As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen, dressed in a black uniform, slowly walked along the tree-lined path behind the teaching building, following the predetermined route.

The conflict between Tsukasa Kadoya and Clover in the garden just now was like a pebble thrown into a lake, stirring up ripples in his heart. He knew all too well what Tsukasa Kadoya's arrival meant—this "destroyer" who travels through worlds would be like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the false peace of this academy, tearing apart the carefully woven disguise of the Orphnochs, and the moment the order collapsed would be the opportunity to break the deadlock that he had been waiting for for half a year.

Lin Chen didn't stop walking, his mind rapidly reviewing the current situation: the Earth Emperor's Belt was hidden in the core area underground of the main teaching building, and the defenses were airtight, so a direct assault would be certain death; Onoue Takumi's Faiz was growing faster than expected, making it increasingly difficult to steal monsters, and the accumulation of evolution points could not keep up with the depletion of his lifespan; Lucky Clover's fear of him had never diminished, and Kurosawa treated him as a tool that could be used to the death.

Just as he was planning his next move, the walkie-talkie on his chest suddenly crackled with electrical noise, followed by Kurosawa's voice, which was commanding and left no room for argument: "Lin Chen, proceed to the tennis court immediately. A large-scale fluctuation of the Orphino factor has been detected. Prioritize controlling the situation on-site and report back as soon as possible."

"Received." Lin Chen replied in a deep voice, a knowing glint in his eyes as he ended the call. He knew without a doubt that this energy fluctuation was an escalation of the conflict in the garden during the day, but he didn't know which side had struck first.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pushed off with his feet and sprinted towards the tennis court. His agility allowed him to disappear into the shadows of the trees in a flash. In just three minutes, he reached the outer edge of the tennis court and, through a thin layer of wire mesh, could clearly see the tense standoff within.

On the tennis court, two familiar figures confronted a figure clad in pink knight armor. The barcode pattern on the armor was particularly striking, revealing Kamen Rider Decade, Tsukasa Kadoya, who had recently appeared. Lin Chen immediately recognized the two Orphnoch forms—Genda's dragon-type Orphnoch, though vastly different from the one he had previously encountered, which was covered in thick, dark gray scales, had thick limbs, and sharp bone blades on its fists; and Shiro Kin's centipede-type Orphnoch, slender yet sinister, with its segmented limbs gleaming with a cold light, its fingertips wreathed in faint poison, and its vertical pupils fixed intently on Tsukasa Kadoya, filled with murderous intent.

At the corner of the tennis court, Zhu Chuan leaned against the net, still in human form, with a nonchalant smile on his face, like a spectator watching a play, but with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Lin Chen did not reveal himself rashly, but instead remained in the shadows, silently observing the situation. He knew that this was Lucky Clover's first attack on Kadoya Tsukasa, and also a test of this outsider who had suddenly entered the academy. He, the "pawn" urgently dispatched by Kurosawa, was unsure what role he would play.

Before Lin Chen could think any further, Genda couldn't contain himself any longer. With a heavy roar, he pushed off with his feet, charging towards Kadoya Tsukasa like a cannonball. His massive fist, carrying immense force, slammed straight into Kadoya Tsukasa's chest. Shiro Kin followed closely behind, his figure blurring as he circled around to Kadoya Tsukasa's side and rear, his fingertips piercing Kadoya Tsukasa's waist with poisoned thorns. The two, one facing forward and the other side, coordinated perfectly, each strike deadly, clearly intending to finish the fight quickly and take down Decade.

Tsukasa Kadoya showed no sign of panic. His footwork was agile, barely dodging Genta's heavy punch while simultaneously sidestepping Jokin's poisoned dart. He immediately engaged the two in combat. The pink armor gleamed in the sunlight, and the sounds of fists colliding and metal clashing echoed across the tennis court. But two fists couldn't fight four hands. Genta's strength was overwhelming, and Jokin's speed was unpredictable. The two attacked in turn, relentlessly pressing forward. Tsukasa Kadoya gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. In a moment of carelessness, Genta kicked him hard in the lower back, causing him to stagger forward.

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened slightly, thinking that Tsukasa Kadoya would be in dire straits. But as soon as he landed, he rolled over and quickly reached for the card box at his waist with his right hand, pulled out a card, and lightly swept it across his belt.

"Kamen Ride! Blade!"

A cold, electronic voice suddenly rang out, and the pink armor vanished instantly, replaced by a silver-white knight's armor. The red compound eyes were particularly striking in the sunlight, and the card-shaped sword at the waist gleamed with a cold metallic light—it was Kamen Rider Blade form.

With the Card Box Sword in hand, Tsukasa Kadoya instantly turned back, charging towards Genda and Jokin with a fierce sword strike aimed directly at their faces. Seeing this, Jokin's eyes flashed with a sinister glint. His Orphic energy surged wildly, and a long, barbed black whip materialized from his fingertips. The whip whip whipped around Tsukasa Kadoya's Card Box Sword, creating a whistling wind and tightly binding it, attempting to restrict his movements.

