Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 684 - 682: The Class President Takes the Field, the Overachiever Is Born
Before the trial begins, everyone has to stay inside the hotel. If they want to eat something, they can always call the hotel's front desk staff to ask for it.
No need to go out, as delicious food will be delivered to the door.
They can also watch a lot of TV shows or enjoy the entertainment facilities within the hotel itself.
In this seemingly relaxed but actually tense atmosphere, they usher in ten o'clock in the morning.
Aozawa chooses to start the game trial.
At this moment, all the participants receive a message on their phones.
"Do you want to participate in the trial?"
Although it sounds like a question, according to Aozawa's setup, even if you click No, it will trigger the yes button, and even ignoring it or clicking X won't allow an escape.
He's merely asking, not genuinely seeking the participants' opinions.
With a flash of white light, Aozawa vanishes from the hotel's presidential suite, and the next second appears on the outskirts of Fairbanks, still at the spot where he admired the Northern Lights yesterday.
Everyone entering Alaska State will return to the territory they last left.
He steps on the ground, with heavy lead-colored skies gently showering snowflakes; it's small, like God idly tearing clouds into foam for fun.
According to the time difference, it's four o'clock in the afternoon now in Alaska State.
"It's snowing."
A clear voice sounds beside him.
He turns his head; the girl in the snow hasn't braided her hair into a braid but lets her black, slightly curled hair flow over her shoulders. She isn't wearing black-framed glasses, opting for contact lenses instead.
Snow lands in the girl's palm; it's hard to distinguish whether it's snow or fingers that are white, her cherry lips glistening moistly and tenderly.
Her attire has also changed from yesterday's school uniform to a goose-yellow long-sleeved T-shirt paired with light jogger pants and sneakers.
At this moment, Arakawa Reina seems to break her original seal, revealing her true beauty.
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
Aozawa speaks with dual meanings.
Arakawa Reina's face turns slightly red, feeling a bit unsure whether he's complimenting the snow scene or herself.
But she secretly breaths a sigh of relief, believing her effort to change has achieved some result.
After a night of contemplation, Arakawa Reina finally figured it out: she should pair Aozawa and Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Of course, this doesn't mean she's only satisfied with that.
Quite the contrary, Arakawa Reina intends to use this method as an entry strategy.
If she only relies on Mr. Aozawa's gentleness to get in, she might be bullied by other girlfriends; by becoming the woman who arranges a harem for Mr. Aozawa, she could ensure her own position, couldn't she?
When her thoughts opened up, she realized many ways for her to be with Mr. Aozawa.
Looking through history, the consorts who helped the emperor expand his harem often secured their own positions.
Moreover, she should be open-minded, possessing the dark green intention to assist Aozawa and Ayatsuki Ayaka as they work ahead, lending a hand from the back.
Of course, these matters do not need to be urgent.
Arakawa Reina's current plan is to first successfully pair Aozawa and Phoenix Academy Maggie, using this as her opportunity to rise.
Then, whenever she thinks about Aozawa and Phoenix Academy almost confirming their relationship, she feels a peculiar thrill at the thought of getting ahead.
"Mr. Aozawa, what are you planning next?"
"Chitose mentioned looking for a demon with a red unicorn horn on its forehead, do you know about it?"
"Yes, the lady mentioned it yesterday, saying that if it's not resolved, a very terrifying super-giant demon, the Dread Emperor, might appear."
At this point, she turns the subject: "Mr. Aozawa, Fairbanks isn't far from Juneau; let's move with the lady.
I heard about a one-time magical treasure called the Companion Talisman, take it, and you can appear beside the person whose name you recite.
We can look for it in the outskirts." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Arakawa Reina knew about the current trial's magical treasures at the meeting hosted by Phoenix Academy Maggie yesterday.
The magical treasures scattered over Alaska State are divided into three types.
One is the magical treasures that can be used repeatedly.
Each of these magical treasures bears a unique name, not repeated, and they are scarce in number.
Secondly, there are common one-time magical treasures, these treasures are diverse and exist in large quantities.
Common one-time magical treasures include the Five Thunder Strike Talisman, Thousand Mile Eye, Earth Escape Talisman, and so on.
The third type is storage magical treasures unaffected by attack-defense, like Sleeve Universe, Palm World, and so forth.
Overall, one-time magical treasures are common and of low value.
The magical treasures for repeated use are the primary target of competition.
This kind of magical treasure can be used as long as the user is eliminated, and whoever picks it up becomes the new owner.
If the owner isn't eliminated, the treasure cannot be used.
Additionally, items stored in the Sleeve Universe do not burst out, so it's best to store good things inside the Sleeve Universe.
Take them out at critical moments to avoid attracting hunters coveting magical treasures outside.
Arakawa Reina has a Sleeve Universe, which she affixes to her left shoulder.
