Pass the Buck

As the end of the school day approached, the treated Midoriya Izuku finally returned to the classroom. His right hand was severely injured, and even though it had been treated, it was still in a cast and well-protected. However, when he returned to the classroom, he was surprised to receive a welcome from almost everyone. After all, his performance in the battle had been outstanding. He had stood up to Bakugo Katsuki's attacks and even created opportunities for Uraraka Ochaco.

Although Renault and Todoroki Shoto had also performed exceptionally well in the previous battle, MIdoriya Izuku had shown a different kind of spirit. Despite the fact that his Quirk could harm himself, he persevered and relied on his own intelligence to ultimately win. This spirit was something that everyone could learn from.

When faced with the surrounding classmates, Midoriya Izuku was somewhat at a loss, but Renault approached him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Renault?"

"Remember today's training well. Your Quirk is certainly strong, but you should have confidence in yourself." Renault pointed to his own head. "I look forward to the day when you can fully control your Quirk."

"Okay! I'll do my best!"

After saying goodbye to the others, Renault left the building, got on his motorcycle, and left the school. Although it was only the first day of battle training and nothing had been announced, Renault had noticed that all the students in the class had the potential to become excellent heroes. This made Renault, who had never had much of a feeling about it, somewhat uneasy.

"I was the top scorer when I entered school. I can't let anyone surpass me."

In the following days, Renault continued with his normal routine. He attended classes during the day and received hero training at U.A. High School. In addition to regular classes, there were also many bizarre training courses. At night, Renault continued his second round of training in the basement.

However, as the first few days of school passed, the news that All Might have become a teacher at U.A. also leaked out.

Who is All Might? He is the strongest and most popular Number One Hero in Japan. Even on a global scale, he is at the top of the pyramid. For such a hero to come to U.A. and become a teacher for the freshmen, it was a piece of explosive news!

Therefore, early in the morning, countless reporters waited in front of the gate of U.A. High School, waiting for All Might and the students to arrive at school.

As usual, Renault rode his motorcycle to school, unaware of all this.

As he approached the school, Renault noticed a large crowd gathered around the school gate, holding microphones and cameras. He realized they were all journalists. However, he had no intention of stopping.

Instead, Renault twisted the throttle and accelerated towards the gate. The group of journalists who were interviewing Midoriya Izuku turned their heads upon hearing the engine roar behind them.

"Is this a student from U.A. High School?"

"Should we stop him? We might be able to get some useful information!"

Despite their discussion, no one chose to move aside. They believed that U.A. students wouldn't do anything wrong since they were just students. However, this so-called student in front of them was Renault, who had no affection for the journalists, especially those who were blocking the school gate early in the morning.

Renault released his grip on the handlebars and used his left hand to control the air, calculating the force needed to push the journalists away. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand toward Midoriya Izuku and said, "Midoriya, grab on!"

Midoriya Izuku was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran out of the crowd and grabbed Renault's hand as he rode by. He then leaped onto the back seat of the motorcycle.

The next second, Renault manipulated the air around him and directly shook the journalists away, creating a space for the motorcycle to pass through. Because Renault controlled the force specifically, the journalists were not injured.

Regarding the complaint? Renault only controlled a bit of air, and even the cameras couldn't capture much. And U.A. would be even less likely to help these reporters.

Once they entered the school, the reporters didn't dare to follow, and Renault also slowed down his speed. After parking the motorcycle, Renault took off his helmet and said helplessly, "That's why I hate reporters the most, especially those who don't know their place and dare to block the gates of U.A."

"Thank you so much, Renault."

"It's nothing. Let's go. We're about to start class."

After patting Midoriya Izuku's shoulder, the two walked toward the teaching building. When they entered the classroom, they found that everyone who had already arrived was complaining about the reporters outside.

There was no way to interview All Might during his mission in America, but now that he was teaching at U.A., the reporters had a much greater opportunity to catch him before and after school. For the sake of their news, these reporters wouldn't hesitate to do whatever it takes.

After sitting down at his desk, Renault looked out the window towards the reporters still outside the school gate and said calmly, "U.A. should take action soon."

Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, steel barriers were erected at the school gate, blocking it completely.

"Well, that should solve the problem," Renault said.

Finally, things returned to calm, and they began their class.

Today's first class topic, however, was... running for class president? After 20 minutes, Renault looked at the name on the blackboard with the most votes, and his mouth twitched slightly. Aizawa Shota, after tallying the votes, nodded and said, "So, Renault will be the class president and the vice president will be Yaoyorozu Momo. That's settled for now. Let's start preparing for the next class. The elections for other class committee positions will be held in the afternoon."

How could it end like this? Renault immediately raised his hand and said, "Aizawa-sensei, can I give up the position of class president? I don't think I'm suitable for that position."

"Hmm?" Aizawa Shota looked at Renault and said, "Why?"

"I'm a bit lazy and I don't want to deal with so many things. I prefer to spend my time honing my own Quirk."

After hearing Renault's explanation, Aizawa Shota looked at him and realized that over the past few days, as the class teacher, he could clearly feel that Renault was making progress every day. Although others had also improved, it was not as noticeable as Renault's. Obviously, what he said was not a lie.

After thinking for a moment, Aizawa Shota calmly said, "But now the voting results are out, and you are the class president. As for who you want to pass the position to, it's up to you to decide."

"Is that so? Then let me think about it."

Nodding, Renault began to think about whom to pass the responsibility of being class president to.
