[MHCISQD] Chapter 265: Intruder and Disappearance

In Renault's hands were files containing Gentle's past information.

As it turned out, that guy had also wanted to become a Pro Hero when he was young and attended a regular hero training senior high school. However, due to issues with talent and character, he repeated several years and failed the provisional hero license exam for four consecutive years.

During an outing, he even impulsively disrupted a Pro Hero's rescue operation, causing the injured worker, who could have been saved, to suffer severe injuries and require months of recovery.

In the end, he was expelled from school due to the various reasons mentioned above.

Afterward, he became the current Gentle Criminal, someone who only excelled at escape and never engaged in combat with Pro Heroes who tried to stop him.

After reading through Gentle Criminal's information, Renault realized that there was no information about his little sidekick, La Brava.

All Might noticed Renault looking up at him and said, "We couldn't find any information about that little girl. Firstly, because La Brava is not her real name, and secondly, the other party disguised herself, making it impossible to recognize her original appearance. We can only narrow down the search by focusing on girls who have gone missing in recent years, which will take some time."

"Well, that girl doesn't really matter," Renault replied, putting down the files. He looked at All Might and asked, "So, you're planning to go after them?"

"With a combination like that - someone who initially wanted to become a hero but went astray, along with a young girl. I've been thinking about what to do since you bumped into them last month. But you sent them all abroad during that encounter, and they disappeared and remained hidden until today. So, my plan was postponed until now."

Taking the files handed over by Renault and putting them away, All Might said, "I'll take care of this matter."

"Since you say so, I don't have any objections," Renault replied, getting up from the sofa. He asked, "Are you not going to attend the festival?"

"I just watched your performance, and there are some things I need to take care of. Maybe later in the afternoon. You shouldn't linger here either; it's a once-a-year event, so relax and enjoy it. By the way..."

Stopping Renault, who was about to leave, All Might's expression turned slightly serious as he said, "That little girl, Misaka Mikoto, though she has good talent, her personality resembles yours in some ways. She tends to act impulsively and recklessly based on her strength, but her strength is not enough to support her actions in various situations. Today's incident was fine since I was watching from a distance and nothing happened. But when you go back, make sure to have a good talk with her. Tell her not to act impulsively in the face of any situation she encountered, understood?"

"Understood. I will talk to her."

"Alright, alright. I've taken up quite some time as an old guy like me. Go and join the others quickly." All Might waved his hand, starting to organize his materials for the upcoming work.

"Then, I'll leave."

Turning around, about to leave, Renault's hand froze on the doorknob.

Not just him, even All Might, sitting at the desk, also stopped.

Both individuals turned around simultaneously, their expressions serious, and then they looked upward.

Upstairs, there was something present, an unfamiliar and eerie aura.

To avoid drawing attention, All Might continued with his usual stride, while Renault opened the office door and walked out.

Both of them headed towards the stairs, engaging in a hushed conversation.

"The upstairs is the office, right?"

All Might nodded, "The second-grade office, but on my way back, I noticed that all the second-grade teachers had been taken away by the students to relax and participate in the activities. And that feeling... you sensed it too, didn't you?"

"Yes, it was a sudden presence, as if it appeared out of thin air."

Frowning, Renault adjusted his breathing and spoke in a lower voice, "It's a space-type Quirk, and the person seems to be familiar with the school environment, directly appearing in the teacher's office when it's empty. All Might, who do you think it could be?"

"What I'm sure is, It's not a good fellow." All Might had already put on the Typhoon Belt that he took out earlier underneath his coat. "You know? We've been wondering since the first invasion by the League of Villains and the subsequent forest training camp incident if there might be a traitor within the school leaking information. It is indeed a possibility, but there's another possibility: a villain with a unique ability, a ghost-like power that allows them to come and go freely, even more special than your black hole ability."

"What exactly is going on? We'll find out when we take a look."

During their conversation, two individuals had already arrived at the corridor on the third floor and approached the office, taking light steps.

Both of them weren't worried about the villain's strength. Even if All Might lost One For All, his current power was still formidable, not to mention Renault, who was already advancing towards Level 5 and became terrifying once he unleashed his full strength.

"Hmm? Disappeared?"

However, just as the two individuals stood in front of the office door, they noticed that the strange aura inside had vanished as if it had never been there in the first place.

Frowning, they were about to open the door to investigate when Renault suddenly turned around, alert.

All Might also sensed that something was amiss at the same time.

But as the two turned around, all they could see was darkness.

===

On the other side, at the venue of the Beauty Pageant.

The members of Class A, along with Eri, Yaoyorozu, Mei, and Mikoto, strolled all the way here after gathering together.

"Hey? Isn't that Kendo from Class B?" Kaminari pointed at the stage, where Kendo was dressed in a gorgeous gown, performing a bare-handed wood-board-breaking technique. He exclaimed, "Is Class B really that fast?"

Kaminari's voice attracted attention from the crowd.

Tetsutetsu from Class B turned his head and waved, saying, "Hey, Class A! Come over here and watch together!"

After reaching Class B's location, Kirishima fist-bumped Tetsutetsu and asked, "How did you guys get here so quickly?"

"Because the class president is participating in the competition of course!" Tetsutetsu replied with a laugh. "Although we encouraged her to do so! But why didn't any of your girls participate? No matter who joins, they should be quite popular, right?"

Yaoyorozu: "Um... I'm not really comfortable with it."

Uraraka: "It's embarrassing."

Tsuyu: "Not interested."

Jiro, Ashido: "We didn't even have much time for rehearsals, who would think about this?"

Hagakure: "No one can see me, so..."

Leaving aside these trivial matters, everyone shifted their attention to the competition.

After surveying the surroundings, Yaoyorozu glanced at her phone and eventually approached Mikoto, speaking in a lower voice, "Mikoto, do you know where Renault-kun went? It's been quite a while since we agreed to explore the festival together."

Mikoto was also aware of this, but it was a bit awkward, and Mei had a similar expression. Because of what happened in the morning, it was indeed difficult to explain.

"I'll call him and ask."

With that, she picked up her phone and dialed Renault's number.

"I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is out of service."

"Out of... service?" 

Mikoto thought she might have misheard and dialed the number again, but the result was the same. 

"Senpai, where did he go?"
