The time spent waiting for the game to update is grinding, as no one knows exactly what kind of changes will be made to SAO.

And change is exactly what players don't want to see, because every time a new change occurs, it needs to be tested with life.

At SAO, information is valuable.

Any precious piece of information may have the blood of players behind it.

This is the experience and lesson that many players have exchanged for blood in the past, and it has become a consensus.

Not to mention ordinary people, even players who stand at the top such as Wings of Freedom are very worried.

Makino didn't know how to comfort him, because any comfort seemed very empty and false now.

The only thing Makino can do is ...... Immovable as a mountain!

As the leader of Freedom Wings, as long as he doesn't mess around, the other players can get some encouragement to a greater or lesser extent.

Between breaks, alone time.

Asuna suddenly stretched out her hands, stroked Makino's cheek and said, "I can't show my worries yet, it must be very hard." Makino, I will always support you! ”

Hearing Asuna's words, Makino's heart suddenly warmed.

Makino smiled, "Don't underestimate me, I'm very strong, very strong, and I can protect Asuna at any time!" ”

Asuna smiled, "I know, Makino is very strong, very strong. But it's not enough to protect me...... Makino, you have to protect yourself, too! ”

Asuna was never alone.

Even, she was worried that Makino would have a little more.

Because, Makino is the president of the wings of freedom, and he is the sustenance and hope of everyone.

And this is destined to make it impossible for Makino to escape!

Asuna is not afraid of Makino to fight, but she is afraid that Makino is too strong,

Makino didn't say anything more, reached out and put his arm around Asuna's waist, and the two of them pressed close together.

On the 74th floor of Ayn Grand, Cam Dietlin is lined with an intricate jungle of ancient trees and many light blue flowering grasslands.

The air quality is very good and the stars are shining at night.

The stars in the sky gathered together like a brilliant galaxy.

After marrying Asuna, Makino felt more and more deeply the fear, worry and anxiety of players in this death game.

Living on the verge of death at all times puts too much pressure on players.

This also caused the players' feelings to be extremely depressed, either not to explode, and once they broke out, they were out of control.

In the real world, it is basically impossible for a pure and fiery emotion like Asuna to appear.

But in the cage of SAO, everything becomes possible.

This also made Makino love and pity Asuna even more!

Looking at the starry sky and feeling the slight coolness of the breeze, the feelings accumulated in Mu Yuan's heart have a tendency to overflow.

At this time, a strong impulse suddenly arose in Mu Yuan's heart, and he was eager to share some of his past with Asuna.

Makino wanted to tell Asuna not to be afraid, really not to be afraid, he was really strong, very strong, very strong...... It's the kind of strong that can suppress a world.

And this is just one of his examination rooms, and Makino is fully confident and capable of protecting Asuna's safety!

However, Makino has scruples, or fears.

Because, Makino is afraid that his past will scare Asuna.

After thinking about it for a long time, Makino decided to give it a try.

Makino: "Asuna, if it'...... I said I was...... God, how do you feel? ”

Makino is a tree planter or a temporary worker, but if you want to say that he is a god, you can barely say it.

Asuna was stunned for a moment, and then Asuna stretched out her hand and put it on Makino's forehead to take her temperature.

Makino: "......"

Asuna is this feeling that he has a fever and then talking nonsense?

Is there such a thing as a fever in SAO?

Sure enough, this kind of thing is not very acceptable to Asuna, a girl who has been living in the world of technology!

Asuna: "You don't have a fever, and you're not the kind of person who likes to talk about it...... I suddenly have to believe, what should I do, what should Makino do? You won't think I'm overloaded with negative pressure and my brain is burned out! ”

Makino was immediately happy.

Asuna, how can you be so cute?

The topic passed like this, and Makino didn't mention it again.

It's really too unbelievable to say the identity.

However, after mentioning a word to Asuna, Mu Yuan felt like he had put down a big stone in his heart.

Makino even couldn't wait to see the end of the exam, Asuna's expression after he really confirmed his godhood.

It was going to be a lot of fun!

The clock ticks and ticks, minute by minute.

Makino and Asuna told each other about the past, for example, Makino told Asuna about living with his grandfather when he was a child.

This made Asuna very happy, and she only realized at this time that Makino still had such a lazy time.

This past, for Asuna, is completely subversive.

Because, the feeling that Makino gave Asuna has always been strong, confident, brave, and fearless, and it has nothing to do with salted fish or anything.

