My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

"What do you mean? I was the first one here." Satoshi casually said, much to Midori's surprise.

"Really?!" Hiroshi couldn't believe it. 'But how?! He was the last one to leave the start line. Furthermore, there are other participants who should be much faster than him. Some of them even had superspeed. How could he..."

Satoshi smiled, satisfied that his comment left both Hiroshi and Midori confused. It was simple really. Since the panel might overrule that he was the first one to arrive. He decided to unequip his familiar the Invisibility Cloak and fly right above everyone's heads. And while all that was happening, he summoned Ghast, his portal-maker familiar, and have it create portals in front of everyone who'd venture too far into the track. Of course, Satoshi specifically instructed Ghast to teleport them a little bit behind the others but not too far. Because if that were to happen, then they might complain to the SAO and might even put Satoshi in a bad light if they found out he was behind the teleportation.

Because the teleportation was only a short distance away, other participants thought that someone in the group was messing with them when in fact, it was Satoshi who was doing so and he was already hundreds of meters away from the group. Infighting occurred and it became rather troublesome, even for Midori and Hiroshi who were caught in the middle of it. But then again, that bought enough time for them to catch up and even place in the top fifty percent of finishers.

As for Satoshi though, he was already enjoying the free refreshments and food long before everyone even got to the finish line. He finished in record time as well. While not as fast as other records, he was the first one to finish on this year's batch, which is already a good enough feat.

"What's the name of the kid? Midoriyama Satoshi, you say." Fury asked one of the SAO employees before he looked at the data they've gathered on Satoshi.

[Name: Midoriyama Satoshi

Age: Sixteen years old

Superpower: Unkown (speculation: beast tamer)

Recorded familiars: (A retro computer, white lion, blue flames, a huge fan, water, unknown 1, unknown 2, a summoner, and an ice warrior)

Potential danger level: Triple S, just like his parents, Midoriyama Ayumu and Midoriyama Tatsuki, currently holding the top two spots in SAO Rankings.]

"Hoh, interesting," Fury muttered, a smile forming on his face. "It's not every day you get to see someone with a Triple S potential danger level. That's quite surprising... and his superpower is unknown? Hmmm."

'This kid, he's much smarter than I thought... or maybe it's because his parents were none other than the top two... that's probably the case.' Fury said to himself.

From afar, he watched as Satoshi talked to his classmates just like any other regular high schooler out there. Whilst doing so, he continued watching a couple of clips compiled on  Satoshi's fights, and just as he thought, he couldn't tell just what kind of superpower he has. Well, not like it would be easy for him. After all, even the SAO had no clue about it.

"Interesting." Fury uttered to himself, "Let's see how well he does in the second round."

There was also one thing that Satoshi didn't mention to the two. Before he actually crossed the finish line, he used his Droplet familiar, gathering water nearby and putting it right in front of the finish line— a great wall of water that stopped everyone from finishing. Not like he did that to mess with everyone, but he did so in order to buy time for his friends. In the end, it all worked out pretty well since they were able to qualify without much difficulty.

But then again, it's not like they needed any help. Even if there were only the two of them in the first round, Satoshi was confident that they'd be able to qualify. As such he decided not to tell them anything.

"I wonder what the next round's going to be," Satoshi asked, "Geh~ what are you doing Midori?"

"Miya's going to like these! Since no one wanted to eat them, I'll be taking these home," Midori said, licking his lips. While doing so, he continued stuffing himself even though round two is about to start.

"You shouldn't eat too much before a competition, you know." A voice spoke from behind them, causing the three of them to turn around.

It was none other than.

"Fury-san!" Satoshi enthusiastically called out before extending his hands, to which Fury responded by extending his hand as well and they shook hands.

"It's nice to finally meet the one and only son of the Midoriyama Duo." Fury uttered. "And these are... I remember the two of you, from the Inter-High Tournament, right? Let's see... Midori and Hiroshi, I think?"

Midori and Hiroshi nodded.

"Well, try not to overeat before the second round. I'll tell you this now but the second round will be much harder than the first... but then again the three of you easily cleared the first round so I don't know just how difficult the second round would be for the three of you... hmm... well... hmm... "

While Satoshi had known Fury for a long time since he sometimes visits his parents, Midori and Hiroshi didn't, that's why they were a little surprised that the charismatic high-ranking member of the SAO is actually pretty friendly.

Fury crossed his arms, tapping his fingers on them as he started thinking about something. "Should I tell you... or should I not tell you... hmmm..." Just then, a mischievous smile spread across his face as he stared at the three of them.

Whatever it is that he was going to tell them, he had decided that he will do so— or so that's what Satoshi assumed since his face clearly expressed the notion.

"Let me just say this... I advise that the three of you try to get the top rank on the second round as much as you can... then again, even if I didn't tell you, you'd still do it, right?" Fury said before turning around and waving his hand, wishing the three of them the best of luck in the upcoming second round of the Superhero License Exam.
