Thanks for the reviews. I added some places that weren't in the anime of SAO. Assassination Classroom also has a few parodies, right?


-Ryunosuke's POV-

We managed to arrived at the governor's office thanks to the buggy I rented.

I checked my watch "It's 14:55."

"We can still make it!" she said as she gets off her seat "This way!"

She grabbed my hand and we bolted to the building.

When we made our way to the building, I was amazed at the shear size of the building and the holographic projections advertising the tournament.

"Come on." She said as she dragged me, while still holding my hand, towards the registration booths. As we were walkingm I glanced around at the other competitors.

"...This is a gun tournament. Is Death Gun here?" I wondered.

"Here."

"Huh?"

"You can enter the tournament here. It's a normal touch panel terminal. Do you know how to use it?" She asks.

"Yeah, I'll try it." I answered.

"I'll be right next to you, so if you need any help, ask me." She said as she goes to the booth next to mine.

"Thank you." I thanked her. I took a look at the terminal.

Bullet of Bullets 3

Qualifier Entry

I touched the "ENTRY" panel.

User Information

Name

Address

Phone Number

"Eh?"

Ryunosuke

Male

About my username. I couldn't think of any names so instead I just used my first name. I once thought about it and talked to Kikuoka-san. He said that it's okay for me to put my first name. I also saw a warning.

Attention:

Please input your real name and address.

You may leave this blank or enter false

information, but you will be ineligible

for top-ranking prizes.

I typed my information in the blanks and touched the "Y" panel, finishing my registration.

"Are you finished?" She asks.

"Uh-huh. Thank you so much for your help."

"It's fine. It was kind of fun, riding in that buggy. Anyway, which qualifier block did you get?"

"Um..." I checked the terminal "Block F... F-37."

"Oh, I see. I'm in Block F, too. Maybe because we signed up at the same time." She looks at hee registration terminal "I'm 12, which means... Good. Even if I run into you, it'll be in the finals."

"What's good?" I asked.

"As long as you make it to the final battle of the qualifiers, you can participate in the battle royale in the main tournament." She explains "So it's possible we could both get to the main tournament."

"But if I do see you in the finals, even if it's a qualifier... I won't go easy on you." She says with a serious look, which made me nervous.

"I understand. Of course. If that happens, let's both fight as hard as we can." I said to her, mimicking her serious expression.


(In Japanese)

Entry for the Bullet of Bullets 3

Qualifying Tournament

is now closed.

"For a foreign game, the Japanese on this is pretty good..." I commented "The official site was only in English."

"The company that operates it, Zaskar, is American, but Japanese staff is assigned to the server for Japan." She explains "But you know, GGO is in kind of a legal gray zone, in both Japan and America."

"Because of the real money-conversion system?"

"The official page has only minimal information. You can only manage your character, access the e-money accounts you need for currency conversion, or do most anything game-related inside the game itself."

"It's, well... It's amazing." I said.

"That's why it's almost entirely cut off from the real world. Because of that, it feels like the real me and the me that exists here are two different people."

I noticed that she seems spaced out.

"It's nothing, sorry." She said. She must've noticed that I was worried "We need to get to the tournament-qualifier area. Are you ready?"

"Yeah." I agreed.

"That's it." She points at one of the doors "It's down there."


We got off the elevator and entered the area, only to find it filled with shady competitors, most of which having their guns taken out, it makes me feel nervous.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"We need to go to the waiting room. You need to equip the combat suit you bought." She said.

"Ah, right." I almost forgot about that.

Remaining Time: 28 Minutes

We were going towards the waiting room. As we walked, I keep seeing people showing off their guns. I think they shouldn't do that, because the other competitors might take advantage of them if they knew about their weapons before the event.

"Go find the male's changing room." She said as we walked in the hallway.

"Eh?"

She immediately left after saying that. Well, there's thirty minutes left so she must be trying to get ready.

... Wait. I haven't asked her about where's the changing room!

I tried to find her but I can't tell which room she went since all of the doors are the same!

I wandered for a few minutes but eventually stopped at a door that seems like there's no one inside. I opened the door and... I saw her in her undergarments.

"W-what in the world are you doing here...!?" She asks in embarassment.

"I-I sorry!" I bowed in embarassment and I wasn't able to look up and there was a moment of silence.

...

