Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 817 - 806: Conflict and Thoughts

After the stage play ended, everyone from Class 2C who participated in the Sleeping Beauty performance stood on stage, bowing together to the audience below.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause below, the crimson curtain slowly closed, completely separating the people on stage from the audience below.

The atmosphere backstage was not relaxed at all, tense like a drawn bowstring.

Maggie Phoenix Academy said nothing. She straightened up, turned, and headed backstage.

Nomura Makoto hurriedly followed, comforting words rising from her heart but stopping at her lips, silently swallowed back down.

She didn't know how to offer comfort, or rather at this moment, she couldn't guarantee that what she said would be comforting rather than adding salt to Maggie Phoenix Academy's wounds.

As a close friend, Nomura Makoto understood well the pride within Maggie Phoenix Academy.

She could only remain silent, staying by her side, to avoid leaving Maggie Phoenix Academy alone.

Yoshikawa Sayuri came forward, having also seen the ending of Sleeping Beauty, her face filled with concern. "Maggie, are you okay?"

Maggie Phoenix Academy wanted very much to cheer up like usual, flashing a bright smile to tell the two that she was completely fine. Wasn't it just a failure?

In life, everyone encounters failure, but as long as one doesn't give up in their heart, they'll definitely win next time.

But her mouth moved slightly, unable to speak as she usually would.

"Sorry, Little Sayuri, let me have some quiet time."

Maggie Phoenix Academy patted Yoshikawa Sayuri's shoulder and walked in strides towards the changing room.

Right now, she only felt extremely annoyed by the uniform she was wearing.

If it weren't for maintaining her image, she even wanted to take her uniform off outside.

After the Battle of Yiling, what was Liu Bei's mood like?

Maggie Phoenix Academy felt she somewhat understood, the heavy blow making her feel stuffy in her chest, her limbs feeling like they had strength but couldn't exert it.

Effort isn't scary; what's scary is that after putting in effort, one still can't see any hope.

Is she someone who sticks to her beliefs? Or is she foolish for not knowing how to adapt?

"Maggie."

Yoshikawa Sayuri's face was full of worry, yet she still said nothing, only holding Maggie Phoenix Academy's right hand.

Nomura Makoto held her left hand.

"You still have us with you, don't lose heart."

"Mm."

Maggie Phoenix Academy nodded and walked into the changing room.

...

Where some are worried, others are even more worried.

The changing rooms in the hall were divided into male and female sections.

Before the performance, they could perhaps go in batches to change, not really gathering together.

But after it's over, they would inevitably return to the changing room to change and make space for the next class.

The stage doesn't end with Class 2C's performance; the next class performing is Class 3A.

They were presenting a girls' ballet.

Which also required using the changing room to change.

Aozawa stood in front of the locker, feeling the approach of four defense barriers.

He quickly removed the wig and dress, stuffed them into the bag, and changed into his Brilliant High School uniform.

He ran out the door, handing the princess dress and wig to Nishida Kana.

He strolled along the corridor, seemingly casually touching the walls, but in reality using Catalyst Induction to peek into the scene in the girls' changing room.

The air was tense.

Even Aozawa, in his dispassionate state, could feel the smell of gunpowder.

The girls' changing room was about eighty square meters, with two long dressing lockers placed inside.

Maggie Phoenix Academy stood in front of a locker, taking off her jacket, folding it and placing it inside her bag, then bending over to take off her pants as well.

Beside her, Ayatsuki Ayaka kept glancing over quietly.

Of course, she wasn't coveting the young lady's snow-like body and peachy hips.

She was simply observing this person's expression, while quickly glancing at the seemingly calm Hojo Shouko.

What to do?

She felt the atmosphere in the changing room was super awkward.

Although, as long as everyone changes clothes quickly, they can disperse and behave like nothing happened.

They could maintain the surface peace.

But isn't this kind of relationship precarious?

It's best if the relationships can be more harmonious.

But Ayatsuki Ayaka didn't know what to say.

She felt that her mouth was clumsy, and if she spoke rashly, she might make things worse.

Those big eyes swayed from side to side, eventually choosing silence.

Avoiding might not solve the problem, but it sure helps.

Ayatsuki Ayaka didn't want to speak.

Arakawa Reina did.

She took off her jacket, actively breaking the silence in the changing room. "Hojo-kun, congratulations on successfully waking Sleeping Beauty with a kiss. When are you planning to confess to Aozawa next?"

Arakawa Reina's words carried no hostility, seemingly just voicing a curiosity.

Hojo Shouko was caught off guard by the question, a slight blush appearing instantly on her fair cheeks.

Her heart was flustered, but she didn't choose to answer immediately, feeling that discussing such a topic in this atmosphere seemed somewhat inappropriate.

But thinking of Arakawa Reina's selfless assistance on stage, not responding to her question seemed kind of bad.

"I'm planning to tell Aozawa-senpai shortly after."

Hojo Shouko softly answered her.

Their conversation didn't involve Maggie Phoenix Academy at all.

Yet in this atmosphere, it seemed every word hinted at Maggie Phoenix Academy's failure.

Nomura Makoto slammed the door shut, turning her head to say, "Is it necessary to be so eager to say it here?"

