[Malzeno's POV]

"Hey, Professor Blackie, Princess," Great, new guy's stealing my clever nicknames. He was a Salamander, red armour, red hair, the usual. Look really smug about it too. "Mowing down this horde with just the two of you is impossible, don't you think?"

"I don't know about that, I've never tried, so I have no idea!" Kirito shrugged honestly. 

"We'd ask you to stand down and let them pass but seeing as there's no point wasting our breath, we'll be more than happy to remove you by force," Asuna quipped with a venomous tongue.

"Course not, okay then, suck it up!" The leader barked, clicking his fingers. "Mage Team, let them have it!"

"Hah

"Hah... GGO's awesome," I remarked with a slight laugh.

"No way..." Even Yuuki wasn't sure how that was possible. 

"Did he slice their spells?" Talken gaped.

"It wasn't a fluke?" Tecchi was equally in awe.

Kirito flicked his wrist, humming curiously, "Any high-speed spell is slower than a bullet from an anti-material rifle, you know?"
