[MHCISQD] Chapter 380: Education of Love
Added 2023-09-02 20:40:07 +0000 UTCAfternoon of the next day, training session.
There were no combat classes scheduled for today. After yesterday's battle, Aizawa decided to let everyone settle down and have individual training sessions today. They could pair up and practice moves against each other, but real fights were off the table.
Meanwhile, Renault, after spending some time training with Yaoyorozu, discreetly made their way to the vicinity of Class B's training grounds.
Aizawa noticed their actions and understood their intentions, but he didn't intervene.
He had seen Class B coming to him with applications, so he was well aware of what was going on. And knowing Renault's mischievous personality, joining in on the fun was only natural.
Considering their good situation, there was no need to stop them.
At this moment, Renault had Yaoyorozu in tow, and the two of them arrived at a building near the training grounds. From here, they had a view of Class B's training area in the distance.
"Is it okay for us to come out like this?" Yaoyorozu questioned him, her sense of responsibility as the class vice president still strong.
Renault chuckled and shook their head. "Don't worry. Aizawa-sensei saw us when we came out, but he didn't say anything, which means he gave us tacit approval. I guess if he didn't have to watch our classmates, he might have even come over to join the excitement."
It had to be said that Renault's perspective was quite accurate. Aizawa had indeed entertained similar thoughts.
Yaoyorozu couldn't help but smile wryly at that. She could only conjure up two binoculars using her Creation Quirk and handed one to Renault.
"Here, the distance is still quite far."
Renault took the binoculars and held them up to their eyes. Through them, they immediately got a clear view of what was happening in Class B's area.
The first match was underway, featuring Tsukasa against Monoma.
"Wow, didn't expect that motor-mouth Monoma Neito would be the first to go. He's in for it."
Just as Renault had remarked, though the live combat training had just started, Monoma was already in a phase of getting utterly pummeled by Tsukasa.
What's more, Monoma had a penchant for trash-talking, often sporting a mocking expression. Given Tsukasa's personality, not giving him a beating was out of the question.
Tsukasa was only using Decade's basic form, refraining from tapping into the power of other Riders. Also, Monoma's Quirk couldn't copy anything at all, and the Quirk he had copied from Tetsutetsu before the match was useless against Tsukasa.
Seizing his opponent, a punch to the left, one to the right, followed by a flying kick—KO!
"Next up." Tsukasa clapped his hands and told Vlad on the sidelines, "This kid needs some serious discipline. Despite having potential, his flamboyant attitude is too shallow. Flaunting confidence and power without substance is just being all show and embarrassment."
Vlad nodded, and medical personnel carried the battered Monoma away.
With a barely perceptible sigh, Vlad finally understood why the principal had brought in this seemingly unremarkable newcomer.
This strength was somewhat terrifying.
As an experienced teacher, Vlad could discern that Tsukasa hadn't even put in much effort.
If he were to go all out, what would his strength be like?
Next, the other members of Class B took the stage one by one, receiving the 'education of love' from Tsukasa as their teacher. Among them, a few girls with better attitudes performed better in the match, though some appeared a bit disheveled.
However, after this session, the students of Class B still felt a tremendous blow.
As it turned out, the incident where Class A was defeated was indeed true. This new teacher was genuinely strong! Too strong!
But it remained unknown how they would react if they knew that Renault could hold his ground against Tsukasa in a draw.
After watching the entire combat class of Class B, Renault and Yaoyorozu headed back.
"Class B didn't hold up well, huh? They lasted even shorter than I thought." Renault remarked while walking, shaking his head. "Couldn't they have held on a bit longer, taken a few more hits? It'd do them good."
"Oh come on, could you stop being so harsh?" Yaoyorozu gave Renault a playful look but couldn't help smiling. "Seriously though, I didn't expect them to have this much courage. Or rather, maybe our information was just a bit outdated. Couldn't they have researched a bit more?"
"Indeed, that's what I'm thinking too, and I have a theory."
Rubbing his chin, Renault spoke, "You see, yesterday during our combat class, there were no other spectators around, and medical staff wouldn't spread such things around randomly. We're sure of that. All Might wouldn't blab about it either, and our schoolmates wouldn't leak their own embarrassing stories. So, who could have leaked the information?"
"Are you implying..."
Renault nodded, "It's quite possible. Aizawa-sensei isn't the type to show favoritism. After all, we're both in the Hero Department, and in the words of the teachers, we're the future of the hero world. As a teacher who cares about students, even if he isn't teaching Class B, I think Aizawa-sensei would find ways to help them."
"..." Yaoyorozu found the theory more plausible the more she thought about it, but she didn't continue on that topic.
Back in Class A's training area, Aizawa noticed the two returning and approached, asking, "How did it go over there?"
"Having lost dreams for life, it's a pity they're a bit distant, so I couldn't take their photos and show them to you, Aizawa-sensei."
Renault spread his hands in a resigned gesture.
"Well, that's a shame. But no worries, I'll go see Vlad later and gauge his mood." Aizawa nodded, then turned to the two and said, "There's half an hour left before class ends. You guys better make good use of that time and train. I won't punish you for sneaking out this time."
Renault readily agreed, and with Yaoyorozu, they headed back to training.
===
Wednesday came, and the off-campus work-study activities resumed.
When Class A's students left early in the morning and arrived at the office, those who shared the same office with Class B students noticed that they had all taken a day off and would only join tomorrow.
Upon learning this, Renault, who had already arrived at Ryukyu's office, couldn't help but smile knowingly.
'Come on, Class B. You all that down?'
Beside Renault, Hado noticed his smile and felt a shiver down her spine. "Renault-kun, are you thinking something mischievous?"
"Huh?" Renault looked at Hado with surprise, shook his head, and said, "Nah, just sending some good wishes to a few friends."
"Well, Renault-kun, are the four of us going to work together today? Why the sudden change?"
"Well, Senpai, you're probably aware that the school issued a notice about a dangerous organization cropping up."
"Yeah." Hado acknowledged her knowledge of the situation but still seemed a bit gloomy.
Before, it was usually just her and Renault working together. But now, there were two extras.
