"This is..."

On the TV screen, Stain, Endeavor, Gran Torino, and several Pro Heroes and police officers were displayed.

Midoriya and the others had already left the scene and headed to the hospital. However, Stain suddenly moved on the screen, spitting out a small blade from his tongue to quickly cut the rope and escape. He then took a katana and charged directly at Endeavor.

However, Stain was in a very poor state and was no match for Endeavor. With Gran Torino's arrival, Stain was instantly suppressed again.

Stain was pinned to the ground by Gran Torino, but he still raised his head and stared at Endeavor with wide eyes, shouting, "Endeavor! You don't deserve to be called a hero! Just wait! As long as I'm still alive, I will continue to correct this world! The impostor... must be corrected..."

Slowly, Stain became motionless on the screen and passed out once again. The Pro Heroes in the video were all shocked by Stain's actions, as were the viewers watching the news on TV. No one could guess what the future impact would be.

"This Stain is really terrifying. His chuuni-ness is so heavy."

Renault shook his head and turned off the TV before heading upstairs. When he entered his room, Renault fell silent. There was a person lying in his bed, undoubtedly Suzushina Yuriko.

Yuriko turned over inside the covers and looked at Renault, saying, "I've claimed this room."

"Don't we have guest rooms or something?"

The girl didn't say anything, just turned over and fell asleep again.

"She's really a selfish younger sister," Renault shrugged, went to the wardrobe, took a set of clean clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower before heading to the training ground.

Sento was waiting for Renault at the training ground, and there were several photos of Nomus on the computer, some with muscular builds and others with the ability to fly.

"Are you investigating the Nomus?" Renault asked.

"No, you need samples to investigate. But these Nomus are all in custody now, so it's unlikely we can investigate them," Sento replied, turning his chair to face Renault. "Or do you want your younger sister to bring one to us?"

"You make it sound so easy," Renault rolled his eyes and refused Sento's request without hesitation.

"I haven't asked you yet, how did she get in?" Renault asked.

"Well, she's your younger sister. How can I stop her from coming in? Besides, if I went out to stop her, she would suspect something, and it wouldn't be good if we ended up fighting," Sento explained.

"Fair enough," Renault said as he sat down in front of the computer and pulled up a photo of Stain.

"What do you think of the Hero Killer Stain?"

"He's just a twisted person who claims to be righteous and tries to "correct" the world with twisted methods. He sounds reasonable, but in the end, he's still a mass murderer. There's not much to say about him," Sento replied without hesitation. He then continued, "Forget about Stain. I want to continue talking about the Nomus. Although we can't get samples to investigate, I secretly hacked into the police system and found the data of the Nomu from the U.S.J. incident. The person who became Nomu was a Quirkless and ordinary person. The principle of Nomu's creation should be related to All For One."

"Take away Quirks and give them to oneself or others? But will having multiple Quirks turn a person into that kind of monster?" Renault asked.

"I don't know. So far, there have been no cases of multiple Quirks, but it's likely that they have been hidden. However, it's beyond doubt that Nomus are not created simply by having multiple Quirks. There are other factors involved. But undoubtedly, this is a cruel and inhumane experiment. It's even worse than the Nebula Gas Experiment," Sento replied. {TN: Nebula Gas in Kamen Rider Build}

As Renault spoke, Sento's expression grew solemn.

"I really wish we could find the place where Nomus are made and destroy it once and for all."

"If we can do it, I'll bring you along. You better be strong," Renault said, patting Sento's shoulder before preparing to leave. "I won't be training tonight. I'm going to rest."

"Goodnight."

Renault found his own room occupied by his younger sister, so he had to rest in the adjacent guest room. The next morning, Renault returned to his room and found that Yuriko had already left, leaving the cup neatly stacked.

"Did she leave so early?"

After changing his clothes and having breakfast, Renault was about to go to the hospital when he saw a police car parked in front of his house. Two men in black suits leaned against the car door.

Upon seeing Renault, they walked up to him and presented their police badges, saying, "Renault, you were involved in the incident in Hosu City last night. We need you to come with us to understand the details."

"To the police station?"

"No, to the Hosu City General Hospital. Midoriya Izuku, Iida Tenya, and Todoroki Shoto are currently receiving medical treatment there, and we need to question all of you together."

"Okay, let's go."

Renault did not refuse and got into the police car. The two officers were kind and did not give him a hard time, driving him directly to the hospital.

Outside the ward, a man in a dog-headed suit, Gran Torino, and the hero guide for Iida's internship were all waiting. When they saw Renault arrive, the man in the dog-headed suit nodded to the two officers before turning to Renault and saying, "Come in."

Renault could tell that this person, although he had a somewhat distinctive appearance, held a high position within the police station.

Upon entering the hospital room, Midoriya and the other two were already awake and wearing hospital gowns.

"Ah! Renault-kun!" Midoriya exclaimed upon seeing him, but his expression froze upon noticing the presence of another person besides Renault and the two Pro Heroes.

After motioning for Renault to sit down, the man with the dog-like head spoke up, "You four schoolmates are the U.A. students who subdued Stain last night, right, woof? Hello, I am Kenji, Chief of Hosu City Police Station."

Chief?

Renault was surprised. He hadn't expected the person he was meeting to be the chief.

And... woof?

Midoriya and the others were also taken aback by the man's peculiar behavior.

Todoroki's expression darkened as he thought about what might be happening. "May I ask why the chief of Hosu Police Station has come to see us?"

"As U.A. students, you should know that using your Quirks without proper authorization, even as intern heroes, can have serious consequences," Chief Kenji replied.

The four fell silent.
