Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 796 - 792: Aozawa’s Double Standards

Students consulting a teacher about love matters might sound a bit absurd, but if it's Teacher Riki, it feels completely normal to the students.

Although Teacher Riki hasn't been teaching at the school for long, her relationship with the students has already become very harmonious.

Regardless of whether they are male or female, everyone has developed a certain degree of fondness for Teacher Riki; she's like a mirror with a beauty filter.

Everyone can see the best version of themselves in the mirror.

This is intentional on Teacher Riki's part.

She must cultivate a very approachable image; only in this way can she blend in with the students, thereby learning what the professor was doing at the time.

Teacher Riki doesn't ask the professor's matters directly, fearing it would alert the enemy.

She hopes that by getting closer to the students, they will reveal things during casual conversations.

She then shows appropriate interest and effortlessly extracts information.

This method takes time, but the advantage is that it doesn't attract attention.

Teacher Riki believes there's definitely something wrong with this school.

Those who believe in the existence of a Different World might attribute the events at this school to Phoenix Academy Maggie.

If it weren't for Phoenix Academy Maggie proposing to hunt the Unicorn during her trials in Alaska State, she wouldn't have pulled in her classmates and Morimoto Chiyoda to take action together.

Subsequently, Dio wouldn't have ascended to Paradise and chosen those trial participants, granting them Noble Phantasms.

But Teacher Riki is thinking from the professor's perspective; when he was alive, he was merely exploring this school yet managed to have such an expression before he died.

Combining with the appearance of those Treasure Users in this school makes Teacher Riki increasingly certain that the professor had figured out something significant before his death.

Dio's true identity is likely hidden somewhere within this school, perhaps among the Treasure Users?

Or is it someone else?

Teacher Riki is not sure yet.

From a common-sense perspective, Dio should be among those Treasure Users, but it's possible others are not without suspicion.

Human personalities and orientations are diverse.

Some people just don't like to stand in the spotlight themselves. They prefer to hide in the dark, giving the glory to others, while they secretly control everything.

For example, matching the girl they like with another guy.

Then, using their ability, they assume the identity of that guy to perform various acts on the girl, enjoying the thrill of cuckolding someone else.

In such a scenario, if Teacher Riki rashly decided to probe a few Treasure Users, it would undoubtedly be a very unwise choice.

She doesn't need to rush either; as long as she's in this school and blends in with the students, she will eventually have the opportunity to uncover the truth.

The key is to establish her persona well, achieving her goal by cooking them slowly like a frog in warm water.

She took a sip of tea and noticed two girls walking back and forth at the door.

Teacher Riki put down her teacup and called out, "Hojo, Yanagimachi, come in for a moment."

Hojo Shouko and Natsuka Yanagimachi, pretending to loiter at the door, quickly entered from outside.

...

The sprawling area of the staff room, with each desk representing a teacher.

Every time Natsuka Yanagimachi enters the staff room, she feels like a little rabbit entering a den of wolves.

As a poor student, her biggest fear is dealing with teachers.

However, Teacher Riki is different from the usual teachers; she never brings up studying, which students dread, but is instead very concerned about their personal lives.

This makes Natsuka Yanagimachi feel more willing to approach her; she glanced at Teacher Riki.

Wearing a snow-white dress that should exude purity, under that alluring figure, it carried a hint of devilish temptation.

"Why were you two wandering back and forth outside?"

Teacher Riki inquired.

Hojo Shouko was about to speak, but seemed slightly hesitant.

Is it really okay to consult a teacher about such things?

While she hesitated briefly, Natsuka Yanagimachi seized the opportunity to speak first, "Teacher Riki, here's the situation.

Shouko is currently troubled by relationship issues.

She doesn't know if the person she likes is interested in her, so she's hesitant to confess, hoping you can offer some advice."

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Riki immediately showed an interested expression and asked, "Who is the person you like?"

Hojo Shouko hesitated slightly before whispering, "Aozawa-senpai."

"Oh, it's him."

Teacher Riki looked suddenly enlightened.

Setting aside the suspicion that someone is secretly shaping a protagonist and secretly manipulating the heroine.

Among those Treasure Users, the one she suspects the most is Aozawa.

Considering those in Japan who handle Noble Phantasms, it feels like Aozawa is highly suspect.

The classmates in the class, no need to say more, are all related to Aozawa.

Even Sunaga Takashi is Aozawa's rival.

Conversely, Sunaga Takashi is also suspicious.

After losing to Aozawa in Sword Dao, perhaps he wanted to mold him into the most perfect rival.

Hence, everyone around Aozawa becoming Treasure Users is not an impossible scenario.

As for Hojo Tetsuji, Teacher Riki removed him from the list, as his mind is too simple, similar to Ayatsuki Ayaka, not suitable for such deeds.

