[MHCISQD] Chapter 201: The News Arrived
Added 2023-05-22 20:15:10 +0000 UTC"Renault, you really went all out!"
While eating, Kirishima felt uncomfortable under the strange looks of people around him.
Meanwhile, Midoriya chose to remain silent, quietly eating his food.
"I just made a suggestion to you all. Until the end of the school day, regardless of any injuries you sustain as long as they aren't serious, don't go to the infirmary to heal. This is a test of your resilience in harsh environments." Renault took a bite of his fried pork cutlet and swallowed, smiling. "So, it's not entirely my fault. You have to abide by your own promises."
"Then why are Uraraka and Asui exempt?" Kirishima pointed to Uraraka sitting next to Midoriya and Tsuyu beside Renault. The two girls didn't have a scratch on them.
In reality, they did have some minor bruises, but Renault had eased off before they could sustain more serious injuries.
Renault shrugged in response. "Because of their Quirks, they definitely won't engage in direct combat. They primarily focus on maneuvering and support, so you two are my main training candidates."
"Renault-kun!" Suddenly, Uraraka looked at him with a stern face and said, "We should continue training this afternoon and take it seriously. Even if I might not be effective on the front lines, I don't want to hold anyone back!"
"I feel the same way," Tsuyu nodded. "I know Renault-kun is afraid of us getting hurt, but if we want to become Pro Heroes, we shouldn't fear getting injured. Besides, we're still in school, and Recovery Girl is here, so we don't need to worry too much."
"No, it's not that I'm worried about that." Renault shook his head, feeling some toothache. "I'm just worried that if other girls find out, they'll accuse me of being unaware of chivalry and propriety. You know, especially Ashido, she's definitely the type to speak her mind."
"Emmmm~~~~"
Everyone turned their heads to a nearby table where Ashido was eating and chatting with several girls, Kaminari, and Sero. They all nodded.
"We'll keep it a secret."
"After all, Renault-kun is doing this to help us."
Seeing their determination, Renault gave up struggling and agreed.
However, during the afternoon training, he still held back some force. They could feel the pain, but as long as the injuries weren't too severe, they would heal quickly.
After the afternoon training ended, he told them to go back to the dormitory while he went to a small office in the teaching building as prearranged.
All Might was already waiting there.
"It seems like you've been training the whole afternoon, Young Renault." All Might greeted Renault with a smile as he entered.
With his injuries healed, although he no longer possessed One For All, All Might, who had gained new strength from him, was in a good mood.
"It looks like you're in good shape, All Might. I have something important to discuss with you."
As Renault sat on the sofa, his expression turned serious.
"Hmm?" All Might noticed the change in his expression and realized that something had happened. He asked, "Is there some trouble?"
"It's not easy to say... The main issue is the trouble it brings. Just to be safe, I decided to inform you."
Then, he proceeded to explain about the Shie Hassaikai and the medicine capable of destroying Quirks.
Originally, this was something that couldn't be revealed to All Might because everyone believed he was no longer the former No. 1, and retirement was the only path awaiting him.
But who would have known that the current All Might had regained powers that were not inferior to those of the top Pro Heroes?
After nearly 20 minutes of explanation, recounting the events, and the content of the meeting with Nighteye, Renault finally stopped talking.
All Might, who had been attentively listening the whole time, was now visibly filled with anger, which was clearly evident on his face.
"This is outrageous! They dare to use an innocent young girl to create such a dangerous thing, without any regard for her well-being! It's inhumane!" All Might slammed his bony fist on the coffee table and sighed. He looked at Renault and said, "Young Renault, by telling me all this, what do you intend to do?"
Shaking his head, Renault replied, "Firstly, we don't know where that girl is being hidden, so I might not be able to join the operation when the time comes. However, if she's not in the Kanto region, I'll go there under a different identity. I hope that at that time, All Might, you can accompany me and stay hidden, in case Shie Hassaikai has any countermeasures. Furthermore, we also need to be cautious about the role played by the League of Villains in all of this."
"The League of Villains, huh..."
In All Might's mind, Shigaraki Tomura's face appeared, and he nodded silently. "I understand. This is indeed the best course of action. As for me, I am no longer suited to appear in public, and society truly needs to learn how to maintain peace without relying on symbolic figures. However, as long as I still possess strength, I will not allow evil to run rampant!"
For the next half an hour, Renault and All Might continued to discuss a series of matters. This included arranging for Renault's hero license to cover his Evolto identity. They began making preparations, estimating that they would be able to start once things on this end were settled.
After the discussion, the two people left the office as if nothing had happened.
Over the next two days, Renault continued with his usual routine of studying and training. Midoriya and the others also devoted themselves to rigorous training.
Finally, late at night on the third day at school, the news arrived.
Renault and the other four gathered in the dormitory's hallway, each holding their phones.
"It's here. Operation day," Renault said, looking at the message on his phone. "It seems that Sir Nighteye and his team have completed their investigation."
Looking at the four people in front of him, Renault continued, "The message has been sent to us, indicating that our names will be among the members participating in the operation. Everyone, be prepared. Tomorrow, we head to Sir Nighteye's office."
"Finally come?" Kirishima clenched his fist and spoke in a low voice. "I've been waiting for this... for a long time."
Midoriya, beside him, also silently tightened his fist.
