Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 653 - 651: The Young Lady Slaps the Class President in Anger
The clear sound of the school bell rang, marking the end of the four morning classes. As the class president, Arakawa Reina stood up after each class to see the teacher off.
She gathered her textbooks from the desk and placed them back in her bag.
Arakawa Reina exchanged a brief greeting with her acquaintances and then pretended to go to the restroom to avoid the gaze of the students.
When there were fewer people around, she planned to head to the vending machine outside the cafeteria to buy bread and a can of orange juice for lunch today.
It's not that Arakawa Reina boasted, but she had more than a year's experience with these things and knew very well where to hide during lunch to avoid being noticed.
If she went to the vending machine outside the cafeteria as soon as lunchtime started, buying anything would make her stand out.
The majority of students either went to the cafeteria to eat or bought things from the convenience store.
In their eyes, a student buying something from the vending machine during lunch would seem strange.
Because few students would do such a thing.
Arakawa Reina didn't want to do it either.
Following her usual habit, she hid in the girls' restroom, watching the time pass. At 12:56, she opened the stall door in front of her.
By that time, there shouldn't be many people in the corridor.
Arakawa Reina's step out paused as she dumbfoundedly stared at the blonde girl blocking the door.
She was truly beautiful, like a doll existent in a manga, with a delicate face and that brilliant golden hair that made Arakawa Reina suspect it was woven from gold.
"Sorry."
Arakawa Reina shrugged her shoulders, trying to squeeze through the small gap between Phoenix Academy Maggie's shoulder and the door, not considering the fat on her chest at all.
Phoenix Academy Maggie stepped aside, unsure of how to start the conversation.
She could only pretend to use the restroom, quickly pressing the flush button, stepping out of the stall, heading to the sink.
Phoenix Academy Maggie intended to strike up a conversation while washing her hands.
Arakawa Reina quickly turned off the tap, wiped her hands on her uniform blouse, and hurriedly walked outside, like an adult hound arriving in an unfamiliar environment, full of vigilance toward her surroundings.
Phoenix Academy Maggie seeing this, could only wash her hands haphazardly, hastening her steps to catch up.
She was trying to figure out how to start speaking.
Hearing the approaching footsteps behind her, the heart of the walking Arakawa Reina suddenly felt flustered.
What was going on?
Could it be that she was angry because she had been in the stall too long, causing Phoenix Academy classmate to have had to wait?
Oh no!
Given the popularity of Phoenix Academy, Arakawa Reina could imagine what was about to happen to her.
If she even slightly expressed discontent towards her.
Initially, it would seem like simple cold violence, but once her class standing plummeted to the bottom, bullying would spread throughout the classroom.
Her desk would be painted with strange patterns with unknown paints, her chair smeared with glue, and her drawer containing bizarre creatures like snakes and mice.
The more Arakawa Reina thought about it, the more pressure she felt, her forehead beginning to sweat.
She came to a stop in front of the vending machine, looking at the reflection of the girl in the glass.
Gulp.
Arakawa Reina swallowed, and the pressure made her turn around directly, assuming a prostrated position, "I'm really deeply sorry, Phoenix Academy classmate, I shouldn't have stayed in the stall so long, please forgive me!"
Phoenix Academy Maggie was a bit dumbfounded by her sudden action, still not responding when another student walked in.
Originally looking satisfied, seeing the corridor scene, they silently retreated back to the cafeteria.
"Wait, don't do things that could easily cause misunderstandings."
Phoenix Academy Maggie quickly helped Arakawa Reina up, saying, "I'm not mad at you."
She emphasized that.
Arakawa Reina shivered, pushing her black-framed glasses, her big eyes full of panic, "Are you really not angry with me?"
"Of course not."
Phoenix Academy Maggie assured, withdrawing her hand, "This isn't the place to talk, come with me."
Worried about attracting other people's attention here, she wanted to go somewhere quiet to clarify things.
The tension in Arakawa Reina's chest made her involuntarily imagine a terrifying scene where this young lady might attack her in a secluded spot, making her tremble. But she didn't dare defy this person.
"Hi."
She replied softly, thinking that maybe she was overthinking it, Phoenix Academy classmate didn't seem like that type of person.
But in manga, characters with such luminous qualities often were really bad.
Arakawa Reina felt a conflict within herself again.
...
Outside the school building, Phoenix Academy Maggie led Arakawa Reina to a secluded grove.
The autumn sunshine was blocked by the leaves, a lush green lawn stomped underfoot.
Arakawa Reina felt a little relieved, there weren't seven or eight big men waiting there, just her and Phoenix Academy Maggie, meaning there was genuinely something to talk about. But what was it?
She couldn't figure out what interaction she had with Phoenix Academy Maggie, thinking for a moment.
