Be able to become as strong as the characters in the game.
This is Shino's long-cherished wish.
Shino has been working hard for this, even challenging powerful enemies that are intimidating to others. She even dares to stroke Luo Zhen's tiger beard. One can imagine how determined she is.
But...
(I am actually just an ordinary person, not a truly ruthless sniper)
Shino just wanted to overcome her weakness, not to become ruthless.
In her heart, Shino still hopes to be able to laugh and have fun with her friends like an ordinary person, instead of letting herself become a person in another world.
Just like some patients, they want to be cured just so that they can return to ordinary life, run in the sun like others, and fight for the future, instead of wanting to ascend in the daytime and become a god.
Therefore, Sinon will continue to challenge the strong, making herself stronger and stronger in the game, and also making her mind stronger in reality, and finally overcome her weakness.
Sinon just wanted to break the dark and hard shell covering her heart and free herself from the horrific memories.
As long as he could do this, Sinon might give up on himself in the game at any time.
After all, the self in the game is just data, a virtual program code.
To create such a self, Shino's original intention was to let her fight for her real self, rather than to turn into herself in the game.
Kyouji misunderstood this and seemed to only see Shino in GGO, not Shino Asada in the real world.
Shino had already been vaguely aware of this, but because Kyouji had no ill intentions, and the eyes he looked at her had only kindness and kindness from beginning to end, Shino still maintained a friendship with him until now.
Shino did not tell Kyouji these words.
It would be better to say that there was no need to tell Kyouji this in the first place.
Maybe Kyouji has some feelings towards Shino that scare her, but Shino is not thinking about these at the moment.
She had already tried her best to solve her own problems, and she really had no energy left to take care of other things.
then...
"Let's not talk about it anymore." Shino chose to change the topic, smiled at Kyouji, and said: "Not long after, the third BoB competition will officially start, and I should go back and log in to the game. What are you going to do? Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Shino changing the subject like this, Kyouji's hot eyes dimmed, and the enthusiasm just now disappeared. After giving a wry smile, he smiled.
"Well, I will also go home and log in. Although I will not participate in the BoB competition, I will still cheer for Asada-san in front of the screen."
Kyouji's smile looked a little heart-wrenching.
Shino apologized silently in her heart while speaking.
"As a result, you still haven't signed up for the BoB competition. You obviously made it to the semi-finals of the preliminaries last time. You are only one step away from reaching the finals and are qualified to participate in the main competition. If you work a little harder this time, you can Entering the top thirty.”
Regarding this, Shino really felt sorry for Kyouji.
Even though the AGI (agility) type has been gradually replaced by the STR (strength) type, this does not mean that the AGI (agility) type players will be eliminated and will not even be able to compete on the table.
Like Anfeng, he is a super AGI (agility) type player. Although he lost to the STR (strength)-VIT (durability) type champion in the last BoB competition, he was also the runner-up and second in the entire server. , already quite strong.
In BoB's ranking, almost half of the top 30 players are still AGI (Agility) players, which proves that AGI (Agility) players are just not as popular as before, and they are not completely desperate.
In this way, as long as Kyouji insists on practicing his role, he will one day become a person like Anfu, Shino can guarantee this.
Kyouji's skills are still very good. He was able to reach the semi-finals of the preliminaries in the last BoB competition and won the first three rounds. The reason why he lost in the fourth round was because he was restrained by his opponent. Otherwise, you will definitely be able to enter the finals and qualify for the main competition.
Once qualified to participate in the main tournament, it will be at least the top 30 players, no weaker than Shino who achieved 22nd place in the last BoB competition.
Shino was still very optimistic about Kyouji and hoped that Kyouji would not give up so easily.
Unfortunately, Kyouji just smiled helplessly.
"Asada-san, there's no need to comfort me. I know that's my limit, and it's impossible to go any further, unless I'm the STR (strength) type. Otherwise, it's an obstacle that the AGI (agility) type can't overcome no matter what."
Kyouji said this.
Of course, Shino still didn't agree with this view.
However, as before, Shino had no intention of correcting Kyouji.
Firstly, Shino didn't really want to meet a mirror in the main game and put a bullet into the head of the only person who could be called a friend. Secondly, Shino also hoped that Kyouji could reduce his love for games.
You know, Kyouji's stealth time is much longer than that of Shino. When Shino is in school, Kyouji will often log in at home. The time of complete stealth can be said to be several times that of Shino.
Kyouji like this really doesn’t know if he has time to study.
Once he fails to study and ends up not being admitted to a prestigious medical school, Kyouji's game is over.
Considering this, Shino did not intend to let Kyouji regain his excessive love for games.
"Then I'll go and see you at the game."
Shino stood up.
"Okay, see you at the game."
Kyouji also stood up and smiled gently at Shino.
The two walked out of the coffee shop together, and then parted ways on their way to Shino's apartment.
Looking at Shino's retreating figure, Kyouji suddenly spoke up.
"Come on! Asada-san!" Kyouji shouted loudly: "You must not lose to Luo Zhen!"
Shino paused.
Immediately afterwards, the same cold, firm and decisive look as Sinon in GGO appeared in his eyes.
"Um!"
Shino nodded heavily.
Thinking of that boy's face, Shino clenched her hands.
Although, Shino still wanted to continue the interrupted conversation with Luo Zhen that day, throw her questions to him again, and get his answers.
However, if this was not possible, then Shino would not mind at all and use his Hecate to create a path leading to his realm.
By then, the answer will no longer matter.
(I must be like you, not afraid of anything.)
With such determination, Shino quickened her pace and headed towards her apartment.
Only Kyouji was left standing there, watching Shino's retreating back.
For a long time, he didn't leave.
