[MHCISQD] Chapter 305: Enemy of League of Villains

A single finger, or rather a severed finger appeared in every single photograph, lying quietly on the ground, evoking a sense of unease.

"This is..." Midoriya was startled by the sight of this thing and couldn't help but swallow nervously.

This photo reminded him of scenes from movies involving kidnappings, where the captors would send a hostage's finger to their loved ones.

However, Renault, Togata, and Todoroki noticed something different.

"This is the address of Shie Hassaikai."

"The one in this photo is Kamino; I've seen All Might's statue in the background."

"And this one... Hosu City?!"

They couldn't figure out the locations of the other two photos.

Principal Nezu provided an explanation, "The remaining two photos show the prison transport vehicle that Shie Hassaikai's Chisaki Kai was in, which was attacked by the League of Villains on a highway. The other photo is from the area where Endeavor fought against the Nomu."

"After being examined by the police, it was determined that all five fingers belong to the same person. The investigation regarding the victim's identity is still ongoing. However, one thing is certain—this is undoubtedly a case of organized crime of some organization with a threatening attitude. Besides the fingers, personal items such as sunglasses and scarves, likely belonging to the victim, were also found at the scene. It seems they wanted to make the party who knows the victim's identity to be aware."

As Aizawa spoke, he picked up the photos and continued, "Hosu, Kamino, Shie Hassaikai, the highway prison transport, Kyushu, and Fukuoka. These places have one obvious common denominator, and I believe you all have noticed it."

Renault and the others nodded in agreement, simultaneously saying, "The League of Villains."

These locations were all connected to the appearances of the League of Villains.

The Nomu rampage in Hosu, the climactic battle in Kamino, the elusive presence of Shie Hassaikai, the highway ambush, the Nomu and Endeavor's battle in Kyushu, and the discovery of Dabi by Renault alone.

Whether they actively caused trouble or just act silently, it all indicated that these were the places where the League of Villains had been active in the past.

After surveying the area, Renault remarked, "But looking at this, it seems that their target is the League of Villains. But it seems they couldn't infiltrate U.A. after all; remember, the League of Villains made their first appearance right here in our school.

"Haha, that's true!" Togata patted Renault's shoulder and couldn't help but comment, "From this situation, it seems like someone is targeting the League of Villains."

Principal Nezu added, "Indeed, we can already conclude that the League of Villains has been targeted by someone. Moreover, the kidnapped person is likely a key figure within the League of Villains. Even if not, using these few personal items and fingers as a means of threat indicates that the kidnapped person has a close relationship with the League of Villains."

All Might rested his chin on his hands, his expression somewhat grave, "There's no doubt about the power and influence of the League of Villains. After all, All For One used to lead them. In this situation, what kind of organization dares to threaten the League of Villains?"

Bakugo picked up the photos, glanced at them, and then tossed them back onto the coffee table, saying, "It doesn't really matter what organization it is. Let them fight among themselves, like dogs biting dogs."

"You're right," Todoroki expressed a slightly different opinion, "As Principal mentioned earlier, we are being asked to take responsibility for protecting our comrades. This implies that we should be concerned because that League of Villains' enemy might target us."

"It's definitely a possibility we can't ignore."

Renault nodded, "Moreover, regardless of the League of Villains' actual strength, they always manage to cause big trouble. Any organization that dares to confront the League of Villains cannot be weak. If these two groups were to openly clash, it would undoubtedly create big trouble. Those who dare to do so won't care about the safety and opinions of the masses."

Principal Nezu looked at the group of teenagers who had already begun to contemplate, and his previously serious expression softened. He was quite satisfied with their attitude.

Clapping his hands, Principal Nezu said, "Let's stop here regarding this matter. The specific details will be followed up by us, the teachers. When you're out, please be cautious about your safety. It's also the end of the year now, and we have provided suggestions to the Committee for increasing the patrol schedule of the Pro Heroes. Well, it has been a busy day. Everyone, go back and rest."

Leaving the principal's office, Togata and Renault bid farewell and headed home, while the other four returned to the dormitory.

They had an unspoken agreement not to mention or disclose what had happened earlier. But in their hearts, they were all on guard.

Back at the dormitory, Renault went straight to the kitchen and took over the halfway-prepared dinner. The ingredients had already been handled, so he would be able to finish cooking the dinner quickly.

A sumptuous meal was a celebration for Todoroki and Bakugo, who had obtained their provisional hero licenses today.

However, the conversation they had in the principal's office made Renault and the others feel less relaxed than they had imagined. The unknown enemies were always the most terrifying.

No one would know when the enemies would appear.

Late at night, in the quietness.

Renault, who had finished showering, returned to his room, where Yaoyorozu was already waiting.

Seeing Renault come back, she immediately asked, "Did something happen after returning to school?"

Renault, who was drying his hair, paused for a moment. "How did you figure it out? I didn't think there was anything wrong with my expression."

Yaoyorozu gave a helpless smile. "Did you forget that you weren't the only one who came back?"

"Hmm..."

It seemed he didn't need to take the blame for this.

"It's not easy to talk about this matter, but you must have been following the news these past few days."

Renault didn't know how to hide it from the intelligent Yaoyorozu. Based on some subtle changes, she had already deduced quite a lot.

"The news..."

Yaoyorozu pondered for a moment and took out her phone.

After a short while, she turned the screen towards Renault, and sure enough, it displayed the 'finger incident' they had discussed before.

"Is it about this incident?"

Renault shrugged his shoulders. "I can't disclose the specific details, but I can't stop you from analyzing it yourself right?"

After listening, Yaoyorozu took out her phone and scrolled for two minutes, her eyebrows raised.

"So that's how it is, the League of Villains is in trouble. They've been hiding for so long, and now there's another organization threatening them. It seems the League of Villains can no longer remain silent."

Indeed, Yaoyorozu was as clever as ever, deducing the whole situation from beginning to end.
