"We'll definitely get bored and dumped, he's a total playboy!"

Asuna opened her mouth wide, speechless, then as if suddenly realizing something, she looked at Yuuki with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Yui, Argo and I also need to get ourselves in shape!"

Yui tilted her head, somewhat confused, but since it was her mothers' request, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

So, when Mo Mo walked out of the Black Iron Palace, he saw three girls who had grown into young girls, happily discussing Yuki's identity and abilities.

"Um, something interesting seems to have happened?"

Momo tried to strike up a conversation, but was met with unfriendly looks from Asuna and Argo. Yuki, on the other hand, exclaimed "Big brother!" and ran over with a smile, hugging Momo's arm.

"stare--"

"stare--"

Mo Mo felt somewhat helpless. He really didn't have any romantic feelings for Yuki. He simply wanted to save the girl, but he overlooked the importance that a boy would have in the heart of a desperate girl if a prince suddenly appeared to save her life.

"Ah, I understand!"

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Yuuki seemed to finally understand Argo and Asuna's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, you two. At first, I also thought I liked the older brother, but later I realized that I actually like girls and not boys. Apart from the older brother, I rarely talk to boys."

② Accel World

01 The Moment That Changed My Life

This is probably what it means to say something shocking. Yuki is an example of this.

Even Mo Mo couldn't help but glance at Yuki again because of her explosive remarks. Yuki seemed to misunderstand Mo Mo's meaning and said, "Ah, um, big brother, I'm sorry. Back then, big brother really wanted to propose to me, but now I can only refuse."

Mo Mo's eyelids twitched. Could it be that Yuki is a natural-born black-hearted person?

In an instant, Mo Mo felt two men staring at him with hostility, as if asking what had happened back then.

Before Mo Mo could answer, Yuki innocently smiled and added insult to injury.

"But if you really want Yuuki to accompany you, that's fine too. Anyway, Yuuki wouldn't like other boys, and she's your subordinate now. Speaking of which, I think I've seen this kind of thing on TV before. Isn't it called 'unspoken rules'?"

"Unspoken rules my ass! If you were really a girl who wanted to be subjected to unspoken rules, you would have already been blacklisted by your boss for saying something like that!"

"Mo Mojun, I think we should have a serious talk?"

Asuna wore a natural smile, but Mo Mo already knew clearly that most of the people who could elicit such an expression from Asuna had died under her ferocious sword skills.

Faced with the impending conflict, Mo Mo smiled slightly. Five years of getting along with her had enabled him to skillfully handle Asuna's minor unpleasantness, especially since the origin of this problem did not lie with him.

"Don't talk nonsense, Yuuki!"

Momo affectionately tapped Yuuki's forehead, just like a real older brother, and said, "I treat you like a real little sister. So, why don't you go and comfort your Asuna sister? She's terrifying if she gets angry."

Yuuki tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, as if asking why she or Asuna would make her angry.

However, since Momo said so, it's probably true. Yuuki didn't suspect anything and happily hugged Asuna. She was now a little shorter than Asuna, so it didn't seem abrupt that she was hugging Asuna's waist affectionately.

Asuna's slight displeasure vanished after Yuuki's affectionate hug, especially since Momo had mentioned his relationship with Yuuki. Both Asuna and Argo wholeheartedly supported Momo's decision to save Yuuki.

What they didn't expect was that Yuuki would meet the three of them again here as a Heroic Spirit.

"Oh, right, Yuuki, as your senior, there's something I need to tell you!" Argo chimed in at this point.

"Yes, Yuuki is listening!"

"You can be intimate with my Asuna, but if you really want to lay a hand on her, that's not allowed. Asuna is mine, and everything must go through me."

"Huh, is that not allowed? I quite like Asuna-neechan too, don't I?"

"Are you really planning to make a move?"

"You two are enough!" What angered Asuna the most was that she had been captured by Argo. One Argo was one thing, but now there was Yuuki... Asuna suddenly realized that the one who should be most worried right now was not Yuuki, but Asuna.

Momo smiled as he looked at Yuki. He hadn't expected Yuki to have such high "emotional intelligence," as she had become friends with Asuna and Argo so quickly.

