Feast and Hot Springs

"What do you mean by around three hours?!"

"It means the time it would've taken for 'us', sorry~," Mandalay said with a smile that showed no signs of apology.

"I'm starving to death!!!"

Pixie-Bob laughed and said, "I originally thought it would take you even longer. My Earth Beast was conquered faster than expected. You guys are pretty good, especially..."

Pointing at Todoroki, Bakugo, Midoriya, and Iida, "You four can react so quickly because of your experience... Hmph, I really look forward to seeing how you'll be three years from now! Now, let me just spit on you first!"

After speaking, he rushed forward and started circling the three of them, with saliva flying everywhere.

Renault grinned as he watched this scene and guessed a little bit; he was also glad he didn't receive such treatment. But... when he thought of Pixie-Bob's smiling face welcoming him this afternoon, his back went cold. It wasn't nice to put a target on them as senior high first graders...

Meanwhile, Midoriya was blocking the spit and looking at the little boy standing alone over there, asking, "Um, I've been meaning to ask, whose child is over there?"

"Oh..." Mandalay explained, "He's my nephew. Kota, come and say hello to everyone. You'll be living together for a week."

However, the child named Kota still had a cold face.

Midoriya took the initiative to walk over and said, "Um, I'm U.A. High Hero Department's Midoriya Izuku. Nice to meet you, Kota."

With a smile on his face, Midoriya reached out to shake Kota's hand but was met with a direct punch to his groin.

"Oh, that must have hurt," Renault said, wincing as he watched. The other boys had a similar reaction.

Iida rushed over to help him, supporting the pale-faced Midoriya and confronting Kota, who was walking away alone.

"Why did you attack his groin, you little brat?" Iida asked angrily.

"I don't want to hang out with people who just want to be heroes," Kota replied before leaving.

"Hang out? How old are you?" Bakugo asked, surprisingly amused by the situation. "You're a precocious kid."

Todoroki, who had been silently observing, spoke up. "He reminds me of someone," he said while turning his head at Bakugo.

"What? Oi, are you looking for a fight?" Bakugo retorted angrily.

Aizawa intervened, realizing that things were about to escalate. "Stop messing around. Get your luggage from the bus and put it in your rooms. Then go eat at the cafeteria, take a shower, and get some rest. The training camp starts tomorrow, so hurry up!"

The group followed his instructions and brought their luggage down. They turned to Renault and asked him when he arrived.

"Renault-kun! When did you arrive?" someone asked.

"I arrived around noon."

"What? So early?"

"You must have had a great time by yourself all afternoon, huh?"

"Yeah, and I had a really luxurious lunch all by myself."

"Traitor!"

"Jealous!"

Renault laughed and gestured towards the dining room. "Come on in. Dinner is delicious, and since you're tired and hungry, don't waste time. And after dinner, we have hot springs!"

"A feast!"

"Hot springs!"

The dining room was filled with various dishes on two long tables. Although it wasn't as fancy as Renault's lunch, the quantity and allure of the food were not inferior.

"Let's dig in!"

Everyone sat down at the table without even changing their clothes, just washing their face and hands quickly before eagerly picking up their bowls and eating.

After nearly fighting for a whole day, everyone was extremely hungry, and the dishes on the table were visibly decreasing.

"Don't worry, there's more!" Pixie-Bob kept bringing out newly cooked dishes from the back or refilling the bowls of those who had finished their food. "However, taking care of you all is only for today. So, eat as much as you can."

"Thank you!" the group exclaimed.

Compared to the others, Renault's movements were much slower. He looked at Yaoyorozu across from her and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite, Yaoyorozu."

Asked by Renault, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, swallowed what was in her mouth, and then said, "You also knew that my Quirk can convert fat into energy to create various objects. The more I store, the more I can create."

Ah... right, no wonder.

Glancing at her figure, he couldn't help but wonder how she managed to maintain such a great body despite her huge appetite. Was it some kind of natural talent?

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something disrespectful." She said and looked at Renault.

His gaze flickered briefly, but she didn't notice anything amiss, she just sensed something.

"That's definitely your imagination. Hurry up and eat more, I have a feeling tomorrow won't be as easy as today."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just a guess for now, but this training camp won't be too pleasant. It's always better to prepare for the worst. " As he spoke, Renault picked up a piece of pork chop and took a big bite, feeling satisfied. "But these are all things we'll have to consider tomorrow. Let's eat for now. I was thinking of going to the hot springs earlier, but they didn't approve of me going and must wait for all of you."

Hot springs!

At the mention of this, not only Yaoyorozu but also Ashido, Uraraka and the other girls beside them became excited.

However, looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of them, they had to suppress their thoughts for now. Filling their stomachs was the most important thing at the moment.

After a meal, they rested for half an hour and finally went to the outdoor hot springs together.

After taking off their clothes and washing up, Renault happily entered the hot springs.

"This is so comfortable. In the city, there's really no hot spring that can compare to this."

"Ah, Renault, you sneaked off!"

"Wait for me!"

With splashes of water, one by one the boys entered the hot springs and burst out laughing, feeling satisfied.

"Don't enter without washing yourselves properly."

"Don't worry, we know the rules."

However, just when they should have been quietly enjoying the moment, someone suddenly got excited to stir up trouble.
