Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"Hmm--"

In the early morning, Asuna woke up from her sleep and slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Seeing the simple and somewhat shabby room in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly recalled everything that happened yesterday.

They are trapped in the game by Kayaba Akihiko. Today they are going to officially start fighting monsters and leveling up.

Thinking of this, she suddenly woke up and no longer felt sleepy.

Although I was woken up, because I went to bed early last night and was not bothered by the current situation, I slept very comfortably throughout the night.

"Come on, Asuna, you can do it!"

After waking up, Asuna only felt that she was full of energy, cheering for herself in a low voice and strengthening her determination.

After doing all this, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka aside.

The other party was still sleeping soundly at this time, lying on her side facing her, showing her lovely and peaceful sleeping face, her body curled up slightly, rising and falling slightly with her regular breathing.

Different from the nervous but extremely reliable and reassuring image yesterday, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked more like a pitiful and cute little animal in his sleep.

And it's a sleepy little animal.

"Stand up the incense, stand up the incense"

She called the other person's name softly, but this little movement didn't seem to be enough to wake him up.

So she got out of bed, came to the other party's bedside, and shouted again:

"Ritsuka, Ritsuka, it's time to get up!"

Calling like this, she suddenly remembered the goal she had set before falling asleep last night, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to the other person's abdomen.

Now seems like a good opportunity——

"Hmm."

Just when she was about to take action, Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her sobbed and slowly opened her eyes sleepily.

Asuna was frightened and quickly put her hands behind her back, pretending that nothing happened and greeted her:

"Good morning, Ritsuka!"

"Hmm, good morning Asuna."

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just woken up, didn't notice her little movement and responded in a daze.

After sitting up from the bed and letting out a big yawn, she rubbed her eyes and clicked on the system window to check the time.

06:36 in the morning.

Although I really want to go back to sleep again, forget it, let's just do it.

Since BB initialized the levels and equipment of all players yesterday, today, they have to buy equipment again.

After a night's rest, Asuna's mentality seemed to have been greatly restored, closer to its original state.

While walking on the road, she was even in the mood to complain like Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Speaking of which, I really wanted to complain about a problem yesterday."

"Although I know that characters in the game don't get dirty, it's really uncomfortable to not wash up before going to bed and after getting up, right Ritsuka?"

"It's really a bit unaccustomed."

She heard this and responded with a smile:

"But to solve this problem, just work hard to make money by killing monsters, and then move to a more luxurious hotel."

"Ha~"

After saying that, she yawned again.

When Asuna heard Fujimaru Ritsuka mention about fighting monsters, Asuna couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but when she saw him yawning, she asked curiously:

"Ritsuka, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Roughly the same."

She sighed.

And to be precise, not only did I not sleep well last night, I also didn't sleep well the night before.

"is that OK?"

Suddenly, Asuna looked at her with worried eyes and words, and she replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's no problem."

"No matter what I say, I won't make fun of my own life."

"All right."

Asuna could only nod, but she still looked vaguely worried.

After a while, the two arrived at the blacksmith shop.

But compared to the lively scene yesterday, there were only two of them here at this moment, and it seemed very deserted.

Asuna skillfully purchased a newbie rapier for herself and prepared to go.

Then she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka aside, only to find that he had not purchased a weapon yet, but had his head slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ritsuka, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't think I'm suitable for using a one-handed straight sword, so I'm going to change my weapon."

She answered, thinking.

The reason why she chose the one-handed straight sword yesterday was actually to see if she had the talent to use the one-handed straight sword or even master the double-sword style.

But facts have proven that she most likely does not.

And the BB condition is that you only need to clear the five-level BOSS, and you have no access to special skills such as dual-sword style that will only appear in the later stages.

In addition, BB stipulated that she must participate in the BOSS crusade and play a sufficient role in it.

Based on these two points, she felt that it was better for her to choose a weapon that she was better at.

As for what her best weapon is.

Thinking of this, she made a decision.

She clicked on the store interface and prepared to load the weapon, when a newbie spear appeared in her hand.

"Lance!?"

Asuna was a little surprised when she saw the choice she made.

You know, SAO is a completely stealth virtual game world. Unlike other games, you only need to click the mouse and press the keyboard when attacking.

When using weapons in SAO, each move must be wielded by the player personally, just like in the real world.

In other words, in addition to releasing attacks such as [Sword Skill], the player's mastery of the weapon itself is also very important.

Although Asuna didn't know much about weapons, looking at the length of the spear that far exceeded the height of Fujimaru Ritsuka, she knew that it was definitely not that easy to use.

Is it really okay to choose a long gun?

Such worries could not help but arise in her heart, but soon they disappeared again——

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly put on a very professional posture and shook out several beautiful guns very quickly, just like scenes from action movies, which made her eyes widen.

She couldn't help but asked in shock

"Have you ever learned how to use a spear in the real world?"

"Yeah, I've learned a little bit."

After roughly getting used to the spear in her hand, she smiled and nodded when she heard Asuna's question.

In Chaldea, the weapons she mastered include swords, bows, and spears, and among them, the spear was the most proficient.

There is no other reason. Among the teachers who trained her, the masters Scathach, Li Shuwen, and Leonidas I were all spearmen and were very good at spear skills.

But to be precise, Leonidas I used a war spear.

Therefore, when it comes to the use of spears, she is taught more by the master craftsman and Mr. Li Shuwen. Occasionally, she will also have the dog Cú Chulainn and the little sun Karna as her sparring partners.

As for strength, according to the evaluation of the master, it can barely be regarded as entry-level.

But considering that the vast majority of players in SAO are just ordinary people, even otakus who have never practiced before, the basic gun skills should be enough, right?

"Amazing!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer made Asuna marvel again and said curiously:

"I said before that you were not an athlete. Could it be that you are a martial artist?"

"No, no, no, how is that possible!"

She suddenly felt ashamed and quickly denied:

"I have only learned a little bit about marksmanship, so I can barely be considered an enthusiast."

The name of a martial artist was too big, and she didn't dare to carry it for fear of being punished by Mr. Li Shuwen when she went back.

The masters and craftsmen never thought about letting her use spear skills to fight. Although she actually thought so, the servants decisively rejected her proposal.

The reason why she is trained like this is to let her understand the attack methods of guns and even various weapons. This is knowledge that a master who makes decisions must learn;

The second is to exercise her body;

The third, and last, is to give her the ultimate means of fighting to protect herself in extreme situations.

And the current situation happened to meet the last condition. She had been practicing hard, well, not that hard, and she could finally show off her spear skills a little bit.

After finally choosing a weapon, she smiled at Asuna and said:

"In that case, let's set off!"
