-At 3:30 Pm after school-

Dekarusu had lead the way for the others to find the secret hideout of Akuma shares with him a while ago. It took 10 minutes to get there and now they reached their destination

"Hah! We're here!" Dekarusu said as they seen a beautiful scenery.

"It's really beautiful Dekarusu~Kun!!" Yuuki was amazed by the scenery

"It's so gorgeous!" Alice added

"The air smell so good and fresh." Tiese said

"And the river is so shiny and sparkly." Ronye said

"This is a really good spot for relaxing and to do everything else." Eugeo said

"Wow Dekarusu?! Why did you keep this secret hideout a secret from your cousins?!" Akira and Soma said

"Hey! This is Akuma's hideout not mine." Dekarusu said. "And also we should text Big bro Aoi that we're at Akuma's hideout." Dekarusu said as they texted Aoi

"Ok! So now we're in this hideout, let's get to training." Kazuto said

"Bet! I'm getting the weapons from inside. And they're hard as iron steel just to let you guys know." Dekarusu as he used the latter to climb to the treehouse

"I can't believe Akuma had found something so special before and only told Sumisu about it?" Akira said

"Right! That's not cool at all! It's like she couldn't trust us for something like this?!" Soma said

"Hmm?" Alice was thinking of something and Eugeo noticed it

"Is something wrong Alice?" Eugeo question Alice

"Is nothing? Just thinking about nothing at all." Alice said as Dekarusu has thrown the weapons to the ground

"There! I found so swords, daggers and some other stuff." Dekarusu had jumped off the fence and grabbed a sword. "Ok! So how you guys wanna train today?" Dekarusu asked

"Um.....? How about your and Kazuto~Senpai's Sword Swings?" Ronye said

"Awe?! Well that's really easy! Our Sword Style is Aincrad Style but with different forms and stances." Dekarusu said

"Yeah..... we're both on the same level." Kazuto said

"Yo Akira and Soma! You guys wanna train with us?!" Dekarusu ask

"Yeah! But it'll just be the two of us, we need to practice on our stances and stuff." Some said

"Are you two gonna joined us? Yuuki... Alice?" Kazuto said

"I'm just gonna watch you guys training for a sec." Alice said

"Um? Yeah same here." Yuuki said

"All right then. So..... I guess I'll teach Eugeo and Tiese. And Kazuto teaching Ronye." Dekarusu said

"That's fine with me. Let's do this Ronye." Kazuto said as they went to another spot to train

"Y-Yes!" Ronye said

"Ok! We'll be right here. Ok.... let's start on our swings." Dekarusu said

"Yes!" Eugeo said

"O-Ok!" Tiese said

As Dekarusu and Kazuto teaching Eugeo and the others about their Sword Swinging, Parry, Switching in perfect timing and etc. It's been about an hour and half of training. Eugeo and the others have already improved a bit in such a short time.

"Wow! Eugeo you're able to keep up my teachings?! Well done!" Dekarusu said

"Pant! Pant!"
"Thanks Dekarusu! I really wanted to be stronger!" Eugeo said as he was sitting down on the ground, taking a break

"I really understand that of getting stronger but it'll takes time. So you don't need to rush." Dekarusu said as he turns to Tiese. "Tiese, your making progress too but..... did you forget about the breathing technique that Bercouli~Sensei taught us?" Dekarusu questioned

"Um....? I think so?! I think he'd say it's breathing from your mouth through your nose..... I think?" Tiese said as she was on her ground as well

"Nope! It's your nose through your mouth Tiese. That's for keeping your stamina up." Dekarusu said

"Oh! Thank you for reminding me." Tiese said

"It's cool Tiese." Dekarusu smiles

"Hey Sumisu!" Kazuto yelled

"What's up?!" Sumisu said

"Do you got any drinks?!" Kazuto said

"Yeah! I'll be back!" Dekarusu head up to the treehouse to grab some drinks

"Wow! I can't believe this sword training is really tuff!" Tiese said

"Yeah you can say that again! But it's worth it." Eugeo said as Kazuto and Ronye approaches

"So now you know about the breathing technique Sensei had taught us and the way of your swinging is making progress but it's going to take a while." Kazuto said

"T-Thank you Kazuto~Senpai." Ronye thanked Kazuto

"Hey I got a cooler full of water and drinks! So drink up!" Dekarusu said as he tossed out the cooler and jumped out the fence again

THUD!!!!

