March 1, 380 (H.E.C.) North Centoria District Six

March 1, 380 (H.E.C.) North Centoria District Six

Thanks a lot!

Delicious!

That's bad manners, Kirito.

You gotta eat it when it's piping hot, I always say!

Some things about you never change, huh, Kirito?

Guess not!

I can't believe how time flies.

It's already been two years since we left Rulid.

Yeah.

And so much happened since then, huh?

Two years ago,

we arrived in Zakkaria,

and while earning our keep working on a farm,

we honed our swordsmanship skills.

We won the Swordfighting Tournament

and joined the Zakkaria garrison.

But who would've thought we'd go even further—
to the capital and Swordcraft Academy?

Sometimes I feel like pinching myself.

Come on now.

It's already been a year since we moved into the dorm.

Shouldn't you be used to it all by now?

I guess so.

Kirito?

Liena-senpai!

What a nice surprise.

Good morning!

Good morning. And you're... Eugeo-kun, correct?

Yes!

No need to be so nervous.

What are you doing in town, Liena-senpai?

I was at my family's home, and they asked me to pick up some things.

W-Would you like us to help you?

You, help me?

But you're Golgorosso Balto's page, aren't you?

I'm sorry, I was out of line. Forgive me!

Not to mention...

Shouldn't my own page have offered first?

Well...

Really!

I appreciate the offer.

But I won't be making any big purchases, so I'll be fine.

This is your day of rest, after all.
It's all right to forget about work.

Although that work will be coming to an end soon.

Graduation is fast approaching.

I wish I could've learned more from you.

As your senpai, no words could make me feel more blessed.

I look forward to another day of learning!

As do I!

Right.

Why are you so rattled?

Well, Sortiliena-senpai is so beautiful and has that aura around her, you know?

True enough.

I'm tense as hell whenever we spar during training.

Golgorosso-senpai is a force to be reckoned with, too.

I still haven't won a single point off Golgorosso-senpai yet.

I'm in the same boat.

With how strong Liena-senpai is, it's a wonder that she's only second seat in her class.

Makes you wonder just how strong First-Seat Volo-senpai is.

Who knows?

I can't even imagine beating those upperclassmen.

Can't even imagine it, huh?

March 1, 380 (H.E.C.) Swordcraft Academy, Primary Trainee's Dorm

Good night, Kirito.

Yeah, good night!

After spending two years here,

I've learned that the mechanisms of this world can't be measured in simple numerical terms alone.

The only three things visible on your status are your life,

your Object Control Authority,

and your System Control Authority.

If your Object Control Authority is low,

it's difficult to even hold up a high-class weapon.

Conversely, if your stats far surpass that class, it feels light as a feather.

Your System Control Authority is related to the sacred arts.

If you're low-level, you can only use simple spells.

But again, you can use sophisticated spells once you level up.

All of that is no different than any other game.

Last and most important is a quirk that didn't exist in SAO or ALO:

The ability of your mental image to affect these parameters.

If you have the confidence to win, or a strong belief in yourself, your power is amplified many times over.

That's what makes Liena-senpai so powerful.

She's received top-notch training in swordsmanship since she was a child.

She believes that she can't lose.

In other words, if you can imagine yourself to be more powerful than anyone,

that gives you the potential to rewrite the laws of the world.

March 7, 380 (H.E.C.) Elite Disciples' Dorm Training Hall

Amazing as always, Liena-senpai.

You've made some progress yourself, Kirito.

I still have a long way to go.

Don't be so modest.

I know you're still hiding some of your power from me.

When I chose you as my page a year ago,

it was because I sensed a similarity in our sword styles.

But in the last year, it's become clear how unrefined my sword techniques are.

You're really powerful, Liena-senpai.

In the end, I wasn't able to beat you once during training.

Nor have I managed to overcome him in the last two years.

Are you talking about First-Seat Volo Levantein-senpai?

Yes.