I started to look up a little and flinched when I saw her glaring at me with her face extremely red and while still in her underwear.

"Pervert!"

*SMACK*


-Someone's POV-

After exiting the changing room, The girl walked through the waiting room with an angry look, while Ryunosuke proceeded with the slap mark still on his face. Ryunosuke wore a black equipment which looks like a long black leather coat. He also wore a black scarf around his neck

"Such Misfortune..." Ryunosuke thought.

The girl immediately changed her direction and started to walk faster "Don't follow me."

"I told you, that was just an accident!" Ryunosuke said while still following her "I haven't asked you about the male's changing room's location and all of the doors are the same."

"Sigh..."

The two moved to an empty table where the space there doesn't have much competitors. Ryunosuke looked at the time.

Remaining Time: 10 Minutes

"I'll explain the bare minimum." She finally spoke up "After that, we're enemies, got it?"

"T-thank you." Ryunosuke thanked her. He knew that she's probably still angry about what happened.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I haven't forgiven you." Yep. She's still mad about that unfortunate moment.

"Once that countdown hits 0, all the entrants here will be automatically transferred to a battlefield (Remaining Time: 09 Minutes) containing them and their first-round opponent." She explains.

"O-okay..."

"The field is a one-kilometer square region. The terrain, weather, and time are random. You'll start a minimum of five hundred meters apart, and once the match ends, the winner is sent back here. The loser is sent to the first-floor hall. If you lose, there aren't any random equipment drops. In Block F, there are sixty-four people. So five victories takes you to the finals, and gives you the right to enter the main tournament." She crosses her arms "I won't explain further or answer any questions."

"I think I've got it. Thanks."

She briefly looks at Ryunosuke "You'd better make to the finals. I've taught you so much, and I want to teach you one last thing."

"One last thing?"

"The taste of the bullet that means defeat."

There was a moment of silence

"I'll look forward to the that." Ryunosuke said "But what about you?"

"If I wash out in the qualifiers, I'm retiring." She answered "This time..."

"This time... I will kill all the strong ones." She then had a slightly sadistic smile.

Ryunosuke flinched at the moment but he realized that he doesn't sense any bloodlust. He knew that she doesn't like killing "Nope. She's not Death Gun."

"This will be the last time we talk like this, so I'll give you my name. It's the name of the one who will someday defeat you." She shows her player information to Ryunosuke.

Sinon

Female

"Sinon."

"Oh yeah, I still haven't shown my information." Ryunosuke then shows his player information to Sinon.

Ryunosuke

Male

Someone suddenly approaches Sinon "Hey. You're late, Sinon. I was worried you wouldn't make it.

He has a tall skinny body with long, silver hair.

"Hi, Spiegel. I got caught up in something unexpected." Sinon said "But... didn't you say you weren't going to enter?" She scoots a little and Spiegel takes a sit.

"I thought it might be a pain, but I came to cheer you on. You can watch the match on a big screen here." Spiegel answered "By the way, what did you mean by 'something unexpected'?"

"I was showing that person the way here." Sinon answered, looking at Ryunosuke.

"H-hi, I'm that person. My name's Ryunosuke."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Spiegel." Spiegel introduced himself "Are you a beginner?"

"Uh-huh. I went to a good start thanks to her." Ryunosuke said, smiling.

"I see. Well, that's good to hear. Good luck, by the way." Spiegel said.

A computer voice is heard.

"The Bullet of Bullets 3 Qualifying Tournament will now begin. After the countdown, all players who have entered the tournament will be automatically transported to the first-round field map. Good Luck."

The competitors went wild, some started shooting some guns.

"Go for it, Sinon!" Spiegel encouraged her.

"Thanks." Sinon stands up and points at Ryunosuke "Get to the finals! I'll kick your butt there!"

"S-sure..." Ryunosuke stands up and leaves the table. He briefly looked at Spiegel "Something's not right about that Spiegel guy. Is it just my imagination?

Ryunosuke then disappeared. He was taken to the preparation area.

Ryunosuke vs Uemaru (In Japanese)

Remaining Time: 56 Seconds

Field: Lost Ancient Temple

Ryunosuke opened his menu and saw something strange.

"Huh? Why do I have three weapon slots?" Ryunosuke wondered but realized that the time is running out and immediately equipped the weapons he bought.

The countdown now hits 0.
