3rd Pov

Suguha: Come on, Y/N, hurry up!

Y/N: Slow down will you?

A girl can be seen, running and stopping as she looks behind to wait for her friend who is walking slowly, taking his time.

Y/N: -10 points.

Suguha: E-Eh?!

Y/N: One. Not being cautious. You could've tripped while running. Two. So what if a bread was sold out? Just buy another one.

Suguha: S-sorry, but the sandwiches are special! They only make those today!

Y/N: Alright, alright, I get it.

This boy, is known as Y/N Ikeda, 16 years old, President of the Kendo Club. Also known as a Martial Art freak. In every conversation, he'll always bring at least one martial arts topic up. Not much can keep up with him. Only those who take part in any martial arts club can get along with him well with no problem at all. Y/N has brought up the name of his school in every Kendo competition, making his school one of the most well known for it's achievement in Kendo. He's also known to be a strict senior, giving extra training, but shows some soft spot sometimes. They also call gave him the nickname "Reincarnated Toshizo". Other than Kendo, he learns Kenjutsu and Taihojutsu during his free time.

They reach at the bakery shop and start to pant. Suguha quickly got the sandwich. (Remember the sandwich from Jojo part 4? That one that Kira fingers with a hand? That's the one.) She quickly bought it and they got outside. There's only one left though.

Suguha: Umm. Ikeda senpai. You can have it.

Y/N: I've ate. You can have it. And -1 point. You forgot what I told you

Suguha: E-Eh?! That too?! Oh.... B-but... I want you taste it... I brought you here just so that you can have a taste of it...

Y/N: It's alright, I'll just get one myself next time. You can have it.

Suguha: *smiles* Promise me, ok!

Y/N: Promise.

Suguha: Hehe, I'll ask you what's the ingredients they use just to see whether you did eat it or not!

Y/N: Oi. That's too much.

Suguha finished her sandwich and they start walk home. Y/N and Suguha chat while walking and talking about improving stance and techniques in Kendo. When they are crossing the road, a car came speeding towards them!

Y/N: Sugu! Watch out!

*Crash!*

Y/N Pov

*GASP* It's that nightmare again... I sit up and look around my room, that is filled with posters of cars and bands... I took a deep breath and stand up and walk towards my desk where I put my prosthetic arm. I wear it and look at the pictures that I took when I'm still at school. That incident... that happen last year. I look at my shelf, filled with trophies from each competition that I participate. But now... it's all meaningless... I look at the clock to see that it's 5:30 p.m. I walk out of my room and towards the kitchen.

I reach the kitchen and saw a note stick to the refrigerator. It's from mom.

*I'm so sorry honey, I'm not coming back until midnight. I have to attend my friend's wedding. Same goes to your dad too. He have some more work to do in the workshop. Don't worry, dinner is in the fridge, so you can heat it up! Have a good time!*

I smile a little. Mom is a clerk and dad is a law enforcement officer. Guess he'll stay back training huh? I heat up my dinner, clean up, eat up and went back straight to bed and wear my NerveGear. Ever since I lost my arm, I've been so depressed about it. But then, SAO came along, I became a beta tester, and it's great to see that my left arm is working there. That's the only reason I play SAO.

Y/N: Link Start...

* Timskip*

I'm currently farming some monsters with my weapon. A set of Daisho.

A monster charged at me but I countered it by pivoting my left foot to go around the attack before decapitating it with my shoto (short sword)

I swipe finger down to press the log out button but it isn't there?

Vagabond: What the-

I got teleported to a big center area. I look around to see a lot of people here too. Are all the players here?! And why is the sky red?

Guy: Oh my god! What is that?!

Out of nowhere, a humongous cloaked figure appeared in front of us and they start to question it.

*Timeskip brought to you by *OH MY GOD! WE'RE GONNA DIE FOR REAL!*

No way... we're gonna die for real...?

Kayaba: Also, I've left a special item in you inventory. And also, I've given a handicap to a certain player.

I look into my inventory and saw item which is a mirror. And I saw a exclamation mark at the skills. I open it to see a new skill called Kirin. I take the mirror and look at it. Suddenly, I've change from my avatar, into my real face!

???: Y/N?

I look to see Kazuto Kirigaya, Suguha's cousin.

Vagabond: Kazuto?

???: Wait, you guys know each other?!

Kirito: Yeah. He is my senior from high school.

