Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

“So fast!”

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi hadn’t expected Bai Tian, who appeared arrogant and conceited, to actually have some skills. They were slightly surprised.

With just this speed, Bai Tian’s strength was already enough to outpace ordinary Kamen Riders or monsters, qualifying for a head-on battle with Worm.

“Boom!”

The front wheel shooter struck Qing Mu’s chest armor.

Qing Mu stood still, not budging an inch, enduring this blow.

“You’re not dodging?”

Bai Tian was dumbfounded.

He thought Qing Mu should have been able to evade that attack.

But it seemed like the other party didn’t even have the ability to react, let alone dodge.

This made Bai Tian even more certain that Qing Mu had no real skills, just a deceptive trickster.

But little did he know, Qing Mu’s next words would infuriate him.

“Why should I dodge such a weak attack? It’s not even worth my effort.”

A ripple shook through his body.

A force of recoil acted upon the front wheel shooter.

Bai Tian was shaken by this recoil force, his hand nearly losing its grip on the weapon.

At this moment, he finally felt the peculiarity of Qing Mu, taking a few steps back in haste.

“It seems you do have some skills after all, to be able to partially reflect my attack back at me. Is this your confidence?”

Bai Tian had misunderstood.

He believed that Qing Mu had somehow used his earlier attack against him through an unknown method.

Little did he know, this was not any special ability at all.

Qing Mu had simply used a bit of force ‘lightly.’

“If thinking this way makes you feel better, then go ahead. I’m in a hurry, so let’s not waste time on these random things. Show me your true skills. I don’t have time to dawdle with you.”

Using the power of Decade to deal with Bai Tian had already given him face.

Add to that the power of the Muteki Gamer form.

Qing Mu felt like he might be bullying Bai Tian a bit too much now, and it didn’t feel right.

This battle would probably leave Bai Tian in a state of shock.

“Then, let’s do this!”

Bai Tian realized that Qing Mu might not be as simple as he had imagined, so he didn’t dare to be careless anymore. He pressed the button on the Mach Driver and released the energy of Signal Mach Mach.

【Full! Throttle! Mach!】

Sound effects echoed.

The Mach Driver’s performance was pushed to the limit.

A faint white light radiated from Bai Tian’s body, and the roar of a motorcycle engine continued to ring out.

In this state, Bai Tian’s strength and speed would reach unprecedented heights, making him incredibly powerful.

However, as the cost of this burst of power…

He can’t maintain this state for long.

It’s a burst of power obtained by sacrificing combat time.

“So hot! It’s burning!”

Bai Tian felt the temperature inside his Rider armor rising continuously, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He didn’t dare to waste any time and immediately unleashed all his strength to attack Qing Mu.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“…”

In the eyes of the others, the current scene looked like this:

Bai Tian used powerful and rapid consecutive attacks on Qing Mu, who was unable to keep up with Bai Tian’s speed. He seemed completely stunned, not even attempting to dodge, just standing in one place and taking the blows.

With each of Bai Tian’s attacks hitting Qing Mu, they would produce large bursts of flames.

It appeared that Qing Mu was being severely suppressed.

Tian Mi became anxious and said, “What’s Qing Mu doing? Why isn’t he moving at all? Just a while ago, he easily handled those fast-moving Worms, so he should be able to handle this guy, right?”

“Maybe Qing Mu wants to have some fun with the opponent and test out his Mach Driver. After all, that thing looks quite strange and intriguing,” Li Ling’er guessed Qing Mu’s intentions.

Bai Tian was acting arrogantly, right? Then they should deflate his ego a bit and make sure he can’t be so arrogant anymore. Letting the opponent stand there and take the beating, allowing them to be hit without defending, was obviously the best approach.

“However, Qing Mu’s defense in this form seems genuinely strong. He withstood that powerful attack from the Worm without a scratch. This guy probably can’t break through Qing Mu’s defense, right?”

Thinking back to Qing Mu’s fearless confrontation with the Chong S Worm’s attack, completely disregarding his opponent.

Tian Mi couldn’t help but admire and trust Qing Mu a bit more.

That level of defense was beyond imagination.

It was as if no attack could break through it.

It was like he had activated an invincibility mode.

“Since Qing Mu dares to stand and let the opponent attack, it means he’s confident. No need to doubt him; let’s just watch quietly,” Li Ling’er expressed full confidence in Qing Mu.

She knew that Qing Mu was not like Bai Tian.

He definitely wouldn’t crash and burn due to his own arrogance, like Bai Tian might.

The people brought by Bai Tian watched as Qing Mu continued to take the beating, silently rooting for their comrade.