Yuuki's arrival actually surprised Momo, since the existence of Heroic Spirits in the Sword Art Online world is already an incredible thing. However, since Yuuki is actually a fictional Heroic Spirit, it's understandable.

However, Yuki's arrival was an unexpected benefit, since she possesses great strength and powerful personal skills. Undoubtedly, her power will be a great asset.

Furthermore, Momo can also learn Yuki's exclusive skills by using her trading power.

However, it must be mentioned here that the inherent skills of Heroic Spirits, such as Yuuki's Absolute Sword, are not actually skills that can be activated by clicking on a skill bar in a game.

The term "Absolute Sword" is more of a summary of Yuuki's overall swordsmanship level and inclinations. It is a combination of Yuuki's personal physical training, accumulation of combat experience, development of combat awareness, and the enhancement of faith and legends.

So even if Mo Mo made a deal with Yuki, offering additional skills in exchange for learning and instruction so that Yuki would teach him the Absolute Sword skill, and Yuki agreed to the deal and teach him without reservation, Mo Mo still wouldn't be able to obtain the Absolute Sword skill. After all, Mo Mo's body is different from Yuki's, and he doesn't have the legendary bonus.

Even so, Mo Mo's swordsmanship is already at a very high level, and if there is any further development in the future, it may be possible for him to condense his own unique skills.

Yuuki and Argo's teasing was finally stopped by Asuna's stern words. However, at this time, the slight estrangement between the two girls towards Yuuki disappeared, since the three of them were already good friends in real life.

"Dad, we're going to the Acceleration World next. Are you ready?"

Momo didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the three women. Asuna and Argo smiled and said, "Weren't we already prepared?"

……

Haruyuki Arita is the male protagonist of the anime series Accel World. Born in 2033, he is a second-year junior high school student at Umesato Junior High School and attends Class 2-C with Chiyuri Kurashima.

Haruyuki Arita was originally overweight and introverted. In addition, due to the malice of the anime production team and the artist, Haruyuki Arita, who was 1.65 meters tall, was drawn to be only about 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall.

Otherwise, if we calculate based on Haruyuki Arita's height of 1.65 meters, everyone around him would be over 1.8 meters tall, and a considerable number of them would even be over 2 meters tall.

Such a thing is clearly impossible in an island nation like Japan.

With her physique and personality, Haruyuki Arita was destined to be bullied. Perhaps the only saving grace was that Japan was in 2046, with public cameras covering every corner of the school and everyone wearing a neural connection device around their neck. Under these conditions, even if Haruyuki Arita was bullied, it would be to a limited extent.

The Neural Linker, on the other hand, is a quantum-connected communication terminal device worn on the head. It can connect to global networks and campus local area networks to conduct quantum-scale wireless communication with brain cells.

Neural link devices can transmit imagined sensory information to the brain while simultaneously eliminating various real-world sensations. Fifteen years have passed since the first generation appeared, and now they are so widespread that almost everyone owns one, just like the mobile phones we hold in our hands today—an essential mobile data terminal for everyone.

Therefore, there is no doubt that such a high-end device must have a recording function. So it is a bit hard to understand why Haruyuki Arita was still bullied even though she had such a device.

Under normal circumstances, anyone with a little bit of rebellious spirit could quietly record a video and then casually forward it to the principal, who would definitely like it immediately. In this way, Araya and the others who bullied Haruyuki Arita would at least receive a major demerit or even be expelled.

Although Haruyuki Arita claims he's afraid of retaliation, how will he retaliate? If Haruyuki Arita insists on recording every time, Araya will realize that while Haruyuki may seem easy to bully, he's actually a prickly hedgehog, and will definitely look for other easy targets to bully.

Therefore, Haruyuki Arita's personality is not simply cowardly, but rather he has absolutely no courage to face or resist.

However, even Haruyuki Arita himself could not have imagined that the turning point in his life was about to arrive.

Unlike Haruyuki Arita, Kuroyukihime is the most popular student at Umesato Middle School. Because her name contains the character "Hime," all the students voluntarily call her Princess, which shows just how popular she is.

Kuroyukihime was a year older than Arita Haruyuki. She had pure white skin and jet-black eyes, and her long, shiny black hair made it impossible to look away at first glance.

