When Kirigaya Naoki heard Heathcliff say that, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that the other man might suddenly decide to cause him trouble.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the other party's words put him in an awkward position again.
"By the way, I'm actually quite interested in you. We could have a friendly match sometime." Heathcliff patted Kirigaya Naoki on the shoulder.
Kirigaya Naoki's lips twitched. Could he possibly win a duel against a cheater?
The answer is naturally no. Although his own body data was incorporated into reality, the other party's was not. The other party still had the authority over this world. In fact, it could be said that as long as the other party wanted, he would still be the creator of this world.
So, is it possible for me to defeat such a creator on the creator's own territory?
GM privileges are almost unlimited, equivalent to creation, and Kirigaya Naoki doesn't want to spar with them at this time.
If you fight, you can't win; if you lose, you really lose.
In the original work, Kirito nearly defeated GM with his Starburst Stream technique, but GM ended the battle with a single thrust, thanks to Kirito's time stop.
How do you suggest we fight? We'll lock your health and defense, and in crucial moments, we can use GM privileges to stop time.
They call it a fair duel, but in reality, it's just a big shot using an alternate account to mess with you.
Just like the primordial Luo Ya's clones wandering the human world, you never know what form the other party will take when they appear before you.
In short, this is someone you can't beat, and someone you can't afford to offend.
Naoki Kiritani smiled but did not directly respond to the other party's words.
After Heathcliff left, Asuna curiously approached and asked, "Why didn't you accept his invitation? If you had, it might have made things easier to win him over, right?"
Kirigaya Naoki shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, Asuna. There's something wrong with that person."
Kirito, who had initially shown little interest, suddenly perked up. Curious, he leaned closer and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?"
Naoki Kiritani couldn't very well directly accuse the other party of being Kayaba Akihiko's alter ego, could he? He could only say with a heavy expression, "I don't know, my intuition tells me otherwise."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Kirito patted his older brother's shoulder with a smile and said, "Big brother, although the other party's expression was a bit fierce, we can't say that there's anything wrong with them, can we?"
Naoki Kiritani smiled meaningfully, offering no explanation, and the three of them shook their heads indifferently.
"Then, let's begin our strategy," Kirigaya Naoki declared to everyone.
The group began to steadily advance forward.
Continue your monster-slaying journey.
On the other side, Roya was unaware that Kirigaya Naoki had fathered so many youngest sons.
At this moment, he was troubled by a problem.
How can we solve the problem of Red Hair's dislike of studying?
He was very interested when learning swordsmanship, swinging the wooden sword with all his might, but as soon as he heard about learning magic, his expression fell instantly, and he gave me a "don't bother me" look.
When Rudius tried to teach her to read, he was immediately knocked away by Alice.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Luo Ya felt a terrible headache coming on.
He shouted, "Iris, let Rudius in! You can't possibly learn nothing!"
A cold snort came from inside; the door was tightly shut and showed no sign of opening.
Ludius looked at his older brother with a bruised and swollen face, and said aggrievedly, "Big brother, this girl is so fierce."
Luo Ya nodded in agreement. Although the other party couldn't do anything to him, they could refuse to cooperate.
This is the scene before me: the magic tutorial I painstakingly prepared is being ignored by the other person, who is just sitting to the side, turning their head to play with their hair.
No matter how many times I remind them, they just won't listen.
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling, Roya called out loudly, "Master Kyrie Irvine, what brings you here?"
"Gilead? Where is he?" Rudius looked back and was smacked hard on the head by Roya. He instantly understood.
Footsteps soon echoed inside the room, and then Alice excitedly poked her head out, shouting, "Master Kyrie Irvine?"
She regretted it as soon as she opened the door, realizing she had fallen for a trap.
Where did the Gileadians come from? There was only Roya with a gloomy face.
Alice instinctively tried to pull her head back, but unfortunately, Roja, quick as a flash, grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
Roya's face was ashen, his cold pupils sweeping across Alice's cheeks.
Alice swallowed hard and said loudly, "What do you want? I didn't do anything. I didn't skip your class, which is already giving you enough face."
Alice also felt wronged. In her opinion, the other party just wanted payment. She really had no interest in learning. Since that was the case, everyone should compromise. She would take the other party's classes, and the other party would get paid. The interests of all parties would not conflict. Wouldn't that be perfect?
This was the solution Alice came up with after a whole night of deep thought.
She was not a girl who was good at thinking, so it was really not easy for her to come up with such an idea. She was also proud of her wisdom when she came up with it.
If Luo Ya knew what she was thinking, he would probably just sneer. This girl had just backed down. Her so-called compromise was actually a way of saying that although she had backed down, she wouldn't admit defeat.
You continue your tutoring, and I'll continue my life of extravagance.
That's roughly the idea.
Alice made this choice mainly because she couldn't defeat Roya.
Actually, she refused at first and tried to confront Roya head-on. But as it turned out, she couldn't win against him and was chased all over the house. When she told her father and grandfather, they just smiled and didn't say anything. This made Alice realize that her family was determined to push her into a fire pit.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to simply stay indoors and not go out.
Her idea was simple: since violence couldn't solve the problem, she would resort to nonviolent non-cooperation, shut herself in, and sulk with herself for three days. She was sure that this would drive the other party away.
You know what, even though Alice is simple-minded, this method is actually feasible.
After all, Alice was their precious darling.
When Philip heard that his daughter wasn't eating, he started pressuring Roya. Roya had no choice but to resort to some special methods to sneak into the other party's house.
After a day of amicable negotiations, Alice, wearing the little pearl, was forced to sign an unequal treaty in a humiliating manner.
The treaty has only three clauses: first, Alice must unconditionally obey Roya (during her term of office); second, she must never skip class; and third, she cannot use this method to disobey Roya.
In fact, Luo Ya had not expected the other party to abide by the treaty, so the treaty was very harsh, mainly as a token gesture to give the other party a way out.
I don't know where this little girl got such a strong sense of pride and rebelliousness.