They felt that Qing Mu didn’t even have the ability to resist Bai Tian, and the outcome of this battle seemed decided. It was just a matter of seeing how long Qing Mu could hold up under Bai Tian’s attacks.

But things took an unexpected turn.

Bai Tian launched nearly a hundred attacks in a short period of time.

Yet Qing Mu still stood there, unmoving, and didn’t appear to be injured in the slightest.

Suddenly, Qing Mu, who had been playing the target all along, spoke up, “Had enough fun? How long do you plan to keep scratching like that?”

“What?” Bai Tian heard Qing Mu’s words and almost spat out blood.

His Mach Driver and Signal Mach Mach were running at super-high power, and the interior of his Rider armor was heating up to the point of almost roasting him alive.

In this state, Qing Mu had actually withstood so many of his attacks without any harm. Bai Tian began to suspect if Qing Mu was some sort of monster, as there was no other explanation for such a terrifying level of defense. Even the toughest and most defensively skilled monsters wouldn’t be able to withstand so many attacks.

“It seems like you can’t come up with anything new to play with. In that case, this battle should be just about over.”

Qing Mu, who had been taking a beating, finally took the initiative.

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, he moved behind Bai Tian.

Bai Tian didn’t even have a chance to react.

“Where is he? Where did he go?”

“Behind you!”

Qing Mu kicked Bai Tian in the waist.

Bai Tian didn’t have a chance to dodge or react.

“Boom!”

A tremendous force sent Bai Tian tumbling.

He fell to the ground, unable to move.

“It hurts so much!”

Just one strike had left Bai Tian seriously injured.

Bai Tian felt intense pain throughout his body, as if he were living in a nightmare.

If the opponent were to fight seriously, could he even last three seconds?

He couldn’t help but doubt it.

“Although your power isn’t that strong, I find it quite interesting. So, could you lend me your power for a bit of fun?”

Qing Mu’s right foot pressed down on Bai Tian’s body, making it impossible for Bai Tian to resist or move. Then, he took out a Blank Rider Card, pinched it between his index and middle fingers, and threw it with force.

“Crack!”

With the powerful force, the Blank Rider Card easily sliced through Bai Tian’s defense and embedded itself into the Rider armor.

A white energy gathered from within Bai Tian’s body into the Rider card.

Finally, this Blank Rider Card had an image on it.

It was the pattern of Kamen Rider Mach.

“So, this is the Rider Card of the First Defeated King of the Heisei Era, ‘Mach’? I guess I’ve got my hands on it too.”

Qing Mu bent down and took out the Rider Card, examining it.

He also gave Bai Tian a kick, sending Bai Tian flying.

“Hit!”

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, Bai Tian was sent flying dozens of meters away, breaking a load-bearing beam in the process.

The broken load-bearing beam crashed heavily onto Bai Tian, causing him additional harm.

*Cough, cough!*

Bai Tian coughed heavily.

He felt a heavy pressure on his chest, as if, with each cough, he was spitting out more and more blood.

“Bai Tian!”

The people who had come with Bai Tian clearly didn’t expect him to lose so quickly and decisively. Qing Mu had only used two moves, and Bai Tian had no room to resist.

Just as Qing Mu had said from the beginning, once he made a move, Bai Tian didn’t stand a chance. Not only did he have no chance of winning, but he also had no opportunity to call for help.

Qing Mu’s actions were fast, accurate, and ruthless, leaving Bai Tian with no room to maneuver.

How could Bai Tian call for help when two people had transformed into Kamen Riders and were holding the load-bearing beam on top of him?

Only after they removed the beam did Bai Tian start to feel a bit more comfortable.

He quickly opened the helmet visor to cool down.

The earlier super-powered overload had made him unbearably hot.

*Puff!*

A plume of white smoke escaped through the gaps in the helmet visor.

Following that, an intense heat, almost like boiling water, radiated from inside the helmet.

With the new card in hand and right in front of the person who had it, it seemed only fitting to give it a try.

Qing Mu exited the Muteki Gamer form of Decade Drive and replaced it with the freshly acquired Mach Rider Card, still warm from the battle.

【KamenRide! Mach! Signal! Bike! Rider! Mach!】

Qing Mu’s transformation effects were identical to Bai Tian’s, without any differences.

After completing the transformation, Qing Mu brushed off the dust from his suit and addressed Bai Tian, “Dealing with you should be easier with this power.”

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi had both witnessed Qing Mu replicating powers before, so they didn’t find it strange at all that Qing Mu could replicate Bai Tian’s Kamen Rider Mach power. They even considered it quite normal. They were only surprised by Qing Mu’s astonishing efficiency.

