In Sword Art Online season 3 episode 7, titled "Swordcraft Academy," we see Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice arrive at the academy where young swordsmen are trained to become Integrity Knights. The academy is located in a beautiful and idyllic coastal part of the Underworld, where students are taught the basic skills required to become knights.
As they enter the academy, the trio is greeted by a young woman named Sortiliena Serult, who is a senior student and a skilled swordswoman. Sortiliena takes a liking to Kirito and offers to be his mentor during his stay at the academy.
In this episode, we see Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice adapting to life at the academy as they settle into their dormitory and attend their first classes. The students are segregated based on their weapon preference, and Kirito and Eugeo are enrolled in the Swordcraft Academy.
Kirito quickly realizes the intensity of training at the academy, as the teachers expect the students to maintain perfect form, practice relentlessly, and stay focused. Many of the students in Kirito's class are aiming to become Integrity Knights, and the competition is fierce.
As Kirito and Eugeo begin to learn more about swordcraft, they also develop their friendship with Sortiliena. She tells them about her dream of becoming an Integrity Knight and serving the highest authority in the Underworld, the Axiom Church. However, Kirito also senses that there is something more to Sortiliena's dream, as she seems to be hiding something.
While at the academy, Kirito and Eugeo are introduced to a new form of swordcraft called "Armament Full Control Art" (AFCA). AFCA allows the user to manipulate their weapon like an extension of their own body and move it at incredible speeds. The students have to master this technique to become skilled swordsmen.
We also see Alice attending classes at the academy, but she is enrolled in a different class focused on the use of sacred arts. She is surprised to find out that the students in her class do not use swords but rather manipulate magic as a way of fighting.
As Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice continue their training at the academy, they discover that not everything at the academy is as it seems. They uncover some secrets about the senior students and the teachers, and they sense that there is a darker side to the academy.
Overall, Sword Art Online season 3 episode 7 is a thrilling episode that focuses on the trio's adaptation to life at the academy. The episode introduces a new form of swordcraft and also sets the stage for more mysteries to be uncovered in future episodes. Swordcraft Academy is a must-watch episode for Sword Art Online fans who enjoy seeing the characters' growth and development in a new environment.
