The city of the sunset, in the middle of the city's big black library.

Yuuki Asuna came to class today as always.,Her life is very fulfilling.,During the day, she takes classes or conducts daily activities in her own world.,Occasionally go to her father's company to act as a "game designer"——

The main thing is to pick up the interesting parts of her growing occult knowledge and turn it into the content of the most popular next-gen game in her world.

Then it will often be well received and aroused by countless players.

And the game that her father's company led and operated has now been promoted around the world, almost becoming an integral part of the lives of hundreds of millions of people, and has become a veritable "second world".

The main reason is that "using sleep time for games" and "technical application of deep dreams" and other black technologies have been revealed one after another, forcing many people to devote themselves to the pit of VRMMORPG, a complete virtual reality game, in order to extend their life in disguise and indirectly.

Then, these people quickly became unable to extricate themselves.

The "real", "hardcore" and cumbersome operations that reflect the details at the beginning of the game are all criticized. But after immersing yourself in it, one discovers why that game is called the "Second World".

There are also those complete and rigorous story backgrounds, plot settings, etc., which make many people completely intoxicated, lingering, and fascinated to explore the history and secrets of that world.

There are countless people who suffer and become addicted, and they have to fight all kinds of terrible and difficult monsters for 300 rounds every day, and they are still unsatisfied after dying several times.

This also made the girl feel a little embarrassed, and felt a little unable to understand what was going on with those people.

But today, she is also obviously facing a somewhat troublesome problem, and she is still a little happy when she sees someone's figure no longer late, but uncharacteristically waiting for her.

Later, in the face of a strange plan proposed by the other party, she was very moved and refused.

……

……

"Don't!"

Faced with the god's enthusiastic proposal, the chestnut-colored girl with long straight hair decisively shook her head and refused.

If it was at that time before, she was cautious and insecure, then she would definitely agree without hesitation, just like a beginner swimmer who is afraid of drowning, and clutches to any straw around her that may save her life.

But now it's different, maybe it's because of the increase in understanding of someone, maybe it's because the relationship between the two parties is different, anyway, she's definitely not the girl who was nervous and insecure because of Wonderland before.

She is now very familiar with the city of the sunset, and she is also one of the earliest inhabitants of the sea within the stars, and she is no ordinary human girl for a long time-

Under Mo Chen's personal guidance and teaching, he not only mastered profound crystallization magic, as well as some other miracles, spells and other magical powers, but also studied mystical knowledge such as soul science and invested a lot of ability points.

With the guidance of a famous teacher, coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of resources, and the loading of this DLC in the "Age of Mythology", it has brought dozens or hundreds of times more powerful source magic to this world, pure and high, and there are not too many impurities......

Now, Asuna Yuuki, as a magician, has also entered the third rank.

- It's not just the external factors that help, the internal factors also have to be calculated, and they must be important reasons. After all, it's also the protagonist's qualifications and destiny.,It's a strange thing if there's no open performance.。

And that's just a sign of its growth.

But it's also because the girl has grown up and is not the girl she used to be, so she decisively rejected someone's obviously uneasy and kind proposal.

Anyway, she is very secure now, and she no longer needs to carefully speculate on the other party's intentions, and carefully disguise her identity...... And most importantly, she is already very familiar with someone.

It is necessary to know that distance can produce beauty, whether it is temporal distance, spatial distance or psychological distance, and familiarity and understanding are necessary factors to destroy all idols.

It is precisely because they are unattainable or unattainable that people feel that idols have all kinds of special places, such as a certain stereotype that ordinary people at the bottom often have about the emperor who rules the country...... But if you can directly contact the people around the emperor, you will definitely not have such a feeling.

In the same way, when Yuuki Asuna first came into contact with Mo Chen, she didn't have any specific and familiar cognition.

The knowledge is nothing more than some very superficial labels, such as "king", "godkiller", "overlord", etc., so preconceived notions are naturally conceivable.

At that time, in addition to the girl's full sense of awe and a trace of curiosity, she probably felt that she needed to stay away from such a demon king as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

But now, she is no longer as "naïve" as she was at the beginning, and her understanding and relationship with Mo Chen have been greatly improved - strictly speaking, she is still the first person taught by the other party himself, and the only apprentice at present - so naturally there is not so much awe and caution that should not be there.

