Sword Art Online's
chapter 37's
“Ah..the reaction is surprising..”.
Ronye, Tieze and Asuna smiled at the same time, glancing at the Prime Swordsman who put both of his hands behind his head while sighing.After the long meeting ended, Ronye returned Berchie to Fanatio and intended to go first to the large dining room on the 10th floor for lunch, but Asuna stopped him as she was about to rush up the stairs.
How about lunch together?And there was no reason to reject him if invited, they both also supported him (Ronye and Tieze), so, Vice-Prime Swordsman invited them to
floor 90 Central Cathedral ‘See Morning’ Star View.
Only the pillars supporting the 4 sides of the roof, the best part on this floor is a beautiful flower garden with clear waterways, this floor could be the peak of the Cathedral.Stairway to the 90th floor is closed with a door that can not be broken by Asuna with her divine abilities, not only Integrity Knight, Prime Swordsman Kirito alone will not be able to damage it.
There was a white table in the corner of his garden, and Kirito who appeared 3 minutes after the other 3
looks a little uncomfortable when sitting in his chair. “reaction it”, well of course, he exclaims loudly when he heard the name Selka Schuberg.So also with Ronye and Tieze when he heard the name Frenica, so do Ronye and Tieze, the 3 of them were friends when they were first years in the Sword Mastery Academy, so it would not be strange if they were
bemused.
But if Kirito.
Ronye and his friend had heard the story of how Kirito and Eugeo went from the village of Rulid in the north and explored various environments to eventually become students at the Sword Mastery Academy, the reason for Kirito and his partner's goal to Centoria is to pick up the golden knight Alice Synthesis Thirty who was born from the village of Rulid, who has become a legend of the
axiom Church.
Today many knights still believe the legend of the Supreme Goddess that the Integrity Knight is the right hand summoned from the world of gods, so information relating to the ‘ cradles of Integrity Knight’ should remain confidential. Plus, Dusolbert Synthesis Seven during his service was then involved in the Council of Human World Unions, bringing little Alice from the village of Rulid for violating the Taboo Index, he also had no memory of that moment.
Dusolbert himself seemed to be aware of the truth of 'Synthesis Ritual’, but saw the young knights, the, and when Kirito explained the reason why he was shocked by Selka Schuberg's name during the meeting was “because he helped me when I strayed”, it didn't look convincing, Fanatio and the others also did not look so interested.
Asuna smiled and said to give comfort to Kirito who kept his head on the table.
“Well, how about it, Kirito-kun, when Selka-san gets to Central Cathedral later,
everyone will know that you know him.”
“Iya I know..I want to get ready before everyone on his name to me..”.
“If you want to get ready, just make an impression with Selka-san as identical as possible. I reckon
so...”
“Uh...can also be..”.
Kirito nodded without lifting his face, and Tieze's expression looked hesitant.
"LT...... Kirito - senpai."
“Why, Tieze?”
Prime Swordsman Kirito finally lifted his head and looked at Tieze.The red-haired Ronye's friend looked hesitant, then said something surprising.
“I think it is better not to hide the truth anymore.if Integrity Knight was actually born in the Human World as well as the others."
“T-wait a minute Tieze..”
Ronye hurriedly stopped his best friend's sentence. ‘Synthesis Ritual’ that Integrity Knight had experienced earlier was the biggest secret in the United Council of the Human World, and that was why it was not good for an apprentice to talk about such a thing.But Kirito raised his hand stopping Ronye, he smiled and looked at Tieze again.
“Well, I basically agree, too, that there are many reasons to explain that the story doesn't make sense. Among the oldest knights, Fanatio-san and Dusolbert-san, and perhaps Scheta-san already knew the truth, and one day.ah no, as soon as possible, I think I will explain the truth to all Integrity Knights….anyhow...”.
Kirito held back his words for a moment, he looked at Ronye and Tieze with a worried look.
“...sorry if I remember something bad.
with Raios Antinous...?”
Instantly upon hearing his name, Ronye and Tieze were silent petrified.Raios Antinous was an Elite Swordsman-in-training when they were both still valets Kirito and Eugeo.He threatened his valet, Frenica viciously, as they were both still valet Kirito and Eugeo, and when Ronye and Tieze hit him because of that incident, he almost raped them both, with
carrying around his special rights as a noble with ‘noble decisions’.
Kirito and Eugeo entered the room while gripping and saving both of them, but Raios' arm was broken by Kirito's sword slash, and died in a strange manner,made them both tremble if he remembered the incident.He did not lose Life even though it was covered in blood. In fact, he shouted in a voice that could not be imagined as a human being, then he fell to the floor as his soul was lost and died.
And furthermore in the Foreign World War, Ronye and one other person had also witnessed countless lives of people and half-humans that vanished, but had never seen such a death, Kirito and Asuna who were sitting across from him slightly advanced her body, then pulled Ronye and Tieze's hands onto the table and
grasping it.
The warmth from the human hand that came from the world called the Real World was warmer than anyone, and Ronye's cold feeling instantly disappeared.Thank you, he didn't say it, just nodded, similarly, Kirito and Asuna also nodded with a smile, and sat back down.After sighing deeply, Ronye asked again.
“...does it have anything to do with Elite Swordsman in-training Antinous and Synthesis Ritual?”
Kirito immediately shook his head.
“It has nothing to do anyway. But the people living in the Underworld could also be
like Raios when his mind is too extreme.”
“Eh..”
Ronye and Tieze widened his eyes, but Kirito immediately waved both of his hands quickly.
“Not to be afraid, you guys will be fine because such a phenomenon will only happen to people who are bound by a very hard ideology.”
“Ideology..the hard one?”
