[MHCISQD] Chapter 429: Special Meal
Added 2023-11-03 22:35:10 +0000 UTCAs a new teacher who had transferred from Northern Europe to Japan, Theresa's primary focus was on Kiana. However, since she had taken on the role of a teacher, she cared deeply about all the students in her class.
In her eyes, Misaka Mikoto was also an outstanding student. She had secured the top spot in the entrance exam, and together with the second-ranked Raiden Mei, had earned direct admission to U.A.
Physically, as a first-grade student, Mikoto excelled in every aspect, even surpassing Kiana, who received regular training from Theresa and Cecilia.
Kiana, despite her remarkable talent, was often laid-back and had a tendency to slack off, so her training results were not always at 100%.
What Theresa never expected, however, was that such an apparently well-behaved student like Mikoto would be in a romantic relationship, and with a second-year student like Renault, no less.
Seeing the shock in Theresa's eyes, Renault calmly explained, "We were actually neighbors."
Theresa, after a moment, looked at Renault and Mikoto and said, "I don't oppose this, but it shouldn't affect your duties as students, alright?"
If it was going to affect them, it would have already done so, right?
Faced with their teacher, both Renault and Mikoto nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Theresa asked Renault, "In the evening, could I trouble Misaka to look after Kiana? That girl is just too lively, and she doesn't have many friends from the past."
"Theresa-sensei, you and Kiana are indeed acquainted."
"Her mother and I were good friends, and I am also Kiana's godmother."
Theresa spoke with a smile and her expression was gentle when she talked about Kiana's mother, but when the subject turned to Kiana, her expression became one of frustration and annoyance.
"But that girl doesn't make it easy. Can't she learn some dignity from her mother? She acts like a wild child all the time."
As Theresa spoke, her frustration grew more apparent.
Thankfully, Kiana soon returned, and Theresa quickly fell silent. Theresa also gave Renault and Mikoto a stern look, signaling them not to reveal these matters.
Having heard quite a bit of gossip, Renault and Mikoto had no intention of being dull and spreading it around.
In less than an hour, everyone had assembled.
Theresa and Renault took all the students from their respective classes to a large hall near the training ground, where they played back the recorded footage of their recent battles on a big screen.
As they watched, Renault and Theresa took turns explaining certain aspects to the first-grade students.
The lecture lasted for a full two hours before they were finally dismissed.
After the class, Renault led the students of Class 2-A away, while Theresa took her Class 1-A students back to their classroom. She discussed some additional matters before announcing the end of the class.
Back in the dormitory, Mikoto immediately changed into everyday clothing and headed to the bathroom. Shortly after, Mei and others joined her.
Kiana, after finishing her shower, eagerly entered the bath.
"Ahh, taking a bath after class feels absolutely wonderful!" Kiana exclaimed, peeking her head out of the bath with a contented expression, and closed her eyes in bliss.
After Mei squeezed the towel and set it aside, she looked at Kiana and said, "Kiana, I saw your fight just now, the one against Midoriya-senpai. You clashed multiple times, are your hands and feet alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine! My body's always been in good shape, and he didn't go all out either, so it's just some minor scratches. It'll be fine by the end of the night." Kiana replied nonchalantly, lifting her arm to gesture.
Observing her for a moment, Mei felt reassured and said, "That's good. If you're still uncomfortable, I have some healing ointment. You can come and get it from me."
"Thank you, Mei!"
Fu Hua, who had entered without saying a word, was lost in thought about her previous battle with Renault.
Mikoto noticed this and shifted her position closer.
"Fu Hua, still thinking about the battle we just had?"
Fu Hua opened her eyes, looked at Mikoto beside her, and nodded.
"Senpai is very strong, and I still have a long way to go in comparison."
Seeing Fu Hua's admiration, Mikoto felt a hint of unease but quickly dismissed it.
Over the past few days, Mikoto had come to understand Fu Hua's personality and knew she wasn't the type to be swayed easily. It was probably just respect for Renault's strength.
As she looked at the girls peacefully bathing, especially Bronya who was floating rubber ducks in the water, Mikoto spoke, "What are you all planning for dinner?"
Kiana was the first to raise her hand.
"The cafeteria! I saw a notice today that they have premium Wagyu beef for dinner!"
"I think we could try cooking together in the kitchen, but we don't have the ingredients." Fu Hua chimed in.
"Bronya can eat anywhere."
Mei, looking at Mikoto's smile, couldn't help but say, "Mikoto, could it be...?"
"Hehehe!" Mikoto responded with a smile and said to Kiana and the others, "We're not going to the cafeteria today. I'll take you to a great place with a special meal!"
"A special meal? Where is it? Aren't we not allowed to leave the school grounds?" Kiana's eyes lit up at the mention of a special meal.
"It's a secret. I'll take you there after we finish bathing."
Bronya had some guesses but remained quiet.
Half an hour later, after bathing and changing, the five of them left the dormitory. With Mikoto leading the way, they walked a different path, not heading towards the cafeteria.
Mei had been there before, so she quickly realized they were going to Class 2-A. However, seeing Mikoto's secretive expression, she refrained from saying anything.
But soon, Fu Hua, who had stayed in the dormitory, couldn't hold back and said, "If I remember correctly, the place further ahead is..."
Mikoto didn't say anything explicitly but just smiled happily and replied, "We're almost there!"
Bronya had also figured it out and walked quietly beside them.
Only Kiana, who hadn't familiarized herself with the dormitory layout over the past few days, remained clueless.
Finally, as they reached the dormitory building labeled Class 2-A, Kiana and Fu Hua looked at Mikoto in puzzlement.
