Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 804 - 797: Burning One’s Bridges (Part 2)

Peter passionately shared his acting experiences, his face showing no sign of being a bystander.

But Aozawa just wanted to punch him and replied irritably: "You talk too much, get out of my way."

Pushing away this guy who wanted to become his life mentor, Aozawa walked out of the classroom and proceeded down the corridor stairs.

He headed alone to the club building, turned a corner, and arrived at the window of the Guzheng Club.

"Ah~ Your Royal Highness The Prince, up ahead is the castle of the evil dragon, the legendary Sleeping Beauty resides in the high tower."

A melodramatic recitation could be heard from the activity room. Aozawa approached the window and saw Natsuka Yanagimachi acting as the prince's servant.

Her portrayal of the sycophant was vividly animated.

Aozawa couldn't help but say: "Summer Flower, what a pity you're not transported to the medieval times to serve as a prince's servant."

"Oh dear, isn't this our beautiful and noble Sleeping Beauty Princess?"

Natsuka Yanagimachi once again spoke in a reciting tone, paired with an exaggerated expression on her face.

The punchability index was full to the brim.

Aozawa clenched his fist, and the cracking sound of bones startled Natsuka Yanagimachi, who quickly hid behind Hojo Shouko, then peeked out saying: "Don't do anything reckless."

Aozawa shot her a glare, then turned to Hojo Shouko and said: "Shouko, Riki asked you to play the prince this time.

If you don't want to perform, I can explain the situation to the teacher."

In his view, bringing Hojo Shouko along was clearly an attempt to pull all the Treasure Users onto the same stage.

Hojo Shouko was slightly startled by Aozawa's words.

She looked at the boy outside the window, thought it over, then stepped forward and handed him a bento saying: "Aozawa-senpai.

I asked Teacher Riki for this favor, please don't blame her."

"Eh?!"

Aozawa took the bento, his eyes flashing with amazement.

He looked at the girl in front of him, her short black hair covering her ears, the fair and oval face typical of a beauty, enveloped in the usual quietness.

The curved eyebrows reminiscent of a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

Hojo Shouko stood upright, smiled demurely, saying: "I like acting."

"I see."

Aozawa's heart was overwhelmed with turbulent waves.

He hadn't expected that the outwardly obedient and honest Hojo Shouko had such thoughts inside her.

Nor did he expect that the one who proactively sought out Riki was Hojo Shouko.

Liking acting.

This excuse was really too flimsy.

Looking at Hojo Shouko's calm face, he understood that he shouldn't stay here any longer, hence said: "I'll be leaving then."

"Hmm."

Hojo Shouko replied lightly, watching him leave until his figure disappeared from her sight, finally allowing the tension in her heart to relax.

Her fair cheeks flushed with color.

She was so nervous that her toes curled, seeming like she might tear through her black stockings and dig into the tatami beneath.

Natsuka Yanagimachi approached, full of excitement, saying: "Shouko, you were so brave just now, you actually admitted in front of him it was you who requested this!"

"No, it's not."

Hojo Shouko's tone appeared somewhat panicked, like a frightened deer startled by a fierce tiger.

Her heart was pounding wildly.

She wasn't sure what was happening, just realized that Aozawa-senpai always treated her as a harmless little sister.

That image hadn't bothered Hojo Shouko in the past, but now she felt that perhaps such an image should change.

There are many kinds of sisters.

Hojo Shouko felt she might not be satisfied with merely being the sister of a friend of the senior.

Once you stir the desire for more, it can be impossible to control.

She always understood why some people still increased their investments despite significant losses, ending up bankrupt.

Desire isn't something easily controlled by humans.

"Haha."

Natsuka Yanagimachi laughed, patting her shoulder in encouragement: "You don't need to explain, this is great.

Aozawa-senpai isn't stupid, he surely understands your intentions.

Your attitude, full of aggression, will help you vie with the others on stage and the young ladies.

In the next few days, watch more Western Sword videos, don't let them stab you."

