Time flies.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Ran drove the Decade Machine, heading from Jiudu to the capital city, Shenjing. He was traveling fast, expecting to reach the Dragon Tiger Knight Academy this afternoon.
The journey was relatively peaceful.
Nothing significant happened.
Passing by a certain area, he encountered two strange individuals.
But their strength was too weak.
They were no match for Chen Ran.
He didn't even transform.
With just the Card Deck Sword, he easily took two more heads. It was effortless for him, almost... incredibly easy.
Shenjing.
The capital of the Great Xia Nation.
Its prosperity far surpassed that of Jiudu, where Chen Ran grew up.
They were not on the same level at all.
He sped through the streets on his motorcycle.
The journey was not delayed for long.
Entering Shenjing, he used his phone's navigation and went directly to the Dragon Tiger Knight Academy.
It was still summer break, and school had not yet started.
There were few people near the school.
It looked deserted.
There was no sign of it being one of the Great Xia Nation's three major knight academies.
Chen Ran stopped his motorcycle in one smooth motion.
Then.
The motorcycle dissolved into data and disappeared.
Leaving behind the tall and handsome Chen Ran, standing before the magnificent gate of the Dragon Tiger Knight Academy.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Ji Yi, who was in charge of admissions for the Jiudu region, informing her that he had arrived at the school.
He was also looking forward to his upcoming college life.
Ever since the "Great World Change" and the rise of Kamen Riders as the mainstream in this world, Chen Ran's life had undergone a drastic transformation from what he remembered from his previous life.
In this life, he was destined for greatness, to be extraordinary.
Arriving at this highly anticipated school.
He wondered what his future life would hold compared to his memories, and he found himself looking forward to it.
Chen Ran stood at the school gate for a short while before a woman in a black suit, wearing black-rimmed glasses and appearing very capable, quickly walked out from the school.
"Excuse me, are you Chen Ran?"
She seemed to have hurried over.
Chen Ran nodded.
He was an exceptional admission student.
Different from ordinary students.
The enrollment process was naturally different, so it was good that he had informed Ji Yi in advance, saving him any unnecessary trouble.
"Hello, Chen Ran. I am Principal's Assistant Bai Lin. According to the information provided by Teacher Ji, your enrollment and dormitory arrangements have all been completed. I will take you there shortly."
"However, Principal Qin wishes to meet with you first. What are your thoughts on this?"
Bai Lin asked with a smile.
Her smile was gentle.
And infectious.
There was no hint of arrogance about her.
"Of course, no problem."
Chen Ran replied.
The principal of the Dragon Tiger Knight Academy was the esteemed Senior Qin Longhu, whose achievements were recorded in textbooks. Kamen Rider Ryuki, in the past, during the cruel era of spatial rifts and rampaging monsters, seniors like Principal Qin were the dawn that pierced through the darkness!
"Very well, please follow me."
Bai Lin said, and walked ahead.
Chen Ran followed.
The Dragon Tiger Knight Academy was vast, and the scenery was beautiful.
After about seven or eight minutes of walking.
Chen Ran followed Bai Lin to the principal's office...
