"(Why Kirito's always alone? I... just wanna help him out so... he won't be alone anymore... He always go solo - I don't... want him go risking his own life... I wish I was fast enough to decide to let him join our group sooner..." Deku looks a bit sad as he sees Kirito was all alone... he tried to reach out but he'll only Ignore him

[ End of Flashback ]

~Kirito:
"Huh?!" Kirito was surprised as he sees a flashback
~Deku:
"-?! ...!" Deku was also surprised as he sees a flashback but he pushes Kirito back
CLASHING - THUD!!!

[ The swords clashing against each other and then suddenly a flashback of Deku's memories - Both are very surprised at the moment but Deku ignores it and sends Kirito flying a bit further away - ]

Kirito:
"Woah!" Kirito regained his ground and leaps back to Asuna and Yuuki. "What just... happened?!"

Asuna:
"You're okay, Kirito?" Asuna said to Kirito as he was so surprised. "What happened? You and Deku were both surprised at something."

~Deku:
"(What just happened? As soon as I tried to counter his "Vorpal Strike" with my own - Wait?! -") Deku remembers what Deku Black said beforehand
~Deku Black:
("Oh... and let me tell you all this. When there are powerful swordsman and swordswoman at there in this world, they can read each other's thoughts/minds and feelings simply just by clashing swords with each other... without ever uttering a single word.")
~Deku:
("Could it be what Black said before - That means... the clash just now. It means... Kirito and I have gotten stronger... and he - No, we was able to read my mind... and my feelings of back in SAO. The more we fight... the more we can read each others thoughts and feelings...") Deku was silent for a second.
