Chapter 2: Familiar Encounter
"Yo. I've been waiting. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the Virtual World." The person smiled at them.
Both Leon and Yuki are shocked. They could not move. They looked at each other as if doubting their eyes. Whoever stood before them is someone they knew all too well.
The person is none other than Kirito. Black hair, two swords and black coat. That is definitely Kirito.
"K-K-K-K-KIRITO?!?!?!?! W-WHAT?! I-I.....UWAH~~~!!" Leon got too excited and is going to faint.
"Leon-nii chan?! Leon-nii chan! Hang in there!" Yuki shaked Leon so that he would not lose consciousness.
After a while, Leon recovered and properly greeted Kirito. “Kirito, it's nice to meet you. It's really an honor to meet you face to face." Leon bowed to show his appreciation.
“Ah-No-I-It's my pleasure to meet you. Since it's your first dive, let me show you around before we have our match." Kirito scratched his head, not knowing what to do with his major fan in front of him.
“Oh!!!! I-I-I will take your offer!! Please show us around!" Leon bowed once more.
“Leon-nii chan! Don't give too much pressure to Kirito-kun. You'll make him scared... Kirito-kun, please don't mind my nii chan's attitude. He goes crazy when it comes to you..." Yuki apologised on behalf on both of them.
“I-It's ok..I don't mind at all. Let's go, we need to get you some decent equipment then we'll go fight some low level creatures before we have our match." Kirito suggested and then typed out something on his console screen.
“Oh? What's this?" Leon asked.
“It's a party invitation. When you're in a party, it's safer and I can keep track of your hitpoint (HP) bars easily. Now, let's go."
Upon accepting the party invite, they then set out to explore Port Isle.
They walked around the town and Kirito introduced them the basic shops they need to know about in all VRMMORPG games.
“.......Got it? If you didn't get it, I'll write up a list and send it to you later." Kirito finished explaining what Leon and Yuki need to know about, with more attention to Leon since Yuki did play SAO before.
“Y-Yes! Barely though...... I'll appreciate if you could send me that list of things." Leon thanked Kirito.
“It's ok. Now let's go get you some weapons. The current ones you two have on yourselves are not good enough to defeat the low level creatures."
“Sure!" They replied in unison. Kirito bought them both better starter weapons, a long sword for Leon since he is a Fighter and a magic staff for Yuki, 5 hp potions and 5 mp potions for both, armour that is exclusive to the different classes and a teleport crystal for both.
“Woah! What a variety of stuff! Thanks for everything, Kirito!" Leon thanked Kirito.
“Don't mention it. I also wish to do something for you two since you two have been treating me all this while..." Kirito giggled at the thought of it.
“Equip....Done! All the new gear is equipped. Let's go fight some creatures!" Leon ran straight for the gate.
“Ah! Wait up, Leon-nii chan!!" Yuki tried chasing after him but suddenly floated in the air as she tried to run closer. “WAH!!!! W-W-What is this?! W-Wings?!" Yuki got scared.
“Oh! Yuki! You can fly already? I didn't teach you how to yet..... We'll work on that later. Hold on, I'll get you down." Kirito flew up and grabbed Yuki bridal style and flew after Leon, who is oblivious to the fact that he could fly.
Upon reaching the gate, they saw Leon already attempting to fight a low level creature. Kirito looked at the HP bar of the creature. “Harpy Lvl 2. Let's see what he can do first." Kirito then landed near Leon and put Yuki down.
“Ah! Leon-nii chan is fighting already!! I have to help him! Huh?" Kirito stopped Yuki as soon as she took a step forward.
“Why, Kirito-kun? He doesn't have any experience fighting those creatures! I have to help him!" Yuki shouted attempting to break free of his grasp.
“Let him do it alone. I want to see what he can do on his own." Kirito explained.
“But why? He needs to be taught all those things. He's bad at study and I always have to teach him before he learns something." Yuki retaliated.
“Even so, leave him be. I felt it in him when I first saw him just now as a newbie. He has the potential. He might be just like me." Kirito explained further.
Without anything to rebuke, Yuki obeyed and watched Leon fight.
“Bring it on, you winged bastard! Take this! Haa!" Leon swung his sword forward but he missed and got damaged.
“Woah! It is really hard to control my body when fighting. Tsk. I'll just have to get used to it. Here I come you winged bastard!" Leon attempted to attack again but he missed again. This process repeated itself.
“See? He can't fight on his own! I need to help him!" Yuki tried to run but was stopped again. Leon's HP bar dropped to yellow.
“Wait. Look at him. He got it already." Kirito said bluntly.
