Chapter 151: Worthless Heroes
In the original book, Asuna has the title of "Asuna of Flash".
On the one hand, this title describes her beauty and heroism in battle, like a flash of light in the desperate world of SAO.
On the other hand, it comes from her iconic rapier [Flashing Light].
It can be said that the character of Asuna has been firmly bound to the weapon of the rapier in the minds of all the original party.
It's hard to imagine what a dagger-wielding Asuna, or a spearman, would be like in a discordant style.
Fortunately, Asuna herself seems to like the elegant and light weapon of the rapier, and after a few non-standard stabs, she decided to use it as her own weapon.
As is the case with many things, as soon as one person starts, it will be like priing open a crack in the embankment, and more and more people will follow in.
After all, those who are clamoring to return to the real world are only a part of the people, and most of them are women.
And the young male traversers among them, after learning that they could not return to the real world in the short term, whether active or passive, most of them quickly accepted the reality and stepped forward one after another to choose weapons and equipment.
There are also some more nimble minds who have begun to close to the traversers who seem to be stronger, and are ready to organize the team.
Of course, there are also a small number of male traversers who choose to stay in the town and work as humanoid seeders.
Maybe in the eyes of these people, there are so many men in the city, even if they draw lots, they may not be so unlucky to be their turn, but if they go out of the city to face those monsters that are said to be very snappy, they may not even get a blood in the first battle and completely kneel outside.
After a long time, when no one came out of the crowd, the princess knight "Alicia" looked at the time-travelers who had chosen to fight, which accounted for almost seventy percent of the total number, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's great to see so many people making the right choice...... Starting tomorrow, the Knights' training grounds in the city will be open to all of you, where instructors will be there to teach you how to use your weapons, as well as various combat techniques. โ
"Of course, if any of you are confident in your skills, you can also go out of the city now to defeat those monsters...... However, I suggest that before you go out of the city, it is best to read through the "Monster Illustrated Book" that we have distributed to each of you, which records the basic information of all common monsters below the 55th floor, so that you will not die in vain. โ
After saying this, the princess knight "Alicia" walked to the gorgeous carriage that had been waiting not far away, surrounded by guards.
As she passed in front of Luo Jie, she suddenly stopped, her thumb flicked up, and a shiny thing flipped in the air and landed in Luo Jie's hand.
It was a delicately crafted silver badge with an iris motif on it.
"You have done me a great favor today, and if you have any trouble, you can take this badge to the palace and find me...... Only once, though. โ
After speaking, the princess knight "Alicia" did not stop at Luo Jie's gaze, turned around and boarded the carriage directly.
ใIris Badgeใ
Quality: F (white)
Synopsis: The first princess of the Seven Shields Alliance, the personal token of Alicia, the "Princess Knight of Iris".
Well, it doesn't seem like it's any equipment, it's just a miscellaneous item.
Luo Jie could vaguely feel that he was probably triggering a precondition for a certain task, and this badge should be the key to starting an official mission.
However, he has no intention of digging deeper, after all, the ontology of this fantasy is "SAO", and the first heroine Asuna also appeared, how could he not pay attention to the main plot NPC, but instead make a big fuss about Princess Raushzi who came into it from an unknown anime?
Coincidentally, the blonde elf high priestess "Christine" also deliberately stopped in front of Luo Jie before leaving, and did not speak, but just showed a gentle smile very friendly.
No matter how wonderful the drama is, there will always be an end.
With the departure of the high priest and the princess, the crowd of citizens gradually dispersed, and only some idle children remained in place to play and play with their friends, and from time to time looked curiously at these legendary heroes from another world with innocent eyes.
Well, ten thousand at a time, the brave of this world are really worthless......
By this time, it was close to dusk, and the chimneys of many houses were already wafting with curling smoke, and the whole street of origin was enveloped in a rich aroma of toasted bread.
Luo Jie was indeed a little hungry at this time, anyway, the main quest this time was not in a hurry, so he decided to find a hotel to eat something first, and then make plans after resting for the night.
The traversers in the plaza with their weapons are busy organizing their teams, but most of them are targeting the sturdy men who seem to be fighting well, while the women who are also traversers are not interested for the time being.
Yes, it's just that no one cares.
It's not a game here.,It's impossible to resurrect easily even if you're dead.,The strength of your teammates directly determines your own survival rate.,Even the kind of people who are used to thinking with their lower bodies.,It's impossible to bring a burden that drags you back for the so-called "beauty favorite".
What's more, in terms of appearance conditions, these other-world beauties who have been genetically selected for hundreds of years are much more beautiful than the real-world women who were selected immediately...... After all, if you can't marry at all, you won't leave any offspring.
After rejecting the invitation of several traversers to form a team, Luo Jie subconsciously looked in the direction of the original Asuna, but he didn't expect that she was actually peeking over, looking at each other, and at this time, this little girl who was still very young suddenly made a big red face.
Luo Jie is not a CP party, and naturally he will not take into account the original hero Kirito who doesn't know if he has crossed over together, and took the initiative to step forward and say hello to Asuna.
"Hello, my name is Dire."
"Ah, you...... Hello! โ
Asuna subconsciously wanted to bow, but when she saw Luo Jie's outstretched hand, she hurriedly straightened up, hesitated slightly, and still blushed and shook Luo Jie's fingertips with five fingers.
"My name is Yuuki Asuka, please take care of me!"
After all, this is not the SAO complete stealth game in the original book, Asuna did not use the game nickname, but reported her original name, which made Luo Jie, who was used to the title "Asuna" in the original book, a little unaccustomed.
"Tomorrow Na...... Can I call you "Asuna"? Luo Jie decided to forcibly correct this little butterfly effect.
