Asuna asks about the man she had to meet last month to which her mother says that marriage is part of a career, and that she will not let her marry someone inferior, like people from her current school. Meanwhile, Zekken turns out to be a challenger who posted a notice on MMO Tomorrow, offering an 11-hit combo Original Sword Skill, but defeated over thirty players so far, even Kirito who later told Lisbeth Zekken would take the Dual Blades skill in SAO instead of him as the fastest player, so they never met in SAO.Īsuna logs out to have dinner with her mother Yuuki Kyōko who tells the daughter she is hiring a private tutor so Asuna can transfer to a school superior to the SAO survivors school. She thinks about it, and it obviously makes her uneasy and distracted. Asuna says she was away with her mother in Kyoto and had no gear to check things out online. Lisbeth asks Asuna whether she has heard of Zekken, the Absolute Sword, explaining Zekken is the nickname of an unbeatable sword-wielding player. Kirito, Pina, and Yui are stacked on top of each other asleep at the mantelpiece, making everyone sleepy too. On January 6, 2026, Asuna, Leafa, Lisbeth, and Silica are in the house, using FullDive to do homework together. The house is now a place of the old friends to meet.