But.

Asuna unexpectedly likes to listen to Makino's past, even if it is something very insignificant, even a little boring, she finds it very interesting.

Perhaps, all this will help her get to know Makino better!

And Asuna also mentioned some of her past when she was a child, such as her grandparents who lived in the countryside, and her father who had a bit of tracheitis.

Speaking of this, Asuna is a little powerless to complain!

Her father is definitely the kind of elite who is very successful, and he is also the kind of person who is in the middle of the family, and her mother also behaves very much like a housewife at home.

But maybe it's because my mother is a university professor, and my father is sometimes really not as good as my mother in terms of aura, and he even made a lot of jokes.

Hearing Asuna talk about some things at home, Makino couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Poverty limits his imagination, and the environment in which he and Asuna grew up is really like two worlds.

Asuna has been receiving that kind of elite training since she was a child, and he is more like a wild boy who is free-range.

If it weren't for the coincidence, he and Asuna, the eldest lady, really wouldn't have the possibility of intersection.

Makino couldn't help but wonder how he would get his mother-in-law after returning to reality!

After all, he is in the real world and has no roots.

At that point, you may need to use an identity implant card......

Identity implant card, Makino has also accumulated some in the first few draws.

However, when the time comes, you still need to think about what kind of identity you want to arrange.

Time passed in this myriad of confusions, and when the clock turned past twelve o'clock, the bell rang at the same time on each floor of Ayn Grant.

For a while.

Every player couldn't help but stand up, even though it was all completely unnecessary.

Because Akihiko Kayaba has already said that the specific information of the update will be sent to each player's mailbox in the form of email.

Is it finally time to decide the life and death?

When the mailbox receipt reminder rang, everyone still opened the mailbox for the first time.

Makino clicked on the email casually, and a mass email came into view.

Dear Players,

Hello everyone!

I'm Akihiko Aoba, and first of all, I would like to express my heartfelt wishes to all the players who have come all the way to the present. Congratulations to everyone for completing the three-quarters floor of Ayn Grant.

Next, we will face the challenge of the last stage of SAO.

At this stage, SAO will usher in the following changes -

First, the rigidity system will be eliminated.

Players, mobs, and bosses will no longer have a mandatory stiffness time limit.

Second, all kinds of auxiliary occupations have been abolished, and the streamlining procedures have been abolished.

For example, the forging profession.

Whether the weapon is successfully forged or not, skill proficiency is no longer the only criterion.

The process of forging is not just a few hammers. From the selection of materials, configuration, forging, and cooling, the whole process of weapons needs to be operated by players themselves.

The same is true for culinary professions, where cooking is no longer just a few knives...... And so on.

Third, load the mind system.

The Mind system is officially loaded into the game system, and players can obtain their own mind skills by exploring on their own.

Specifically, it is manifested as: attack enhancement, defense enhancement, range enhancement, movement enhancement, and mental manifestation.

Fourth, it is up to the player to decide whether or not to use the sword assist system.

After canceling the sword skill support system, after taking the starting pose according to the skill, the system will no longer directly hit the monster according to the player's weapon according to the skill.

......

Have fun!

After reading the various payments and instructions in the email one by one, Makino probably had a spectrum in his heart.

I have to say, this game update, the content of the changes is really big.

In particular, the setting of "canceling the mandatory stiffness time" is subversive for the entire SAO player.

Because, all the monster fighting strategies that everyone is used to are basically based on the fact that bosses and wild monsters will fall into "forced stiffness".

As long as players have a strong sense of the game and can "block" in time when the wild monster makes a move, the damage of the wild monster will basically not be able to hit.

As for the "switch" strategy, it is also based on this.

In other words, in the future SAO strategy battles, the strategy of "switching" will no longer be so applicable.

The difficulty of the strategy boss will increase in a straight line, and the fierceness of the fight will also increase in a straight line.

SAO's combat system is closer to reality!

Don't say that it is someone else, for Makino, it has a considerable impact.

Because, SAO has never been a one-man game.

The ability values of the defending boss, mission boss, and wild boss are almost overwhelming for players.

If you encounter skills such as "stun", "knock away", and "paralysis", it will be even more fatal to players.

Even if it's Makino, it's a headache to encounter such a boss.

However, the abolition of the stiff time limit is not without benefits for Makino.

