[MHCISQD] Chapter 365: Arrived at U.A.
🕑 Added 2023-08-18 20:09:59 +0000 UTCWhen the four of them returned to the inn, the others had also just come back, but there was no sign of Midoriya and Uraraka.
Seeing Ashido and others sitting in the lobby, Renault asked, "Didn't you find Midoriya and the others?"
"We found them. They came back ahead of us and went to their respective rooms," Ashido said with a helpless expression. "I'm sure something happened between those two! But there's just no evidence."
Renault glanced at the three people beside him, and they all exchanged knowing smiles.
Walking over, Renault patted Ashido's shoulder and said, "No need to worry. Flaws will eventually show up, won't they?"
"Hahh... I guess so. By the way, where were you guys just now?"
"Took a stroll around, not too far." Renault waved his hand and looked around. "What about the participants? When we came back, the competition seemed to have ended."
"Yeah, it's over. We got some decent ranks, but the first place was taken by a young couple from the town, both of them are teachers."
"No wonder..." local folks and teachers at that, they naturally had an advantage.
Without much further conversation, Renault and Mikoto went upstairs.
Inside the room, Yaoyorozu, Hado, and Mei were also there. Yaoyorozu and Hado's rankings had been consistently high, fourth place this time, which was still a very good result. As the competition progressed, the questions set by Nighteye became more tricky, not necessarily harder but more about testing logical thinking. One could easily get sidetracked and not reach the right conclusion.
The fourth-place prize was two high-quality fountain pens, which suited them well, and they weren't without use.
"You guys back."
Seeing Renault and the others come in, Yaoyorozu smiled and said, "Did you see Ashido and the others downstairs?"
"We did. They're downstairs feeling down because they lost someone." Renault sat down next to Yaoyorozu and looked at the pen in her hand. "This brand of the pen is pretty good."
"Indeed, but I don't plan to use it. I'll keep it as a memento."
Hado chimed in, "Yep, me too. Throughout the competition, I didn't feel much involvement. Yaomomo was the one solving and finding clues. Ah, it seems I'm not really cut out for this kind of contest."
Regarding her teammate's confession, Yaoyorozu also felt a bit helpless. While Hado seemed quite serious while searching for clues, results just wouldn't come out.
After one competition, the most common things Yaoyorozu heard were, "It's so difficult!" or "Yaomomo, you're amazing!" She had almost become numb to these compliments.
Getting away from such discussions, Yaoyorozu looked at Renault and asked, "And you guys? Mei said you left early."
"Hehe! Speaking of that." As Mikoto brought up the topic, she started to grin sneakily, "Wanna guess?"
Yaoyorozu rolled her eyes, "Do you want to tell or not?"
"Alright, alright!" Mikoto, due to what she had seen earlier, was rather eager, but Renault's instructions only prevented her from sharing with Ashido and her group.
The people here at the moment, including Yaoyorozu and Mei, are open to conversation and capable of keeping secrets. The only issue lies with Hado.
Everyone's attention focused on her as Hado tilted her head in confusion. "What's going on?"
"Hado-senpai!" Mikoto looked at her earnestly and asked, "Can you keep a secret?"
"Of course!" Hado understood the situation. She might have to hear a big secret next. "My lips are sealed, I won't leak anything!"
"Hmm..." Mikoto hesitated and glanced at Renault for advice.
Renault shrugged. "It's simple. If you're not sure, just ask Senpai to leave, right?"
"Renault!"
Hado widened her eyes and looked at Renault. "Am I really that bad at keeping secrets in your eyes?"
"It's not about that. You need to make Mikoto believe you can keep a secret." Renault chuckled and said. He then stood up and walked towards the door. "I'm going to my room. You guys chat. Call me if it's time for dinner."
Back in his room, Renault didn't really worry if Mikoto would reveal their earlier conversation. Yaoyorozu wouldn't, and neither would Mei. As for Hado, even though Renault had been joking, he was well aware that she was also someone who would keep her promises.
Without changing his clothes, Renault lay on the bed, ready to rest for a while.
Meanwhile, Tsukasa had already arrived in Tokyo, welcomed by All Might, and escorted to the school. He went straight to the principal's office, where Principal Nezu and Aizawa were waiting.
They knew about the attack on All Might, and that he had managed to deal with the villains safely. However, the identities of those villains, who were dressed uniformly and disciplined, raised suspicions within the committee and Principal Nezu. Despite not reaching Pro Hero levels of strength, their combat abilities far surpassed ordinary people.
Where did this organization suddenly come from?
Coincidentally, All Might received a call that someone who knew about the villains had appeared. This person was introduced by Renault, and they had encountered the villains last night.
The whole Class A going on a trip was known to the school, and there was no objection. With the overall strength of Class A and the presence of Togata's trio, safety was assured. But unexpectedly, Renault had silently engaged the villains with an unknown person in the late hours.
Furthermore, according to what All Might had learned from Renault, the opponents sent a large number of troops and several strong enemies during the night.
All this information deepened Principal Nezu's concerns. "The League of Villains is not yet resolved, and now there's another mysterious organization."
Principal Nezu sighed and looked at Aizawa. "Aizawa-kun, have you seen those pictures? Have you encountered any similar villains in past operations?"
"Truly not..." Aizawa shook his head. "I've dealt with several organized groups, but this is the first time for something like this."
Just then, the door to the principal's office opened, and All Might entered with Tsukasa.
"Sorry for the wait." All Might introduced, "Kadoya-kun, this is U.A.'s Principal Nezu, and this is Class 1-A Hero Department's homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota. And this person here is Kadoya Tsukasa, who knows about the organization as mentioned by Renault."
Principal Nezu observed Tsukasa and noticed his distinct demeanor. He hoped to glean some useful information.
