[ Monday, December 3, 2026, 2:10 P.M. in the cloudy afternoon, ]

[ 3 days ago, Deku, Asuna, Yuuki and Aiko planning on visiting Akira, Soma And Aoi; Deku's cousins. But it turns out half of the people who're hospitalized for a while got slaughtered in cold blood - Even Deku's cousins were killed. With Deku and his friends were completely shocked at the terrible sight of seeing innocent people killed. Especially, with Deku - As he sees his only family's lifeless bodies only trigger his sadness and anger.. as he see the one who killed his family and it was his doppelgänger; Deku Black. As Deku chased him down and he battled him... it was a fierce battle but with Deku's having trouble, he wasn't strong enough to handle Black. Then later, Deku was saved from Black thanks to Kirito. Then Asuna and the others came as well. It wasn't long for them to face against Black, as Black exposed Deku's actual feelings about Kirito and Asuna; Kirito and Asuna denied it and Yuuki questioned it for herself. Then later, as they treated his wounds, Deku was still unconscious after the fight against Black... now with Kirito, Asuna, Yuuki, Aiko, Alice, Eydis and Medina - ]

"And here today, 5 patients were injured and 9 others were killed in cold-blood. One of the doctors; Doctors Kurahashi witnessed of the killer who killed 3 patients. It appears that killer looks like a 18 teenager but it's someone who's a "Doppelgänger" it may look like a teenager but it's not the real one, Doctor Kurahashi said to us moments ago. It's a tragedy for those innocent people who're killed for what unknown reason. The police are investigating the crime scene at this moment. May them all rest peacefully in the afterlife."

[ Kirito and the others were watching the news channel about the massacre in the hospital - ]

"I just can't believe this. This is too much." Asuna said

"I know. This totally makes things worse." Aiko said as Kirito spoke to Alice

"Alice? Do you think the administrator - Quinella, could be plotting something? The school's destroyed by Joe and Volt. Deku Black killed Deku's family and the other innocent people." Kirito said as Alice was thinking of the same thing

"I was thinking about that as well. The way things are going right now, it's a massacre. With Joe and Volt destroyed the school aggressively, they could've anyone outside of school but they didn't." Alice said

"But they decided to take us out instead, but they failed." Medina said

"Maybe they got too greedy and thought they could finish us out with only them two." Eydis said

"Or maybe, Quinella order them to lose on purpose?" Alice said

"Could be? But we don't know if they were ordered or not." Medina said

"Good point. Knowing those two, they're really brutes." Eydis said

"But we don't need to worry about them, we got them paralyzed while they're knocked out." Alice said

"Okay, now that's out of the way - Back with the battle with Deku Black." Kirito said

"Yuuki, you said that move was called - "Mother's Rosario"? Is that correct?" Alice asked Yuuki

"Yes. I... really don't know how I did it?! It just happened - After I canceled his assault, I just charged up my sword and strike him." Yuuki said as she look at her sword

"You didn't say the word - "Enhance Armament" or "Release Recollection"?" Alice said

"Um? No. I just unleashed my sword skill, that's it." Yuuki said as Kirito spoke

"Wait? Could it be incarnation?" Kirito said

"Incarnation?" Eydis question

"To put it simply, the concept of «Incarnation» is originally described as the usage of sheer willpower. Basically which enables an individual or group to alter the state of the world through imagination and will. Just like Yuuki unleashed her original sword skill." Kirito explains