Regarding how to choose the prince to awaken the princess, they have already reached a unanimous decision.

First, rule out using Noble Phantasms for fighting to leave one person alive to kiss the princess awake on the bed.

That kind of action is too disruptive and unsuitable.

Arakawa Reina proposed a very simple rule, which is for everyone to fight using the provided Western swords.

Apply red dots on the sword; whoever gets hit falls down dead.

The last one standing gets to choose to kiss the princess awake.

"Hmm."

Hojo Shouko responded softly. She wasn't good at competing with others, but if there was something truly worth striving for, she didn't want to lose.

She had no way out anymore.

...

On the third floor, inside the Manga Club, the window was open, and a refreshing autumn breeze blew in from outside.

Nomura True Wave took out a napkin and wiped her mouth. She looked at Phoenix Academy Maggie sitting opposite her and expressed some concern, "Maggie, are you really not going to find a professional Western sword coach to teach you?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie also put down her chopsticks, the oil from the ramen still on her lips, giving them a jelly-like sheen.

She shook her head and said, "No need, Hojo and the others haven't found professional Western sword coaches either.

With the same physical conditions, if I find a Western sword coach, wouldn't that prove I'm worse than them?"

"That's really not like you."

Nomura True Wave remembered she had once said to utilize all available resources to achieve victory and not to do reckless things.

According to that theory, hiring a Western sword coach to tutor oneself is also a part of resources.

Phoenix Academy Maggie shrugged and said, "That's true, but sometimes, a person just wants to be a bit willful, without any weighing or consideration, just suddenly making a decision in a moment.

If I don't want to hire one, I just don't want to.

Makoto, they are the only ones I must defeat fair and square."

The girl's eyes were bright, and her expression was even more exuberant, shining brighter than her long golden hair.

Nomura True Wave picked up a drink from the side and said with a cheerful smile, "Alright, then I wish you great success from here."

Yoshikawa Sayuri also promptly grabbed her juice and leaned forward, saying, "Cheers."

"Cheers!"

Hojo Tetsuji also raised his glass and joined in.

Phoenix Academy Maggie laughed and said, "Cheers."

Drinking her juice in one gulp, Nomura True Wave looked at Hojo Tetsuji and teased, "Tetsuji-kun, if you're cheering for Maggie, what about Shouko?"

"No worries, she was just dragged into a play by the teacher, she doesn't really want to be the prince."

Hojo Tetsuji answered casually, thinking his sister was just too honest, which is why the teacher recruited her.

Nomura True Wave couldn't help but snark, "Have you ever thought that our class has enough girls, there's no need to let the first-year Shouko join.

Even if the teacher wants someone, they wouldn't grab her, unless she voluntarily wanted to join."

"Eh, does Shouko-chan have an interest in Aozawa?"

Yoshikawa Sayuri showed a shocked expression and recalled how Shouko asked about Aozawa on Saturday, which indeed seemed a bit odd, "I remember Shouko-chan asked about Aozawa on Saturday."

Bam!

Tetsuji Hojo crushed the canned beverage directly.

Luckily, he had just finished drinking it all in one go, otherwise, it would have spilled out.

"Little Sayuri, I'm going ahead!"

Tetsuji Hojo stood up and quickly walked outside, not even packing up his lunch box; he only had one thought now.

Yoshikawa Sayuri scratched her head and said, "Is it alright?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Phoenix Academy Maggie said, but then there was the almost roaring voice of Hojo Tetsuji from outside, "Aozawa! Where are you?!"

The loud voice echoed through the club building.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was slightly stunned and added, "Probably."

"..."

Yoshikawa Sayuri didn't know what to say, torn between a good friend and a future sister-in-law.

Who should she support?

After a brief moment of hesitation, she suddenly realized that Aozawa was probably facing this kind of dilemma too.

If you choose everything, then there's no dilemma.

Aozawa is really quite smart!

Yoshikawa Sayuri thought, and if it goes smoothly, then she wouldn't need to struggle with whom to support.
