12 Hunting

On the next day, Kirito some yo quite early, and he felt really dirty. He left his room and started looking for a place to have a shower. He looked for a bucket, but nothing. He went into the kitchen, and he saw Elza butt naked cleaning herself with a scarf.

"What it this Elza, put some clothes on!"

Elza was cleaning her hair when she heard Kirito shouting.

"I told you yesterday that I walk around naked, you must have prepared yourself."

Korto covered his eyes with his hand and asked her where he could have a shower.

"Anyways, In trying to have a shower, so tell me where to go."

Come with me I'll show you." she responded.

Elza went into a room, where there was a bamboo trunk which a hole in the two extremities. One side was lifted to the roof and attached to a canal while the other was looking down, but high enough for Kirito to look up at it.

"What is this?"

"This Kirito is the peak of cleaning evolution, it's a bamboo shower. All you have to do is pull the lever, and water will come out of the hole right here, and if you push the lever, the water will stop flowing."

Kirito was quite impressed by her invention nodding his head as a sign of respect.

"Wow, probably the smartest thing you've ever thought of."

"It's my greatest invention, now you have a shower, Robinson is going to cook some eggs for us."

Elza left, while Kirito went back into his room, and was curious to see if there were clothes in the wardrobe. To his surprise, there was plenty of kimonos in the wardrobe. He chose a black one and went back to the bamboo shower room.

Once he was done showering, he went to the dining room where he had to sit on his knees and eat at a small table. Robinson, Kirito and Elza were both in the dining room eating eggs when Elza started a conversation concerning their actual status and why they need to stay in a low profile.

"I hope you guys all know that we might be fugitives now?"

"What do you mean?" Kirito asked without looking at her and still eating.

"Mr Kawaki informed every single noble from Toyama that he finally found someone to open the barrier for him. Once they find his body and not ours, they will assume we murdered him to take possession of the scroll."

"Well, you are the ones who dragged me here!" Robinson said worried about what would happen to you.

"Don't worry, for now, I don't think we are their top priority. Let's just settle down and wait to see how things happen." Kirito said who seemed to not care he was a fugitive.

Once they were done eating, Robinson went to collect water, while Kirito started with one of his quests. He wanted to go from easy to hard, and for him, killing mega pigs were way easier than breathing in water for about 5 minutes.

Kirito went back into the woods, and he made sure to not be sensed by any creatures thanks to one of Elza's potions. He walked slowly and vigilantly looking for a group of mega pigs until he found them. Mega warthogs had brown fur, a horn of a child' size, and had a fire torch on the end of each horn.

"Damn these things look scary as hell, luckily they haven't seen me."

Before he even noticed, a mega warthog was right behind him. Kirito let out a scream and ran for his life. The scream attracted the other mega pigs who started following him as well. Now he had 7 mega warthogs chasing him.

The warthogs were faster than Kirito, and he realized that, so he threw a fireblast to the ground which created smoke so that he could hide.

'Why am I running away? I have powers, I can deal with some pigs!' Kirito thought as he prepared a fireblast already.

As soon as one of the creatures were close he threw the fireblast at it, and the fireblast exploded and started burning the mega warthog to death.

"Skreeee!!" the warthog was screaming in pain as the flames were burning its skin.

The other warthogs joined to see what was happening, but Kirito was on the branch of a tree right above them. The branch was very unstable, so throwing a fireball right under him might result in him falling and dying in his flames.

The warthogs then separated each other to find Kirito. Once they were far enough, Kirito brought the warthog between two trees and placed tree branches with leaves on them to hide them from the predators (such as the creepers). Once he hid the corpse he looked for another warthog.

He found one eating berries. There were too many trees to get a good hit with a fireball.

'Damn it, I can't get a good hit' he said, as he looked at his katana he brought with him, 'maybe that this is the time I get my first kill with the katana...'

Kirito approached the warthog slowly with his guards up. Thanks to Elza's potion, the warthog could not scent Kirito's order. The warthog continued eating berries as Kirito was getting closer. Once he was close enough, he jumped on the Warthog and stabbed him right between the eyeballs. The warthog started moving and shaking his head everywhere, sprinting on every side and hitting trees. Kirito was still holding the sword, so he was being shared and hit, until the warthog got tired, and fell on the ground.

Kirito had a lot of bruises, and a lot of blood on his face, because of all the blood squirting from the warthog. There was a better way to kill the warthog with a sword, but Kirito was a young boy of 22, he still had a lot to learn. The rest of the warthogs were really easy to kill because one fireblast was enough to kill them. Once he had killed all of them, the green screen once again popped up

Spoiler alert!!!!!!!

Time jump of a whole year coming in the next chapters. Y'all didn't think I would show you all of his training, did you? I'm gonna do some Naruto time jump, so I'm gonna add a few new moves, but not overpowering him. I'm also going to add a new era.
