Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Experience of Transforming into a Bird of Prey (Seeking Follow-up Readers to Rush to Sanjiang)_1
The eagle soars through the heavens.
At last, Aozawa understood the meaning of that phrase. Spreading his wings against the night breeze, he soared unrestrainedly over Tokyo.
He realized that whatever animal he transformed into, he would possess that animal’s strength and abilities.
However, transforming into anime characters didn’t grant him their respective powers.
For example, when he transformed into Tsunade, he didn’t have Chakra in his body.
Transforming into Mogi Kenpachi also didn’t give him Spiritual Pressure.
Only by transforming into animals could he gain their strength and abilities.
The specific reasons were unclear to Aozawa, and he didn’t believe he could figure them out.
He was immersed in the joy of soaring through the sky. This was a wish countless people dreamt of, and now, he had realized it.
The sound of the wind rushing past his ears was deafening. The cityscape sped by rapidly below.
Aozawa had transformed into a Black Kite. Its upper feathers were dark brown, and its underparts were brownish with dark brown shaft streaks. Its long, forked tail featured alternating horizontal bands of black and brown of equal width, marking it as a medium-sized bird of prey.
Its speed exceeded eighty kilometers per hour. He had searched Wikipedia for the maximum speed of a Black Kite but found no specific data—only that it was above eighty kilometers per hour. The actual speed was indeed incredibly fast.
As Aozawa soared through the sky, Tokyo’s neon-lit skyscrapers, low-rise buildings, streets, and crowds—even the cars speeding along the roads—all seemed to move with exceeding slowness below him. This was because cars on the streets couldn’t reach speeds over eighty kilometers per hour.
The night breeze was exhilarating, and Aozawa also found that he didn’t tire. Perhaps it was due to the Black Kite’s endurance.
He swept over the neon-adorned city and arrived above a large swath of low-rise buildings. Judging by the size of these buildings, it appeared to be a wealthy district of Tokyo. Ordinary people couldn’t afford to live in places with such extensive grounds.
Aozawa’s vision was now excellent. Even from an altitude of three to four hundred meters, he could still see the ground clearly.
His gaze swept over several mansions. Between the corridors linking two houses, he spotted a familiar figure. With her shining golden hair and skin as white as porcelain, it was unmistakably Phoenix Academy Maggie.
No wonder the houses below seemed absurdly large, Aozawa mused. It’s the young mistress’s home. He didn’t continue to linger in the air but instead dived downwards.
The Black Kite’s diving speed was extremely fast. The distance of three to four hundred meters seemed almost non-existent. freewёbnoνel.com
The unusual whoosh of wind alerted the accompanying Butler Miwa that something was amiss. Having previously served as a mercenary abroad, he reacted with lightning speed, immediately shouting, "Young Mistress, be careful!"
He instinctively moved to shield Phoenix Academy Maggie, but she pushed him away, yelling, "It’s fine! It’s just a beast!"
The girl’s eyes widened. In both the animal kingdom and human society, an imposing presence always played a crucial role. She refused to submit to the Black Kite. Raising her right hand, she attempted to compel it to submit with her gaze.
Of course, Aozawa had no intention of attacking her. His dive slowed abruptly, and he landed on her arm, his claws gripping carefully to avoid harming Phoenix Academy Maggie’s delicate skin.
"What a splendid eagle!" the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed man beside her exclaimed loudly. "Taming such a proud bird is no easy task."
"Mr. Jack, we at Phoenix Academy do not keep Black Kites," Butler Miwa explained to their CIA guest.
A hint of surprise touched Jack’s face. "You’re not joking with me, are you? Black Kites are very haughty. They won’t get close to humans unless they’re raised from a very young age."
"Was my anxious reaction earlier a joke?" Butler Miwa’s counter-question left Jack silent.
He looked towards the corridor. The delicately featured young woman stood there with the Black Kite perched on her right hand—the combination of beauty and a bird of prey offered a powerfully striking visual.
A look of admiration crossed Jack’s face. Kochou’s daughter is indeed filled with an enchanting charm, he thought. In Christian belief, when wild beasts mysteriously draw near a person, it signifies that the individual is favored by God and entrusted with a great mission. This young woman’s future is bound to be extraordinary.
Phoenix Academy Maggie, though internally beaming, maintained a calm expression. "I appreciate your compliment, Mr. Jack, but I’m sure you didn’t come here just to say that, right?" She seized the opportunity to take control of the conversation, shifting out of the passive state of being questioned.
Jack smiled. "Please don’t worry. I’m just conducting a routine inquiry; we harbor no suspicions towards Phoenix Academy. It’s just that, if we investigate others but not Phoenix Academy, it could lead to unwelcome gossip."
Phoenix Academy Maggie tilted her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Then, what questions do you have for us?"
Jack waved his hand. "None at all. The CIA has absolute faith in Phoenix Academy’s integrity. I’m merely here to have a cup of tea, sit for a bit, and then I’ll be on my way."
"In that case, we must thank the CIA for their trust in us." A polite smile touched Phoenix Academy Maggie’s lips, masking the distance she felt.
She knew perfectly well that whatever the CIA claimed about ’absolute trust’ was a lie, she thought. They would undoubtedly investigate Antares Heavy Industries covertly. But neither she nor her mother could prevent the CIA’s investigation; doing so would only make them appear guilty. As long as it wasn’t too excessive, Phoenix Academy would have to swallow its pride and endure it. Businesspeople prioritize harmony for prosperity. Hotheads who insist on fighting to the bitter end over pride never make successful entrepreneurs.
Stepping forward, Butler Miwa, on behalf of the young mistress, adopted a humble demeanor. With a broad smile, he said, "Mr. Jack, it’s still early. We’ve prepared some fine liquor for your enjoyment."
"In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony," Jack replied with a smile.
Watching the three converse, Aozawa felt that the young mistress truly didn’t have it easy, living every day in a world where one couldn’t speak the truth.
Wait a minute—time! The thought struck Aozawa, and he jolted. He had been so engrossed in the exhilarating flight that he’d completely forgotten Chitose had a curfew. If he didn’t return soon, he would likely face Chitose’s wrath. The mere thought of Chitose’s angry face was enough to rob Aozawa of any desire to remain perched on Phoenix Academy Maggie’s arm.
He abruptly spread his wings and launched himself into the air, swift as an arrow loosed by Hou Yi, darting into the night sky. He vanished into the vast darkness almost before Phoenix Academy Maggie had time to react or call out.
Phoenix Academy Maggie tilted her head up, her lips parting as if to speak, but then she closed them again without uttering a sound. Eagles are born free, she mused, meant to soar in the heavens, not to be confined in a narrow cage. If it wishes to leave, then let it go.
Phoenix Academy Maggie lowered her gaze and offered a smile. "My apologies, I was a little distracted."
"Not at all," Jack said, shaking his head, not a hint of reproach in his thoughts. If he had encountered such a miraculous event, he wouldn’t be paying attention to a guest either, Jack considered. He’d be wondering what great mission God had intended for him.
「Adachi District.」
The park’s streetlights flickered, casting the woods in dim, shifting light.
From the deep blue night sky, the Black Kite suddenly swooped down. Once within the woods, it swiftly transformed back into a human.
Aozawa brushed aside fallen leaves and retrieved his cellphone from underneath. A glance at the screen showed it was already nine o’clock!
He pocketed the phone and broke into a run towards Ayase Apartment.
