Thread: Sword Art Online: The Frontier Chronicles

Actually I would have used a crystal first, you know? - Shinn smiled at her, quickly getting up once he saw her standing in her own two feet, taking his polearm and once again putting it on his back. As soon as it was there, he opened the inventory and unnequiped it, the weapon and the belt that kept it on his back vanishing without a trace. He spent yet another Crystal to heal himself and gladly saw his HP bar increasing once again away from the danger zone. He watched as the girl walked away, and made its way to the boss, looting it. The money was evenly split between them automatically, and good heavy armored boots with good DEF stats were mixed with a lot of low quality items. Rocks of all types, two medium quality crafting jewels and the widely known Ancient Maul. A good drop certainly. He quickly memorized what was looted, so he could evenly split with her afterwards. You're going back? Alright. Hope you don't mind, but I have to gather some Marble Leafs for a friend. Strange name for a plant, isn't it? Being named as a rock. But I guess it makes sense since they're found on Rocky Gorge. Anyway I'll have to stay a little bit longer. - he said accepting the victory window, and watching as he gained yet another level, a smile on his lips. His leveling was going steady. - But don't worry, now that ARRC's down, I can wander without any trouble. - He thought that was all but suddenly he girl stopped, and he listened carefully what she said. So, she figured it out by what little clues he had given her. To do it in the middle of battle, she certainly was a clever one. The question was what would he answer her. It seemed she wanted to stick with him for a while, which in fact was great for him. If not for the other beaters he knew from testing month, most players were a lot lower in level, and fewer still were able to handle the fights with the finesse she had shown that afternoon. She was obviously not a threat then and he guessed she wasn't someone who would go back and share the information with the first group she would meet. Still, some part of his brain insisted that he should keep the fact hidden, least she would take advantage of it. Maybe she was inviting him to a permanent partnership for that sole reason? His usual self, at the end, decided that honesty was the best choice, even more if it was with someone you'd be joining forces with. Beater, huh? I don't like that word very much. It implies I did something wrong, but I nerver cheated, you know? - he turned to her, the same smile on his lips. He couldn't say what point of view she shared when concerning beaters, but was ready for anything when decided to tell her the truth. - But yes, I was one SAO's of the Beta Testers. Went all the way to 8th floor. Not that it helps right now, since the importnat bits seem to have changed. Does it bother you that I am... Well, a beater? He gave a pause for her to ponder about it, then continued. Still, if you are indeed, normally, at this point, offering to join me in a more permanent basis, - he smiled at her gently - Then, I'd very much like it to do so. Most of us play alone fearing others will hold us back or give us trouble. I not really like that, but regardless I can say for sure you won't do either, so if you're fine with being my long term partner, consider it a done deal. Shinn - Level 12 HP 100 100
