Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 778 - 776: Shouko Is Still the Most Obedient Underclassman

October 5th, Thursday.

The sky was not yet bright, but breakfast at the Hojo family was already prepared.

Hojo Shouko stood by the table, the Heavenly Lock drilling outward from the golden plate.

She still wasn't sure how far the Heavenly Lock could extend, but so far, she hadn't reached its limit.

Perhaps it was because she seldom engaged in battles.

Hojo Shouko pulled out a chair.

The Heavenly Lock knocked on the family members' doors.

Soon, she heard a clanking sound in her ear, like metal touching the floor, she glanced up.

A man completely clad in silver-white armor, with a cape on his back, appeared in front of her.

Hojo Shouko blinked, realizing who this person was, "Brother?"

"This is my Noble Phantasm, Evil Spirit Entwine! Isn't it cool?"

Hojo Tetsuji immediately struck a bodybuilder's pose, his cheeks under the mask full of pride, "When I get to school, I want Little Sayuri to see my heroic demeanor!"

At this point, Hojo Tetsuji was already imagining Little Sayuri's admiring gaze and praising tone.

"Haha!"

He showed a rather silly smile, the hard armor seemed to become soft.

He twisted his waist.

Hojo Shouko didn't pay attention to his overly immersed fantasy-induced inappropriate behavior, she merely thought to herself whether Aozawa-senpai had obtained a Noble Phantasm.

Now, most people in Japan participating in the four trials had already obtained Noble Phantasms.

Aozawa-senpai shouldn't be an exception, right?

She pondered this, deciding to send a message to ask Aozawa-senpai later.

But if Aozawa-senpai hadn't obtained a Noble Phantasm, would her inquiry bring him some pressure?

Hojo Shouko thought for a moment, feeling she should not ask recklessly, patiently waiting for the right time to meet Aozawa-senpai.

If he didn't show off a Noble Phantasm, then it would indicate that he hadn't obtained one.

...

Finished with breakfast.

Hojo Tetsuji dashed out of the house, eager to fly to school.

Hojo Shouko wasn't in such a hurry; she carried her backpack and walked toward school at a normal pace.

The cool morning breeze blew, her short skirt fluttered like a lake touched by the wind, stirring waves.

The thin black silk wrapped around her legs, shielding them from the cool autumn breeze.

She tucked the wind-blown hair behind her ears, the street scene suddenly felt like stepping into an anime street scene.

Combining with people at the intersection, it became more dreamy.

A Lamborghini parked beside the street, the door leaning against a tall beauty, black long hair, skin like porcelain, her eyes looking at Hojo Shouko, raising her hand, "Good morning, Shouko."

"Good morning, Miss Morimoto."

Hojo Shouko bowed, curious, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Hmm, didn't you say yesterday you heard a voice calling you to go to London?"

"Yeah."

Hojo Shouko nodded.

During yesterday's lunch break, she heard a deep voice, "Is there a problem?"

Morimoto Chiyoda hesitated for a moment, shrugged, "The Holy Grail that fulfills all wishes actually exists."

Hojo Shouko's eyes flashed with surprise, "Is something like that possible?

After a pause, she thoughtfully said, "No, given Noble Phantasms exist, a Holy Grail that fulfills all wishes isn't surprising either."

Morimoto Chiyoda crossed her arms, "Do you want to participate in the Holy Grail War this time?"

Actually, she's quite conflicted, unsure whether Hojo Shouko should go to London to participate in the Holy Grail battle.

Without thinking, Hojo Shouko nodded, "Of course, I'm willing, I also have wishes I want to fulfill."

So that's how it is...

Morimoto Chiyoda was silent for a moment, then asked, "The wish you want to fulfill, is it related to Aozawa?"

Hojo Shouko thought for a moment and replied, "Miss Morimoto, why do you ask?"

Morimoto Chiyoda stared at her. Outwardly, she seemed obedient and gentle, fitting the image of a neighbor's little sister admired by men.

But people like this, within, have a greater chance of causing trouble unintentionally.

"I just think there's something unusual between you and Aozawa."

"Miss Morimoto, I'm just a junior to my senpai, a good friend's little sister, that's all."

No direct answer?

Morimoto Chiyoda sighed inwardly, almost certain Hojo Shouko had ideas about Aozawa.

Such a headache, if this girl gets the Holy Grail, who knows what wishes she'd make.

Why was Hojo Shouko chosen?

She would prefer the one chosen to be the young lady.

From what Morimoto Chiyoda knows of the young lady, she wouldn't use the Holy Grail to monopolize Aozawa.

The young lady's pride wouldn't allow her to do such a thing.

Hojo Shouko, however, is harder to read, her personality is so reserved that even Morimoto Chiyoda's insight can't grasp the thoughts of someone like a closed gourd.

"If you actually don't want to go, it's okay."

"No, please make arrangements for me to go to London immediately."

Hojo Shouko thinks that in the face of the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes, attending school can be postponed.

