Well that adds a part to Kayaba's character that I never knew about. I already knew that Kayaba pulled out certain players he saw had potential and helped them train in the KoB, but this makes it seem like almost from the beginning, Kayaba singled out Asuna and Kirito to be his vice commander and eventual challenger respectively. Seems kinda unfair to me, but then again, that's the struggle all main characters go through :D
