Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 1: Sword Prologue, the Chinese boy who inherits the gym!
2022, Japan, Tokyo District.

A new generation of civilian terminal called "NERvGear" developed by major electronic machinery manufacturer "ARGUS" is finally available to everyone.

This allows full network virtual space stealth to be utilized in general online games.

Sword Art Online, referred to as "SAO" - Sword Art Online is the first large-scale VRMMO to utilize this advanced technology.

A black-haired young man just came out of a department store, holding an unopened NERvGear civilian terminal in his hand. Just as he was about to go home to experience it, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Seiya, did you manage to get the NERvGear helmet today?"

Just as Seiya answered the call, a rather anxious male voice came from the other end of the line.

Just by listening to the voice, it is not difficult to tell that the other person's age is not much different from Seiya, probably the age of junior high school students.

“Originally, I had no chance to buy it, but the saleswoman seemed to be a senior from our school who was working part-time.

Because I was a cute junior, she helped me with some behind-the-scenes operations.

Moreover, this senior student was very polite and slipped me a small note, saying that this was her contact information and that if I had any questions, I could call her and ask.

I have to say, big companies are different. Even the part-time employees provide such good service.”

When he heard what his friend said at this moment, Kiritani Kazuto on the other end of the phone couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is it because of your junior? Is it because of the service attitude of a big company? People will slip you a note because they are attracted by your face!

Although Kazuto Kiriya was speechless about the special treatment Seiya received, he was not overly surprised.

Because he had seen too many things like this around Seiya over the years.

Seiya's full name is Wenren Seiya, a name that sounds very Japanese, but he is actually Chinese.

Kazuto also asked Seiya why his name was like that, and the latter explained to him that "Wenren" is a compound surname.

In the ancient East, "holy" means sacred and beautiful, and "zai" is an auxiliary word of tone.

Seiya's parents met with an accident when he was very young, and he was raised by his grandfather, but his grandfather passed away not long ago.

Seiya's family runs a kendo gym, and Kiritani Kazuto and Kiritani Suguha are both students of the gym.

However, when he was seven years old, Kazuto Kiritani gave up kendo because he felt it was boring.

However, Seiya and Kiritani Suguha persisted, and Seiya also perfectly inherited the mantle of "Wenren Kenshin Ryu".

When he was still a freshman in junior high school, he participated in the National Kendo Competition and defeated many second and third year junior high school students who were one or two years older than him, and finally won the national championship.

Since she grew up with Kazuto Kiritani and Suguha Kiritani, the three of them can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Putting aside the somewhat awkward sibling relationship between Kazuto and Suguha, Seiya actually has a pretty good relationship with both Kazuto and Suguha.

Putting aside Kazuto, who shares the same aversion as him, Kiritani Suguha simply worships Seiya as an idol.

After all, at the tender age of just a junior high school student, Seiya had already won the National Kendo Championship. To Suguha, a girl who loved kendo, Seiya was simply born for it. Although she was still in junior high school, Suguha knew that her brother Seiya had even reached the level of "Menkyo Kaiden" in the Wenren Kenjutsu style.

Even if he were to participate in a high school kendo competition at the age of a junior high school student, he would definitely be able to get a very good ranking.

Since Grandpa Wenren's death, the dojo has been closed. If Seiya can get a good ranking in the high school kendo competition, coupled with the level of "Menkyo Kaiden", he is fully capable of inheriting the kendo dojo.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also a kendo champion at a young age, and his academic performance is also excellent. Even without thinking, Seiya can tell how popular he is in school.

This is also the reason why Kazuto Kiriya was not at all surprised by the preferential treatment Seiya received.

Because apart from his lovestruck sister, Seiya has never lacked suitors since he was a child.

Having such an excellent friend is his luck, but also his misfortune.

Fortunately, Seiya is a very kind person. When he needs help, he will really help, and there are very few things he cannot do.

Unfortunately, having such a friend puts him under a lot of pressure. To the extent that his biggest role in school now is to help people pass messages or send love letters to Seiya.

He gave up kendo at the age of seven, not only because he found it boring, but also because he felt too much pressure.

They were all practicing swordsmanship, and they were all the same age, and they were all boys, but Seiya's progress was rapid.

But he could only abuse Suguha, which made Kazuto feel that he might not have the talent for kendo, so he finally decided to give up.

Of course, although Seiya is excellent in all aspects, it does not mean that he, Kiritani Kazuto, is useless.

After giving up kendo, Kiritani Kazuto unexpectedly discovered that he had a talent for playing games.

And it is only when playing games that Kazuto will not be completely crushed by Seiya, and can even win more and lose less.

The boy, who already loved playing games, now found the only way for him to defeat his friends, so he naturally enjoyed it even more.

SAO is the first large-scale VRMMO released using NERvGear.

As a game, the attention it has received is undoubtedly unprecedented. As a game geek, it is natural for Kiritani Kazuto to be interested in it.

Not only was he interested, he was also lucky enough to be selected as an insider player and became one of the first people to experience SAO.

Now that SAO's public beta is approaching, NERvGear has become extremely popular. As a beta tester, he naturally has nothing to worry about, but as his best friend, Seiya, he will have to worry if he can't get the virtual helmet.

As a "beta tester", he has already experienced the charm of SAO. In that world, he might really be able to defeat Seiya with his swordsmanship.

He is good at games to begin with, and this time he is entering the public beta as an "internal beta player". Even if this game has a mainstream profession like swordsman, he should not be unable to defeat Seiya, right?

In short, Kazuto has always been worried that Seiya would not be able to get the helmet, on the one hand because he was worried that he would lose his only friend to play games with him.

On the other hand, he wanted to show off in front of Seiya!
That’s right, his friend is too outstanding, and he, Kiritani Kazuto, is under a lot of pressure. In the past, he could only rely on games to regain a little dignity.

This time, no matter what, we must win back a victory in the opponent's field of expertise, even if it's in the game!
