Chapter 248: The New Journey of the Boy and Girl in Black
Kirito and Yuuki are receiving some kind of special tutoring in another virtual world where one can get infinitely close to the soul through purely scientific means.
They faced each other on both sides of a wooden table to work on the questions, but they were all using rough paper of poor quality by the standards of this era and pens that had to be dipped in ink at all times to write, which seemed more suitable for Aingar.
Questions used in teaching at Langte Kai School.
Compared to Kirito who always maintains a sense of seriousness, Yuuki looks relaxed and happy.
But after a while, she turned into a worried sigh: "If you miss too many courses, it will become difficult."
"Yuki, aren't you very enthusiastic in this area? Now you can take online classes even if you are hospitalized, right? Didn't you take online classes before the SAO incident?" Kirito stopped writing and asked.
"I only felt this way after entering SAO. When I was lying in the hospital bed, I just felt that the world was dark. What I look forward to going to school is to be able to live with my classmates, help each other, and have fun. It is not just a day of indoctrination.
As for knowledge, I thought that since my life is short, I won’t be able to use it in the future.” Yuuki said without thinking.
"Although I can't empathize with you, but... it's really hard on you. Do you need me to teach you?"
"Oh, is that okay? Please!"
After doing some questions, Kirito asked: "But, is this okay? Since you want the school atmosphere you haven't seen for a long time, it would be more suitable for Yuuki to go to the Returner Academy. Your sister and fellow patients also study there. Although
I don’t know the reason, but your injuries have all been healed by ‘upgrade full recovery’. The situation at home and abroad is a bit chaotic now, so you can only enjoy it now.”
"Yes, but judging from the test results, I am the only one in this country who can help Kirito. The device we are using now...s...s..."
"stl."
"Yes, yes, this is a stealth device that can adjust the difference in the speed of internal and external time to thousands of times. I heard that if the multiple is five million times, there is a risk of blowing away the soul, but after dying once, I became the so-called soul race.
There’s no risk like that. And if it can be increased so many times, we won’t be separated from you for more than one study trip.”
"But this is no joke."
"Since when did you start having fun in SAO? Go to another world similar to Aincrad and try to live an ordinary life with the locals. You can choose your own job, and there is no need to risk danger and you will be everywhere just by leaving the town.
There’s nothing wrong with fighting the monsters you encounter.”
Kirito sighed inwardly.
Although Kikuoka Seijiro invited those with the highest testing standards to prepare for this experiment, and also provided political protection in exchange (which is very important for players in the current international environment), the ultimate purpose of the experiment was not stated clearly, but from the system
Judging from the direct use of the old version of SAO that was bought back from the country that stole the software and hardware at a lot of cost, I am afraid that the same combat elements as SAO are indispensable. Let’s not mention whether the virtual world will become a reality.
Our motherland has used its limited capabilities to develop technology that can accelerate the virtual world by thousands to millions of times. It is impossible to restore military strength without using it.
When it comes to how to use it in the military, a popular saying in the past was to use the AI of high-performance combat NPCs for unmanned weapons, which is at least much more practical and less distressing than directly turning NPC soldiers into real soldiers; now,
Now that it has been confirmed that the magic system in SAO is partly universal in reality, then by specifically creating a world with the same engine as SAO and spending hundreds or even thousands of years in it, the magic technology that can be developed will be far beyond the current one, and can
The only thing that can stimulate them to become powerful and even have the opportunity to compete with strategic weapons is a war that destroys lives.
Although he didn't know what went wrong with the experiment and high-end players had to participate, he tentatively guessed that it was for the same reason as SAO, "You can't fight without players." However, considering that the motherland had lost its sovereignty and its diplomacy was weak due to the SAO incident, he also
Quite intolerable.
If Aincrad hadn't been smashed into Tokyo Bay, and countries were wary of those who could do this and were busy analyzing the skills and magic that could be turned into reality, his homeland would probably have become a battlefield for great power competition.
If you want to protect something, you can't do it without becoming stronger.
However, transferring the devastation of life to the virtual world is not what Kirito wants. Although he was told that the memory will be blocked when the time comes, it can only be left to him who is confident that he can still love that world even if the memory is blocked.
And now, what Kirito and Yuuki are doing is to get familiar with some necessary things through some special tutoring. It is said that if you don't do this, there is a risk of becoming an otaku in that world due to strange body sensations.
.
After completing the questions, the next step is the adaptation training of endurance, concentration and quick reaction.
In fact, it’s a common game that Yuuki plays very well——
First, the two of them ran to exhaustion, then circled the stick a hundred times, and then guessed the box.
Yuuki won, Kirito lost.
So, Kirito grabbed a small buckler and covered his head. At the same time, Yuuki took out a wooden stick and hit Kirito on the head.
"watch out!"
"Boom!"
"It hurts! I feel 100% pain here... Although you should notice when you feel muscle soreness when running..."
"Ah. I'm sorry~"
"But Yuuki is really fast."
"Obviously Kirito was faster than me in the end."
"That's the bonus effect of the rare props and the double ponytail hairpin that Fei helped me get."
"Pfft~ Kirito with twin tails really wants to see it with his own eyes."
"Please... spare me. Phew... take a rest."
After all, it was an exhausting duel, so the two of them lay down side by side.
"Now, what does Kirito want to do in the future?" Yuuki suddenly asked.
"Um?"
"In the future, this is something I never even dared to imagine. But it feels like it would be a little difficult for ordinary people to go to school and work an ordinary job to get married... No, getting married is not a problem. I heard that some people are
People who got married in SAO got married immediately after they came back, and even had children, even if they were just NPCs originally."
"Getting married...ahem, it's true that your future in this world will be more troublesome."
"Then, what does Kirito want to do? I feel like they want to hire you as a long-term employee. Working for the country is an enviable iron rice bowl. And Miss Nelnel, if you are from Aincrad
If the administrative agency can be recognized, isn't Miss Nelnel's status like that of a high-ranking official and a wealthy person? It seems that it would be good to be her attendant."
"In the future?" Kirito hasn't thought about it yet, but he only knows one thing -
He is no longer a simple technical nerd or a swordsman who can take risks freely.
