[MHCISQD] Chapter 169: The Exam Begins and The Strongest One

Facing Yaoyorozu's question, Renault was a little surprised but still answered, "I act alone, don't worry. My recent training has yielded some results. Acting solo is easier for me to handle, and I will also provide support to everyone. This exam is more difficult than we expected, and the stress of competition is greater. We cannot afford to make mistakes."

After a semester, Renault had already established himself as a core member of the class. He was always able to step up at critical moments and give the most accurate instructions, even Bakugo rarely argued with him in such situations.

The trust that everyone had in him was surprisingly high.

Even the once arrogant and overbearing Bakugo had to restrain himself because of Renault's constant pressure. He hoped to find a chance to prove himself in this exam.

Although Yaoyorozu was still a little worried after hearing Renault's explanation, she thought back to the night when he suddenly appeared in her room and knew that this person was definitely hiding something important.

She had also considered whether Evolto's appearance at Kamino to help All Might was related, but there was too little evidence and she could only keep that suspicion in her heart.

Soon, the props were distributed, and then everyone felt intense vibrations in the surroundings.

"What's going on?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

The next second, everyone saw the four walls around them collapse outward, revealing the outside scenery.

The entire arena had quietly been transformed into a super large exam field with various types of terrain - cities, mountains, buildings, highways, waterways, you name it.

"I believe each of you has your own strengths and weaknesses in different terrains, so please use your Quirks well and do your best," said Renault, looking around the field. "Sure enough, everything is so troublesome," he added.

Because of Renault's presence, everyone was not shocked or panicked and had already become alert. Those with strong combat abilities even surrounded their teammates who were good at interference and control in the middle.

The first round of the exam officially began.

On the other side, Aizawa and Joke were sitting together in the audience, watching the situation in the exam.

Joke covered her mouth and laughed, "Eraser Head, your zipper's down!"

Even Aizawa, who was usually clear-headed, had reached the verge of exploding after being tormented by her for so long.

Joke, who knew Aizawa well, immediately stopped joking and said, "I didn't expect there to be a full twenty people. It's rare to see you not expel students. Looks like you really like this class."

"Not really."

"Haha~ but isn't it strange? You shouldn't be unaware of what's going on, right?"

"Is that important?" Aizawa replied calmly.

Joke looked at Aizawa with a face of disbelief and said, "There has always been a custom for the provisional hero license exam. This exam is held nationwide and the only disadvantage that U.A. students have is not knowing the Quirks of their opponents. In the face of this situation, schools that know the Quirks of U.A. students will definitely develop tactics specifically targeting them."

"And?" Aizawa still had a dismissive look on his face.

This finally made her unable to hold back and she slammed the table, saying, "Hey hey, you should understand, your class students will become the first choice targets! Have you forgotten about the Crushing of U.A. tradition?!"

"Joke." Aizawa didn't answer, but instead asked a question, "When is the sports festival held?"

"Huh? It's been a few months."

"Do you really think that these students are still at the same level as they were during the sports festival? And we also know about the flaw of exposing their Quirks, but in the end, we still maintain the sports festival custom, which is a test for our students."

At this point, a smile appeared on Aizawa's face. "Crushing of U.A.? I hope they understand the roles of the prey and the hunter. If I had some concerns before, then this time is different, since the strongest student in this whole venue has completely grasped the situation. Even if I don't say about it to them, do you think those students don't know?"

Seeing the smile on his face, Joke felt inexplicably nervous.

The strongest in this whole venue? Grasping the situation? What?

Looking at the field, Joke found that the U.A. group had scattered a few people, but the bulk of them had been moving forward as a group. The only person who hadn't joined in from the beginning was Renault, who was advancing alone.

"Oh wow! They've found someone who's separated!"

"That's our cue!"

Renault, who was advancing alone, was soon surrounded by a group of six people, and a bunch of balls were immediately thrown at him densely.

Three targets. Renault placed one on his abdomen and two on his shoulders. Despite facing these thrown balls and his opponents enclosing him, he remained completely calm.

"Six people, two balls each, that's twelve, right? I thought I could attract more people, but it seems I'm still too low-key."

As he spoke, Renault disappeared along with two of the balls that were thrown at him just as they were about to hit him.

"He disappeared?"

"Isn't his Quirk's ability to control air, as well as the ability to isolate and reflect things?"

It seemed the sports festival really had exposed their Quirks, but not completely. Their growth potential and development directions had not been thoroughly investigated.

Not only Renault, but Midoriya was also probably overlooked by everyone.

*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*

The next moment, a series of collision sounds echoed as all six people who surrounded him fell to the ground without knowing what had happened. Five of them were unconscious, and only one guy was still conscious.

He quickly hit both of the conscious guy's targets with the two stolen balls and then hit the last target with his own ball, resulting in all three targets on the guy's body being hit at the same time.

"Good, one elimination quota completed. Let's go see how the others are doing."

Sensing the huge field, he disappeared immediately.

After two weeks of training, Renault not only practiced his ultimate move but also made remarkable progress in his black hole teleportation ability. His spatial perception was now incomparable to what it was before. Today's exam was the perfect opportunity to showcase his abilities.

Meanwhile, Midoriya's group and Iida's group who were moving forward together were surrounded by many people which include Shindo from Ketsubutsu High.

However, they did not show any signs of nervousness or fear on their faces.
