Chapter 364 Chess
"Really? Why do we have to continue the competition?" Osugi Chuta sat in the audience and fanned himself quickly with a folded fan made of discarded paper. "Even if it's the principal's request, how can we continue?"

"But the students love it, and I also think the queen selection is a very good event." Sonoda Sarina smiled as she looked at the shining people on the stage.

She knew that her apostles had been eliminated, so she could go find a new target. They were not allowed to hand over the Star Disciple Switch to the next person before the previous one was eliminated, but now she could, and she was very happy.

"Yes, yes, the Queen's selection is a really great event." Osugi Chuta laughed repeatedly and secretly moved his wrist so that the wind could blow to Sonoda Sarana. He believed that being nice to Teacher Sonoda would definitely be rewarded.

At this time, the stage had been rearranged and most of the things were replaced. On the smooth wooden stage, three people were standing there, wearing dresses with complex patterns, exquisite makeup, and jeweled crowns on their heads, dressed like real princesses.

Fengcheng Miyu looked at the stage that she once avoided. Now she just wanted to defeat all her opponents here and fulfill the promise that she would not avoid.

"Get out! Get out! You don't have the right to stand here." The crowd below the stage was excited and began to expel her.

She looked at Jiang Xia sitting in the audience, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:
"I really hate some people who say they are giving me gifts but don't even ask me what I want. They write me letters but the words on them are a mess. If it were two days ago, I might have said that you are just obsessed with supporting other people's feelings and pinning your own wishes on others."

Feng Cheng Meiyu suddenly raised her voice, drowning out the sound of the entire venue, "But now, now I realize that I was extremely wrong."

Everyone in the audience fell silent, and a spotlight shone on Fengcheng Miu, making her, who was already beautiful, look like an angel.

"Because I found that each of you has your own life and your own joys and sorrows. Everyone is shining silently. I can't deny you without seeing your light. The queen is chosen by you."

"Each of your gifts and tickets is the light you possess. When these lights gather together, the shining queen will descend. I didn't understand this in the past, so I realized that I was really wrong, very wrong. No matter what the result will be today, I will face each and every one of you in the future. This is my promise and my apology."

"Only by gathering the light of everyone can we become the stars shining in the night sky. It seems that the psychological counseling this time is not bad." Jiang Xia smiled after hearing Fengcheng Miyu's words, stood up and applauded.

Jiang Xia's applause seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The people in the audience began to cheer. It was dazzling, too dazzling. The reason she was dazzling was because she inherited the tiny but inextinguishable light from everyone present.

"Thank you, everyone." Fengcheng Miyu's eyes were red, not because she was escaping or afraid of losing, but because she was moved and had hope. Although she seldom shed tears in front of others, she really couldn't help it this time.

At this moment, she felt that she had gained real recognition, which was incomparable to the previous two formulaic ones.

"Senior Miyu, don't cry! We will definitely support you." Someone shouted from the audience.

"Me too, it doesn't matter if you throw away my gift again!"

"Yes, even if you are considered garbage, we will definitely choose you!"

As soon as this kind of statement came out, the entire support team was instantly distorted.

Some suggested giving a piece of love paper directly so that the girl could experience the feeling of having her love torn into pieces. Some suggested giving a CD broken into two pieces so that Miyu wouldn't have to waste energy folding it. Others suggested giving a garbage bag directly so that she could hold the garbage.

"Thank you, everyone. I will keep all the gifts you send me in the future well. If I receive any letters, I will definitely write back."

Fengcheng Miyu, who was just feeling moved, was now in tears and laughter after hearing what they said.

If she doesn't stop, she will become a garbage collector. She still hopes that the gifts she receives will be liked by ordinary girls and not too outrageous. If she really doesn't like them, she will explain the reason and return them the same way.

"Then I'll be grateful for your guidance in the future." Fengcheng Meiyu bowed with a smile, tears hanging on her eyelashes.

"Please give me your guidance!" Except for a few teachers, almost all the students bent down subconsciously and responded.

This is not only a response to the fans' love, but also a self-introduction as a member of the Kamen Rider Club.

"Miyu-senpai's popularity is too outrageous, almost overwhelming."