In a sense, this is actually equivalent to "untying" Makino, and the upper limit of what Makino can do has been greatly increased.

The space of the Makino Shu technique has expanded!

Loading the Mind System, which also means that the "Mind Technique" ability is more perfect.

Overall, it's a good thing.

Because, the probability of players in the strategy group getting the mind skill has been greatly increased, and the overall strength of the strategy group will usher in an increase.

However, for Makino, it may also be a limitation.

Because, when the mind system is loaded, there must be a setting border.

As for where the limit of this framework is, Makino doesn't know yet, and he still needs to continue to explore.

What Makino cares about the most is the embodiment of the mind of the mind system, which is a kind of unknown to Makino.

As for deciding whether to use the sword assist system or not, it basically doesn't have much impact on ordinary players.

This is because the probability of players canceling the sword assist system is almost zero.

There is no other reason, since the start of the SAO service, everyone has become accustomed to this model.

And the power of habit, that's powerful!

For Makino, the impact was real.

The abolition of the sword assist system also means that the game is closer to reality, and the ceiling of the game has been raised again.

Makino may be able to further unblock some of the abilities and skills he has learned in other worlds!

For example, shaves, flying slashes, and the like.

However, these still need to be further verified by Makino.

Because the shaving and flying slashes are outside the rules of the SAO, it is almost impossible to do it.

But.

The loading of the mind system may make all this impossible possible.

Makino couldn't help but think about it, and wanted to know how far this mental system could allow him to go.

The only thing that Makino doesn't understand is why the various sub-classes have canceled the streamlining process.

It's an absolute nightmare for production players.

It's hard to imagine that a player like Lizzebet wants to forge a weapon in the future, but needs to forge it bit by bit, just like in the real world.

Makino can foresee that in the later strategies of SAO, players may even lack weapons, armor and other props.

At SAO, weapons require daily maintenance.

Even if it's the [magic sword] obtained by fighting monsters, there is a limit to its durability, and once it is not maintained enough, the slippage of various values is inevitable.

The problem that Makino considered, Asuna also considered, and she couldn't help but worry.

"Makino, what do you mean by Akihiko Kayaba? For me, it's not unacceptable to cook a dish in an hour. On the contrary, more fun! ”

"However, it is too hardcore to let players make equipment little by little...... It feels like a return to a primitive society from the future world! ”

Asuna's words were like a bolt of lightning slicing through Makino's mind.

Makino has not forgotten that the world of Sword Art Online is his regular assessment.

So is this incomprehensible change the key to passing this assessment?

The more Makino thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible!

Did the examiner who asked the question want to tell Makino something through this change?

An abrupt return to primitive society from the futuristic world...... Makino kept chewing on Asuna's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the taste.

Returning to the original from the future, the advantage is huge.

Even if it is an ordinary person in the future, he can beat all primitive people in terms of knowledge.

But.

The future man is also absolutely broken!

Because, most of the convenience of the future will be gone.

Even if he had all the technical information of the future, it was very unlikely that he would restore it in the primitive society.

Not to mention the advanced civilization of the singer god race, which no longer knows where to go, take the earthlings as an example.

A young man living in the 21st century, if he returns to a primitive society, he may not even be able to solve the problem of electricity.

As for the powerful civilization of the Singer Protoss, which has even eliminated electricity, after returning to the primitive, it may be more restricted.

For Makino, the Singer Protoss is undoubtedly powerful and mysterious.

A cleaner can throw two-way foil at will, but he, a temporary tree planter, can shuttle through the major dimensional worlds.

The purpose of traveling through the world is to collect energy and plant the World Tree!

At this moment, Makino couldn't help but think a lot.

What does the Courtyard of the Gods, and the Great Desert beyond, represent?

And why do Protoss need tree planters to plant the World Tree?

Simply need to protect the environment?

Makino can't help but think of the projects that transformed the environment such as tree planting in his previous life!

The premise of environmental transformation is that the deterioration of the environment affects the survival of human beings.

Could it be that the Singer Protoss has also encountered an "environmental crisis"?

No way!

Makino felt a little hard to believe, after all, the Protoss was really too powerful for Makino, so powerful that Makino couldn't even understand it.

It's like the world of death, such a powerful slashing knife, and the singer god clan can solve it with a dream of love.

And this kind of dream love is still donated by ordinary people within the Protoss.

Ordinary people can donate it, and it will definitely not be too high-end.

