Eugeo and I had been in the capital for a year, we left Rulid 2 years ago. Every night, I always thought of Kirito. By the Gods, I missed him so much. To tell the Truth, I loved him but I couldn't tell that to Eugeo. It could ruin our friendship, break his will to fight, or... it could make him so depressed and jealous that he would want to kill Kirito. I couldn't risk that. So I hid it from him. Now, I lay in my bed and reflected on my current situation. I was enrolled in the Sword Academy. Me and Eugeo. I helped Eugeo in the Sacred Arts as he practiced with the sword. I was so close. I stood up and walked outside, I sat on a bench and looked up at the Grand Cathedral. "Are you crying too, Kirito?" I whispered as salty water began to leak from my eyes. "I hope not... because that would mean you've given up. You smile, no matter what happens, you never stop smiling and joking around. I hope that you're happy... happy to be alive, happy that we're coming to take you home. And happy that I'm here for you." I said as I wiped the tears from my eyes. "Please, hold on just a bit longer... wait for me. Wait for me, me and Eugeo! We're almost there Kirito, just another year or so, and we'll be headed back home. So wait, Wait for us Kirito!" I said, as if he could hear me. But still, part of me hoped that my feelings would reach him. I then felt it again, Kirito. I felt his hand on my shoulder, whispering. "Don't cry, Alice. It's going to be okay. We will meet again...." I turned my head to see if he was there but no one was. I then held my hands over my heart. He wasn't here, he was there. He was in the Cathedral, waiting for me but he heard me. He heard me crying, he was still at my side. I felt that warmth in my chest again. I then smiled and went back to my dorm. I went to sleep.
The next day, I woke up and went to get the Demon Tree sword. The blacksmith said I could have it for free if i could lift it. So, I then picked up the black sword and swung it. The blacksmith kept his word so I left. I didn't bother naming it as I couldn't come up with anything so I left it as it was. I then left to test it out in a field. I giggled a bit, it was a really good sword. I then sheathed it on my back, I'm not sure when I stopped sheathing it on my hip but I now sheathed it on my back. My combat attire was a light golden chestplate with shoulder armor, knee pads, and forearm plating. I had leather pants and covered by white and blue long-skirt. However, I had gotten Elite Disciple Levantein's uniform dirty. I gasped and knelt down. "Elite Disciple Levantein!" I said to him. "Practicing the sword is forbidden on a day of rest." He told me. "I know but I have no calling, sir. This is simply my pass time." It technically wasn't a lie as I never formally chose a calling. He chuckled. "We are alike in that respect. We both seek a reason to use a sword, even on a day of rest. I'll forgive you for that transgression." He said and I smiled. "Thank you very much, Elite Disciple Levantein." "Don't thank me yet. I never said I'd forgive you for this." He pointed to the dirt stain and I gulped.
Standing in the arena, looking at Volo, he had requested a first strike dual. I told him that I was the one being punished so it was his choice. I slowly drew my jet-black sword.
