"Stop! We don't need to fight!"

Ryou flew out an open window into the entrance of U.A., as Decade leaped down in front of him.

"I disagree."

Ryou, who was transformed as Kamen Rider Zi-O, blocked an incoming punch from Decade, but didn't anticipate Decade would shove him back, and with a powerful force of energy, knocking him back into a pillar.

"Fine then. You wanna fight? Let's go." Ryou took out another Ridewatch, a familiar red Ridewatch. "Henshin!"

"Armor Time! Change Beetle! Kabuto!"

Ryou transformed into Kamen Rider Kabuto, and readily stood in front of Decade.

"Clock up!"

"Clock up."

Ryou's speed intensified as he charged towards Decade. But before he could even land a hit, Decade somehow matched his speed as well.

"Clock up."

He can use the Clock Up ability too?!

Decade and Ryou both launched into a fury of blows to one another, each not giving an inch. To the normal eye, it was faint images of Ryou and Decade flashing rapidly, with sounds of hit after hit.

Finally, Decade landed a blow to Ryou which caught him off guard, and knocked him on his back.

"Clock over." Came from both sides.

"You forget, Soutou. I'm better than you." Decade said cooly.

Ryou sat up, groaning in pain. "Not...yet...I'm not done yet." He managed to stand up, and grab another Ridewatch. "One more..."

Decade sighed, and de-transformed.

"Wait, what?! What are you doing?"

All Might immediately showed up behind Ryou, standing proudly with the same smile on his face.

"I must ask you both to stop now." He said, helping Ryou up. "Before you both tear up the school.

Tsukasa nodded as he approached Ryou. "So...you've seen what I can do. Make no mistake, I will be keeping an eye on you. After all..." Tsukasa leaned in close to Ryou. "I haven't made up my mind how I feel about you yet."

With that, Tsukasa strolled away, to walk back into the school.

"What the hell, All Might?! So what, he just mops the floor with me to assert his dominance and just takes off?"

All Might shook his head. "Ryou, please calm down. Mr. Tsukasa...I think he was testing you. To see what he has to work with."

"Test me?"

"Yes, well, he did mention he's never trained anybody before. He's assisted some Riders before...but not as far as training one. I feel this is a new experience for him as well, so he's learning as well."

Ryou rubbed his right shoulder, a small jolt of pain running through it suddenly. "Yeah...learning...he has a funny way of showing it."

"Nevertheless. You will be interning for Mr. Tsukasa. He felt it was best that he would help you during this time. And like he said...he's in need of your help as well."

All Might began to walk away, but turned to Ryou one last time. "Make no mistake Mr. Soutou. This will be a great chance for you develop your powers. I even have a small wager. If you meet and possibly exceed Mr. Tsukasa's expectations...I'll give you this."
