Chapter 400 Congratulations, You Have Graduated

In past trainings, Lisbeth had rushed towards Madara with her fists waving countless times.

But this time, it's different.

Lisbeth and Makoshita Rikishi ran towards Madara side by side, and when they came up, they kicked Madara's waist and calf with Konoha Tornado.

Madara had already expected it and put his hand on his side to catch it firmly. At the same time, he also raised his other leg and threw it towards the two of them.

However, what surprised him was that Lisbeth and Makoshita Rikishi also anticipated his attack and raised their arms in advance to block it.

Just as Madara was familiar with their starting moves, Lisbeth and Makoshita Rikishi also knew exactly what Madara would do after receiving their attacks.

"Some progress."

Spot nodded and praised.

At this time, they obviously wanted to fight with the determination to kill the opponent, but the scene was extremely harmonious, just like they usually trained.

The battle here has begun.

Kirito on the other side was still standing still. Even if Izuna was only five meters away from him, he still couldn't lift the sword in his hand.

Powerless

He knew exactly what he should do now, but his body was resisting his consciousness.

He wanted to attack Quan Nai, but every cell in his body seemed to refuse.

"New~"

Xuan La glanced at Kirito beside him and rushed towards Izuna.

But neither of them can be a match for Senna, let alone a single Pokémon, Zura?

Within a few seconds, Izuna's blood bar was cut to pieces.

"Kirito, let me teach you one last thing."

Quan Nai looked at his disciple and sighed, raised the sword in his hand and swung it towards Xuan La, "Men, you can't escape from the battle. Every time you escape, your companions around you may die. ”

Keng!

Xuan La looked at Kirito standing in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Master, I want to go back."

‘I haven’t compensated Xiao Nao yet, I still want to marry Asuna, I can’t stay here. ’

At this moment, Kirito was no longer confused and his eyes became focused.

"Then, kill me."

Quan Nai pursed her lips and smiled, then took off all the equipment on her body except weapons.

It's not like Nissan.

Nissan would choose to deliberately let go and find an opportunity for Lisbeth and Makoshita Rikishi to kill him together.

And he will attack with all his strength, but he will remove all defenses. As long as Kirito and Yula attack him once, Izuna will die.

Kirito and Yula did not hold back, but chose to attack with all their strength.

Because they knew very well how powerful Izuna was, and they had no chance of attacking him if they didn't attack with all their strength.

"Kirito, will you go to the 101st floor?"

During the battle, Izuna was still in the mood to chat with Kirito, looking extremely relaxed.

"Of course, I want to see Xuan La go home before I can go back with peace of mind."

"Well, you have to make a choice after careful consideration."

"?"

Kirito always felt that what Izuna said had profound meaning, but he couldn't be distracted like Izuna, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he just wrote it down in his mind.

"Xuanla, use the freezing wind."

Kirito felt that if they continued to rely on swordsmanship to fight, they would never be able to kill Izuna, so he decided to use other methods.

"."

Izuna nodded secretly as she watched Kirito and Yula change their fighting ideas.

If Kirito chooses the [Travel Between Two Worlds] option after going to the 101st floor, then when he comes to Pokémon Island, he will have to learn the fighting method of a trainer.

Now Izuna is training Kirito as a trainer in advance just for that possibility.

Izuna swung her sword and used her skills to offset the damage of the freezing wind.

But the key to this move is to reduce the target's speed.

Kirito could also predict this situation. He himself was rushing to use the freezing wind to slow down Izuna.

"Crazy scratching."

Seeing that Senna's speed had slowed down, Kirito seized the opportunity and launched a violent attack with Yura.

In this kind of data world, Izuna has no way to maximize her strength. Naturally, she can't just use a sword to block the fierce attack of Kirito and Yura's "Four Swords". She needs to dodge by herself. The skill is to dodge attacks that are too late to dodge.

But the fierce freezing wind just now was used to slow down Izuna's dodge speed.

As a result, this battle ended earlier than everyone imagined.

It may have only taken five minutes before Kirito slashed Izuna's arm with a knife, clearing his health bar on the spot.

Seeing Izuna disintegrating into pieces little by little in front of him, Kirito's pretending to be strong finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Bang!

"Thank you, Master, for your teachings this year! I will never forget you for your great kindness and kindness, Kiritani Kazuto!"

Kirito threw away the weapon in his hand, suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Izuna, tears flowing down his face and disappearing on the ground in an instant.

