Chapter Fifty-fifth: The old line of the swordsman in black
After experiencing the scene just now, Kate couldn't help but think, why did the master specially arrange this encounter and rescue?
Forge a relationship between Kirito and the "Ai Miao Club" that can influence national decision-making, so as to test whether this boy will have an impact on the country and determine whether he is beneficial or harmful to the Axiom Church? Or is it for other reasons?
It can't see it and is very curious about it.
Perhaps, it was only responsible for monitoring and executing various inducement orders, but it was interested in these things, and was it also influenced by the boy's character?
At this moment, after Kirito and Eugeo reunited and returned, Eugeo was using various words to express concern and comfort about the outcome of Kirito's "stirring a big bag" and being judged by the nobles, but even a person of this level could not think of it.
Just come up with some way to deal with it.
Perhaps, the one who was most anxious was Eugeo. Even if he was responsible for the initial expense of leaving that village and embarking on a journey to realize his dream, without Kirito, this journey would never have been possible.
Now Eugeo's strength can only be shown in the local guards. When placed in the rankings of the central capital and even the four empires, he is rubbish. Without Kirito, a master who is willing to be equal and treat each other honestly, he will definitely be finished.
Unfortunately, in its current form, it cannot be directly tracked into Artimias's villa, but its owner requires that Kirito be monitored at all times... What should I do next? Let's see if there are any skills that have not been used so far.
Bar.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect that all the clothes were delivered a day in advance. It seems that the eldest lady has really convinced me." Before setting off on the Sabbath, Kirito was arranging his appearance in the mirror in the guard dormitory, and said to himself
Talk to yourself.
"Kirito, this kind of black clothes seems to fit you inexplicably." Eugeo patted Kirito's back and said.
"Wow!" But Kirito shouted with pain on his face.
"Eh? Does it hurt? Sorry."
"It's okay, those guys are all gloating or jealous..."
The guards who lived together in the same dormitory heard that Kirito was attracted by the Arutimias family when the black suit was delivered, and then one of them gave him a pat on the back as if they were saying hello on a daily basis.
No one has lost their destiny, but they still feel a burning sensation when they add up to a lot.
Seeing that Eugeo was still very uneasy, Kirito smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I feel like my sword skills are being completely targeted, but no matter what happens, I will accompany you to complete this journey to the end. Although we can
We have been together all this time, but when it comes to the swordsmanship competition or when assigning teams, we should prepare for the possibility of being arranged separately."
Rather, if it hadn't been for a certain spider's cool moves, the probability of them being separated early would have increased significantly.
"It's just that the time to teach you the Aincrad-style swordsmanship may be compressed a lot. I have to ask you to listen harder during my rest time, and practice diligently by yourself during the rest of the time." Kirito paused and said,
"Besides, Eugeo is better at using an axe, and he's also pretty good with a machete. He's already found his own way. All I can teach you is knowledge. Wouldn't it be fun if you could create your own style and surprise me?"
"Ah hahaha, this task is difficult enough, but I will try my best."
Eugeo still has a low self-esteem when it comes to fighting. He thinks Kirito says so, but there is a clear difference between the Aincrad style and other schools: most schools, in addition to ordinary combat routines, only have a few single-player moves with fixed postures.
The secret technique of launching an attack only involves one or two weapons of similar shape at most; the Aincrad style not only has many sword skills, but also can perform combos, and the weapons involved include most practical weapons such as knives, swords, spears, and axes.
.
In addition to the above, Kirito looked very stylish in the black clothes sent by the nobles, and his temperament and clothes did not feel out of place. This also gave Eugeo a premonition that Kirito might have been a big shot, and it would be difficult not to feel inferior and lonely.

The mansion of Artemias——
In front of an open-air tea table in the courtyard, Kirito, one of the servants in the row behind Elvira, who was sitting on a chair and playing with her cat, could feel the other people's eyes glancing at him with their peripheral vision. He prayed in his heart that his "mission" could be completed quickly.
conduct.
"Huh huh huh huh, the etiquette of speech and behavior is quite decent, it doesn't look like it was learned in a short period of time. Isn't this a good job? Really, no matter how I investigate, you are a complete border citizen, or your family is no longer here
Now, I'm still worried about how to explain it to my uncle. Huh... Kirito, can you make tea?"
"Have some experience, Miss Elvira."
"Then, come and make me a cup to try. You can use whatever you want over there, but I will definitely need two sugar cubes."
"As you command, Miss Avella."
After brewing, Avila picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a surprised look on her face: "Although it was expected based on your slightly different brewing, it really has an interesting taste. It tastes like a festival.
"
"Thank you for your review, miss." Kirito bowed slightly and secretly said that he had seriously considered serving Miss Nelunel and that he could also act cool and well-practiced when entertaining classmates and friends, but he actually used it here.
As for the taste of the festival, he guessed that it was something like a tea drink prepared according to the taste of the citizens. Similar drinks were more likely to appear at Sakarya's festival than usual.
Taking advantage of Elvira's good mood, Kirito struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Excuse me, Miss, when do you plan to practice swordsmanship?"
"Oh, well, the law stipulates that students must have a good rest on the Sabbath, not reading or practicing swordsmanship, so today is fine. I just asked you to come on this day because it is convenient for the handover of the guards on the Sabbath."
But Kirito is in a hurry. If he can fix things earlier, he can be dismissed earlier, right?
"No, this is not sword practice, Miss... yes, it is a martial arts performance for Miss, please enjoy it." Kirito bowed and said.
"Hehehe, you are really sharp-tongued." Avella covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Then Kirito, you can accompany the four sword-bearing attendants present to fight. Now they are not strong enough to be my sparring partner for a few minutes.
, let me see how long it will take you to defeat them. In order to avoid unnecessary injuries, the martial arts performance will be carried out to the last minute, and both parties are prohibited from using secret techniques."
"Follow your orders."
Kirito was a little dissatisfied with the wooden sword handed over by others. Although the increased size made the sword heavier, the wooden sword was not powerful enough to require high-level sword skills. Forget it, it couldn't be used with secret skills anyway, so that's okay. And Ain
Grant-style is not only a lot of SAO-specific sword skills, but also tactics practiced by keeping in mind that you will die if you are killed.
