Kamen Rider: Evolution

The prison buildings also collapsed and exploded in the face of the fire, with huge noises and shockwaves continuously destroying the remaining prison structures.

Those prisoners locked in their cells, with no chance of escape, could only be consumed by this relentlessly burning flame.

The enormous horned giant on the wall nodded in satisfaction after hearing the wails and screams of agony.

Then, he walked step by step toward Sugimura Takashi, who had already fainted from the smoke.

They came into contact with each other, quickly merged, and in the blink of an eye, the shadows became smaller and smaller until they were completely integrated into Takashi Sugimura's body.

Just as the fusion was completed, another giant rock fell from the sky, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that violently pushed down the prison walls.

At this moment, the prison that had imprisoned Sugimura Takashi for more than 20 years was completely destroyed, and cracks appeared one after another, eventually spreading all the way.

Meanwhile, outside, red fire trucks were rushing to the scene at top speed.

People around the prison also evacuated, and everyone except professional firefighters stayed away from the area.

Nobody cares about prisoners escaping anymore; surviving is considered extremely lucky.

At that moment, Sugimura Takashi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the prison that was now just ruins, and felt the things around him still burning. He immediately turned and ran.

He used every ounce of his strength to scramble out of the fire, his body blackened by the smoke.

The raging fire subsided considerably after Sugimura Takashi fled.

Firefighters also clearly felt that the fire was under control and that it would be completely extinguished in a little while.

However, a prison couldn't possibly catch such a large fire out of thin air.

Chapter 68 Jiang Xia's First Day of School

Shinra High School, a morning that was neither sunny nor gloomy.

The students of this high school welcomed their legendary transfer student.

When the ordinary middle-aged teacher, wearing glasses and a gray coat, announced this news.

Excited shouts erupted in the classroom, followed by the sound of two unfamiliar footsteps on the tiled floor outside the door.

Instantly, the classroom fell silent, everyone watching expectantly as the figure entered.

The teacher placed both hands on the table, turned her head, and spoke to the two newly transferred students.

"Come on, let's introduce ourselves."

He then stepped down from the podium and gave his seat to the two special transfer students.

Jiang Xia nodded and, without fear, led Hong Du onto the podium.

The high school environment here looks no different from the ones he attended before.

However, their desks were completely empty, without the mountain of books, and the desks were made of ordinary wooden planks and bent iron pillars.

However, their energy and spirit were significantly better than those of normal senior high school students, and Jiang Xia also glanced at the whiteboard, which showed that the scheduled class time was pitifully short.

Perhaps the concept of "must win the college entrance exam" isn't highly valued here.

Depending on their needs for university admission, students can choose to pursue further studies or start working directly.

That's why they seemed so calm, showing no anxiety whatsoever about the upcoming college entrance examination.

Third-year students basically don't have any required classes in this last semester, which is why their schedules seem so empty.

For example, today, school will end promptly at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the blackboard, besides the timetable, is covered with scribbles of other colors.

They clearly used the blackboard as a drawing board.

However, Jiang Xia preferred the classroom environment, since it didn't matter if there was scribbles on the blackboard, as long as the classroom and seats were clean.

"My name is Jiang Xia, it's nice to meet you."

"My name is Hongdu, nice to meet you."

After speaking, Hongdu lowered his head slightly and bowed slightly.

Jiang Xia, on the other hand, did not make any movement at all, simply standing there calmly.

Clearly, Jiangxia was not used to the local customs at all.

"The environment here is alright." Jiang Xia casually twirled the pen in his hand and nodded.

His seat was in the last two rows by the window.

There is a huge window on the side, outside of which is a green lawn and a sturdy tree.

At that moment, sunlight pierced through the clouds and streamed through the windows, making the classroom bright and warm.

Meanwhile, Kurenai sat next to a girl named Kikkaki, but he seemed a little uncomfortable in the classroom environment.

Meanwhile, a few boys nearby saw Jiang Xia leisurely enjoying the sunshine.

They all simultaneously revealed a gloating smile, as if they were plotting something.

