224 Feeling a Bit Guilty

As Renault emerged from the black hole, he found himself standing in front of the dormitory building. Taking a deep breath, his face relaxed, and he even wore a hint of joy as he opened the dormitory door.

"Oh, you guys are all here."

In the lobby, Midoriya, Iida, Kirishima, and Kaminari were gathered, watching the news playing on the television.

The breaking news currently airing was about All Might, or rather, the post-retirement All Might's news as Kamen Rider 1. Today, he appeared on camera again, rescuing people trapped in a burning apartment building and saving them from the raging flames.

However, neither the media nor the on-site police and firefighters approached him to inquire about his identity.

"This person's identity is really mysterious, and he's truly impressive," Iida analyzed earnestly, crossing his arms. "Although we can't tell what his Quirk is, his strength and speed surpass those of typical strength-type or speed-type Pro Heroes. But where did such a person suddenly appear from?"

Beside Iida, Midoriya stared at the television screen, where Kamen Rider 1 was being shown, silently biting his nails as he remembered. Kaminari noticed his expression and asked, "Hey, Midoriya, have you figured something out?"

Midoriya nodded and replied, "Guys, do you remember what happened when we went shopping before the forest training camp?"

"You mean Shigaraki Tomura from League of Villains?" Kirishima interjected.

Midoriya continued, "That's right. We encountered Shigaraki Tomura back then, but I'm not talking about him. I'm referring to the person who appeared afterward and forced Shigaraki Tomura to retreat. The person dressed in black who called himself Joker."

"Huh? That person?" Iida paused for a moment and began to remember. "Now that you mention it, there are indeed some similarities in their equipment. Could it be that they are part of the same organization? Maybe this external armor not only hides their identities but also provides strong defense and enhancement effects. But as far as I know, no company is currently capable of manufacturing such support equipment, right?"

"I can't say for sure," the news on the television had shifted to other reports, and Midoriya's gaze was no longer fixed on the screen. "But I feel there must be some connection between these two people. They both appeared suddenly, possess great power, are unregistered, and have unknown identities. And they both perform actions that Pro Heroes would do, without engaging in any illegal activities. The only drawback is that they probably don't have a pro hero license."

Looking at Renault, who had already taken a seat on the couch, Midoriya asked, "Renault-kun, what do you think?"

"Hmm?" Renault leaned back on the couch and replied nonchalantly, "I'm not really concerned about these things. As long as they're not villains and are genuinely doing righteous deeds, it's not something we need to worry about. In fact, I think when the League of Villains or other villains show themselves openly, those armored heroes might even become allies on our side, don't you think?"

Although Renault knew that his previous portrayal of Joker, as well as the current All Might's Kamen Rider 1, could be connected by some intelligent and sharp individuals, he didn't expect Midoriya to figure it out so quickly and accurately.

However, as long as his identity wasn't exposed, it didn't matter what they speculated.

After hearing his response, Iida agreed, "That's right, it's not something we need to worry about. Plus, we now have our provisional hero licenses, so whatever they can do, we can do too. We should have confidence that we'll surpass them in the future!"

Honestly, Iida is quite effective as the class president. He seizes every opportunity to encourage others and is wholeheartedly focused on striving to become a Pro Hero. In doing so, he also motivates those around him.

Ten minutes later, the main door opened, and Yaoyorozu walked in.

Although Renault was thrilled during the encounter earlier, he still looked somewhat nervous as she entered.

However, he clearly overthought it. At this moment, Yaoyorozu was in a very good mood. After giving Renault a glance, she greeted the people behind her and said, "Quickly move the things into the kitchen, we'll handle them immediately."

"Yes, Ojou-sama!"

Several movers and a few chefs responded simultaneously and walked into the kitchen together.

After arranging these tasks, Yaoyorozu looked towards the people on the couch and those coming down the stairs, and said, "Everyone! Today, I arranged some high-quality ingredients and invited a few chefs from home. You've all been working hard with your studies recently, so I decided to treat you to a delicious feast and take a break!"

"Oh, a feast!"

"Long live Yaomomo!!!"

"But, is it alright?" Midoriya raised his hand, expressing some concern. "Aizawa-sensei said that if we live in the dormitory, we should take care of these things ourselves, right?"

Yaoyorozu waved her hand dismissively without any worries and said, "It's okay, I already informed Aizawa-sensei. It's a rare occasion, and during the exam preparations, we shouldn't add unnecessary pressure. Besides, it's just for this one meal; tomorrow we'll have to handle things ourselves again as usual."

"Haha! Then it's not a problem!" After bumping Midoriya's shoulder, Kaminari said expectantly, "Yaoyorozu Family's master chef! I've had the pleasure of experiencing your skills before. I already feel hungry!"

Renault glared at Kaminari with annoyance and then threw an apple from the fruit tray, saying, "You don't need to worry about dinner. I think you should focus on your math. Your progress has been minimal these days, and the exams are just around the corner."

"Renault! Can't you let me temporarily forget about that?"

"I'm worried that if you forget, you'll end up forgetting everything you've learned for several days. I'm not concerned about others, but you are really on the edge, young man." Renault waved his hand, picked up his backpack, and headed toward the elevator. "Since there's no need to prepare dinner, I'll go rest for a bit."

In truth, he didn't want to stay here and face Yaoyorozu. He felt somewhat guilty.

Yaoyorozu didn't say anything either. After he left, she chatted with the others for a few moments, checked the progress of the chefs in the kitchen, and then returned to her own room.

Sitting at her desk, Yaoyorozu turned on her computer, opened a chat application, logged in to her account, and clicked on a chat group.

The chat group had only a few people, but the names beside her were...

Midnight, Mt. Lady, Uwabami, Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, Ragdoll.

Each and every one of them was female Pro Heroes.
