Sink Into Tokyo Bay

After taking a shower and changing into her school swimsuit, Mikoto finally arrived at the public swimming pool.

Seeing her looking a bit timid, Renault smiled and said, "Don't delay, come over here quickly."

"Okay."

Although she felt a bit shy seeing him in his swim trunks and shirtless, she suppressed her embarrassment and ran over to his side, saying to everyone, "Hello senpai, nice to meet you, I'm Misaka Mikoto."

"Ah, junior sister is here!"

Seeing Mikoto arrive, the other girls also ran over and introduced themselves.

As for the boys...

Kaminari and Mineta said with foolish expressions, "Senpai~~~"

Renault looked at the two of them speechlessly, then exchanged a glance with Iida. They each grabbed one of the boys and walked toward the edge of the pool.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Let go of me, Renault!"

When they reached the pool's edge, Renault said to Grape in his hand, "We're here to train today. You've already warmed up, so it's time to start moving."

"No way! Today is already miserable enough, and I don't even see a bikini! At least let the junior sister call me senpai a few more times!"

"... I feel like it would be better for you to sink into Tokyo Bay."

"!!!" Turning slowly, Mineta looked at Renault, who was "smiling" at him, and then without hesitation, he said, "I love training. If anyone stops me from training, I'll be angry!"

Without waiting for Renault's help, Mineta jumped into the pool himself.

Kaminari looked at Grape's pitiful appearance and regretted his decision, saying, "I shouldn't have teamed up with this guy. It's so embarrassing..."

Then Iida pushed him into the pool.

"Kaminari-kun, to avoid scaring the underclassmen, you should calm down first."

There had been something happening on the Renault side, and the girls had also noticed.

Ashido smiled and took Mikoto's arm, saying, "Mikoto-chan, everyone in the class is very friendly, so don't feel restrained. However, you should be careful around those two people, especially that short guy Mineta. He's a personification of lust. But seeing how much Renault-kun cares for you, we probably don't need to worry. Come on, let's go do some warm-up exercises."

"Okay..." Mikoto nodded, looking over at Renault.

"Go ahead and train a bit, but today's goal is mainly for relaxation," Renault also realized that today was supposed to be a self-training day, but the intensity of the training won't be too high. It's mainly for relaxation, which is the final collective activity before the forest training camp.

Since they were all girls and only one year apart in age; Yaoyorozu and Tsuyu also had already met her before, Mikoto quickly became acquainted with the other girls.

However...

Looking at the impressive figures of the other girls, who still looked stunning even in their school swimsuits, Mikoto glanced at her own figure and let out a soft sigh.

Jiro also noticed Mikoto's gaze and patted her shoulder, saying, "You're thinking the same thing as me, right? It's really unfair."

"Yeah!"

Of all the girls, the only two with unimpressive figures, even approaching flatness, suddenly felt a sense of empathy.

On the other side, after finishing his warm-up exercises, Renault also started to try swimming.

With a simple half-baked swimming technique, Renault could manage a leisurely swim, but racing or even underwater rescue were beyond his consideration.

After slowly swimming to the other side, Renault emerged from the water, sat on the ground, wiped the water off his face, and shook his head, saying, "I wonder if coming here was the right decision."

Unexpectedly, Todoroki walked over and sat next to Renault, commenting on the boys who were competing in the pool, "I didn't expect you to be bad at swimming."

"Well, nobody is perfect, right?" Renault adjusted his hair and smiled as he watched Mikoto being led into the water by the girls. "Although I could still fight on water if necessary, there are many Pro Heroes who are good at water-based activities. Like our classmate Tsuyu-chan, in a special environment, I am definitely not as flexible as she is. But there's no need to be good at everything, right?"

"You're good at making excuses," Todoroki remarked.

"I see that you're pretty good at speaking now too. Has your true nature been unleashed?" Renault turned to Todoroki, surprised.

"Being in this class for a while will make anyone change a little," Todoroki replied, looking over at Bakugo, who had just arrived and was being dragged over by Kirishima. "Can you say that guy hasn't changed at all?"

"That's true, but his annoying side is as unchanged as ever."

"Huh?" Bakugo, who was trying to break free from Kirishima's grip, suddenly felt something and turned his gaze towards Renault and Todoroki. "Hey, you two, are you talking something about me? Don't think I don't know!"

He started running towards them.

"This guy's perception is a little too sharp, isn't it?" Renault chuckled and prepared to go underwater to avoid him.

Fortunately, besides Kirishima, Bakugo also had Kaminari by his side, and the two of them grabbed onto Bakugo together.

Kirishima said, "Alright, Bakugo, we're here to relax today. Let's just have some fun, okay?"

"What kind of fun? I need to go find out what those two were saying about me, dammit!" Bakugo was very suspicious. He was sure that those two were talking badly about him.

Iida, who noticed the situation, felt a headache coming on. He had to use the plan he had just thought up and said, "Alright, Bakugo-kun, calm down. Since today is a swimming pool activity, why don't we have a race?"

"Hmm? A race for what?"

As soon as he heard the word "race," Bakugo's attention was immediately drawn.

Iida pointed to the swimming lane and explained, "A straight 50-meter freestyle race. Let's see who can reach the other side first, okay?"

"Sure, but everyone has to participate!" Bakugo pointed to Renault and Todoroki.

All the boys responded enthusiastically to Bakugo's suggestion, and even Renault had to agree.

"But just so you know, I'm not good at freestyle or anything like that. I'll just play around," Renault said.

And so, the boys were divided into three groups for the race, and two members from each group were selected to compete in the final round.

Of course, they could also use their Quirks, since they were in school.

Renault, in a spirit of fun, went straight into the first group.

"On your marks... get set... GO!!!"

In an instant, everyone jumped into the water except for one person.

"Blasting Speed Turbo!"

Bakugo was seen jumping into the air, his hands continuously exploding as he sprinted from the air to the finish line without even touching the water with his feet.

"Oi! Are you cheating?! Is that even swimming?!!"

"Shut up! Aren't we allowed to use our Quirks?!!! If you have the guts, use yours too!"
