Exposed! Wasn't This Just Asking for a Beating?...

For Yuuki Shouzo, this period had been agonizing. For Sugou Nobuyuki, it had been much the same. He increasingly felt a sense of unease closing in on him. The longer it went on, the greater that unease became. His heart pounded constantly, afraid that the man called Wu Yan truly possessed the ability to wake Asuna...

Therefore, Sugou Nobuyuki could only desperately tell himself that such a thing was impossible!

The victims of 'SAO' had been trapped in a virtual world for three whole years. Three full years, and even with the combined efforts of the entire nation, not a single person had managed to save them from that virtual world. Now, the virtual world Sugou Nobuyuki used to imprison three hundred players, including Asuna—'ALO'—also used the Cardinal System. Although it was merely an older version, its performance was extremely stable.

On top of that, there was the NerveGear full-dive device, which no one had managed to crack in three years. It was not impossible to intervene through external means, but such a method simply had not been invented yet...

Thinking of that, the unease in Sugou Nobuyuki's heart settled considerably...

Unfortunately, the method Wu Yan used to save Asuna was not some other method, but a mysterious supernatural power in this world!
