Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 714 - 712: These Are My Dearest Friends and Loved Ones

September 22, Friday.

The early autumn breeze carried a slight chill, and the soft sunlight sprinkled at the school gate as students whispered quietly.

Aozawa clutched his backpack and stepped through the gates of Brilliant High School.

Furusawa Kyoichiro, who was checking student attire at the entrance, spoke up, "Aozawa, are you okay?"

Yesterday's news had reached Furusawa Kyoichiro's ears.

Even though he wasn't particularly interested in those things, if he stayed in the classroom or walked through the corridors, he would always hear students talking about those matters.

After all, when the most conspicuous girl in the class disappears, it's only natural to stir up discussions among classmates, especially after that news piece emerged. They didn't recognize Aozawa, but they could identify based on the way Takahashi and others dressed.

A mosaic couldn't block their ability to recognize a classmate.

As a result, the absent Aozawa was naturally classified as part of the kidnapping case.

Aozawa smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm in good health."

"Hmm."

Furusawa Kyoichiro nodded, though he still wondered what kind of firepower the kidnappers possessed to abduct both Aozawa and Hojo Tetsuji?

To him, both of them seemed like incredibly strong boys.

The firepower the kidnappers must have had would at least need to take down several brown bears.

Furusawa Kyoichiro thought to himself and then continued to fulfill his duties as a discipline committee member, watching the passing students.

Aozawa walked towards the club building, went up to the second-floor kendo club, and opened the door to find the kendo club members all present.

"Good morning, Minister."

They froze slightly, quickly bowed, and then all crowded forward with excitement on their faces, "Minister, were you kidnapped?"

"I saw someone in the news who looked a lot like you." "How did they kidnap you?" "Is the government lying?" "I heard it was an alien abduction." "Nonsense, it was obviously underground people."

"You're all wrong, it was the Galaxy Federation Third Star System's Oute Tri-Army Command."

They all babbled their thoughts like a swarm of bees buzzing in his ears, and Aozawa had to raise his hand and say, "Alright, calm down, listen to me."

They blinked, staring at Aozawa, like attentive elementary school students in class.

"I was kidnapped. While walking at school, I suddenly noticed that the young lady and others seemed to be held hostage, so I wanted to step forward and rescue them."

Aozawa began rehearsing his script, telling how he followed them and then rescued Phoenix Academy Maggie at a critical moment.

Unfortunately, reality isn't a movie, and after heroically saving the damsel, he ended up caught by the kidnappers himself.

Because the kidnappers feared Phoenix Academy Maggie's threats, they didn't dare subject him to excessively brutal acts.

As Aozawa recounted, the people present listened with full excitement, as if they themselves were deep in enemy territory, navigating with the kidnappers.

...

At the same time, in the manga club.

Nomura True Wave and Yoshikawa Sayuri were also pestering Phoenix Academy Maggie to truthfully explain what happened those days.

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't hide from the two; she had previously told her mother she wouldn't tell outsiders, but were True Wave and Little Sayuri outsiders?

Of course not! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

They were her beloved family and friends.

Phoenix Academy Maggie truthfully recounted the events of the four trials, including the politics behind them, missing nothing.

Nomura True Wave, after listening, sighed, "I see, no wonder you confessed at that time. Just by showing up, Fairbanks was destroyed; the Dread Emperor is truly terrifying!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Yoshikawa Sayuri nodded repeatedly, blinking with foolish clarity in her eyes, "Is Fairbanks big?"

"It covers an area of 5,000 square kilometers."

At this, Phoenix Academy Maggie knew Yoshikawa Sayuri was unfamiliar with these concepts, so she simplified with a comparison: "One square kilometer is about as big as 140 standard soccer fields."

"Eh?!"

Yoshikawa Sayuri jumped up from her chair in fright, understanding the comparison well.

To her, a soccer field was already big enough, and 140 soccer fields together were still just 1 square kilometer.

For Fairbanks, with its 5,000 square kilometers, to be destroyed just by appearing...

Phoenix Academy Maggie said solemnly, "The Dread Emperor is definitely beyond any current thermal weapon. If Xuanxiao hadn't set up in advance, preventing it from acting, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Dread Emperor possesses the power to destroy this world!"

"Gulp."

Yoshikawa Sayuri gulped, patting her chest, "Luckily, it's already been dealt with."

"No, we didn't destroy the Dread Emperor.

If it was truly destroyed, a golden light orb would have appeared, but in reality, nothing like that happened.

The Dread Emperor was merely wounded and retreated back to the Different World."

Phoenix Academy Maggie shook her head, not believing that a being known as the Demon Realm itself like the Dread Emperor could die so easily.

If Xuanxiao was truly that powerful, he wouldn't have needed to sacrifice himself to allow trial participants a chance to ambush.

