Sora, a man intrigued by blacksmithing techniques which used the hammer and the refining version.

Although he preferred the refining version of making weapons, making one with a hammer is a much better way when training the body and aiming to make a weapon better.

There are pros and cons to refining a weapon and hammering a weapon. Although not as many as one would expect.

He focused onto Shigure's hands filled with blisters. His fingers went over the blisters as he heard the sound of a hammer falling down onto a hot metal to make it into whichever shape one desires.

Clang!

The imaginary sound of the hammer falling reached his ears loudly as he gave a small smile and looked up at Shigure.

"You must have a forge right?" asked Sora as he looked around Ryozanpaku.

"Hm." Shigure nodded and pointed over to the detached building behind the main building where the masters sleep. "There."

Sora looked at the detached building and gave a wide smile. He scratched his cheek and turned to Shigure before asking, "Can I use the forge?"

Shigure looked at Sora with a blank look before giving a nod. She walked forward and tried pulling Sora over to the detached building before meeting resistance.

"Ah, I didn't mean now. I will come here tomorrow and use the forge then. I have some stuff to deal with today," said Sora as he turned to look at Kayaba.

Looking back at Sora, Shigure kept quiet. She cutely blinked at Sora with a blank face as she turned to look at Kayaba as well.

"Y-yes. You have some stuff to do still before I can let you off the hook. You will be able to return tomorrow since there isn't much that you need to do today." said Kayaba as he nervously scratched his cheek.

Although Kayaba is usually composed and calm, he couldn't do any of that in front of all the masters.

"I will be sure to come by tomorrow once all matters are settled. Then you can guide me to the forge," said Sora as he smiled brightly.

He walked away as he waved to all the masters and Miu, telling them goodbye.

Sora, Kayaba, and Rinko got in the car. As they were leaving, Sora noticed Shigure sitting on top of the gate of Ryozanpaku.

She watched them leave until they were no longer in sight.

"Since I have received the papers, I will have to turn them in tomorrow. We will have to wait until we hear something from the higher ups. Until then, you will be free to do whatever you want," said Rinko as she looked over the papers that he had signed.

Sora nodded and said, "Then, can any of you buy me a phone? I will be gone most of the time and we will have no way to contact each other."

"I'll get you a phone tomorrow. For today, I need you to fill in the information that you skipped over," said Rinko as she looked at various empty spots on the papers Sora had signed.

What Sora had just signed, were just spots that required his name and his birthday, he didn't sign anything other than that. Meaning that areas like identification and legal stuff were all empty.

Since Sora had just randomly appeared in a modern world, he now needed an ID and all the stuff.

Sora sighed and rubbed his forehead, he had forgotten such things like IDs and having papers. He had spent so much time in worlds that didn't require something like that, so he didn't think much of it.

"Judging from your expression, I'm guessing you don't have any papers or documentation," said Kayaba. He grabbed the papers Rinko was talking about and frowned before turning to Sora. "I will deal with this. I will get this all sorted out by tonight."

Looking at Kayaba with gratitude, Sora said, "So what's for food?"

…

After eating, Sora sneaked onto the roof whilst Rinko and Kayaba were talking. He sat down and looked over into the horizon as the sun was setting.

His eyes followed the birds flying above in the sky until he caught the sight of a helicopter in the distance. A man jumped out of the helicopter with a demon-like smile.

Seeing the man, Sora felt that he looked familiar.

The man jumped off the helicopter and disappeared behind numerous buildings.

Sora smiled and thought, "So there's people that are that strong in this world, huh."

Standing up, Sora headed back into his room and got to training in his Nirvanic Taichi Art more vigorously than before. Losing himself in the feeling of pure bliss as he felt his whole body being tempered to the maximum.

The feeling of feeling one's own strength increases in person. The amazing and intoxicating feeling that makes one wish to become stronger.

After just an hour of training, Sora was dripping in sweat once more. He stopped and entered his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to wash up.

Feeling the cool and nice atmosphere of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Sora grabbed some water from the small sea inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

Since Sora had added the ability of growth from the Chaos Bead onto his Heavenly Universe and Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, the realm had experienced some explosive growth.

There was more water and space than the marine anime could do about. Even the Phoenix couldn't travel across the whole space of the realm.

'I think it's about time I start getting some animals in here and start breeding them for highly spiritual food,' thought Sora as he looked at the huge dirt land of his realm which could rival the entire size of the continent of Asia.

The sea, which used to be just a small pond, was one third size of the continent of Asia, becoming a small sea in Sora's eyes.

After washing up, Sora walked over to the forge in his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal before sighing. He walked over to the hammer he got from the Greek gods of DxD, where the anvil and forge also came from.

Putting both his hands on the hammer, Sora tried lifting the godly hammer with all his strength, not managing to even lift it one inch above the ground. Letting go of the hammer, Sora wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed, "It's no use. I need to raise my strength some more."

