Silica was laughing like a hyena as Asuna showed her what had happened. What happened, you ask? Let's rewind.

~~~

Asuna and Kirito were eyeing the criminal as he followed a group of three. The girl from the news was there, which made Kirito mad. She had just gotten out of an attack. She didn't need the trauma again. Asuna sent a message to their smaller group. Silica's group had fallen asleep before they got on, so they were alone. But that didn't stop a bunch of soloists. They went over as he started charging. Asuna smiled as she raced forward in front of the male and pulled the group somewhere.

"Come on. I want to show you guys something." An angry hiss escaped the male as Kirito growled. The man turned as Kirito pulled his sword out. Asuna led the group to Sinon's position as the others got into their places.

"A newbie wanting a fight? How new could this get?" Kirito huffed.

"Let's cut a deal. If I win, you leave the girl alone since she got away from you once. I lose, you get to kill both of us. Deal?"

Not his best deal, but it grabbed the criminal's attention.

"Alright. Deal."

The criminal pulled out his axe and the duo clashed. Everyone gathered around as the duo fought. Kirito huffed as he quickly adjusted to his fighting style. It wasn't new. Just put Agil and Silica's fighting styles together and you got it. He wasn't really using a new trick. It took maybe three rounds of going back and forth before Kirito finished him off. What? He wasn't being unique. So Kirito was able to use a quick sword skill to end him. The crowd stood in shock as the man got up afterwards.

"I'm not done with you-" He was cut off by an arrow landing in his side and putting his health at a dangerous level. He winced as Kirito frowned.

"I went easy on you the first time. Back off." The man hissed before logging off. Sinon huffed as she put her bow away.

"I wasn't even aiming." Asuna smiled as the group smiled.

Kirito had an evil smile as he and the others met up with Silica's crew. Silica was half awake as they sat down.

"Silica, wake up."

"I am awake..." Kirito nodded to Asuna.

"Show her." Asuna pulled out her phone as Silica blinked.

"What did you do?"

"What does the Black Swordsman do?"

"Surprise me." The level of sarcasm in her voice was perfect as Asuna showed the clip. He hummed as she watched the fight.

"Did you..." Argo had to pause to rethink her sentence. Silica was laughing like a hyena as Asuna showed her what had happened.

"I should've known... Who let the Black Swordsman and the Sniper do the fight?" The duo pointed at Lisbeth, who pointed at Asuna.

"Blame the female who started it!"

"Oops!" The group laughed as they exchanged stories.
