2 I Will Master This System to Become #1!

The Akagi Clan dates back to the end of World War II. After the first head stepped down from his position at the end of the war, the second generation head who ended up taking his place created a massive change which allowed the clan to prosper. The Akagi Clan spread throughout all of Japan and was able to gather a great amount of influence in many major areas of Japan. This was due to the tremendous amount of relief efforts they provided in the aftermath of the war, as well as becoming the foundation in rebuilding Japan. The main family is suppose to be civilized, smart, and an example all children should follow.

Yet....

Keane is currently having a very hard time picturing his parents like that while watching them from his crib.

"Hello my baby boy, mommy's home! I've got a lot of fun toys for you to play with! I also got baby food and diapers! I am prepared for all of what's to come! First child raising, FIGHT ON!" This is Keane's mother, Sakura. She is a little too childish and energetic for someone living in the very esteemed Akagi family.

When Keane first got to know her he thought, 'Well perhaps this means I have strict father to offset her innocence'. Sadly Keane couldn't be more wrong, his father and mother seemed to be two peas in a pod. Keane's father, Tobio, appeared to be equally as energetic, "Your daddy's back, little Keane! Want to have some fun?" He then Proceeded to pick up Keane and began to tickle him saying, "Cuchicuchicoo! Cuchicuchicoo! Cuchicuchicoo!"

What was Keane's reaction to all of this? Well... let's just say he was full of disappointment and a very large desire to simply scream out to tell them, "I AIN'T NO BABY!" When finding out how powerful his family was, even more than his pervious family, Keane was very excited. He excepted his parent's to be highly intelligent people. Yet, what Keane has witnessed completely shattered his view of them.

[Maybe they just act that way around you since you're a baby. Ever thought of that?] An angelic voice rang out inside Keane's head.

He thought for a few minutes and replied, [It is no longer possible for me to see them that way. It appears that my childhood memories have ruined my parents image. Even though it's only been half a year.] While hearing a snicker from the angelic voice, Keane went on to think that there was at least one fortunate thing about them. It was the fact that both of them were absolutely stunning! They look like there out of a fucking shoujo manga! They couldn't compare to Keane's and Seraphina's looks, but they were still good looking in their own right. His father was a well built man with jet black hair and eyes, while he does have those dark colors, the aura around him seemed very gentle. His mother had light brown eyes with her brown hair in a ponytail, along with a very good body. She had mature large breasts, which backed up her milf title, and a well rounded ass. A nice motherly body.

Now why was Keane so happy about his parents looks? Well that's obvious! His most important important wish was already assured. Yes, his looks! Keane will be able to bring his handsome self over into this world! Keane will let the world of SAO bask in his greatness as he is the most handsome man alive! How could he not be happy. Rather, he plans to improve his looks even more. Keane is not sure if it is possible to improve his already perfect looks, but to beat Seraphina he must! Even after half a year, his desire to be the world's number one beauty still remains! He will not be beat by anyone! To accomplish this he decided to use his newly acquired magic.

---

Let's roll time back to a few days after Keane's rebirth.

Keane just got discharged from the hospital and arrived at his new home while being held by Sakura. Eventually, he was left alone in his room, laying in a crib. Now that he was finally allowed some alone time, he could finally set the foundation for his new journey in Sword Art Online! Deciding it was a good time, he called Seraphina.

[Hello? Seraphina, you there? Do not keep this handsome baby waiting!]

Then something started to materialize in the empty room, "You are not handsome right now. You are simply a baby who may be slightly cute." Seraphina, after a few days of thinking how to deal with Keane, decided to go along with him thinking that she actually cared about his challenge against her, not correcting his misconception. She thought since she is not respected as an angel, she might be able to win his respect through her beauty.

While Seraphina seemed to think that calling Keane 'no longer handsome' would pacify his attitude if only a little, it appeared to have the opposite effect much to her dismay. [It's alright, for cuteness is another form of beauty! Cuteness is something that can only be granted to an individual, as handsomeness is something earned through hard work. As such, I am lucky to be graced by the god of cuteness!] Keane then tried to do another pose, however, failed to do so.

Seraphina was initially amazed by how much thought he put into the factors of beauty. Then when he ended up trying to pose all she could think was, 'cute'.

