– The Two Supervisors 8 Chapter The Two Supervisors 5th Month of Human World Calendar 380 Part 1 I, Kirigaya Kazuto, had logged out from the VRMMO-RPG, «Sword Art Online», on the th of November, 2024. It was mid-December when I returned to my home in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, following my rehabilitation period. I had turned sixteen a couple of months ago, but since I had been challenging the fiftieth floor of Aincrad while my previous peers in the same grade were challenging the high school entrance examinations, there was obviously no school that I could attend. Fortunately—though I hesitate to call it such, I received a certificate of graduation from the middle school I've only half finished, so the normal route would be to spend my time at a preparation school until I can take the examinations next year, postponed by a year. However, here, the country proposed an unimaginable relief measure. Among the roughly six thousand players who returned alive from imprisonment in SAO, the middle-and-high schoolers numbered over five hundred. It was decided that a school for them all would be established in Nishitokyo, Tokyo, from the April of 2025 with no need for entrance examinations or school fees, and the graduates would be granted qualifications to take entrance examinations for universities. The building used was that of a metropolitan high school, abandoned the previous year and awaiting its demolition. Re- employed teachers who had retired from old age, serving part- time, largely made up the teaching staff. It was classified as a National Vocational School under the School Education Law.
