It had been few days since Kirito had graduated from Izumitate Junior High. After the graduation, the boys had planned to go fishing. They all headed to Matsushima area which was a great place for beginners to try fishing.
They spent hours trying their luck to catch some fish, but didn't catch a single one.
Sato and Haruto were already on the verge of crashout.
"We came here with hope, but now, we are returning with despair!" Haruto said.
"True, we came here to refresh our minds from that defeat, instead, more salt is being added into the wound!" Sato exclaimed.
Kirito seeing them being on the verge of crashout, ran towards them and pushed them into the bay. He also jumped on the bay with them and called others to join in.
"Hahaha, that's what you get for almost crashing out, idiots." Kirito said with laughter.
Then, they splashed waters to each other and created a havoc in the bay until some authorized people arrived telling them to leave. All the boys left immediately. They left the area and went to do some sight-seeing and called it a day.
Kirito returned to his apartment and took a shower. As he finished showering, he got a call from his parents.
"Yo, ball boy! What are you up to?" Kirito's father asked jokingly.
"Nothing much, Dad. Just hit the shower." Kirito replied.
"Did you cleanup properly?" Kirito's mother asked.
"Yes, Mom." Kirito replied.
"So, are you to coming visit us or going to wait until high school?" Kirito's father asked.
"I will visit during high school, maybe." Kirito replied.
"Won't you guys come here?" Kirito asked.
"Well, we'll be there by tomorrow." Kirito's father replied.
"Tomorrow? Wow, that's quite a surprise." Kirito said.
"You guys didn't tell me anything about it." Kirito added.
"Hehe, we wanted to surprise you, sweetheart." Kirito's mom said lovingly.
"Haha, we'll I guess, I gotta cleanup the rooms." Kirito said.
"Yes, sweetheart. I'll be inspecting them thoroughly, hehe." Kirito's mom replied.
Then, they spent few minutes talking about each other's well-being and other stuffs.
"Alright, mom and dad, time to clock out." Kirito said.
"Yeah, take care of yourself, study properly and eat healthy foods." Kirito's parent said.
"Yeah, sure." Kirito said.
"Bye." "Bye."
Kirito ended the call and went to make some dinner. After dinner, he was wondering when will he unlock those skills, because now, he is entering to high school. Now, he will have to fight with pure monsters and geniuses. Playing like the way he played in middle school won't cut it out.
He needs a defining factor. He has to create his own playstyle. He has to standout among those monster and geniuses. Just being labelled monster or genius won't help him.
If he wants to step into the world of professional, he has to standout and become the absolute monster, the absolute ace.
*sigh* Kirito sighed.
"C'mon, system buddy, give me those skills, man." Kirito thought.
With that thought, he went to sleep.
The next day, Kirito spent the whole day cleaning up rooms. At evening, his parents arrived. Kirito went to open the doors for them.
At the door, stood a tall man reaching an impressive height of 195 cm(6 ft 5 in) with dark brown hair and a beautiful woman with deep green eyes. They both formed a lovely couple. They were Kirito's dad and mom.
"Took your time, huh." Kirito said jokingly.
At that, Kirito went to hug his parents.
"Wow, you've grown so much, baby." Kirito's mom said.
"Not as much as dad." Kirito replied.
"You're light years away to reach at my height." Kirito's dad said smugly.
"Just you wait, dad. I'm gonna overtake you very soon, hehe." Kirito replied.
"Alright, come in." Kirito said carrying all the luggage.
Then, they spent the whole night talking about Kirito's well-being, his studies and finally his dream and future.
"So, did you decide which high school are you going to enroll?" Kirito's mom asked.
"Yes, I have decided to enroll in Aoba Johsai High." Kirito said.
"Oh, that's quite a good high school you've chosen." his mom replied.
"Any particular reason to choose them?" Kirito's father asked.
"Yes, they have good educational infrastructure." Kirito said.
"But looking at you, I don't think that's the only reason." his dad said.
"Hehe, it's because of volleyball club there!" Kirito replied excitedly.
"There is a monstrous and genius setter there, and I want to partner up with him!" he added.
"Alright, alright just don't regret over there." Kirito's father said.
"And what about your future?" Kirito's father asked.
"I want to become a professional volleyball player." Kirito replied firmly.
Kirito's mom and dad looked at him for a second and broke into smiles.
"It's good that you are very resolute in you decision." They both said to Kirito.
"No matter what, we've got your back, son." Kirito's mother said.
"So, go ahead and destroy every opponents you face." Kirito's father said.
"I want to see you in the big TVs and online platforms, alright?" Kirito's father said.
"No matter what, we are already proud of you, son." Kirito's mom said.
"Maybe I should come up with some embarrassing chants to make you fluster and cringe, hahaha" Kirito's father joked.
"Alright, I'll make some dinner." Kirito's mom said.
They had dinner, and everybody went to sleep to get a good night rest.
