Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

Chapter 17 - Side Effects of faizDrive, What's it to me about Emperor Drive



“Wait, so you not only can transform into Kamen Rider Zero-One, but also into Kamen Rider Faiz? Are you even human? How can you transform into so many Kamen Riders? How do you do it?” Lin Qianqian asked with excitement.

Yesterday, Qing Mu had demonstrated stealing Kamen Rider Zero-One’s abilities right in front of her, and now he had done the same with Wan Sheng’s Kamen Rider Faiz. This was beyond comprehension for her.

“Is it that unusual? As long as you have hands, it’s pretty simple,” Qing Mu casually replied.

The Faiz Rider card had boosted Qing Mu’s basic attributes significantly, and his combat abilities had improved even further.

If only the two of them knew that Qing Mu could do even more, they would be even more surprised.

“Simple as long as you have hands?” Lin Qianqian raised her hands and looked at them. “I have hands, but I really can’t do that. What kind of sorcery is this?”

Wan Sheng, being smarter than Lin Qianqian, had a faint suspicion. “Your recent actions, were you trying to obtain Kamen Rider Faiz’s powers from me? The ‘spoils’ you mentioned are the powers of Kamen Rider Faiz, right?”

“You’re quite sharp, I didn’t expect you to figure it out so quickly. Yes, my recent actions were all about copying Kamen Rider Faiz’s powers from you. Thank you for helping me gain the abilities of another Kamen Rider,” Qing Mu openly admitted.

With his actions of copying Rider powers being so obvious, there was no point in hiding it, especially when dealing with uncooperative people. If someone refused to cooperate, Qing Mu could just fight them until they did.

“So, you transformed into Kamen Rider Zero-One yesterday by obtaining that transformation ability from me? You stole my powers as Kamen Rider Zero-One? How could you? You’re outrageous!” Lin Qianqian was fuming at the thought of Qing Mu using the powers he had taken from her to fight her and even injuring her in the process.

In her eyes, there was nothing more frustrating than this in the world.

“Don’t worry, my ability is more like copy-paste. It won’t have a significant impact on you. You can still transform and use your powers normally. You’re unaffected, and I gain your powers. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?” Qing Mu explained, trying to ease her anger.

“But it doesn’t make sense! The faizDrive can only be used by Orphnochs. You’re not an Orphnoch, are you? So why can you use Kamen Rider Faiz’s powers?” Wan Sheng expressed his confusion.

Qing Mu shrugged, “Isn’t it obvious? I’m not using the faizDrive. So even if I use Kamen Rider Faiz’s powers, it doesn’t matter. What’s the problem?”

“Uh… This…” Wan Sheng was speechless.

On the surface, it didn’t seem to be a problem. But upon closer examination, there was something odd about it. Did it mean that Qing Mu could use the powers of other Kamen Riders without any restrictions or usage conditions, bypassing the limitations set by their respective Drivers? It sounded incredibly unfair and overpowered.

Qing Mu continued, “Alright, thanks for your contributions! Thanks to both of you, I’ve gained the powers of Kamen Rider Faiz and Kamen Rider Zero-One. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way. Of course, if you have stronger companions, feel free to bring them for revenge. I welcome the challenge.”

Qing Mu then removed the Faiz Rider card from the Decade Drive, returning to Kamen Rider Decade, and turned to leave.

Lin Qianqian and Wan Sheng, both affiliated with a certain organization of Kamen Riders, knew that there were likely more Riders in their organization. If they could bring more Riders to help collect Rider powers for Qing Mu, it would be a significant advantage.

Qing Mu was eager to welcome them.

“Brother Wan Sheng, this…” Lin Qianqian wanted to suggest going back and bringing more people to deal with Qing Mu, to put an end to his arrogance. However, the thought of Qing Mu’s terrifying ability to steal Rider powers made her hesitate.

What if the reinforcements they brought couldn’t defeat Qing Mu, and they ended up just giving him more powers? Lin Qianqian couldn’t risk that.

Wan Sheng stood up, removed the FaizPhone, and reverted to his human form. “Let’s head back for now. Qing Mu’s abilities might be far beyond our imagination. The fact that his Rider Drive can use the powers of other Kamen Riders is unheard of and unbelievable. I suspect he might not be ordinary, and there could be a massive secret behind him. We need to investigate carefully.”

Lin Qianqian nodded. Then, she remembered that Wan Sheng was an Orphnoch.

“Brother Wan Sheng, is it true?”

With the truth now exposed, Wan Sheng had no choice but to be honest. “Ah, Qianqian, yes, I am an Orphnoch. This is something that Director Lin has known all along. I’m really sorry for keeping it from you for so long. It was to protect me, to prevent me from being treated differently or ostracized within the Defense Base. I’m sorry I lied to you for so long.”

“It’s okay, Brother Wan Sheng. Even if you’re an Orphnoch, you’ll always be the most respected big brother in my heart. Your accomplishments have been witnessed by everyone. Being an Orphnoch doesn’t change that. You have a human heart, and that’s what matters.”

Lin Qianqian accepted Wan Sheng’s identity as an Orphnoch with grace. They had been friends for several years and had fought side by side. Wan Sheng had saved her life multiple times, pulling her back from the brink of death. Lin Qianqian wasn’t one to forget such kindness just because of Wan Sheng’s Orphnoch status.

Wan Sheng was touched by her understanding. “Thank you for your understanding, Qianqian.”

“It’s no problem, Brother Wan Sheng. Let’s go back now. We should report this matter to my father. Qing Mu’s Drive is too strange. Qing Mu mentioned that it was something his father left him. Maybe we should investigate it from his father’s side. There might be some unexpected surprises.”

Without further delay, the two of them quickly left and returned to the Yancheng Defense Base. The day had brought them an overwhelming amount of information, and they needed help to process it all. Otherwise, it might become too much to handle.
