"Ready?" Ren confidently asked the passengers in the car.
That's right, he bought a car recently.
After extracting the powerful driving skill [God of the Drain (Platinum)] from the system, he thought about buying one and driving it himself.
[God of the Drain (Platinum)] greatly improves stability while driving, increases drifting speed by 50%, and increases the success rate in lanes with drainage ditches by 50%. Ren was also an experienced driver in his previous life. Now that he possesses this skill, he feels tempted.
But, to his surprise, his original body had a driver's license.
This means he doesn't need to retake the driving test in this world.
After renewing his license, Ren bought a fully-loaded luxury car.
However... today he's not driving his own car, but a rented 7-seater van.
Since there's no book signing event in Tokyo, they have to drive.
"Ready..."
For some reason, Ayumi and the others weren't very scared.
But upon hearing Ren's words, they felt a little panicked...
Sakura blinked. She wasn't worried about Ren driving.
After all, she knew very well that Ren would never be the type to cause trouble...
But now, she also had a bad feeling.
"Alright!"
Ren nodded with satisfaction and then stepped on the accelerator. "Ahhhhhh...!"
In an instant, everyone except Ren screamed at the top of their lungs in the speeding machine. On the highway, a driver was driving normally.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow rush out from the side; this completely scared him. "Oh my god! What the hell!"
He looked ahead and saw the black shadow drift quickly around the curve ahead and fly swiftly away.
What a perfect arc!
What speed!
Or a seven-seater SUV? "Oh my god! Drifting!"
The driver was stunned. "What god dares to do this on the highway?".
Even though there are no more traffic jams, it's too cruel to dare to drift without reducing speed!
...
Precisely because of the traffic jam, Ren was in a very good mood and demonstrated his unique skill: drifting without reducing speed! But this scared Sakura and the others a lot!
Drifting at 90 kilometers per hour is terrifying! "Alright, we're here."
Ren completed the reverse with a perfect drift and said to those behind him with satisfaction. "Satisfied!".
Although limited by the car's configuration, and for safety, he still held back a bit to ensure he had everything under control.
But he was already very satisfied!
Indeed, speed and passion, the god of cars on Mount Akina, are the ultimate dream of any man! But... not for a girl! "I'm sorry...".
Ayumi covered her mouth and said, somewhat dazed.
Then she quickly opened the car door... and threw up! After a while, everyone finally recovered.
Ren felt a little embarrassed seeing Ayumi's paleness.
"I'm sorry, Ayumi," he said awkwardly.
"I'm fine..." Ayumi waved her hands quickly, but her face was still a bit pale. "It's just... Next time, sensei, let's just drive...".
She had already decided, next time...
No! In the future!
In the future, she would never get in Amamiya-sensei's car again! No... Next time, they'll probably take Amamiya-sensei's car to go back...
Ayumi's gaze suddenly lit up with despair.
"Is that Amamiya-sensei?"
At that moment, a voice was heard from the side.
It was the staff who had organized the book signing. They had been waiting for a long time.
And they obviously knew what Ren looked like, so they came over to ask.
"Yes, it's me," Ren replied.
Next, it was time for the signing.
But, after all, he had already experienced the previous one, so Ren seemed unusually relaxed.
This time it wasn't organized at a manga exhibition, but in a huge shopping mall.
However, due to the popularity of the Edgerunners animation, there were more Edgerunners cosplays at the signing.
And, obviously, more professional cosplayers joined.
Their costumes and makeup are more professional, and the character cosplays are also more exquisite.
Ren and his friends even saw several David cosplays with abs and pecs, not with lines or muscle suits.
It's real muscle, a truly perfect cosplay.
Even the Adam Smasher cosplay looks quite professional, with a height of 1.9 meters. Even with the height-increasing pad, it's not as good as the real Adam Smasher.
However, his costume and props are obviously more perfect.
However, Adam Smasher collaborated with the David and Lucy cosplays and began the performance of "Now is Fantasy Time".
After Ren's arrival, the autograph session was also ready to begin.
At first, it was a normal interview and interactive session, similar to the previous one.
Ren collaborated to complete the session as agreed.
In the end, the host smiled and asked Ren, as had been agreed: "Amamiya-sensei, let me ask you at the end: do you have any other hobbies?".
"Hobbies?".
Ren was prepared for this question and replied, "I play stone skipping... In fact, I'm very good. I can do more than 20 skips at once!".
Faced with Ren's answer, the host was stunned for a moment.
But the fans in the audience were obviously excited.
"Twenty skipping stones!"
"Oh my god! Really? Does Amamiya-sensei also have this skill?"
"My best skip is seventeen stones at once, and Ren said he could skip twenty at once?!".
"Is that a lie? Ren has nowhere to show it now." Ren also thought about it and said, "How about this? I'll record a video for everyone later, when I have time! For now...".
"I'll show you all!".
He went straight to the front of the stage and looked at the fans in the audience.
"Come on! Ignore them!".
In one fell swoop, Ren did... a backflip on the spot in front of everyone.
The fluidity was amazing. It's not a skill extracted from the system, but Ren can do it himself. He did a backflip on the spot, and everyone present couldn't...
How could he suddenly do a backflip...? But it worked!
"Good!".
Someone shouted, and suddenly, all the fans present applauded...
