Chapter 7
Suence of the ISS Kit
Finishi+ng his breakfast of cornflakes withbites, Haruyuki hurried out of his ho to school
Although today is a rare sunny day, it is still quite hu one’s unhappiness index early in the day; the tiniest ah to cover one’s entire body with sweat, but Haruyuki persisted with a pace close to jogging towards the
He is not running late; his intended destination is not his school either, but a location en route to where he nors Road, he continues to walk south along the wide pedestrian path, deviating froht at the turn
Entering the central flyover and clientle slope, he soon reaches the junction of Seven Rings and Aoue escalator, Haruyuki stops at the center of Seven Rings Line and checks the tiht corner of his vision It’s now 745am
Switching his line of vision to the lines of EVs1 underneath him, Haruyuki softly utters:
“Burst Link”
BAshi+! With that sound effect, the world is silenced and is dyed blue This is the Initial Accelerated space, which the Brain Burst progra the quantuhts by a thousand times
At first glance, the EV traffic, dyed a uniform, vivid blue, seems to have completely stopped, but a closer exa forwards by about a centie backdrop, HaruyukiList Option in Brain Burst Locating the na list of faht a trace of hesitation, he selected it and pressed “DUEL” on the resulting popup
The world changed again Froes inwards, the sky turned an inky black Scars appeared on the walls of tall buildings and convenience stores on either side of the road Every car vanished and countless broken walls spawned by the roads, including potholes and rusting gasoline barrels
The «End Of Century» stage is still a considerably windy environment, and Haruyuki couldn’t help but crack a se, but there was no stage more suitable than the current one That’s because the opponent Haruyuki had chosen e for his first «Duel», and furthermore, it hen Haruyuki – Silver Crow had made his debut as a Burst Linker
Tilting his ear attentively, it wasn’t long before Haruyuki picked up on the characteristic sound of a revving internal co fro towards Haruyuki’s position straight as an arroith the engine at full throttle, since the water-coloured Guide Cursor is practically motionless Within his heart, Haruyuki was lured for an instant to audaciously attee in the past: waiting for the opponent just before he passes directly underneath the bridge, ju kick
But Haruyuki stuck to his original plan, and before he could even see the silhouette of his opponent, ju his wings to slow his descent, he landed on the road surface gently
“Eh?”
“Crow-kun has gone down already? Why?”
This chatter caathered on the rooftops of various buildings It was probably jaw-dropping for thee; but contrary to what they believed, Haruyuki had not «Accelerated» this time for the sake of a duel
Putting his hands on his waist, it wasn’t long before Haruyuki couldheadlaine It appears that the opponent too, had noticed Haryuki and had changed gears, preparing to charge straight in; however, he had instead, raised his hands high rather than assu his lack of intention to fight
Fortunately, the opponent see from the darkness, the front and rear brake rotors of the steel ride eht reflected in the chro of the upper half of the bike The rear wheel was skidded and the bike came to a stop before Haryuki, and the rider reer while clicking his tongue:
“So Bad, you lookin’ for a fight with me but surrender before we started?”
Facing the devilish scarface mask of the avatar who is probably Accel World’s one and only motorbike rider Ash Roller, Haruyuki bowed his head and replied:
“I’ I want to discuss with Ash-san…”
The legion that Ash Roller belongs to is the Green Legion «Great Wall», whose territory is the area of shi+buya to the south, so theirterritory is of course shi+buya Yet for reasons unknown, Ash Roller can be found on the Matching List on nor for a short period of tiinah the Seven Rings road to get to and back fro Excursion» And if this is truly the case, then it is certainly very daring on his part; since it is possible to determine from the duel avatar’s spawn location the position of the bus that he is riding on, it’s difficult to protect hi
Yet upon a second thought, there are no other Burst Linkers who could be appropriately described with ‘daring’ and ‘rough,’ and therefore Haruyuki hts and walked closer to the bike Lowering his voice, he spoke:
“And, if we could talk in «Closed», it would help reat deal…”
«Closed Mode«, as it implies, is the coht, or in other words, a private duel It can be initiated with the consent of both sides, but doing so would lead the Gallery to think that the fighters were petty about being seen Further in view of everybody» is the reason why Burst Linkers throw theht wholeheartedly, so next to no one ever uses this mode
Ash Roller too huffed with dissatisfaction, but agreed in a siven the serious tone Haruyuki had used
Facing the four directions of the stage in turn, the motorbike rider shouted in a loud and clear voice:
“HeyheyHEY! Boyz an’ Girlz! Sorry that you guys can’t see Ore-saht, everyone, take it that NOTHING happened at all!”
Thunderous protests immediately erupted from every direction above on the rooftops
“Oi oi, that’s !”
“I haven’t seen Ash vs Crow for such a long tio!”
But no matter how fiercely the Gallery opposed him, when Ash added an unnecessary line:
