[MHCISQD] Chapter 216: Most Likely Lost

Inside the provisional hero license supplementary training venue, after completing the course, the group, with the help of those brats, cleaned up the scene before preparing to leave.

Although this course had come to an end, there were still other courses to attend in the afternoon. They only had a short break at noon. Based on their experience from previous classes, the afternoon courses were the truly exhausting ones.

As Todoroki conversed with the incessantly talkative Yoarashi beside him, he pondered over the identity of the middle-aged man who had appeared by All Might's side earlier.

Although he had never met him before, the fact that he could have such a cheerful conversation with All Might indicated that he wasn't a simple character.

"Ohh! The morning course ended perfectly. Those kids are really full of energy! Katsuki, I'm already looking forward to the afternoon--"

*BOOOOM!*

Before Yoarashi could finish his sentence, a loud explosion reverberated in everyone's ears, causing the entire venue to shake violently.

Bakugo quickly stabilized himself and looked around, frowning. "What's going on? A villain attack?"

Then, after the loud noise, the people felt a sudden rise in temperature around them, followed by a rapid drop.

This intense heat...

Although the high-temperature heatwave lasted only a few seconds, Todoroki was the first to notice it.

It was the extreme heat emitted by his father, Endeavor, when he was engaged in a serious battle.

But a battle? Here?

Just as the group was filled with uncertainty, they heard the voice of their instructor from behind.

"Why are you still standing here? We still have courses in the afternoon. Why don't you take this opportunity to rest? I'm exhausted and need a good nap." With dark circles under his eyes and disheveled hair, the instructor leisurely walked over and said.

Todoroki directly asked, "Um... about the noise and the high temperature just now..."

"Oh, that?" The instructor scratched his ear and said, "You don't need to worry about that. It's just an exam taking place in another location, a momentary Pro Hero exam. As for the commotion, if you find it too noisy, I can give you some earplugs."

"..."

Pro Hero exam?

Excitedly, Yoarashi exclaimed, "Someone is actually conducting a Pro Hero exam at this time? And it's a momentary one? Hey, Katsuki! Shouldn't we go and take a look?"

"Well... I'm not so sure about that," Camie interjected. "I don't think they would allow us students to casually enter and observe a Pro Hero exam."

"That's true..." Yoarashi agreed, nodding with crossed arms. Then he smiled and said, "In that case, let's go knock on the door and ask for permission!"

"..."

Meanwhile, Bakugo had already taken the lead and was walking toward the source of the sound. The other three exchanged glances and followed suit.

At the same time, inside the exam hall.

At this moment, Renault had already donned the Evolto Black Hole Form. With a wave of his hand, he absorbed the spear of flames that Endeavor had projected into the black hole and then turned around, opening another black hole and returning it to his opponent.

*BANG!*

The fiery punch and spear of flames from Endeavor collided once again, unleashing a burst of heat.

Meanwhile, a few examiners stood inside a deployed protective shield, watching the match alongside All Might.

All Might, observing Renault effortlessly handle Endeavor's attacks, asked, "Don't we need to stop and reach a conclusion?"

The elderly man at the forefront shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I can tell that Evolto knows his limits. He didn't go all out in the fight but rather showcased his abilities to us. I believe that if he were to get serious, his combat prowess would far exceed what we've seen so far, easily overpowering Endeavor. Although Endeavor's flame abilities have become stronger than before, he is being heavily countered. Despite Evolto's mysterious identity, with your recommendation, All Might, I think we can already draw a conclusion. What do you all think?"

"The combat prowess is exceptional and can compensate for the current shortcomings in our high-end forces."

"His Quirk, when used in specific situations, can be remarkably effective."

"It's similar to U.A.'s Thirteen-sensei's Quirk but more controllable. It would definitely be a great asset in disaster rescue operations."

"While there may be some concerns regarding his identity, we can trust All Might's judgment and give him a chance."

With unanimous approval, the elderly leader stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright, you two can stop now."

Renault was the first to withdraw and took a few steps back.

"Hahh... hahh..." Endeavor, looking at Evolto who had ceased his actions, took a few deep breaths and glanced deeply at his opponent. Then, he snorted and walked silently towards the exit without uttering a word.

No one among the onlookers tried to stop him, and Endeavor's actions differed significantly from his usual demeanor.

The elderly leader watched Endeavor's departing figure and spoke in a lower voice, "Hmm, this might be a good thing after all. Setting that aside, Evolto-dono, congratulations on passing our exam. Please take a rest for a while, and your hero license will be delivered to you soon."

*BANG!*

The door swung open, and Endeavor walked out of the hall in silence, just in time to see Todoroki and three others approaching.

Yoarashi also noticed Endeavor and his initially excited expression immediately changed to a cold glare.

Endeavor, however, didn't pay attention to the reactions of the others. He simply glanced at his son and walked past the four people without looking back.

As he passed by Todoroki, Endeavor said, "Study well."

Then he left without turning his head.

After Endeavor left, Bakugo spoke up, "Endeavor's breathing rate was extremely fast just now. It must have been him from the previous battle."

"Endeavor? But isn't the ongoing exam for Pro Heroes?" Camie asked, and quickly realized, "Could it be that Endeavor was fighting against the person participating in the exam?"

Everyone looked towards the open gate and discreetly approached.

However, just as they were about to reach the entrance, the door closed loudly.

*BANG!*

"..."

How frustrating!

Camie could only turn to Todoroki and asked, "Todoroki-kun, can you ask your father who he was battling just now?"

"..." Todoroki remained silent for a few seconds, then disregarding any potential awkwardness with his father, he said directly, "No need. Judging from his appearance just now, he most likely lost."

The three of them stared in astonishment.

Endeavor, the No. 2 Hero, lost? How powerful must the other person be? Could it be another All Might?
