Chapter 18: Chapter 17 – About the Elite Players
Third person POV
"What are the Elite Players?" Roxas and Minato asked Anko simultaneously while looking at him.
"Oh, right, I forgot about that part," replied Anko with a little embarrassment on his face. "Those guys are the players who were not only very strong and skillful but also are some sort of administrators of this game."
"Woah, what?" Roxas commented with a Filipino accent while being stunned.
Anko then nodded. "Yes, and the creator of this game gave them the responsibilities of being the big bosses that were nearly impossible to defeat, as well as being the ones who keep an eye on the conduct of the players."
"Woah…"
"So that means that guy, named Kirito, was one of them?" Minato asked.
"Yes, alongside his friends, too," Anko responded. "Any player who goes against them or violates the game's rules and guidelines, those guys will punish that player brutally."
Roxas and Minato are now scared of the Elite Players' punishment on wrongdoing players.
"Oh, no…"
"So that means…"
"Yes, and on a side note," Anko seriously replied back, "if any of you die in this game, you'll die in real life, too."
This makes Minato want to check his phone for any requests from potential deceased players of this game right now.
Roxas, however, remained confident that Anko will always protect him by healing him every time.
"Yes," Anko said to them, "be careful, guys."
Because of that, Roxas needed to be tactical in his task of bringing Kirito and his friends back to their senses.
But this person will use his unique and unorthodox ways of doing it.