"Ok! You really need to stop doing that Sumisu?!" Soma said

"Nope!" Dekarusu said as he grabbed a water bottle and everyone grabbed a drink and relax

"I can't believe this is how you guys live and enjoy yourselves like this? This is really nice." Alice smiles

"I know right! This is really the best thing." Dekarusu said

"Don't you guys have something like this at your hometown?" Kazuto asked

"Well..... yes but it's a little different from this. And you and Dekarusu looked like our other friends from our hometown?" Alice said as she sees Kazuto as "Rulid Village Kirito" and Sumisu as "Rulid Village Dekarusu"

"For real?! That's what's up." Dekarusu said

"Hey Dekarusu~Kun? How did you meet Alice earlier today?" Yuuki asked a question

"Oh right! It happened this morning! Me, Akira and Soma was running late for the bus, we'd ran and told Akuma to stop the bus and she did that. Akira and Soma has made it and I didn't cuz I tripped and fell into the ground. Then as the bus driver had left me again and I tried to catch up to it. Then out of nowhere I had accidentally crashed into Alice. We both felled but I manage to broke her fall." Dekarusu said

"For real?! That happened?!" Yuuki said

"Yeah!/Yes!" Dekarusu and Alice said

"I really didn't even see her cuz I ran too fast and I really felt bad. And I didn't know she was attending to the school we're in now." Dekarusu said

"You didn't put me in any harm. So you don't have to feel sorry for that little accident. I forgive you." Alice smiles at Dekarusu

"Thanks." Dekarusu said

"So anyway......um? What makes you guys coming to this school?" Yuuki ask

"Well, in our school, Eugeo and I did aced our classes so we're transferred into this school we're in and with Ronye and Tiese had the same results. And with Uncle and the others were hired as new teachers." Alice said

"That's.... amazing." Yuuki said

"And I really don't know why but I've heard of about the school got half destroyed and the adults had decided to have the school to take 35% of School and 65% of outside of school activities." Alice said

"That does makes sense now! Now wonder why we seen different people and doing sword, archery and everything else." Yuuki said

"Yeah.... and what's up with this "Enchance Armament"? I saw Deusolbert~Sensei was using a Special Art or something, and it was badass!" Dekarusu said

"Oh.... An Enchance Armament is super high ranking Sacred Arts ritual is used to boost the offensive power of a Divine Object-Class weapon by linking with the true essence of weapon." Alice explain as the others were surprised

"Woah!! That's sounds so awesome!!" Akira and Soma said

"A Divine Object?! How are going to find a Divine Object?!" Dekarusu said

"We don't have any blacksmiths in real life?" Kazuto said

"But how can our Teachers have different swords than the ones we have now?! I think they have "Divine Objects" the whole time? Instead of using the wooden swords, they were using the "Divine Object" the whole time." Yuuki said

"No wonder why the 3 of us couldn't beat Bercouli~Sensei before?" Dekarusu said

"Yes. Even Eugeo and I have different swords too but mine is the Divine Object sword but Eugeo found his in a cave ever since we were a kids." Alice said

"Swear?!" Dekarusu said

"Yes. It's true." Eugeo said

"Man! I wanna get a cool swords too!!" Akira and Soma said

"Man....! I think I wanna get one too!" Kazuto said

"A Divine Object?! Is it possible to obtain something like that?! In real life?! I mean this isn't a virtual world!" Dekarusu said

"Yeah! I mean this sound too good to be true to be honest." Yuuki agree with Dekarusu

"I mean there's a town next to our village where there are a Blacksmith can make swords almost like the Divine Objects Weapons but even better than these types of swords." Eugeo said

"Hmmm? I think we should go and check it out." Kazuto said

"But how long did I take you guys to come here?!" Dekarusu said

"It took us 3 Days." Alice said

"3 Day?!?!?~

"I'm just kidding. It takes 30 minutes for us to get here." Alice said as the others sighed of relief

"Ok! So it'll take 30 minutes to go to a different town from here and another 30 minutes to get back." Dekarusu said

"Correct." Alice said

"We'll go at Saturday morning at 10:30 A.M or 11:00 A.M." Kazuto said

"That's settles it then." Yuuki said

"Yep. So anyway..... who still wanna train?" Dekarusu said

"Instead of training, how about a little sparring match?" Alice said

"Hm? Yeah, that'll be better." Dekarusu agreed

-Timeskip-

As they'd sparred, it's now 6:39 P.M, it was time they all headed back home but then~

"Man! That was really wild!" Akira and Soma said

"It was! Too bad we have school tomorrow." Yuuki said

"Yeah.... I gotta get back home and I'll be pretty tired in the morning tomorrow for sure." Kazuto said

"Well it was fun and I'm glad we'd had a training session." Ronye said

"Well? Can we do this again some other time?" Eugeo asked Dekarusu

"Yeah! If we don't have too much homework and stuff." Dekarusu said

As everyone headed back, Alice had pulls Dekarusu sleeve

"Um? Dekarusu? Can I talk to you for a sec?" Alice said

"Sure." As Dekarusu was with Alice, Yuuki had secretly followed them and now they are alone. "So what's up?"

