[MHCISQD] Chapter 379: Slacking Off?

After explaining their mistakes from the previous battles to everyone, Aizawa announced the end of today's combat class. As everyone's stamina was almost depleted, there wouldn't be any additional lessons.

Aizawa instructed All Might to lead the students back to the classroom, while he and Tsukasa headed to the infirmary together.

Despite some improvements, Bakugo remained the troublemaker of the class, someone Aizawa specifically asked Tsukasa to keep an eye on. Of course, future guidance would be handled carefully as well.

Although Bakugo couldn't easily be defeated, Aizawa had to fulfill his role as a teacher and provide guidance.

Each member of Class A had minor injuries, all of which had been treated after their battles. They would recover by the second day.

Although they were hit hard initially, their experiences strengthened their emotional resilience. After a period of feeling down, they had mostly bounced back.

"Starting the day after tomorrow, we'll probably have off-campus work studies again, right?" Kirishima scratched his head and looked at Renault, asking, "Renault, is that organization Aizawa-sensei mentioned really as intense as he says? It's not being exaggerated, is it?"

"Whether it's exaggerated or not, you'll see for yourselves when the time comes."

After some thought, Renault replied, "But, Kirishima, you're not exactly in Tokyo, so you might not encounter them for now. Others, on the other hand, are quite likely to encounter them. Be mentally prepared, especially those of you in Kanto."

Seeing the smile on Renault's face, everyone shivered a bit.

Yaoyorozu couldn't help but lightly pinch Renault and said, not very pleased, "Can't you help everyone relax a bit?"

"You need to learn to accept reality, you know?"

Listening to this, Yaoyorozu gave Renault's shoulder a pat and then walked ahead with the other girls.

Seeing Yaoyorozu's back, Renault just shrugged and followed behind.

After today's classes ended, news of Class A students being dominated by the new teacher in combat class somehow reached other classes.

The other General Department and Support Department students weren't quite clear, but as fellow Hero Department students from Class B, they were astonished upon hearing this news.

Back during the forest camp, they had witnessed Class A's action and combat abilities, not to mention the series of events that followed, including the recent clash with Class A.

Though they were still competitors, Class A's strength was truly commendable in Class B's eyes.

Except for one person—the sharp-tongued Monoma Neito.

Upon hearing the news in the dormitory that evening, Monoma lifted a glass of grape juice with a stemmed cup, took a sip, and remarked, "Seems like the Class A bunch got lazy, huh? They actually got crushed by an unknown new teacher?"

Simultaneously, Class B also became aware of Tsukasa's background information as a Pro Hero, a person who had recently acquired the title without any substantial achievements and somehow became a teacher at U.A.

Kendo watched Monoma with a scowl and delivered a direct punch to his head. "No talking about the teacher behind their back!"

"Ouch!"

Rubbing his head, Monoma retorted, "I'm just speaking the truth! I don't think that teacher is all that strong. Definitely Class A's slacking off! I see this as a good opportunity. Let's have Vlad-sensei request some training with the new teacher for our class. After all, there's no binding with Class A, right? If we can beat the teacher in the same training session, that means we're better than Class A, doesn't it?"

Although Kendo opposed the idea, the others seemed open to giving it a shot.

Well, why not consider their opinions? It's just applying for some training battles with the new teacher.

After discussing it back and forth, they settled on the plan and decided to approach their homeroom teacher, Vlad, tomorrow.

Seeing that she couldn't dissuade them, Kendo sighed and let them take action on their own.

Later, back in her own room, Kendo pulled out her phone and dialed Yaoyorozu. As a fellow work study student from the same office and a friend, she had Yaoyorozu's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Yaoyorozu's voice came through. "Kendo, what's up?"

"Yaoyorozu, are you free right now? I need to ask you something."

Yaoyorozu was currently leaning against Renault, as the two had been chatting before.

Stopping Renault's mischievous hand from wandering, she said, "Yeah, I'm free. What's on your mind?"

"It's about our class..."

Kendo briefly recounted the recent events that had taken place.

After hearing the story, both Renault and Yaoyorozu were left speechless.

Were these Class B students trying to get themselves killed? Especially that Monoma Neito—thinking that Class A is slacking off?

"Pfttt..." Renault almost burst out laughing.

Although Yaoyorozu stopped him, Kendo on the other end of the line could still hear other voices aside from Yaoyorozu.

"Is someone with you...?"

Of course, Yaoyorozu couldn't answer that, so she replied, "You must have misheard. Anyway, tell me about your class situation."

Without overthinking it, Kendo proceeded, understanding that the matter at hand for tomorrow was more crucial.

After carefully considering her words, Yaoyorozu said, "Regarding the combat training, I don't oppose your idea of applying. If you present solid reasons, I don't think Kadoya-sensei would refuse. But let me give you a heads-up. Don't underestimate Kadoya-sensei just because he's new; he's quite tough."

Kendo felt a vague sense of unease upon hearing this.

However, she knew that her classmates had already decided on the matter. If she opposed it now, even if they listened, there would be lingering doubts.

So, Kendo decided to let it be. She would see how things turned out tomorrow. At least she was aware of her class's capabilities. They had made significant progress in their training lately, even after returning from the new year break, and their condition was quite good.

Once the conversation was over, Yaoyorozu hung up and turned to Renault, who was grinning.

"Can't you just keep quiet? I'm sure if there's a next time, you'll definitely embarrass me!"

Mischief glinting in his eyes, Renault responded, "Well, well, isn't everything fine now? I'll be more careful next time."

"Next time? If there is, I'm certain you'll find a way to make a fool out of me."

With a pout, Yaoyorozu turned away, playfully teasing Renault.