Arakawa Reina just stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to place her hands in front of her, by her sides, or behind her.
Phoenix Academy Maggie looked at her expression and could only soften her tone, speaking with a calm demeanor, "Class president, let's add each other on LINE."
"Huh?!"
Arakawa Reina envisioned many possibilities in her mind, but never considered this one, as if a TV superstar suddenly reached out and said, let's be friends.
How could such a dreamy thing happen to her?
For a moment, Arakawa Reina was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Phoenix Academy Maggie explained, "You're not good at dealing with men, right? Let's add each other as friends so you don't have to trouble Aozawa in the future.
To urge Tetsuji's assignments, I can directly ask him for you."
Though it seemed considerate, what was the real reason?
Arakawa Reina knew it well.
This lady clearly didn't want her to have too much of a relationship with Aozawa.
Was she jealous?
Arakawa Reina pondered this question. At this moment, she only needed to compromise, add her as a friend, and move past this, but could she really just move past it?
She fell into deep thought.
Among the entanglements between Phoenix Academy Maggie, Aozawa, Ayatsuki Ayaka, and Morimoto Chiyoda, Arakawa Reina was one of the few who understood the inside story.
She could understand Aozawa's idea of wanting to involve the young lady.
But Aozawa hadn't found an opportunity yet.
Perhaps the nurturing method wasn't effective, and stimulation therapy would work.
Thinking of this, Arakawa Reina changed her mind, mustered up the courage, and said, "Phoenix Academy classmate, are you thinking for me, or do you not want me to have any contact with Mr. Aozawa?"
Phoenix Academy Maggie's gentle expression froze at that moment, gradually showing a hint of coldness.
She realized the class president wasn't timid at all.
"What do you mean?"
Arakawa Reina straightened up and said solemnly, "I want to ask, in what capacity does the Phoenix Academy classmate manage such things?
You're not in a relationship with Mr. Aozawa, are you?"
Every word intensified the tension in the air. Phoenix Academy Maggie looked at Arakawa Reina coldly, as if she were looking at a lifeless corpse.
The chill made Arakawa Reina's hands and feet cold. She wanted to immediately take back what she said and beg for forgiveness.
But in the end, she didn't succumb to that fear.
Mr. Aozawa was her friend, and she wanted to give him a boost.
Using her life to ignite the flames of Mr. Aozawa's love.
"Shouldn't such things wait until you're in a relationship with Mr. Aozawa before you have the right to say anything?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about. If you're willing to chat with Aozawa, then keep chatting with him."
Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't want to discuss the topic further and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Arakawa Reina taunted, "Unlike someone else, I'm not a coward. I not only want to chat with Mr. Aozawa, I want to be with him too!"
"Shut up."
A cold voice seemed to float from the underworld, freezing even the Sanzu River.
She did not stop, "In this small grove, in an empty classroom, on the rooftop, in the sports equipment room, in the night park, after I'm with Mr. Aozawa, I want to try all kinds of places."
"Shut up!"
"His body is so strong, with eight-pack abs, his stamina must surpass a bull."
Smack!
A vicious slap landed on Arakawa Reina's cheek, cutting off her next words.
Phoenix Academy Maggie stared at her, anger making her chest heave, like a precariously hanging grapefruit.
Arakawa Reina was briefly stunned, silently adjusted her crooked black-rimmed glasses, and asked, "Phoenix Academy classmate, in what capacity did you hit me?"
"I just couldn't stand your filthy words fouling my ears. If you dare say them again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Phoenix Academy Maggie withdrew her hand and walked out of the grove.
The blazing anger surged from her chest straight to her mind, seemingly manifesting beyond her body.
Arakawa Reina only felt that Phoenix Academy Maggie's back was burning with fire, as if about to set the entire grove ablaze.
With a thud, she could no longer support herself standing on the lawn and collapsed, touching her burning cheek, tears welling in her eyes, "It hurts so much. Did I overdo it? If I cause Phoenix Academy Maggie to take her anger out on Mr. Aozawa, what should I do?"
Arakawa Reina muttered to herself, contemplating the potential consequences of her actions, then took out her phone.
Thinking for a moment, she still didn't send a message to Aozawa, as it wasn't easy to explain this kind of thing.
A feeling of regret filled her heart. She didn't know why she chose to use stimulation therapy at this time.
Could this really help Mr. Aozawa?
Arakawa Reina touched her cheek, her expression revealing a hint of bewilderment, worried she might have messed up with good intentions.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Aozawa silently exited Catalyst Induction, the detached state of mind fading away.
Earlier, he had sensed the class president and the young lady's Defense Barrier approaching, curious about what topic the two could have.
Unexpectedly, he ended up hearing such things.
Now, there was only one thought in his mind: what should he do now?