Inside the Jade Rabbit cabin, Jojima Yuuki lay on the table, looking at the poster of Fuujou Miu, the three-time queen, and said:

"Our speeches were of no use at all."

Jojima Yuuki clenched his fists and waved them in the air twice:

"The teacher must have done it secretly, otherwise it wouldn't be so outrageous."

"Yuuki, I'm just a simple psychology teacher. I don't have such ability." Jiang Xia's voice followed him like a shadow, and directly scared Yuuki Jojima who was in the process of playing badly.

"Teacher, when did you come back? Why do you walk without making any sound?" Yuuki Kijima looked up and found Jiang Xia bending over and looking at her from behind.

"You're not the only one who has said this. I'm always like this, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. This skill is a compulsory course for teachers." Jiang Xia tapped Yuuki Kijima's head gently as a punishment.

"Okay, everyone gather together. I'll introduce our new members." Jiang Xia clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

"No way?" exclaimed singer Kengo.

"Fuucheng Miu, our new member." Jiang Xia moved aside, and behind him was Fuucheng Miu, who had changed into a sky blue school uniform.

"This is the Kamen Rider Club. It's unexpectedly good." Fuujo Miu said with a smile. She is obviously much more cheerful now, and not as arrogant as a dazzling gem.

But her next sentence was back to square one. Fengcheng Meiyu said, "First of all, I am the queen, and you must obey my command."

"No, you're just a member. There's no such thing as a queen in the Kamen Rider Club." Yuuki Kijima's mouth curled up high. The teacher would definitely not agree.

"That was before, when I arrived. You were the lowest-ranking soldier." Fuu Shiro Miu pointed at Jōjima Yuuki.

"Bishop." Fuujo Miu pointed at the singer Kengo.

"Knight (Horse)." She pointed at Kisaragi Gentaro again.

"Of course I am the queen, that's obvious." Fuujou Miu puffed out her chest and easily determined everyone's ranking.

"If a soldier wants to be promoted to a queen, he must reach the bottom line first. For example, if you win the queen election three times, you can be promoted."

"I'm so angry. Why should I be a soldier? If that's the case, then the teacher is the king." Yuuki Kijima said angrily.

"Of course, the king and the queen should be together." Fushimizu Miu looked at Shima Yuuki with an expression that you only just noticed.

How could there be such a person who doesn't even let his own teacher go?

"I'm not a soldier, I'm a chariot," Jojima Yuuki retorted. She didn't want to be a queen. "Don't make me laugh with your small body. You're obviously a soldier."

These two guys who were eager to create chaos in the world found that they could not convince each other no matter what, and the remaining two people were busy testing the new switch, so they set their sights on the only guy who could decide the ranking.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Two people squeezed in front of Jiang Xia at the same time.

"Rejected." Jiang Xia looked Feng Cheng Mi Yu up and down: "This is meaningless."

"Of course it makes sense. The queen (empress) should be with the king."

"First, you are a student and I am a teacher. Second, my aesthetic preference is long straight black hair. Third... there is no third." Jiang Xia said.

He just wanted to say that he already had his own queen, but saying it out loud would definitely attract their gossip. This item was not included in An's identity information, and there happened to be Fengcheng Miu who had checked his current identity information in front of him, so he gave up.

"Teacher, what about me?" asked Yuuki Kijima anxiously.

"You can be the other bishop. There are more than just a few chess pieces." Jiang Xia sent the two of them away as if he was coaxing a child.

Day by day, however, this layout still has some rationality in it, with a bishop who assists in management, a knight who fights, a king who is responsible for decision-making, and two soldiers with little combat power (referring to the two girls).

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia suddenly smiled. This was just a small game played when one was bored. There was no way it was really arranged according to the chess order.

The twelve zodiac signs versus sixteen chess pieces, it's really just a game.

Time is as unstoppable as the flow of mountain water. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening and the students' club activities were over.

Although the Kamen Rider Club is not a very large club, it still has its own rules. After everyone left, Jiang Xia yawned lazily.

It's another day of slacking off. It looks like there's nothing important for me to worry about today.