"... Even if I go back there, I still have to practice Uchiha-style swordsmanship."

Izuna looked at Kirito who was kneeling at his feet, and his nose ached with emotion, but he didn't give too many instructions.

He thought they would always meet.

When Kirito stood up again, Izuna had completely disappeared.

Kirito took a deep breath, and then looked at the battle on the other side, which had entered its final stage.

Madara's HP has dropped to the point where he might be defeated if he is hit by another punch, while Lizbeth and Makuhita still have at least half of their HP left.

Kirito observed for more than ten seconds and suddenly found something wrong.

Madara not only did not dodge Lizbeth and Makuhita's attacks, but took the initiative to face them.

Lizbeth and Makuhita were very hesitant when they punched and kicked. Sometimes they were about to attack Madara, but suddenly stopped their actions forcibly.

Therefore, this battle between master and apprentice was full of weirdness.

"What are you doing, Lizbeth."

Madara finally couldn't help asking.

"I can't do such a thing as killing my teacher!"

Lizbeth stopped her attacks again and again, with stubborn tears in the corners of her eyes.

"."

Madara stopped his actions and looked at the girl in front of him quietly.

Lizbeth also stood still when she saw this, lowered her head and wiped her face with her hands.

"Liz."

Ban raised a hand and placed it on Lizbeth's head. "I was not here on your birthday on the 18th of last month. I hope it's not too late to say it now. Happy 16th birthday to you."

"Yeah."

Lizbeth nodded vigorously, then opened her hands and threw herself into Ban's arms.

"It's time to say goodbye. Your parents are still waiting for you."

".Yeah."

Lizbeth took two steps back and tried to make herself laugh. "When I return to the world over there, I will eat well, exercise every day, and I am already 16 years old, an adult. I will not cry easily anymore. I will definitely study hard to make my parents live a happy life."

"."

Ban smiled as Lizbeth kept talking, and reached out to wipe the tears that were on the girl's face again.

"So. So. Don't worry about me at all. Liz will live well!"

"I know."

Ban nodded, then stretched out two fingers and gently poked Lizbeth's forehead, "Remember the first move I taught you? Use that to say goodbye."

After that, Ban took two steps back.

Lizbeth stretched out her hand and rubbed her face, and put on a sunny smile again.

"Master, thank you."

Lizbeth took a deep breath, then leaped forward, turned her body, and swung her right leg, "Konoha Whirlwind!"

Looking at the girl's valiant demeanor, perfectly replicating his movements, Ban narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Liz, congratulations, you've graduated."

Bang!

As Lizbeth's last blow fell, Ban's health bar also reached the bottom, and turned into countless fragments and disappeared in Aincrad.

The next moment.

"You can move now!"

"Did we succeed?"

"That's amazing, Lizbeth and Kirito, that's amazing!"

Countless players and Pokémon regained their freedom, and they all stood up.

Looking at the dialog box that popped up in front of them, they said goodbye to each other or made appointments in reality.

[Congratulations on your achievement: 'Liberate Aincrad']

[You will be forced offline in 10 minutes, I wish you a happy life in the future]

But not all players are cheering and jumping for joy at this moment.

Some are happy and some are sad.

This is the dialog box that popped up in front of all non-'trainer' players.

And in front of the group of 'trainers' and 'negligent people', another dialog box popped up.

Please choose.

[Continue to challenge more difficult bosses, and die if defeated. Successful challenges will open the teleportation array to the 101st floor]

Or.

[Forced offline after 10 minutes, return to the real world]

Many trainers looked at the Pokémon around them at the same time.

Some people choked up and couldn't say a word for a long time, and could only hold the Pokémon in their arms.

Some people promised to become companions again in the next life and chose to return to the real world.

Some people were grateful for the Pokémon's company all the time, and said that they would never forget the memories of these months together.

Some people did not change their expression, and had made the decision from the beginning to take the Pokémon to the 101st floor.

10 minutes passed.

One after another, beams of light lit up in every corner of Aincrad, and the number of players suddenly fell.

Finally.

3,400 SAO residents.

These people are either "trainers" or "negligent people".

Originally, there were 5,000 wild Pokémon in SAO, 4,800 of which found their own trainers, and the remaining 200 Pokémon were alone from beginning to end.

This means that 1,400 trainers or negligent people have "died" or given up the risk of going to the 101st floor.

Perhaps in their hearts, there are more important things in the real world, or perhaps deep down they actually always regard Pokémon as part of the "game".
