Chapter 36 - King? Nothing special.

(I'm back baby, my business isn't as much as I thought, but for the next update, it will probably be 1-2 chapters every 2 days, maybe there will also be a bonus if there are around 50 power stones.)

================================

"I call this move the Great Fire Annihilation. When you report to hell, just say the name of the Shinigami, Shiraishi Shin, and you'll be exempt from the toll fee!"

Shiraishi Shin's yellow compound eyes gleamed with golden light. He turned sideways and thrust his palm forward, instantly unleashing a massive wave of flames like a tsunami. The flames landed on the ground, destroying the earth and continuing to spread along the ruptured surface.

"These flames, there's no escaping them!"

Watching the overwhelming flames, the Arch Orphnoch felt despair. Even before they touched him, he could feel all the moisture in the air evaporating.

Because the fire was too vast, too tall, and incredibly fast, no slower than his own speed, he despaired. He couldn't escape it, and its power was immense. He didn't believe he could withstand it, after all, it was Kamen Rider Eternal's ultimate attack.

"Boom!"

Flames exceeding six thousand degrees Celsius directly engulfed the Arch Orphnoch. Under such high temperatures, the Arch Orphnoch was incinerated without even the power to resist, not even a single fragment of his body remained; he was directly vaporized.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling Shiraishi Shin's cape. His golden compound eyes stared indifferently at the scorched earth ahead. The topsoil had vanished, leaving only the soil beneath the concrete, and visible heat distorted the space above this scorched land.

"A king? Nothing special."

Shiraishi Shin pulled out the eternal memory, and his Rider armor instantly disintegrated into fragments from his head down, disappearing.

Those few close-combat exchanges just now were indeed a good warm-up, but although the Arch Orphnoch was a king, his strength was limited, and his performance still left him a bit disappointed.

Mainly, the Arch Orphnoch's energy skills were completely countered by Shiraishi Shin's absolute defense cape.

In Okada Yuriko's stunned gaze, Shiraishi Shin walked up to her and said, "Teacher Okada, I've kept you waiting. Let's go."

Looking at the tall and handsome boy in front of her, Okada Yuriko's eyelids twitched twice. She said, "Shiraishi-san, is this what you meant by not being confident, is this what you meant by possibly dying?"

Shiraishi Shin showed no embarrassment in the face of Okada Yuriko's questioning. He said, "Teacher, I said I didn't have 'absolute' confidence, and that I 'might' die. But it seems the Arch Orphnoch was all show, or perhaps in response to your encouragement, I subjectively unleashed even greater power. I'm quite surprised myself."

Okada Yuriko's cheeks felt slightly warm. She naturally knew that what he was saying now was nonsense. Although she was a mature 24-year-old woman, she was also a single woman who had never had a boyfriend, so she was still somewhat innocent when it came to matters between men and women.

Especially since her first kiss was given to the man in front of her, her tone softened as she said, "As long as the Monster is defeated, it's fine. Let's go."

"Okay."

Shiraishi Shin rode the eternal, carrying Okada Yuriko away from the battlefield.

After dropping Okada Yuriko off at her doorstep, she said to Shiraishi Shin, "Shin, about that... kiss just now, you don't have to dwell on it. I know you didn't do it on purpose. After all, in battle, no one can guarantee absolute victory; there's no general who always wins."

"Teacher, how can I not dwell on it? After all, that was my first kiss, and I wonder if it was yours too..."

Okada Yuriko looked into Shiraishi Shin's eyes and replied, "That was my first kiss too."

Hearing this, Shiraishi Shin gave a hearty smile. "Don't worry, Teacher, I'll never forget it. See you at school."

Okada Yuriko opened her mouth, watching Shiraishi Shin ride away on his motorcycle, and finally could only sigh, touching her lips.

Recalling Shiraishi Shin's handsome face, his powerful strength, and that first kiss that had been with her for 24 years, her previously calm heart began to beat faster, and her mind couldn't help but wander.

"No, no, I'm his homeroom teacher, how can I think such things? I need to go lift weights to calm down."

...Walking to school with Shiina Mahiru, Shiraishi Shin checked the kill information in his system in his mind.

He could see that after the lottery draw yesterday, it had been zero, but now it was five. In other words, the Arch Orphnoch he killed counted for five ordinary Monsters.

"Is this based on strength or status?"

Unfortunately, Shiraishi Shin's system was idiotic and couldn't engage in intelligent conversation. He remembered reading novels in his previous life where systems could converse fluently with hosts and even trick them. Compared to that, his blank slate system wasn't bad.

"Brother Shin, what are you thinking about?"

(I will be Shiina's nickname for Shin from brother Shin to Shin-kun and big brother Shin to Shin-nii)

Shiina Mahiru saw that although Shiraishi Shin next to her was looking forward, his eyes seemed unfocused.

Hearing the beautiful girl beside him speak, Shiraishi Shin ended his thoughts and then looked at her, teasing, "I'm thinking, with a girl as cute as Mahiru, other men look at me with hostility, thinking 'get away from that beautiful girl' in their minds."

"Hehehe."

Shiina Mahiru covered her mouth and chuckled twice. Although Shiraishi Shin's words were a bit exaggerated, they sounded very pleasant to her ears.

Upon arriving in class, Chitoge Kirisaki greeted Shiraishi Shin with full energy, "Good morning, Class Monitor."

Shiraishi Shin replied, "Good morning, Kirisaki-san. How have you been feeling at school these past two days?"

Chitoge Kirisaki nodded, "Not bad, the school atmosphere is great, and I'll work hard to fit in."

"No need to rush, take your time. Haste makes waste, and don't force it; just let nature take its course."

"Thank you, Class Monitor."

Chitoge Kirisaki said gratefully, watching Shiraishi Shin take his seat. In truth, she didn't have many friends because her family protected her too well, coupled with her mafia background. So, since she could remember, Shiraishi Shin was the only boy she could talk to as an equal and consider a friend.

"Good morning, Shin."

As Shiraishi Shin sat down, another person greeted him: Alya from his right.

Shiraishi Shin nodded, "Hmm, good morning, Alya. You're quite early."

Alya said proudly, "Of course, I'll always be earlier than you."

"Is that so? Then keep up that momentum and continue to work hard, alisa-san."

Shiraishi Shin suddenly felt that his life now, apart from fighting Monsters, was spent interacting with beautiful women. Is this my 'Dragon Among Men' daily life?

Hearing Shiraishi Shin's address, Alya corrected him with dissatisfaction, "Call me Alya, no other names are allowed."

Shiraishi Shin indulged her slightly, "Alright, alright, Alya."

After hearing this, Alya narrowed her eyes and whispered contentedly in russian, "This name sounds much better."

When class time arrived, the homeroom teacher, Okada Yuriko, entered the classroom wearing her teacher's OL outfit.

She first placed her textbook on the podium, then looked up at the more than thirty students in front of her, smiling as she said, "Class, I have some good news to tell you. As the weather gradually warms up, this Saturday, the school will hold a Summer Camp activity. All teachers and students from the first and second grades will attend, while the third-grade seniors will have separate arrangements from the school."

(To the readers, I apologize because I changed Shin's nickname too often. Maybe some readers feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I apologize once again.)
