Chapter 14: Drawing Lots, Teammate and Opponent
The two rabbit ear-like decorations on top of his head and the row of laughing teeth underneath his face mask, isn't this just a mimicry of All Might? Midoriya Izuku is truly a fanatic fan of All Might. But speaking broadly, basically, all Class A students could be considered All Might's fans, just varying in degrees.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, All Might nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, everyone looks very cool! Now, it's time for battle trial."
At this point, Iida Tenya raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question. This is the exercise field we used during the entrance exam. Is this battle trial similar to the simulation street block exercise?"
"No, this time it will be even more challenging." All Might shook his finger and said, "Although most of the battles we've seen before have taken place outdoors, statistically speaking, the probability of encountering strong enemies indoors is higher. Imprisonment, house arrest, underground transactions, in this hero-saturated society, the truly cunning enemies are all lurking in the darkness."
"Lurking in the darkness?"
Listening to All Might's explanation, Renault also had a deep understanding. He had seen many professional heroes fighting criminals in the past and had even participated in some of them himself.
'Those criminals, how should I put it, were just robbers and assaulters, much weaker compared to the big bosses who manipulate everything behind the scenes in novels and movies.'
Compared to ordinary criminals who leave tracks, these cunning enemies in the darkness are indeed more difficult to deal with. Once they appear, it will become very troublesome. At this point, All Might began to explain the rules of the combat training. "Next, you will be divided into villain and hero teams and engage in indoor 2 VS 2 combat."
"Do we not need to do basic training?"
"This is the practice to understand the basics! However, the focus of this exercise is no longer just destroying robots."
As he was about to continue, other students began to ask questions.
"What is the condition for determining victory or defeat?"
"Can we knock someone out?"
"Will there be punishment like expulsion from the school like what happened with Aizawa-sensei?"
"How will the groups be divided?"
The questions came one after another.
In this situation, it was clear that All Might, who was teaching for the first time, was not well prepared. After a few awkward seconds, he pulled out a small notebook.
"Listen carefully. The scenario is that the enemy has hidden a nuclear weapon in a stronghold, and the hero must go and eliminate this threat. The hero needs to catch the enemy within a limited time or successfully recover the nuclear weapon. As for the outline and opponent..." At this point, All Might pulled out a ballot box, "We will draw lots to determine that!"
"Drawing lots? Isn't that too casual?" Renault asked.
"Well, after all, Pro Heroes often have to work with unfamiliar heroes to complete a mission. This is also a test of our ability to cooperate on the spot," All Might explained as he started to draw lots.
Renault walked up to him and put his hand in the lottery box. "But since the opponent is a classmate, we need to restrain ourselves a bit," he added.
Hearing this, All Might knew what Renault meant and whispered, "Young Renault, please don't use any life-threatening methods, okay?"
"I know, I know. After all, we're classmates," Renault replied, taking out a small ball with the letter "A" printed on it. "Haahh... looks like I'm the first one."
The others followed suit and drew lots. After grouping, each team had a partner and an opponent. Renault was partnered with Yaoyorozu Momo and they were both in the villain team. Their opponents were Todoroki Shoto and Shoji Mezo in the hero team.
Upon seeing the grouping of the first teams, everyone was excited. Two recommended students were on these teams, and they were both ranked higher than the previous year's top student. It seemed that the first battle would be intense.
"Well then, the two teams of the first round can go and prepare. Other students can go to the monitoring room to observe their match, which is also a way to gain experience," All Might instructed.
Soon, Renault and Yaoyorozu Momo arrived at a building with the help of All Might. After reaching the fifth floor, the two saw a nuclear weapon model that was about three meters high and placed there.
"So, we have to protect this thing." Renault walked up and knocked on the model, then looked at Yaoyorozu Momo and smiled, "But I didn't expect that in the first battle trial, we would play the role of the villain."
"Renault-kun, you don't seem to be worried at all? Our opponent is Todoroki Shoto, and his abilities are quite difficult to deal with. He has significant limitations on us," Yaoyorozu Momo said as she walked up to Renault.
"What's there to worry about? Instead of that, we might as well make a good tactical plan." Renault leaned on the model and said, "This time, let me be the main attacker. Compared to defense, I prefer offense. Yaoyorozu, you can assist me."
"What should I do?" Yaoyorozu Momo also understood her own role and knew that to exert her combat effectiveness, she needed to be prepared. However, time did not allow them to do so.
"I will take care of Todoroki. Also, you know the nature of Dupli-Arms, right?" Nodding, Yaoyorozu Momo said, "Dupli-Arms can also copy other organs. That means he can quickly locate our position using this method, right?"
"Correct. That's why I need you to make some devices to prevent him from analyzing our position. Then, on this floor and the fourth floor, set up some small explosive devices. They don't need to have too much power, just enough to obstruct his vision and movement, and delay time."
"Is that all?"
"Don't forget that our battle trial has a time limit. I will handle the battle below, and you just need to arm the places that need to be guarded. Is that okay? Of course, if you are confident, you can contact me at the time, and I will give you the enemy to deal with."
As Renault spoke, he tapped the wireless earphones he was wearing.
After pondering for a moment, Yaoyorozu Momo nodded and said, "I understand. I'll start now. I have ten minutes, which is enough time for me to set up some things. If you take the initiative to attack, Renault-kun, I'll have time to make further arrangements."
After speaking, Yaoyorozu Momo began to mobilize her Quirk and create the necessary items.
Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, although only All Might wearing headphones could hear the conversation between the two, everyone else could tell from their interactions that Renault and Yaoyorozu Momo had already formulated a plan.
In the corner, Bakugo Katsuki watched Renault walk out of the room with a pile of things on the screen and slowly clenched his fist.
