Umichi noticed the man who jumped from the edge, not coming back. Damn it, don't be so foolish as to try. If you can program a world like this, creating a program to override the NerveGear's microwave limitator would be simple . While the girl who was with him, had yet to introduce herself, she started attacking a frenzied boar. She was panicking and becoming restless. There were boars on her rear, he kicked them and sliced them with ease, getting to level 3. Only a few got to level 3 so far. He wanted to stay ahead.
"You should calm down" he said turning to her.
She seemed to take a deep breath and calmed herself a little.
"I'm sorry about that. I'm Sh-Suki" she then extended her hand.
Umichi did likewise and shook her hand. "Not sure if you heard me before, but I'm Umichi."
He let go of the hand, and pointed to the west. (I am basing the idea the next town is west since it appeared west on SAO anime)
"We need to go over there, I was pretty close to it before I came back to the Town of Beginnings to complete this quest." Umichi pointed to his sword, the Annneal Blade. He had yet to enchant it, but he would enchant it with Sharpness, Durability and a little Quickness. "We will need to get through some Little Nepents and probably Dire Wolves. If we don't wonder too much in the forest, we won't have to fight any Large Nepents I saw."
He swiped down with his right hand to create a menu. Clicking a few things, he added Suki as a friend, and then invited her to a party.
"We should party and watch each others backs."
Once he said this, he got a good look at her. She was beautiful, with her long blonde hair. Her small stature, enameled him, and he started to blush before he realized. Because she was small, it made Umichi want to protect her. Although she was actually older than him, which he had yet to find out.
"We should be careful in the forest though, the Nepents seem to fight in groups. I can handle them fine now, but you should be careful, we will switch if you catch some aggro ok?" He smiled to her.
Umichi then started walking, taking the lead to the forest, when he heard someone bump into Suki. He turned around, and could see a guy with black hair had bumped Suki and she fell. Umichi helped her up. The man introduced himself to the girl. He was called Light. He asked Suki for her name. It seems he was going to ignore Umichi. "Her name's Suki, and I'm Umichi." he interjected, since it seemed like he was being ignored, giving a slight stare. His face seemed familiar. A kid possibly from school? He couldn't be sure. "Anyway, you should watch where you're ...."
A pack of three frenzied boars were charging their way from behind Light. Umichi drew his sword, and grabbed a pebble. Activating the weapon skill "Single Shot". He threw a pebble, and hit the front boar. which collapsed tripping the other two boars. Umichi rushed to the front, there were no other boars or enemies around it seemed. Good He couldn't quite yet activate another sword skill, but as he reached the two boars, spun around, cutting both twice in quick recession. The boar that had been hit by the pebble started to stand. He sliced it, finishing it off. His reactions were quick. This happened in incredibly quickly. It looked like a well experienced player. This was just something he learnt to do. Through his ninjutsu, he learned that adapting and always going for the next thing were important. He had adapted to the game mechanics fairly quickly, but it was not enough yet.
"As I was saying, watch where you're going" Umichi finished off his sentence walking back to Light and Suki. "We are about to head to the next town, and need to get through the forest. If we happen to bump into Large Nepents, that would be trouble with just two of us. You wanna join us Light?"
