Kirito

It took us eighteen months since the Entrance Exams. Although, I never thought that Eugeo and i  would be able to make it. 

I sigh, as Eugeo looks at me, "Is something bothering you, Kirito?" 

"Awe, it's just, I am just being worried about Alice. She could be anywhere , considering we're at the Capital now. " I replied to my best friend. 

He knew that I was concerned about reuniting with our childhood best friend we haven't seen for sixteen years. 

It seems to be a scary thought, and also thinking about the impossible: Bringing both of them out of the UnderWorld, a familiar home that they known for so long to be with me in the real world. 

We made to Swordfight Academy , the school for swordsmen to be Knights, although, I am the Black Swordsmen in  SAO, it seems like the world I remembered when I was a kid wouldn't be able to travel here. 

We sat in our table , eating our lunch. Eugeo asks, "Hey , Kirito? Are you still in training with your mentor?" 

"Yeah, although, Ms. Serlut is really a tough mentor to say the least. I still can't actually beat her level , even though I am a skilled swordsmen. " I admitted , as I sweat in total embarrassment. 

"At least you tried to be even with her. Your skills are really rare, are you sure that you can be more controlled of your abilities at least?" Eugeo asks me as I bite my lunch. 

I said, "Awe, don't worry about it too much, Eugeo! We still have a mission here , remember? I hope that nobody finds out the reason we've been accepted at the school so easily like this. " I point out. 

Eugeo

Even though that Kirito and I were able to make it to Swordfight Academy, I can still see how worried Kirito has for Alice. 

It must've been harder on him, because of what happened to us when we were children. He and Alice both disappeared on the same day, and I was all alone. 

And then out of the blue, Kirito appears back at Ruild Village , and we were able to reconnect again after so long. 

Kirito seems to be curious about my well being, as he asks, "Is something wrong? You seem out of place, Eugeo. 

What's on your mind?"

I sighed, that it still amazed me of this is the same Kirito I had been with in Ruild Village. 

"It's just.. knowing that you had a life in the real world, it seems unreal to me. And you changed." 

The boy seems to be curious of my statement, as he tiled his head in confusion. "What you mean, I've changed? 

I'm still the same person I've always been, Eugeo. It's just.." 

He remains silent, mostly because he was thinking about that day. Kirito may be from the Real World, but the pain didn't fade, no matter how much he tries to deny it. 

As days passed, Kirito and I said our goodbyes to our mentors, and Kirito and I spent most of our time sparing with each other. 

"Here I come, Kirito!" I yelled, using the Blue Rose Sword. 

We fought as much we pleased, as Kirito was indeeded stronger than me. "It looks like a draw on this match." 

"Suppose so." I replied, grinning. 

We sat down, from our match, as I looked at my best friend. He seems to be quiet, and I know why.

"Thinking about Asuna?" I asked him, which he blushed with embarrassment, "S-sorry! I didn't mean for you to see I was think-" 

"Asuna will be fine, Kirito! Besides, I wouldn't be that surprised if she decides to come on her own accord and try to find us. " I chuckled. 

Kirito thought a long moment before replying to that comment. "Come to think of it... I think she would." 

I jumped in pure shock of how calm he was of knowing how powerful Asuna was. "R-Really?"

Kirito

I really hate to admit it, that Eugeo made a solid point. There is no doubt in my mind of how our relationship we had together been through, and she is pretty smart for her age. 

"R-Really?!?" Eugeo stammers as I pulled away my sword, "Yeah, there is also something else you should know about her. 

When I first met her in SAO, she was called, "The Lighting Flash" .  Her sword fight skills is something you would never experience before. You'll have no chance fighting against her." 

"C'mon, she's not that much a powerful house as you are, right..." Eugeo asked, but I simply walked away from him. 

As I walked, he said, "C'mon, Kirito, tell me! It's not fair that you have a different life than I had! 

Kirito, aren't you even listening to me?!?" 

As days passed, being in the Swordfight Academy seemed like an ordinary day. Training and honing our skills. 

I really was hoping of thinking of a way to find Alice somehow, and that being able to bring both of my childhood friends into the real world...

That would be an hard obstacle for me to handle. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't given in so easily.

As I was lost in thought, I felt something familiar. A little spark of wings was breazing through. 

That was when I turned around to see who it was. In front of me was a pixie, an familiar pixie that I had known all along. 

"What the- Yui?"
