Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

“Swoosh!”

Attache Calibur was positioned at Lin Qianqian’s neck.

Lin Qianqian had never imagined that one day her own weapon would be used against her.

“I advise you not to move. Swords have no eyes.”

Just as Lin Qianqian was contemplating a desperate struggle, Qing Mu’s words dispelled all her thoughts.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

“What I’m trying to do, you’ll find out soon enough.”

Qing Mu crouched down and imprinted the Blank Rider Card onto Lin Qianqian’s Zero-One Driver.

“Swoosh!”

A bright green energy shot out from the Zero-One Driver and entered the Blank Rider Card.

In the next moment, the blank Rider card had a pattern.

It was no longer blank but now bore the emblem of Kamen Rider Zero-One.

The Blank Rider Card had transformed into a Zero-One Rider Card.

Due to the angle, Lin Qianqian couldn’t see the design on the Zero-One Rider Card, but she saw that Qing Mu had apparently taken something from her Zero-One Driver.

However, she didn’t know what exactly he had taken.

“Done.”

With the card in his hand, Qing Mu was content. He casually tossed Attache Calibur aside and examined the Zero-One Rider Card carefully.

“???”

Lin Qianqian had three big question marks hovering over her head.

Was that it?

I had prepared myself, ready to defend my chastity to the death.

Is this all there is to it?

Do I lack charm?

Are you insulting my looks and physique like this?

The humiliation she felt now was even greater than before.

Qing Mu was already underestimating her strength, and she could somewhat understand that because Qing Mu was indeed very powerful, and she had no chance of winning against him.

But now, Qing Mu was also mocking her appearance.

This was something Lin Qianqian found hard to tolerate.

“What have you done to me? Weren’t you planning to do that to me?”

“What?” Qing Mu was momentarily puzzled. “I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about.”

However, as an experienced player, Qing Mu quickly realized what she meant and suddenly had an epiphany.

“Oh, you mean that? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you in that way. You’re overestimating yourself. I’m only interested in those above D-grade; I’m not into anything below that.”

This statement completely infuriated Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian had extraordinary looks, unmatched by anyone at Flame City University. She stood close to 1.7 meters tall, and her figure was exceptionally attractive.

The only downside was that she was a bit short.

This was her only shortcoming.

So much so that she never allowed anyone to bring up such matters in her presence. Now, Qing Mu not only mentioned it but openly mocked her for being “short.”

Lin Qianqian, unable to bear the humiliation, threw a punch towards Qing Mu’s face using the “Palm-to-Fist Technique.”

Qing Mu easily caught Lin Qianqian’s fist with an open palm.

“You’re quite fiery; I like your spirit. Dealing with someone like you is rather fitting. I enjoy it. To handle you, I think I’ll use this card.”

The Zero-One Rider Card he had just acquired was tossed into Decade’s Drive, and he initiated a violent transformation.

[KamenRide! Zero! One! A! jump! to! the! sky! turns! to! a! riderkick!]

A half-meter-tall green grasshopper descended from the sky, landing heavily next to Qing Mu.

“Thud!”

The ground shook as the green grasshopper stomped on it, raising a cloud of dust and debris.

Lin Qianqian watched in disbelief at the green grasshopper. She couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Why is this happening? This… this… this…”

This green grasshopper should only appear when using the Zero-One Driver and the “Rising Hopper Progrisekey” for a transformation. Why was it here now? Was someone nearby using the Zero-One Driver to transform?

But the next moment, Lin Qianqian realized she was utterly wrong, and her mistake was beyond ridiculous.

Qing Mu’s body emitted a yellow-green fluorescent glow. The green grasshopper that had appeared disintegrated into various Rider armor components, fitting onto Qing Mu.

Right before Lin Qianqian’s eyes, Qing Mu transformed into Kamen Rider Zero-One, specifically the “Rising Hopper” form.

“You can transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One?” Lin Qianqian exclaimed in shock.

“Why wouldn’t I be able to?” Qing Mu replied as his body still glowed with the greenish hue. He didn’t hesitate and kicked Lin Qianqian in the process.

“Bang!”

The terrifying force sent Lin Qianqian flying several tens of meters away. Even a few large trees, several tens of centimeters thick, were snapped in half by the impact.

“Not bad. Kamen Rider Zero-One’s power is a bit stronger than I expected.”

Feeling the strength of Kamen Rider Zero-One, Qing Mu couldn’t help but appreciate it. After transforming into Kamen Rider Zero-One, Qing Mu’s attributes were significantly enhanced compared to his normal Decade form. It was almost an all-around upgrade.

Qing Mu speculated that it might be due to the boost provided by the pink Decade Drive. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to have such terrifying power.

The blow from earlier had left Lin Qianqian with significant injuries. She was in severe pain, and even standing up was a challenging task at the moment.

She gazed at Qing Mu from a distance, questioning him, “How do you possess such incredible power? It’s impossible to have this level of strength using the Rising Hopper Progrisekey to transform! What exactly did you do?”

As the user of the Zero-One Driver, Lin Qianqian had a better understanding of the power that Kamen Rider Zero-One should possess. The astonishing strength displayed by Qing Mu wasn’t something Kamen Rider Zero-One should have.

Could it be that the person who had stolen Kamen Rider Zero-One’s power was even stronger than the original?

Qing Mu was currently in a great mood, and he didn’t mind explaining a bit to address Lin Qianqian’s doubts.

“It’s true that using the Zero-One Driver and the Rising Hopper Progrisekey wouldn’t grant this kind of power. But clearly, I’m not using the Zero-One Driver. That’s why I can have this strength, surpassing what Kamen Rider Zero-One possesses.”

He pointed at his Decade Drive, then gestured towards the Kamen Rider Zero-One form he had taken on.

Lin Qianqian felt like she was in a surreal situation. Qing Mu was using something other than the Zero-One Driver, yet he could openly transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One and be even more powerful than the original. It was hard for her to comprehend.

“Why is your Rider Drive something I’ve never seen before, with such strange abilities? I’ll remember you, Pink Kamen Rider!”

“Let me clarify once more: it’s not pink; it’s magenta. If you insist on addressing me by my name, you can call me Kamen Rider Emperor or simply Decade.”

“Kamen Rider Decade?” Decade’s name felt a bit awkward to pronounce.

Lin Qianqian found the name Decade a bit more convenient, even though it sounded somewhat arrogant. “Emperor?”

“What does it mean? Like, the Emperor of all Riders? Your name instantly overshadows all the other Kamen Riders, doesn’t it?”
