[MHCISQD] Chapter 266: Unknown Territory

"Senpai, where did he go?"

Holding her phone, Mikoto felt a sense of unease deep in her heart.

Meanwhile, Togata, who had been standing nearby, also noticed something unusual happening here.

Eri was being taken to watch the match by Uraraka and Jiro, so they hadn't noticed. Togata walked over and said in a lowered voice, "Don't worry just yet. Let me contact the others. Besides, you all know Renault's abilities, right? No one can harm him."

Mikoto took a deep breath and said, "Togata-senpai, earlier he mentioned that All Might needed to see him. Logically, he should still be at school, but his phone is unreachable..."

"With All Might?" Togata nodded. "I see."

He rubbed his chin and took out his own phone, walking away from the crowd of spectators. Several girls noticed and followed him.

In the crowd, Bakugo sensed something happening behind him and furrowed his brow. Being quick-witted, he had already realized that something might be wrong. "This festival... what a pain in the ass."

Meanwhile, Togata dialed Renault's phone, but it showed no service. Then, he dialed All Might's number.

The result was the same as Renault's.

"...It seems something really did happen." Togata's expression finally turned serious. Not only had Renault lost contact, but even All Might?

With this in mind, he dialed another number.

"Hello, Eraser Head, where are you right now?"

On the other end of the phone, Aizawa paused, looked around, and replied, "I'm on patrol. Today's mission is quite important. What's the matter?"

"Renault and All Might have lost contact; their last known location should be in the school building. Let's meet, head to Class 1-A's dormitory, and don't let others know."

"...I understand. I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Togata said to Mikoto, "Let's go to the dormitory. Eraser Head will also come soon. If something has really happened, we'll have to think things through."

As the group was about to leave, the other members of Class A also followed, their expressions unchanged, not drawing attention from others.

After a short while, everyone returned to the dormitory's lounge and took their seats. Iida, the class president, immediately asked, "Has something happened?"

Togata gently patted the frightened Eri's head and solemnly said, "Renault went to find All Might earlier, but then his phone became unreachable. The same goes for All Might - both of their phones show no service."

"No service?" Iida took out his phone and dialed Renault's number. "...Really no service. But if he's at school, there's no way his phone wouldn't work. Could he have gone somewhere?"

Mikoto shook her head and said, "If he had to leave for something, he wouldn't have done so without informing us, especially to a place where we can't reach him."

"Could something have happened?" Kaminari nervously asked. "But who in the school could pull off something like this?"

Just then, the door opened, and Aizawa hurried in.

His expression wasn't too good either. "On my way here, I checked the school building, but I couldn't find Renault and All Might inside. However, the surveillance footage outside the building did show them entering separately, but there's no footage of them leaving."

As soon as these details were revealed, everyone understood that something was definitely wrong.

Mikoto also tightened her grip on the phone and asked eagerly, "Aizawa-sensei, can you find out what exactly happened?"

"It's hard to say. I've already contacted the principal and several teachers who were patrolling near the school building. I even reached out to Nighteye. The school is starting an investigation, and Nighteye is analyzing the available information. For now, all we can do is wait..." Aizawa replied.

"Is waiting all we can do?" Mikoto furrowed her brow, forcing herself to calm down. She stood up and said, "I'll make a call to my mom so she won't worry and look for me."

By the way, she would also ask Yuriko if she knew any information.

After Mikoto went upstairs, Aizawa looked at the Class A students and said, "This incident hasn't been classified yet, but regardless of what happens next, you cannot disclose anything to the public, understood? If the public finds out about this, despite U.A.'s strong background, we'll attract unnecessary trouble."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Eri glanced around and then tugged on Togata's arm. In a lowered voice, she asked, "Renault-nii, will he be okay?"

Togata paused for a moment and smiled, saying, "Eri-chan, do you think Renault-nii is amazing?"

"Yes!" Eri nodded vigorously and said, "Very amazing!"

"Then there's nothing to worry about." Togata ruffled Eri's hair and said, "Just believe in him. He will definitely come back. But once he's back, he'll have to make us delicious food as punishment."

So, at this moment, where are Renault and All Might, who disappeared from the school?

After being engulfed by inexplicable darkness, Renault rarely felt a sense of being unable to control his body. He felt as if he were trapped in quicksand.

Then, after an unknown period of time, Renault was released from the darkness and fell to the ground.

*THUD!*

Turning his head, Renault saw that All Might was in the same situation, half-kneeling on the ground, catching his breath.

Standing up, Renault realized that they were no longer in the school.

The surroundings were pure white walls, with a surface area approximately the size of a football field and a height of about five meters. It was impossible to tell where they were.

All Might, regaining his composure, began observing the surroundings as well.

"It seems we've been brought to some extraordinary place by the other party. That ability resembles the one that All For One used during the battle of Kamino," All Might said.

Just as he finished speaking, a deep and elderly voice echoed in the space.

"No wonder you're All Might. Even without your strength, you remain calm after being captured. Welcome, the two of you, to my laboratory. Can I ask for your cooperation in conducting some experiments?"

*CLICK*

*CLICK*

Two crisp door-opening sounds resonated; Renault and All Might saw two tall humanoid creatures emerging from the white walls. This finally made them take things seriously.

"We've arrived at an extraordinary place indeed."
