So yeah, after that last chapter we met one of our OCS. Like I said in the beginning, this story does connect to Awakening a hero. Thought how is the real question, how, but I'm not going to tell you yet.

Chapter 6

The New Kid

I slid into my desk, and placed my bag on the ground. Pulling out a book, I waited for class to start. We had minutes left,

"Oooh, I'm on time," Spit hopped into his chair.

"You had ten minutes left," I pointed out.

"Really?, My watch said a minute left," Spit looked at his watch.

"That's because you're wearing it upside down," Valkyrie came in and sat in her own desk.

"How does work? 9:15 is 6:51 upside?" Spit pointed out.

"Weren't you screaming last night that you were done trying to fix the watch?" I didn't look up from my book.

"Right. God fucking damn it this watch," Spit flipped his watch so it was right side up, and started to mess with it.

"Spit, that's a half hour of detention, " Our teacher spoke up from his desk.

"Oh come on," Spit looked at our teacher surprised.

"Wanna make a full hour?" The teacher looked at Spit.

"No," Spit lowered his head.

"Serves you right, idiot," Valkyrie whispered under her breath.

Soon more of our classmates came into class as the minutes went by. I closed my book, and pulled out the textbook for our class.

"Students, I have an special announcement. We will be getting a new student today," The teacher looked at us. A new student, how is that possible? This is a school for SAO survivors, to help them catch up with the two years they lost. Plus all of the SAO survivors woke up by a least a year ago, so whoever it is, can't be one of the three hundred who got stuck in the game, because of that asshole Sugou. I wasn't the only who was surprised. Several members of the class started to murmur to themselves. Only Valkyrie, and Spit. They just seem confused.

"Of course its strange. She should have be here already. The principal said she was joining our class today?" Teach looked around, confused.

"Sorry I'm late," The door started to open, and that girl from before walked in. "Got a bit lost."

"No worries, its your first day. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" Teach looked at her.

"Ok. I'm Asada Shino," She faced us, and bowed.

"Now where to put you," Teach looked at his seating chart.

"Professor Sinbad, there's an open seat behind me," I spoke up. There was, from the beginning of class nobody sat beside me.

"Ok, Asada, why don't you go seat by Ron." nodded with the fact that he had found a spot. Asada went by and sat in the desk behind me. "Now everyone open your textbook, and read chapter 7,"

"You got the textbook?" I whispered to her, when she looked kinda panicked about reading the textbook.

"No, I don't have my textbook,I didn't know what the supplies were. the jump was kind of sudden," She sighed.

"Here, we can share," I placed my textbook in between our desks, and twisted, so I was facing sideways.

"Thanks," She looked at me confused.

"Tell me, when to flip the page. I tend to read fast," I stated to her.

"Will do," She still looking at me weird. We starting read, and never noticed that we were sharing a book. Or if he did, he didn't speak up about it. He's a cool teacher. If you don't pay attention, he takes that you already get the story. Anyways once we finished our reading, he asked us about the reading. The questions were what was Baldur immune to. Then he went into the powerpoint of the whole story. You know with Loki getting him killed by using mistletoe, the one he wasn't immune to. Loki gave Hodr the dart, and he guided it, so Baldur would die. The bell rang just then,

"We will finish this tomorrow," told us.

I stood up, pulling out my phone, placing my headphones in, and hit play. I went towards the door, holding it open as the class left in droves. Then it stopped, and I looked to my right. Asada held the edge of the door. I slid a headphone out, it looked she was talking to me.

"You can go through," Asada looked at me.

"So can you. Go, I have no issues holding the door for a few more seconds," I turned back to looking out the door. I put my headphone back in, and the conversation was over. She slipped right out the door, and I followed her out. She was looking at some piece of paper, and all the signs.

"You need some help," I removed my headphones.

"Yeah, where's the study hall room," She sighed, looking at me.

"Follow me. That's my next class," I didn't bother to put in my headphones. I had someone who might to talk to me.

"Thanks, " She followed me, but something in her voice sounded so uncertain, like she was surprised I was being so nice.

"No problem, I'm happy to help," I turned back and smiled at her. "It in the cafeteria by the way,"

"Huh?" She looked at me surprised.

"Study hall. Its a in a corner of the cafeteria," I faced forward.

"It that so?" She pushed her glasses up a little bit. You know something's up with her lenses. They seem off.

"Yup," We should reach the cafeteria soon. Ah there is right, right around the corner. I stopped in front of the table. "Here we are,"

"I see," Asada looked around, most of the tables were filled.

"Wanna sit with me?" I moved towards a wall at the end. "I'll be reading my book, so you can work without anyone disturbing you. Also since I'm the only one sitting there, you have plenty of room to work,"

"Ok," She looked at me surprised.

