Ch. 3

The girls smiled at me and got up from their chairs. Leafa seemed to notice my thoughts and she smacked the back of my head. I looked back at her, rubbing my head, and she glared. I turned back to the girls slowly and Leafa huffed. She stepped in front of me and introduced me.

"Girls, this is Thorn. I found this ass hat lost in the Sylph Territory. He's only level one so talk to him slowly."

I glared at her but smiled at the first girl who walked over to me. She stuck her hand out and I shook it, happily.

"Hi! I'm Asuna!"

I looked her up and down. She looked like one of the Undine, judging by her hair color of blue. She wore white armor with blue stripes and her class said, "Healer." I nodded at her and then gasped as a little girl came from her pocket.

"What the h-?"

"Mommy, who is this?"

Mommy!? How old is this chick!?

"Yui, this is Thorn. Thorn, this is Yui."

I kind of just waved to the little girl, sitting on Asuna's shoulder, and she grinned. She flew from Asuna to me and stared at me.

"He seems okay."

I laughed nervously and scratched the back of my head. My hand left my head as the second girl came and greeted me. Her race was leprechaun and her class said blacksmith. Her hair was light pink and she had cute freckles that made me melt. She smirked as we shook hands and pointed to her chest.

"I'm Lisbeth and I'm the group's bitch!"

I looked to Leafa and she slowly nodded with her head down.

"What…..do you mean….by group…bitch…?"

She leaned against my hair.

"I mean, if you piss me off I'm gonna pound you to pieces."

My arms formed goose bumps and I backed away. She turned around in her red and white dress and showed me her one-spiked mace on purpose. She pointed at it and then pointed at me. I leaned to Leafa's ear as Lisbeth walked away.

"Geez, what a bitch…"

"Exactly….."

She said with a sigh. The next and final girl was the smallest and cutest of the bunch. And I say cute as in, you would want to pinch her cheeks. She shook my large hand with her petite hand and then packed away.

"I'm Silica and this is Pina."

She said as she pointed to a blue bird behind her. I guess that explains why she is a beast tamer. Silica turned back to me and her cat ears wiggled. I giggled a bit and she giggled as well.

"Do you have a matching tail?"

She nodded and a long brown tail swayed out in front of her. I crouched and poked it about 5 times before she said she was ticklish and I stopped. I stood back up and leafa leaned her arm on my shoulder.

"Thorn here's American, hehe."

The girls "ooo'd" and I blushed.

"How did you know!? And you all look exactly like me!"

Leafa laughed along with the girls, which broke my ego.

"We may look like you but you're still American, which is funny."

I squinted my eyes at her.

"How is that funny? You racist?"

I asked as I pointed at them frantically. They shook their heads and continued to giggle at my embarrassed face.

"No, it's just that American players usually think that they're the best, but most of them really suck. However the ones that don't suck are pretty good but that's about ten of them, haha."

Huh, I thought the game wasn't available in the U.S.A yet. Maybe it's the Americans who live in Japan. Yeah that's it! I took her hand from my shoulder as I talked,

"Well I'm not one of those Americans. I'm going to be one of the strong ones!"

Leafa walked past me to where the other girls were standing.

"How are you gonna do that, huh? You're level 1 and we're like level 80. How do you think that is gonna turn out? All we would basically have to do is kick you in the balls, hehe."

I immediately covered my crotch and backed away.

"Well then help me level up!"

They thought for a moment but then finally nodded. The girls sat back down at the table as if the conversation never happened and sipped on their drink. I glared at them for a few minutes before sitting down next to Asuna. She slid me a drink and I sipped it, gladly. But then I practically choked on it as a thought came to my head. I am the only guy in here. Does that make me the only one in the group!? Aw hell no! Asuna looked at me weird and poked my cheek. I shook out of my thoughts and looked at her.

"Please don't tell me I'm the only guy in the group."

"Who told you, you were in the group?"

I put my head down and pouted. She laughed and patted my back.

"Kidding. Kidding. And no, you're not the only guy in the group. We have like three other guys that hang out with us. Their all pretty cool and I think you will get along with them nicely."

I sighed in relief and leaned back in my chair. At least I had some friends now, thanks to Leafa. I looked over to her and she bent down to get a dropped napkin. I found myself staring at her ass. It was just so….perfect…..What am I thinking!? Never have I been so turned on in a video game. Wait a minute? Have I ever been turned on in a video game? Well maybe win you play Metroid prime and get a game over. Her armor just like blows off and…..whatever! I just have to stop thinking about kinky stuff like that. There is no ass. There is no ass. There is no ass. But there was an ass, and it was right fucking there! The game's even more realistic at how you can get hard, hehe. But that's just a pain sometimes! Maybe there's a button that says, "Cock-blocker." Then I will be fine. She picked up the napkin and sat back down in her chair. Phew! That was way too close.

