THE WORLD SEED

Kirito arrived at the hospital only to find Sugou waiting for him in the parking lot armed with a knife. The maniac wants to kill the boy right then and there, but Kirito gets the upper hand. Realizing he is not in the virtual world, Kirito is able to restrain himself enough not to kill the man. Sugou is later arrested.

Inside the hospital, Kirito and Asuna have a tearful re-union.

Several months have passed, and players are attending a specialized school. Asuna is still visiting rehab, but no longer needs her crutches.

Later, Agil arranged for an off-line meeting at his shop, the Dicey Cafe. When Kirito arrives, all the attendees cheered for the man(boy) that set them free. The meeting turned into more of a party. After things settled down, Kirito, Agil, Klein, and Thinker discuss the progress of the World Seed entrusted to Kirito by Kyaba Akihiko's conscious modeling program. It was doing amazing!

That evening, at 11 o'clock, everyone was meeting at Yggdrasil City.
Once online, and with the floating castle appearing before them, Kirito informs Lyfa...with determination in his voice,
"This time, we will perfectly clear each floor, from floor one to floor one hundred, and conquer that castle!!"
The game is on!
