***
The night that was filled with debauchery under the full moon that had risen and fallen, giving rise to the sun.
Sunlight broke through the window within a certain room in Yama Inn, disturbing the rest of a certain woman laying weakly on the chest of a slim and muscular young man.
"Mm… stupid sun..." groaned Rosalia as she lifted her hand weakly to keep the sunlight from touching her eyes.
"..."
After holding up her hand for only 10 seconds, Rosalia could do nothing but sigh before getting up and closing the curtains. Just as she was about to jump back onto Sora's chest and sleep, she saw the bed empty.
"What?"
Shocked, Rosalia looked around in search of Sora who had disappeared from the bed. She turned around and found Sora standing right behind her with his armor on and his spear on his back.
"Let's go, I have someone to teach today," said Sora before shoving Rosalia's clothes and armor to her.
"Ah…? Uhmm… okay."
Putting on her clothes, Rosalia was rather depressed at not being able to spend some more time with Sora on the bed. Her cheeks flushed as she finished putting on her clothes, armor, and accessories.
With a sigh, Rosalia stood up and kept her spear in her inventory before turning to Sora with a smile.
Sora headed straight for the door after nodding at Rosalia. She jumped on his back and wrapped her legs around his waist as they left Yama Inn, heading straight to the first floor, [Myriad Paths] Dojo.
Lisbeth and Asuna were both already at the dojo, waiting for Sora guide Lisbeth in her blacksmithing.
…
Four months passed in the blink of an eye, the players finally arrived at the 20th floor and they had all become experts in their weapons and fields.
All of Sora's skills had been maxed out, even the newly acquired skills.
Astronomy Skill.
Fishing Skill.
Mechanical Skill.
Thief Skill.
Sneaking Skill.
Shield Skill.
During the four months, Sora had trained all his disciples hard and just last month, he let them all leave to level up. All of his disciples quickly jumped in power and in the player rankings as they leveled up at rapid speeds and completed their training in their breathing technique.
The only ones that had stayed behind were the top 10 of all 100 disciples of his.
Asuna, Kirito, Lisbeth, Rosalia, Princess, Silica, and five other amazing female disciples.
All the other disciples of Sora's all went gathering their own disciples after Sora told them about the Mentor Skill. He had them all go and gather their own disciples, to teach them and expand the teachings of Sora.
Of course, they would only be teaching what they had learned, meaning that they could only pass down the Basic Sword Technique, their breathing technique, and their personal sword technique.
With the help of Sora's 90 disciples, they quickly helped the frontline to subjugate many monsters and field bosses in an instant after they caught up in level to the rest.
The group of 90 grouped up together, still in Sora's [Limitless Sky] guild, and performed the many formations Sora had taught them to take down Field Bosses in an instant.
Every single disciple the group of 90 accepted, would automatically be accepted into the [Limitless Sky] guild.
Soon, the guild of only 101 people, skyrocketed past the 500 thousands. Especially after the 19th floor was cleared and the 20th floor was opened, unlocking the Guild War function. With all the stockpiled [Declaration of War] scrolls, every player within [Limitless Sky] challenged multiple guilds at once.
However, they were all quickly taken down by [Limitless Sky] with little to no loss of players during the war. Those that did die during the Guild War were quickly put to train even harder.
With a massive movement happening within Sword Art Online, many guilds appeared from nowhere and began to rise up like [Limitless Sky].
The instigator of this event? Currently unlocking many Unique and Hidden Skills.
After Sora began helping in the creation of the game, he was baffled at the lack of Unique Skills. So, with his managnamousity, Sora bestowed the game with many more Unique Skills that can be obtained through many ways and requirements.
Hidden Skills were the same deal.
Unlike Unique Skills which can only be held by one player, Sora decided to add in nearly an unlimited amount of Hidden Skills into the game. Every single normal skill within SAO would receive an upgraded version, or weaponized version, of the skill depending on the skills and the level of the skills they have.
Like the
There are many skills just like it, like the…
These were all just a small, tiny, portion of the nearly unlimited skills they are in Sword Art Online. And Sora unlocked all that could possibly be unlocked with his skills. He quickly equipped all and also the Dual Blades, Infinite Spear, Qigong Master, Mystery Bow, and Puppet Master.
The
And the
"Ahhh~" sighed Sora in content as he appeared in front of his 10 disciples.
"What is it, master?" coquettishly asked Rosalia as she stood up and walked over to Sora.
"I can finally go back to fighting! Waiting all these 8 months was so tiring," said Sora as he walked in front of his 10 disciples.
"WHAT!?"
All of Sora's disciples, except Rosalia, all yelled out in shock.
They looked at Sora with an unbelievable gaze, not being able to accept the fact that Sora was a player like them this whole time.
Especially the woman, all fantasizing about Sora and cursing the developers so much that they wouldn't be able to reincarnate and die peacefully.
