[MHCISQD] Chapter 111: Relaxation
Added 2023-04-06 20:21:34 +0000 UTC"Ahh... a whole semester has gone by so quickly."
Upon arriving home, Renault parked his motorcycle, went into the house, opened the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of cola, and then sat on the sofa while turning on the TV.
As he watched the entertainment program on TV that lacked much humor, Renault reflected on his life during this past semester. Although a semester may not be long, it's not short either.
In these few months, quite a few big and small things happened.
He successfully entered U.A. and took the first step towards becoming a Pro Hero. Shortly after enrolling, there was a villain invasion, and he met his only family member, his younger twin sister. He even encountered All Might's lifelong enemy, All For One.
Afterward, there were events like the Sports Festival, Internship, and the Hosu incident, one after another, each with a significant impact.
"Even the Final Exams at the end were eventful, with All Might becoming a teacher in an extraordinary manner. Ah, our class should be the liveliest in U.A. history," Renault exclaimed, taking a big gulp of cola with a sense of joy.
"However, the Forest Camp..." Renault looked at the instructions left on the coffee table and contemplated, "The strengthening training, although it also has relaxation parts, I believe most of the time will be spent on honing our Quirks. I wonder what unique and peculiar methods the school will come up with."
Renault had experienced firsthand U.A.'s unexpected teaching methods throughout this semester, often being subjected to simulated training he had never encountered before, exaggerated and intense basic training, or simulated battles targeting the weaknesses of his quirk.
However, it was exactly because of this that U.A. had always been the top school for developing heroes in Japan, with an unshakable position.
With a *Glug~Glug~Glug* Renault finished the bottle of cola and burped contentedly, then collapsed onto the sofa, saying, "Ahh... summer vacation has arrived, and the Forest Camp won't start until next Monday, so I have a week off? It feels a bit strange suddenly."
After school ended early today, Renault returned home before evening. Feeling relaxed, he unknowingly fell asleep. He didn't know how long he had slept until he heard the sound of his phone ringing.
Reaching out and picking up the phone from the coffee table, Renault saw that it was a call from Mikoto.
"Hello... Mikoto..."
On the other end of the phone, Mikoto, who had just left the school gate after finishing school, heard Renault's drowsy voice and couldn't help but say, "Senpai, are you resting?"
"Ahh, I came home early today, so I accidentally fell asleep." Renault sat up from the sofa, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the clock. It was already four o'clock.
"Do you need anything?" Renault asked.
"Hehehe, well, it's like this, my mom... went on a business trip again."
"I see. Where are you now?" Renault already had a good understanding of Misuzu's unpredictable work schedule. But he wouldn't refuse to take care of Mikoto, after all, having a lively and cute junior sister next door to accompany him for meals was something he wouldn't reject, right?
Moreover, leaving a girl alone at home all the time, even if she could electrocute several big men with her electrical power, Renault still couldn't rest assured.
After washing his face, Renault hopped on his motorcycle and rushed to the school. He picked up Mikoto, and the two of them bought some groceries before returning home.
In the kitchen, Mikoto helped Renault wash the vegetables while asking, "Senpai, do you have any plans for the U.A. summer vacation?"
"We do have plans," Renault replied while cutting the beef into pieces. "The first week is a rest period, and starting from next Monday, there will be a one-week Forest Camp, which is called a Training Camp, but it's actually a strengthening training. You know, our class has encountered a lot of things, and the school wants us to grow up as soon as possible, so there will definitely be various strengthening training. What about you?"
"Me? Senpai, you also graduated from the same school, how could there be such activities during summer vacation? Oh wait, there are activities, but it's a summer school for students who failed the final exams."
"That is hell, how can you call it an activity?" Renault rolled his eyes upon hearing that.
Back when he was in junior high, he had seen students who failed their exams attending summer school when he passed by the classrooms. The expressions on their faces were as if they were suffering. He still vividly remembered that.
With Mikoto's academic performance, Renault never had to worry.
"Even though there aren't any activities, don't spend all day at home playing games and reading manga. Remember to train regularly, okay? You did say you want to get into U.A.," Renault said.
"Don't worry, I know. You don't have to keep reminding me," Mikoto replied.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Just pass me the washed vegetables, and keep an eye on the meat in the pot for me," Renault said.
"Sure thing," Mikoto replied.
It must be said that Renault's mood improved when Mikoto was with him while cooking.
After dinner, since they had a day off today, Renault deliberately didn't choose to train but decided to take a day off. Mikoto didn't want to go home so early since Misuzu wasn't at home, so she stayed at his house and played games with him in his room.
Renault had enough money, so he had a well-equipped gaming console and computer, but he didn't have much time to play. Mikoto played games with him until 11 PM.
After staring at the screen for a long time, even Renault felt a bit tired. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and yawn, saying, "It's 11 PM, kiddo, it's time to rest. Aren't you going home?"
"It's only 11 PM, why sleep? Let's keep playing!" Mikoto ignored his words and continued to focus on playing with the controller.
Renault glanced at the screen and saw that his character's life had already run out, so he put down the controller and stood up, saying, "You keep playing, I'll go downstairs and make something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"Do you have soba noodles?"
"I have a rolling pin for making noodles."
"Hehehe, then just make something simple."
Watching Mikoto engrossed in her game, Renault shook his head and walked out of the room. He went downstairs, prepared some fried rice, and brought it up. He grabbed her controller, pressed the pause button, and even threatened her, which finally made her stop playing for a while and eat supper.
After eating, Mikoto resumed playing games while Renault watched by the side. As time passed, the sound from the TV became quieter and quieter, and he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
Finally, he leaned against a cushion and fell asleep.
