Chapter 369

"What's wrong, seeing me like this, you're surprised?" Jiang Xia's voice suddenly changed, becoming devoid of any warmth.

Ruyue Xian Tairan saw Jiang Xia's transformed Scorpio, and he no longer dared to think further; each spike on the Scorpio's forehead pierced deep into his heart, causing pain, as if he were in hell.

"Teacher, you are the Twelve Constellations!" Ruyue Xian Tairan clenched his fists; now he feels more pain than when he learned JK deceived him.

If ordinary Star Disciples could still explain themselves with words, the Twelve Constellations have no room for excuse; they are the ultimate evolution of Star Disciples, and the key here is the appearance of Scorpio in campus activities.

"You've already seen it with your own eyes, there's nothing false." Jiang Xia said, as the robe on his body slowly slipped off, revealing the Scorpio's monstrous physique, the Scorpio Constellation on his head shining brightly.

"Why, why, teacher, you are truly a Star Disciple?" Ruyue Xian Tairan felt this genuine aura, gritted his teeth and spoke.

He is extremely perceptive, highly sensitive to the world's malice, and at the same time hates being deceived; although he craves friendship, he is no fool, the truly trustworthy people at Tianzhichuan High School can be counted on one hand.

Every companion in the Kamen Rider Club is like his true fingers; he can tolerate JK's betrayal, tolerate being used by him, although it's heartbreaking, after calming down he still wants to rescue JK from the Unicorn Star Warrior's hands.

But he cannot tolerate Jiang Xia's deception, because he is truly his first friend at Tian High and also his most respected teacher. But Scorpio is also the one who scattered the universe switches on campus, and everything is because of him.

Now the reality lies before him; whether he accepts it or not, it's like a mountain pressing on him, making him unable to break free.

He also realized that fighting Scorpio would feel strange.

It was the teacher who let the Unicorn Star Warrior go, leading to JK's capture; are Orion and Yanling Constellation the same? All of this is fake, fake!

"You already knew this, why are you surprised?" Jiang Xia lifted his hand, which had turned into a claw, "Is it because of this appearance? Actually, as long as different switches are used, people with special physiques can freely use other Star Disciples' powers, so one must be very careful during battle."

"I'm not referring to that." Ruyue Xian Tairan shouted, "Teacher, can you tell me whether the Star Disciple Switch is really something you taught to your classmates?"

"Is that important?"

"Very important."

"If I was indeed the person who used the Scattered Star Disciple Switch to experiment on students before, but now if I say I want to turn over a new leaf and join the side of justice, would you still consider me your teacher?" Jiang Xia asked.

Ruyue Xian Tairan remained silent for a long, long time. He stood here, head lowered, as if thinking, yet also as if bidding farewell; moonlight would illuminate his face, light and shadow intertwining.

You will always be my teacher; to accept someone you must accept all of his past, no matter how twisted, and I will not abandon any friend. After a long time, he lifted his head and spoke firmly.

"Alright, I'm really impressed with you." Jiang Xia smiled helplessly, "I have never spread any Constellation Switch."

As for JK, those who exploit good intentions and deceive others for their own selfish desires must be punished; there is no better way for the victim to vent their anger.

Jiang Xia's answer was very simple, omitting many unnecessary details, such as how he obtained the Constellation Switch, why he became Scorpio, where he went these two days; these questions were not answered because they were unnecessary.

Believing someone, even if they say just a "no," is enough to convince; for those who do not believe, even if someone recounts every minute of their actions from start to finish, they still will not believe.

"How about it, what's your answer? Will you fight me here and defeat me completely, or choose to believe what I say?" Jiang Xia said slowly.

After a long while.

"I believe you, teacher, you are not that kind of person." Ruyue Xian Tairan's clenched hand slowly loosened, and he walked toward Jiang Xia on his own. As the distance drew nearer, his body relaxed more and more, and he walked without resistance to the front of Scorpio.

"Ruyue, have you and the teacher finished? I have already tracked the location of the Power Switch, and the Unicorn Star Warrior is there too." Ge Xing Xian Wu said excitedly.

During this time he not only located the switch, but also formulated a new battle plan at the same time; even his anger toward Ruyue Xian Tairan just now gradually faded.

A friend's anger is genuine, forgiveness is genuine, true good friends and brothers are all the same.

"Xianwu, sorry, this incident is my fault; I won't do stupid things again, and I will never fight alone under any circumstances." Ruyue Xian Tairan apologized sincerely.

Trusting friends is necessary, but he will no longer hide things from Xianwu; he will speak openly.

"Hmm, I accept your apology; the Power Switch is on JK, and the location is the abandoned factory." Ge Xing Xian Wu smiled faintly.

"Teacher, I'm going first."

"Wait." Jiang Xia's Scorpion Tail behind him suddenly rose, "Let me treat you first."

A bluish-green Scorpion Tail suddenly stabbed Ruyue Xian Tairan; he froze for a few seconds, his heavy body suddenly felt light, and the wounds on his body were healing rapidly.

"The universe has come!" Ruyue Xian Tairan shouted, feeling his body filled with power.

"Answer the phone, please." JK listened to the hold music on his phone, constantly praying; he is now bound to a pillar with white nylon rope, surrounded by a somewhat dilapidated steel factory filled with dust.

This also means no one will suddenly come to rescue him; this godforsaken place basically sees no visitors; it is the execution site that Xin Tian Wenbo (Unicorn Star Warrior) spent a long time deciding on, convenient and swift, saving much unnecessary trouble.

Xin Tian Wenbo leaned against the rust-streaked railing nearby, listening to JK's desperate cries, the corner of his mouth turning up unnaturally as he played with the Constellation Switch in his hand; he knew that birds of a feather flock together, and what kind of person attracts what kind of friends; he had given an hour, as long as JK could call one of his friends, the game would end.

The end meant he would personally run JK through with a sword he had honed for a year in an instant; he had long decided that regardless of whether JK could summon friends, he would personally deal with JK, and now all of JK's friends dare not come for fear of trouble, making that sense of satisfaction in his heart almost overflow.

"Looks like there isn't a single useful companion." Xin Tian Wenbo, leaning on the railing, withdrew his gaze, straightened up, turned his head to look at JK, whose face was full of panic, and revealed a cruel smile.

"Please, let me go!" JK felt the gaze like a blade that wanted to flay and dismember him sweep over his body; his originally slightly dark face had turned as pale as paper, and the fear of death made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Sorry, time's up."

"LASTONE (last time)"

Xin Tian Wenbo's Star Disciple Switch held in his palm emitted a low sound; the originally pale white sphere's surface had blood vessels spreading, rotating like a real eyeball,

LASTONE is the final gate on the way to the Twelve Constellations; as the name suggests, once the switch is pressed, one cannot rely on oneself to turn back into a human; spirit and body will be completely separated, the body will be cocooned, and consciousness will enter the Star Disciple.

Such a Star Disciple has two possibilities: being defeated, with consciousness returning to the body, or surpassing LASTONE to reabsorb the body and evolve into the Twelve Constellations.
