Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 706 - 704: A Gentleman May Be Deceived by His Own Methods
Ring, ring, ring.
The alarm set on the phone on the bedside table rings.
Consciousness surges from darkness to the surface of her mind, as Morimoto Chiyoda gasps for air, slides her hand across the phone screen to stop the alarm, and skillfully pushes the head resting on her chest aside, turning sideways intending to get up.
A pair of arms wraps around her waist.
Aozawa, his cheek pressed against her back, coaxes, "Chiyoda, wouldn't it be nice to keep fighting the good fight with me?
You don't have to get up so urgently."
The warmth from his words blows entirely over her frost-covered back.
The intense floral scent becomes unnoticeable once you're used to it.
Morimoto Chiyoda notices the change in the young man's body, pinches it with annoyance, "Behave yourself, let go!"
The charming voice made even the reprimand seem uniquely enticing, Aozawa released her without holding on.
Morimoto Chiyoda gets up and leaves the large bed, and beneath were torn plastic bags, evidence of last night's madness.
With a plastic bag over her face, tightened by Aozawa, air is sucked out, and she suffocates, repeatedly.
Just before she suffocates, the plastic bag is suddenly torn away, her body's instinct makes her gulp outside air, chased by Aozawa swiftly coming back behind.
At that time, she almost lost her soul.
The near-literal sense of almost ascending to heaven.
The cost is that even with her current physical condition, she still feels sore in the waist and back.
Can't hold him down, can't subdue the dragon with all her might.
She moves her body, exits the hotel's master bedroom, goes to the bathroom to clean up, brushes her teeth and washes her face, and uses the hairdryer to dry her hair.
On returning to the master bedroom, Morimoto Chiyoda smells that peculiar scent, quickly waves the air in front of her nose, and turns on the ventilation system.
She doesn't plan to make breakfast herself, directly orders hotel staff to bring it up.
"Stop sleeping, get dressed and up."
"Okay."
Aozawa answers lazily, heading to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Morimoto Chiyoda sits on the living room sofa, calls the hotel staff for food delivery.
She crosses her legs, unlocks her phone, checks the messages Jack sent last night.
The plan failed.
She isn't too surprised by this, but the following message explains the president's new plan.
Morimoto Chiyoda looks at it, her expression shifts slightly, she quickly exits the app, and opens TikTok.
As expected, the suggested videos are from Tokyo University leading, six universities' students collectively protesting against the Prime Minister, accusing her of disregarding world safety for personal gain.
"The world is facing a crisis, yet at this time, the Prime Minister only wants her daughter to join the Qionghua Sect, is this what a responsible prime minister should do?"
"We must eliminate the Unicorn as soon as possible."
"How can one be so selfish?"
"How will our citizens' rights be protected?"
Seeing the interviewed students, their expressions full of anger, showing a posture to resist the national traitor to the end.
Morimoto Chiyoda sighs.
Having such passion at this age is a good thing, but lacking calm thinking, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, makes it easy to be used by others.
She browses through several videos in succession, many students post such videos, fueled by the CIA.
Things have become so big.
What decision will Phoenix Academy Maggie make?
Morimoto Chiyoda smiles, already guessing the decision of that young lady.
That is the strong cornerstone of the young lady, but also an easily exploited weakness.
The sage says, a gentleman can be deceived by their square, but not by what is not their way.
...
"Foolish!"
At the Imperial Palace, in the North Wing of Honmaru Palace, Kochou, usually calm, reveals undisguised anger for the first time.
Her eyes widen, like a lion wanting to devour someone, "I've always taught you, just a little provocation and you declare you want to establish a Unicorn Combat Squad?"
Her anger causes Kochou's chest to heave uncontrollably.
She stares at her daughter standing before her, a hint of disappointment flashes in her eyes.
Kochou truly didn't expect that, despite such an obvious provocation, her daughter would still fall for it.
Phoenix Academy Maggie lowers her head, knowing that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes, aiming to prompt the creation of the Unicorn Combat Squad.
Yet she still wants to use their scheme to achieve her goals.
Phoenix Academy Maggie hopes to eliminate the Unicorn early, to prevent the Dread Emperor from descending into this world.
Under these conditions, Phoenix Academy Maggie considers sacrificing herself.
Calculating everything only makes one a clever pig.
The fourth trial is about to begin!
Under such circumstances, if countries do not unite, continuing to play tricks, they will become lambs waiting for slaughter.
Of course, this excuse she couldn't explain to her mother, so she uses a gentle excuse, "Mother, do you think this trial simply means to survive till the end?"
Kochou takes a deep breath, expressionless, "What do you mean by this?"
"Xuanxiao says the trial ends by eliminating the Demons, how can we eliminate them without killing the Unicorn?
