[MHCISQD] Chapter 409: Unexpected Situation
Added 2023-10-06 20:24:29 +0000 UTCMikoto and Mei didn't leave the exam venue; instead, after completing the exam, they joined Class A and returned to the dormitory.
"It's practically in the bag!" Mikoto couldn't contain her excitement as she walked in and sat down.
No one doubted Mikoto's words.
They had all watched the exam process and knew the approximate abilities of the other examinees, whether it was in terms of Quirks or overall capabilities. Mikoto and Mei were clearly ahead of the others.
With two spots available, they had a firm hold on them and didn't need to ask the teachers for anything.
After arriving at the dormitory, the two girls didn't leave. They just stayed in the dormitory, grabbed some dinner, and spent the night before heading back the next day.
In less than three days, the results of the entrance exam were out. Mikoto secured the first place, followed by Mei in the second place. The third spot went to a boy who could manipulate shadows.
After earning their admission, Mikoto's life became simpler. The school, upon learning of her successful admission, treated her just like Renault before. Her attendance was impeccable, her grades excellent, and she could graduate directly.
Mikoto usually had outstanding grades, so her life in the last half month of school was almost like heaven.
As for Renault and his friends, their school life continued as usual, with the only difference being the preparation for the final exam. They were a bit worried about the subjects related to the humanities.
In the combat class, because Renault excelled in teaching, the students who had fallen behind before were now catching up, and there was less fear and apprehension.
Now, all they needed to do was to prepare for the revision.
"I mean, Senpai, didn't you graduate already? Why are you so relaxed?" Renault put down his pen and looked at Hado, who was sitting across from him at his desk.
There were no classes that afternoon, so Renault had come to the school library to quietly study. He had been training a lot recently and hadn't had much time for his humanities studies. Although he was confident in his exams, he still wanted his grades to look good.
However, Hado, who had already graduated, unexpectedly showed up.
"Hehehe~" Hado laughed and took a pack of pocky from her bag. She put one in her mouth and said, "I just finished work, it's my day off today, so I thought I'd come to the school to see what's going on! Renault, open your mouth, aaah~"
She then placed a pocky stick near Renault's mouth.
It was chocolate flavor.
Without hesitation, Renault grabbed the pocky stick with his hand and took a bite, much to Hado's mock-suffering expression.
"Trying to play 'feeding' game? Don't you see this is a library?" Renault retorted, looking around. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, and the closest person was several bookshelves away.
However, Hado's eyes immediately lit up. "Can't we just find another place then?"
"In your dreams..." Renault replied, taking a sip from his thermos. "Your whole persona has changed."
"What? Come on, not really!"
Pouting, Hado complained, "It's been a while since I saw you, Renault. I thought we could play a little game to catch up!"
'I can't help but think you're trying to hit on me.' Renault gave Hado a blank look, then took another Pocky stick from her pocky box and asked as he ate, "So, have there been any strange cases lately?"
"Nope, everything's been pretty calm."
Hado's mind was quite agile, and she quickly followed Renault's change of topic, saying, "But Mirio, he seems really busy lately. Can't seem to catch him. Amajiki keeps saying we should all go out to eat, but he never has the time!"
"Is Togata-senpai that busy at Nighteye's office?"
After graduating, Togata went straight to work at Nighteye's office, with plans to learn for another 1-2 years under Nighteye's guidance before striking out on his own.
But what puzzled Renault was that Nighteye's office had plenty of staff.
For minor issues, according to Nighteye's personality, they wouldn't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Blades like Togata would undoubtedly be reserved for crucial missions, and in his free time, he'd most likely be receiving instruction.
It seemed Nighteye had entrusted Togata with quite a few important affairs.
"Hey, Renault!"
Just as Renault was deep in thought, Hado's hand reached out, grabbing Renault's sleeve and shaking it. She smiled and said, "I'm coming for a free meal tonight! Got anything special on the menu?"
Renault, expressionless, looked at her and said, "You must have checked with others first and found out I'm the one cooking tonight, right?"
"Of course not! I came because I missed you. You have to believe me!"
Renault had no idea where Hado had picked up these gestures, but they gave him goosebumps.
As they walked by, a student looking for books caught sight of them and then hastily left, not daring to linger for more than a minute.
Finally, Renault couldn't take it anymore, and with time running out, he left the library with Hado to buy some ingredients from the school cafeteria before heading back to the dormitory.
As they were walking, they spotted Aizawa with Recovery Girl heading toward the school gate.
"Aizawa-sensei, where are you guys going?"
Hearing Renault's voice, Aizawa turned and, upon seeing Renault and Hado, immediately said, "Good timing, you two, come with me!"
Renault and Hado exchanged glances, realizing something was amiss, and that it likely had to do with the people they had discussed earlier.
During their investigation, Nighteye and Togata encountered an unexpected situation. Nighteye's arm had been seriously injured, and due to Mirio's Quirk, he was relatively okay but still injured.
"So, is that why you're bringing Recovery Girl-sensei with you?" Renault asked with a puzzled expression. "But what happened exactly? How did even Togata-senpai get hurt?"
Aizawa, in the front passenger seat, had a very serious expression.
"The League of Villains, Shigaraki Tomura, that guy is back. And he's even more powerful than before."
Hado looked worried upon hearing this. She and Togata had been schoolmates and comrades for a full three years.
Seeing her concern, Renault gently placed a hand on her back.
"Don't worry, Aizawa-sensei said it's just injuries, nothing worse."
