Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 681 - 679: Gathering Place of the Immortals
The warm light fell on the corridor.
The cold air seemed to solidify at this moment. Phoenix Academy Maggie was silent for a moment, turned around, and looked at Arakawa Reina, who was bowing at the door.
The girl's two braids hung in the air, her forehead as white as snow, contrasting sharply with her black-rimmed glasses.
The movements were standard and sincere, making her look honest and well-behaved.
But the words just now were not something an honest and well-behaved girl would have the courage to say out loud.
Perhaps she wasn't aware of herself, but Phoenix Academy Maggie was very clear that the honest appearance was just a disguise to numb others.
"Are you trying to make me apologize to you?"
"Eh, no, not at all!"
Arakawa Reina quickly straightened up and waved her hands, trying to explain to her, but she didn't know what to say.
She couldn't possibly say she had suddenly realized her feelings for Aozawa and had gained a certain understanding of emotions.
This kind of thing is hard to put into words.
Arakawa Reina was so anxious she didn't know what to say.
Phoenix Academy Maggie said with a blank expression, "Then you don't need to apologize, and I won't apologize to you either.
Even if I were to go back to that time, I would have slapped you back then."
Having said that, she said no more, turned around, and continued towards the elevator.
Watching the gradually disappearing back of Phoenix Academy Maggie, Arakawa Reina sighed inwardly.
She envied the young lady's personality, deciding on something without regret, something she couldn't achieve.
Whenever Arakawa Reina found that what she did didn't meet expectations, she would constantly regret and find her own mistakes in the past.
But after finding the mistakes, she seemed unable to change them anyway.
The apology she mustered the courage to express earlier had no effect and could even be called meaningless.
Arakawa Reina couldn't understand why she did it, and it seemed even more embarrassing.
She turned her thoughts to Aozawa and sighed softly again.
What should she do?
Getting involved didn't seem right, or rather, she simply wasn't prepared for it.
Ugh, so annoying, Arakawa Reina exhaled, turned, and returned to her room, planning to take a hot bath to clear her mind.
Then she would think about the future.
Originally, her plan was to get into a good university, but encountering such things now made the future look uncertain and confusing.
This feeling of having no plan and no goal was something Arakawa Reina didn't like, she needed to rethink how her future should unfold and find new goals to strive for.
...
Eight o'clock in the evening, Tokyo Imperial Hotel, eighth floor.
Ding-dong, the elevator made a pleasant sound, and the door opened.
Ayatsuki Ayaka excitedly jumped out. In front of her were intricately decorated walls and ceilings, a red-carpeted floor, and a crystal chandelier that could only be seen in movies.
"Saeko, you guys look, this floor is so beautiful too!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka pointed at the chandelier with excitement, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, excited about everything she saw for half a day.
Takahashi Saeko followed behind, accustomed to such scenic layouts. The other two also didn't seem surprised.
Their social experiences were not something Ayatsuki Ayaka could match, having frequented such places often.
"Alright, Ayaka, you don't have to be so excited; it's just a chandelier."
"Wow, a chandelier, you speak as if you see it often. The farmer's only daughter's words sure sound lavish."
Ayatsuki Ayaka teased Miyahara Kaoru, still unable to hide the excitement between her brows. She felt she finally received the treatment a superpower user deserved.
This thrilling adventure and unusual life filled her with energy.
The only regret was that Aozawa wasn't there, nor could she find time to call or text. She still needed to brag to Saeko and the others about the fights in Alaska State, the people she met, and the demons encountered.
Tonight, there were endless stories waiting to be shared.
"Are you also here for the meeting?"
A gentle voice suddenly came from beside her. Ayatsuki Ayaka turned her head and found six girls walking towards them.
At the front was a girl with long, jet-black hair put up to reveal a beautiful swan neck, her small, delicate face charming and gentle. She wore a light green kimono with cherry blossoms, her sash tied, showing an obvious contour in her chest area.
Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded, "Yes, I'm Ayatsuki Ayaka, she's Takahashi Saeko, Tama Maru, and Miyahara Kaoru."
"I'm Iwasaki Misa, nice to meet you all. I'm in Barrow, Alaska. Where are you from?"
She smiled, trying to bring the four before her into her camp.
The current situation was quite clear. To survive the trial in Alaska State until the end, one not only needed to rely on their efforts but also on companions.
With magical treasures and demons, they could band together and plunder any foreign groups or groups outside their own.
Lone wolves who fought solo were those unable to find companions and merely wove themselves a cloak of shame.
True powerhouses are always surrounded by groups of people.
"I'm in Juneau; these are my friends not participating in this trial."
Ayatsuki Ayaka replied with a cheerful smile.
"Heh heh."
A long-faced girl behind Iwasaki Misa let out a sneer, her eyes flashing with disdain.
Even the people passing by looked at Takahashi Saeko and the others with peculiar expressions.
Ayatsuki Ayaka looked left and right, unable to understand why everyone seemed to be looking at her.
Takahashi Saeko knew well why the people around them were casting such strange glances.
"I see."
Iwasaki Misa's attitude clearly cooled a bit. She had originally thought there were four good helpers, but it turned out there were three ordinary people.
