⌜Chapter 61⌟
A week has passed.
"Oooh, this taste quite delicious. Should I just make a Toriko based game in this world?"
Tanaka wondered as he ate a meat that came from a monster called a chicken tiger.
"But I can't really make a game about that anymore since there are too many VR games in this world and ALO and GGO dominated the market so it won't work, maybe in my next life then"
Tanaka smiled, even though he said that out of boredom, he wondered if he will have a next life like this, if possible, he want a simple world without struggle of power and much less fighting, and no supernaturals, that just sounds bothersome.
If possible he wanted to focus on something that he wanted to do, for example, making games, well, that is for another time.
Tanaka then stopped eating and looked at the time, it was 8 AM.
"Its time, huh"
Tanaka finished eating the chicken at a fast speed then immediately logged off the game.
Getting out of the cabin Tanaka stretched out his body, outside, there are already people waiting for him, Tanaka opened the door to see who it was and was surprised to see who they were.
It was Ayano or also known as Silica, Rika, also known as Lisbeth.
"Oh! welcome! you guys are done with your rehabilitation?"
"Ice! Yes~! we are finally done with the rehab!"
Ayano was the first to jump into Tanaka and hugged him tightly, though, because she was small, she only hugged his legs and buried her face in his crotch.
Tanaka immediately moved and lifted her up, then made her hug his chest. He then cautiously looked around. Thankfully, there is no FBI hiding around. Tanaka sighed after knowing that.
"Its good to see you Ayano"
Tanaka acted like a big brother and hugged and patted her, he then turned to Rika.
"So how was it?"
"Its boring, I wanted to leave earlier but my mom didn't want to risk anything"
"That is good, at least, she cares for you"
Tanaka smiled at also patted her in the head.
"Stop treating me like a kid! we are at the same age!"
She pouted but didn't move his hand away.
"Okay, okay"
Tanaka laughed and teased her more, just as they were about to continue talking to each other, Kohi came wearing a specific suit and just as she was about to speak but noticed that her boss has visitors, she hesitated and didn't know what to do.
But thankfully, Tanaka noticed her.
"Oh? Are they already gathered?"
"Yes"
"Good, wait for me there, and you are also going to join Kohi so change your clothes"
"Understood"
Kohi nodded before going away.
After she got away, both Ayano and Rika looked at him with piercing gaze.
"Your assistant?"
"No, she is Hosaka's assistant. It seems like Hosaka is been busy lately that she sends her every time"
"Hmmm"
They both hummed with doubting tone.
"What?"
"Nothing, so what are you going to do that they even needed to change their clothes?"
"Oh, we are going to do a weekly guild training. You guys should join too since you want to play ALO, right?"
"Yes"
The two nodded.
"Let's go then"
Tanaka nodded before leaving with them, Tanaka found an assistant nearby and instructed them to guide Ayano and Rika to change their clothes, and he himself made his way towards his personal changing room.
Tanaka changed into a black haori clothes, it was a little loose which is to his liking, Tanaka then left the room and made his way towards the huge dojo just behind the building of the Iceforge Guild.
Arriving inside, Tanaka had already seen that almost all of the members of Iceforge guild were inside, including the rookies.
"Good, we will start our first training, everyone, horse stance"
The moment Tanaka gave his word, everyone immediately bent their body and did as he said, horse stance.
"If you don't know what horse stance is then listen! Stand up straight then put your legs apart making sure that your feet are facing forward. Be aware of your torso, make sure that your spine is straight and your posture is flat. Bend your knees and lower the upper body as if you were sitting on horseback."
Everyone followed, and it didn't take long for them to be in horse stance. Everyone had good foundation, so they easily got used to horse stance. Well, there are some struggling, such as Kohi, which is understandable because she was originally going for the assistant job but she was still dragged here.
The SAO players are also doing quite fine, Tanaka smiled seeing that everyone is working hard.
'This is quite easy' they thought.
"Then I should also work hard"
Tanaka smiled before going towards the weight rack and picked up an 300 kilogram dumbbell then put it behind his back as if it was nothing, he then picked up another two small dumbbells that weights 400 kilograms each.
"Okay, good let's start"
Tanaka said with a smile before stepping in the middle where there is a lot of space.
"Let me give you guys some entertainment while doing your training, how about a sword dance"
The new ones got excited when they heard the word sword dance, but those survivors from SAO had their body tense up when they heard the word dance.
"Madara's sword dance"
The SAO players were in shock when they heard that, they looked at Tanaka to ask if he was joking but he already has his eyes closed.
"Everyone prepare!"
Hosaka, who was second in command, immediately yelled, and so just after she yelled, a great pressure dawned upon all of them.
Kohi who was stand in front was so shocked from this pressure that she lost balance and was about to fall but a hand from her back kept her standing, Kohi took a few breaths to regain herself before turning around, there she saw her superior Hosaka was behind her.
"T-thank you""
"Save that for later, he hasn't moved yet"
Hosaka spoke as her eyes turned towards Tanaka who was at the same position with his eyes closed.
"Let's start"
