"Why do you think only our outfits changed?" Athanatos asked Mia and Iris curiously just after the game master had left and the barrier came down.
"Probably our magic interfering with the game system slightly. Just because we can't use magic in the game doesn't mean it doesn't affect our bodies…besides the game is based on the nervous system in your mind and body, so if our magic is affecting our mind then it's affecting us here too." Mia said quietly as she grabbed Kirito and his friend just before they left.
"Kirito, remember those Guide Books that the Beta Testers were given at the start of the trial run?" Mia asked causing the black haired boy to nod.
"Good. Now instead of thinking only of ourselves and heading to the next town or two let's start handing those Guide Books out. The more people that survive the better." Mia said causing Kirito to blink at her for a moment before he nodded, he hadn't even thought of helping the other players…he just thought of surviving.
"Here I'll start with giving you three a Guide Book each. You can hurry out to the fields and try to kill some of the weaker monsters together to gain experience but be careful not to get injured." Mia said causing the three to look at each other and blink slightly as they were each handed a book.
"We're already level six so we'll be fine for a little bit. We'll help you hand these out Bl-Mia. Man that's hard to get used to." Iris said after she and Athanatos seemed to have a conversation with their eyes.
"I've got some friends of mine in the plaza so I gotta find them before I do anything else." The red haired boy said causing the others to nod as he took off to look for his friends.
"I'll help you pass out tips and books." Kirito said after a moment as he walked into the plaza, handing a Guide Book to every player he saw.
"Give us some books and we'll start passing them out too. Those healing crystals we got from the monsters would be good to hand out to the weaker leveled players too." Athanatos said idly, causing Mia to nod slightly.
"Alright then here. That's roughly thirty books and forty of my healing crystals each. Start handing them out. One book and two crystals per player, come find me when you run out and I'll transfer some more to your item storage. Whatever you two do don't leave the Plaza…here. Accept this invite. That way I'll be able to find both of you no matter what, and if something happens then send me a message and I'll be beside you in a few seconds." Mia said rapidly pressing buttons on the air in front of her, causing the two to give her shocked looks but accept the party invite anyways. With one last nod to each other the three took off into the throngs of players, handing out a book and two crystals to each person they ran across. They mentally marked the people that they gave the crystals and books too so that they didn't accidentally give them more than they meant too.
It took a few hours, and Mia replenishing Iris's and Athanatos's crystals and books, before they managed to give every player at least one book and two crystals. Thankfully some other beta testers had helped out as well, which was why they were able to give everyone some crystals. There was no way Mia had close to 3 million crystals on her own, but pooling all their crystals together gave them just enough to ensure everyone had at least one or two crystals extra.
"That was a good idea Mia! I never would have thought to hand out crystals and guides to all the players." A brown haired woman holding a sword and shield said sighing as the Beta testers and a few random players were the only ones left in the plaza at the end of five to six hours. Most of the players headed for the fields to get more experience and coal, the fields around the town must be picked clean ten times over by now.
"Thanks Griselda. I just did what was right. Now all those players have a higher chance of surviving this damn game till someone clears level 100." Mia said sighing as she relaxed against the fountain, resting her head in Iris's lap where she and Athanatos were playing with Mia's hair.
"Oh before I forget. Griselda, meet Iris and Athanatos. Iris, Athanatos, Griselda here was a Beta tester along with me, Kirito, and a couple of hundred others. Most of those handing out the Guide books and crystals alongside us four were Beta testers too, but a couple ignored the others and just headed to another town to save themselves. Griselda, Iris here was a bit peeved at you earlier." Mia said her lips twitching in amusement while Iris looked at the woman who had stolen her name inside of the game.
"Why? Did I hit her by accident when handing out books and crystals?" Griselda asked relaxing against the fountain as well as she looked at Iris curiously while Athanatos was stifling a giggle behind one hand.
"Nah. Her name out in the real world is Griselda, and she tried to use it as her game name too but…" Mia trailed off with a smirk while Griselda's eyes widened slightly.
"I got to it first, sorry about that Iris. I didn't think there was anyone actually named Griselda, much less anyone going to use their real name in a game, so I picked it at random." Griselda said sheepishly as she looked at Iris.
"It's alright. Using my real name in the game does sound a bit stupid anyways. That's why when my name was already taken I took Athanatos's first name out in the real world." Iris said with a small smirk as she jabbed a thumb at Athanatos who merely chuckled at this.
"Yes and I picked a random Latin word for my game name, just as Mia did. Athanatos is immortal in Latin. Mia-Fiamma is Latin for dancing flame." Athanatos explained causing Griselda to snort slightly.
"Yeah that sounds like it fits Mia just fine then. I don't know how but even without magic being a part of the game, she's still immune to fire monsters and attacks. Plus anytime she gets an item dropped from a fire monster, it's twice as strong for her than it is for anyone else!" Griselda said giving Mia a playful glare that caused Mia to stick her tongue out at the brown haired swordswoman.
"How do you do that Mia?" Iris asked looking down at her student curiously and earning a cheeky grin in response. Her answer caused Iris to nearly face-plant while Athanatos laughed and Griselda face-palmed.
"A well-kept secret Iris. Magic!"