She stared at Arakawa Reina, feeling she'd misjudged this person. Initially, she thought the class president was harmless, a straightforward girl.

Now it seemed, there was nothing straightforward about her, her cleverness was no less than others'.

Arakawa Reina looked at the angry Nomura Makoto, then glanced at Phoenix Academy Maggie wearing a pale yellow dress.

Her hair was tied up, with loose golden strands draping over her shoulders, and the slender pale yellow straps outlining her snow-white shoulders.

She's still so beautiful.

"Even if you were to take over the changing room, you can't stop people from talking."

"You!"

Nomura Makoto wanted to say something.

Phoenix Academy Maggie patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, Makoto, there's no need to get angry with her. Once you're changed, we'll leave here."

After speaking, Phoenix Academy Maggie gave a cold glance at Arakawa Reina, her eyes cold as she said, "If you want to provoke, you can come directly."

The atmosphere on the scene was immediately charged.

That wasn't trying to calm things down at all, it clearly seemed like they wanted to fight.

Nomura Makoto complained in her heart but also felt relieved.

Compared to being down and out, the angry, aggressive lady felt more familiar to her.

"Haha, we're all classmates here, there's no need to make it like this."

Ayatsuki Ayaka laughed as she tried to smooth things over.

Takahashi Saeko and Tama Maru were eager for the two to fight, just to watch the excitement.

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't look at Ayatsuki Ayaka, just stared at Arakawa Reina.

The onsite atmosphere became more awkward, Ayatsuki Ayaka felt so cold, as if even though it wasn't winter, she was being swept over by an unbearable intense chill.

What to do if it really turns into a fight?

Ayatsuki Ayaka was very troubled.

"You misunderstood, I'm not targeting anyone."

Arakawa Reina had no intention of fighting with Phoenix Academy Maggie.

She just wanted to draw some hatred.

She wanted to direct Phoenix Academy Maggie's hatred onto herself and then, at the right moment, stage a scene of being kicked aside by Aozawa, making Phoenix Academy Maggie understand the fact that Aozawa loves her more, and to choose to compromise.

Secretly, she would then quietly date Aozawa, acting as if sacrificing for the greater good didn't bother her.

After all, wanting to monopolize Aozawa was impossible, and it's unnecessary to care about titles if it can't be done openly.

Totally fine to monopolize Aozawa secretly.

They were both public, only she was in the dark.

Rounded off, it could be said she monopolized Aozawa.

"Is that so."

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't say anything else. Seeing Nomura Makoto had changed clothes, she took her hand and left the changing room.

The door closed.

"Phew."

Ayatsuki Ayaka let out a long breath and said, "Class rep, why did you suddenly say that, you scared me to death."

"I didn't say much."

Arakawa Reina shrugged and continued changing clothes.

Ayatsuki Ayaka didn't want to argue, she put on a serious face, walked over to Hojo Shouko, put her hands on her hips and said, "Shouko, I have to remind you of something.

It's me and Aozawa who were together first, my position is above yours."

"Yes, I know, Senior Ayatsuki."

Hojo Shouko bowed.

She didn't want to contest anything either.

Seeing her so straightforward, Ayatsuki Ayaka smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "From now on, don't call me Senior Ayatsuki, call me Sister Caiyu."

"Yes, Sister Caiyu."

Hojo Shouko obediently called out the name.

Ayatsuki Ayaka's eyes brightened, experiencing the exalted status of being an elder sister, laughing mischievously, "Call me again and see."

"Sister Caiyu."

"Again."

"Sister Caiyu."

"Again."

Before Ayatsuki Ayaka could finish her sentence, Takahashi Saeko delivered a chop to her head, teasing, "Are you a broken record? Hurry and finish changing so others don't have to wait long."

"Oh."

Ayatsuki Ayaka held her head and said to Hojo Shouko, "Good, Shouko, I permit you to date Aozawa."

"Thank you, Sister Caiyu."

Hojo Shouko nodded, thinking to herself, Senior Ayatsuki really is an easy-going person.

If Miss Morimoto and Phoenix Academy's Senior could be as easy to get along with as Senior Ayatsuki, that would be great.

She thought about it and felt that thinking this way was a bit rude.

Everyone has their own personality, and expecting everyone to accept her as quickly as Senior Ayatsuki is evidently a bit much.

Hojo Shouko always believed that the relationships between people should seek common ground while reserving differences.

However, Hojo Shouko couldn't understand the ideas of Senior Arakawa.

She seemed to also have an interest in Aozawa-senpai.

Yet she was willing to help herself achieve victory on stage.

Is it because the relationship with Phoenix Academy's Senior is too bad?

If that's the case, then Aozawa-senpai, who stands between them, trying to resolve their conflict, wouldn't have it easy.

She thought about it, put on a short skirt, stopped thinking about those issues, and started planning how to confess later.

On the other side, Aozawa saw that things had ended, and also stopped using Catalyst Induction to spy.

His hand left the wall, and at the moment he deactivated his ability, he also exited that state of no desires.

"Maggie, Reina..."

Aozawa had to think about how to appease them next.