Asuna and Lisbeth looked at each other with glittering eyes, however, when they turned back to look at Sora, they saw Rosalia on his back. She was massaging Sora with a light smile on her back before glancing at Asuna, Lisbeth and the other female disciples with a look of contempt.
Damn!
Sora rubbed his chin and continued, "So, after I taught you all for one more month than the others, you are all ready to enter the world without fear. You can all perfectly clear Aincrad and it's 100 floors solo with enough skill and strength."
"So we're disbanding now?" asked Silica with worry.
"No." Sora shook his head, "I'm leaving to fight against the monsters and the bosses. You are all going separate ways as well, or together with each other, whichever one you prefer."
"Can we follow you, Master?" asked Asuna with some hope.
"No."
Sora's disciples quickly lowered their heads in disappointment as they all felt regret at not being able to join Sora on his trip.
"This won't be goodbye. I will always be living in this dojo. You can all continue living here as well, or leave to another place, it's your choice.
You can all choose your own paths, this is why I granted ALL these techniques and teachings to all of you, so that you may choose your own path with your own strength.
This is why you all joined [Myriad Paths]. To be able to choose your own path from millions of paths.
I wish you all a safe trip."
Swish!
With that, Sora disappeared from the room with a technique, heading straight to the thousands of field bosses of the 20th floor.
…
"Does it matter if Master says whether we can clear Aincrad or not? There's still the possibility of us dying here," muttered Lisbeth with a voice filled with sadness.
"Don't be such a downer," said Asuna with a light smile, "If he says we have the strength, then that means that we can take down Aincrad and free ourselves."
"You only say that because you like him." said Lisbeth.
"Wh-wha-wha-what? N-no! It's not because of th-that…"
Asuna blushed as she waved her hands from side to side with a flustered look, denying that she said that because she liked Sora.
"Yo-you like him too!" shot back Asuna with an 'angry' blushing look.
"Shh!! Don't say that outloud," said Lisbeth, with an equally blushing face.
"..."
"..."
HAHAHA!
Both girls began to laugh together so hard they had tears in their eyes.
They sat down and relaxed, looking at each other with calm faces.
"Good luck," said Lisbeth unexpectedly as she took a hold of Asuna's hands.
"Huh?" Asuna was taken aback before gazing at Lisbeth with a confused face.
Lisbeth revealed a light smile before lowering her head, "Both of us can't go out with Master. So you will be the one to take him, I will gladly stand by and watch."
Lowering her head, Lisbeth conveyed her words to Asuna with a forced smile on her face.
"That won't do!"
Asuna shook her head in denial.
She grabbed Lisbeth's hands fiercely before yanking her before her face.
"We will both be with him and make him take us in! Like you said, there's still a possibility of us dying here. So to not leave the world with a sad soul or regret, we will both be together with him and live in the world to it's fullest," said Asuna, full of conviction as she put her fist on her chest and looked up into the sky.
"..."
Lisbeth remained quiet as she looked at Asuna with shock.
She couldn't believe a single word that came out of Asuna's mouth, but it made sense to her. She refuses to live the rest of her life alone, even if there's a chance of surviving Sword Art Online, she will live with the regret of letting Sora go.
"Right! Like Master said, 'To be able to choose your own path...'," said Lisbeth as she stood up with a happy look on her face.
Knock knock!
"I wonder who it is..." muttered Asuna as she walked over to the door.
"Kirito?"
Standing outside of her room was Kirito in some light clothes that had a decent armor rating. All fashioned in a dark blue and black color.
"Hey Asuna. Lisbeth."
Kirito greeted both Asuna and Lisbeth before telling them what he had come to say.
"I'm leaving today. I will follow behind Master's footsteps and travel Solo for a while before joining someone's party or something," said Kirito. "I only came by to tell you both goodbye and to quickly make your decision so that you both don't fall behind Master."
With those words, Kirito quickly left the dojo after telling everyone else goodbye.
"Kirito is right."
Lisbeth stood up and equipped her blacksmithing gear before looking at Asuna with a serious look on her face.
"We need to hurry up and get to work, or else Master won't accept us for being too low leveled."
Poor Lisbeth will be working for nothing, after all, Sora doesn't care if they are strong or not, but in due time, this hard work won't go in vain as she receives praises from Sora in the future.
'Lisbeth is right! I need to get going and start leveling up to not fall behind Master. If can step within his shadow, he might accept me by his side,' thought Asuna as she stood up and equipped her light armor and weapon before moving with Lisbeth to outside their room.
"We need to act quick," said Asuna as she turned to look at Lisbeth.
Piii~
"Yes we do!"
"Act quick!"
Both Silica and Princess both appeared walking to Asuna and Lisbeth with a tiny feathered dragon behind Silica. Both lolis appeared in front of Asuna and Lisbeth with a smile before stretching their hands and saying…
"Let's party up!"
