I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Thanks to this, Asuna also learned from others how famous Leafa was among the wind elves.

"I didn't expect that you have won several championships in the martial arts competitions held regularly in Siyiluban."

Asuna and Leafa were walking and chatting as a pair, laughing.

Before, before entering the game, Leafa, Kirito's sister Suguha, had always emphasized in their small group that she was just an ordinary player.

And now, Asuna realized how "ordinary" this "ordinary player" of Leafa was.

As a well-known celebrity among Wind Elf players, Leafa is not only rarer than a divine weapon and a very precious female player in all games, but she is also a swordsman who can be ranked in the top five in the entire Wind Elf race!

In the entire wind elf race, no one has dared to claim that they can definitely defeat Leafa.

For this reason, Leafa knew so many famous players, merchants, and blacksmiths, and those people were willing to give Leafa face.

Otherwise, even if Asuna is willing to spend money, others may not be willing to sell her high-performance equipment.

However, compared to others, Leafa is not very aware of her own fame.

"Almost 90% of the players in this world can only fight randomly."

Leafa said, "If it's a close combat, just swing your weapon randomly.

At a distance, they just randomly fire magic at each other, competing with each other's attack power and hit rate. Only a small number of skilled players can consciously use weapons to defend or evade and other advanced techniques. Fighting against them, there is nothing to be proud of even if you win. "

Leafa looked a little unimpressed.

Because there are so few true masters, most players have only seen battles that basically rely on attack power and hit rate. As for combat skills?

Just have fun playing the game, why learn those useless skills?

Asuna could understand this.

Generally speaking, how do people consider defense and avoidance when playing games?

In this kind of game world where players will not really die even if their HP drops to zero, players' safety awareness is naturally very low.

Players only clumsily increase their own attack power and defense power, use high attack power to reduce the enemy's HP as much as possible, and then use high defense power to withstand the enemy's attack. In the end, whichever side has higher attack power and defense power will win. Few people consider defense and avoidance.

But Leafa was different.

Because Leafa has been practicing kendo since she was a child, she can easily dodge attacks or defend herself with her trained reflexes and intuition, and her skills are also very high, allowing Leafa to display her outstanding strength.

From the perspective of an old SAO player, Leafa's ability values ​​are actually below average.

Because she has very little time to play games, she is not like some hardcore gamers who play games all day long and some even stay up all night.

But in this game that is completely based on skill, even if Leafa's numbers are not as good as others, her strength can still be maintained among the top five wind elves.

Asuna could only sigh at this.

If these players were in SAO, this kind of gameplay would simply be a dead end.

After all, once HP drops, it means you are one step closer to death, so in SAO, no player dares to be so tough.

SAO players who dare to fight outside the circle, even if they are middle or lower-level players, will master basic defense and avoidance techniques, unlike the players in this game who dare to fight with limited HP.

This also strengthened Asuna's confidence in conquering the World Tree.

The players here are so unskilled that they can almost conquer the World Tree. So, if I gather the SAO strategy group again, won’t we be able to conquer it within a day?

042I don’t agree!

Asuna felt that this was not impossible.

With the technical level of ALO players, they can almost conquer the World Tree, so what reason do the players with rich practical experience in SAO have to fail?

When Asuna took Leafa to attack the boss outside the circle, she had witnessed Leafa's fighting level.

It can be said that with Leafa's strength, she can definitely occupy a place in the SAO strategy group.

And how many members of the SAO strategy team survived?

There were more than 20 members in the strategy team who had conquered the boss of the 75th floor with Asuna before. According to Asuna's previous statistics, there were even more than 100 members of the strategy team who were not selected to participate in the boss battle.

These are SAO's top players, the elite among the elite.

However, after experiencing the SAO incident, it is still unknown how many people will choose to re-enter the game, so the ones who truly respond to the call and come to help should only be friends with whom they have a good relationship.

However, even if you are not a player in the strategy group, as long as you are a player who has fought outside the circle, after coming to this game, you will definitely be able to occupy a place in this game.

After all, those who have been able to fight outside the circle and successfully survive until the game is released, even if their strength is not as good as the members of the strategy group, their strength is still far beyond that of ordinary players here.

For players like Asuna who are at the top of SAO, this game is still okay for fun.

As for being serious? That depends on whether there is anything worth Asuna's seriousness.

"In that case, I will find an opportunity to go to the World Tree and try it out. Then I will choose the number of people to summon based on the strength of the guards."

Thinking of this, Asuna stopped thinking about it.

"Anyway, thank you for today, Leafa."

Asuna smiled at Leafa and said, "Thanks to you, I have basically completed the preparations for the adventure today. At the same time, I have a better understanding of the situation in this world. Next, I can experience this game to my heart's content."

Hearing Asuna's words, Leafa was stunned at first. She had defeated all the bosses outside the circle before. Doesn't that count as experience?

Then, Leafa quickly asked:

"what are you planning to do?"