Keane then continued saying, [Don't think that this will hold me back though. As in time, I will regain my handsome self and even improve it through leaps and bounds. When I become my prime self, you will fall in face of my glory! After that I will claim you as mine! I will declare being number one, while you bow beneath me!] For a baby, it appeared he was getting a little full of himself.

Seeing a baby take this attitude Seraphina stop thinking it was cute and could only try and hold back her laughter. She thought about how hilarious it was that this baby was acting like the narcissistic individual she met only a few days ago. "Alright, good luck with that. Now shall we get down to business?"

After the angel asked this, Keane adapted the most serious expression a baby could make, [Yes we should, it is also very convenient that I can talk to you through my thoughts or else this would be complicated.] As all he could do at the moment is baby talk, this made things much easier for communicating (a/n: the [] are when someone is talking to others through their mind).

"Yes it is, now I will go on to tell you about your system. First called out 'status' in your mind."

Following what Seraphina said, Keane concentrated and in his mind stated 'status'.

A blue transparent screen then appeared in front of him with text saying:

--------------

--------------

The screen then disappeared and a new one appeared replacing it. This one stated:

--------------

<You will now choose your first job, please select one of the following:

- Beginner Businessman

- Beginner Chemist

- Beginner Marksman

- Beginner Mage

- Beginner Mathematician

- Beginner Physicist

- Beginner Swordsmanship

--------------

Keane then tried to turn his head to Seraphina to get an explanation, "You will receive a job to begin your journey. This will grant you access to an ability that is generally not allowed in this world. Every 25 levels you will be able to pick a new job, these jobs provide you with sub-jobs which you need to complete to show your mastery over the main job. To start off with, the system provides along each job, the most basic set of sub jobs to ease you into a good learning experience. Once you master all the sub-jobs provided from when you received the main job, you will be able to ask for another sub job of a more advance level within main job. For example, in 'Beginner Swordsmanship', you would receive the 'Beginner Attack' and 'Beginner Defense' sub-jobs to start off. When you complete those, you will be able to select next sub-job among the ones available within 'Beginner Swordsmanship', let's say you select 'Beginner Counter', once you finish that you will once again be able to select the next one until there are none left within 'Beginner swordsmanship'. When you finish all of the sub-jobs you will then be able to advance the main job to the next level. For example, the swordsmanship job will go like this, 'Beginner Swordsmanship' ---> 'Intermediate Swordsmanship' ---> 'Advance Swordsmanship' ---> 'Master Swordsmanship'. There are also levels above that, and with each advancement, the harder to level. Similar, to how the main jobs increase in level, the same type of sub-jobs will be available. For example, it would go 'Beginner Attack'---> 'Intermediate Attack' and so on. The main idea behind this is to become the best of the best in any job, you who is wanting to become number one, should find this challenge suitable."

At first Keane was a little overwhelmed, he was wondering what was the purpose of mastering every single aspect of a job, if all he wanted to do was improve his appearance. However, he knew that the number one beauty also needed the abilities to back himself up. Looks alone were not enough to be the undisputed number one in the world. There are many factors to claim oneself as the world's number one beauty.

With this line of thought Keane selected his job on the blue transparent screen:

--------------

<Sub jobs:

- Beginner Air

- Beginner Earth

- Beginner Fire

- Beginner Water

--------------

Keane was a little disappointed at his sub-jobs since he hoped for something like a charmer sub job to increase his looks. Rather, as there wasn't much conflict in the real world, these 4 sub-jobs may become a burden. He decided to look at the rest of the sub-jobs that were affiliated with 'Mage' job after finishing with his status.

"Now that you have finished setting up your job you should be able to see the end result of your status. For increasing the sub-jobs levels, it mainly applies how well you can use it. I will help you increase your level as you go on, so you might as well call me sensei!" Seraphina ended that with a sort of cute pose. With her appearance, it was deadly! However, thats only for a normal person. This is Keane, the world's most handsome man! He will not falter in the presence of another beauty!

Resisting any urges a baby may have towards Seraphina he responded, [Alright when training it is Finna-sensei, while outside it is just Finna.] (a/n: I was deciding between Phina and Finna. Since it was easier and looked better, I decided with Finna.)

"Why the nickname?" Seraphina was a little confused.

[We will be together for a long time, so I thought it best to give you one. I like your name, however, this will be easier.]

"Very well then." Finna wasn't sure about the nickname, but she was glad at being called sensei by this narcissistic baby. "So how does your status look?"

[Well it seems pretty anti-climatic.]