???: Oh, I see, but we gonna think of something! Or else we gonna die!

Kirito: Y/N. Why are you here?

Vagabond: ... None of your business.

Kirito: It's... About your arm... Isn't it?

Vagabond: So what about it? *tries to move left arm but failed* What? What happen?! Why can't I move my left arm?!

???: Kirito, did something happen to his left arm?

Kirito: Yes. He lost his arm in an accident last year. Y/N, Suguha is worried about you.

Vagabond: I'm fine. She should worry about herself.

Kirito: No. You're not. Sugu said that right after the incident, you've went quiet. You stop going for club activities. You even give up the position of President of the club. Tell me. Is it because of your arm?

Vagabond: So what if it is? So what if it's about my arm? Like I'll be any of use anymore.

Kirito: No, you're not. In Sugu's eyes, your a great teacher-

Vagabond: YOU DON'T GET IT! The skills that I have honed, mastered, polish for years with my sweat and blood... Gone! ALL FUCKING GONE! Do you know how much pain it is?! To lose something that you hold with pride?! Do you?!

Kirito: ...

Vagabond: That's what I thought.

Kirito: Grow up...

Vagabond: What did you-

Suddenly, I get socked in the face.

???: O-Oi! Kirito! Calm down-

Kirito: GROW THE FUCK UP Y/N IKEDA! Are you gonna sit in your house and sulk all day about your lost arm?! It's gone now! It ain't never coming back! But, you are Y/N Ikeda! The man known as the Reincarnated Toshizo! You said this before... And I still remember until now. "So what if you've lost something that you put your pride in? Keep going forward and don't sulk about it! Grow up and live on! Thing's bout to happen anyway! So suck it up!" This is what you said to us! To all of us! To all of your members! How can you forget about it?!

I look at him as I think. Yes... I can sulk about my lost arm all day... Hell. Even some masters in martial arts can fight well with a lost limb. Just what am I thinking?

Vagabond: ... You're right. It's time for me to grow up.

Kirito: Good. And um... Sorry that I punched you.

Vagabond: It's fine. I need a wake up call. So. Where are we heading?

Kirito: Huh?

Vagabond: Exp and such. You know where right?

Kirito: Y-Yes! Why all the sudden?

Vagabond: Can't leave a junior worry you know?

Kirito: I see. Klein! Are you coming with us?

Klein: I'm... Gonna have to decline. My friends need me. They must be back at the plaza, so... I can't leave them alone. And. I can't just have you guys risk your lives for a bunch if strangers can I? So. Please. Get to the next village. Got it?

Vagabond: You'll be alright?

Klein: I'll be fine! I ran a guild in a game I played last time, so I'm prepared! And I'll get through it with no problem after what Kirito have taught me!

Vagabond: I see. However. Don't push yourself too hard. If you're in trouble, message us.

Klein: Got it.

Kirito: Alright. We'll be seeing you then.

Vagabond: Klein.

Klein: Yes?

Vagabond: +15 points.

Klein: Eh?

Vagabond: You cared for your friends and not leaving them out.

Klein: Umm... What?

Kirito: A-ha. Don't worry. It's just something he always do.

Klein: I see. And Kirito?

Kirito: Yes?

Klein: You look better this way. Way better than your avatar.

Kirito: Heh. You too. The scruff look suits you better.

Vagabond: Time to go. Time is running out.

Kirito: Got it. Stay safe Klein!

Klein: Yeah! You too!

Both of us ran off and towards the next village. While running on the field to slay mobs and get Exp...

Vagabond: Kirito.

Kirito: Yeah?

Vagabond: +100 points.

He said as he quickly draws out his daito, slashing a mob in half.

To Be Continued

Meaning of words in the story:-

-Kenjutsu: Umbrella term for all schools of Japanese swordsmanship. Kendo is a modern style while Jutsu is a traditional style. The teachings in Kenjutsu are more practical and suitable for sword fighting IRL (If those still happen that is.)

-Taiho-Jutsu: Taiho-Jutsu is known as Arresting Art. Most commonly trained and used by Japanese law enforcement officers in Japan. That's why Y/N Ikeda knows Taiho-Jutsu, because of his father.

-Daisho: Literally means "big-little". Daito means long sword while Shoto means short sword. So, Daito+Shoto= Daisho

Fun Fact: Most participants in Kendo competitions in Japan are actually policemen and masters.
