[MHCISQD] Chapter 436: Ruthless Yuriko

The moment Yuriko appeared, Mikoto knew today was going to be a disaster.

"Hahhh..."

Though Mei knew Yuriko, she didn't sense anything and looked at Mikoto, who was sighing.

"Mikoto, why is Yuriko here?"

"What else can it be? Senpai probably felt his absence today might lead to slackness, so he brought someone tougher." Mikoto replied casually.

Mikoto's voice was low, and so far, only a few girls knew about her relationship with Renault.

Kiana, who was nearby, couldn't help but comment, "This girl looks a lot like Renault-senpai. Are they related?"

"They're twins, siblings with the same abilities. Don't underestimate her; she fights even more ruthlessly than Senpai." Mikoto warned.

Kiana shivered at Yuriko's cold smile.

After a few sessions of combat class, she had experienced Renault's intense teaching. After the training, she felt drained, lacking the energy even for her favorite foods.

While she was recovering, she complained to Renault, who calmly replied, "Theresa-sensei asked me to do this. She thinks you have great potential but lack training, so your abilities aren't fully realized. If you don't work hard, you'll face the same training in the future!"

Kiana couldn't help but doubt her life choices at that moment.

Her godmother wasn't treating her like a human at all. Despite her godmother's good relationship with her mother, why couldn't she be treated nicely, like her mother? Instead, her godmother always played a strict role.

But now, those thoughts were useless. Renault was absent, and Yuriko, who seemed powerful, had arrived.

Yuriko's planned course was surprisingly simple compared to Renault's arrangements.

Looking at every 1-A student, she declared:

"I've watched the videos of the courses Renault assigned to you. Honestly, he's been too lenient, but I won't go easy. Based on your overall scores from the previous combat class, starting from the lowest, each of you will take turns fighting me. I'll make you understand the fear of death."

Yuriko's imposing aura slowly rose as she spoke.

"If you can't handle it, it's better to leave this school early."

Yuriko's mocking words immediately angered most students. Each claimed they had improved a lot and would show her.

Only Mikoto, with a serious expression, warned Kiana's group.

"Hold nothing back. If she senses you're not giving your all, she will truly go all out."

"Is it okay for her to be like that?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.

Mikoto shook her head.

"If Senpai brought her as a replacement, it means they already discussed it. She will go all out, but she knows the limits and won't actually kill. However, injuries won't be as easy as before. Watch Senpai's sports festival match from last year; prepare for the most severe injuries."

Mikoto's words made even someone like Kiana anxious.

Fortunately, the order of appearance was based on the overall performance in the previous combat class, starting from the last one. Kiana and the others had time to observe Yuriko's strength.

It wasn't until the class began that they truly understood what Mikoto meant by 'ruthless'.

Despite having a significantly higher level of strength, Yuriko didn't finish off her opponents right away. Instead, she let her aura completely radiate, making her opponent feel like they were confronting a bona fide demon king.

As long as a hint of fear was shown before a complete defeat, Yuriko would strike hard, allowing the opponent to continue their hopeless attack.

The first match lasted a full eight minutes before the fainted student was carried off.

Injuries weren't the issue; it was the immense psychological blow. Even Renault didn't bring such an experience.

If Renault only made people feel pressure and inadequacy in their strength, Yuriko's appearance truly made everyone experience the despair of standing shoulder to shoulder with a grim reaper.

The psychological impact was terrifying.

Renault was well aware of Yuriko's personality. It wasn't in her nature to follow the rules obediently, so he had her conduct this kind of course.

She had no interest in conventional teaching. Her previous training with Mikoto had already pushed her to the limit.

The class continued, and at this moment, Theresa joined the group of students, sitting beside Kiana.

"How confident are you facing her?" Theresa asked Kiana and the group.

No one spoke, so Fu Hua replied, "If her abilities are really similar to Renault-senpai's, then there's not much chance unless she exhausts herself and can't hold on until we take the stage."

Mikoto added, "That's impossible. Yuriko had physical defects before, which might have led to such a situation. But now, she's recovered and in her prime. In terms of strength, she's already advanced to a higher level than Senpai. So, I'd say, use full force later, just resist her aura."

Kiana crossed her arms, watching another schoolmate getting carried off.

"Aura and all, I've seen my mother wreak havoc, but I feel it'll be tough later. Ahh~ what kind of family does Renault-senpai have?" She spoke in a hushed voice.

Mikoto thought for a moment and then responded, "Not everyone is that strong. The weakest one doesn't have much combat ability; her Quirk is sound-based."

"Oh, that's okay, then."

"But her singing voice can amplify our side and even significantly weaken the opponent's Quirk. Do you know Class 2-A Aizawa-sensei's ability? It temporarily seals the Quirk of those he sees. That's a single-target effect, but the ability I'm talking about is for a group."

Bronya picked up the small tablet in her hand and tapped on it.

"Bronya thinks this ability is the most problematic. If used well, a team composed of powerful heroes can increase their strength by at least 20-30%."

"Mikoto, who's that person you're talking about? Is it a guy or a girl? Also, is she a Pro Hero too?" Kiana asked curiously.

"It's a girl. But she hasn't considered becoming a hero. In the future, she wants to be a singer."

Thinking about Mikumo's dream, Mikoto smiled.

"..."

Everyone, including Theresa, fell silent.

Such a powerful ability, and she just wants to be a singer? As expected of Renault's family, they were indeed whimsical.
