As they've reached the entrance of the cave, Kirito chants a magic spell and everyone was given night vision to see in the dark cave.
Leafa: It got brighter!
Akiri: Night vision magic, huh? Pretty neat
Leafa: I guess Spriggans are good for something
Kirito: When you put it that way, it kinda hurts...
She laughs as she puts her arms on her waists.
Leafa: But you should memorize any magic you can use. Of course, the only magic you're good at is illusion magic
Kirito: Illusion magic?
Leafa: You can use it to trick people. Not that it's useful in combat though
Akiri: I disagree. You'll be surprised how useful tricking your opponents could be
Leafa: Then I guess even lame Spriggan magic might save our lives someday
She said with a giggle as she walks away.
Kirito: That hurts even more...
As they were walking, Kirito was looking at the menu and memorizing the new spells.
Leafa: Don't try to memorize them word by word. Learn what the words of power mean and recall them by associating them with the magic effects
Kirito: I never thought I'd have to do something like memorizing spells in a game from a different language
Leafa: Just so you know, the higher rank spells have around 20 words
Akiri: 20 words?
Kirito: No thanks, I'll just stick to fighting then
Akiri: I second that
Leafa: No complaints!
Suddenly, Leafa got a message and she opened it to see that it's from Recon.
Leafa: Recon again? I'm sure it's nothing, but...
She opened the message and reads it aloud.
Leafa: "I was right, be careful. S". What's this? S? Sa... Shi... Su...? Huh...?
Akiri: You can figure it out as you go. We need to keep moving.
Leafa nodded and they continued walking. Several moments later, Yui came out of Kirito's pocket.
Yui: Papa, Uncle, something's getting closer!
Kirito: Monsters?
Yui: No, players! Lots of them. 12
Akiri: Players?
Leafa: 12?! What are they doing down here?
Akiri: l got a bad feeling about this
Leafa: Me too. Let's hide and wait for them to pass
Kirito: But, where?
Leafa: Just leave that to me
Leafa said as she pushes the two of them against the wall.
Kirito: H-hey...
Akiri: What the hell are you doing?
She just giggled and she started to chant a spell that projected an illusion of a wall to hide them.
Leafa: Make sure you whisper as quietly as you can. If you're too loud, it'll break the spell
Kirito: Roger
Yui: We'll be able to see them soon
Akiri then looks down the hall and sees something approaching their location.