Genda seized the opportunity and charged forward again, his fist carrying immense power, aiming for Kadoya Tsukasa's head. Kadoya Tsukasa strained his wrist, breaking free from the whip's restraints, and held his Card Box Sword horizontally in front of him, barely catching Genda's heavy punch. The loud clang of metal clashing exploded, causing the surrounding tennis nets to tremble slightly.

Even in Blade form, Tsukasa Kadoya was still struggling to withstand the combined attacks of Genda and Jokin. Genda's power was overwhelming; each collision left Tsukasa's arm numb, while Jokin's whip was vicious and cunning, constantly attacking from various angles, leaving him exhausted. Lin Chen leaned against the shadows, watching the fierce battle unfold, secretly calculating his next move.

Just as Tsukasa Kadoya was once again cornered by the two, he raised his hand again, pulled a card from the card box, and quickly swept it across his belt.

"Form Ride! Blade·Metal!"

The moment the electronic sound faded, Tsukasa Kadoya's silver-white armor was instantly covered by a layer of golden metallic luster, his aura suddenly intensified, and his defensive power soared. Genda's fist slammed into his chest again, and Shiro's whip lashed his back, but this time, their attacks landed on the metallic armor without leaving a single mark. Instead, they were deflected by the armor's recoil.

Genda's dragon-shaped Orphnoch was so shocked that he took two steps back.

"Heh." Tsukasa Kadoya chuckled softly, a cold glint flashing in his red compound eyes. Seizing the opportunity, he pressed his advantage. Inserting the card, he gripped the card-shaped sword and charged towards Genda like lightning. His sword was fierce, unleashing a series of slashes, each landing precisely on Genda's scales, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound as he shattered Genda's defenses layer by layer.

Genda let out a painful roar, trying to resist, but he was firmly suppressed by Kadoya Tsukasa and had no chance to fight back. Kadoya Tsukasa kicked Genda away, threw away the card box sword in his hand, and drew another card, sweeping it in front of his belt.

"Final Attack Ride! BB-Blade!"

The high-pitched electronic sound echoed throughout the tennis court, and the golden metallic luster on Tsukasa Kadoya's body instantly surged. He leaped into the air with the force of thunder and kicked Genda hard in the chest.

The power of the ultimate attack erupted instantly. Genta's body convulsed violently under the energy impact, his thick scales shattered inch by inch, and black blood gushed out. In just a few seconds, he turned into a pile of black ash, which scattered on the tennis court and swayed slightly in the wind.

Looking at the pile of ashes, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Genta, as one of the lucky four-leaf clovers, was a genuine high-level Orphnoch. If he had killed him personally, he would have gained a large number of evolution points. But now, he was instantly killed by Kadoya Tsukasa with a single sword strike, without even getting a single evolution point. It was a huge loss.

Just as he was secretly lamenting, a figure slowly walked in from the entrance of the tennis court—it was Momose. He looked at the ashes on the ground, his face expressionless, without even a trace of anger. He simply walked slowly to the ashes, his Orphic energy surging wildly, instantly transforming him into a tiger-type Orphic. Silver-black scales covered his entire body, and a cold glint flashed in his amber vertical pupils. He raised his right hand, and several slender, tubular structures slowly extended from his fingertips, like vines, and pierced into the pile of ashes that Genda had become.

A horrifying scene unfolded.

The black ash, drawn by the tubular structure, began to rapidly coalesce, flowing into Momose's body and then emerging from her fingertips, reforming into Genta's form. In just over ten seconds, Genta reappeared on the tennis court, still in his dragon-type Orphnoch form, but now in his familiar appearance: covered in thick, dark gray scales, with robust limbs, sharp bone blades forming on his fists, and radiating an overwhelming aura of power.

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart. He had never imagined that Orphnoch could be resurrected in this way, and even change shape. The Lucky Four-Leaf Clover's trump cards were far more numerous than he had imagined, and the secrets of this Smart Brain Academy were far more complex than he had guessed.

Meanwhile, Zhu Chuan, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, also put away his nonchalant smile upon seeing Genta's resurrection and evolution. His Orphic energy surged, and he instantly transformed into a lobster-shaped Orphic. Covered in a dark red carapace, his claws gleamed with a cold light. With a swift movement, he stood in a row with Momose, Genta, and Shirokin. The pressure of the four high-level Orphic intertwined, forming an impenetrable net of pressure that pressed down fiercely on Kadoya Tsukasa.

Kadoya Tsukasa looked at the four people in front of him, a hint of seriousness flashing in his red compound eyes, but he did not back down at all. He gripped the card box sword and assumed a fighting stance.

Just as tensions were running high and another major battle was about to erupt, Momose suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of the shadows where Lin Chen was hiding. A cold glint flashed in her amber vertical pupils, and she shouted in a deep voice, "Lin Chen, come out!"
