[MHCISQD] Chapter 210: Return to School
Added 2023-05-26 20:09:47 +0000 UTCRenault accompanied Eri, while on the other side, after Recovery Girl healed several injured people, Aizawa received an urgent contact.
"What? The League of Villains attacked the vehicle holding Chisaki Kai in custody? Did they rescue him?" Outside the hospital room, Aizawa asked in shock while holding his phone.
"No, they didn't come to save anyone, but..." The police officer on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment before finally explaining the situation.
The Pro Hero responsible for guarding Chisaki didn't die from the attack; he only sustained injuries. As for Chisaki himself... his hands were taken away. When the rescue personnel arrived in time, they found his hands had undergone a decaying phenomenon, and they couldn't be reattached through surgery.
Moreover, there's even worse news: a box containing the fully intact Quirk-destroying bullets that were seized for analysis has been stolen.
After listening to the information, Aizawa put down his phone, his expression becoming clear.
"I see. So, the relationship between these two sides, or rather the League of Villains' intentions towards Chisaki Kai, was never about deepening cooperation but solely for that Quirk-destroying drug? There are five bullets in a box, and if they use them in critical places, it'll be truly troublesome."
Shaking his head, Aizawa walked toward the end of the corridor. He needed to quickly report this matter to the principal.
Although today's operation against the Shie Hassaikai achieved perfect results, there have been several unexpected developments in the aftermath.
Aside from Chisaki losing his hand, unexpected incidents also occurred during Gran Torino and the police's operation.
During the pursuit, they did encounter League of Villains members, but they were also obstructed by a formidable enemy.
Gigantomachia, a giant which also the loyal servant of All For One.

After spending an afternoon with Eri, Renault left the hospital and went back home.
Togata and Midoriya take turns guarding the hospital, and there are other people here, so there's no need to worry.
"So, it's finally over. Those guys are really weak. Indeed, gangs are just gangs, without any real strength," Renault narrated, and Yuriko sneered contemptuously, saying so.
"Well, I can only say that Chisaki Kai's ability was too obvious for me to counter. He does have some strength, but there's still a gap between him and me," Renault said, raising his hand and making a small gesture by touching his index finger and thumb together. "Just a slight distance."
"And within this slight distance, there's a whole universe, huh? What a lame joke," Yuriko obviously knew this joke and exposed his antics before continuing to read her book.
Shrugging, he glanced at the time, got up, and went upstairs to change his clothes to pick up Mikoto after school.
Meanwhile, he was unaware that there would be many unexpected situations following today's actions.
U.A.
Inside the principal's office.
Principal Nezu, Aizawa, All Might, and Nighteye were sitting on the sofa, engaged in a discussion.
"Have the items been taken by the League of Villains? Although it's not a good thing, we can only be thankful that there were only five bullets. We must now protect that child and prevent any further accidents," Principal Nezu, upon learning of this matter, looked towards Aizawa. "Aizawa-kun, how is the protection of Eri-chan going?"
"After receiving a series of messages, we immediately arranged for a secret transfer. Eri is now living in our secret safe house, accompanied by Midnight, Recovery Girl, Ryukyu, and Togata Mirio. The location of the safe house is known to only a few people, with no records kept. Safety is not a concern," Aizawa replied.
Principal Nezu nodded and said, "We must protect Eri-chan at all costs and prevent any further harm. Since U.A. has taken on this responsibility, we must safeguard her. Now, the next matter at hand is the appearance of Gigantomachia."
Gigantomachia...
As soon as this name was mentioned, both All Might and Nighteye's expressions became grave.
Gigantomachia, a powerful giant who had been a loyal servant of All For One, had always been one of All For One's strongest forces.
And this time, Gigantomachia, who had been hiding and evading capture, had finally emerged. Moreover, he brazenly appeared before the police and heroes pursuing the League of Villains, causing them considerable losses.
"That guy appearing signifies the League of Villains... Shigaraki Tomura is beginning to gather strength, consolidating what remains of All For One's legacy," Nighteye analyzed, then glanced at the silent All Might sitting beside him. "Don't see him as Shimura Nana's grandson anymore; he's truly a villain now."
All Might shook his head and said, "I know, but what's more important is Gigantomachia has really shown up, and there will surely be a major battle in the future. The destructive power Gigantomachia can unleash is definitely not to be trifled with, and he's also highly skilled at hiding himself. After this recent appearance, he vanished again. Who knows what kind of disaster will unfold when he resurfaces?"
"As for these matters, All Might, you don't need to worry too much," Principal Nezu said with a smile. "Since it has appeared, the committee will definitely not allow such a powerful threat to enter the range of causing destruction. Although pursuing him may be troublesome, we will undoubtedly make thorough preparations in advance when it truly comes to combat."
This won't be the first battle against Gigantomachia. Compared to the past, this time they will certainly be fully prepared. Even though they lack the former first-line strength of All Might, they still have confidence.
"..."
All Might clenched his fists, finally making a decision, and looked at the three of them. "Give me some time. I want to show you something."
Although All Might wouldn't expose Renault, he still decided to lend a hand.

The next day.
Upon receiving the notification and learning that Eri had been moved to a safe house, as well as the following situation regarding Chisaki Kai and the League of Villains' movements, Renault and Midoriya returned from their respective hero offices and went together to the hospital. They were accompanied by Kirishima, who had fully recovered, and the group returned to U.A.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, the rest of Class A who had been waiting there immediately swarmed around them.
"You finally came back!"
"Why didn't you tell us about such a big incident!?"
"We were instructed not to disclose any details..." Kirishima said with a bright smile, still wearing a band-aid on his face.
Yaoyorozu chimed in, saying, "We saw the reports, and the destruction at the scene was quite extensive. It's really great that everyone is unharmed."
"But we can't say everyone is unharmed. Kirishima-kun had quite a tough fight back then," Tsuyu looked at Kirishima and said with a smile, "And he successfully blocked the enemy's attacks, showing outstanding performance."
Kirishima rubbed the back of his head and said, "Hahaha, it was just so-so. If we're talking about exaggeration, Renault is the one who's exaggerated! Even though I didn't see it myself; I heard it from others later. He was fighting the villain's leader head-on alone."
Everyone's attention turned towards Renault.
