Sword Art Online Material Edition 08

Rondo of a Fragile Blade (儚き剣のロンド) is the eighth Material Edition of Sword Art Online. The first chapter was released as a Material Edition, the rest as a side story later as part of the first Volume of the Progressive light novel series. The story focuses on Kirito and Asuna's adventure through the 2nd Floor of Aincrad.

First Chapter
Kirito disguised himself four days after the 2nd Floor of Aincrad was unlocked, since his fame as a beater had now spread, to collect items for training. He found a scene in which a player complained to a blacksmith because the latter had failed to upgrade his Anneal Blade four times, deeming the sword useless. While Kirito was watching the scene, he began thinking about the probabilities of such an event to occur.

While he pondered on this thought, Asuna arrived and started talking to him as she saw through his disguise. Kirito explained the scene to her and they discussed the enhancement system in SAO. The incident was solved when the player's friend arrived and calmed him down. Everyone apologized and the blacksmith, Nezha, bought the now useless sword for 8 thousand cor.

Kirito and Asuna sat on a bench and talked, Kirito was hesitant about upgrading his sword. She told him that she also wanted to upgrade her rapier, thus Kirito accepted her challenge to collecting the materials needed to enhance her weapon.