Is it true that such a powerful Protoss lacks the means to deal with the crisis?

Makino said that he could not understand something.

Return to the original ...... from the future Return to the original ...... from the future

Constantly chewing on what Asuna said, Makino had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

What is behind this question?

It's a real headache!

Vision determines thinking, and Makino knows too little about the singer god clan after all.

Makino couldn't help but think of a joke he saw in his previous life-

Humans always toss bread crumbs near ant nests, and ant theologians observed this phenomenon and established the "Bread Worship".

Doctrine – Bread is given by the gods, and bread will appear as long as prayer is prayed sincerely.

Later, humans stopped putting bread crumbs, and no matter how much the ants prayed for bread, the bread would not appear.

As ants questioned the gods, the Enlightenment began, and countless ant scientists emerged.

The ants observed their nest and found that it was housed in a glass tank.

As a result, the ants named their homes "Earth" and the glass that encloses the glass Earth "Atmosphere".

Ants observed the human dwelling and named it "Universe".

The ants observed the light bulb and named it the sun; The switch was observed, naming it the singularity;

The presence of human beings, sometimes quiet, sometimes causes drastic changes in the structure of the universe, which the ants named "cosmic storms......

The ants summarized the "first law of the universe" - cosmic storms are random and unpredictable, and each observation of cosmic storms will lead to different conclusions.

The ants summed up the "second law of the universe" - every time a cosmic storm sweeps past the singularity, the sun disappears, and every time a cosmic storm sweeps the singularity again, the sun appears.

Now, the ants have observed that the light bulb is glassy, and the ants have named the new substance "solar wall".

After careful comparison by ant scientists, the ants proved that the "solar wall" and the "atmosphere" that surrounds the nest are the same substance.

This astonishing discovery made the world of ants boil.

Ant scientists have proposed the "Universe Birth Hypothesis" through the internal connection between the solar wall and the atmosphere—the universe is a large glass, and suddenly one day the glass explodes, and part of the glass material forms the sun, and the other part of the glass material forms the earth.

However, another segment of ant scientists has questioned this hypothesis.

It doesn't explain the two strange phenomena of the cosmic storm and the singularity!

Then ant scientists observed window glass, and from this they came up with the hypothesis of the multiverse and the infinity of the universe.

Ant scientists observed the fish tank, confirmed the existence of other planets, and hypothesized that glass might be a constraint on their movements.

Ants observed the door of the human dwelling, which sometimes opened and sometimes closed, and ant scientists proposed the hypothesis of black and white holes.

If you pass through a white hole, you may come out of the black hole at the other end and reach an unknown world, or another universe......

This joke once impressed Makino very deeply, and now Makino feels like an ant in a glass cover.

Because of the limitation of vision, all the speculations made, or based on guesses, confirmed to be the existence of "truth", may be very ridiculous for the singer gods.

Makino couldn't help but feel his insignificance again!

However, this kind of thing can only be carefully verified by himself.

After all, he has become a member of the Singer Protoss, and he has obtained the qualification to become a tree planter, which must be meaningful for the Protoss!

However, Makino doesn't need to dwell too much on these now, after all, there are too few information and clues available, and any speculation and speculation are too large.

"Makino...... Makino...... Are you okay? ”

Asuna looked at Makino with some concern, because after she had just said a word, Makino fell into a long deep thought.

Moreover, the distress that Makino showed from time to time made Asuna feel very scared.

Seeing Asuna's expression, Makino was stunned and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry for worrying you." Let me teach you how to stimulate and use the mind system! ”

Hearing Makino's words, Asuna was immediately shocked, and then she was completely surprised.

"Makino, do you already know what's going on with the mind system? It's amazing, teach me quickly! ”

As she spoke, Asuna reached out and grabbed Makino's arm and shook it very coquettishly.

Asuna's performance made Makino uneasy.

No wonder some people say that even men can't resist the temptation of Japanese girls, and in Asuna, Makino feels this completely.

While being gentle and virtuous, when he is surprised and surprised, he does not shy away from expressing his admiration.

In terms of expression, it is generally very exaggerated, and not only that, but there will also be some physical contact at the right time, which makes people think about it.

The trouble of people is to be a teacher, not to mention, the "thirsty for knowledge" is still such a delicate beauty.

Who can stop this?

