The moment he completed his transformation, Tsukasa Kadoya moved swiftly. The ground where his right foot had been standing sank slightly, and numerous cracks spread out from the center of his body.

A crimson energy enveloped Tsukasa Kadoya's fist, slamming down towards Sougo Tokiwa's face with a hissing sound as it cut through the air. Seeing this, Sougo Tokiwa reacted extremely quickly, raising his arms to protect himself while subtly thrusting his left knee forward.

But how could such a small move by Tokiwa Sougo possibly escape the notice of the cunning and shrewd Kadoya Tsukasa? The moment his fist was blocked by Tokiwa Sougo's arms, he quickly raised his other hand and precisely blocked Tokiwa Sougo's knee strike with his elbow.

The two exchanged blows with a slightly muffled sound. As they exerted their strength simultaneously, the force caused them to each take two or three steps back, widening the distance between them once again.

"Your reaction speed is getting better and better."

With a slight flick of his wrist, Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but let out a sigh. The moment the words left his mouth, he launched another attack, feinting an attack on Tokiwa Sougo's lower body, but actually executing a spinning sweep kick.

"After so many battles, wouldn't it be even stranger if I hadn't improved?"

While responding to Tsukasa Kadoya's teasing, Tokiwa Sougo leaned back to avoid Kadoya's sweeping kick, but when he lost his balance, he was struck on the shoulder armor by Kadoya's hand chop and staggered back several steps.

However, Tokiwa Sougo's reaction speed was fast enough. In an instant, he adjusted his body posture and threw a straight punch at the chest of the pursuing Kadoya Tsukasa.

Two straight punches landed simultaneously on each other's chests, and amidst the sparks flying, both men couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Taking advantage of the moment when Tsukasa Kadoya was slightly slowed down by the impact, Sougo Tokiwa grabbed his right arm and prepared to throw him over his shoulder.

But Tsukasa Kadoya reacted even faster. He used the momentum to leap into the air, and his left leg slammed down like a giant axe that split the heavens and the earth, as if he wanted to cleave Tokiwa Sougo in two.

Seeing this, Tokiwa Sougo hurriedly raised his arms to defend himself, but he was still hit by Kadoya Tsukasa's downward slash and his body sank a few feet, his feet sinking directly into the ground.

"But it's still a little short."

After giving another assessment, just as Tsukasa Kadoya was about to continue his pursuit, Sougo Tokiwa suddenly pushed off with all his might, his body springing up and delivering a headbutt attack to Tsukasa Kadoya, slamming hard into his head armor.

Unexpectedly, his junior would use such a move. Tsukasa Kadoya, who had been hit hard on the head, was unsteady on his feet and was clearly in a dazed state.

Tokiwa Sougo, of course, would not let such a good opportunity pass by. He unleashed a barrage of kicks on Kadoya Tsukasa like a storm, finishing with a spinning kick that struck Kadoya Tsukasa in the waist, sending him flying.

"Um, Zhan Tu, is there some personal grudge between those two?"

Watching Tokiwa Sougo's offensive against Kadoya Tsukasa, Jerami couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. He moved closer to Kiryu Sento, with whom he had just fought, and asked with considerable curiosity.

"Well, it's a bit of a personal grudge."

Faced with Jerami's question, Kiryu Sento couldn't help but recall the time when Tokiwa Sougo complained to him that Shige-senpai had beaten him up for no reason, and even used the power of Rider Build. He couldn't help but laugh and explain.

"I see. It's one thing for Shi-kun to eat Zhuang Wu's food, but he even beat him up. No wonder there's a personal grudge between them."

After listening to Kiryu Sento briefly recount the whole story, Jeremy nodded slightly in realization and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"That's why I pulled Ryuga-senpai and Kira-senpai together to encourage Shi-senpai and Sougo-senpai to spar. After all, this is definitely a match between old grudges."

Standing next to Kiryu Sento and Jellami, Isaac, who had been whispering and chatting with Banjou Ryuga and Kira, suddenly came over and said with a grin.

"Hey, what happened? Why are Shi-senpai and Sougo fighting?"

Just as Isaac was sharing his fun with Jeremy and the other man, a slightly puzzled voice reached the ears of the group who were watching the show.

Subconsciously, they turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came, and what came into Isaac and the others' view was none other than Hiden Aruto, the president of Hiden Intelligence, who had just returned from a stroll in the suburbs of the metropolis.

"Senior Aruto? You're back! Come here quickly, come here quickly, come and see the sparring match between Senior Shi and Senior Sougo."

Noticing that Hiden was watching the battle in the training field with a somewhat conflicted and hesitant look on his face, Isaac thought for a moment and guessed what he was thinking. He immediately greeted him with a smile and explained the whole story to him.

While Isaac and his friends were chatting and laughing, the battle between Tsukasa Kadoya and Sougo Tokiwa continued, and had even reached a fever pitch.

"I never expected you would use such a move."

With a slight push of his palms against the ground, Tsukasa Kadoya flipped himself up, dusted off non-existent dust, and made a rather amused remark. The moment his words fell, he suddenly shot forward.

Seeing this, Tokiwa Sougo quickly assumed a defensive stance, but just as the two were about to make contact, Kadoya Tsukasa subtly changed his footwork, bypassing Tokiwa Sougo's defense and slamming his elbow heavily into Tokiwa Sougo's back, followed by a knee strike to the back.

In this critical moment, Tokiwa Sougo had a flash of inspiration. He grabbed Kadoya Tsukasa's leg armor with his backhand and rolled forward to deflect Kadoya Tsukasa's sneak attack. Then he quickly turned around and threw a backhand punch.

