[MHCISQD] Chapter 242: Protective Measures

Upon seeing the Nomu, Renault could only helplessly halt his pursuit of Dabi's footsteps.

This Nomu was not coming towards him; its flight path was directed precisely at the floor they were attacked on. If Renault didn't intervene, the Nomu would undoubtedly crash right into it, with unimaginable consequences.

Even an ordinary Nomu possessed combat capabilities that surpassed those of most Pro Heroes, let alone the pampered sons and daughters who had never faced danger in their ivory towers.

As for Yaoyorozu, although she possessed fighting prowess, it was unrealistic for her to confront the Nomu while also protecting others.

"For today, I'll let you go," Renault muttered.

Glancing at the decorations and pipes between the floors, as well as Dabi making his way to the ground, Renault turned around and positioned himself in the Nomu's flight path.

He didn't instruct Yaoyorozu to organize personnel for defense or evacuation. Renault took a deep breath and raised his right hand.

"Although I can't quite reach the level of throwing the universe like a frisbee in 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann', I can still imitate the boss's moves. Always being a rookie isn't a good thing, after all."

In his hand, a chaotic black-purple energy condensed and, under his control, formed a sphere. Although it appeared to rotate slowly, the surrounding space gave off a faint sense of imminent rupture.

Slowly, Renault compressed the sphere in his hand, feeling the tremendous energy within.

"Now that my Vector Manipulation is progressing, I'm becoming more proficient with this ability," he remarked.

Raising his head, Renault observed the flames igniting all over the Nomu's body as it resembled a bomb rushing towards the hotel. With a casual swing of his right arm, Renault generated a curved blade of surging energy that flew toward the Nomu.

As for the name of this technique - Spacial Rend? Subspace Tear?

Well, he is not Palkia!

In the blink of an eye, the attack reached the Nomu, who possessed little intelligence and even less than the previous Nomu. It just mindlessly charged forward.

The next moment, everyone on the street, in the surrounding buildings, and even the people behind Renault witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Space was cleaved open.

The dark purple blade permeated through the Nomu without any hindrance, extending from its front to its back. A ten-meter-long chasm split open the space.

The Nomu, now divided into two, lost the strength to continue its flight and screamed in agony. The shattered space engulfed it, and as it was eliminated, the fragmented space quickly closed up as if nothing had happened.

"Done, let's call it a day." Renault clapped his hands, satisfied with the power of this move. It was a technique he couldn't use during his usual hero work.

The power of the technique was too overwhelming, and that posed a dilemma.

Turning around, Renault flew back into the banquet hall, crossing the chaotic ground to reach Yaoyorozu and Mei.

"All right, the danger is over. Let's leave this place."

Just as he spoke, the doors of the banquet hall swung open, and several injured bodyguards and hotel security personnel rushed in, visibly relieved to see that no one had been abducted.

"Miss!"

The bodyguards of Yaoyorozu and Mei rushed over to report. Together, they made up a team of about ten bodyguards. Today was a lucky day as no one lost their lives, although a few individuals sustained severe injuries.

On the other hand, although no one was kidnapped or held hostage, two people were killed by members of the League of Villains at the beginning.

But these were not the matters Renault needed to consider. After surveying the scene, he picked up his phone and dialed Aizawa's number.

"Aizawa-sensei, everything is under control here. I have eliminated four members of the League of Villains, leaving only Dabi who managed to escape. He had a Nomu as his retreat plan, but I have taken care of the Nomu as well."

On the other end of the phone, Aizawa listened to Renault's report and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Well done. What about the people from the corporations and prominent families at the scene?"

"Two unfortunate souls tried to attack at the beginning and ended up being killed in self-defense. The others only suffered minor injuries." Renault replied, glancing at the bodies being attended to by hotel staff and covered with white sheets.

"I see. That's already a good outcome. The police should have arrived by now. After giving your statement to them, take Yaoyorozu and Raiden Mei back to the school. We have taken over Raiden Mei's protection duty." Aizawa issued his final instruction before hanging up the phone. He had a lot to arrange on his end as well.

After ending the call, Renault was approached by Yaoyorozu, who was holding Mei's hand. She asked, "Renault-kun, what did Aizawa-sensei say?"

"And how's my father?" Mei was clearly concerned about her father's safety, especially considering what Dabi had previously mentioned - the League of Villains' target was not only her but the entire ME Corp.

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Renault replied, "Once the police arrive and we give our statements, we can leave. I assume all of this has been communicated. Mei, you'll come with us back to U.A. As long as you're in U.A., we can ensure your safety. As for your father, President Raiden, there shouldn't be any major issues. You'll receive the specific information once we're at U.A., I believe Aizawa-sensei will tell you."

Mei silently nodded, but her worry remained.

The police quickly arrived and approached Renault directly, starting to document the series of events that had just taken place.

During the documentation process, they gained a deeper understanding of Renault as a student at U.A. It was fortunate that he was present today; otherwise, the consequences would have been severe. It should be noted that those present here today were descendants of major corporations and influential families. While some may not be the first heirs, their kidnapping would still cause a significant stir.

As the central figure of the incident, Raiden Mei, the heiress of ME Corp, who was the primary target of the League of Villains, was also called in for routine questioning.

When asked why she was targeted, Mei shook her head and replied, "I don't know much about the company's affairs. I only occasionally visit the company to see my father, and I'm not even aware of the recent projects they are developing."

Mei's response raised no further questions. After all, a simple investigation into her recent schedule would reveal the truth.

After the statement process concluded, the police did not hinder Renault and the others. With their gaze fixed on them, he activated his teleportation ability, and the three of them instantly returned to U.A.
