Sports Festival Arrived

This afternoon's class was the same as the previous few days.

After receiving their usual Foundational Hero Studies lessons, the Class A students went to their respective training sites. Renault chose a forest as his location, purely because he thought it was quieter and would help him relax. Sitting on the grass, Renault continued his training, which was the same as before.

Between his hands, a sphere with a diameter of about 20 centimeters made of air was continuously spinning at high speed. The size was the limit that Renault could currently control, and if it got any larger, the energy required and the difficulty would increase exponentially.

"However, this move cannot be used as a long-range technique. If it is thrown... " Renault said, as he threw the sphere. Although it maintained its shape at a distance of two meters initially, it gradually dissipated and lost all of its power as it flew farther away.

Then, Renault reformed another sphere and walked over to a large tree. He took a deep breath and suddenly pressed the "Rasengan" in his hand against the trunk of the tree.

"Sizzle!"

"Boom!"

With a violent rotation and impact, the tree, which was nearly one meter thick, was directly split in half and fell to the ground.

"The power is still acceptable, but it needs to be adjusted, including the condensation time, power, and size. I need to practice until I can control it with ease. After mastering this technique, I will move on to other techniques. Time waits for no one," Renault said.

In contrast to Renault, who was already developing various techniques, other Class A students were still working on refining their Quirks. For example, Kirishima Eijiro jumped from the rooftop after activating his Hardening Quirk, smashing into the ground to train and increase the hardness of his Quirk. Tokoyami Fumikage was in a special room where he subjected himself to high-powered lights to improve his Quirk, Dark Shadow's endurance.

Of course, some students must have secret techniques that they have not yet revealed, waiting for the right moment to surprise everyone.

Apart from the most serious people, there are also those who are in a slacking state, and that person is none other than Mineta Minoru.

This Grape Boy is enjoying his slacking time to the fullest. Although Renault had mentioned that Class A students should compete, it was more of a competition among their peers that was far beyond the other classes. However, Renault was not sure whether the Grape Boy should be included in this competition.

Grape's Quirk is actually quite good. The grape-like spheres on his head have an extremely strong adhesive force. Renault has also tried it and found that as long as it is not separated from his skin using his reflection, it is almost impossible to remove once it sticks.

It is an extremely strong control-type Quirk. However, unfortunately, Grape's mentality is simply not good. Hopefully, he will understand this and work harder in the future.

As time went by, the Class A students gradually forgot about the villain's invasion during the U.S.J. incident and focused on preparing for the Sports Festival.

On Saturday, after Renault and Misaka Mikoto finished their training, they rested in the living room while drinking beverages and eating snacks.

After taking a shower in Renault's bathroom, Misaka Mikoto, who was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, took a sip of her drink and asked, "Senpai, the Sports Festival is opening in two days. Do you know what events we'll be competing in?"

"Even we students who are participating in the event don't know the events. They will only be announced on the day of the opening ceremony," Renault replied with a smile as he looked at the hardworking girl in front of him. "Why, are you interested?"

"Of course!" Misaka Mikoto nodded excitedly.

"My mom promised me and even managed to get tickets to the U.A. Sports Festival for us to watch the competition live!"

Although the venue for the U.A. Sports Festival was huge, it was a national-level event that had captured the attention of entire Japan, so there were a lot of people who wanted to attend the event. As a result, tickets were like gold dust, and even for students like them, it was almost impossible to obtain tickets for their friends and family, unless you were a Top Hero or affiliated with the Hero Office and had a valid reason to acquire tickets.

Renault was surprised that Misaka Misuzu was able to obtain tickets for the event. Seeing Renault's curious expression, Misaka Mikoto explained, "My mom's former college professor knows a lot of Pro Heroes. She contacted one of them who will be on patrol duty that day and got two tickets for us."

"I see," Renault said, understanding the situation.

"In that case, how about I show you around U.A. when we get there?" Renault asked.

"Huh? Is that okay? Don't you have to prepare for the competition?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"Nah, It'll be before we enter the venue, and I've already prepared enough. There's no use trying to cram at the last minute. Do you need me to show you around, Mikoto?" Renault smiled.

"No...um...if you want to, I don't mind," Misaka Mikoto said, acting tsundere.

"Okay, then it's settled. Call me by phone before you arrive in U.A.," Renault said.

"Okay."

------------------------

Two days passed quickly.

On this day, U.A., which had always been off-limits to outsiders, was decked out in grandeur and festivity. Everywhere you looked, there was an air of excitement.

Upon entering the school gate, there was a bustling street full of various small shops, all contracted out, selling snacks and small games even more lively than the usual temple fairs. Moreover, here, one could see some heroes that were only seen during missions, and even some popular Pro Heroes could be seen.

After receiving a call from Misaka Mikoto, Renault, wearing a dark-blue sports suit, came to the school gate and waited, ready to take Misaka Mikoto and Misaka Misuzu for a stroll before the opening ceremony. This was also to help Misaka Mikoto, a future U.A. student, become familiar with the school.

After waiting for about five minutes, a taxi stopped at the school gate, and then Renault saw the mother and daughter pair of Misaka coming down in casual clothes.

"Renault-kun."

"Good morning, Renault-senpai."

"Hello, there's still some time before the opening ceremony, so let me take you for a tour around here first." After greeting them, Renault had two people show their credentials to the guard at the gate and then began to tour around U.A.

"Wow! Although I have seen some images of U.A. on TV, this is the first time I've walked in like this." Misaka Mikoto said with shining eyes as she looked at the bustling U.A.

"Unfortunately, the teaching area is not open, so I can't take you to see the teaching building. For now, let's go there, and if we're lucky, we might be able to see many famous Pro Heroes." Renault suggested, pointing to the street full of shops.

"Okay, let's go!"

Meanwhile, in Class 1-A's resting room, the atmosphere started to become tense as Renault took his guests on a tour.
