"Not bad for your first time in a fight. You lost a little too much health Iris but you and Athanatos both gained three levels in one fight so I guess it's okay, especially since your health automatically replenishes when you level up." Mia said clapping when a panting Iris and a slightly winded Athanatos took out the last of the five monsters Mia had rounded up for them to fight.
"Now you two will probably try to kill me for this but those weren't level one monsters you just fought. They were roughly level seven. You wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for your strategy and upgraded equipment." Mia said smirking as the two looked at her shocked, causing her to snicker.
"You could have gotten us killed!" Athanatos said giving Mia a glare while Mia merely shook her head.
"Nah. I wouldn't have let that happen. I only bought you two out here so you could level up and get stronger quicker, that way there's less chance of you two getting your butts kicked by any monster back at the Town of Beginnings. If your health got too low I would have stepped in and eradicated the five monsters in an instant." Mia said calmly and causing the two to look at her.
"These monsters are pretty weak so I can kill each of them in a single strike, that's why I stayed out of it but stayed close by. My speed would have gotten me to the center of their group in less than ten seconds and at the center of the group I could destroy them all in one swing of my glaive." Mia continued on casually causing the two teachers to look at her in disbelief.
"What level are you Bloo-erm Mia?" Iris asked catching herself quickly before she said the wrong name. This was taking some getting used to.
"Twenty four, made it all the way up to floor 17 before the game was released to the public. I would have been able to save you both if something happened on this level easily. So don't worry so much!" Mia said grinning at them before the monsters respawned, causing Iris and Athanatos to tense slightly in preparation of a fight. A red blur flew between the two though, causing them to jump startled as the five monsters around them were destroyed in less time than they respawned.
"Because these monsters are pushovers compared to the ones on the higher floors." Mia said as she rested her glaive against her shoulder again, standing in the center of where the five monsters had been just a moment or two ago.
"So until the two of you get the hang of it and can defeat these monsters easily…I'll protect you both." Mia said smiling at them over her shoulder before a commotion a little ways away caught her attention.
"Oi Kirito! You helping out a newbie too?" Mia yelled from the meadowy cliff the three females were on as she looked down the side of the cliff and saw someone familiar training with someone who she hadn't seen before. Both of the boys looked up and the black haired one waved while the red haired one blushed slightly.
"Hey Mia! Yeah! He asked for some tips so I thought I'd give him a hand. What about you? Why are you on this floor instead of one of the higher up ones?" The black haired boy yelled back up at her.
"Found some people I know from IRL who entered the game on a dare from a friend of theirs but didn't have a clue what to do. Thought I'd bring them out here to help them level up and figure things out, after getting some better equipment of course." Mia called as Iris and Athanatos joined her at the cliffs edge and looked down at the two boys curiously.
"But it's only level six and seven monsters up there! When you were showing me around during the Beta Testing you took me up to the level ten monsters straight off the bat to get some XP!" The black haired boy said glaring slightly at Mia who grinned cheekily at him.
"That's cause you at least knew the basics of MMO RPG games, these two didn't know anything about playing the game so I thought it'd be best if I started them off small. Mind if we come down there to talk? It's a pain to shout the whole time!" Mia yelled causing the boy to nod in acceptance of that.
"Sure come on down already! There's something up with the logout option!" The boy yelled back causing Mia to grin.
"Okay you two. Hold on tight!" Mia said grabbing the two teachers and jumping off the cliff, much to the three non-Beta testers disbelief and shock.
"You're insane!" Iris yelled at the top of her lungs as she clutched Mia and Athanatos tightly.
"Thank you!" Mia said grinning before the bell chimed in the distance.
"What the hell?" The red haired boy asked as the group suddenly appeared in the center of the town, Mia still falling to the ground with Athanatos and Iris in her arms.
"Someone forced a teleport. You okay there Mia?" Kirito asked looking at Mia who had landed next to him on her feet easily, setting down the obviously shaken Iris and Athanatos.
"Yeah, that was fun though. I'll have to do that again later. Now any clue what's going on-" Mia was cut off when the red haired boy suddenly pointed up at the sky where a red message popped up, several others joining it until the whole sky was covered with red.
"I've seen some freaky shit but that almost takes the cake." Mia said staring as the game master appeared, Iris and Athanatos probably not realizing it but they automatically assumed defensive positions and stayed close to Mia as the creator of the game appeared.
"Damnitt. This isn't going to end well." Mia said glaring when the Game Master mentioned about how they could all die if someone tried to remove their nerve Gear…or if they were killed in the game, proving that by showing how 200 players had already been killed.
"Don't worry you two. Earlier I said I'd protect you…and I mean that. You two aren't going to die on my watch." Mia said reassuringly to Iris and Athanatos who were looking shocked and a bit panicked at hearing that if they died in the game they died in real life too.
"A mirror?" Bloom asked looking at her reflection in the item that the Game Master had deposited in her Item Storage…before she could react everyone in the court yard started changing.
"Are you alright Bl-Mia?" Iris asked as soon as the light faded and everyone began looking around.
"Yeah I'm fine. What about you, Iris? Athanatos? Kirito?" Bloom asked shaking her head and quickly looking around only to stop and stare at Athanatos.
"I'm me instead of my avatar!" Athanatos said as everyone began to stare at her long silver hair and her lavender eyes covered by wire rimmed glasses, she even had her usual red and violet ensemble on under her armor! Hell even her red wide brimmed hat was on her head!
"Me too! They even got my dress the same." Iris said looking down at herself when she noticed that she was different too, under her lightweight armor Mia had bought for her she was wearing her usual sailor like dress. A quick touch to her face meant that she had her glasses back too, which was a bit of a relief for her.
"That makes three of us then, although my outfit is the same as my avatars." The black haired boy, Kirito, said looking at himself in the mirror again.
"Yep I'm definitely me again…but what was the point of this? So that no one could lie about who they are…or is it something else?" Mia wondered as she noted that her flame red hair hadn't changed any, except for growing a few inches longer, while her blue eyes were just like they were in real life again. Hell she was even wearing the outfit she had been wearing in real life! Quite a few heads were turning in her direction so that everyone could get a look at the beautiful red haired girl in the black tank top that exposed her stomach, her black skirt that ended at her knees, and her black and red high heeled pumps. Bloom had only one thing to say at all the looks she was getting.
"Oh yeah…forgot I had planned to go to a mostly gothic rock party later…"
