[MHCISQD] Chapter 369: Tsukasa vs Yuriko (I)

Renault was directly chased out by Mikoto.

After glancing at the door, he shrugged and went straight into Mikumo's room.

Mikumo was still in the shower at this moment, so she didn't know that Renault had already come in.

The room's decor wasn't particularly special; Mikumo didn't like overly extravagant decorations. The most unique things in the room were the guitar and violin placed in the corner.

The piano was downstairs.

On the desk, there was a pair of books about music, all showing signs of being flipped through multiple times.

"This girl really loves music, huh?"

Without touching Mikumo's things, Renault sat on the bed and leisurely scrolled through his phone.

After about ten minutes, the room door opened, and Mikumo, dressed in pajamas, walked in.

Seeing Renault, Mikumo was also surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, can't I come?" Renault put down his phone, smiled at Mikumo, and waved to her.

Blushing, Mikumo came to sit beside Renault and leaned against him.

After confirming that Mikumo's long hair had been blow-dried, Renault spoke, "Mikoto kicked me out because I promised her tomorrow to give her a chance to practice combat, saying she needed to adjust her condition or something."

Mikumo listened and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why is she still so impulsive?"

"I guess she's trying to compete with Yuriko," Renault chuckled helplessly. "I can understand why Yuriko is doing this; she really hasn't had a serious real battle in a while, so she needs to adjust herself. But as for Mikoto... I don't think Tsukasa will take her seriously in tomorrow's match."

"Is that so? Mikoto's strength is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Mikoto's strength is decent of course..." Renault said while running his fingers through Mikumo's soft hair. He lay down on the bed with her, continuing, "But for Tsukasa, it's really not enough. Even Yuriko wouldn't take Mikoto seriously, let alone Tsukasa. If Mikoto isn't careful tomorrow, she might end up in a tough spot."

"Really...?"

"Of course, the title of 'Decade' isn't a joke. He was initially known as the 'Destroyer of Worlds.' Of course, that title only lasted for a short time and was dropped later."

"Why?"

"Because destroying worlds and such is something he wouldn't bother doing."

After saying that, Renault shook his head, looking at the lovely person beside him, and pulled her into his embrace.

"It's getting late, can I sleep here tonight?"

"You're already lying down, what else can I say?" Mikumo rolled her eyes at Renault, though inside, she was also feeling quite excited.

===

The pleasant night passed, and because Renault had rested early, he got up on time.

Leaving Mikumo to rest a bit more, Renault got dressed and went out to freshen up.

Going downstairs, he noticed that Yuriko and Mikoto were already up.

"Pretty early today, huh?"

Yuriko nodded, while Mikoto said with a bit of fatigue, "I slept too early last night, so I woke up too early today. I feel tired and not used to it..."

"Well, you better get used to it soon, because when you get into U.A., early rising is a must. And even in some courses, you might be forced to wake up very early for unexpected situations."

Mikoto leaned on the sofa, looking like she wanted to sleep but couldn't, "But that's still too early!"

Renault exchanged a knowing glance with Yuriko, who shared the same exasperation. He walked over and pulled Mikoto up, leading her to the kitchen, "Come help me with breakfast. You're not in any condition like this!"

"No! Don't wanna!"

After breakfast, Mikoto's condition finally improved, and she started doing some suitable physical training to adjust her shape.

Yuriko, on the other hand, was already fully adjusted and didn't need such training; she was just waiting for the afternoon.

Time passed quickly, and after lunch, the four of them headed out together, arriving at U.A.

As they reached the designated training arena, they noticed Yaoyorozu waiting at the entrance.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Yaoyorozu glanced at Renault and then walked over, holding Mikoto's hand. "I'm here to cheer for Mikoto obviously!"

"Hehe, thanks, I'll do my best!"

Renault didn't quite know what to say to Mikoto's confidence. He just hoped she wouldn't get discouraged.

"Let's go in."

Inside the training arena, Tsukasa was already there. Apart from him, Aizawa, All Might, and Principal Nezu were also present.

After greeting each of these teachers, Renault looked at Tsukasa, "How's your condition?"

"Condition?" Tsukasa smiled confidently, "From start to finish, I'm a climax all the way!"

"Can you not steal Momotaros' lines?" Renault retorted and then turned to Yuriko beside him. "It's your turn, you've been looking forward to this for a long time, haven't you?"

Yuriko nodded and walked directly into the training area. With each step she took, her confidence grew.

Seeing this, Tsukasa gradually dropped his relaxed expression.

"Oy oy oy, Renault, your younger sister is quite something— Wait, now that I look carefully... you siblings are both quite impressive, huh? Her strength isn't much lower than yours?"

Hearing this, Renault chuckled with pride, "Hmph, just remember whose younger sister she is."

Tsukasa stopped joking and brought out his Decadriver.

"Henshin!"

*KAMENRIDE! DECADE!*

With the transformation, Decade appeared. Without drawing his sword, he beckoned to Yuriko, "Come on, let me see your strength."

Yuriko didn't hesitate. She stomped her foot, sending countless fragments of the ground flying toward Decade.

Tsukasa swung her fists, deflecting all the flying debris.

But in the next moment, Yuriko moved. She raised her hand, compressing the air to launch a straightforward attack at Tsukasa.

Though nothing was visible, Tsukasa could sense the change in air pressure and put his hands up in defense.

*BAAANG!*

The transparent pressurized air pushed Tsukasa back.

"That's quite a punch. Now it's my turn!"

Tsukasa pushed forward with both hands, neutralizing Yuriko's attack. Then, for the first time, he charged forward, throwing a punch.

Yuriko didn't dodge either. She activated her reflection ability and punched as well.

However, the result stunned Mikoto on the sidelines.

Because Yuriko had been pushed back?