To think that in just a short battle, he had replicated Bai Tian’s power as Kamen Rider Mach. It was an incredibly fast process, almost unbelievable.

Bai Tian and his companions had no idea that Qing Mu possessed this ability.

Seeing Qing Mu transform into Kamen Rider Mach, identical to Bai Tian, was quite a shock for them.

They all widened their eyes, mouths agape, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

“What? You can also transform into Kamen Rider Mach?”

Faced with the skepticism of the others, Qing Mu remained calm.

“What’s so surprising about that?”

He then demonstrated one of the unique abilities of Drive-type Kamen Riders, Heavy Acceleration.

Heavy Acceleration activated.

Except for Qing Mu and Bai Tian, everyone else was affected by Heavy Acceleration.

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi had never even heard of Heavy Acceleration before. They only felt that their bodies had become incredibly heavy. Tasks that used to be easy now seemed extraordinarily difficult. Even turning their heads felt like they were in slow motion, as if time had been slowed down to a crawl. However, their consciousness and vision remained normal. This peculiar sensation was uncomfortable, to say the least. It was difficult to describe, but if they had to put it into words, it might be “awkward” or “unpleasant.”

“You can also activate Heavy Acceleration? Not only did you copy my appearance, but you also completely copied my abilities? How did you do it?”

As the victim of identity theft, Bai Tian finally realized just how terrifying Qing Mu was. Qing Mu had taken his powers without any consultation or negotiation. Even though he wasn’t using a Mach Driver, he could forcibly transform into Kamen Rider Mach and use the exclusive powers of Kamen Rider Mach. This behavior was beyond unreasonable. It completely disregarded the feelings and dignity of others.

Bai Tian was now shocked, angry, and somewhat afraid. If he had known how powerful Qing Mu was, he would never have dared to challenge him. Based on Qing Mu’s recent performance, Bai Tian would believe it even if someone told him that Qing Mu had defeated dozens of Chong S Worms. This level of power was unreasonable, leaving no room for others to escape.

Unfortunately, there were no second chances in this world.

Qing Mu, however, was nonchalant and said, “Is it really that difficult? It’s quite easy, actually. I should thank you because with your help, I gained access to a new Rider System’s power. Although this Rider System isn’t very strong, I find it quite entertaining.”

“You!” Bai Tian felt a surge of powerlessness and despair.

His arrogance and self-confidence had been based on having the Mach Driver in his possession. He had relied on the explosive power of the Mach Driver and the uniqueness of Heavy Acceleration. He had never truly respected anyone at the Yancheng Defense Base, not even Lóng shí, who was considered the strongest at the base.

Little did he know that today would be his downfall.

He ended up falling at the hands of someone as ordinary as Qing Mu. Faced with the terrifying Qing Mu, not even his prized Mach Driver could save his pride. In the end, he lost face.

But that wasn’t the worst part. His powers had been stolen and replicated by someone else, turning them into someone else’s plaything. To add insult to injury, he had to endure their disdain.

Bai Tian felt like he had never been so humiliated in his life. He began to regret why he had questioned Qing Mu’s abilities in the first place. Instead of successfully exposing a fake, he had been cruelly embarrassed by his opponent, giving them a chance to successfully impersonate him. He had essentially slapped himself in the face.

“All right, I was just playing with you earlier, to show you whether my strength was enough to eliminate so many Worms. Since it’s been proven now, there’s no need to continue playing, do you agree?”

“I agree. We indeed don’t need to continue playing.”

What could he do if he didn’t agree? Charge in and fight again? Setting aside his injuries, even at his peak condition, with Qing Mu now possessing the same powers as him, he didn’t have absolute confidence in defeating Qing Mu.

“If you had cooperated and been reasonable earlier, it would have been much better. We could have avoided this battle,” Qing Mu expressed satisfaction with Bai Tian’s newfound understanding. It seemed that Bai Tian had finally realized that there were always greater challenges and that even the best could be surpassed.

Bai Tian had no intention of arguing with Qing Mu. Mainly because he couldn’t win against Qing Mu, so arguing would be futile. It was better to admit defeat gracefully.

Looking at his companions suffering from Heavy Acceleration, Bai Tian politely asked, “Could you please release the Heavy Acceleration? Staying in Heavy Acceleration for too long is not good for our physical and mental well-being.”

His tone was much more polite than before, even using words like “please.”

Qing Mu couldn’t help but feel that in this day and age, physics was more useful than philosophy, and the era of reasoning had passed.

The Heavy Acceleration ability was deactivated, and everything returned to normal.

“I felt like I was suffocating! Qing Mu, what on earth was that thing earlier?” Tian Mi couldn’t help but ask as soon as the restrictions were lifted.