To be honest,

whenever I face Volo, I can feel myself falter.

No matter how hard I train,

I just can't convince myself that I can withstand his powerful sword.

Senpai...

However.

It's not a lack of confidence that's holding you back.

There's more to the Aincrad Style that you haven't shown me, isn't there?

I want to know everything about you as a swordsman before I graduate in two days' time.

This wooden sword can't...

Very well. But forgive me.

Could you wait for just one more day? I promise to show you tomorrow.

The strongest technique I can wield.

Tomorrow's a day of rest.
Training is forbidden, remember?

Well... This isn't training.

U-Um... It's your graduation gift!

I'm sure it's okay to give someone a present on a day of rest, right?

I've never heard of giving someone a sword move as a gift.

But I'll gratefully accept it.

Great! It'll be my pleasure.

Primary Trainee Kirito, reporting!

You've arrived 38 minutes after curfew.

My mentor, Elite Disciple Sortiliena Serlut,
held me back in our training session.

It's a page's duty to accept the instruction of a disciple, so I suppose there's nothing I can say.

But I suspect that you see this as a free pass to escape curfew. Is that so?

N-Not at all, Azurica-sensei!

My only goal is to hone my skills as much as I can.

Breaking curfew is an unintended consequence.

Supper is in 17 minutes.
Make sure you're not late for that.

Where were you, Kirito?

Sorry! Liena-senpai gave me a special training session.

Man, this looks good!

I can't tell you how jealous I am, Raios-dono.

After we toiled so hard to clean this cafeteria,

they get to simply waltz in and eat.

I'm positively dripping with envy!

Now, Humbert, don't be so quick to judge.

I'm sure that those page trainees have struggles of their own that we can't even fathom.

I suppose you have a point.

The pages are at their mentors' beck and call.

I hear they can't say no to them, no matter what.

They're an eccentric bunch. After all, they picked commoners to be their pages.

They must issue the most outlandish orders!

Don't pay any attention to them, Kirito.

By the way, Kirito, how's your garden doing?

Better and better each day!

It should be ready in time for graduation.

Oh, yeah? I'm looking forward to it!

They're really thriving, huh?

They're even starting to bud.

Third time's the charm, I guess.

I really hope they'll bloom this time.

You really surprised me this time. Giving Liena-senpai flowers you raised yourself as a graduation gift?

I know.

Even after spending two years together,

I had no idea you enjoyed this kind of thing.

Yeah. That makes two of us.

Maybe this is a sign that all of your memories are coming back.

Like, maybe you used to grow flowers before you showed up in Rulid Village?

Or maybe that was your Calling?

Y-Yeah, could be! Here, let me get some water real quick.

Say, Kirito.

What will you do if you do regain your memories?

What do you mean?

You're training to become an Integrity Knight to help me out, aren't you?

In my quest to find Alice, who was taken away by the Axiom Church.

But when you get your memories back, you'll go home.

Even if I do get my memories back, I'm not going home.

I was a swordsman.

That's the one thing I'm certain of.

And what swordsman wouldn't strive to become an Integrity Knight?

I'm... a weak person.

If I hadn't met you, I'd probably still be swinging that axe every day, even now.

Using my Calling as an excuse to never really try to leave the village.

The only reason I got into this academy was because you led the way.

Despite all that...

When you said you weren't going home even if you got your memories back...

it filled me with such relief.

Listen, man. I couldn't have made it to the capital on my own either, okay?

I didn't know how to get here, and my memory's patchy.

And what's more, I didn't have two shia to rub together.

The reason you and I have a place at this academy is because we were together.

So let's keep it that way.

We've got to stick together.

We can wait to struggle on our own after we're Integrity Knights, right?

That's right.

And to get there, we have to place in the top 12 on the Advancement Exam, huh?

Yeah, I'm a little worried my sacred arts skills won't be up to it.

Help me with that when we get back to our room.

Okay. If you want, I can spend our rest day tomorrow helping you.

