I've added a new character. Enjoy ;)

In the Chiba Residence, Ryunosuke woke up from bed, looking slightly pale, and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Ryu-kun!"

Ryunosuke nearly choked when he took a bite from his food, "W-what is it, Onee-chan?"

A girl with platinum-blonde hair sat across Ryunosuke. She had an incredibly large bust which is on par with Bitch-sensei (Irina Jelavić). She had a beautifully innocent face and is Ryunosuke's 17-year-old cousin, although he refers to her as Onee-chan (Big Sister). She is skilled when it comes to technology and conputers. Although they don't look alike, they do have similar eye color, however, hers is ruby red. Her name is Chiba Yuriko.

"Listen..." Yuriko takes out her tablet and shows it to Ryunosuke, "I found this article on the Internet this morning."

Yuriko shows him the news article about the yesterday's BoB 3 tournament, "And right here..."

-Block F-

-Ryunosuke-

-Sinon-

"G-guess some people have similar names..." Ryunosuke nervously said.

"You can't fool me! You seriously used your first name here!" Yuriko said, "Why don't you use something like "Ryusuke" or something?"

"Onee-chan, you only discarded one syllable there."

Ryunosuke then started remembering about that man in black cloak and wondered why he has the LC tattoo.

"Ryu-kun!" Ryunosuke was snapped out of his thoughts, "You have a scary expression again."

"T-that's not true..."

"Listen, I already know that you started playing the GGO... from Ritsu-chan!"

Ryunosuke spat out his drink, "H-how...!?

"I met her when I was searching through the Internet trying to look for something interesting and found out that you have a computer program as a classmate."

Ryunosuke was in a state of shock to say anything.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." This caused Ryunosuke to sigh in relief.

Ryunosuke was climbing the hill (towards the E-Class building) alone while talking to Ritsu on the phone.

"Ritsu, seriously, you told my cousin that we're classmates?"

"Well, she seems trustworthy so I told her!" Ritsu cheerfully answered.

"Well, I guess. But remember what Karasuma-sensei said: Korosensei is a state secret."

Ritsu saluted, "Roger!"

It's another normal day for Class-E. Korosensei is teaching in Mach 20 speed and some of his written works always involves his tentacles. Bitch-sensei is teaching English whenever one gets a wrong answer, she gives them a kiss in front of everyone, she basically a female perv. Karasuma-sensei is in charge of P. E. which is training for assassination. Chiba managed to act like normal and wasn't suspected by anyone that he's starting to act strange, well, except for Nagisa Shiota, who is always very observant. In dismissal, Chiba left before anyone else. While going down the hill, he was talking to Ritsu.

"Ritsu, how much time is left?" Chiba asked.

"Plenty. You still have a few more hours." Ritsu answered.

"I see..."

"Where are you going, Chiba-kun?" Ritsu asked, "You've been walking for an hour.

Chiba didn't respond and just stopped in front of an hospital.

Ritsu tilted her head in confusion.

"Someone I know works here." Chiba said while entering the building.

Chiba was sitting on a hospital bed, staring and doing nothing.

A woman with brown braided hair wearing a white uniform noticed this and slightly kicked Chiba's knee, "What's wrong, kiddo?"

"A-Aki-san.."

She is Aki Natsuki. She and Chiba met when he came here for checkup two years ago during the SAO incident. They became acquainted since then.

"You have a scary look on your face." She sits down besides him.

"I-it's nothing..."

"This is your chance to get free counseling from a hot nurse. Tell me what's going on with you."

"It wouldn't be right to refuse an offer like that, would it?"

Chiba then had a serious expression, "Aki-san, before you moved to rehab, you were in surgery, right?"

"That's right."

"Um, this is... This is a really rude and insensitive question." He turns to her, "But how much do you remember about the patients who died?"

"Let me see... If I try to remember, I can recall their names and faces. Even the patients I was only in the operating room with for an hour... Yeah, I remember them."

"Have you ever wanted to forget?" Chiba asked.

"Let me see. I don't know if this is an answer... But I think that if it's something you're meant to forget, you will. Without even thinking that you want to forget. Because you know... The more times you think you want to forget, the stronger those memories become, right? So doesn't that mean that, deep in your subconscious, you think you really shouldn't forget them?"

"... A year ago, I saw people dying. I watched them dying without even doing anything right in front of my eyes. Ever since I got sent to E-Class, I completely forgot about them. Even though they are criminals, they're still human beings. Is it so easy for someone to take a life just like that?"

Aki comforted him before he could say anything else, "Chiba-kun, I'm sorry. I told you I'd be your counselor, but I can't take away your burden or carry it with you. I'm not sure what exactly happened... But I'm sure it only happened so suddenly. In medicine, there are times when you must pick who lives and who dies. You have the right to save yourself. Save yourself from that burden you hold."

"... The right to save myself?" Chiba started to have tears in his eyes, "But... But I... I did nothing! I did nothing to even help them! I just let them die on the ground without even doing anything! That's why I don't have the right to be saved-

Aki hugged Chiba tightly, "If you'd really forgotten, you wouldn't suffer so much."

A red balloon flew pass by the window.

"You remember them. When the time comes to remember everything, you will. And when that happens, you have to remember that it wasn't your fault."

Chiba's phone lit up and Ritsu puts on a smiling face.

After calming down, Aki put some chords on him.

"Um... Thanks for earlier."

"It was nothing!"

"I don't think anything will happen until after 8:00. But I'll be back at 10:00." Chiba said as he lied down the bed, "All right, see you later."

"Okay, see you later, Ryunosuke-kun." She bid with a smile.

Chiba was startled in annoyance by that and closed his eyes, "Link start!"

-BoB Main Tournament-

-Starts: 42 Minutes-

Sinon went inside the waiting room and sighed, she then saw Ryunosuke and they faced each other.

"Today, I won't lose!" Sinon declared.

"Neither will I." Ryunosuke replied with a smile.

Sorry if Sinon didn't get most of the screen time.
