Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 692 - 690: Ignorant Courage Is Still Courage

"Moo~"

Under the lead-colored sky, a giant monster like a mountain let out a reluctant cry, then fell to the ground with its heavily battered body.

The tremor-like wave spread outward along the devastated frozen ground.

Pa, Ayatsuki Ayaka no longer cared about her image, directly sitting on the icy ground with the bright red Chaos Silk Ribbon mostly hanging into the bottomless crack.

She was covered in dirt, feeling utterly exhausted.

This battle was the longest she had fought since the trial began.

The group of four continuously wore down the monster, finally scraping it to death.

The massive body gradually turned black and cracked, and the emerging golden light sphere split into four, merging into each of them.

"So refreshing~"

Ayatsuki Ayaka looked rejuvenated, her arms and legs instinctively stretched out, and the previous fatigue was quickly dispelled by the sphere's restoration.

Her entire being became full of energy, feeling much stronger.

She jumped up, and with a little tiptoe on the ground, she flew toward Aozawa, wanting to share the joy of victory.

By coincidence, Phoenix Academy Maggie happened to stretch at that moment, her right hand just blocking between them.

Thus, Ayatsuki Ayaka landed on Phoenix Academy Maggie's right hand, clinging onto it like an octopus, rubbing her cheek against it, "How great!

Maggie, we won, we finally defeated this monster!"

She happily shook, ignoring the law of repulsion.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's lips curled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of amusement: "Ah, this monster really was terrifyingly strong."

Its constantly regenerating self-healing ability, highly destructive and densely packed snake-eye beams, the air cannon released by its long nose, and the earth-shaking charge were far beyond yesterday's monster.

But through the group's coordination, they managed to achieve victory in this tough battle, and thus the earned light sphere and that feeling of satisfaction made it a very exhilarating event.

Even Phoenix Academy Maggie couldn't suppress the excitement.

"Not easy, I checked the time, this battle lasted at least two hours!"

Aozawa smiled widely, the golden light sphere already had no effect on him, further proving his theory.

In the gamified world, the human body has a limit state, it won't enhance uncontrollably to the strength of bearing missiles.

Unless one ceases to be human.

"Eh, so it was that long!"

Ayatsuki Ayaka released her hold on Phoenix Academy Maggie's neck, landing back on the ground, and taking a step back under the repelling force.

Arakawa Reina spoke softly: "This also proves the troublesome nature of this monster; it's incredibly powerful, who knows what kind of power the Unicorn behind it holds."

This remark brought a heavy atmosphere around.

Phoenix Academy Maggie contemplated the Unicorn behind the scenes, feeling burdened.

If that one isn't swiftly eliminated, allowing the Dread Emperor to descend upon this world would be a desperate situation for Alaska State and all of humanity.

"There are things someone always has to do; let's not delay, hurry and see if we can track the lead character's whereabouts."

Phoenix Academy Maggie took out the Lucky Compass, her only magical treasure to try catching the Unicorn.

"Hmm."

Aozawa nodded, inwardly thinking the second round of trials should be coming to an end.

He couldn't refresh this level of monster frequently, letting the four fight side by side.

If there's no refreshment of external adversaries, the camaraderie he built with the three would fade with time.

Primarily the class leader and the young lady; Ayaka isn't an issue.

When the third round of trials starts tomorrow, Aozawa must change everyone's landing spots; dealing with three at once, the pressure is intense.

Best to interact separately before the harem atmosphere harmonizes.

…

At twelve fifty-six noon.

The master bedroom of the presidential suite at Tokyo Imperial Hotel, as the white light dissipated, Phoenix Academy Maggie stood by the bed, scanning the closed doors and windows of the master bedroom, seemingly returned directly from within this space rather than transforming into light to return.

Still, light could slip through even the tiniest door crack.

She thought about those things, took out her phone from her pocket, and checked the time.

The second round of trials didn't even last three hours.

Will future trials become increasingly shorter?

Phoenix Academy Maggie couldn't ascertain, so she set aside her doubts, calling her mother.

"Maggie, is there something on your mind?"

"Mother, the second round of trials ended earlier than before; the third round starts tomorrow, time unknown."

"How do you feel?"

"I've become much stronger; later I want to practice with Mike, I feel like I can spar with him now."

Phoenix Academy Maggie clenched her fist, her white, tender hand held the density of a beast's muscles, "After I finished the call with you, I faced a mountain-like monster, took over two hours to slay it.

I suspect it was dispatched by the Unicorn to support that person.

Shortly after, we tried to use the Cloud Ascension Decree to locate the Unicorn's whereabouts, but not long after, the trial was declared over, no specific information."

