### Level 10

**Kirito**: You got it! First I pull back, and the...
**Kirito**: Strike!!
**Asuna**: Gah!
**Kirito**: Whoa!
**Asuna**: \**sigh*\*... We messed it up
again. We're so close, too...
**Kirito**: Sorry to make you spend so much time practicing with me, Asuna...
**Asuna**: Hey, I don't mind.
**Kirito**: I'm pretty sure I've almost got  it
down, but... Hmm...
**???**: Nehehe... Ya look like yer havin' trouble, Kii-boy.
**Kirito**: Well, if it isn't my favorite info broker.
**Argo**: Haven't seen ya around lately. How ya two lovebirds doin'?
**Asuna**: Good! You look like you're doing pretty well yourself.
**Kirito**: It has been a while, Argo. So, how about you tell me...
**Kirito**: Actually, never mind. I think I know why you're here.
**Argo**: Oho, that right ? Well, let's hear it!
**Kirito**: You came to gather info on Asuna's new technique, right ?
**Asuna**: She did ? Argo, is that true ?
**Argo**: Nahahaha! Yer sharp as ever, Kii-boy!
**Kirito**: I've known you for ages, Argo. Your motives are clear as day to me.

### Level 30

**Argo:** Care to fill me in on the deets?
**Argo:** I'd also love it if ya could teach me how to do it. I plan to make a pretty penny off the info.
**Kirito:** ...
**Argo:** Whoa whoa whoa, Kii-boy! What's with the silent treatment?
**Argo:** Don't tell me ya plan on keepin' Asu's juicy new technique a secret?
**Kirito:** Not really, no. But why are you asking me? Asuna came up with it. It's her call.
**Kirito:** Then again, if  I did come up with an awesome new skill, I wouldn't just tell you for nothing.
**Asuna:** Ahaha, well, I don't mind sharing. Actually, I'm already teaching it to all my friends.
**Asuna:** I'm happy to explain it to anyone who wants to learn.
**Argo:** That's my Asu! A decent human being, unlike SOME people.
**Kirito:** Yeah yeah, save it.
**Kirito:** Anyway, I'm more concerned with the fact that this technique is ridiculously hard to learn.
**Argo:** Really?
**Kirito:** Asuna's been trying to teach me for a while now, and I still can't get it.
**Argo:** Yer jokin'! If even yer havin' trouble learning it, that changes things.
**Argo:** I'm guessin' that means most players don't have any hope of learnin' it.
**Kirito:** I wouldn't go that far... But still, it's really, really hard to master.
**Kirito:** I can't imagine it spreading that much if only a few people can pull it off.
**Argo:** Yeah, yer right there.

### Level 50

**Asuna:** Yeah, sure! Do you mind helping teach her, Kirito?
**Kirito:** Sure. You take point, and I'll be your partner.
**Argo:** Hold it!
**Asuna:** Huh? Why?
**Argo:** Yer forgettin' the most important thing! Negotation! How much ya chargin; me fer the info?!
**Asuna:** Umm... nothing? I don't need money.
**Argo:** That's not the point, Asu! An info broker buys and sells info. That's our job.
**Argo:** That means I gotta pay a fair price fer the info I get.
**Asuna:** But really, I don't mind. I'm happy to teach you for free.
**Argo:** Nothin' in life's free. 'Sides, I got my pride as an info broker. I'm payin' ya, and that's final!
**Asuna:** But... I don't even know if my technique is worth enough to sell...
**Asuna:** If someone can't use it even after they learn how, doesn't that mean it's worthless info?
**Argo:** That's for me to decide, Asu-after I pay ya. Same goes fer my clients.
**Kirito:** She's right, Asuna. Why not just name a price to make her feel better?
**Asuna:** O-Okay... But I still feel weird about taking money for this, especially if no one can learn it.
**Asuna:** And it's nothing special, either. You don't need superhuman reflexes like Kirito to do it...
**Kirito:** True. It's move like an OSS. Grasp the basics and practice it enough, and voila.
**Argo:** So like a two-person cooperative OSS? Sounds sweet.
**Asuna:** Yeah, that's a good way of thinking about it.
**Argo:** Then it does have value! S c'mon, stop stallin' and name a price!
**Asuna:** Uhh... L-Let me think...