At this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly looked at the door of the Yutu cabin again, and the door was opened again.

He looked at her who had returned again and asked, "Did you drop something? Or do you have any new questions?"

"Well, I forgot to confirm one thing." Fengcheng Miyu said while looking at Jiang Xia who was sitting on the chair.

"Then ask questions. Answering questions and resolving doubts is a teacher's duty." Jiang Xia spoke as he looked at Feng Cheng Miyu who was standing in front of him carrying a small bag.

"Well... I want to ask, who was the name that was covered under the vote you wrote when you stood in front of my poster?" Fengcheng Miyu asked nervously.

"Are you that curious?"

"Well, because I looked in the ballot box, but I didn't see a single ballot for you."

On the night after the competition, she looked through all the contestants' tickets and wrote down the names of all the classmates who were willing to support her.

But the only ticket she didn't see was the one that belonged to Jiang Xia. She wanted to know who he voted for.

Although she won the competition and successfully entered the Kamen Rider Club, she still wanted to get the answer. The vote that she didn't have time to cast was very important to her.

Looking at Feng Cheng Mei Yu who looked serious, Jiang Xia sighed slowly: "Since you insist, then I will tell you."

Jiang Xia slowly reached into his coat pocket and took out the ballot that was left in his hand but was not put into the ballot box. Just when he was about to open it, Feng Cheng Meiyu suddenly stopped him: "Wait, I want to open it myself, is that okay, teacher?"

"Sure." Jiang Xia handed the ticket in his hand to Fengcheng Miyu without hesitation.

"Thank you, teacher. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, but next time you come in for the last time, remember to lock the door. Although not many people here know about it, you still have to be careful." Jiang Xia reminded Feng Cheng Meiyu as he looked at her leaving back.

"I understand, teacher." Fengcheng Miu's voice became longer and longer, like the drifting wind, unpredictable.

"It would be nice to know."

By the time Jiang Xia passed through the portal and left, it was already dark. He strolled through the dimmed campus with brisk steps, his heart filled with joy after school.

He knew that tonight would be another long and enjoyable night, and just like staying up late, he could squander his own time without restraint.

He strolled along the wide cobblestone path between the colleges. The red sunlight was about to disappear, and the night slowly enveloped the once bustling campus.

When he was about to finish walking the entire path, he felt as if he had entered the 'territory' of some ferocious beast. The chirping of cicadas in midsummer suddenly stopped, and it was as silent as a bone-chilling winter. There were no insects chirping, no sounds of students laughing and playing, and everything around him seemed to have been killed.

Jiang Xia's expression remained unchanged, and even his mood did not change much. The insects' sense of danger made them choose to remain silent.

He felt the pressure in the air, a force that could suffocate life to death, but to him it was a gentle breeze on his face and spring flowers blooming.

The huge shadow standing at the end of the path was changing and expanding. He felt this thrilling shadow, like a scorpion with its tail hook raised high.

Scorpio is one of the twelve zodiac signs. I don’t know what’s going on that makes it block people at this time.

Want a fight? That should be over soon. Jiang Xia approached it.

This Scorpio, wearing a golden robe, with his mouth open and his head covered by a facehugger, was obviously stunned when he saw that there was no fear on Jiang Xia's face and he even had an expression of expectation. Anyone would be afraid when facing this look, but he was not afraid at all, and he was worthy of being the one chosen by it.

"Do you want to gain power? Do you want to rule the world and defeat all enemies?" Scorpio said in an extremely low voice.

"Of course I do. So what can you give me?" Jiang Xia went straight to the point. They all knew each other well, so the process should be simplified if possible and there should be no nonsense.

“Then make a wish to the stars.” Scorpio handed over the most original constellation switch. This was different from those second-hand ones that had been blown up. There was no built-in constellation, but it guided the transformation according to one's own characteristics.

Apostle of the Constellation, I also want to know what constellation I got. It should not be calculated according to the month of birth, otherwise I will lose a lot. (Jiang Xia, Aquarius)

"Then let me see the limit of this little thing." Jiang Xia looked at the constellation switch in his hand, and the channel of power of the universe was opened at this moment.