Makino thought for a moment and said, "Asuna, what do you think the Mind Technique is?" ”

"Mind Technique?"

Asuna thought for a moment and said, "As the name suggests, it should be related to the mind, and the effect is a gain, it should be attitude, determination and the like!" ”

"Nice summary."

Hearing Makino's praise, Asuna immediately smiled.

Makino: "However, this alone will not allow you to successfully awaken the mind technique...... Someone once summed up the mind technique as 'the wound of the heart', and the deeper the scar, the higher the degree of amplification. ”

"Heartbreak?"

Asuna frowned, isn't this a good thing?

Just listening to it made her feel a little resistant.

Makino: "Actually, this kind of summary is not comprehensive enough, in my opinion, the mind technique should be a manifestation of 'enlightenment'!" ”

"Enlightenment?"

"Yes. Take a chestnut, Asuna, why are you drawing your sword? And why fight? And what drives you to be strong? And by injecting these realizations like belief into your sword, you will feel that your sword will become heavier and more powerful! ”

Hearing Makino's words, Asuna's beautiful eyes first became cold, and then slowly softened.

Especially trapped in SAO, the experience of nearly a year is more like a movie, constantly passing through her mind.

Especially after thinking back to the scene of meeting, acquaintance, and marriage with Makino, Asuna's face suddenly showed a warm smile.

Sonor!

With a crisp sound, Asuna directly pulled out the thin sword pinned to her waist and flickered with light.

And at this moment, Makino suddenly felt that Asuna's body emitted an unusually soft golden light.

The moment he was illuminated by the golden light, Makino felt an unprecedented warmth.

It's like the sun is basking in the sun, and Makino even feels warm all over his body.

"It's ......"

Feeling the warmth transmitted by Asuna, Makino was stunned.

Asuna, this is a bit too genius, isn't it?

Even if SAO loads the mind system, even if it has its own teachings, the speed at which Asuna comprehends the mind technique is inevitably too fast.

Asuna is indeed the most genius in SAO!

It has to be said that mortals sometimes really can't understand the world of geniuses.

Among the many high-end players in the current SAO, Asuna is definitely an alternative.

Makino, in reality, is the big guy who crosses the heavens;

Kirito, the cheater, the little expert in the game;

Even Klein used to be the leader of a game guild.

And Asuna, SAO was the first large-scale game she officially played, and even the game helmet was borrowed from her brother.

However, what made Makino care more was the warmth transmitted by the light on Asuna's body.

What Asuna carries in the sword may be "gentle love", and the love for Makino still accounts for the vast majority.

It is rare to be heroic, and it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties.

Makino is hard to describe moving!

......

The impact of the game version update is huge, and all the floors of Ayn Grant have inevitably undergone some turmoil.

Especially for production players, this is a bolt from the blue.

Some blacksmiths did not believe it, and immediately launched an experiment.

Then, to their astonishment, they found that they could once forge a good weapon in a minute, but now they couldn't even sift through the ore in a minute.

As for the furnace temperature, beating, and quenching that need to be controlled in the forging process, they all need to control it little by little.

It's so hard!

Production players even have the feeling that they want to eat an egg, but they need to raise a chick first.

The gaming experience is extremely poor!

The second effect of this change is that players are collectively falling behind in their equipment.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the shop opened by the NPC craftsman can continue to provide services.

However, the price of the NPC's shop is notoriously black.

As a result, everyone found that the Kell at their disposal in their pockets plummeted!

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone's enthusiasm for the strategy floor.

As for the cancellation of the "forced stiffness" setting, it made the entire SAO wail, which was tantamount to a dimensionality reduction blow.

The atmosphere in the whole SAO even went back to the month when the "SAO Correct Play" was just announced.

There is no time limit for stiffness, and players can't even call it a monster farming, but can only call it a "fight".

This is a blow to the confidence of the players, and it is fatal.

A remark about the impossibility of SAO being raided began to circulate unconsciously!

An extreme hedonism also became popular.

The entire middle and lower levels of SAO have begun to become extreme and negative.

Don't say it's the middle and low-level, and even the strategy group is panicked.

The only fortunate thing is probably the loading of the mind system.

In particular, Makino's exposition and analysis of the mental system constantly appeared in various information and newspapers.

This also adds a touch of color to the SAO world, which has once again become uncertain.

In particular, Makino's sentence "why draw the sword" is even more widely spread.