And another one whose mind seemed a bit off.
She didn't speak, but the long-faced girl behind her continued to sneer, "This is a place where all the immortals gather to discuss matters, no place for mortals to meddle."
"Are immortals really coming?"
Ayatsuki Ayaka was a bit confused. She was here to discuss how everyone could coexist in Alaska State. She hadn't heard that Xuanxiao would also participate in this meeting.
The long-faced girl was annoyed by her sluggishness, thinking she was mocking her on purpose, and immediately scolded, "We have all been chosen by the immortals, passed the first trial, and will certainly become immortals in the future.
What does it mean for you to bring three people who weren't chosen?
In this building, they are only fit to serve tea."
Ayatsuki Ayaka understood what she meant, and angrily shouted, "Damn it, apologize to Saeko and the others right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Those who originally planned to leave quickly stopped in their tracks, their natural curiosity lingering in their hearts.
The long-faced girl sneered, not intimidated, and planned to teach a lesson to this fool who lowered the trial's standards.
Iwasaki Misa looked ahead and saw the blonde girl stepping out of the meeting room, smiling, and said, "Phoenix Academy, aren't you going to manage this situation?"
...
With a single sentence, all the people present turned their eyes to the doorway.
Phoenix Academy Maggie was not yet aware of the situation, did not recklessly speak out, and walked forward.
She glanced at the people present and asked, "What is happening?"
"Maggie, listen to me, this person actually insulted Saeko and the others by saying they only deserve to serve tea. She must apologize to them, or I will not let it drop!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka was full of anger.
Bullying her was like kicking cotton, easily making a big issue small, and small issues disappear.
But bullying her friends was like kicking an iron board.
She absolutely would not forgive, and the other party must apologize.
The surrounding gaze suddenly changed.
It turned out this person knew Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Iwasaki Misa smiled and said, "Is she your person?"
"No."
Phoenix Academy Maggie replied flatly, she did not remember making Ayatsuki Ayaka her subordinate.
Iwasaki Misa chuckled, "I thought so, but this meeting should not be participated in by those irrelevant to it."
"It's her freedom."
Phoenix Academy Maggie knew what the other party wanted, to sacrifice Ayatsuki Ayaka, letting most people agree with her and seize speaking power.
She didn't want to continue the conversation along this line, "Since your people started the provocation, they must be prepared to fight, let them have a match.
If they lose, they have to apologize."
Iwasaki Misa seemingly kindly reminded, "I remember you said earlier that fighting in the hotel is not allowed."
"My rules only protect those who follow them. I said earlier, do not provoke others casually.
Since she violated the rules and mocked Ayatsuki's friends face to face, she must be prepared to be knocked down by Ayatsuki Ayaka.
Or have the resolve to knock down Ayatsuki Ayaka."
Phoenix Academy Maggie showed a chilling expression.
Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded, reasserting, "If you don't apologize, I won't let you off lightly!"
Iwasaki Misa squinted her eyes, considering the gains and losses, and told Saegusa to step forward to compete with Ayatsuki Ayaka.
If she fails, as the leader, if she doesn't step in, then what kind of leader is she?
But now she is not sure she can win against Phoenix Academy Maggie.
She took the initiative to bow, "I apologize on behalf of Saegusa to the four of you, I'm really sorry."
"Miss Iwasaki, you don't need to…"
Saegusa paused, looking at Phoenix Academy Maggie, biting her lip, knowing very well the close relationship between Ayatsuki Ayaka and the Prime Minister's daughter.
Miss Iwasaki is apologizing for me.
She was deeply moved, bowed, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you."
This group of bullies! Today's disgrace must be repaid tenfold!
Saegusa thought viciously.
Ayatsuki Ayaka turned to look at her three friends.
Takahashi Saeko nodded, unconcerned with what had been said.
Passing one trial is not reaching the pinnacle, who knows what other trials await, with such inflated character, it's difficult to make it to the end.
In contrast, people like Iwasaki Misa cannot be underestimated.
"If you do it again, I won't go easy on you!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Ayatsuki Ayaka snorted, disinclined to stay with these annoying people.
She hooked arms with them, entered the elevator, and didn't attend the meeting.
Phoenix Academy Maggie did not stop them.
This meeting of cooperation was originally up to everyone to decide whether or not to participate.
She swept her gaze over the surroundings and found that many people held dissatisfaction toward her.
Clearly, for these people, those who passed the first trial formed a circle, naturally holding higher status than people like Takahashi Saeko who were not chosen.
The earlier apology did not align with their thoughts.
Phoenix Academy Maggie knew how to win them over, but she wouldn't do that.
There are some principles she would never abandon.
"Those who want to attend the meeting may take their seats."
Phoenix Academy Maggie turned and headed back to the meeting room.
Iwasaki Misa straightened up.
It's very challenging to maintain balance, but creating a class of privilege is relatively easy.
Phoenix Academy Maggie did not uphold their privileges, so she shouldn't blame her for taking over the mantle of maintenance.
Iwasaki Misa led Saegusa and others into the meeting room.
