[MHCISQD] Chapter 70: Hero Killer

The next day, Renault arrived at the office fifteen minutes ahead of schedule.

Today, he also met several Pro Heroes who he didn't see yesterday. Most of these Pro Heroes were relatively young, so it was easy to get along with them. Plus, Renault's performance at the Sports Festival made everyone happy to talk to him. Hawks also saw this scene, but he didn't come out immediately.

After everyone had talked for a while, Hawks called Renault into his office.

"Renault-kun, today's mission is similar to yesterday's. We will patrol in the afternoon, but tonight I have an operation. Will you come?"

"What operation?"

Renault didn't expect to have a mission waiting for him on the second day.

"The police have been pursuing several bank robbers, but one of them has a tricky Quirk called Scent Concealment, which can hide their own and their companion's scent. Combined with their strong disguise ability, it's hard for the police to catch them in a short time. It took half a month to find their hiding place. The main arrest will still be done by the police, and our mission is to monitor from the air to prevent unexpected situations."

"At night? I understand."

"That's great. Usually, I deal with these things alone, and it's boring. Finally, I have someone to be bored with me together. I'll tell you about the management situation in my office this morning."

----------------------

Morning and afternoon were routine activities, studying, and daily patrols. However, during today's patrol, Renault finally witnessed Hawks' strength.

When talking with Renault, Hawks casually waved his large wings behind him, and a few feathers floated out, directly knocking down a robber who had been running wild on the street after a robbery.

During this time, Hawks didn't even bother to look at the criminal. It was obvious that he knew everything about the situation from the beginning and was able to bring an accurate and precise end to the crime.

After taking care of the criminal, the two waited at the scene for a while.

Soon, two police officers arrived in a car and took the criminal away. After a brief conversation with Hawks, they left.

"It seems like you're quite familiar with the police," Renault commented.

"Well, there are plenty of police cases and tricky situations that we can profit from. Plus, they're pretty generous. It's a stable source of income for our office. And by joining in, we can also reduce the number of police casualties. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?" Hawks patted Renault's shoulder and continued walking forward.

The daytime work quickly ended, but Renault didn't go back today. Instead, he had dinner nearby and went to the nearby police station with Hawks.

Here, Renault met the police officers involved in this operation and they were surprised to see Hawks bringing U.A. students along. However, they accepted it after learning about Renault's situation.

After all, Number Three was still there, so they didn't have to worry too much.

Time passed bit by bit and soon it was 10 P.M. The police officers had already arranged their operation plan and were ready to start.

Renault and Hawks were on the rooftop of a nearby building, overlooking the situation below.

"It seems like those criminals are very confident in their abilities, so they didn't bother with any precautions," Renault said after observing the situation with his night vision goggles.

"They probably don't know what kind of Pro Hero the police will bring in, so they decided not to bother with precautions to avoid suspicion. But besides their ability to escape and hide, their other abilities are pretty average. We still need to rely on firearms," Hawks stood beside him and nodded.

"Well, it looks like it's going to be an easy operation tonight. Let's end it quickly. I want to go to a bar and have a drink. Renault-kun, want to come with me?"

"Come on, I'm only fifteen."

In the past few days, Renault has become familiar with Hawks and has become less serious in his conversations.

"Hahaha, why bother with rules? When I was fifteen, I had already experienced the world. Let me tell you, there was a very beautiful bartender elder sister at that bar!"

"I'm really not interested..."

"Hmm? Oh, I see. It makes sense. I noticed there were quite a few beautiful girls in your class during the Sports Festival."

Rolling his eyes, Renault didn't bother to deal with Hawks' unserious tone and continued to observe the situation below.

Five minutes later, the operation began.

This time, there were no surprises.

They knew the suspects had weapons, so they had already prepared their riot shields and easily subdued and arrested the criminals. As expected, just like Hawks had said, it was quite boring without them having any chance to take action. The operation ended, and the two of them prepared to go back. Renault took the train while Hawks had parked his car there and they were heading in opposite directions.

"Renault-kun, are you really not coming?"

"..."

"Haha, just kidding." After laughing, Hawks looked at Renault and said, "Renault-kun, you should know about the recent Hero Killer incident, right?"

Renault nodded his head, then Hawks continued, "I've seen the list of Pro Heroes who were attacked, including Turbo Hero Ingenium, your classmate's big brother. So I assume you know a little bit about it. Over the next few days, several Pro Heroes from the rankings, including myself, will begin searching for any trace of Hero Killer Stain in various cities. I can't bring you on this mission, so I'll have someone from the office take care of you instead. Is that okay?"

"I understand," Renault agreed, aware of the urgency of the situation. He thought for a moment before asking his final question, "Do you know anything about Hero Killer Stain's Quirk?"

"We're not sure, it's still a mystery. The only survivor so far is Ingenium, who's still in the intensive care unit and doesn't know Stain's Quirk. All we know is that he attacks with a blade. In any case, if you accidentally encounter him, run away immediately and call for backup."

After Hawks drove away, Renault boarded a train to go home.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building in a certain district of Tokyo, a muscular man wearing a cloth mask over his face and carrying a long, thin-bladed sword on his back looked out over the city. Slowly, a smile spread across his face.

"Pro Heroes..."
