Kirito's P.O.V
It was Saturday's morning, our clearing group was on floor 26 now. Since It's Saturday none other player should be in dungeon, because all clearing guilds take breakes on weekends. Even when It's death game people still take breaks and rest from all fights, well except for me. I work alone in front lines, I'm beater, nobody wants in me in any guild nor I want be in any guild. Anyways, I was walking through dungeon and suddendly I heard battle cry mixed with monsters roars. 'Someone in dungeon on saturday?' I immediately rush there and saw what I expected least, a beutyfull and one of the best players on Aincrad, Asuma. She killed wolf with linear sword skill, I never seen someone doing this skill with such speed. In Sao or Sword Art Online there are few types of avatars: Tanks, Fighters and Assasins . That girl should be a fighter, but mostly they use seords not rapiers and she's relying on speed and on streinght. She notice me looking or staring at her "What are you looking at? If you are to propose me, answer is no, if you're here to fight me, answer also no, I never duel in weekens" I lift my both hands in peace "Ah...neither of them, I just came here to grind some xp nothing more, hey why are you here?" She looked at me bit angier than before, I just shrunk a little bit and started explaining myself and her face made me a little bit uneasy "I-I...everyone taking day off in weekends and normaly they hang out with friends and since I am solo players I need grind some xp, why are you here alone?" she turned her face away from me "We can't waste our time by resting and hanging out with 'Friends', don't you understand? Every second here is lost IRL" I looked at ground "You can't do nothing by working alone" she put hands on her great curved hips "then why are you here alone?" I sign, one part of why I'm here is because I don't have else to do, another part is that I'm not in any guild so I have to grind more "I'm solo player, I have to grind more often then average cleaner" she nod "I understand, since we will be here probobly alone, we should make a party" I chocked "What? With you? I-I mean why would you want to party with a loser like me" She little bit smiled "For insurance" She sent me a party request, I asked once again "Do you really want to? You don't know who I am" she eyed me from toe to tip of my hair "Black swordsman, aren't you?" I got surprised how did she knew me "How did you know that's me?" She giggled again "Simple, Dark hair with black suit, also you have only one handed sword and you always travel alone. Everyone had heard this tale before" I nod "Are you in?" She asked me, I thought about it and hit "Yes" button.
Today I learned two things, First: Having someone who knows how to fight properly makes things easier, second: beutyfull things can be dangerous.
We sat on the ground and lean in the walls, few seconds later to break up uncomfortable silence she started talk "Man I never partied with such good player" I smiled "I never partied with badass like you, wait a sec, you have one of the strongest guild in Aincrad, doesn't that mean you always party with high levels players?" She gave sign "No.. lot of times I have to give them commands, I wish they could work more on their own" I bit laugh "Good for me that I'm not on any guild" she opened menu and in her hands spawned two sandwiches, she stretched one out in front of me "F-for me?" I asked her, she sign "Do you think I'm showing off?" I immediately took one and bite. Taste was glorious for a sandwich, even surpassing some expensives meals in restaurants "Where did you got them? They're so delicious!" I excited loudly "I made it by myself" I looked at her very surprised "Yes I can cook" she spoke with pride in her voice "I-It's just wow, I never expected commander and bad ass cleaner to cook that good" she kind of laughed. It was about 9 in evening and It's always dangerouss to walk alone in the darkness, you can even have unexpected meeting with red players, so I asked her "Well Commander Mrs. Asuna, do you want walk alone or you need escort through forest, you know there's great chances to meet red players" she put finger on her chin and made serious face "Assuming there's big chance to meet them and walking alone would be deadly dangerous, you can escort me and don't think I will pay you back with dinner" I held one hand "You won't need, promise. I just ask for sake of my safety" she looked at me rather anoyed for unknown reason.
Asuna's P.O.V
We we're walking through forest in silence, it felt very uncomfortable luckily Black swordsman behind me broke it "um how's your guild?" 'Why would he ask about guild? Maybe he wants to join in?' "Fine? Why asking?" He scratch his head "You know, you're only one female leader of famous clearing guild, I mean how do they listen to you?" 'Maybe he really wants go join in my guild' I started speak with satisfy voice "One of my guild's rule are 'Always be loyal to commander' If some disagree we have a duel" he gave me chuckle and asked "What happen If they win?" I gave chuckle as well "Dunno, I never lost duel before" we keep chatting until I felt something in my right shoulder, It was knife, but It's not just any simple knife but poisioned one. I felt how my body became limb, I started to lose my streinght untill finnaly I collapsed, but luckily Kirito caught me. In front of us from tree and bush jumped out red players "Oh you just look at it, It's commander and beater" 'This is so bad, I can't move at all and poison effect lasts for 2 minutes' Kirito spoke "Isn't here laughing coffin, I did expected you here" they laughed "Don't care we're number out both of you" Kirito chuckled, in his hands spawned purple crystal "Cure Asuna!" He yell and I started to fell how my limbs started to move on my commands "We're out level you" he spoke with smile in his face "Thank you Kirito" I thanked and stood up then draw my rappier "Who will be first to challenge me?" few of red players move a little in front "Don't forget there's only 2 of you" I smiled and then made serious battle face, I stood up in fight position, same done Kirito. I dash with my full speed and hit one of them really hard before he could reacht "Who's next?" I asked and few of them jumped back "Boss I think we should retreat" guy in back line suggest, I looked at Kirito and even I got surprised, he fights alone versus two of them in same time with no sweat "Wow" I mutered 'Such person in guild could be handy' after few seconds the all backed "We will meet again commander and swordman, afterwards they just gone in a smoke. When they finnaly gone I sheeted my sword back to my sheet which was on left hip "Good work swordman" he done same thing only on his back "You too Commander" we started walk back to town mostly chatting and sharing what we know about red players guild. We drift apart in center of 26 th floor's main city. I sat on fountain and sign 'Finnaly I'm alone' then I opened menu send short text message to my best friend in Aincrad "I'll come after 20 mins, I have some things to talk about" I walked next to teleportel and yell "Floor 10" in matters of seconds I was teleported to small village with wooden houses.
I came in Blacksmith's shop and sat next to counter, I heard voice from next room "I'm coming" when finnaly blacksmith showed up she look at me with surprised face "Asuna?! What are you doing here? You know It's Saturday and 10 P.M" she probably forget to read message "Did you read my message?" She shook head "No, was something important?" I thought for a sec "Kinda" she sat in front of me "Now tell" I started my story of today. "And then what? Did you ask him for a dinner?" I shook my head "No, we talked more about red players and parted away, anyway I came here for your advice" she got surprised again "Advice? Since when you take advices from me?" I sign "Yeah, but still I want invite a new person in a guild, but I don't know how my guild will reacht about him" to my surprise she answered immediately "If he will help clear game faster, then you should" maybe I should "And what if guild refuse to add him?" She smiled "Since when you listen guild? And I repeat, If this guy help you to clear this game then add him to guild" Lisbeth right If he help clear game faster then I should add him.
