    Zekken appears on the small island
    on floor 24, at 3:00, right?
[00:07] Gi
    Yeah.
[00:08] A
    So we can meet here at 2:30, right?
[00:11] All
    Okay!
[00:11] All
    Roger!
[00:11] All
    Got it.
[00:13] All
    I can't wait!
[00:14] All
    Yeah!
[00:15] All
    Maybe everyone will start talking
    about the Berserk Healer again!
[00:20] Y
    Daddy, you've got something on your face.
[00:23] K
    Ah, seriously?
[00:24] Y
    Your face is full of soot!
[00:26] K
    What?
[00:28] A
    Okay, see you tomorrow.
[00:29] All
    See you tomorrow!

[03:02] A
    Goodnight, Sada-san.
[03:05] A
    Thanks for coming every day.
[03:07] A
    Sorry to keep you here so late.
[03:11] Gi
    Not at all, miss.
[03:13] Gi
    This is my job.
[03:16] A
    Are my mother and brother already back?
[03:19] Gi
    Kouichirou-sama will be out late.
[03:22] Gi
    Your mother is in the dining room.
[03:25] A
    I see. Thanks.
[03:28] A
    Sorry to keep you.
[03:53] Ky
    You're late.
[04:01] Ky
    Make sure you're at the table five minutes early.
[04:05] A
    I'm sorry.
[04:23] A
    Thanks for the food...
[04:44] Ky
    Were you using that machine again?
[04:47] A
    Yes, I'd promised to do my
    homework with everyone.
[04:51] Ky
    You need to move your own hands when
    you do it, or you won't learn anything.
[04:55] A
    Everyone lives far away.
[04:58] A
    I can meet them easily there.
[05:00] Ky
    If you're using that machine,
    you're not really meeting them.
[05:04] Ky
    And you should do your homework alone.
[05:06] Ky
    If you do it with others,
    you'll just end up playing around.
[05:12] Ky
    Listen...
[05:13] Ky
    You don't have time to play.
[05:16] Ky
    You're two years behind the other children.
[05:18] ---
    To make up for it, you have
    to study two years harder.
[05:22] A
    I am studying!
[05:24] A
    I printed out my second-quarter report card,
    and put it on your desk.
[05:28] A
    I saw it.
[05:30] A
    But a report card from a school
    like that means nothing.
[05:34] A
    A school like that...
[05:37] Ky
    Listen, Asuna.
[05:39] Ky
    For third quarter, I'm hiring you a tutor,
     in addition to your schooling.
[05:42] Ky
    Not an internet teacher, as is popular these days.
[05:44] Ky
    I'll have them come to the house.
[05:46] A
    W-Wait, this is so sudden...
[05:49] Ky
    Look at this.
SIGN    Entry Exam Introduction
[05:54] ---
    What is this Entry Exam Introduction for?
[05:58] Ky
    For your third year, I managed
    to convince a friend of mine
[06:01] ---
    to let you take the entrance exam
    for the high school he runs.
[06:06] Ky
    A real school, not that makeshift
    one they put together.
[06:10] Ky
    It uses a credit system, so you'll be able
[06:13] ---
    to graduate in the first half of the year.
[06:16] Ky
    Then you can start college in September.
[06:18] A
    W-Wait!
[06:20] A
    You can't just decide that...
[06:22] A
    I like my school!
[06:25] A
    There are lots of good teachers.
[06:26] A
    And I can study there!
[06:29] A
    I don't need to go to another school!
[06:34] Ky
    I did my research.
[06:37] Ky
    The school you're attending is
    barely worthy of the name.
[06:41] Ky
    The curriculum is sloppy.
[06:43] Ky
    The classes are easy.
[06:45] Ky
    The teachers are a bunch of nobodies,
    with no real experience.
[06:50] A
    Y-You don't have to put it like that...
[06:56] Ky
    They claim it takes care of the
    students whose education
[07:00] ---
    was delayed because of the accident,
[07:01] Ky
    but they really want all the children
[07:04] ---
    who spent two years killing each other
    in one place, so they can monitor them.
