Operation Briefing

The matter of taking leave for Renault had been taken care of by All Might and Aizawa long ago, without any issues.

After having lunch, Renault secretly left the school.

Without hesitation, he immediately 'Henshin' into Kamen Rider Evol—Black Hole Form and arrived at the location informed by All Might.

A black sedan had been waiting here for a while.

Nighteye's sidekick, Bubble Girl, opened the car door as soon as she saw Renault and welcomed him inside.

In the backseat, Nighteye glanced at the person who sat down and pushed his glasses up. "Do we need to wear our gear even in a place like this?"

"Well, although my appearance can be found in the committee's database, it still suits me better this way." A slightly cocky voice came from Renault's helmet.

Nighteye didn't respond and gestured to the sidekick to start the car. He turned to Evolto, who he was meeting for the first time. "Before we discuss official business, I want to thank you for your help to All Might."

"The battle of Kamino, right?"

"Including what happened afterward."

Upon hearing Nighteye's words and the way he talked vaguely, Renault understood. Nighteye hadn't told his office sidekick about All Might's condition and obtaining the Typhoon Belt.

Now Renault knew what to say.

"It was just a coincidence. I don't really need that thing, but since All Might is a hero I admire, it's worth it and adds an extra layer of security."

"Regardless, as All Might's former sidekick and his friend, I need to express my gratitude. If you ever need my help with anything, feel free to visit my office."

"Well, thank you very much for that."

After several encounters with Nighteye, Renault had come to understand his personality. He knew Nighteye was a person of few words.

However, Renault was somewhat worried that Nighteye might use his Quirk on him. If that happened, it could potentially reveal his true identity. But then again, it didn't matter much. The principal knew, and Nighteye was someone who could be trusted. If he knew, it wouldn't be a problem.

Besides, Renault didn't think Nighteye was the type of person to act so casually. He was unlikely to investigate Renault like that.

Moving on, the two of them discussed the mission they were about to undertake.

Nighteye took out a file folder and handed several photos to Renault. "These are photos of secret personnel sent by the Public Security Agency, obtained through investigation."

Taking the photos, Renault noticed they depicted Nomu in incubation chambers and an ordinary-looking office building from the outside.

The photos were taken discreetly, with awkward angles indicating they were not shot normally. Nevertheless, the amount of information they contained was significant.

Nighteye continued speaking as Renault looked through the photos. "This is a discovered hideout in Tokyo, belonging to that doctor. Unfortunately, although we know the location, we haven't uncovered any more classified information about the hideout."

"More classified information? Are you saying there's something other than Nomu there?" Renault asked.

"It's possible," Nighteye nodded. "As you can see, we have someone infiltrated the League of Villains and followed them to this location, taking a batch of Nomu with them. But we also discovered a room with multiple password locks that nobody is allowed to enter. Inside, there could be even more powerful Nomu or something else entirely. In any case, it's an unknown danger that must be controlled."

"The doctor's secret, huh? Sounds interesting," Renault chuckled as he handed the photos back to Nighteye. "Can you tell me the specific date for the mission?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"That's sooner than I expected."

"We can't risk any information leaks. The sooner we act, the better. And for that, I've made some preparations," Nighteye said earnestly, leaning back in the rear seat.

"Alright, since I've agreed, I'll definitely participate," Renault replied.

Soon, the car arrived at Nighteye's office, where the Pro Heroes involved in the mission and representatives from the police had gathered. Endeavor, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady were among them.

Seeing Nighteye and Evolto, Kamui Woods whispered, "Is that Evolto? The one who assisted All Might's people in the Battle of Kamino and helped Endeavor defeat Nomu?"

Mt. Lady nodded, "He's very strong, and nobody knows where he came from. It's quite mysterious. Oh, Endeavor is approaching!"

Indeed, Endeavor walked towards Renault.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon," Endeavor said, a hint of nostalgia in his expression as he stood in front of Renault.

Renault looked Endeavor up and down and said, "It seems you've mastered your newly acquired strength well, and you seem to be in a good mood too."

"Well, I've made some progress, in various aspects..." Endeavor replied vaguely.

After observing the two, Nighteye said, "Now that all the personnel are here, let's go to the conference room and give a briefing on this mission."

Following Nighteye's narration, the group understood the operational strategy for the mission. The Pro Heroes, led by Endeavor and Evolto, would confront any potential villainous Nomu, while the police would act as support and provide perimeter security to prevent anyone from escaping.

Pointing at the building photos on the projection, Nighteye explained, "We managed to obtain the architectural design of the building, but we've also confirmed that there have been significant modifications inside. Therefore, we can't rely entirely on the design plans. Our priority in this operation is speed. We can't give the enemy any chance to react or let any Nomu slip away. As for the secret room inside the hideout, we need to gain control and prevent anything inside from being moved."

Endeavor crossed his arms and looked at the projection, "I know the location of this building, but I never expected it to be a villain hideout. Have the surveillance personnel been arranged?"

"Of course," Nighteye nodded. "The surveillance is being handled by my office, so there's no need to worry. When the time comes, everyone should follow my lead. I'll be on-site to maintain control of the situation."

While the heroes were planning their operation, inside the soon-to-be-targeted hideout...

The 'doctor', stood in a visibly different cultivation tank, observing the figure curled up within it with an increasingly deranged expression.

"It's almost time. It's about to be completed—my masterpiece. Crafted based on that woman's strength. My greatest creation! With this, whether it's heroes or All For One, unless this world loses its voice, you will all live in my shadow! Hahaha!"

In the cultivation fluid, a figure with long purple hair slept, the figure's closed eyes showing faint signs of movement.
