"I think [Mist Cloak] is even more awesome! It's practically invincible when paired with Ghost-type Pokémon!"

"Brothers, does anyone have his contact information? How much does Bai Hao charge for his self-developed skills?"

"Dude, ordinary trainers shouldn't even think about it. Even the 'Water Gun Barrage' from Elite Four member Lee costs a million RMB in China, are you sure you can afford it?"

"Putting everything else aside, this [Water Barrage] + [Explosive Water Wave] + [Mist Concealment] combo alone is worth at least 500 million! If the Alliance doesn't offer [tutorial compensation], I don't think asking for 1000 million would be unreasonable!"

"..."

[New Trainer Greninja]

【White-haired Greninja】

Greninja's Self-Developed Moves

A series of trending topics quickly pushed the video's views to their peak.

Bai Hao, on the other hand, had a meal with his teammates whom he had selected in the cafeteria.

A combination of handsome men and beautiful women is already very eye-catching, let alone a team like Bai Hao's, where the females outnumber the males.

Although the atmosphere among the girls was a bit strange, they got along fairly well.

Everyone quickly agreed to Bai Hao's suggestion to form a team.

Bai Hao originally thought that Yukinoshita and Chitanda would be more difficult to deal with.

But both women readily agreed.

After the meal, Bai Hao, the only boy in the group, handed over the personnel configuration list of their group to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze seemed to be directed at a scumbag, but Bai Hao chose to ignore it.

ten minutes later.

In front of the club room.

Bai Hao stared blankly at the nameplate on the door, "Aincrad," for a moment.

(Please add to your favorites, give flowers, monthly tickets, and reviews~ Thank you all for your monthly tickets and flowers~ I was too busy yesterday and missed one chapter, but I will make up for it as soon as possible!)

Chapter 38, Unexpected Changes! Shizuka Marikawa is Caught in an Apocalyptic Crisis! (2/5)

Seeing Bai Hao's delighted expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha was very pleased.

She smiled gently and explained.

"Club names like 'Elf Club,' 'Elf Battle Club,' and 'Elf Duel Club' have already been registered."

"I think... Haojun shouldn't mind me using this name, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao turned and stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a rather strange look in his eyes.

"Shiyu, may I ask you something... you must have read the novel, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not quite understanding Bai Hao's meaning, but still responded firmly.

"Of course I've seen it!"

Bai Hao's gaze grew increasingly strange as he pressed for an answer.

Have you forgotten how many people died in Aincrad?

"..."×6

Yukino Yukinoshita and Eru Chitanda only learned yesterday that Shiro Hiroshi is Kayaba Akihiko.

Although both girls have the "literary girl" attribute, they usually read "romance light novels" or "literary classics".

They didn't know anything about Sword Art Online.

However, after returning home last night,

The two immediately ordered the complete set of "Sword Art Online" online, planning to read the light novel in their spare time.

Before this, the two women did not know the meaning of "Aincrad".

After hearing from Kasumigaoka Utaha that it was a place name from Haku Hiro's novel, they agreed to use it as the name.

Yui Yuigahama and Megumi Kato were unaware of Bai Hao's true identity.

Although Ran Mouri knew about this and had read the novel, she was unaware that a club had been established in Kasumigaoka.

This is the first time we've all met here.

None of them expected that Kasumigaoka Utaha had prepared such a big surprise here!

Seeing that the others were silent, Yui Yuigahama cautiously raised her right hand and asked with some confusion,

"Um... what does 'many people died in Aincrad' mean?"

Bai Hao knew that none of them had read the novel, so he gave a brief explanation.

"There's a novel set against the backdrop of a 'murder game.' Players who die in the game will also die in real life."

"And the world in that game is called [Aincrad]."

"In the novel's setting, nearly half of the players died there."

"what?!"

Yui Yuigahama was startled by Bai Hao's words. After hearing Bai Hao's explanation, she suddenly felt that the classroom was eerie.

Yui felt a little scared, but mostly confused, and whispered, "..."

"Then why did you choose this name?"

"It feels really ominous..."

As soon as she spoke, Yui remembered that the name seemed to have been given to her by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

He quickly covered his mouth, his eyes full of apology.

Bai Hao glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose face was flushed, smiled, pushed open the classroom door, and explained.

"Because I am the author of this novel."

"Eh?!!"

Yui Yuigahama gasped in surprise.

Bai Hao walked into the classroom, waved to the girls, and comforted them.

"【Aincrad】is a world created by 【Kayaba Akihiko】."

“With me, Kayaba Akihiko, here, you don’t need to worry about your safety.”

Yukinoshita and the others were inexplicably moved when they heard Bai Hao's words.

The club room was about the same size as a regular classroom. A few people casually moved some chairs and sat together, discussing matters related to their study trip to the secret realm.

Bai Hao briefly explained his thoughts to the women.

"I plan to explore the secret realm by myself after entering. You all just need to prepare your own things."

"Eh?!"

Yui Yuigahama's expression changed drastically, and she asked anxiously,

"Isn't Haojun going to team up with us?!"

Bai Hao shook his head and explained,

"The outer area is full of beginner-level Pokémon that are below level 10. My Greninja is completely useless here."

"But……"

After hesitating for a long time, Yuihama could only finally admit to Bai Hao's statement.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt quite regretful upon hearing this.

She was really looking forward to going camping with Bai Hao.

But she couldn't let Bai Hao give up this opportunity to improve himself just because of her own selfish desires.

The [Forest Desert] covers a very large area and has existed for more than two hundred years.

There's hardly anything left in the outer areas, except for some beginner Pokémon that are below level 10.

Bai Hao was just wasting his time by staying in the outer areas.

Bai Hao offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I care about my safety more than you do."

The girls were quickly persuaded by Bai Hao.

In their eyes, Bai Hao has now reached the pinnacle of ordinary people's lives.

We have everything we need now, so there's no need to go too far or take unnecessary risks.

Just as the girls were discussing what to bring on their school trip, Bai Hao suddenly paused, stood up, and said,

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back!"

Bai Hao checked the chat group notifications as he walked towards the restroom.