The school is too big, and there will always be a few 'rare species' who are different from ordinary people and build their own happiness on the suffering of others.

After all, in terms of appearance, both Hongdu and Jiangxia are handsome without making any other expressions.

Even Jiang Xia's overall temperament leans towards the elegant type.

If you come to school with a face full of scars and a muscular body, they naturally won't cause any trouble, but other situations are not necessarily the case.

Haven't you heard? Even nobles, unless they're the kind of people who are openly intimidating, receive special treatment, let alone transfer students.

Jiangxia's location seems to be completely empty around it, despite being such a good spot.

But no one sat there until Jiang Xia, a transfer student, took his seat.

From this perspective, the moment Jiang Xia sat down here, he seemed detached from the rest of the class.

Hongdu, who was standing nearby, also noticed this situation and wanted to stand up and sit down next to Jiang Xia.

However, before he could get up, the girl sitting next to him named Ji Xiaxi stopped him.

"You'd better not go, or you'll be punished too."

Looking at the empty seats, Ji Xiaxi said to Hong Du with a worried expression.

"Why? Is there anything special about that location?"

Hongdu asked Xiangji Xiaxi with a puzzled look.

“Once someone reaches that position, some of the students in our class will do some very bad things to them. The last student who reached that position was forced to drop out of school.”

"How could such a thing happen?"

Akari glanced at Natsuki in surprise, then turned to look at the teacher who had just arranged the seats.

His doubts were almost overflowing, even though he had never been to school.

But now at least he is able to keenly perceive all sorts of things, including people's emotions.

This teacher clearly knew there was a problem with the class, but turned a blind eye.

There were clearly other seats available in the classroom, but Mr. Jiang Xia was specially arranged to sit there.

"This is troublesome." Hongdu gave a wry smile.

"Yes, the transfer student who transferred with you is indeed in trouble."

When Ji Xiaxi heard what Hong Du said, she whispered to him.

"No, Mr. Jiang Xia will be fine. The real danger lies with the teacher who arranged the seating and those classmates who like to play pranks on others."

"Why?" Ji Xiaxi asked.

"Because I understand Mr. Jiangxia." Seeing this, Hongdu did not chat with Jixia Xi for long.

As far as Hongdu is concerned, if these people offend Jiang Xia, he will not help them.

Those classmates they'd never met and teachers they'd only just met—they could only pray for their own good fortune.

At Jiang Xia's prompting, Hong Du did not insist on sitting next to him.

Hongdu opened the newly issued textbook in his hand. This class was about physics, which introduced various formulas and experiments related to mechanics. What interested Hongdu the most was the important theory of force analysis.

……

As expected, the boring and tedious high school physics course has come to an end today.

And it was approaching 4 p.m.

The sun had begun to slowly set, and the sky took on an orange-yellow hue, becoming more delicate and soft.

The shadow of the big tree outside the window slowly began to distort, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Hongdu was sitting quietly in her chair, organizing the notes she had taken in class that day.

Jiang Xia remained seated in the empty seat.

However, the two seem to have changed quite a bit.

Hongdu read through all the books on mechanics and summarized a lot of useful knowledge. You could even say that he fell in love with physics.

And Jiangxia…

He was fast asleep, his hands resting on the desk, his head lowered.

It was as if the physics lesson given by that teacher was some kind of hypnotic compilation.

After listening for only 20 minutes, Jiang Xia felt an irresistible drowsiness rise in his mind, and then he vaguely fell asleep on the table.

It wasn't until almost the end of the school year that Jiang Xia slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the time on the wall.

The minute hand is almost at 12 o'clock, and he woke up with 5 minutes left before school ended.

On the ceiling of the bright classroom, in the shadows where sunlight cannot penetrate,

A small, colorful spider was diligently weaving its web, and directly beneath it lay Jiang Xia, who had just woken up.

"I didn't expect to encounter such trouble on my first day of school. Am I too outstanding?" Jiang Xia yawned.

Not far from the school, Takashi Sugimura, dressed in rags, stumbled and ran over.

He just didn't know why he chose to come here, and there was a madman chasing him.

"Kiva!"
