Exposed?

"Oh! Renault, you're back. Where did you go in the afternoon?"

As Renault returned to the dormitory, looking exhausted, Kirishima, who was playing games with Kaminari in the living room, turned to him and asked.

Then, he noticed Hado standing next to Renault, waving at him.

"Oh, Senpai is here too! Welcome!"

"Hmm?" Kaminari also turned around and spotted Hado. He also noticed the tired expression on Renault's face and immediately smirked mischievously.

"Renault, were you busy in the afternoon?"

"Don't think I can't tell what you're implying. There's nothing like that." After giving Kaminari the middle finger, Renault asked Hado to entertain herself and went straight upstairs to his room.

Of course, Renault couldn't tell Kaminari and the others that he was dragged by Hado to her rented apartment, forced to 'Henshin', and then treated like a doll, being poked and prodded as if she was about to crack open his armor.

Returning to his room, Yaoyorozu was not there. She had a work study mission outside today.

Lying down on the bed, Renault closed his eyes.

"Take a nap and take a break until dinner..."

Before long, he fell asleep.

Around six o'clock, Renault woke up groggily and found Yaoyorozu had already returned. She was sitting beside him, leaning against the bed and reading a book.

"Hmm... When did you come back?"

"Five o'clock." Putting down the book, Yaoyorozu looked at Renault rubbing his eyes and sitting up in a daze. She asked, "Were you with Hado-senpai in the afternoon?"

"It's probably those two, Kaminari and Kirishima, spreading rumors again." Renault shrugged, not hiding anything, and said directly, "Hado-senpai discovered my identity, Evolto's identity."

"Huh?" Yaoyorozu initially just wanted to ask casually, but she didn't expect it to be such a matter.

"Is it alright?"

Shaking his head, Renault said, "Don't worry, Senpai is just curious, but she knows the importance of keeping secrets. She will help me keep it confidential."

Seeing this, Yaoyorozu decided not to mention it further.

"As long as you're confident. Well then, let's go downstairs. It's almost time for dinner. Eri-chan is back from classes and is playing together with Ashido and the others."

Since moving to U.A., Eri hasn't faced many restrictions except for not being able to go out of the school gates randomly. She can pretty much go anywhere else.

However, since she came to school, it's only natural for Eri to study as well. Don't think that just because the principal agreed to let Eri stay safely in U.A., she can play all day. Children can't be treated that way.

After listening to this, although Eri felt a bit sulky, she eventually agreed. After all, learning knowledge is also a new and exciting experience for her. Moreover, she realized after starting classes that the pressure wasn't too high, and the subjects weren't too complicated. After a few days, she completely adapted.

Also, Eri's starting point is far better than that of ordinary children. Pro Heroes are guiding her in all elementary school subjects.

If this were to be known, many people would be envious.

When they arrived downstairs, Eri immediately abandoned Ashido, who was playing with her, and ran to Renault.

"Renault-nii!"

With a smile on his face, Renault lifted Eri in his arms. "Did you behave well in class today?"

"Of course!" Eri nodded vigorously. "Today, we had Midnight-sensei as our teacher."

Midnight, he hoped she didn't teach Eri anything strange or peculiar.

Hado was also with everyone at the moment, but Renault had no interest in talking to her. Even after taking a nap, nothing had changed.

Hado knew she had gone too far in the afternoon and decided not to approach him. She patiently waited for the meal.

Then, half an hour later...

"Tsk, you're such a glutton."

"I'm not!"

===

Two days later...

Today was the day for the operation. Renault took leave from school and headed to the assembly point.

In the classroom, except for Yaoyorozu, no one else knew why Renault was going out. They were excited about the upcoming training.

"A joint training with Class B, huh? It's the first time for us."

"And they say Class B has made great progress recently. I wonder how the battles will go. It's quite exciting!"

"Hahaha, Renault isn't here, so today I'll show you the results of my training!"

Kirishima, who had already removed his weighted training gear, flexed his muscles, showing off his increased strength with confidence. "Watch me knock them out with one punch!"

Only Bakugo stood aside, displeased and pouting.

He had hoped to have a good fight with Renault during today's training, but that guy wasn't even here.

Bakugo decided that no matter who his opponent would be, he would give it his all.

A few minutes later, Class B arrived.

"But if that's the case, with 39 people, it's not suitable for any kind of grouping, right?"

"What a coincidence. Renault happened to take leave, otherwise, we would have had one extra person." Aizawa's voice came, as he, the homeroom teacher of Class A, arrived late.

Beside him was someone Class A knew well, the general department student—Shinso Hitoshi, who had come to cause trouble at their classroom before the sports festival and received a beating from Renault.

Patting Shinso's shoulder, Aizawa introduced him to everyone. "Let me reintroduce him. This is Shinso Hitoshi, who intends to transfer to the hero department."

"...Huh?!"

Meanwhile, Renault was unaware of the situation at school. He was currently fully armed, accompanying Nighteye as a combatant, and had secretly arrived at their destination.

However, as soon as they arrived, the building in front of them erupted in a violent explosion.

Afterward, Nomu creatures started emerging brazenly, one after another.

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was happening.

The operation hadn't even begun yet. Could their plan have been exposed?

But in the next second, Nighteye saw two Pro Heroes responsible for surveillance rushing to the office. "Sir, something's wrong. We are certain that our plan hasn't been compromised, but somehow, there seems to be an issue within this place. The Nomus are also behaving violently as if they've lost control."

"Lost control?" Nighteye pushed his glasses up and didn't hesitate for a moment. "Everyone, the situation has changed! Let's deal with these out-of-control creatures first!"