However, after all, there is only one touch of bright color, and the scope that can be illuminated is limited after all.

Soon after, the players in the strategy group found out again that even in the strategy group, there are only a few people who can comprehend the mind skill.

Moreover, even if you comprehend the mind technique, the strength and weakness are completely different.

Thereupon.

The players in the strategy group found that some of the players who usually tend to paddle began to rise, while some fell further.

The rise is gratifying, but the heart of the fall is inevitably resentful.

In short, this game update does not make the game more balanced, on the contrary, the game SAO has become more unbalanced.

The strong have become stronger, and the weak have become weaker.

What is this?

It has to be said that this change is cruel!

......

The main street area on the 75th floor of Ayn Grant is called Corinia, and it is all built in the Romanesque style.

The streets are made of white limestone cut into four corners.

Along with the temple-style buildings and the wide waterway, it is a huge arena that stands in front of the transfer gate.

Since the game has been upgraded, there has been a constant stream of players in the arena, and everyone has been working very hard to adapt to the changes brought by the new version.

If you just look at the players who are active in the arena, you will definitely feel the vitality of the place.

This also once again confirms a truth - the strong are always strong!

The stronger the one, the more resilient it is to change, and the weaker will eventually be eliminated.

Since the heart system was launched, the battles in the arena have undoubtedly enriched a lot of highlights.

Of course, top players like Makino, Kirito, and Asuna are undoubtedly the most frequent in the arena.

Everyone is trying to adapt to this new world after the change!

Don't say it's someone else, even Makino has a surging feeling in his heart when he sees such a picture.

Struggling, stubbornly resisting, is undoubtedly painful.

But the process of this struggle is undoubtedly splendid and beautiful.

Although this body is a 3D model, a pile of numbers, Makino feels an unprecedented heartbeat.

It seems that this is the place where you are truly alive.

Thinking of this, Makino suddenly felt dumbfounded.

This may be how lonely it feels to be invincible!

"Makino, let's have a PK between the two of us!" Kirito said suddenly.

Makino was slightly stunned, a little incredulous, "Are you sure?" ”

PK is not a trivial matter in SAO!

What's more, Makino and Kirito have no reason to PK.

Kirito was resolute, "I'm sure! ”

"Why?"

Kirito smiled, "Do you need a reason to challenge you, the first swordsman of SAO?" ”

Makino was stunned.

Is this really what Kirito would say?

Kirito in Makino's acquaintance is not such a flamboyant character.

The mood is more introverted.,The personality is also very gentle.,Very friendly to everyone...... Battle maniacs don't look like Kirito!

Sensing Makino's confusion, Kirito smiled instead, "The loading of the mind system makes me scared at the same time, and my heart inevitably throbs...... I want to feel the joy of playing the game again! ”

"The joy of playing games?"

Makino couldn't help but be stunned, it was indeed very incredible to hear such words at this stage when SAO entered this stage.

Immediately, Makino felt that he could understand again.

In a way, this is indeed a very Kirito.

Because,Kirito, this guy,But the existence that dares to sleep outside openly.。

Kirito's PK request, Makino agreed!

......

The arena, which was already extremely lively, became more lively than ever again because of the appearance of Makino and Kirito.

Because, the two players standing in the arena are both the top players in SAO at present.

After the mind system is loaded, the strength of these two players is even more unbeatable.

Looking at the two people on the field, everyone rejoiced.

Because, this is the most interesting battle after the battle between Makino and Akihiko Kayaba.

on the arena.

Makino looked at Kirito and smiled, "Kirito, are you really sure you want to fight me?" ”

Kirito carried the twin swords on his back, his face solemn and determined, "Of course, I want to confirm the gap between me and you!" ”

That's right, Kirito has long wanted to fight with Makino.

Regardless of identity, grievances, or reasons, Kirito just wants to have a fight with Makino.

It's like a call from the blood and the soul!

Especially when the mind system is loaded, Kirito's thoughts are even more irrepressible.

Maybe it's just that you just want to enjoy the feeling of fighting with a master like Makino!

Seeing the resolute Kirito, Makino suddenly smiled.

"Kirito, what is it that you carry in your sword?"

What is it that carries in his sword?

Makino's statement really stopped Kirito.

After the real gameplay of SAO was announced, all he thought about was to live, and he must live.

Then, he met Makino, and then he founded Wings of Freedom with Makino, and has fought all the way to this day.