### Level 70

**Kirito:** Y-Yeah, got it!
**Kirito:** Step back and...strike!
**Kirito:** Awww!
**Asuna:** You almost got it that time!
**Kirito:** Hey, Asuna? Why are we practicing this again?
**Asuna:** Ahahaha, duh! Because Argo asked us to, of course.
**Asuna:** I need to prove that other people can learn this technique before she'll buy it from me.
**Kirito:** Yeah, but you forced her to accept that condition. Honestly? Not the best business decision.
**Asuna:** Ahahaha, yeah, I guess not.
**Kirito:** You should've just picked an outrageous price and made off like a bandit.
**Asuna:** Oh, come on. You know I couldn't do that.
**Kirito:** By the way... Where is our devious little info broker?
**Asuna:** She ran off to get my payment, shouting "at that price, it's a steal! Nahahaha!"
**Asuna:** There's this legendary ingredient I've wanted for ages, so I asked her to tell me how to get it.
**Kirito:** Okay...
**Asuna:** Apparently even Argo didn't know offhand, so she went to find out for me.
**Kirito:** Hmm... I suppose that is the sort of thing you'd go for.
**Asuna:** You bet! But it'll only be mine if you master this technique! So back to work!
**Kirito:** Why do I have to work my butt off just to get you food info?
**Asuna:** Hehehe, because I said so!

### Level 80

**Asuna:** Yaaah!!
**Kirito:** I did it...
**Asuna:** Yeah, you did! Great job, Kirito!
**Kirito:** This makes two times now, if we count that fight the other day!
**Asuna:** Yup! And now I'm confident that other people can learn this technique too! Woohoo!
**Argo:** Nahaha, and I can attest to that. I saw everythin'.
**Kirito:** I didn't notice you were back, Argo.
**Argo:** Well, I am-and with the goods too.
**Asuna:** Really?! Thanks, Argo!
**Argo:** So that technique just now, there some sort of secret to learnin' it?
**Kirito:** Hmm, let's see... The point is to hit with attacks simultaneously for a massive power boost.
**Kirito:** But the problem is, if you both try to hit the same thing, you'll just get in each other's way.
**Argo:** Yeah, I figured that much. Ya end up gettin's all tangled up when ya attack.
**Argo:** That means rather than hittin's yer target, ya just bump into yer partner.
**Argo:** Avoidin' that was the whole reason people came up with the switch in the first place.
**Kirito:** Yeah, exactly. So the trick here isn't to try to attack at the same time, but add my attack to hers.
**Argo:** And that means what, exactly?
**Kirito:** It's kind of hard to explain, but it's kind of like weaving my attack into Asuna's.
**Kirito:** So rather than force our attacks together, I let Asuna lead and just sorta go along for the ride.
**Argo:** Ahh, I think I getcha. Lke two streams coming together to form a river.
**Kirito:** That's the idea!
**Asuna:** Wow, good point, Kirito. I never thought of it like that.
**Argo:** Thanks fer the sweet tip, kiddos. I'll add this tidbit to the info pile.
**Kirito:** Heh, so my tip's going to be for sale, huh? Then you owe me a cut.
**Argo:** Nahaha! Looks like yer gettin's a hang for the biz!
**Argo:** I'll cook up some juicy info just fer ya. Might take a bit, but I guarantee it'll be worth it.
**Kirito:** Ooh, sounds nice. And I'll hold you to that.

## Tips

* Asuna's SS3: Starry Flash is supposed to rush around behind an enemy and perform a spinning slash but in some circumstance likes the enemy she targets to use the SS3 is dead before perform a spinning slash and in front appear one or more enemies, she will rush forward and perform a spinning slash instead.
* Her partner is characters: Kirito, using her SS3 and switching to Kirito will increases damage attained by 10%.