The Dread Emperor probably worried about the Shadow Emperor or Dio.

At its peak, the two wouldn't interfere with its actions.

But if wounded, who's to say they wouldn't choose to kick the Dread Emperor when it's down and take it out?

"You guys need not worry; in the short term, the Dread Emperor won't return here, and in that time, other things might occur."

"That makes sense."

Yoshikawa Sayuri nodded; such matters were definitely not for her to ponder.

Now she is more concerned about one thing: "Maggie, how strong is your power now?"

"Let's show you all."

Phoenix Academy Maggie grabbed one in each hand, lifting them into the air, "I can let you fly freely in the air now."

With that, she twisted her waist and directly held both arms out with the two of them.

They had no strength to resist, like paper being waved in the air with Phoenix Academy Maggie's hand.

"Wow!"

As their skirts fluttered, the two spun around several times before landing back on the ground.

Yoshikawa Sayuri swayed her body with excitement, "Amazing, Maggie! Have you evolved into a superhuman now?"

"Not that exaggerated, just jumping off the seventh floor, probably won't be a big deal, I can punch through walls."

Phoenix Academy Maggie modestly replied, "I'm still too weak."

Nomura True Wave felt like she was showing off, but instead of teasing, she asked, "How do you plan to get along with Aozawa?"

This question made Phoenix Academy Maggie look troubled, as she sat in a chair, "Ugh, I thought about it all last night, can only take it one step at a time.

Anyway, if he dares to do something strange, then I will!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie clenched her fists in a threatening manner.

Nomura True Wave grinned mischievously, her hands seemingly turning into electric motors, "So scary~ I'm really afraid you'll beat Aozawa to a pulp."

"Makoto, watch as I teach you a lesson, you scoundrel."

Phoenix Academy Maggie gave her a glare and went up to tickle her.

Nomura True Wave laughed heartily, running around the table.

...

Time slowly passed.

Phoenix Academy Maggie and Nomura True Wave returned to the school building, where groups of students were still gathered in the corridors; through the window, she could see each classroom divided into orderly little groups.

She felt a sense of awe, the familiar scenery now felt different after the trials, like the poetry in ancient books or a picturesque painting.

Phoenix Academy Maggie entered the classroom, noticing the glances from some students.

Her eyes scanned quickly.

The class president still had her hair in braids, wearing non-prescription black-framed glasses, seeming to revert to a well-behaved good student.

She softly chatted with concerned friends.

Several girls gathered at Ayatsuki Ayaka's desk, endlessly asking about the kidnapping details.

She wasn't shy at all, eloquently recounting her experiences, exaggerating for drama.

Not even realizing the contradictions in her story.

The listeners didn't mind; they just wanted to hear Ayatsuki Ayaka boast.

Anyway, everyone knew the outcome.

Phoenix Academy Maggie and Nomura True Wave parted ways, returning to her seat.

There was no dust, putting her backpack in the drawer, she sat down, looking out the window, with osmanthus still blooming, bringing a nice fragrance with the wind.

Phoenix Academy Maggie took out a textbook from her bag, flipping through it casually.

Her fair fingers turned the pages, making a rustling sound.

Her restless heart was soothed by the words in the book.

Thud, footsteps approached, pulling Phoenix Academy Maggie back from the tranquility of the text, her heart growing tense.

Slap, a hand landed on Phoenix Academy Maggie's shoulder, "Morning, Maggie~"

Aozawa pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling, "I didn't see Tetsuji, did he and Little Sayuri go on a date?"

The nonchalant tone let Phoenix Academy Maggie breathe a sigh of relief but also felt a little lost, what was this reaction?

She wasted a whole night thinking.

Yet it seems he acts as if nothing happened!

Phoenix Academy Maggie felt a bit upset, turning around, her heavy conscience like a cantaloupe on a fruit platter, placed on the table.

It was a scene Aozawa hadn't seen in a while.

Without waiting for him to take another look.

Phoenix Academy Maggie quickly folded her arms and glared at him, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you, haven't you forgotten what you said yesterday?"

Aozawa immediately looked sullen, as if abandoned by a heartless girl.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's domineering demeanor was instantly shattered, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and her hand brushed her messy bangs behind her ear, she forced herself to stay composed, "Th-this, well, some things, you should understand, right.

Yes, I don't need to say more!"

After this incoherent sentence, Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded as if she had accomplished something remarkable.

She straightened her back, looking back into Aozawa's eyes, only the slightly red ear tips revealed her true thoughts.

Aozawa supported his cheek with his hand, smiling, "Maggie, I won't give up."

"Hmm."

Phoenix Academy Maggie made a nasal sound, understanding what he meant.

Thinking carefully, their past relationship was just waiting to break that thin layer of paper.

Now, it's placed on the table, let's see who is more skillful.

She muttered, "I won't surrender easily."
