??? POV
"Who's this Lightning Swordsmen in that book your reading," Yuno asks me
"The Lightning Swordsmen?" I ask her
"Yeah, him," she says
"The book says he was a major help in clearing SAO," I tell her
"Is that all? I mean, how do you get a nickname like that," She asks me curiously.
"They say he is the fastest player in SAO, even faster then your eye could track him," I tell her residing her curiosity
"Hmm, man it would be cool to meet him," Yuno says
"I'm sure he is a pushover like The black Swordsmen in real life, I'm probably even faster then he is," I brag
Yuno looks at me with even more curiosity, "why didn't you appear in the book? You were in SAO were you not?"
"Only those who fought are remembered," I say as I look at a name that's foreign to me...Jenn, I wonder how a little kid made it in this book.
(Y/N) POV
"Kazuto what do you want, you dragged me away from my precious video games," I say as he stands against a light pole.
"I think I have it figured out," He says
"What did you find out?" I ask
"The reason behind the disappearing memories," Kazuto goes on
"Yeah?" I ask him a little interested
"Listen, I think when you die in Ordinal scale, your memories go to a drone after the Augma scans your brain," He says
"Yeah......i totally understand that," I say unsure
"Listen, it doesn't make sense to me either, why would they want to do such a thing, it just doesn't make sense. Furthermore, it seems to only affect Past Players of SAO, and only their memories of the game are scanned, and as a result, they lose those memories after the scan is complete," Kazuto continues
"Ok, but why does this only affect when you die?" I ask him
"I did some digging, I guess when you see things of the past, your brain becomes more active in the area where those memories are stored...with the bosses from SAO, it reminds players of their time in SAO so that's when the Scan is done," Kazuto explains.
"Ok? What are we supposed to do about it?" I ask him
Kazuto looks down
"There's a big concert tomorrow, most of our friends are going," he says
"Yeah, I remember Kate talking about something like that, I told her to hold off on it though....she didn't listen. Told me she was going with the gang," I say laughing
"I've been told to meet Eiji in the parking lot," Kazuto says
"Yeah?" I ask him confused
"He said he can restore Asuna's memories," Kazuto says
"Can he, now?" I ask skeptically
"It's the only lead I have, but the downside is he....is surprisingly quick," Kazuto says as I start smirking
"And you want me to show him who's king when it comes to speed," I say smiling