Uh, tomorrow's not good.

Oh, that's right!

Right. It's the day it's going to be ready.

Bet you've been looking forward to this.

I mean, I've waited a whole year!

I can't wait to try it out!

North Centoria District Seven, in front of Sadore's Metalworking Shop

North Centoria District Seven, in front of Sadore's Metalworking Shop

Look at this!

These black-brick grindstones are supposed to last three years,

but that's six demolished in one year!

I'm really sorry.

You can only shave a sliver off that branch,
no matter how hard you grind!

Do you know just how much time I spent on this sword?

March 31, 378 (H.E.C.) Gigas Cedar Forest

March 31, 378 (H.E.C.) Gigas Cedar Forest

This one branch of the Gigas Cedar is the part that absorbed the most of Solus' blessings.

Take that with you.

When you get to the capital,

you should leave this branch with a craftsman by the name of Sadore.

He'll be able to fashion it into a fantastic sword.

You know, I'm supposed to be crafting metal as my Calling.

S-So... is the sword done?

Young man.

We still haven't discussed the matter of payment.

Don't worry, Kirito.

I brought along all my money too, just in case.

I might consider letting you have it free of charge.

However! That's only if you can swing this monster, all right?

The second I was done forging this thing into a sword, it actually got heavier.

A monster, is it?

What's wrong, Kirito?

It's nothing.

That was amazing, Kirito!

So the skinny little academy trainee can swing that thing, eh?

It's a fine sword.

You bet your ass it is!

And like I promised,

that sword is yours.

Thank you very much!

Okay, I'm going to take some practice swings.

Don't be late for dinner, all right?

Right!

For some reason, sword skills exist in this world, too.

I could only manage two-hit strikes with my wooden practice sword.

But if I use this sword...

Looks like I'll be able to keep my promise to Liena-senpai.

Come to think of it, I couldn't unleash the five-hit strike, even with the Blue Rose Sword.

I wonder if this one can?

I guess that's too much to ask.

First-Seat Levantein?

Please forgive me, Elite Disciple Levantein!

I sincerely apologize for my rudeness!

You're Elite Disciple Serlut's page, right?

Yes. I'm Primary Trainee Kirito.

I see.

Training the sword is forbidden on days of rest.

N-No, First Seat! This isn't training.

You see, I was just trying out my new sword.
I just couldn't wait until tomorrow.

You seemed to be quite fired up for someone merely taking test swings.

But you're not unlike myself.

You aren't the only one out here

trying every which way to contrive a reason for wielding your sword, even on a day of rest.

Then...

Yes. I'll overlook the fact that you were swinging your sword on a day of rest.

I am grateful for your generosity.

Don't be so quick to thank me, Trainee Kirito.

S-Sorry?

I never said that I'd forgive you for this.

Swordcraft Academy Main Training Hall

Swordcraft Academy Main Training Hall

How did word spread so fast?

Kirito!

What did you do?

I, uh...

Well... I guess the fact that you stayed out of trouble for a whole year is a miracle in itself.

I knew you'd understand, partner!

Levantein-dono! What's the meaning of this?

Your page was a bit disrespectful to me.

Since I didn't feel that it warranted a serious punishment,

I intend to settle things by sparring with real swords.

Are you serious?

I'm sorry for worrying you, Senpai.

I'll be fine!

In fact, I'm honored to get the chance to spar with the first seat.

Kirito. What are the rules of your duel?

Since we're using real swords, wouldn't that be stop-short?

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention.

I don't do stop-short fights.

All of my matches end when one side lands the first strike.

Kirito has never fought a match with real swords!

Yes. Of course, this match can't happen without the consent of both of us.

If you refuse, we'll have no choice but to go with stop-short.

I'm going to let you choose, Trainee Kirito.

Don't do it, Kirito. Volo's powerful. It's too dangerous.

I'll leave the method up to you, Levantein-dono.

This is my punishment, after all.
