[MHCISQD] Chapter 405: Recommendation Entrance Exam
Added 2023-10-01 18:41:03 +0000 UTCAfter learning about this matter, Renault called Ryukyu.
Upon hearing that Renault indeed knew about the matter, Ryukyu didn't hide anything.
"There have been cases of disappearances happening everywhere, but to avoid causing panic, these cases have been kept under wraps. Pro Heroes from all over the country are conducting investigations, some openly, some covertly."
"Any results yet?"
Ryukyu shook her head and replied, "No, the culprits are like ghosts, never leaving any useful clues. Moreover, it's not like it was at the beginning; their targets seem to lack any logic. It's left us all running around like headless chickens, just waiting to be attacked."
As Ryukyu spoke, her mood was notably gloomy.
Indeed, if that's the situation, Renault couldn't be of much help.
In the end, all Renault could do was offer some reassurance to Ryukyu, "Just do your best. Kadoya Tsukasa knew Shoker well and will assist you in the investigation. Hopefully, that will make a difference."
"Um, having an extra pair of hands is always good. Renault, listen, during this time, follow the school's instructions, and don't wander around aimlessly. Focus on improving yourself within the school. I know you might not need to do this, but I hope you can keep an eye on your classmates. I'm quite familiar with your class; there are quite a few students who don't like to stay put."
"Yeah, I know. I'll pay attention to that."
After hanging up the phone, Renault rubbed his temples and then left his room. He had no intention of telling anyone about this matter. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly cause significant psychological stress among his classmates.
Although they all aimed to become Pro Heroes and would inevitably face similar situations in the future, now wasn't the right time.
What was needed now was to stabilize the restless individuals in his class, keeping their focus on developing their skills within the school and not concerning themselves with external matters.
Among all the students in his class, only Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki had the ability to take on members of Shocker or the League of Villains.
However, when it came to facing All For One, Shigaraki Tomura, or the leaders of Shocker, it was still a dangerous proposition.
Regarding external matters, Aizawa, who occasionally went out for investigations, and Tsukasa, who had already left, would follow up. When necessary, All Might would also intervene, and Renault himself would do the same.
But, as Ryukyu had said, maintaining the status quo, and not making any rash moves, would prevent the enemy from reaching U.A.
As for other hero schools, Renault knew they had received the same notifications and would also be closely monitoring their students.
However, Renault didn't know to what extent they could be prepared for what was coming from other angles.

At night, in Renault's room.
Yaoyorozu lay in Renault's arms and whispered, "Your mood doesn't seem to be great today."
For someone who knew him so well, like Yaoyorozu, Renault knew that even if he managed to maintain a composed expression, his subtle movements and emotional changes would still catch her attention.
However, this time, he didn't intend to voice it.
He shook his head and replied, "I just feel like staying at school all the time is getting boring."
Yaoyorozu was unaware of the disappearance case, and the monsters that had appeared on the shopping street had been perfectly dealt with by Yuriko. She assumed that Renault's boredom was the only reason.
"Since you find it boring, why not take this opportunity to help your classmates in the best possible way? If everyone improves their abilities, they'll have better futures. You do plan to establish a hero office, right? Your classmates are the best and most reliable members."
"Yeah, I know. This is indeed the best way to make good use of my time."
In the days that followed, Renault followed Yaoyorozu's advice and started intensive training with his classmates, pushing them to their limits.
Whether it was the top-ranking students like Midoriya and Bakugo, or those in the middle like Kaminari and Ojiro, or even those at the bottom like Koda and Mineta, regardless of strength, gender, Renault had them all working hard every day, pushing themselves to excel.
Because of Renault's decision, Class A's students had no energy left to pay attention to what was happening outside.
Aizawa, upon learning of Renault's decision, chose to forget his teacher duties and wholeheartedly supported it. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would join Renault in a teacher-student tag match.
In many ways, it was a wise decision. It not only improved the students' abilities but also kept them from focusing on external matters. After multiple encounters with villains, this was a much-needed period of isolated training for the students.
Meanwhile, under the watchful eye and protection of Pro Heroes, the number of missing people's cases across the country had decreased significantly in two months, frustrating Shocker.
However, since they had already collected numerous samples, they didn't escalate the situation further. Instead, they continued to bide their time and observe.
This chain reaction not only affected Shocker but also the League of Villains and other smaller dark organizations.
They had never encountered such relentless round-the-clock surveillance by Pro Heroes. They were unsure how to proceed and chose to remain hidden, waiting for the right moment.
This continued for over a month.
U.A. held the graduation ceremony for the third-grade students, including the highly renowned Big Three.
Following this, U.A. conducted its entrance exams for recommended students.
Although it was just an exam, Renault canceled training for the day and gave the entire class a day off to accompany Mikoto, who was participating in the exam.
Curious about the recommended students, Class A didn't rest just because it was a day off. They followed along.
All Might, responsible for the recommendation entrance exam, shook his head in exasperation when he saw Renault and Class A following. He allowed them to observe.
Soon, the recommended students were led to the exam venue.
Mikoto walked confidently among the candidates and noticed Renault and the others at the edge of the exam site. Her initially relaxed mood grew tense.
Mikoto knew Renault would come to watch, but she never expected so many people to be here.
Beside Mikoto, a long-unseen Raiden Mei nervously looked ahead, adjusting her mood, oblivious to Renault and the others.