She remembers something else, adding, "Wait, don't rush yet, I want to deliver lunch to Aozawa-senpai first."

Morimoto Chiyoda looked at Hojo Shouko.

From the first meeting, she discovered this person has an incredibly stable mindset.

When participating in the trial in Alaska State, her expression and mindset remained composed, as calm as attending school, reading, and drinking water.

It is the same now.

It seems her daily life has long been accustomed to encountering various unexpected events, incorporating them seamlessly.

Morimoto Chiyoda inwardly hoped this girl wouldn't win the Holy Grail.

"If you feel pressured, then withdraw promptly."

"It's okay, although I don't like fighting, if it comes down to a battle, the Heavenly Lock won't lose to others."

Hojo Shouko responded to her concern with a gentle voice.

She must get that Holy Grail!

...

In the club building, on the second-floor kendo club, Aozawa wasn't sweating alongside other club members in youthful vigor; he could sense Hojo Shouko's Defense Barrier approaching the kendo department.

A second later, the door to the kendo club opened.

Hojo Shouko appeared at the entrance.

Some club members instinctively glanced over there, Aozawa promptly shouted: "Everyone, train seriously!"

"Hey!"

The distracted people hurriedly replied.

Aozawa stepped out of the club activity room door, and casually closed it, saying, "Shouko, what brings you here?"

Hojo Shouko handed her lunchbox forward, saying: "Aozawa-senpai, I have some matters to take care of.

This is today's lunchbox.

Tomorrow, you'll need to prepare lunch yourself.

Sorry, I might not return for a few days."

Aozawa understood why she was leaving, took the lunchbox and asked, "Did something happen?"

"The Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes truly exists, I want to go to London to win it."

Hojo Shouko expressed her thoughts, glanced at Aozawa again, and smiled: "Miss Morimoto is still waiting for me, so let's skip the chit-chat, goodbye."

"Mm."

Aozawa nodded, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind, why does it feel like Shouko is eager to obtain the Holy Grail?

Although the Holy Grail sounds very enticing, he thought Shouko wouldn't be interested in such things.

But from the looks of it, Hojo Shouko is completely enthusiastic, what kind of wish does she want to fulfill with the Holy Grail?

Aozawa was curious, just hoping it's not too outrageous a wish.

He didn't choose Maggie, Chitose, Iroha, or the class leader, because he wasn't sure what wish they wanted to fulfill.

Aozawa originally thought he could be certain about Hojo Shouko's wish.

Judging by her expression, it seems that he miscalculated.

Women's hearts are truly hard to fathom.

...

Hojo Shouko didn't forget to greet Natsuka Yanagimachi and then returned in front of Morimoto Chiyoda, sitting in the passenger seat.

The engine emitted a pleasant sound as the Lamborghini headed to Haneda International Airport.

On the road, Morimoto Chiyoda attempted to probe Hojo Shouko about what wish she might make should she win the Holy Grail, but not a single word was returned.

Hojo Shouko was truly too silent, letting Morimoto Chiyoda speak endlessly.

She remained speechless, pondering her inner questions.

She was used to this silent posture, her facial expression showed no fluctuation, like a stagnant pool.

Causing Morimoto Chiyoda to feel a prickly sensation of water thrown onto a tough surface.

If Hojo Shouko just replied a few times, Morimoto Chiyoda could infer what was on her mind from her answers, instead of the current situation.

She had no way to discern if Hojo Shouko's wish after winning the Holy Grail was directly taking Aozawa or choosing another method.

This uncertainty made Morimoto Chiyoda somewhat agitated, even missing Phoenix Academy Maggie.

That young lady was indeed tricky, adept at hiding her expressions, yet her heart held pride.

She always responded to her provocations.

Morimoto Chiyoda wasn't afraid of others thinking things over with her, she was wary of such silent gourds, somewhat like an old master encountering a disrespectful youth, who says nothing but throws a wild punch.

All the way to the airport.

Morimoto Chiyoda parked the car and said: "Here are your passport and ticket."

"Thank you."

Hojo Shouko bowed as she took the ticket and passport from her hand.

Morimoto Chiyoda teased: "Not easy, you've finally replied to me."

"Sorry, Miss Morimoto, I was just thinking about something."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Sorry, it's a personal matter."

Hojo Shouko shook her head and didn't answer, merely opened the car door to head towards Haneda International Airport.

Morimoto Chiyoda sighed softly.

Perhaps it is the power of the Holy Grail affecting London, causing the present London to not allow unchosen Treasure Users to enter.

Otherwise, she would have followed to take a look.

Hey, hopefully, everything will be okay.

Morimoto Chiyoda can only believe this lady is genuinely a well-behaved girl inside and out, rather than outwardly compliant, inwardly ambitious.

Hojo Shouko stepped into the terminal, faced with the flow of people, the hall reverberating with boarding announcements.

Alone, she appeared here, with no fear, only anticipation.

When she secures the Holy Grail and presents it to Aozawa-senpai, he will surely be very happy.

She thought to herself, heading toward the VIP channel.
