Chapter 48 - Roxas' Way of Learning Things

Third person POV

 Not long after, as he and Evil Kirito are walking down the street, Roxas shivered because of how Fuyuko had kidnapped him. The time was late afternoon at 6:01 p.m. "Man, that was scary…I only saw that situation in anime, manga, and manhwa, but it can be in real life." Anko, meanwhile, was floating off the ground with Roxas.

 "Yeah, it was," responded Evil Kirito, seriously. "You should stay vigilant against such people."

 "Yes, we will," Anko replied while avoiding his gaze.

Roxas then pulled out his phone from his backpack and saw that his friends had been texting him since 5 p.m. "Woah, they texted me a lot, thinking that I didn't come home."

Evil Kirito then took a peek at his phone, only to see that the language used for his phone was English. "Foreigner…"

 "Yeah, of course," replied Roxas while texting his friends back, "I am a foreigner, so what do you expect?"

To that the Elite Player digressed, before intimidating Roxas to watch out and not to cause trouble in the game.

While Roxas agreed, Anko strongly said, "Oh, yeah? I'll heal him every time, so you can't kill him physically!"

Evil Kirito was irritated by his response and just gave them a stern warning before teleporting from the scene.

 After that, Roxas and Anko went back to the shared house. There both of them were greeted by Minato, Shuto, and Koyuki, who were worried for him since Roxas didn't text them for the rest of the afternoon after school. So, the three friends asked him what had happened and if he was okay. In response, Roxas and Anko revealed to them what had happened after school, including his dream-vision with Klein. A few minutes later, his friends were shocked with fear and couldn't believe that someone from their class would do such a thing. Roxas agreed, before mentioning and describing the taste of the chocolate Fuyuki had shoved into his mouth, making their fear grow more. Koyuki was scared, but in her mind, she wanted Roxas to be safe from any harm, showing the tiny, telltale signs of her feelings towards him. And so, after that, all of them settled down, trying to alleviate their fears.

 The next day, at school during lunch time, Roxas was eating his lunch at the rooftop while watching a YouTube video about the so-called free rent in South Korea. Anko was nearby watching the video, too. Roxas, like most people in his generation, was an avid viewer of YouTube and had watched a lot of videos ever since his first contact with it when he was just 11 years old. At that time, Roxas' first phone is an Apple one, before switching to Android at the age of 13. Over the years, Roxas was learning a lot more than in school, watching videos created and uploaded by his favorite YouTube content creators. Because of this, he came to have basic knowledge in various topics like psychology, economics, anthropology, economics, sociology, history, finances, architecture, aircraft design, systems, and many more topics. Roxas also watched anime on YouTube, alongside Netflix and other online anime streaming platforms. As a result, he was smart and knew a lot of stuff in both in-depth and summarized forms, as well as a ton of vocabulary and phrases.

 And as Roxas watched, Evil Eugeo teleported into the scene, inspecting the area. Roxas and Anko were too focused in the video, not showing being scared at all. And then, the Elite Player took a peek at the video but couldn't understand its message or its jargon words. Roxas' phone was off its headphones so that Evil Eugeo could hear it.

 "What…?" the Elite Player asked under his breath.

Roxas and Anko heard that and looked at him, not feeling scared at all.

 "Oh, hey there, Eugeo-san."

 "Hi there…"

Evil Eugeo didn't say anything other than, "Strange…"

After that, he went around the school rooftop to continue his patrol and inspection.

With that, Roxas and Anko continued watching the video while Roxas resumed eating his lunch.

 Later after school, both of them, alongside their team, went on a quest under the city of Chiba, clearing monsters in a dungeon. After that, Roxas and Anko, alongside Minato and Hideyoshi, went to the game's Tower to try to beat more floors. There Roxas' second attempt at the Tower was 5 floors, and Minato's was only 3. But both of them knew that their number of attempts was basically and theoretically infinite. In those fights, both of them were assisted by their spirit guardians, and in turn, Roxas and Minato synchronized with them, creating an ultimate bond that could be made in seconds. Their opponents were overwhelmed by their teamwork.