Princess Kuroyukihime, who was renowned throughout the school, could theoretically never have any interaction with Haruyuki Arita. Even Haruyuki Arita himself always thought so. He didn't even dare to look at Kuroyukihime, for fear of being ridiculed by others if they found out.

But today, something unbelievable happened to him.

His proud squash game, where he held the highest level record, saw his LV152 score easily broken, and in an instant, his score, which Arita Haruyuki had almost no chance of improving, was raised to LV166, a score that Arita Haruyuki would also find difficult to reach in a short period of time.

In an instant, Haruyuki Arita collapsed. In reality, everyone looked down on him, discriminated against him, and even bullied him like a desolate valley. And the last piece of confidence and foothold he had in the virtual world was also ruthlessly destroyed.

What should he do?

At this moment, Kuroyukihime appeared.

Haruyuki Arita then realized that the person who broke his record was none other than the school's acknowledged princess, who had extended an invitation to him to meet her at a salon that only senior students were qualified to enter.

Even now, as Haruyuki Arita stands at the salon entrance, being looked at with mocking and contemptuous eyes by countless upperclassmen, he is still somewhat dazed.

He actually came?

What if this is a trap?

Was it a trap set by others to embarrass him?

He almost turned and ran away when he met the gazes of the older students.

At this moment, two older students, with polite but aloof expressions, kindly asked Haruyuki what he was doing there. But to Haruyuki, this was clearly a message to get him out of there and to tell him he shouldn't have come.

At the crucial moment, it was Kuroyukihime who came to his rescue. Amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone, she invited him to sit down by the window in the salon, and then even took out a direct connection cable.

Direct connection, also known as wired direct communication, involves two people communicating via an XSB cable instead of using wireless means to communicate with each other on the network server.

With a wired direct connection, the firewall will be ineffective in 90% of cases, so direct connections are generally limited to family members or lovers. The two people connected directly do not need to speak; they can communicate and think directly through the connected terminal.

All the senior students gasped in surprise, staring at everything in disbelief. Haruyuki Arita, however, stared intently at the straight line, feeling that it would change his life.

02 The Wrong Way of Arrival

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A piercing electrical sound suddenly erupted, the enormous noise creating a sonic boom effect that instantly stimulated everyone's eardrums, causing the girls to scream and the boys to jump up from their seats.

Not only that, the decorative chandeliers above everyone's heads suddenly emitted a bright light, which instantly turned from soft to blinding. Then, as if struck by an impact, they shattered, and countless shards of glass fell down, further exacerbating the panic.

However, this is only the beginning, far from the end.

The public security cameras on the surrounding walls were not spared either; after each of them beeped, black smoke billowed out.

The continuous changes left all the students dumbfounded. It was 2046, and power outages were almost legendary, let alone events like this large-scale circuit failure.

Fortunately, Japan has a relatively good disaster education system. After their initial screams and panic, the students immediately hid under their desks, following their established habit. While this is a preventative measure for earthquakes, it remains to be seen whether it will be effective in the face of this strange event.

Having a sense of psychological security is also good.

“Haruyuki Arita, we…”

Kuroyukihime is far more experienced than ordinary people. After all, she has spent countless years in the Accelerated World and experienced countless battles. Although the scene is one of disaster, it is not enough to make her panic.

After a brief moment of shock, Kuroyukihime reacted and quickly turned to look in Arita Haruyuki's direction, wanting to warn him to take refuge.

After all, given Haruyuki Arita's personality, if he were to be so frightened that he missed the opportunity to take refuge and ended up getting injured, then Kuroyukihime would also be held responsible.

Although the accident had nothing to do with Kuroyukihime, she was the one who brought Arita Haruyuki here. If she did nothing and Arita Haruyuki ended up getting injured and hospitalized, what kind of situation is that?

However, when she turned around, she froze.

They were plunged into even greater shock than when they had just faced the disaster!

Is it because of Haruyuki Arita?

No, no, Haruyuki Arita had already scrambled under the table when the chandelier exploded, squeezing his obese body into the limited space under the table and clinging tightly to the table's support while shaking uncontrollably.