The fist, originally aimed at Tsukasa Kadoya's head armor, only grazed the armor due to his head tilt. But in the next second, both of them swung their fists again, hitting each other directly in the abdomen. With a muffled thud, both of them staggered back a few steps.

"Senior, you really don't hold back at all!"

Taking a couple of light breaths to adjust his breathing rhythm, Tokiwa Sougo couldn't help but complain. He was truly a bit helpless with his senior.

"Although your combat skills and reactions have improved a lot compared to before, they are still too one-dimensional and easy for others to see through."

Hearing Tokiwa Sougo's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic remarks), Kadoya Tsukasa shook his head and explained with a smile that since this was a sparring match, the necessary guidance was essential. After speaking, Kadoya Tsukasa launched another attack. His punches, which were initially fairly rhythmic, became inconsistent in speed, making it very awkward for Tokiwa Sougo to deal with. After a series of blocks, Tokiwa Sougo opened up and was hit in the chin by Kadoya Tsukasa's uppercut, which sent him flying into the air.

But just as Tsukasa Kadoya leaped up, preparing to deliver a flying kick, he saw the pointer on Sougo Tokiwa's face armor spin rapidly in mid-air, then suddenly curled up and kicked out with both feet, colliding directly with Tsukasa Kadoya's flying kick.

Under the reaction force of the collision, Tsukasa Kadoya and Sougo Tokiwa widened the distance between them again. When they landed, they were about seven or eight meters apart. They both assumed the starting stance for their respective Rider Kicks.

The two figures shot out like arrows without pausing for a moment, but just as they crossed paths, Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly lowered his body, causing Sougo Tokiwa's kick to only glide past the top of his head.

However, Tsukasa Kadoya's boot slammed into the side of Tokiwa Sougo's knee joint with a thud, and Tokiwa Sougo, who lost his balance, tumbled several times and flew away.

Just as Tokiwa Sougo was kneeling and propping himself up, he found that Kadoya Tsukasa's fist had stopped right in front of his face, only a few centimeters away from his facial armor.

"Phew~ I give up!"

With a soft exhale, Tokiwa Sougo was the first to deactivate his transformation and immediately concede defeat. In fact, according to the rules, he had already lost after using his time prediction ability.

Tsukasa Kadoya, who had also deactivated his transformation, didn't say anything. He just chuckled, shook his head, and reached out to help Sougo Tokiwa up.

"Isaac, are you free right now?"

Seeing the group of senior knights and two team members chatting in twos and threes, Hiden Aruto pondered for a moment and decided to have a brief chat with his junior, Isaac.

"Oh? You have time, Aruto-senpai. What can I do for you?"

Isaac, who was chatting happily with Ryuga Banjou and Kira, stopped talking to them temporarily after hearing Aruto Hiden's words. He walked over to Aruto Hiden and greeted him with a smile.

Do you need a secretary?

"what?"

For reasons unknown, when Hiden Aruto opened his mouth, he went straight to the point, effectively shutting down Isaac's brain with a single sentence.

"Today, while I was using Zea to collect information about this world, I happened to see some news related to you and learned that your family owns a technology company."

Seeing Isaac standing there dumbfounded, Hiden Aruto realized that his words had seemed somewhat incoherent, so he immediately added something else.

"Oh, senior, you mean this? Sigh, my dad dragged me to his company during summer vacation, ostensibly to train my management skills, but I really have no interest in that. Managing a company takes up too much of my energy. I'd much rather do research and refine my alchemy."

After hearing Hiden Aruto's words, Isaac suddenly had some guesses about his senior's thoughts, so he didn't hide anything and directly started to complain.

After all, the senior Hiden Aruto in front of him had a similar experience to his own. He had originally wanted to be a comedian, not the president of Hiden Intelligence, but due to a combination of factors, he eventually ended up in this position.

"What if I introduced you to a secretary-type android to help you manage the company? What do you think?"

Listening to the young man's complaints, Hiden Aruto vaguely saw his younger self, arguing with his grandfather Hiden Korenosuke. His gaze towards Isaac softened, and of course, he didn't forget the important matter at hand, directly stating his thoughts to Isaac.

"Secretary-type android? Hmm, if you have secretaries like Iz and Jesta to help you, then managing a company is indeed not difficult."

After listening to Hiden Aruto's words, Isaac imagined it for a moment and couldn't help but nod emphatically, agreeing with his senior's statement. After all, Hiden Aruto was a good example.

"So, you're saying you're willing?"

Hiden Aruto could naturally understand the meaning behind Isaac's words. He raised his eyebrows slightly, his smile widening. But just in case, he asked again to confirm.

"Of course, so which android doll are you planning to introduce to me, senior?"

Isaac wholeheartedly agreed to Hiden Aruto's plan to introduce him to the Secretary-type android. With the Secretary-type android's assistance, he wouldn't have to worry about his father making him learn how to manage the company anymore.

"Hmm~ What do you think of Jesta?"

Hiden Aruto stroked his chin, pretending to be deep in thought. After a moment, he clapped his hands lightly and asked a question with a smile.

"Ah, Jesta, the secretary to the vice president of Feidian Intelligence, are you sure you really want to introduce her to me as my secretary?"

Isaac couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. He really didn't expect that his senior would actually plan to introduce him to the vice president's secretary from Feidian Intelligence.

"Yes, since you've already agreed, I'll talk to Jesta when I get back and see if she's willing to be your secretary. If not, I'll have a secretary-type android custom-made just for you."

Nodding slightly, Hiden Aruto acknowledged Isaac's statement. Now that Isaac had agreed, Hiden Aruto planned to go and talk to his vice president's secretary about the matter after this matter was resolved.

If Jesta disagrees, then Hiden Aruto will specially customize a secretary-type android for his highly regarded junior. Of course, this is a backup plan if Jesta disagrees.
