[MHCISQD] Chapter 72: Nomu!

At the Hosu City station in the evening, many people were just getting off work, so the place was bustling with activity.

After leaving the station, Renault looked at the street in front of him and thought to himself, 'If these people knew that something big was about to happen, they probably wouldn't be so calm.'

'It's a pity that even if I said something, no one would believe me, and I don't even know what sudden occurrences might arise.'

As he walked along, Renault saw a takoyaki shop on the side of the street and couldn't resist touching his own belly.

'I definitely need more than just a burger. Let's go eat something and recharge.'

Meanwhile, inside Hosu City, Iida was also patrolling the streets with a Pro Hero.

Todoroki, who was on a business trip to Hosu City, was also patrolling the streets with Endeavor.

Todoroki picked up his phone when it vibrated and saw a message from Renault saying that he had arrived and would begin investigating the area.

'He's here already? That was faster than expected. This should be foolproof,' Todoroki thought to himself as he put down his phone and started to focus.

Originally, Todoroki had thought of inviting Bakugo to join them but considering his personality, he eventually gave up. Endeavor also noticed his son's actions, but he didn't say much. Besides their work as Pro Heroes, he didn't have much communication with his son on other matters.

Slowly, the sky grew dark.

"It's already 6 o'clock," Renault noted.

After an hour of searching in Hosu City; Renault and many other heroes have yet to find Hero Killer Stain or any sudden occurrences. However, the mission issued by the System cannot be false, so it must not be time yet.

At that moment, atop a building in Hosu City, stood none other than the Hero Killer Stain, who was being sought by the heroes.

As Stain was gazing out at the city, a black fog gate suddenly appeared behind him and Shigaraki Tomura walked out from it.

Once Shigaraki emerged, the black fog gate disappeared and Kurogiri appeared to stand by his side.

Looking at Stain, who had his back turned to them, Shigaraki asked, "Hosu City isn't too big, but it seems quite lively. What do you plan to do?"

"Correct this city. To do so... we'll need more sacrifices," replied Stain, slowly standing up and drawing the notched blade of his katana from his back.

Kurogiri looked at the man who made people uneasy and asked sarcastically.

"Is that the thing that you mentioned before that needs to be completed? Well, I must say, your idea is not bad."

"The title of hero should only be given to those who have achieved great accomplishments through missions. There are too many materialistic individuals who call themselves heroes in this society. I will not stop until I've corrected this error myself."

After speaking, Stain left the rooftop and jumped down to start his mission. Shigaraki spoke contemptuously after Stain left, saying, "He speaks so nobly, but his actions are purely useless. His fearless mentality is really touching!"

Kurogiri standing on the side spoke calmly, "But it's not all useless. The fact is that in every city where Stain has appeared, the crime rate has decreased. Some critics have suggested that his actions are somehow related to the progress of heroes' consciousness, which is why he has been pushed to the forefront."

Stopping the action of grabbing his neck, Shigaraki laughed and said, "That's great! So he encourages heroes to work harder and reduces the number of freeloaders? And Hero Killer is also a hero propagator huh? Tsk, it's really roundabout. I knew from the bottom of my heart that I couldn't get along with that guy. It's really infuriating. Kurogiri, release Nomu."

After Shigaraki gave the command, Kurogiri opened a warp gate, and in the black fog, giant humanoid monsters with exposed brains, and sturdy or long-sleeved bodies appeared on the rooftop.

"Dared to stab me, don't think that I will let it go so easily."

Glancing at the wound on his shoulder where he was stabbed by Stain, Shigaraki said in a deep voice, "If we're going to cause destruction, then let's go all out and destroy everything in our path. Let's have a reckless race and see how I crush your dignity and composure, Senpai!"

Fifteen minutes later, on the street.

Renault was holding a cup of coffee, drinking, and observing the surroundings.

After nightfall, the people on the street began their nightlife, with many shopping or dining out, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

"Peaceful, huh..."

*BOOM!!!*

Suddenly, a loud explosion from a distance interrupted Renault's sigh.

Looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance, Renault twisted his mouth, "Did I just jinx myself?"

"AAHHH!!!"

"MONSTER!!!"

"RUN AWAY!!!"

At the end of the street on the other side, the sudden uproar and cries for help from the people made Renault react. Could this be the so-called sudden occurrences?

According to previous reports, Stain wouldn't do something so grandiose.

"Although I am concerned about the explosion over there, I need to deal with this first."

After moving his neck, Renault charged straight ahead, warning the surrounding people to evacuate.

Soon, Renault arrived at the destination, and after seeing what was ahead, Renault immediately widened his eyes.

"Nomu?!"

With its brain exposed and a sturdy build of two meters high, and even a pair of huge wings on its back, there was no doubt that this was the same Nomu as in the previous U.S.J. incident.

"Different form? It has the ability to fly."

Watching the Nomu flying in the air, holding two people, Renault did not hesitate to activate his quirk and rushed out.

"Put the people down!"

Instantly charging into the air, Renault punched Nomu in the face, causing the flying Nomu to lose its balance and involuntarily release its grip on the two people.

Seeing that the two people were about to fall to the ground, Renault immediately rushed down, grabbed their collars, and then pulled away from Nomu.

After putting the two people on the ground, Renault said, "Quickly leave this place!"

After speaking, he rushed out again and arrived above the Nomu that was about to attack other people. A makeshift version of Rasengan slammed into the opponent's body, sending it crashing into the ground and causing a large amount of debris to fly up.

The surrounding people immediately scattered, but some sharp-eyed people had already recognized Renault's identity. However, given the current situation, there was no room for chat, and they desperately fled to a safe place.