Sora left his realm and went back into his realm before heading over to Kayaba who was alone since Rinko had left already.

"Sora..." said Kayaba as he looked at the papers in his hands. "Are you… an orphan?"

Kayaba's question was rather unexpected, making Sora stop in his steps and look at Kayaba with a weird look. He was about to retort until he remembered he had no last name.

'Most people will view me as having no family and call me an orphan. If I don't do something about this, many will be annoying me with the same question over and over. I should get Kayaba to help me with this,' said Sora as he rubbed his forehead.

"Yes..." reluctantly said Sora, asking for forgiveness to his mothers in his heart.

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Kayaba as he looked at Sora for a short moment.

Sora sat down in front of Kayaba and asked, "Can you help me with that problem?"

"You… want me to adopt you?" Kayaba asked incredulously.

"No!" refused Sora instantly, not giving it a single second of thought.

"Ah, then how do you want me to help?" Kayaba felt rather hurt by the way Sora refused, it was like if he showed something funny to Sora and he just said, 'That's not even funny, why'd you show me this.'

Sora thought about it for a moment before giving a smirk, "How about you get me a surname when you get me my ID?"

"Hmm… I'm no good with names..." said Kayaba with a frown. 'All the names in Sword Art Online are pitched in by the workers. The only name I contributed was the name of the game, Sword Art Online.'

Shaking his head, Sora said, "You don't have to worry about that. I can deal with that myself."

"How?" asked Kayaba.

"You don't need to know that," said Sora with some secrecy in his voice.

Feeling rather curious at how Sora worded it, Kayaba was about to ask some more but was too late as Sora had left him all alone already.

Walking outside of Kayaba's house, Sora grabbed some dirt and walked over to a clean place on the cement.

Divination.

Something Sora was well-versed in thanks to the scriptures and many cultivation techniques he received related to them. He could find out someone's luck, karma, future, past…

Although he doesn't usually like using this since he always ends up feeling bored since he knows what is to come.

Using the dirt, Sora tossed it into the ground and then just looked at the shape the dirt had left on the ground. Once Sora saw the shape, he smiled involuntarily before sweeping the dirt back to where it came from.

'These types of things keep following me,' said Sora as he kept his smile on his face from helplessness.

Walking into the house and up to Kayaba, Sora sighed and said, "My last name… My last name will be Kamiyama."

"Kami… -yama?" asked Kayaba with a weird look on his face.

"Yes. That will be my last name," said Sora without a single shred of regret or hesitation.

"..."

An awkward silence covered the room as Kayaba just sighed and decided to just make Sora's last name Kamiyama. He couldn't help but think that Sora's last name was so overbearing, but he couldn't do anything about it since Sora had chosen it himself.

"Oh, yeah. The President of Argus decided to accept you earlier. Although the papers aren't in yet, you have already become a worker for Argus. Your first fight is after tomorrow on Wednesday," said Kayaba as he scratched his head.

"Good to know, I will be sure to come back here. Or you can also call me since I will be receiving a phone tomorrow," said Sora.

Kayaba nodded and mentioned something else, "Also, you will enter Argus as a trainee. To everyone else, you will be a worker, but on paper you will be a trainee. Since you are still young, we can't count you as a worker. In fact, the president of Argus has recommended that we put you into a school."

"A… school?" asked Sora with a weird look on his face.

"Yes, a school." Kayaba nodded before pulling out some papers and looking at Sora in the eyes, "You will be choosing from one of these schools to attend. Depending on the school you choose, that's where we will be getting you a house."

"Hmm… I don't think it matters much what school I will enter. I will hold onto this for now," said Sora as he grabbed the papers and looked at the high school names on the paper.

"You will need to tell me which high school you wish to enter before saturday so that you may enter your new high school on monday." Kayaba said sternly as he stared at Sora for a moment. "Try to maintain good grades in school, or else the government will try to remove you from Argus."

Sora kept quiet and only nodded. His eyes going over every name on the paper with little interest.

He just grabbed a pen on Kayaba's desk before circling a random name on the paper before tossing both paper and pen back to Kayaba.

"There, I chose a high school. I will be going to sleep now for my date tomorrow," said Sora with a small yawn before heading back into his room and falling asleep rather quickly.

Kayaba sighed at Sora's nonchalant actions, he grabbed the papers and looked at the name of the high school Sora had circled. He placed the paper to the side before putting the name of the school into his computer and entering the necessary information.

'Hmm… I'm getting some bad vibes from this school...' Kayaba looked at the name of the high school once more before shaking his head with a small smile. 'It's okay, it's Sora we're talking about. He will be fine in this school.'

Looking back at the paper, Kayaba read once more the name of the high school Sora will begin attending in the upcoming monday.

"Ishiyama High School."
