"Are you really Shiraishi Shin? Aren't you Kamen Rider Cronus? How are you Kamen Rider Eternal now?"
Kisaragi Gentaro approached Shiraishi Shin. After de-Henshin, he scrutinized the Kamen Rider Eternal before him.
Whoosh~
Shiraishi Shin pulled out the eternal memory to de-Henshin. As a gentle breeze swept by, the rider armor disintegrated into fragments from head to toe, revealing the even more handsome face hidden beneath the Kamen Rider suit.
He said, "There's nothing strange about it. Isn't it normal for me to possess multiple Rider powers?"
"Is that normal?"
The three of them stared blankly at Shiraishi Shin. Hearing such a statement from Shiraishi Shin made them want to hit him. Normal my ass! You're the most abnormal one!
"Wait, Junior Shiraishi, I want to become stronger. Can you help me with special training?"
Witnessing Shiraishi Shin's power firsthand made Kisaragi Gentaro also eager to become stronger. Both fought Monsters, but one fought Zodiarts executives while the other fought ordinary Zodiacs; the gap between them was not insignificant.
"You want to become stronger, and then what?"
Kisaragi Gentaro scratched the back of his head. He just wanted to be stronger, what else was there?
However, he still braced himself and said, "And then? Then I can better fight the Zodiartss."
Shiraishi Shin's eyes sharpened. He said, "You became a Kamen Rider, you want to become stronger, just to fight the Zodiartss?"
"Huh?"
Listening to Shiraishi Shin's cold tone, Kisaragi Gentaro was momentarily suppressed. Was his answer wrong?
Shiraishi Shin looked at the silent Kisaragi Gentaro and said, "I ask you, as long as Monsters appear, Kamen Riders will emerge in response. So, why do Kamen Riders exist?"
Kisaragi Gentaro seemed to recall something and immediately replied, "Protection! To protect the humans attacked by Monsters!"
Shiraishi Shin nodded and said, "Exactly, protection. The nature of Monsters is to attack humans, and their reasons for attacking humans vary. Our existence as Kamen Riders is to fight to protect humans. We may not have dreams, but we can protect the dreams of others. Also, heroes never retreat from battle."
Kisaragi Gentaro immediately felt the weight on his shoulders, his playful expression gone. He said seriously, "With great power comes great responsibility, protecting the dreams of others! I understand the meaning of Kamen Rider's existence!"
Shiraishi Shin nodded and said, "Good. You must remember, these are not mere slogans, but things to be proven with actual actions. Only when you uphold these principles will you be a true Kamen Rider with Rider Spirit.
However, if you want to become stronger, I can't help you much; everything depends on your self-awareness. Tonight at 8 PM, wait for me at Nanshan Lake Park. So, I ask you, what should you call me now?"
A title?
Kisaragi Gentaro was a bit confused. Wasn't it just Junior Shiraishi or Wushuang? What else could he be called?
Jojima Yuuki thoughtfully said, "Gen-chan, you should call Junior Shiraishi 'Senior'."(Should I change it from senior to senpai or keep it as senior?)
"Ah, Sen... Senior?"
"That's right. You became a Kamen Rider after Junior Shiraishi, and now you're asking for his guidance. Most importantly, he's stronger than you, so isn't he a Senior?"
"I see."
Kisaragi Gentaro, with his somewhat simple mind, nodded in understanding, then called out, "Senior."
"Hmm, a teachable child indeed."
Shiraishi Shin left contentedly... "You mean, besides Fourze, a new Kamen Rider called Eternal has appeared?"
In the Chairman's office, Mitsuaki Gamou looked indifferently at Sonoda Sarina, who was kneeling before him, disheveled, ragged, and with torn stockings.
Sonoda Sarina trembled, cowering, unable to conjure any thought of resistance in front of Mitsuaki Gamou. Beside Sonoda Sarina, Principal Hayami Kouhei also hung his head like a guilty child, not daring to speak.
Sonoda Sarina stammered, "Y-yes, that's right. Fourze's strength is mediocre, but Eternal's is extraordinary. I fought him for dozens of rounds, and he only narrowly defeated me. Chairman, please give me another chance. Next time, next time I will definitely win, and I can also turn other students into Zodiartss!"
After speaking, she kowtowed to Mitsuaki Gamou. Because once she became useless, she knew very well what her fate would be: banishment to the eternal prison where even light could not escape, the Dark Nebula. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
"Hmph."
Mitsuaki Gamou could guess the situation from Sonoda Sarina's disheveled appearance.
Narrowly defeated you? You were almost beaten to death, yet you say 'narrowly defeated'. But saying so to survive is understandable.
Moreover, he indeed needed someone to get things done in the school.
Time passed minute by minute. Sonoda Sarina dared not look up. After Mitsuaki Gamou exerted enough pressure, he said, "Your identity has been exposed. Although those Kamen Riders won't publicize it, you can't continue to be a teacher. Instead, secretly give constellation switches to students and try your best to help them evolve."
Sonoda Sarina was overjoyed upon hearing the result. The feeling of surviving a disaster made her laugh uncontrollably, and she kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Chairman, for this opportunity. I will definitely make them evolve. Thank you, Chairman!"
Mitsuaki Gamou stood up, and the moment he extended his hand, an orange-red energy body, like a small sun, was held in his palm, about the size of a basketball.
"Chairman, what is this?"
Hayami Kouhei was startled as he looked at the orb, for he could feel the immense power hidden within it.
Mitsuaki Gamou said calmly, "This is a Supernova. It can allow Zodiarts -level executives to evolve again and possess even greater power."
"Supernova!" (Can you tell me what Supernova means? I looked it up on Kamen Rider Wiki and there's no such thing as Supernova.)(FYI I don't watch Kamen Rider Fourze so I don't know what this supernova means)
Hayami Kouhei and Sonoda Sarina stared intently at this energy body, both feeling an instinctive craving. Clearly, this item held immense appeal for them as Zodiarts s.
Mitsuaki Gamou turned to the kneeling Sonoda Sarina, a smile playing on his lips, "scorpio, I'm entrusting this to you. Don't disappoint me again."
He knew that scorpio would eventually have another battle with the Kamen Riders. He wondered if this Supernova he gave could overpower the Kamen Riders. It all depended on scorpio's performance.
At the same time, he was also experimenting.
"G-give... to me?"
Sonoda Sarina's excitement was evident on her face. With this powerful force, she might be able to get revenge and let the Chairman and Principal know that she still had value!
...Inside the gymnasium, this year's beauty pageant was drawing to a close, and all the spectators were voting for the participating girls.
Shiraishi Shin arrived just in time and received his ballot. He glanced at the ballot box; there were a total of eighteen, meaning eighteen confident beauties participated. However, Shiraishi Shin had said he would give his vote to Alya.
When the final votes were revealed, Alya had a decisive lead, ahead of the second-place contestant by over four hundred votes. The second-place contestant was even last year's champion.
After all, Alya's beauty was recognized by the entire school: fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, and silver hair. Among the participating girls, no one was her match.
Of course, if Shiina Mahiru and Chitoge Kirisaki had also participated, the choice of champion would be questionable, but since neither of them did, Alya undoubtedly won the championship, becoming the new Campus Queen, and her popularity soared even higher.