The third person Teacher Riki suspects is Morimoto Chiyoda.

That one has enough intelligence and means.

Next are Phoenix Academy Maggie, Arakawa Reina, and then Hojo Shouko.

The order of these people at the back is just a list compiled by Riki to ensure no one is missed.

It doesn't mean she truly suspects everyone in her heart.

She still prioritizes the top three.

"If you want to judge whether Aozawa likes you, you need to judge if he has double standards in his treatment towards you compared to other girls.

That's how men are. The same thing done by a girl they like is different than when done by a girl they don't like."

Riki shared her extensive experience in love.

For example, hosting a party with many people; in the eyes of someone who likes her, it's seen as her being free and open.

For those who don't like her, she's labeled as a bitch.

A super public bus.

Hojo Shouko fell into contemplation, the same issue treated differently.

Using this standard to judge, Aozawa-senpai indeed has different attitudes towards her and Natsuka Yanagimachi.

However, it seems not to be on the same matter. Hojo Shouko decided to test it at noon.

"If you know his attitude, should you confess right away?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi asked the follow-up question.

Riki thought for a moment, then said: "When it comes to such matters, it must be romantic."

At this point, a plan emerged in her mind, and she continued: "Isn't the school's cultural festival happening this Saturday?

I can find a way to put Hojo into the second-year Class C. They want to perform a stage play, perfect for 'Sleeping Beauty,' where the prince kisses the princess."

"Eh?!"

Hojo Shouko was shocked and took a step back, quickly waving her hands: "That kind of thing is not possible!"

Just imagining it made Hojo Shouko feel her heart race, blood rushing to her cheeks, painting them crimson.

Riki smiled and said: "Don't you think it's so romantic?

In such an atmosphere, the audience will applaud and offer their blessings."

"Well..."

Hojo Shouko was still hesitating, and Natsuka Yanagimachi quickly said: "Then it's up to the teacher."

"It's okay; I like helping others."

"Okay, then we'll take our leave."

Natsuka Yanagimachi pulled her along quickly to avoid Hojo Shouko's regrets.

Outside the staff room, Hojo Shouko glared at her friend, with a rare trace of annoyance in her voice: "Summer Flower, why did you agree to this?"

"If I don't push you, how would you move forward?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi replied cheerfully, unaffected by her words.

Her manner of being unfazed left Hojo Shouko rather helpless.

Inside the staff room, Riki began pondering how to use the cultural festival's stage play to test their reactions.

Although the chance of Hojo and the others being Dio is small, finding a way to confirm is still necessary to rule them out.

She wanted Aozawa to be the princess.

As for who will earn the right to awaken the princess with a kiss, it depends on who is stronger: Ayatsuki Ayaka, Hojo Shouko, Arakawa Reina, Phoenix Academy Maggie.

...

Gentle sunlight bathed the outside of the Guzheng Club, and lunchtime arrived.

Hojo Shouko never felt this way before, both wanting to see Aozawa-senpai yet somewhat afraid to meet him, hoping he would come later.

She held her lunchbox, her mind racing.

Natsuka Yanagimachi peeked outside and then turned back: "Hehe, Aozawa-senpai is here.

Let's both flick his forehead."

"Alright."

Hojo Shouko stepped forward and stood alongside her.

Aozawa approached the window, and the two raised their hands simultaneously to flick his forehead.

Very gently.

Aozawa didn't dodge and flicked Natsuka Yanagimachi's forehead in return.

"Ah, Aozawa-senpai, why didn't you flick Shouko too?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi complained, clutching her forehead, while Aozawa replied vexedly: "It's definitely you encouraging Shouko to do this behind my back; otherwise, why would she flick me?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi was dumbfounded by his reasoning, unable to refute, she could only pout: "Hmph, you're just biased."

Hojo Shouko wasn't sure whether this counted as Aozawa-senpai's double standards, listening to a decision based on factual reasoning.

After all, Hojo was considered to have a well-behaved image in Aozawa-senpai's mind.

Hojo Shouko thought for a moment, then courageously said: "Aozawa-senpai, this time, I was the one who suggested to flick your forehead together with Summer Flower."

"Haha, is that so."

Aozawa chuckled but didn't flick back.

Natsuka Yanagimachi noted his attitude towards her and Shouko, a sudden surge of indignation swelling within her chest.

She felt like shouting up to the heavens, "May the double-standard dog meet a bitter end!"

Hojo Shouko blushed slightly and offered him the lunchbox: "Aozawa-senpai, today it's eel lunch."

"Hmm."

Aozawa accepted the lunchbox and said: "I heard the class needs one more person for the cultural festival stage play, and Teacher Taizo is selecting from first-year students. Do you know who it is?"

"It's me."

Hojo Shouko responded quietly, her gaze with no trace of hesitation.
