Dimensional Manifestation

"Ahem, what do you think of President Lin's question?"

In the dead silence, in the end, the most responsible Heathcliff stood up again, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the arena.

"What do you think? Don't think much! I'm not in the mood to mess around with this guy!"

The president of [Sacred Dragon Union] said dissatisfiedly.

Ever since the other party entered this door, today's meeting started to become weird. He decided that next time he held a meeting, he must put a piece of paper on the door, 'Lin Tianya is forbidden to enter'!

The others looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they didn't speak, it was obvious that they were all on the side of [Holy Dragon United] this time.

In the end, Tongren stood up and persuaded Lin Tianya because of the face of having met Lin Tianya once:

"President Lin, you see that everyone agrees to carry out the boss battle tomorrow, why don't you work overtime tomorrow and join everyone?"

"Heh! Because everyone agrees, so I have to agree?"

Lin Tianya raised his legs and curled his lips in disdain.

"Because everyone is studying, you should study too. Because everyone is working overtime, you should also work overtime. Because everyone is patient, you should be patient too. Because everyone is kneeling, so standing People deserve to die?

Is this the truth of life that your teacher has been teaching you since childhood? Is this the code of conduct you have held up to this day? Have you ever felt suspicious, dissatisfied, or disgusted for a single moment?

So answer me, Kirito, do you really think that what everyone else is doing must be right? Do you really plan to spend your whole life following this "correct" guidance? "

"I……"

Facing Lin Tianya's questioning, Tongren was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, if it is forced to be divided, Kirito feels that he should be classified into the ranks of "heterogeneous". He is addicted to games and cannot extricate himself. Whether in school or according to the universal concept of society, he belongs to a minority group, and belongs to the existence that is isolated and even cast aside by the majority of people.

So of course he doesn't feel that what most people are doing must be correct.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with everyone's decision to go to the boss battle tomorrow and Saturday.

This kind of inner conflict completely stunned the young Kirito, and his brain fell into chaos.

"Ahem, President Lin, no matter what, the boss attack tomorrow morning is something that everyone has already decided on. It is impossible to cancel the plan just because of your objection."

said Heathcliff. And his speech also saved Kirito who was in chaos, and rescued him from the crisis of brain short circuit.

"So I can understand that the [Ark] guild refuses to participate in this boss battle?"

Heathcliff finally confirmed.

"I refused. As for the other members of my guild, tomorrow is the weekend, and they are free to do whatever they want. So maybe some of them will participate."

At least for Asuna who is standing behind him now, Lin Tianya feels that the other party will definitely attend tomorrow.

"In that case, they can only be placed in the team of solo players."

"No problem, I'll make it clear to them."

"Well, it's decided like this. The plan remains unchanged. Tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp, the boss battle on the 25th floor of the maze will be held. All participants are requested to arrive at the city square to gather before 9:30. That's it, the meeting ends."

After speaking, Heathcliff turned and left without saying a word. He was really afraid that if he walked too slowly, Lin Tianya would make some troubles again.

Soon, everyone left, and only Lin Tianya, who was lazily lying on the table, and Yulier and Asuna, who were still standing behind him, were left in the meeting room.

"President! Why don't you participate in tomorrow's strategy battle!?"

Asuna suddenly asked angrily.

It can be seen that she has been patient for a long time. Before, it was due to the majesty of Lin Tianya as the president, so he didn't explode in front of others. Now there were only three members of her own guild left in the field, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"The reason, haven't I already said it clearly. Because tomorrow is Saturday..."

"Please be serious! Do you know that because of your absence, someone may be sacrificed tomorrow! Usually, I never participate in the group activities of the guild, and I always go somewhere alone. You really have Do you want to clear this game!"

What happened at the meeting just now was actually just the last straw that broke the camel's back. Asuna has long criticized Lin Tianya's various "irresponsible" behaviors.

Ever since she participated in the battle against the boss on the first floor, she realized that when facing the boss, multiple players must work together to defeat the boss. So, after that, she chose to join the [Ark] guild.

But after officially joining [Ark], she discovered that Lin Tianya, as the president, never acts with everyone in the guild.

In normal times, she often complained to Yulier, hoping that the other party, as the vice president, could restrain the unreliable president Lin Tianya a little bit.

In Asuna's view, Lin Tianya's strength is very strong, much stronger than her and other people she knows. If Lin Tianya led them to clear monsters, conquer mazes and bosses, the speed of clearing the game would definitely be greatly improved.

But the reality is that it is difficult for her to see each other for a week. Only a few times when the members of [Ark] first discovered the boss room, the other party fought with them. This made it very difficult for her, who wanted to clear the game early and return to reality, to accept it.

"Of course I want to clear this game."

Lin Tianya sat up straight, looked at Asuna helplessly and said.

"In addition, I'm not a savior, and I don't have the ability to save sentient beings. It doesn't matter if it's you, me, or anyone else. When everyone chooses to enter the strategy group, they should have already made up their minds about death. You are now putting the responsibility of someone dying in battle on me, that’s not good. And it also tarnishes his consciousness.”

"However, if you also participate..."

"Asuna, if you want to participate in tomorrow's raid, I won't stop you. As I said just now, that's your freedom, and I respect your freedom.

And after a busy week, I want to take a break on the weekend to relieve my tense nerves, and I don’t want to participate in the strategy battle. This is also my freedom. I hope you can respect my freedom, otherwise, I will take it back. My respect for you.

Because respect is mutual. "

Lin Tianya said in a slightly serious tone.

"..."

After lowering her head in silence for a while, Asuna suddenly buried her head and rushed out of the meeting room without saying a word. A few drops of crystal clear liquid could be vaguely seen falling in the air.

"Ah~ah, you actually made the girl cry, the president is really bad."

The plain words without ups and downs came out of Yulier's mouth, which made people feel like an amateur's great reading.

"Hey—!? What, what can I do? I, I didn't say anything, why did she cry? Could it be that my speech just now was really bad?"

Seeing Asuna crying, Lin Tianya was really frightened, and the drowsiness in his mind disappeared instantly.

Why are you chatting well, but the other party suddenly cried?