"What do you mean by being uneasy and kind?" Mo Chen's eyebrows raised, Yuki Asukana's refusal was not unexpected by him, but he still wanted to convince the girl as much as possible, "I just think that you have gone wrong on the path of mage, and I just want to correct your mistakes." ”

"Gone crooked? What's going wrong? ”

The chestnut-colored girl with long straight hair tilted her head slightly, and unconsciously bought a cute, but her expression did look a little confused.

"Ahem...... Mo Chen pretended to cough a few times, cleared his throat, stretched out his slender index finger and tapped the table in front of him a few times, "As a mage, you only have mastered the spell ability now, and the melee ability still has too many deficiencies." ”

"This is indeed ......" Thinking about it seriously, Yuuki Asuna couldn't refute it, she found that although she had mastered magical magical powers, she only had the means of biubiubiu.

And I don't have any actual combat experience.,The only thing that can be called actual combat is in the game world of SAO.,I left the town to fight monsters a few times in the early stage.,But these game experiences only have some reference meaning at most.,Can't be fully applied to the real world.。

Therefore, if she was close to someone, she really didn't know how to deal with that situation.

But the girl was still not convinced: "But I don't have to fight, you have never assigned me any tasks, right?" ”

And when she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful, especially when she thought of the two good friends she first met in this world, Erica and Liliana-

In the past few months, the two of them have been so busy that they can't stop, and they can't see each other a few times a month, which is in stark contrast to her.

Although she understands that this is because she lacks ability and experience, she is simply not enough to be entrusted with the task, and her status is also a problem, neither a knight who swears allegiance to the gods, nor a magician under her command who pays tribute to her subordinates.

It's just an ordinary girl who was allowed to stay because she strayed into the Divine Domain......

However, understanding is one thing, acceptance is another, and what people are most worried about is often not being able to find their own position and not being able to reflect their own value...... And the more you care about your current state, the more you don't want to lose.

So she is also a little desperate to do something to prove her ability.

"Ahem, we'll talk about this later, we're talking about the mage's route now, do you understand?"

Mo Chen waved his hand and asked aggressively.

"Are you full of life and stamina? Basic skills of one-handed sword mastery, two-handed sword mastery, heavy weapon mastery have you ordered? Have you learned about Action Skills such as blocking, charging, whirlwind slashing, critical hits, etc.? ”

“…… No, no. Asuna's momentum was suddenly frightened, and she leaned back slightly, as if she was a little cringe, "But does the mage need these skills?" ”

She always felt that something was wrong.

"Of course you need to, didn't you notice that Erica and Liliana both worked part-time as knights as witches and magicians?" Mo Chen said quite firmly, his tone was extremely convincing, "Simple magicians are rare, and only spell skills are not enough......"

Asuna blinked, and although she still instinctively felt that something was wrong, she vaguely felt that it seemed to make sense.

Mainly because the other party is the real authority of the occult, and even the ultimate existence of the mystery itself, and the examples given are inevitably a little too positive, and the girl can't find a reason to oppose it.

If you think about it, it seems that this is really the case, even Erica and Liliana are both magicians and knights, and in addition to their spell skills, their physical fitness and athleticism are also like supermen......

It seems that as a magician, it is terrible not to add strength, it is sad to add strength without agility, and it is shameful to add agility without physique.

……

……

At the same time.

The location is in Athens, Greece.

At sunset, the golden sunset shines on Syntagma Square, making it particularly spectacular.

And all day today, there was no changing of the guard in Syntagma Square, and instead in the center of the empty square, there was a large group of people standing in the black press. They clearly do not look like professional military men, which is evident from the face of it.

Whether they are occupations, or origins, whether they are skin color, or age, whether they are gender or hobbies, anyway, even height, weight, blood type, and constellation can hardly find much in common.

There are not only teenagers, but also middle-aged men in their forties, and some soft and weak girls.

There are soldiers, but they are a very small number of individuals, so don't expect them to be very neat, and honestly it would be nice to be quiet and in a square.

- The chessboard battlefield of the gods is about to begin.

Miss Chai Ying had only one thought left in her mind, she put on her heroic military uniform and looked at the eighty-eight men and women from different countries around the world in front of her.
