Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

Originally, Qin Mu thought that the world he lived in was entirely normal, just an ordinary world. It was only when he found the Decade Drive hidden in his father’s safe and successfully used it to transform into Kamen Rider Decade that he realized this world was far from ordinary.

Although he had mentally prepared himself to some extent, seeing an Orphnoch appear before him was still surprising. After all, these were beings that transcended humans, disguised in human form. Who knew what these creatures were up to?

However, Qin Mu quickly regained his composure. He had Decade Drive, which allowed him to become Kamen Rider Decade. If he was frightened by a Cactus Orphnoch, he would be wasting the power he possessed.

“The things you’re saying might be enticing to others, but for me, it’s a hard pass. Awakening into an Orphnoch isn’t a guaranteed success. More likely, I’d turn into a pile of white sand and disappear completely. Maybe you could use these words to deceive a three-year-old, but not me. You’re just dreaming,” Qin Mu retorted.

“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you. Since you’re not willing to cooperate willingly, I’ll have to use some force. Don’t worry; it’ll only hurt a bit, and it will be over quickly if you just endure it,” the Cactus Orphnoch said in a seductive tone.

After speaking, several spiky protrusions from its chest transformed into tentacle-like extensions and lunged toward Qin Mu, attempting to pierce his body and infuse him with Orphnoch energy.

Qin Mu, with his pupils narrowing, swiftly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the Orphnoch’s attack. Instead, the tentacles pierced through a nearby tree with a diameter of half a meter, effortlessly penetrating it.

If those tentacles had struck Qin Mu, he would have had little chance of survival.

“Damn thing!” Qin Mu muttered, preparing to throw the Decade Rider card into the Decade Drive to transform.

However, at that moment, a girl with a ponytail and strikingly beautiful features emerged. Her most captivating feature was her bright, watery eyes, which outshone any dazzling gem. Around her waist, she wore a black and green Zero-One Driver.

The girl looked at the Cactus Orphnoch with a sense of disappointment and said, “I’ve been watching you for a while, and I didn’t expect you to really be an Orphnoch. You’ve truly let me down.”

“Lin Qianqian? Is that you?” The Cactus Orphnoch turned to look at the girl and immediately recognized her.

“Huh?” Qin Mu hesitated for a moment as he held the Decade Rider card, pausing his actions. He recognized the Zero-One Driver at Lin Qianqian’s waist.

The Zero-One Driver originates from Kamen Rider Zero-One and is developed by Hiden Intelligence. It is accompanied by the Progrise Keys, also developed by Hiden Intelligence. By using different Progrise Keys, one can transform into various forms and unleash different abilities.

The Cactus Orphnoch glanced at Qin Mu and then at Lin Qianqian. At this moment, she had yet to realize that the two individuals before her were not to be trifled with.

“Well, since we’ve been discovered, I might as well take you both down and make you glorious Orphnochs, welcoming you into our ranks!” the Cactus Orphnoch declared with determination.

He wasted no time and sent his two tentacles, one aimed at Qin Mu and the other at Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian stood her ground, not bothering to dodge. She took out her transformation Progrise Key and activated it, placing it in the authorized area of her Zero-One Driver.

“Dash!”

“Authorize!”

Authorization successful.

Roaring, an orange cheetah descended from the sky and positioned itself in front of Lin Qianqian, ready to defend her with a mighty swipe of its claws.

Facing the Cactus Orphnoch’s attacking tentacles, the orange cheetah wasn’t holding back either. It swiped its claws, sending the tentacles flying.

“Progrise!”

“Speedy! Rounder! Rushing! Cheetah!”

“Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust!”

Following that, Lin Qianqian inserted the Progrise Key into the Zero-One Driver and pushed it, initiating her transformation. The orange cheetah radiated light, transforming into various armored components that automatically assembled onto Lin Qianqian’s body.

Lin Qianqian successfully transformed into Kamen Rider Zero-One in Rushing Cheetah form.

In comparison to Lin Qianqian’s flashy transformation, Qing Mu’s transformation was more straightforward. He tossed the card into the Decade Drive, then used one hand to push the base of the Decade Drive closed, completing his transformation.

【KamenRide! Decade!】

Before Qing Mu, a hazy, mirror-like barrier appeared.

The tentacles of the Cactus Orphnoch struck the barrier.

“Boom!”

The entire barrier was shattered in an instant, appearing to be nothing more than a paper tiger.

However, in the next moment, the shattered fragments of the barrier transformed into glass-like blades, automatically slicing the Cactus Orphnoch’s tentacles.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!”

The sound of air being sliced through was heard.

In just a few moments, these sharp fragments cut the Cactus Orphnoch’s tentacles into pieces, which fell to the ground. Then, these fragments automatically reassembled into barcodes and flew onto Qing Mu’s visor, forming a part of Kamen Rider Decade’s armored visor, completing his transformation.

Qing Mu became Kamen Rider Decade.

“You… you… you!”

The Cactus Orphnoch was dumbfounded. She never expected to get involved with two entities she shouldn’t have provoked. Although she didn’t know who these two were, judging by their appearances, their power should be far above her own. Facing just one of them was difficult enough, but confronting both at the same time was a death sentence.

Lin Qianqian was equally surprised. She looked at Qing Mu and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you also a Kamen Rider?” She had originally thought that Qing Mu was an ordinary person with no special powers, but she now realized that he, too, possessed a Kamen Rider Drive and could transform into a Kamen Rider. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have rushed to reveal her identity but would have observed Qing Mu’s combat abilities first, considering his transformation using the Decade Drive was something she had never seen before.
