trust that you wouldn't be interested in the other kings or tempted by them.

But I can't stop worrying about it.

Haruyuki.

You belong to me.

Up until now and from now on...

For all eternity, I'll never give you up.

Of course.

We've gotten off track.

As I was saying, healing abilities are incredibly rare in Accel World,

they're basically a show of strength.

Right.

And where's Kurashima now?

Taku ought to be telling her that she shouldn't do anything rash right now.

I should probably meet with her too and have a little heart-to-heart chat.

Yes, you're right.

Those two having a chat?

That could get rough.

Legion?

Yes. Haru and I belong to the Nega Nebulous.

Led by Snow Black?

Yeah.

Okay.

Really?

Yes. Then the three of us can be together again like old times.

Chiyu.

We can go back, right?

All of us, to that time.

I'll be going now.

Oh, right. Let me know if you want anything from Okinawa.

Okinawa?

Going on a trip?

Didn't you know?

The third years are going on a school trip this Sunday.

Eh? A school trip?

Look after things while I'm away.

I'll deal with Kurashima myself in about ten days.

Wait a minute! What about our territory battles?

Fight to the death.

I'd better not return to see another legion's flag standing here in Suginami.

B-But...

How about this?

If you win next week, I'll grant you any wish you want as a reward.

A reward?

Well, think about it.

A reward...

Is this really all you want?

Yes. This is great!

No!

That's not what I want!

You want me to cable link?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

My breath! My breath will tickle her!

You belong to me.

I'm disgusting! The worst!

Maybe I just need time to think about it.

Ouch!

Are you okay?

Thanks.

I'm glad you're not hurt. See you around, Sir.

A new student?

Fight to the death?

That's typical of our master.

Typical? You're awfully calm about this.

The two of us will have to fight the territory battle by ourselves.

There's nothing else we can do.

I figured this would happen eventually,

ever since I joined the Nega Nebulous.

And what about Chiyu?

She has healing abilities, right?

Even if she doesn't fight, as long as she's on our side...

We can go back, right? All of us, to that time.

Taku? What's wrong?

Hey, Haru... Hmm?

No, never mind...

Go! Taku!

Sorry I'm late. I got lost.

How's Taku doing?

He just lost a point, so it's 1 to 1.

He's not completely dominating like he used to, but he's trying hard.

I see.

He's not accelerating in matches anymore.

Taku! If you don't win here you can't go on to fight against other schools!

One point! Victory!

You did it!

Good old Taku.

That's the kid from before...

The final match! Red, Nomi.

Yes!

Nomi...

White, Mayuzumi.

Yes!

Begin!

What's up with him? Something seems...

Let's go! Taku, go all out!

C'mon Haru, start cheering.

Um, well...

You're too quiet...

One point!

Taku...

What was that?

Begin!

Something's strange. That should've been a direct hit,

but not only did he dodge it, he scored a point on me too.

It can't be. But maybe...

Burst...

Burst Link!

We checked pretty thoroughly,

so why wasn't he listed?!

Not there. How come?

Just now, I'm sure he said Burst.

Taku.

Chiyu.

Burst Out.

Mask! One point!

Victory!

Red is the winner, Nomi!

We are tossed by waves of pain and tears

I'm tossed into the fray, tossed by various fortune

wake up your brain, flashed in the sky

it's a burst of sensation

I found peace once I gave up in this stagnant world

When did it become like that?

Without warning I was thrust into importance

All I seek is some permanence

among these troubled times for us

I will be honest and tell you what I feel

so that my words of truth and the dreams

I couldn't tell you echo in the sky

With more determination than before

I will wipe away the tears in my eyes

and with my new-found strength

I will whisper to myself, "Now is the time!"

and put my wounds to some use at last

Faster, ever faster, towards you

Even if my wings should be torn to pieces

I will make it through this twisted world on foot

and where my feelings lead me

I will accelerate with the truth

Next time, "Arrestation."

Snow Black goes on a trip.

Haruyuki is left behind and becomes ensnared in a trap.
