Back in the real world, both Benny and Dutch were jumping around the house, happy for their rejuvenation and increased physical abilities.
They were flipping around and doing stunts, and all sorts of other things in joy.
We decide to go outside on a walk before dinner, as we step outside the house, we find ourselves face to face with a young man, of about my age, with moss-looking green hair, looking lost and somewhat confused.
He wears a belly warmer, a bandana on his arm, and some normal clothes.
He notices us and quickly runs up to us, he looks like he's starving, but instead of asking for food, he asks for a job, seemingly refusing to take charity from anyone.
"Sure, you can join our organisation." before I'm able to speak Dutch interjects, a strange light in his eyes.
He turns to me and whispers "A skill of mine, lets me see potential, and he has it in spades."
I nod, "So, what's your name?"
"Zoro, Roronoa Zoro, I'm a swordsman, although I seem to have lost my swords, have you seen them?."
"No, sorry, my name's Aoi, Aoi Shimura, nice to meet you!"
He nods, before grinning lightly "So I probably should have asked before, what's my job going to be?"
"You'll be fighting alongside us in the digital world!"
"Cool! What's that?"
Both Dutch and Benny's faces falter as they stare at him, in confusion.
...
After a long explanation about the digital world we headed out to a restaurant, Zoro almost wandered off several times, but I made sure that he wouldn't get lost.
After eating we eventually returned to the house, preparing a room for Zoro. I ordered a headset for him, and sent some DM's to the current Clan members for them to prep for a journey to Tenchi.
...
The next day, I got on early in the morning waking up Benny alone as we hopped into the game and began flying, we'd made sure to have everyone log off whilst on his Embryo, so that they would all reappear onto the ship.
I got Benny to start flying us over to Tenchi, so that we could do two things, the first is make sure that Zoro doesn't get lost, by going to pick him up. The second, is to potentially scout out some new members, since Tenchi has swordsmen and more with really strong abilities.
About half a day later (in-game) all of the others started getting on, first Gunner and then the siblings.
I greeted them as soon as Tenchi began to appear on the horizon, the ancient Japanese buildings, the Sakura trees in full bloom, all in all a very beautiful country. We flew towards the capital city, and when we were nearly there Gunner logged out quickly and then back in a few minutes later having told Zoro to hop on.
While we wait in the sky, I take the Left Arm of Zaqqum and I move it near my own arm, a sharp pain ensues as my arm is consumed by the Item, my fire resistance increases, the arm assimilates my Embryo Mark, but I feel a change within the embryo.
My mind connects with nature and with darkness further, I can feel both life and death, two contradictions within the same item.
We see Zoro drop down from the sky, his appearance the same as in real life.
We land the ship near him and grab him, put him onto the ship, and take him directly to the Job crystal. I put his hand on it and tell him to get 3 classes, Scout, Swordsman & Samurai. He gets those three classes as well as the Pirate class, which seems to also be available here.
He notices the mini-map in the to right corner of his vision, and stares at it for a but, or at least he seems to (I don't really know what he's doing, but he's looking intently)
This means that regardless, he'll always be able to find us and able to find the important locations that we're going to. (Or at least that's how it's supposed to work)
A/N: Sry for the very short chapter, but I have to focus intensively on work for the next 2 weeks so I'll be going on a short hiatus, however that does not mean that this has been dropped.
