After watching the series up to the namekian planet arc (Vs Ginyu 4) and some more training, Chris' overall stats were continental. It would be multi continental soon, he thought, as he was heading out to the battle royale arena.
As he was walking, he looked back on his life. It was upsetting to think that life was this unpredictable; he had just wanted to go to the school he lost a summer for, and now he was about to lose the school year on account of accidental suicide. It was annoying, to say the least. Not that he liked school. But suppose you lost a summer of 2019, lost another summer in The Surge then lost your school year for this, of all things.
Feeling frustrated, he let his energy flow out, before collecting his thoughts. On the way, he met a nice stranger."Hello, child!" The stranger, who had the appearance of a young adult (18? 20?) said to him.
I'm at least. . . actually nevermind I just turned thirteen this January. "You too," he said, looking at the training dummies lying around. "What's your name?" He asked.
"My name is Aki," she said. "What about you?" She asked.
"Chris," he said, before firing a bang at the training dummy lying around. The training dummy flew off the ground, before landing a few feet away from its original position.
"I'm raring to do this battle royale," she said. "Even though I'm not that high in terms of power, I'm strong enough to survive for some time."
"I think so too. At least, I believe that I'll survive for some time. The highest rank for my bracket is . . . Planetary, I believe. Although, you don't necessarily have to be stronger and faster to win."
"That is true," Aki said, nodding her head. "How old are you?" She asked, attempting to start a conversation."I'm thirteen. And you?"
"Fourteen.". . . What?
"What?" Chris asked, dumbfounded. He was sure that she was 28. "If this is how she looks like at 14, how's she gonna look like at 40?""Is something the matter?" Aki said, prompting him to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"Are you sure?" She asked, staring at him. "Look me in the eye and tell me that."
"I-It's nothing, just a bit surprised that you're fourteen since you looked much older.
Aki looked at him. Then smiled.
And suddenly he was flying through the air with thirteen broken bones in various parts of his body.
Landing on his ass in pain, Chris waited a moment for it to fade before standing up and using his medical jutsu.
"Nice shot," he said, before punching her through the wall with a shinsu, chakra and ki enhanced fist. "I don't think you should have done that though; I mean, I overreacted but you nearly killed me, so . . .""Yeah, fair. But as a precedent, if you say that again, you're going to die. Okay?"
"Yes, ma'am," he said, before adding, "what power is that anyway?"
"SAO. The admin privilege allows you to give yourself abilities. I decided to give myself a time stop ability and a mental damage reflector, which basically means that if someone insults me, the damage to my self esteem is reflected in how much injuries they experience. I could make different abilities, but then I'd have to delete an ability.""I see. You think that you'll be able to increase your capacity? Cause if so, you'd be overpowered."
"Yeah. Some powers I can't get though."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that some powers are restricted to me. I once tried to make an ability in which I make an aura around me that kills my enemies, but it said 'request denied' before saying that this power was reserved for the King.""The King? Like God?"
"Yeah."
"I see. Interesting."The group of two walked in silence for the rest of the way; that is, until they ran into Arika again. The following conversation ensued:
