Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 679 - 677: I, the United States, Love Peace
In the depths of the Pine Forest, branches block the moonlight, and in the somewhat dim place, a snowman over three meters tall is charging forward.
It is covered with white fur, its arms are very long, almost touching the ground. Its palms are blue and very hard, seemingly wearing gloves made of blue steel.
As it runs, the snow beneath its feet is swept up by the strong wind, yet it doesn't make too loud of a footstep sound, only the whooshing sound of its body running.
"Class Leader!"
Aozawa shouted once.
Underneath Arakawa Reina's thick lenses, a pair of eyes is filled with cold killing intent. Toward this demon that broke the atmosphere between her and Aozawa, she wishes to cut it to pieces, waving the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground in her hand.
The flag flutters, and a surge of flame releases outward, then condenses into a fire dragon howling forward, melting the snow on the ground into water.
The snowman's body suddenly leaps to the side, thinking it can avoid the fire dragon.
But the fire dragon is only a general shape; the true ability of the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground allows the user to manipulate the flames, so from the body of the fire dragon bursts long whips of flame, which is entirely plausible.
With a crack, the fire whips like raging octopus tentacles lash wildly at the surface of the snowman, igniting the white fur.
"Roar!"
The snowman lets out a deafening roar, with a surge of vicious energy in its heart, wanting to press forward through the flames.
Arakawa Reina's eyes are cold, and she shakes the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground again, more flames answering her inner rage erupt outward.
Boom!
A pillar of fire dozens of meters high explodes on the ground, immediately turning the snowman within it into ashes.
All the snow on this piece of ground melts away, as if it just rained heavily.
After the snowman's death, a light sphere splits in two, falling into Aozawa and Arakawa Reina's bodies, a warm feeling swoops in, allowing her legs to move freely.
This is Aozawa's setting for the game; players can recover their injuries by defeating monsters.
"Class Leader, what do you think?"
"It doesn't seem to be enough."
Arakawa Reina lightly sighs, helplessly saying, "Sorry, Mr. Aozawa, I'll have to trouble you to continue carrying me."
"It's alright."
Aozawa ponders, Arakawa Reina's earlier words about the moonlight being beautiful weren't just perfunctory.
He is certain, Arakawa Reina's foot is fine now, yet she still wants him to carry her, obviously with some ulterior motive.
But since Arakawa Reina didn't respond to him earlier, could it mean she still thinks it's too soon?
Or perhaps, she also can't accept the complex relationship between him and them?
Aozawa sighs in his heart, choosing not to break the illusion, matters of affection can only be honed slowly.
He certainly can't press aggressively on the class leader.
Aozawa carries Arakawa Reina, disappearing into the vast night.
...
Time passes bit by bit.
Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, and the open window brings the fragrance of osmanthus.
Takahashi Saeko sits upright on a chair in the Human Observation Society, her face full of coldness, surrounded by Tama Chan, Miyahara Kaoru, and then four Self-Defense Forces soldiers.
And the Prime Minister's Secretary from the Prime Minister's residence.
The events in Alaska State attracted the attention of countries around the world, especially those countries with people selected to participate in the trials.
Whether they are eliminated or continue to stay is something they need to pay constant attention to.
Regarding the relevant news, Takahashi Saeko is not clear.
Even if she wants to probe anything, she can't get specific information.
The Prime Minister's Secretary is like a statue.
Of course, Takahashi Saeko also believes he does not know about the events happening in Alaska State.
When encountering such unexpected situations, each country's first option is to control the news with high intensity, ensuring no information leaks to the public.
Before determining what impact the news will cause, this method of keeping it under wraps is obviously more convenient.
Takahashi Saeko adjusts her neckline, full of anxiety and impatience, wishing she could immediately fly to be by Iroha's side.
She genuinely fears Iroha might face some danger, what would happen to people if something occurred there?
Thinking this, Takahashi Saeko changes the leg she crosses and glances to the side.
Tama Chan is instinctively shaking her leg.
Miyahara Kaoru is even worse, her nails are almost digging into her flesh, her face extremely sullen.
It's been two hundred minutes since Iroha disappeared from the Human Observation Society.
In over three hours, with no news at all, each passing minute is torment.
Takahashi Saeko exhales, deeply feeling the importance of power.
If she held a high position, how could she obtain no information at all?
At this moment, Iroha's original seat suddenly flickers with white light, Takahashi Saeko abruptly stands up, and as the white light dissipates, a familiar figure appears.
"Iroha!"
Takahashi Saeko excitedly rushes forward.
Miyahara Kaoru and Tama Chan quickly move forward as well.
Ayatsuki Ayaka looks at their expressions, smilingly saying: "Hehe, sorry, I made you all worry."
"Are you alright?" "What exactly happened?"
In the face of their concern, Ayatsuki Ayaka places her hands on her hips, boasting: "I'm fine, if I were to tell you what I've been through, it'd be a long story that would leave you flabbergasted~"
The Prime Minister's Secretary sitting there has no choice but to come forward, saying: "Sorry, to interrupt your reunion, but what's happening in Alaska State concerns the nation.
"Miss Ayatsuki, have you been eliminated?"
"No, Xuanxiao said today's trial is over, and it will continue tomorrow, but the specific time hasn't been decided yet."
Ayatsuki Ayaka shook her head and couldn't help boasting to her three friends, "My strength has really increased."
As she spoke, she pinched the edge of the table with her thumb and index finger, lifted slightly, and the heavy long table easily left the ground.
It was as if she was waving a piece of paper in the air. Putting it down, she saw her friends' surprised expressions and said proudly, "This is the change after killing the demon, with a light orb merging into my body.
As for the magical treasures, Xuanxiao didn't give us any, how stingy."
She blinked, suddenly remembering something, and looking at the Prime Minister's Secretary and the Self-Defense Forces soldiers in front of her, she asked in confusion, "Uncle, why are you here in the Human Observation Society?"
"You're really slow."
Takahashi Saeko criticized, yet this familiar slowness brought her a sense of reassurance.
Iroha was still the same Iroha.
"Miss Ayatsuki, my name is Asano Raizo, Prime Minister's Secretary."
He introduced himself, then said seriously, "Regarding matters in Alaska State, the Prime Minister's order is to temporarily control the information. We hope you and other trial participants will temporarily stay at the hotel we've arranged."
"Oh, then how should I explain it to my family?"
"Don't worry, we will tell them in the name of the school that an outing was organized, to assure your family."
"Alright then."
Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded and didn't refuse this arrangement.
Takahashi Saeko worried that she would be sold and still thank the Prime Minister's Residence, quickly said, "We also want to stay with Iroha, otherwise, Iroha will not stay in the hotel."
"Yeah, yeah."
Ayatsuki Ayaka also wanted to have a good chat with them about her adventure in Alaska State.
The Prime Minister's Secretary nodded and said, "In that case, let everyone stay together."
...
Ending today's trial wasn't an improvised decision by Aozawa, but rather a premeditated plan.
According to his conception, this game has a progressive big storyline from Monday to the weekend.
The boss can't possibly appear after just a few hours; it needs a buildup, allowing the players to enhance their power and collect magical treasures first.
Otherwise, just a few hours of augmentation, and expecting players to face off against the Dread Emperor is obviously impossible, they'd be killed in a single blow.
Unless he weakened the Dread Emperor's setting, but doing so wouldn't align with his previous image of an apocalyptic Demon God.
To maintain the prestige of the Dread Emperor, naturally, the players' abilities need to be enhanced, at least to survive a few moves before Xuanxiao steps in to save the situation.
Aozawa returned to the small grove near Brilliant High School.
A drone flew overhead; as he stepped out of the grove, the drone immediately approached.
After a moment, a group of people ran towards him.
Leading the group was a tall woman, her white blouse seeming to rip amidst her bosom, while her beige tracksuit pants allowed for easy movement.
"Hello, Mr. Aozawa, I'm Linna Kumpf."
She stepped forward, a bit of sweat on her forehead, showing no underestimation due to Aozawa's youth, "May I ask if you failed the trial?"
"No, it's just that today's trial time has ended and will continue tomorrow."
Hearing Aozawa's response, Linna's eyes flickered with envy; she also wished to participate in that trial.
Unfortunately, not everyone qualifies to contribute to world peace.
"Did you bring back any magical treasures?"
"No, only felt a slight increase in my strength."
Aozawa answered truthfully.
As he continuously hunted demons, his power finally increased a little.
Don't underestimate this slight enhancement; one-thousandth of 100 million and one-thousandth of 5,000 are completely different.
Linna nodded and said, "Director Morimoto is keen to meet you, shall we go?"
"What about the other trial participants?"
"They are being picked up by someone else."
Linna answered honestly, explaining, "The current situation is very delicate. According to the agreement with the Prime Minister, schools are divided into two batches.
One batch assigned to the CIA, another managed by them.
You've been assigned to the CIA."
"Ah, that's surprising. I thought the CIA would want to take everyone."
"The current situation is different from before."
Linna answered briefly, thought for a moment, then decided to explain in detail to Aozawa.
Currently, the United States has set aside its previous domineering stance, advocating for peace and patiently engaging with other nations.
The reason is simple, the number of participants in the Alaska State trial from each country is limited, preventing any single country from overwhelming another.
Small countries, when united, have an advantage in numbers. Moreover, some of America's allies also wish to see America eliminated.
The reason is simple: if they eliminate American participants, America would have to attract allies or participants from small countries.
By that time, they could naturally ask for benefits.
Political opposition is not always true hostility; sometimes, it's a form of cooperation.
The United States, to avoid being isolated, can only wave the banner of peace, hoping not to be targeted.
