Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

Seeing this scene, Qing Mu felt a sense of impending disaster.

“Oh no! It’s a commercial street below! If this Worm falls like this, it will kill many people!”

To prevent a tragedy, Qing Mu rushed up at top speed, leaping out of the window.

At the same time, he took out the ultimate AttackRide card and inserted it into Decade Drive.

【Final! AttackRide! F-F-F-Faiz!】

Kamen Rider Faiz’s iconic finishing move, the Deep Crimson Drill, was activated.

A red energy cone locked onto Flea Worm suspended in mid-air.

Qing Mu extended his right leg, delivering a Rider Kick squarely at the target – Flea Worm.

Kamen Rider Faiz Accel Form pushed Qing Mu’s speed to its limits.

A brilliant red light tore through the night sky.

“Boom, rumble, rumble, rumble!”

Flea Worm was obliterated by Qing Mu’s Deep Crimson Drill kick.

In the night sky, it transformed into a dazzling display of fireworks.

【Initial mission progress, 24/30.】

“Huh? Someone set off fireworks?”

“Who’s so bold as to set off fireworks and firecrackers here on the commercial street? Are they looking to die?”

“Don’t they know that setting off fireworks and firecrackers is prohibited now? They’ll probably be fined to death.”

“These fireworks, why do they look so much like explosions?”

“Fireworks are inherently explosive events. What’s there to be surprised about?”

“True.”

“Did something just fly by?”

“Are you seeing things?”

“So beautiful.”

“I got quite a scare; I thought it was a terrorist attack.”

…”

The people on the street still had no idea what had just happened, thinking that someone had recklessly set off fireworks and firecrackers on the commercial street.”

Unbeknownst to them, a ruthless Worm monster had been effortlessly taken down by Qing Mu.

At this moment, Qing Mu stood on the rooftop of the opposite building, silently observing everything.

The accelerated state had been deactivated.

Qing Mu had reverted to the basic form of Kamen Rider Faiz.

“While Kamen Rider Faiz’s Accel Form can barely keep up with the Worm’s acceleration, it’s only for a short ten seconds. It’s not enough. At most, I can handle a few Worms with it. If there are more, it might become overwhelming. It seems I need to find a way to obtain the power of the Kabuto-type Riders or the veteran Riders as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won’t be safe.”

The burden on the body from Faiz Accel Form was substantial.

Decade Drive couldn’t eliminate this side effect.

At best, it only helped Qing Mu’s body recover a bit faster.

This limited power was, in the end, unsatisfying to use.

“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…”

Suddenly, Qing Mu’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Lin Qianqian.

He answered the call.

“Qing Mu, where are you? I just heard a big explosion. Did you hear it?”

“It was caused by my battle. I encountered an adult Worm in the restroom and took care of it. The commotion was a bit loud. I assume you guys can handle the aftermath?”

“What? You took down an adult Worm? You still have the ability to deal with Worms? But last time when you fought with Brother Wan Sheng, you clearly couldn’t use accelerated abilities!”

In Lin Qianqian’s understanding, to deal with adult Worms, which had the ability to accelerate, one needed to have a matching speed. When Qing Mu faced Wan Sheng’s Accel Form last time, he had to rely on his invisibility ability to barely hold his own. Now, he could single-handedly eliminate an adult Worm, which left Lin Qianqian both astonished and unable to comprehend.

Qing Mu smiled and replied, “Is it possible that I copied Wan Sheng’s Accel Form along with it?”

“What! You copied Brother Wan Sheng’s Accel Form too? So, you defeated the adult Worm just now using Kamen Rider Faiz’s Accel Form?”

Lin Qianqian was almost in shock. She wasn’t surprised that Wan Sheng had used the Accel Form’s abilities to defeat adult Worms in the past. What truly surprised her was that Qing Mu not only copied Kamen Rider Faiz’s power but also managed to replicate the upgraded form’s abilities. That was quite unbelievable.

“Doesn’t this mean that Qing Mu can one hundred percent replicate the powers of other Riders?”

She didn’t know that Qing Mu’s replication wasn’t merely copying; it also enhanced his abilities, making him even more powerful than the original.

“Well, I have to thank you. Otherwise, I might not have this power. Hahaha.”

Qing Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

This was the joy of hacking.

Making the victim watch someone else use their own power more skillfully and effectively than they ever could.

The painful, bitter jealousy that ensues is something most people can’t comprehend.

“Well… goodbye.”

Lin Qianqian hung up the phone in frustration.

She couldn’t help but feel guilty for getting Wan Sheng into this situation.

Qing Mu deactivated his transformation.

He returned to the restaurant in the opposite building.

This round trip took nearly half an hour.

Tian Mi, carefree as ever, spoke without filters, “Qing Mu, where did you go? Constipated? Does it take that long to use the restroom?”

Qing Mu quickly fabricated a reason, “I ran into someone I know in the restroom and had a little chat. I’m sorry for making you all wait.”

Listening to Qing Mu’s explanation, Lin Qianqian’s expression became somewhat strange.

‘In the time it takes you to use the restroom, you casually take down a troublesome adult Worm, and compared to you, the entire Yancheng Defense Base seems dull and useless. Are you polite?’

Unfortunately, Lin Qianqian couldn’t voice these thoughts and had to keep them to herself.

Li Ling’er noticed sweat stains on Qing Mu’s clothes and curiously asked, “Was it really hot in the restroom? You seem to be sweating a lot.”

Accel Form imposed a heavy burden on the body, and users would expend more energy than usual during battles. Naturally, Qing Mu’s clothes would be soaked.

He didn’t expect Li Ling’er to be so observant, noticing even this detail.

Luckily, Qing Mu had a quick mind and immediately came up with another excuse, “The air conditioning in the men’s restroom seemed to be broken, so it was a bit hot. It’s fine, I just need some fresh air. Don’t worry.”

Li Ling’er didn’t doubt him and continued, “Alright then, let’s go. We’ve finished eating, and we’ve rested enough. It’s time to watch a movie.”

“You guys go ahead. I suddenly have something to take care of and can’t join you for the movie. Have fun,” Lin Qianqian said. She needed to stay behind to handle the aftermath of the recent incident, waiting for others to arrive before she could leave.

Although Qing Mu had tried to control the destructive force during the battle with Flea Worm, it was inevitable that there would be some damage caused.

Lin Qianqian had to stay behind to deal with the cleanup and compensation work.

Fortunately, this money wouldn’t come from Yancheng Defense Base itself; it would be covered by the city’s finances. Otherwise, the annual compensation alone would bankrupt the Yancheng Defense Base.
