"N-No, you got it all wrong! She's pretty strong, she did knocked me out in that last attack! Kick hit me right in the head, I even blacked out. I was lucky to earn a draw."<br/><br/>He smiled at the nervous girl, and shook his head. "I know. Your both strong is all I was trying to say. I didn't think She'd get a wind jutsu off with the timing to smash me into a tree like she did. It didn't do a lot of damage, but it knocked the wind from my lungs, so I couldn't act further."<br/><br/>Listening to her detailed explanations, he nodded, and at first looked highly confused. "<strong>Then, you shouldn't have been able to fight like you did...unless.....That's...concerning....</strong>" However, as he thought about it for several minutes, he caught an idea. "<strong>Ah...I think I know what's going on, and why you are able to fight like you are, even without IRL experience. However, we should wait until Akane is back on her feet, as this could effect her as well.</strong><br/><br/>Once Akane was back up, he smiled at how down she looked, and said, "<strong>No hard feelings at all. After all, you kicked my ass pretty thoroughly. We were talking about the fight, and agree it should be a draw. You had a huge handicap of 2 opponents, so you did really well. Ayaka and I were discussing about her fighting style, and she says she's not actually trained in martial arts before, though she is a gymnast. I think I know why she's able to fight like she is, but I want you to hear this as well, since it could help. Basically, the AI works WITH players, to allow them to experience things they've never felt before. However, those with IRL martial experience are naturally going to have an advantage in the game, as their neural patterns already have the "Pattern" of combat. As a Gymnast, you have excellent control over your body IRL, meaning you'd have that same control here. Since you also watched kung fu movies, the memories OF those martial movements are also in your brain, which the AI is able to utilize to allow you to fight using skills you've seen, even if you've never trained in them before. The reason YOU specifically can is because of your training as a Gymnast. I've watched a ton of old Kung Fu  movies too, but because I don't have the same physical training you did, I can't utilize those skills. Neither can the AI assisting me.</strong><br/><br/>He hesitated, and then added with a slight blush.<strong>Its the same reason why guys in here are going to have a....well, dick the same size as in real life. The memory of the thing is there, so it exists here. Girls are a bit different, with a slider for chest size, though setting it too much larger then you are IRL can cause some...well, glitches. Not bad ones, just weird connections with the brain. Same with.....well...Depth, if you catch my drift. You can take what you can take IRL. Otherwise, it'll start hurting because of your IRL training. Your brain knows what's real, and that translates over to the game world. Basically.</strong><br/><br/>He hesitated, before saying, clearly diverting away from the topic of naughty things, "<strong>Akane, you really did fight well. I'm able to move in this world because of years of working on the Development Team. There's about 5 people on the Dev Team who could have done what you did, and not one of them on their first day. Specifically, you were able to track my movement, aim and fire at the right time to catch ME in mid-air. That kind of snap fire the AI is usually pretty bad at calculating. You did great, both of you, and you can only get stronger from here out. </strong><br/><br/>However, as he was talking, a bright red message floated in front of each player, including the three of them.<strong>DANGER! DANGER! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG OUT OF THE GAME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. WILL NOTIFY WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. ERROR CODE ZULU 542. AGAIN ERROR CODE ZULU 542.</strong><br/><br/>Hakuro's eyes widened at that, and he glanced at the other two, his voice and manner completely different. Now he was giving orders, and expected to be obeyed. "<strong>Do not attempt to log out of the game. Stay where you are, do not open your inventory. Zulu 542 means there's a glitch happening that could harm players if they try to log out during the error code. We have to stay in until it....</strong>" His voice trailed off, as for each player, the visual world broke into Fractals, spinning into infinity. The world returned in moments, but something was Very wrong. Up until now (as explained in first post), the sensations had been "blocked" from the players. If you punched a tree, it didn't actually FEEL like you punched a tree full force. If you touched grass, it would feel like grass, though....duller, like you were doing it through very thin gloves. However, now everything was coming in bright and clear. The filter barrier was completely gone.<br/><br/>He froze, for the first time panic in his eyes. "<strong>The sensory barrier's gone. There's nothing protecting....</strong>"<br/><br/>Again the world spun into Fractals, and for every player, the world went black Instantly and completely. When they came too, they would be slumped over wherever they had been struck down, with the VR World as real as reality itself was. Hakuro stirred, and looking around made his way on wobbly legs to Akane and Ayaka, checking to make sure they were breathing. "<strong>Something bad happened....Fuck.</strong>" He cursed, hoping it was just a glitch that had effected them, not the entire group. However, something in his gut warned him that whatever had happened, it was Bad. Very bad.
