[MHCISQD] Chapter 253: Easily Resolved
Added 2023-06-17 18:45:10 +0000 UTCAfter having dinner, Renault placed the cutlery in the dishwasher and returned to the living room. There, he saw Hado rubbing her stomach lazily, leaning back on the couch.
"I don't want to move anymore..."
Rolling his eyes, Renault reluctantly poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
"Thanks!"
Taking a satisfied sip from the teacup, Hado said, "Renault, your cooking skills are really good. They're even better than some restaurants! Too bad I won't be able to taste them again in the future..."
As she spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Renault.
"Senpai, as a beautiful girl, can you not be so obvious?" Shaking his head, Renault replied, "If Senpai has free time, you can come to our dormitory for a meal together."
"Hehe, that sounds good!"
With the expectation of satisfying their appetites, Hado finally remembered their mission for today.
"Renault! Renault! When are we going to find the ghost?"
"Let's wait a bit longer; it's still too early." Shaking his head, Renault calmly sipped his tea and said, "Senpai, as I mentioned before, it might not necessarily be a ghost. It could be a more ferocious creature."
"What could it be then?"
Renault didn't answer; instead, he opened his laptop, clicked on an email, and turned the screen toward her.
"Oh? Isn't this the person who committed suicide in this building?" Hado looked at the character profile on the screen, a bit confused. "What's the issue with this?"
"This deceased person had a Quirk called Materialization, which is quite ordinary. It's similar to one of our classmates in the hero department Class 1-B. His Quirk allows him to solidify air and form cages for defense and other purposes," Renault analyzed while looking at the information. "According to the data, the reason for this person's suicide was a relationship dispute. Our teachers have mentioned in class that when emotions are intense, Quirks can also fluctuate."
Upon hearing this, Hado's eyes instantly lit up. "Are you saying that at that moment, his Quirk underwent a change in its ability?"
"It's very likely, but we need to confirm it later. For now, let's rest."
"Ah, you're leaving it halfway without giving a solid answer! I'm sure you've figured something out!" Hado looked at him dissatisfied.
To that, Renault only smiled mysteriously.
For the next period of time, the two of them completely relaxed and adjusted their state of mind. Hado watched dramas with the laptop, while Renault chatted with Mikoto and Yaoyorozu on his phone.
However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was becoming even more tired, mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, they finally made it to 11 PM in the evening.
Putting away his phone, Renault, accompanied by the eager Hado, headed to the master bedroom upstairs.
Neither of them wore their hero costume today, and Renault didn't ask Hado to change because they were indoors and didn't need to prepare for a battle. If all went well, they could handle it in one go.
Inside the master bedroom, they didn't turn on the lights and instead relied on the moonlight permeating through the windows to provide some visibility in the room.
"Renault! Renault! How do we find the ghost?"
Renault remained silent and surveyed the room.
After waiting for one to two minutes, Renault finally spoke. "It's well hidden; we'll need other means to detect it."
After saying that, he took out two Fullbottle: Unicorn and Phoenix.
"Ohh!" Hado saw the Fullbottle for the first time and looked at the blue and fire-red bottles with curiosity.
"What are these? Are they new support equipment?"
"They're what will bring out the culprit."
After speaking, Renault shook the Fullbottle with both hands, and the contents of the two Mythical Beast Fullbottles immediately overflowed, colliding and intertwining, generating a hidden yet immense energy in the room.
It was an incredibly powerful but also warm energy.
However, in contrast, as this accumulating and amplifying energy emerged, the temperature in the other half of the room began to decrease.
From the dark shadow on the floor, a white humanoid figure slowly appeared in front of the two people, pale all over with blood-red eyes staring at them.
"Oh! A ghost!" exclaimed Hado.
"No, it should be called an Evil Spirit." Renault corrected her, gripping the Fullbottles and looking at the eerie figure in front of them. "In the face of imminent death, the resentment within oneself triggers a dramatic change in one's Quirk, resulting in soul materialization and a series of transformations, of course, all heading towards a darkened path."
"AHHHHH!!!"
Suddenly, the Evil Spirit roared at the two people, but in the face of the intimidating energy before it, it dared not advance.
Hado, witnessing this scene, immediately took out her phone and started taking eerie photos. Simultaneously, she asked, "But with its appearance like this, it should be quite lethal. Why haven't there been any casualties?"
"This guy was a coward in life, so in the end, he chose this pathetic way to die. Even though he turned into an Evil Spirit like this, I don't think it would attack unless pushed to the limit. Of course, the situation now is already the limit." Renault explained.
After saying that, Renault glanced at Hado, who had finished taking the photos, and directly walked towards the Evil Spirit.
"AAAHHHH!!!"
The Evil Spirit roared and lunged at Renault with its claws.
However, Renault that got enveloped in the radiant energy of the Unicorn and the fiery energy of the Phoenix, didn't even need to dodge. He simply watched as the Evil Spirit crashed into the energy barrier and then began to burn with blisters all over its body.
"Indeed, these two things are quite effective against spiritual enemies," Renault remarked.
Feeling the pain, the Evil Spirit instinctively sensed the threat to its life and immediately turned to flee.
"Nope, I won't let you escape," Renault declared.
Energy surged from Renault's body, manifesting as the figures of a Phoenix and a Unicorn. In an instant, they penetrated the Evil Spirit's body.
"Although it's derived from a person's soul, Evil Spirits like this mustn't be allowed to remain," Renault stated as he put away the Fullbottle. He then turned to Hado and said, "Well, the mission is over."
"Yeah, I've already sent a message to Ryukyu!" Hado put away her phone and her eyes turned towards the pocket of Renault's jacket, clearly curious about the Fullbottle.
"Don't even think about it. This is my secret weapon, not something you can play with," Renault suddenly said, knowing her intention.
"How ab--"
"There are no conditions for me to say yes!"
"Fine..."
With the mission over, the two people naturally couldn't stay there overnight. After leaving the now safe residential building, Hado chose to spend the night at Ryukyu's apartment, discussing the mission's progress. As for Renault, he decided to return to school.
After the two people left, a group of individuals arrived at the house under the cover of night.
"Was that energy just now emanating from here, Dabi?" Toga looked at the ordinary-looking house with confusion.
Dabi nodded beside her and said, "I sensed it with my flames. I don't think I'm mistaken. Let's go inside and take a look."
With that, the group knocked on the door and entered.