The front door of the bar suddenly swung open and a guy with red hair came in, smiling. My point of view showed that he was about level 88 and a salamander. He looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five. He plopped himself one of the bar stools and started drinking whatever was sitting right there. I looked at Asuna questioningly and she nodded.

"Klein, this is our new friend, Thorn."

He raised his bottle and I smiled, which meant he approved. A second guy came through the door and gave Asuna a kiss on the cheek. He had one skin tone lesser than mine and had cool dark hair. He had the highest level with 96 and he seemed like he was a Spriggan too. It said he was a swordsman so that must've been the reason why he was so strong. He looked at me with his black eyes and tilted his head.

"Kirito, this is Thorn. He's our new friend."

She grabbed his jacket and leaned close to his ear. She said something I couldn't hear and he started to shiver slightly. She let go of me and he grinned at me. He held his hand out and I shook it firmly.

"Any Spriggan is a friend of mine. In case you haven't noticed, there aren't many."

"Yeah, I got to the Spriggan capital and there were basically like 200 people."

He laughed and sat down next to Asuna. Klein threw him a bottle of some substance, I didn't recognize, and chugged it. Leafa smirked and yelled,

"Thorn's American!"

He choked on his drink and began to cough. I gasped and stood up.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Leafa!"

Kirito started laughing and then slapped my back.

"It's alright, Thorn. And Leafa, if you keep it up, you're gonna be the group's bitch!"

Lisbeth and Leafa started pouting and we both laughed. I finally have some guy friends. I mean the girls are nice but you can't talk to them about guy stuff, if you know what I mean. Kirito and I had talked to each other for about 15 minutes about the monsters and techniques of the game. He seemed like an expert at this kind of thing and I was glad he explained it to me. After that we just kind of talked about normal stuff like school and shit.

"So, you and Asuna?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say we're together."

He said with a blush. I leaned in closer.

"How'd y'all get together?"

He took a sip of his drink.

"It's a long story, Thorn. If it was an anime, it would take at least 25 episodes."

He said with a straight face. I laughed and looked over to Leafa and Lisbeth. They were staring at us and I gave them a weird look. They stuck their tongues out at me but kept staring. For some reason, I found that sexy. Yes I know I'm a 16 year old boy for fuck's sake! I walked over to them and leaned my elbow on the table.

"What are you two staring at?"

Leafa crossed her legs and leaned her chin on her palm.

"You and Kirito."

"Why?"

"Cause we can."

She said with a wink. I felt the blush creep to my cheeks. I slapped them slightly and the girls giggled. I huffed and grabbed Leafa wrist. She gasped and blushed which made me feel more confident in what I was doing. We walked outside of the bar, after waving good-bye to everyone. I let go and turned around to face her.

"Okay, so what's the big idea of yanking me out of the bar?"

"I want you to help me train."

I said with puppy-dog eyes. She closed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"What if I say no, Thorn?"

She asked. I gave her the eyes again and she looked away and groaned.

"Please stop….."

She kept glancing at my adorable face and blushed every time she did. She groaned loudly and grabbed my arm.

"Gah! Fine, let's go!"

I smirked in victory and she led me to a field outside of the city. She made a monster attack us and told me to just attack it with my beginner's swords. I got into a stance and she laughed.

"You better rethink the stance."

She said as the monster dodged my attack and sent me flying into the ground beside Leafa. I groaned from the impact and she helped me up. It only hurt a little bit but the force was still all too real. She dusted the dirt off my shoulders and gave me a look of concern.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, but can you teach me how to do it correctly."

She gave me a gentle smile and nodded. She took the stance with her left hand out and her right hand clutching her sword. I nodded in thought and tried it.

Thorn /==============l==l 18:34

HP: 4500/5000

I took the correct stance as the monster ran toward me. I swung my sword at just the right time and the monster blew to pieces. I got the message:

Congratulations!

Exp: 25

Yrd: 31

I pumped my fist in the air and thanked Leafa. She smiled brightly at me and gave me a high-five.

"See! I knew you could do it!"

"Thank you so much, Leafa! I think I will try again later. But right now I want to tell the others I actually killed something!"

I knew I shouldn't have been this excited over killing one stupid monster but it was like seeing an achievement trophy come up on a PS4. It was fucking great! She nodded and we started our way back to Agil's Bar. I grinned the whole way there but then thought of something.

"Hey Leafa, you never did tell me how you figured out I was American."

"Oh! Hehe, because of your accent!"

I looked at her weird.

"Accent?"

She laughed one more time before we got to the bar.

"Yeah. Your accent is sooooo Alabama!"
