[MHCISQD] Chapter 250: Supernatural Incident?

In the following days, although busy, Renault was enjoying a particularly comfortable time.

Apart from the occasional evening when the girls gathered for a chat and leisurely activities, which they called their girls' club, almost every night Yaoyorozu would sneak over to his room.

It must be said that with that kind of body pillow, his quality of sleep significantly improved.

The cultural festival rehearsals were proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of the performance group, there wasn't a single true beginner. The second member to join, Tokoyami, had also received prior training, so now their goal is simply to refine their teamwork and improve their familiarity with the music.

As for Jiro, who was in charge of the main stage, there was no need to worry. She excelled in both guitar and vocals.

The only cause for concern would be the dance group.

Inside the rehearsal room.

"Midoriya! Don't be so stiff with your movements!"

"Mineta! Lift your hands higher!"

"Iida, you too! We're not trying to do a robotic dance!"

Dressed in sportswear, Ashido, who was the dance group's teacher, helplessly looked at the boys in front of her and said, "It seems teaching you the choreography right from the start was a bit challenging. Let's take a break for now. We'll start from the basics. At the very least, we can't have you all being so stiff."

""Phew!""

The boys stopped and sat down on the floor.

Midoriya wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Why is this more exhausting than actual combat?"

"Indeed, it's even more tiring than endurance running with weights," Iida wiped his glasses, which were stained with sweat, and asked Midoriya, "Were my movements really that stiff just now?"

Midoriya didn't know how to respond, but Kaminari walked over from the side, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "Isn't that how you usually are?"

"..."

In any case, the dance group still needed to put in more effort.

Friday arrived.

Today, they finally had to continue the work studies, which had been arranged in advance. The group rehearsal couldn't be done because Todoroki and Bakugo also had supplementary classes today.

Sitting on the bus, Renault, Uraraka, and Tsuyu arrived together at Ryukyu's office.

"It's been a few days, and I heard you guys are preparing for the cultural festival?" Ryukyu, who hadn't seen the three of them for several days, asked with a smile in the office.

Uraraka nodded and said, "Yeah, we've been busy with the initial preparations for the performances. I've never learned dance before, and it feels really difficult!"

Tsuyu chimed in, "Ochaco-chan is already doing great. In comparison, Ashido is working even harder. The progress on the boys' side is quite slow. By the way, Ryukyu, will you come to the cultural festival?"

"Me?" Ryukyu pondered for a moment and replied, "I did receive the invitation. If I don't have anything else going on at that time, I should come. U.A.'s events are always lively. But let's talk about that later. I have a rather special mission. Since you're here, are you interested?"

"Special?"

"Mission?"

The three of them became curious. It's not often that someone like Ryukyu, a top-tier hero, considers a mission to be special. And from the looks of it, this assignment doesn't seem to be very dangerous either.

They arrived at Ryukyu's office and waited for a few minutes until Hado also entered.

"Alright, now that all four of you are here, let's take a look at this mission," Ryukyu said.

With that, Ryukyu handed out four files, one to each person.

Renault opened the file and quickly scanned through it, his expression gradually becoming more peculiar.

Not only Renault, but the expressions of the other three girls also changed. Tsuyu and Uraraka felt a sense of horror, while Hado's mouth gaped open, revealing a surprised and curious expression.

"Ghosts? Hauntings? Is this for real?" Uraraka asked, feeling a sense of fear.

Seated in her boss chair, Ryukyu crossed her arms and said, "I can't say for certain whether it's true or not, but ever since a murder occurred in that standalone house, three different tenants have moved in, and none of them stayed for more than three months. They all claimed to have heard strange noises behind the walls or under the beds late at night. But when they searched for the source, they couldn't find any issues. After being tormented like this for a month or two, they all decided to terminate their leases."

After listening to Ryukyu's explanation, Renault nodded and asked, "What about the homeowner?"

"The homeowner is frequently abroad due to work. Shortly after purchasing the house, they had to leave for overseas. The previous tenant of the house committed suicide due to personal reasons, and then it remained vacant for half a year without finding any buyers. Finally, someone with enough courage decided to rent it out. And that's when these incidents started occurring," Ryukyu explained.

Listening to Ryukyu, Renault rubbed his chin and frowned, "This is troublesome. Setting aside the supernatural phenomena or whether ghosts exist, the fact that it only affects the tenants is hard to understand."

Tsuyu raised her hand and asked, "Have any other Pro Heroes investigated?"

"Yes," Ryukyu replied, "Several teams have gone, but they haven't found anything unusual. Even after spending a few nights inside, they weren't attacked or harassed."

"That's strange," Renault mused, stroking his chin. "Not to mention the paranormal activity, even the fact that it only targets tenants is unthinkable."

Initially, Uraraka only felt a bit disturbed, but now, listening to Renault's explanation, she grew increasingly frightened. "Could it really be ghosts?"

"Wow! Ghosts!" Hado's reaction was completely different from Uraraka's. She became very excited. "Ryukyu! Ryukyu! I want to go see!"

"That's what I had in mind. Since all of you are busy preparing for the cultural festival, along with your school classes and work studies, I didn't plan on assigning you a heavy mission. This one happens to fit just right. Many other heroes have had no issues, so I want you to investigate. If you find something, great; if not, it doesn't matter."

Hado's choice was already set, and Ryukyu looked at the other three and asked, "What about you three? Are you going as well?"

Both Tsuyu and Uraraka shook their heads, indicating that they had no intention of trying this mission. One reason was that it seemed far-fetched, and the other was that they were a bit afraid. Not all girls could face supernatural events with the same longing as Hado.

On the other hand, Renault was quite curious about the situation and said, "Then, I'll go. Whether it's ghosts or something else, we can't just leave it unattended."

And so, the temporary special mission had its participants determined.
