Yahiro blinks and shakes himself off just in case he wasn't fully immersed yet. This is the first time he's ever tried the NerveGear and he doesn't fully know how it works. As soon as he gets his bearings, he tests out his menu, following the basic instructions from the game's user manual. He swiped his hand downward and a tab-based menu appears by his hand. He fumbles a bit, then navigates to the character menu and looks around, first settling on the weapon skills menu: <<One Handed Sword>>, <<One Handed War Hammer>>, and some other skills, but his eyes settle on one particular skill <<One Handed Curved Sword>>. He didn't see any katana skills, but figured it must be some sort of mastery-type skill like in other MMORPG's

And with that, he receives his beginner sword, a slightly curved short sword. He thought it'd be more curved, but this is the beginner sword, so he'll have to deal with it. He shrugs and looks around again. Blue lights continue to flash in different directions, but most of the other players already got settled, some are socializing, some are exploring and some are straight up gone, probably outside fighting monsters. All he had to do was decide if he wanted to talk with strangers or experience combat first.

He decides to start heading for the outside to try out the combat. As he jogs, he spots a pink-haired girl, now as he started, he'd notice that there were a lot of girls, and all of them were really attractive, but this girl was attractive in a way that could only happen inside a game. She's slender, but also tall, while her face was cute, but also almost seductive, and as mentioned before, she had pink hair.

Yahiro stops in his tracks and debates talking with her, she might just be a man in real life, Sword Art, like other MMO's allowed your avatar to be whatever gender regardless of real life. Whatever, this girl is really attractive and if he didn't make his move, other guys would probably already flock to her, it's in-game anyway, real life didn't matter. He walks up to her and stands there, only after a moment did he realize he needed to speak. "I, uhh, hello." That said as stiffly as his body language was. He is nervous, but he needs to relax a bit. He clears his throat again and smiles, "hello,"
