[MHCISQD] Chapter 433: Battle in the Forest

Yaoyorozu immediately rushed to the staff office after Renault's departure and repeated what he had said to her before leaving.

"Ryukyu went on a mission with Hado Nejire, right? How did Renault know they were in trouble?" Aizawa asked with a furrowed brow.

"Before Nejire-senpai left, Renault gave her a small item with a trace of his power on it, enabling continuous communication with him. If they encountered danger, Nejire-senpai would destroy the item, and Renault would sense it."

"I see..."

"Umu." All Might nodded. "I know they went for a mission in Shikoku, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, since he has gone there, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"But there's a problem." Aizawa Shota said solemnly. "That kid left the school so abruptly, even though the restart of off-campus work studies isn't until tomorrow."

All Might couldn't help but laugh, "Are you thinking of giving him a lecture when he comes back?"

"That's a possibility. Maybe he should train students in Class 1-B as well as punishment."

"That punishment works; I doubt he'll refuse."

Watching these two speak casually without a hint of being worried, Yaoyorozu left the office in silence.

Back in the classroom, she recounted the situation to everyone, and no one showed any signs of worry. Clearly, they had 100% trust in Renault's abilities.

As for Renault, through his sensory link, he quickly headed towards Shikoku Island.

However, the distance was a bit far, so he spent a few extra minutes.

When he stepped out of the black hole, he immediately saw Ryukyu and Hado, both in a sorry state.

"Ah! Renault!"

As soon as she saw Renault arriving, the disheveled Hado rushed to him, hanging on to him.

"...Senpai, you're pretty heavy, can you get down first?"

"I'm not heavy! I've lost weight these past few days!"

After coming down, a disgruntled Hado said with frustration.

Ryukyu also approached, looking relieved.

"Thank goodness you're here, Renault. We couldn't have handled it on our own."

"What happened to you guys?"

Renault looked around, finding themselves in a forest, but there were no signs of villains.

*Vroom!*

As he observed, Renault heard the roar of an engine from above, and then someone he had previously crossed paths with jumped down from a plane.

"As expected, you're investigating Shocker, right?"

"We were investigating deeper and found out that this place had turned into Shocker's territory. The nearby village has been completely infiltrated by Shocker personnel, and we were caught off guard. We had to escape in a hurry."

Looking at Kamen Rider 4, who had landed before them from the sky, Ryukyu said cautiously, "Be careful, Renault. This guy is much stronger than the one you encountered before."

With the appearance of Kamen Rider 4, several Kamen Riders appeared around them, over a dozen Kaijin, all emitting strange energy.

Clearly, they were genetically modified Kaijin with Quirk enhancements.

Renault made a quick move, and his excitement surged as he said, "Ryukyu, take Senpai and leave. I'll handle things here."

"No, I want to stay and help you!" Hado said while floating in mid-air, her expression serious.

"Don't cause trouble." Renault replied, casting a glance at Ryukyu.

Upon receiving Renault's gaze, Ryukyu had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, Nejire, let's go."

Ryukyu transformed into a Western dragon in an instant, grabbed Hado, and spread her dragon wings, soaring into the sky.

One of the Kaijin, seeing Ryukyu attempting to escape, moved to intercept, but at the next moment, its body was split in two by a black-purple energy.

"Don't even think about chasing them; I'm your opponent."

Kamen Rider 4 gazed at Renault, his combat data showing Renault's fight recordings and various analyses.

He raised his hand silently, pointing it at Renault, and all the Kaijin rushed towards Renault.

In the sky, on Ryukyu's back, Hado turned to look at the massive smoke and roaring sounds rising from the forest.

"Renault should be alright, right?" Hado said with worry.

"Are you still not aware of his strength?"

Ryukyu's voice came from the massive dragon head.

"While that robot has indeed become much stronger, as long as Renault wants to leave, he can. Right now, the most important thing is for us to escape danger. This way, we won't give him any rearview worries. You're worrying unnecessarily."

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Hado gave the dragon's back a pat with a pout. "Even though all this last-minute craziness happened, we've got all the info we needed. Ryukyu, I just want to find a hotel now, take a nice bath, and have a big meal!

"I feel the same way. We've been stuck in this damn forest for so long; I'm fed up."

===

*BOOM!*

Ten minutes later, as the entire forest within a hundred meters was obliterated, Renault had defeated all 18 Kaijin. Only Kamen Rider 4 remained.

Seeing Kamen Rider 4, who was still unharmed, Renault was surprised.

"I didn't expect your strength to be strengthened so much."

"I've thoroughly analyzed your combat data, and combined with the Shocker technology I possess, you're no match for me. For Shocker's great goal, you shall die." Kamen Rider 4 replied with a robotic male voice.

After speaking, Kamen Rider 4's form instantly flickered and appeared in front of Renault.

He delivered a punch, and Renault blocked it with his hand but found himself pushed back by the force of the attack.

"Oh? It's interesting. It seems you've gained some special abilities after being modified. My reflection doesn't work on you, huh?" Renault said.

Kamen Rider 4 stated directly, "Energy Nullification, a Quirk of a wasted man who didn't develop this Quirk to its full potential was implanted in my body. That's why your reflection doesn't work on me."

Renault countered with a punch, forcing Kamen Rider 4 back, then smiled.

"Is that so? But I'm not relying solely on this ability though."

In an instant, Renault appeared behind Kamen Rider 4, the black-purple black hole energy enveloping his palm as he swung it at Kamen Rider 4's neck.

"Energy Nullification, but can you nullify the power of a black hole?"

*Crack!*

Kamen Rider 4's reaction was lightning-fast; he turned and raised his two hands to block, but he was still sent flying and his armor also showed visible damage.

"Analysis, 10% arm damage, no impact on combat."

However, at the same time, Renault had already closed the distance again.