When Leafa was dragged by Asuna to kill monsters before, she had already witnessed Asuna's strength, and her original idea of ​​sparring with her had long been shattered at that time.

At this moment, facing Asuna's words "Enjoy the experience", she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

With her strength, no boss should be her match, right?

Asuna did not hide anything and said straightforwardly:

"I'm going to the central city of Arun."

After experiencing the joy of flying, how could Asuna be satisfied with just a few dozen minutes of flying time?

The natural thing is to conquer the World Tree, and then fly to your heart's content.

"You want to conquer the World Tree?"

Leafa looked at Asuna and said with a serious expression.

"Well, after all, this is also the goal of many ALO players. It would be a pity if I don't experience it myself."

After calling back the SAO strategy team members, I'm afraid I can clear the game directly, so I can only take advantage of this opportunity now to experience the fun of one-on-one combat.

Leafa naturally had no idea what Asuna was thinking, otherwise she would definitely not be able to help but complain about Asuna's behavior of looking for trouble.

Other players are afraid that their skill proficiency will drop if they die, but you, on the contrary, want to die. How confident must you be in your own abilities!

However, when she thought about how Asuna had killed a bunch of bosses so easily as if she was cutting vegetables, Leafa felt that this girl in front of her, who was only a few years older than her, might really be able to accomplish the feat of conquering the World Tree alone.

"I'll go with you!"

Then, Leafa said without hesitation.

The look in his eyes was extremely serious.

"it is good."

Looking at the determined girl in front of her, Asuna pondered for a while, then smiled slightly, nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Leafa also laughed happily.

But the next moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from a distance.

"Wait...wait! I don't agree!"

When such a voice reached the ears of Asuna and Leafa, they were both stunned.

"This voice is..."

It was as if Leafa recognized the person's identity through the voice. The smile on her face disappeared immediately, and then, obvious impatience appeared on Leafa's face, and she was just short of saying directly that she was very unhappy.

Seeing Leafa's undisguised disdain, Asuna became curious.

She turned her head slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

"L...Lifa! I'm coming!"

I saw a young man flying towards me from a distance.

The boy was short and thin, with the same yellow-green hairstyle as Lu Ban. He looked like a novice otaku who stayed at home every day and didn't like to dress up. He gave people the feeling that he had no future.

The young man flew over from a distance, panting, holding an auxiliary joystick in his hand, and his flight was shaky, making people worry that he might fall from the sky at any time.

No, it’s not about whether it will happen, but it has already happened…

The boy seemed to have heard a lot of exaggerated news from other players, and his face was full of anxiety. However, it was also because of this that his already crude flying skills became even more difficult to control.

next moment.

"Whoa!"

When the boy flew in front of Asuna and Leafa, he suddenly fell from mid-air with a cry and fell heavily to the ground.

"Oh!"

With a loud crash landing, the boy slid in front of the two of them, face down on the ground with his feet facing upwards.

This... is probably the legendary face brake?

"Forehead……"

Asuna's mouth twitched.

And Leafa looked as if she wanted to just turn around and leave.

Even the wind elf players who had been watching the show or just passing by saw this scene and started to chuckle.

“Woo~.”

The boy covered his face and stood up shakily.

There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his ears twitched according to his mood, making his already short stature even shorter and quite funny.

"Is this your friend?"

Hearing Asuna's question, Leafa suddenly felt very embarrassed.

At that moment, Leafa glared at the boy.

"What are you doing here? Reagan!"

043 Are you going to snatch Kirito’s sister from him?

Leafa questioned the boy in front of her in a very unpleasant manner.

Judging from Leafa's blunt tone, the other party seemed to have a good relationship with Leafa.

After hearing Leafa's question, Reagan turned his gaze to Leafa, then to Asuna, and the changes in his eyes were quite obvious.

Perhaps because the boy did not hide his thoughts, Asuna could clearly feel that the boy had a relieved expression when he looked at Leafa.

But after looking at him, Reagan's eyes were filled with hostility and vigilance.

"I, after I logged in, I heard from people around me that Leafa seemed to be very close to a newcomer, so I..."

To be precise, it was: "Leafa and a "female" player whose real gender was unknown seemed to be very close, and then they stayed outside the circle together for an hour. When they came back, the player was refreshed, but Leafa was..."

I don’t know what those players who were eager to stir up trouble were thinking about, but Reagan was scared and ran over in a hurry.

And now, facing Leafa's questioning, Regen explained timidly, not daring to say anything that was exaggerated by the players.

However, Reagan's cowardly look made Leafa even more angry.

"So what?"

Leafa's eyes turned fierce as she glared at Reagan, "Even if that's the case, what's the problem?"

"Of course I have!" Reagan suddenly got a chill and said without thinking: "Leafa is mine! She can't be taken away by others!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a huge storm!

"Leafa is yours?"

Asuna also had a look of shock on her face.