Before entering Alaska State, she reached for her left shoulder but had no response.
Once inside, Arakawa Reina could reach out and grab her magical artifact from her left shoulder.
She took out the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground, which was currently one of the most powerful magical artifacts she possessed.
Arakawa Reina also liked using flames to burn her enemies.
As for Mjolnir, though it was powerful, Arakawa Reina wasn't fond of its appearance; she preferred the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground, which could attack with a simple shake.
Aozawa drew the Demon-Subduing Sword.
Although this was the first magical artifact he ever possessed, its power was the strongest among the magical artifacts in Alaska State.
It has the ability to grow along with its owner.
The magical artifacts he gave to Phoenix Academy Maggie and the others are like this, belonging to the top tier in the game, specifically to prevent them from being eliminated.
...
Due to restrictions from various countries, the United States Air Force stationed in Alaska State couldn't be dispatched to help transport people.
The fastest human transportation methods were essentially rendered useless.
Although the United States tried hard at the United Nations Assembly to persuade other countries to allow their air force to gather trial participants from various locations here.
But while other countries trusted the speed of planes, they didn't trust the United States.
They feared accidents might occur with the planes, causing a collective ascension of trial participants aboard and leaving the magical artifacts unaccounted for.
So, countries did not agree to this request and refused the United States Air Force to transport their own people.
The reason being the Shadow Emperor said not to use military force, how could they let military power intervene?
Railways were not reliable either.
After much thought, the best method was to use disposable magical artifacts like the Companion Talisman or Earth Escape Talisman that could fly to someone else's side.
But after Aozawa and Arakawa Reina explored the area, they couldn't find any disposable magical artifacts; instead, they found a resident's house in the countryside.
The exterior looked quite retro, seemingly built with thick logs.
Outside the house was a fenced area with a simple garage, where a rugged, bright red off-road vehicle was parked.
A fifty-something Inuit man was chopping wood; he had narrow eyes, a broad nose with a downward curve at the tip, and despite the wind and snow, wore no fur coat.
He was shirtless, took a swig of white liquor, and then picked up an axe to chop the wood heavily.
Snow fell on his body, melting into water due to his body heat.
"Excuse me, sir, sorry to bother you."
Aozawa stepped forward, in his game settings all players dropped in Alaska State spoke the local language, eliminating any language barrier.
The wood-chopping old man glanced at them and deduced from their appearance they were not locals, "Oh, welcome, you're tourists here to see the Northern Lights, aren't you?"
"Sir, we're not foreign tourists. I'm Aozawa, and she's Arakawa Reina. We want to requisition your off-road vehicle to travel to Juneau."
Upon hearing this, the old man swung his axe and said, "Go away, are you kidding me? This Ford F-150 is my treasure, and my feelings for it cannot be severed."
"Three hundred thousand US Dollars."
Aozawa threw out a figure that left the old man dumbfounded. He swallowed his desire to refuse and felt as if the white liquor he had just drunk ignited a flame within him.
The old man scanned the two suspiciously and said, "You better not be fooling me, or I'll use my hunting rifle to show you what it means that private land is sacred and inviolable."
"Of course not, you can call the City of Fairbanks Hall and report my name.
They will wire three hundred thousand to your bank account."
Aozawa wasn't spending his own money to requisition the car, all expenses were reimbursed by the CIA.
The old man looked skeptical but couldn't resist the allure of three hundred thousand, so he turned inside to verify the matter.
A while later, the old man came out beaming, with dried deer meat and some biscuits and bread in hand, "Haha, there's some distance from here to Juneau, take these for the road."
"Thank you, sir."
Aozawa thanked him, and the old man smiled, "It's the least I can do. Here are the car keys, wish you a safe journey."
Though naturally attached to the Ford F-150 off-road vehicle, when faced with three hundred thousand US Dollars, hesitating even for a second would be disrespectful to money.
Rich young men indeed have an extraordinary way of spending!
The old man marveled, feeling he'd encountered a benefactor today.
Aozawa got in the car.
Arakawa Reina sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
In an instant, the thin material seemed like the full moon on the fifteenth of August, stretching out a perfectly round curve.
Even the patterns underneath were faintly visible.
Aozawa's gaze was drawn to her, Arakawa Reina blushed slightly; she didn't like riding in cars because fastening the seatbelt easily exposed her.
However, in front of Aozawa, she had a desire to showcase her figure more.
She suppressed the urge and softly asked, "Mr. Aozawa, can you drive?"
"Leader, I'm the kind of guy who can breeze through any review."
The roar of the off-road vehicle's engine echoed, and with a press of the accelerator, the Ford F-150 thundered away.
His driving style was known for its wildness, something Morimoto Chiyoda and Ayatsuki Ayaka were well aware of.