The Shadow Emperor also wants to kill the Unicorn, so our only way to pass the trial is to slay the Unicorn, not by acquiring magical treasures.
I know this move is a bit risky, but it's this risky move that keeps others from guessing my true intentions."
Phoenix Academy Maggie fabricated a set of reasons.
She wasn't afraid of failing to convince her mother.
Because such a possibility also exists.
After all, the trial's passing condition is to kill the demon.
It's just that everyone has been blinded by the magical treasure.
Kochou frowned slightly and said, "Even so, you should have informed me beforehand, instead of agreeing without discussing anything."
Phoenix Academy Maggie said solemnly, "Mother, when one is away, commands cannot always be followed.
You said that someone who only follows orders cannot be a good leader, sometimes risks need to be taken."
"Alright, I suppose. Let it be as it is, you will lead this matter, proceed."
"Yes."
Phoenix Academy Maggie bowed, understanding that her mother didn't believe her, but didn't continue to scold her, so the purpose was achieved. She turned around and left the office.
Kochou pursed her lips, naturally not believing the words of her daughter, which were merely justifications for her actions.
She knew her daughter's personality too well, and felt helpless about Nett's strategy.
The plan wasn't particularly clever, but it precisely grasped people's hearts.
Because this strategy wasn't designed to deal with Kochou, but specifically for Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Kochou rubbed her temples, not believing that relying solely on Phoenix Academy Maggie's persuasion, those people would be willing to participate in the Unicorn expedition.
She must talk with other countries.
Every country must contribute people to assist.
...
Tokyo Imperial Hotel, lobby.
Phoenix Academy Maggie walked through the glass doors and saw the gathered trial participants there.
"Let's just say it like this."
She ended her conversation with Morimoto Chiyoda, put her phone in her pocket, and hadn't started speaking yet.
A wheat-skinned girl ran up to her, hugged her excitedly, "Maggie, what you said was truly inspiring.
We will defeat the Unicorn and save the world!
That moment of raising our arms in rallying cry was so cool, just like the protagonist in a movie."
Her large eyes glimmered with admiration.
Phoenix Academy Maggie patted Ayatsuki Ayaka's head, somewhat helplessly said, "Alright, don't hug so tightly."
She turned to the trial participants in front of her, "You've likely understood the specifics through short videos.
If the Unicorn isn't eliminated, the Dread Emperor will descend, which isn't good for the world.
The U.S. Air Force will hover in the sky over Alaska State at all times, as long as we launch signal flares, we just need to stay put, and helicopters will gather us together.
Upon spotting the Unicorn's whereabouts, we will swiftly proceed there to besiege the Unicorn, this is entirely voluntary."
"I am willing to join."
Arakawa Reina stepped forward, expressing her support for the young lady, hoping to bridge the gap between them.
Ayatsuki Ayaka, still hugging Phoenix Academy Maggie, smiled, "I want to join too, to save the world!"
"Me too!" "I want to teach the Unicorn a lesson!"
The on-site youths, university students, all became fervent, seemingly eager to battle the Unicorn for hundreds of rounds on the spot.
Ayatsuki Ayaka beamed, "That's great, Maggie."
"Hmm."
Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded, knowing that while people seemed fervent, how many would truly volunteer for the Unicorn expedition once the trial began?
Hard to say.
She knew full well that when personal interests are involved, no one would act foolishly.
If even a tenth of those present stay, it would be considered fortunate.
She wasn't pinning her hopes on them here, but rather hoping that by leading, individuals from other countries with similar intentions would join this action.
They are the real backbone, not these people in front of her.
On her way back to the hotel, the conversation with Morimoto Chiyoda was about this matter.
Of course, she wasn't too indifferent towards these people, still trying to win them over, attempting to gather more individuals to participate in this action, it would never be a loss.
...
Signal flares were distributed one by one, the time reached ten in the morning.
A familiar white light emerged, and in an instant, Phoenix Academy Maggie disappeared from the lobby and found herself in a mountain pass.
No teammates were beside her, only herself.
Lead clouds shrouded overhead.
Looking ahead, a vast barren land unfolded, and Phoenix Academy Maggie took out a signal flare aiming at the sky and launched it.
Bang, a trace of black signals flew upward, like a wolf smoke staining the leaden sky.
Phoenix Academy Maggie appeared contemplative, why was there not a single teammate by her side in the fourth round of the trial?
Without much time to think, a military helicopter already appeared on the distant horizon, approaching here.
She came back to her senses, the Whirlwind Ring on her right hand emitted a glow, invisible wind swirled around her, lifting her body to actively meet the military helicopter.
How many people would gather at Eielson Air Force Base?
Phoenix Academy Maggie felt uncertain, yet believed there must be familiar faces among them.
Although unhappy, Morimoto Chiyoda definitely shared the same thoughts in this regard.