[07:09] Ky
    It's practically a prison.
[07:14] A
    I'm one of those "children who spent
    two years killing each other," Mom.
[07:21] Ky
    All your friends are taking
    entrance exams this year.
[07:26] Ky
    Doesn't that bother you a little?
[07:29] A
    It doesn't matter if it takes me
     another year or two to get into college.
[07:34] A
    And I don't necessarily have to attend college.
SIGN    Third Year Entry Exam Introduction
[07:37] Ky
    You do!
[07:38] Ky
    You have talent.
[07:40] Ky
    You do know all your father and
     I have done to nurture it, right?
[07:47] A
    It's up to an individual to decide
    how they'll live, isn't it?
[07:50] A
    Right now, I don't have the answer,
[07:52] A
    but I think I'm about to find
    what I really want to do!
[07:55] A
    I want to keep going to this school
    for another year, so I can find it!
[08:01] Ky
    No matter how many years you're there,
    it won't give you any more options.
[08:05] Ky
    Listen, Asuna.
[08:06] Ky
    Your mother doesn't want you
    to lead a miserable life.
[08:11] Ky
    I want you to have a career you can be proud of,
    no matter to whom you're speaking.
[08:15] A
    My career?
[08:17] A
    Then who was that man you made me
    meet over New Year's, in Kyoto?
[08:21] A
    He was talking like I was
    already engaged to him.
[08:26] A
    You're the one who's limiting my options!
[08:34] Ky
    Marriage is part of your career.
[08:37] Ky
    If you marry someone poor, you'll regret it.
[08:41] Ky
    You won't be able to do whatever
    it is that's so important to you.
[08:45] Ky
    But with Yuuya-kun, you won't have to worry.
[08:49] Ky
    A countryside bank, run by a single family,
[08:51] Ky
    is much more stable than a
    mega-bank with many factions.
[08:59] A
    You didn't feel bad for any of it, did you?
[09:02] A
    The man who caused so much misery for so many,
    who caused that whole incident,
[09:06] A
    and who almost bankrupted RCT was
    Sugou Nobuyuki, the man you chose.
[09:11] Ky
    Stop it!
[09:13] Ky
    I don't want to hear about him.
[09:16] Ky
    It was your father who liked him
    and wanted you to marry him.
[09:21] Ky
    He's never had a good eye for people.
[09:24] Ky
    It's okay... Yuuya-kun is a little introverted,
[09:28] Ky
    but that means you don't have to worry.
[09:31] A
    Anyway, I have no intention of marrying him!
[09:35] A
    I'll pick my own partner!
[09:37] Ky
    That's fine.
[09:38] Ky
    Anyone, as long as they're worthy of you.
[09:42] Ky
    Just so we're clear, that does not
[09:44] ---
    include a child like that, from that facility!
[09:50] A
    You didn't... You investigated him?
[09:53] Ky
    Please understand.
[09:54] Ky
    Your father and I want you to be happy.
[09:58] Ky
    You're capable of starting any
    number of promising careers.
[10:08] A
    Let me think about the transfer for a while.
[10:11] Ky
    You have until the middle of next week.
[10:14] Ky
    Fill it out, print three copies,
[10:16] ---
    and put them on the desk in my study.
[10:22] A
    Mom...
[10:24] Ky
    What?
[10:26] A
    You're ashamed of my dead grandma
    and grandpa, aren't you?
[10:30] A
    You're angry you weren't born into a rich,
    important family, aren't you?
[10:36] Ky
    Asuna, come here!
[10:38] Ky
    Asuna!
[10:55] Ky
    Kirito-kun...
[10:58] Flashback
    What are you planning to do with your future?
[11:03] Flashback
    I think I'm going to go
     from a player to a creator.
[11:07] Flashback
    A creator?
[11:09] Flashback
    What kind of game will you make?
[11:09] Flashback
    Not a game... A man-machine interface to replace
[11:13] Flashback
    our current full-dive technology.
