Sword Art Online
Kirito decides to hide until the celebration on the second floor died down. Because if he were to show himself to the public, he would be in serious trouble since the information of him being a Beater had spread amongst the players. While in hiding, he notices «Argo the Rat» running from two people towards the outskirts of town. He immediately chases after them until they come to halt. The two men were from a Beta test ninja guild, Fumaningun. They were after Argo for information on a certain Extra Skill that could be acquired on the second floor. Kirito leaps down from the side of the cliff and confronts the two players. They are then chased away by a Trembling Cow monster. Kirito, using Argo's promise for a free piece of information of his choosing, asks Argo as to why she has whiskers on her face, but instead of telling him that, she shows him the location of the NPC for the «Martial Arts» Extra Skill quest. After accepting the quest, Kirito's new sensei paints whiskers on his face. Apparently, he would not be able to remove the paint until he had broken a demonic rock into two with his bare hands. Argo during the Beta test had given up on this quest and thus she had permanent cat-like whiskers on her face. After the Beta test, she kept the whiskers with make-up because it had become a part of her own image. At the beginning Kirito also wanted to leave, but when he asked Argo how he looked like and she started laughing, he decide that he won't leave until he completed the quest. After 3 days and 3 nights, Kirito finally managed to break the rock, acquiring the Martial Arts skill.
