Y/N: "They're all yours, Silica switch!"
Silica: "Got it! Hyyyaa!"
*SLASH* *SHATTER!* - *SLASH* *SHATTER!* - *SLASH* *SHATTER!*
Silica: "Oh yay! I levelled up again! Yay!"
The two of us had been out here in the Floor's Labyrinth for a while now, at my level now I knew that I could easily one-shot the mobs in here, but I wanted Silica to get the Last Hits so I grabbed one of my Training Spears from my inn room, a type of weapon that no matter what will always leave a mob on 1hp and will not deplete it any further.
It also works the same way on players too...
Y/N: "Congrats Silica! You've really gotten quite strong haven't you?"
Silica: "Tee Hee! Thanks U/N! But I couldn't have gotten this far without you! Right Pina?"
Pina: "Kyuu! Kyuu!"
Y/N: "Well I definitely can't take all the credit, you really have done a fantastic job so far Silica! And you have to be nearing the end of the nineties by now right for your level?"
Silica: "Th-thanks... and yeah! I'm level 98 now! I was a little scared to go into the Labyrinth straight away, but these monsters give lots and lots of exp!"
Well... probably not as much as the Mobs do in the Hollow Area. But because the players in this world are used to the rates of exp that Aincrad allows, they can't be upset about what they don't know, right...?
And I think the great exp and item gains of the Hollow Area should be kept between the four of us who know about them for now: those being Philia, Myself, Asuna and Kirito- the latter two agreed with me when I put it forwards to them about keeping some secrets for now.
We don't know the dangers of this Hollow Area after all, and with rampant groups of Player Killing going on over there, we would rather not anybody from Aincrad be over there without the supervision of me, Kirito or Asuna, just in case...
Silica: "...? Y/N? Hey? You okay?"
Y/N: "Hmm? Oh! Sorry, I was just thinking about some things... what were you saying, Silica?"
Silica: "Oh, that's fine! I was just saying that I should now be a high enough level to head out and grind whenever I want, right?"
Y/N: "Ah... Well... I uh- I mean yes you CAN now at your level... but, if you could, could you try and wait until one of our friends can head out with you?"
Silica: "But!-"
Y/N: "-Of course, I know you're more than capable of dealing with the small fry outside of the Labyrinth now... but considering this is the only Floor that a whole bunch of us can actually access now, it's a lot busier out here on the Field than it would normally be for you, right?"
Silica: "Well, yeah... But!-"
Y/N: "-I worry that these other players, as they can be quite arrogant, they might shove you around if you're on your own out here because they think they can get away with it..."
Silica, with a sad look on her face: "So... I can't come out here on my own?"
Y/N: "Well, I didn't say that! But, before you head out: could you at least ask around to see if someone wants to come with you? Even that newer friend of ours, Leafa, she seems the sort to hold her own against pushy players!"