[11:15] Flashback
    I've been frequenting a lot
    of tech forums, to study.
[11:18] Flashback
    But they're all in English, so it's pretty rough.
[11:23] A
    I want to stay by Kirito-kun's side,
    and chase after the same dream.
[11:28] A
    But...
[11:30] Flashback
    You're strong, Asuna.
[11:32] Flashback
    Much stronger than I am.
[11:34] A
    I'm not strong!
[11:37] A
    I was only able to be a warrior in that world.
[11:43] A
    Lightning Flash Asuna of the
    Knights of the Blood Oath is gone...
[11:49] A
    The real me is powerless...
[12:08] K
    Hey.
[12:09] A
    It's rare for you to be here first, Kirito-kun.
[12:12] K
    It happens sometimes.
[12:41] A
    Hey, do you remember the first time
    you came to my room in Selmburg?
[12:47] K
    I don't mean to brag, but my memory is terrible.
[12:52] K
    But I do remember that.
[12:55] A
    Really?
[12:56] K
    Of course.
[12:58] K
    I got that really rare ingredient item,
[13:01] K
    and you made me a stew.
[13:05] K
    That meat was so good...
[13:07] K
    Sometimes, I still remember it.
[13:10] A
    You only remember food, don't you?
[13:20] A
    It's almost time...
[13:21] A
    We have to go.
[13:23] K
    Asuna, if you're going to fight...
[13:27] K
    U-Um...
[13:29] K
    No...
[13:30] K
    Zekken's strong.
[13:32] A
    Liz and the others told me all
    about how strong they are.
[13:36] A
    But I still can't believe you lost...
[13:41] A
    By the way, Leafa-chan said you were saying
    something to them during the duel.
[13:45] A
    What were you talking about?
[13:47] K
    Um, something was bothering me.
[13:50] A
    What?
[13:54] K
    I asked...
[13:56] K
    "You're totally living in this world, aren't you?"
[14:00] K
    Zekken answered with a wordless smile
[14:02] K
    and a charge skill at incredible speed.
[14:05] K
    That speed was beyond the limits.
[14:09] A
    "Totally living in this world"?
[14:11] A
    Do you mean they're a really heavy user?
[14:15] K
    No.
[14:16] K
    I wasn't referring to a single VRMMO.
[14:20] K
    I felt like Zekken was a product of
    the full-dive environment itself.
[14:25] A
    What does that mean?
[14:28] K
    I don't want to give you any preconceived notions.
[14:31] K
    I want you to feel the rest for yourself.
[14:39] L
    This is what will happen if you take
    your eyes off them for a second.
[14:45] L

[14:47] L
    but it's nearly time!

    Huh? Didn't I tell you?
[15:55] Z
    You didn't!
[15:58] A
    Wait...
[15:59] A
    Is the reason you lost...
[16:03] A
    Stare.
[16:05] K
    N-No... I didn't go easy on
    her because she's a girl.
[16:10] K
    I'm serious.
[16:11] K
    Really.
[16:12] K
    At least halfway.
[16:15] A
    I don't know!
[16:18] Z
    Anyone want to go next?
[16:22] L
    Get going.
[16:24] A
    I need to go psyche myself up again.
[16:26] L
    After the first hit, you'll be all psyched up.
[16:30] L
    Now, get going.
[16:38] Z
    Miss, wanna fight?
[16:40] A
    U-Um...
[16:42] A
    Okay, let's.
[16:44] Z
    Okay!
[16:54] A
    Um, can we use the standard rules?
[16:57] Z
    Sure.
[16:58] Z
    Use all the magic and items you want.
[17:02] Z
    I'll just use this, though.
[17:07] Z
    Oh, right.
[17:08] Z
    What do you prefer? Ground or aerial fights?
[17:12] A
    Is either okay?
[17:16] A
    Ground fights, then.
[17:18] Z
    Okay.
[17:19] Z
    Jumping is okay, but no using your wings.