“Yes, Life Raios time is at stake for breaking the Taboo Index, for Raios who seems to be highly self-worth, his Life has priority above all else. But at the same time, the law of the Taboo Index is an absolute that cannot be violated anyway.To violate the Taboo Index or to obey it and die.both are chosen simultaneously, until the soul of Raios is lost.”.
“In addition there is a story I heard from Fanatio-san, which was in the defensive fight at the Great East Gate when the former giant leader lost his mind and shouted just like Raios. The giant tends to be convinced that they are the strongest among the entire race.I think the cliche's reason is about destroying, and he gets angry, believing that they were summoned from the world of gods became the foundation of their souls and was equally important.”
For Ronye who had witnessed the abilities and prowess of the Integrity Knights every day, Kirito's somewhat worried sentence was puzzling.
Surely, the fact about ‘Synthesis Ritual’ is a lie—the fact that it was the Supreme Goddess Administrator who deceived all Integrity Knights, would shock them
both.
But the fear of a knight hanging within themselves, they could endure it. Unlike Raios, they will not lose their soul.Or is it just hope? Despite being an apprentice knight, Ronye still gave her respect and admiration for the Integrity Knight who told her about incarnation, and taught sword skills and sacred art in basic lessons
being a true existence without hurting anything this is how it feels,
but is this true?
Ronye who was feeling depressed, heard Asuna's trembling voice.
“Hey, Kirito-kun, I want to know.Taboo Index is the absolute law for the people of the World.
Humans right? So if anyone tries to break it, then their soul will be lost?”
“No, not really. Normally ‘seal right eye’ will activate before his soul is lost, and they will not be able to rebel…the reason why the seal was inactive on Raios was that he did not try to rebel but was confident in what he was doing.I think that's why he fell into ‘loop’ (hole) between choosing 2 options, he must protect Taboo Index or his Life.”
“Senpai, what is loop?”
Tieze interrupted him, and Kirito answered him somewhat timidly.
“Umm, even if it is well planned, sometimes..uh..sacred word just appears well... Loop is like a ring, something shaped, which means ‘gak there will be end’ or ‘repeatedly’..um...my explanation is quite good right?”
Kirito glanced at the smiling Asuna and nodded.
“Yeah, I hope I can make as many notebooks as I can..”
Ronye nodded deeply upon hearing Asuna's sentence.Kirito flew around the Human World in search of materials making paper that could be combined with the original paper ability of ordinary leather and paper.
He found white hemp, a white plant that also grew in a rocky mountain region in the northwestern part of the northern empire.Then he cut its leaves and stems and boiled them.
When ready then pour it on a thin sheet and glue it on a thin plane, and before its Life is reduced,Kirito dries it with thermal and aerial elements to change its status from low-capable ‘plate’ to high-capability ‘kain’, and then rolls it with a rolling device several times to smooth—that's how he makes white paper.
The price is cheaper than paper from leather with only 6 cen can also be
it was made from sheepskin, and its ability was also quite high and equivalent to paper from leather, and was more comfortable than ordinary paper, which was made from vertical and horizontal white grass webbing and struck with a hammer.
And the material, white hemp is not available in
the capital at that time, and since then the white hemp field was opened to be produced, 4 factories
it was also available in Centoria, and sales of white hemp paper for the people in the capital began, but the price was still high from ordinary paper. Ronye just found out
it was difficult to make cheap production for children in the Dark Territory and the Human World.
However, for Kirito and Asuna, producing white hemp paper was not the end goal.They still wanted to make many books in the language of the Human World, mathematics, and the explanation of learning techniques.
“...if the notebook is owned by everyone, children can also learn anytime.”.
Tieze said before Ronye was about to say so.
“Book notes for basic level sacred art, they say a maker needs high skill to copy the contents for a month in one book. Of course it was expensive.my father bought the notebook because sacred art was one of the exams that would be studied to enter the Sword Mastery Academy, it is still not impossible to buy a copy of which there are some parts missing, it is a terrible regret.And it will remain my treasure.”
And Ronye shared the same experience.
The high-level books in the Human World were carefully copied according to the ‘ejaan Axiom’ used in the Taboo Index, which cost more than 1 million shears, and the low-class nobles would not be able to buy them, either, only for people who are able, so called ‘book super fast copy’, appear young artists who copy it with several different letter forms, and the price also fell, but it is still expensive.
“That's something to watch out for, then, someday..”.
Kirito said it with a smile, then stopped and sighed heavily.
“...Massive production of notebooks will be harder than white hemp paper, but well, the,
we must remain patient, because it takes time.”
“...Yes true.”
Asuna nodded with a strange smile.
“So..Kirito-kun, not only sword skills are needed to enter the Academy.
Sword Master, but the sacred art test as well?”
“Oh that, yes, I'm in the top 20. As I expected. But I learned sacred art from Eugeo with as much spirit as I could.”
When he heard it, Tieze smiled and laughed bitterly. But his laughter did not go along with his emotions, and Ronye glanced slightly at him as he opened his mouth, without a word.Asuna gave a smile to comfort him, looked at the blue sky and then turned her gaze back to her side.
“Yep, you two must be hungry, let's eat, can you help me bring it?”
Surely Kirito instantly got up along with Ronye and Tieze who were also standing up. When the two of them were valet, Ronye always said ‘let me do it’, but this time Kirito did not sit and wait for his service. Senpai did not change, he thought as he walked behind Asuna, then Tieze picked up another pen and notebook and said: 'But:
“So Asuna-sama, ‘notebook’ that means book to store copies and recordings right?”
Grr Ronye who felt he could not help clenching his hands was upset (on himself).