"Um....? Honestly.... are you together with Yuuki, Dekarusu?" Alice said

"Yeah we are. She's my girlfriend." Dekarusu said. "Why?!"

"No reason. Just asking because I've noticed she calls you "Dekarusu~Kun" really often and I thought she made that as a nickname for you?" Alice said

"Yeah.... we've been friends at first.... she'd called me that ever since our first study date together as friends at first.... then she called me that out nowhere but I really don't mind if she calls me that.... hehe." Dekarusu said

"Oh! That's really nice. One more thing! Are Kazuto together with Asuna?" Alice said

"Yeah! They'd been together for 2 in a half or so years ago." Dekarusu said

"Oh ok! I thought you 4 were just friends at first but I was mistaken. Thank you for answering my questions and sorry if I was too nosy." Alice said

"It's no problem at all." Dekarusu said

"Um.....? I hope if you don't mind if I call you by a nickname by any chance?" Alice said

"Awe?! Well.... you can call me "Deku" that's my player name in a virtual game. With Asuna, she called Kazuto, "Kirito" that's his player name as well. But this is a real life so we can call each other by our real name or our game name." Dekarusu said

"Oh ok! So.... I can call you "Deku"?" Alice said

"Yeah, I really don't mind." Dekarusu said

"Great..... well I'll see you tomorrow at school Deku." Alice said as she smiled at him and left

"See ya." Dekarusu said as he was heading back and Yuuki suddenly headed back as well before she gets caught.

5 minutes later

"Hey Yuuki... sorry for taking too long... Alice wanted to talk about something." Dekarusu said

"It's ok." Yuuki said as they beginning to walk now. "So... about Alice....."

"What about Alice?" Dekarusu said

"Well..... she's a really strong, nice and honest person but..... I think she likes you and Kazuto." Yuuki said as Dekarusu was surprised

"For real?! How can you tell?!" Dekarusu questioned

"Ever since you and Kazuto was teaching Eugeo and the others..... I noticed she's been smiling at you while you was training and having a sparring match with Eugeo and Tiese and the same thing for Kazuto with Ronye." Yuuki said

"Huh?! I think she just liked our Aincrad Sword Style. I mean her style is flawless. With her stances for Offense and Defense is on point." Dekarusu said

"True but either way.... I think she takes interest in you and Kazuto...... like having a crush on you two." Yuuki said

"A crush?! I don't know cuz.... today is the first day back....... and we all just became friends for the first time...... and suddenly... I feel like I actually know Alice and Eugeo.... but I don't really know..... but anyway I'm pretty sure she's just acknowledging our swordsmanship." Dekarusu said

"She would be.... but we'll never know unless she shows off her true colors...." Yuuki said

"Yuuki....your making Alice sound like a bad person right now...." Dekarusu said

"I'm not trying to... I'm just saying.... that's how some girls are like these days..." Yuuki said

"You're right..... but of just knowing Alice today..... it doesn't seem like she would act like that." Dekarusu said

"Well, we'll never know but I mean I don't know myself to be honest but I'm just saying cuz you're all mine and no one is gonna take you away from me!" Yuuki exclaimed as she'd cling on Dekarusu's arm

"Heh! Yeah, same here." Dekarusu said

-With Alice and the others-

"That was really a good time with Kazuto~Senpai and others." Ronye said

"Yeah! With Dekarusu~Senpai, he's really amazing with his offensive and defensive skills and abilities. His reflexes are airtight." Tiese said

"Even though it was a two on one sparring match, he's really good with his backhanded sword style. He's really amazing." Eugeo said

"And Kazuto~Senpai is really understandable. His instructions was easy to remember but actually doing it was really hard to do." Ronye said

"Hey Alice, you should've sparred with Kazuto or with Sumisu?" Eugeo said

"Hmm? I'd could have but I decided to spar with them another time because with Akira and Soma, their teamwork was pretty amazing. They'd almost got me but they got too careless at the end but I'll give them props for being a strong duo." Alice said

"Akira and Soma~Senpai are really fun duo." Tiese said

"And that Yuuki girl, she's really amazing and strong. He reaction time is unbelievable! She's even faster than Sumisu and Kazuto! Could she be even stronger than those two and Alice?!" Eugeo question

"Oh!"

"Good question!"

"Well.... we'll never know." Eugeo said

*Deku.....Kirito..... you two really amazed me in Swords....... I wanna see something good about you two.... and everyone else as well....* Alice thought to herself

"I really hope we can do this again... it's really nice." Alice said

"And I really hope we can go through everything in school again." Eugeo said

"I've believed we can if we all band together and get through this semester and it'll be fast for us." Alice said

"She does have a good point." Tiese said

"Well, we'll see if tomorrow goes well." Ronye said

"Yes.... we will." Alice said