"Alright," I sat in the seat facing the wall, and took my book out getting lost into the pages of heroes and adventure. Nothing really different happened in class. No new classmates in Math, English, or didn't know why Asada get transferred in here. Oh yeah, I got to talk to Valkyrie . Figure I at least check what Noah dude was talking about. Whatever I'll ask her at lunch. Thankful its my next thing in my day. I grabbed my food, and sat down at the table. Hopefully they don't have to do a boss raid conversation today. I know the Floor 17th boss was already found, and people tested him, but do we really have to talk about it right now. Where's my book. I going to do some reading. Also where's my headphones. Wait, right jacket pocket. Let's go shuffle and see what I get. We found love by Rihanna. Forgot I got that song.

"Good book?" I looked up and saw Asada looking at me. I looked around noticing the gamer were on the table. I removed my headphone and I could hear they were going talking about a boss raid.

"Yeah," I only shrugged.

"What is it?" Asada looked at me.

"Heroes of Olympus: House of Hades," I moved the book, so she could see the cover.

"Ron, did you hear what I said?" Valkyrie turned to face me.

"You were talking about the boss raid right?" I looked at her.

"Yes," She nodded, and rolled her shoulders.

"Well isn't he just a dps race. So we split the forty-nine players into seven raid groups. Three tanks, and healers. Tanks have to have as much aggro and damage absorption bluffs they can have to be able to massive AOE heal. The rest will be dps. We would benefit using players with Class skill spells of Necromancer, Warlock, any of the Elemental mages, Hunters, Summoners, Chronomancer," I pointed out. DPS races, where you have to kill the boss as possible, before you get killed. SAO didn't have anything like that. Maybe because while SAO was a death game, it didn't mean you were guaranteed to die. You only died if you got really unlucky, or you just didn't play the game. Zero said Ysmir was changing some of the bosses and adding new styles of bosses to keep it fresh. Didn't want to us to do the same story over. Of course now that dying isn't an issue, its great the bosses are stronger.

"Makes sense," Valkyrie nodded and turned away understanding what I meant. See all those classes I said, had add bonus spell that allow you to summon backup. Hunters have the Pet Call spell. Summoners focus on summoning. Necromancers work with raising dead, plus have they have the material corpse dust, so even without any dead mobs, a good necromancer can summon an undead for a least a couple of minutes. Warlocks have spells for calling various demons forth. Elemental mages have their type elementals. The only one on that list that doesn't have a pet feature is Chronomancer class spells, but they got something else. They're time mages. So just like my time magic, they'll slow you down, or speed you up. The only thing I wished was I had the Star Knight class spell. With the patch that added the remaining floors of New Aincrad, they also added seven more class skill quest under the name of the Legendary Fairy Swordsman classes. The Star Knight, The Valkyrie Queen, The Dusk Knight, The Archsage, The Gladiator King, The Shadow, and The Ranger lord. I saw the notes for the Star Knight. The spells are powerful. Starfall Black Hole Star explosion Star Wave, that just some of the spells, and they do massive damage with almost no cast time. Its the most powerful of the Legendary Fairy Swordman class skill spell. Zero also said Star Knight would be found in the floors between one and twenty-five. I've been searching through all of them as I can, every spot. I've talked to every info broker, checked every site, messaged everyone I know, scanned ever message board. Checked those free information sites. Even the wiki. Nobody has seen it. I will find it. Huh? the bell ringing, lunch is over.

"Wait lunch is over, but I thought we still had fifteen minutes," Spit looked at his watch.

"You still haven't fixed it yet?" Valkyrie pointed out.

"No," Spit shrugged, and went back to tinkering with his watch.

"Valkyrie, Spellcaster, that reminds me. After the last boss raid, after some random player attacked me, I got saved by some undine, calling himself Noah. Acted like he knew me. Talked about how he knew me from Fire emblem Awakening." I took the watch from Spit, and started to fix the time for him.

"Well -," Spellcaster started to say

"No, sorry, doesn't ring any bells," Valkyrie interrupted Spellcaster before she could get a second word. "Maybe he was just some crazy LARPer," Spellcaster looked to Valkyrie back to me, confused Valkyrie just glared and mouthed something to her. I don't read lips.. I also noticed some blonde kid was looking at me, and Valkyrie utterly confused, like he was just shocked.

"Yeah, crazy LARPer," Spellcaster nodded in approval. The blonde kid was giving Spellcaster some kind of deathglare. She just turned around, and gave her own. The kid walked away. No one blyads with Spellcaster.

"Whatever," I ran off to my next class, putting that Noah dude out of my mind. I started to think about other locations that the Star Knight quest would be.

Author's Notice: Yes Valkyrie has been revealed to be Erin, and Spellcaster was Dusty. Not sure if that wasn't exactly easy to tell, but here is your yes I'm being serious. That teacher's name will be Sinbad. Why because its funny. Also why Ron called him Professor Sinbad. That's all I have to say for this chapter.
