[MHCISQD] Chapter 141: Before Departure

Renault, of course, was unaware that he had overlooked Yaoyorozu's thoughts. Although he had suspected that his plan might be discovered by her; he never expected that she would take direct action.

Well, in Class A, there were actually quite a few people who were proactive. Compared to the consequences of taking action, they were more unwilling to abandon their friends.

At 3 PM that afternoon, in the underground training ground of his house, Renault was sitting on the edge of a large hole, his body tattered and the upper body of his Rider armor in pieces, and the armor on his legs also shattered in many places, with only the belt around his waist was intact.

Finally catching his breath, he leaned against the shattered wall behind him and slowly stood up, then looked across the training ground at Evolto, who was also lying in a large hole.

Compared to him, Evolto's Rider armor was still intact, with only a horn missing from the helmet that had been broken by his punch earlier, and a crack on Evolto's chest from the blow he had taken.

"Whew..." Wiping the non-existent sweat off his helmet, Evolto stood up and looked at Renault, who was now out of strength and said with a smile, "I never thought that you could get this far with me going all out. I even thought you could hold on until the end of the time, and it seems that the greater the stress, the more you can surpass your limits. The training camp from a few days ago was still helpful to you. Do you remember that feeling?"

Hearing this, Renault looked at his right hand and slowly clenched his fist.

Originally, he could not have caused such damage to Evolto, but when he used his final finishing move and found that Evolto had used the black hole to teleport and appeared in front of him, he inexplicably felt a sudden feeling in his heart. Then the next moment, he appeared directly behind Evolto who had already teleported.

Even though Evolto had noticed this, he was still unable to defend himself and could only exchange a blow, which sent him flying.

After removing his armor, Evolto held a cup of coffee in his hand and took a sip, saying, "Kid, the Build Driver isn't something anyone can use. In the past, you would have had to undergo Nebula Gas adaptation. Although your physical fitness is good, this is a bit of a backward approach. So, during our previous training, I put some of our race's strength seeds into your body. Of course, this was within the system's allowable range."

"Originally, this seed would slowly germinate, and then I would guide you to develop the new strength. But I didn't expect your talent to be this good, even better than I anticipated. You have already vaguely touched the edge of space ability on your own."

"Strength... Seed? Are you talking about the kind of black hole strength that devours everything?" Renault couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Will I be influenced by this strength?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Evolto signaled him not to worry and slowly said, "You don't have my genes like Banjo Ryuga, so this is just a simple inheritance of strength. And you cannot attain my ability to devour planets, you have only gained the qualification to use the Build Driver and consider it as acquiring a second Quirk."

Multiple Quirks? And moreover, a space-type Quirk?

Seeing the excitement in Renault's eyes, Evolto quickly poured cold water on him. "Don't get too carried away. Although you demonstrated it once, I can tell that you used it subconsciously. You haven't fully mastered this strength yet; it will require extensive training. Only after you henshin with my two Fullbottles can you temporarily harness this power. However, for now, it should be sufficient for you."

After speaking, Evolto also threw a bunch of things at Renault.

Driver, Fullbottle, as well as a black-and-white Trigger.

"It's almost time. Rest for a while and then you can leave. I hope you can achieve good results."

"..."

After packing up his things, Renault looked at Sento and then at Evolto.

"Teach me your skills when I come back."

"Of course, how much you can learn depends on yourself."

Leaving the training ground, Renault took a shower, changed into black clothes, put on a duckbill cap, and was ready to go.

Motorcycle, he also didn't plan on riding it because of its appearance. If he rode it out, it was easy to be detected and recognized, so it was safer to take the train.

"Senpai, where are you going?"

Just as he left the house, he heard Mikoto's voice, who had already been gone for an afternoon, coming from the corner. Stopping his steps, he took a deep breath and turned around to see her holding a box of pastries.

"Oh, Mikoto, I have something to take care of outside. What's up?"

"Well, I made some pastries at home in the afternoon and wanted to bring them for you to taste. Your outfit... what are you going to do?"

Her initially happy mood gradually cooled down after seeing his attire.

She was not stupid but rather quite clever. Combining last night's events, what he told her during the day, and his current outfit, she had a general idea.

"Are you going to save them?"

"Of course not." Renault would never confirm it and shook his head. "The Pro Heroes will handle it, and All Might will also take action personally. I'm just going to find someone and take care of something."

"Senpai!" Mikoto shouted before walking up to him, looking at him seriously. "We've known each other for a few months now. Do you think I don't understand you? You can't stay silent forever when something like this happens! You must be going to the villain's place."

"..."

Gazing into her eyes, Renault could only sigh.

"I can't lie to you."

He habitually rubbed her hair and said, "Yeah, I'm going to investigate the Nomu manufacturing site."

"It's too dangerous!"

"Don't worry, I'm confident and there won't be any danger."

"But..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.

"Se-Se-Se-Senpai..."

"Mikoto, thank you for your concern." Lowering his head and smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, Renault smiled and said, "I won't do it without confidence. Even if there is really any danger, I have a trump card to escape, so don't worry."

"Senpai..."

Releasing her, he looked at the box in her hand and said, "If it's pastries, can I eat them after I come back tonight?"

"Then... Senpai, please return safely."

"Of course."