"No need to rush, passing the trial is the best thing you could have done."

Kochou put down the documents in her hand, leaned back, and said with a serious face, "In the second round of trials, we eliminated quite a number of people again.

Out of 155 young people from society, 96 were eliminated immediately, leaving only 59.

Those eliminated still retain the enhanced physical abilities from the first round of trials; three of them belong to us.

I've already arranged for them and they might be useful in the future.

The remaining 59, it's estimated, will find it difficult to pass the third round of trials."

Although the third round hasn't started yet, Kochou somewhat understands that there is a high probability that all the remaining 59 will be eliminated.

The reason is simple, their mentality is different from that of college students and high school students. Once they step out of school and experience societal pressure, their spirits quickly get worn down.

Therefore, regarding eliminations, they easily become worried about gains and losses, unlike college or high school students who feel powerful and chosen just by passing the trials.

That seemingly childish mindset is actually beneficial, allowing them to withstand pressure and maximize their potentials to pass the trials.

Data doesn't lie.

Out of the remaining 600 high school students, only 39 were eliminated, and among 444 college students, 57 were eliminated.

These young people with ambition are better suited for such large-scale elimination trials and have a better chance of lasting till the end.

Of course, to avoid affecting their mentality, Kochou made arrangements for those who failed to leave the Tokyo Imperial Hotel early.

She continued chatting with Phoenix Academy Maggie for a while, instructing her to conduct a physical test on the second-round passers, then hung up and returned to her political duties.

Phoenix Academy Maggie made a call to have food delivered to the hotel, and then messaged Mike to come to the presidential suite.

She wanted to spar with him.

...

Ding dong.

Mike pressed the doorbell and shouted inside, "Miss, what did you need me for?"

"Come in."

Upon being permitted, Mike turned the doorknob, revealing an interior decorated in grandeur, with every detail exuding nobility and elegance.

Mike thought to himself how nice it is to be wealthy. He took off his shoes, placed them on the shoe rack, put on slippers, and walked forward.

Reaching the living room, the exquisite furnishings had been moved to the corners, leaving the space open and empty.

Phoenix Academy Maggie had changed her clothes, wearing a sports bra and a golden short-sleeve T-shirt with a roaring lion graphic. Her golden hair was tied in a single ponytail without any hair left at the temples.

Below, she wore loose golden sports pants.

Her fair feet were barefoot on the floor, and she stretched her arms, motioning Mike over: "Mike, let's spar."

"It's terrifying, just two days and already this far?"

Mike commented.

As Phoenix Academy Maggie's bodyguard, he was naturally aware of the trials in Alaska State and the bodily enhancements after the trial.

He had expected that the Miss might surpass him someday, but didn't expect it to be so soon, on just the second day after so many years of effort.

The thought of it was really discouraging.

Phoenix Academy Maggie smiled and said, "Don't hold back, attack me with your full strength."

"As you command."

Mike loosened his shoulders, jumped in place, first relaxing his muscles and then entering a combat-ready state.

He was curious to see how strong Phoenix Academy Maggie became after two rounds of trials.

"Here I come, Miss." Mike pushed off the ground, his muscles coiling like a tightly wound spring ready to unleash, his body accelerating explosively.

With a swoosh, he rushed in front of Phoenix Academy Maggie, launching a right straight punch as swift as lightning towards her face.

Phoenix Academy Maggie stepped back, swinging her right leg towards Mike's waist.

At such a distance, Mike seemed like he wore skates, swiftly moving to Phoenix Academy Maggie's side with nimbleness.

At that moment, Mike seemed to have thrown three punches.

Phoenix Academy Maggie stomped with one foot, the floor fragmented and sent fragments flying upwards due to the force.

Her entire body leveraged the rebound force, leaping five steps back, just realizing that Mike hadn't struck; it was merely a feint.

As she landed, Mike rushed forward like a whirlwind.

This time it was a genuine attack. His fists slashed through the air in streaks like a sudden storm, giving no breathing room.

Phoenix Academy Maggie had no opportunity to counterattack, hastily using her arms to block.

Each punch landed with a heavy force on her arms, yet didn't make her retreat.

After a series of relentless strikes, Mike retreated, smiled, and said, "Miss, maybe we should stop here."

Phoenix Academy Maggie shook her sore arms, her face as delicate as a porcelain doll was full of fighting spirit, smiling, "Do you think I can't afford to lose?."

"However, my body's strength is no longer inferior to yours, what's lacking now is experience, let's continue sparring."

Oh no, am I going to be out of a job today?

Mike felt bitter but had to brace himself to deal with her.

He was well aware that in terms of strength, he was already outmatched by the Miss.
