Y/N pov

A meeting was held to discuss about the strategy to handle the Field Boss "Geocrawler". It seems that the Field Boss gives the assault team a hard time to the point that many guilds were involved. I also heard that the girls are there as well and Asuna is leading this operation. I thought I'd give a helping hand to get to floor 57. I walk up to the meeting area and noticed it being guarded by some members of the Divine Dragons Alliance. The guards also noticed me and have their weapons drawn since I didn't hide my cursor, not that I care. I stop a few meters away from them

Guard 1: What do you want, player killer

You: To join the meeting

Guard 2: You think we'll believe that!

You: I promise you, I'm here only for the meeting

They look at each other before looking at me and lowered their weapons

Guard 1: You seem like a trustable guy. In fact, I plan not to die to the Black Swordsman

The other one nodded

Guard 2: And you're not even lying about that. We'll let you through

The step aside giving me room and I walk inside but not before nodding them thanks. I arrived at the meeting place and leaned against a wall while listening to Asuna. Everyone was murmuring with one another until Asuna slammed her hand on the table that is in the room silencing them all

Asuna: We'll lure the Field Boss into the village

This causes everyone to be shocked at the plan including me. Kirito moves forward

Kirito: W-Wait a second. If we do something like that, the villagers...

Asuna: That's the goal. While the boss is killing NPCs, we're going to attack it, and then destroy it

Koharu: NPCs aren't just 3-D objects like trees or rocks. They're...

Asuna: Alive? Is that it?

This made everyone look in disbelief especially the girls, they did not expect this response from her. I exhaled

Asuna: They're only objects. Even if they're killed, they'll just respawn

Kirito shook her head

Kirito: I can't go along with that kind of plan

Asuna look at her

Asuna: It's been decided that this operation will be run by myself, Asuna, vice commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath. You will obey my orders

I've had enough of this

You: So we're abusing our power position now, huh?

Everyone turns to me and noticed my cursor causing them to bring out their weapons

Asuna: Who are you?!

I look up towards them and surely enough they all lowered their weapons a bit. Asuna's eyes widen when she saw me. I push myself off the wall and walk up to the table. Any players that are blocking my way are giving room

You: Y/N, The Black Swordsman. Now from what I heard from you, is that the plan involves luring the Field Boss to the village. I'm not a fan of killing these NPCs because they are living beings as well even though they are not real. I can't let you go through with this plan

Asuna glared at me

Asuna: Do you honestly think that you can just change the plan? I'm the one in charge
