Foresight Is Not Omnipotent

According to Renault's statement, Nighteye did not deny it, clearly implying his agreement.

*BANG!*

Fat Gum slammed the table and exclaimed, "Just the thought of it makes me furious! I really want to go and raid his place right away!"

A Pro Hero furrowed his brow and said, "If these two U.A. kids had protected that child properly from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this much trouble now, would we?"

Nighteye shook his head and looked at Togata and Midoriya who were clenching their teeth, and said, "This is all my responsibility. Please don't blame these two. They didn't know the situation back then. When they found out, they both wanted to protect that child in their own way. They are the ones who regret it the most now."

"Argh!"

"Argh!"

Togata and Midoriya couldn't bear it any longer and stood up, looking at Nighteye. They said, ""This time, we must protect Eri-chan!""

"That's our objective this time," Nighteye said calmly, maintaining his composure. "Although it is true that as long as the child is alive, this wouldn't be a problem. However, if someone were to go to their headquarters, the boss would surely hide the core of the plan, that little girl, wouldn't they? In this situation, if she managed to escape somehow, the most critical aspect is that she was recognized by two intern heroes which is you two. In such circumstances, would the girl still stay there calmly and securely? Even if we were to launch an attack, perhaps we wouldn't be able to find her."

"This is indeed a problem. Nighteye, what are your thoughts?" Ryukyu nodded and looked at Nighteye.

Nighteye rested his hands on the table, gestured to his sidekick, and replied, "We don't know the extent of their plans, but if we don't resolve it all at once, they might find an opportunity to strike back. That's why we've been monitoring and listing all the known organizations and their hideouts by all means necessary."

At this moment, a projection screen behind Nighteye displayed a national map with numerous red dots marked on it.

"I want all the heroes present here to assist in searching each location and expose their hideouts," Nighteye declared.

"So that's how it is. That's why even us, second-rate heroes have been called here. These points on the map are all relevant to us, the heroes present in this room, and we are familiar with these areas," said an unassuming Pro Hero in the corner of the meeting room, analyzing the situation while looking at the large screen.

Although he was not well-known and considered himself a 'second-rate hero' with mediocre strength, his years of experience gave him remarkable analytical skills.

Fat Gum, however, expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "Nighteye, you were All Might's old partner, right? You're being overly cautious! At this moment, that girl may be crying and suffering!"

Nighteye showed no change in expression upon hearing All Might's name and replied, "We cannot act as All Might did. That's why we carefully analyzed all the circumstances so that we can increase the chances of saving her to nearly one hundred percent."

Nighteye's response left Fat Gum unable to argue, so he silently sat back down.

In truth, Nighteye didn't want to go through so much trouble. The longer they delayed, the more likely deviations would occur. However, even though he knew Togata and Renault, these two youngsters, were extremely powerful, and Midoriya had the power of One For All and the potential to unleash his full strength in battle, Nighteye still chose to proceed cautiously.

It was a rescue mission, facing such a terrifying yakuza organization with formidable technological capabilities and unknown motives, where a slight mistake could mean the loss of any possibility of a successful rescue.

Therefore, Nighteye couldn't solely rely on individual strength for the plan. Even if All Might, at the peak of his power, stood before him at that moment, he still couldn't make that decision.

Suddenly, Aizawa raised his hand and said, "Nighteye, can I ask a question?"

"Please go ahead."

"I'm not quite familiar with your Quirk, but if you can foresee the future, can you see the outcome for us? At this rate, we won't be able to achieve any unity."

Nighteye's Quirk, Foresight, sounds like a powerful Quirk indeed. However, when Midoriya was discussing it earlier, he also speculated that this ability should have its limitations.

"Well, I can't do that."

As expected, Nighteye gave this response.

"Once I activate my Quirk, I have to wait another 24 hours to use it again and I can only foresee one hour of one person's future. In other words, I can only use it once per day."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa seemed puzzled and said, "Isn't that enough? Even if it's just one hour, you can still see a lot within a week. What do you mean by 'can't do it'?"

Covering the lower half of his face with one hand, Nighteye replied, "If I were to activate my Quirk and foresee someone's death in the near future, what could I do about it? My Quirk can only serve as insurance for the highest probability of success."

"Huh? Even death is information, right? Then you can make a plan to avoid it!"

"It's not about taking chances. There's no evidence to prove that you can avoid that outcome!"

"I'll show you that no matter how many times you foresee me, I'll avoid that outcome!" said a certain dark-skinned Pro Hero persistently.

And in response, Nighteye answered with his usual phrase, "I can't do it."

Renault raised an eyebrow as he looked at Nighteye, who had lowered his head. It seemed that he was also someone with a story, someone who couldn't blindly believe in his own abilities.

After a few seconds of silence, Nighteye stood up and said, "Anyway, our plan is to find that little girl and rescue her. Thank you all for your cooperation. Later, I will provide each of you with the details of the mission individually."

And thus, the meeting came to an end.

The group of U.A. students left the meeting room and entered a lounge in the office, gathering around a table.

Renault took out some candies from his pocket and distributed them to several girls. Midoriya, Togata, and Amajiki declined, not in the mood for sweets.

Opening the candy wrapper and placing it in his mouth, Renault looked at Midoriya and Togata across from him. They didn't speak either, their minds occupied with a series of thoughts.

This operation was evidently a major one, covering the entire country. As for Renault and the other students, they were unlikely to go to other regions. If they were to take action, it would probably only be in the Kanto region.

Hopefully, there would be an opportunity for them to make an appearance.

When dealing with people like that, Renault wouldn't feel any hesitation even if he had to exert all his strength.
