My Hero Characters react to "Izuku the Reincarnated Chef" Chapter 5
Hello everyone and welcome to the 5th chapter of My Hero Characters react to "Izuku the Reincarnated Chef". With me again is my friend, partner, and co-writer/author, JoySeeker101.
Joy: Good day to you.
Today, we get to see what happens when reactors see something funny. I don't like the number 2 hero, he should have gotten help after his son's death, not bottle it up to the point where he became what he became.
Joy: The number of people with issues in MHA is way too high. Psychologists there are seriously lacking.
That or people are too prideful to get help, thinking it shows weakness or you have a problem. It's not that far off from real life.
Joy: Pride precedes the fall. And Enji was made to fall way too hard. It goes even beyond, to the point it is almost a parody. Just one of the MANY wrong things left unchecked in MHA for plot reasons.
... Maybe Enji should get help from Izuku? In both stories?
Joy: I know Izu is a miracle worker, but I believe the term is not literal.
Hey, he healed All Might, he might be able to heal Endeavor as well. Anyways, enough on that. Did you bring in today's guest?
Joy: ... I thought you were the one supposed to bring them.
I let us switch between bringing in guests.
Joy: Uh... Fancy... Who was I supposed to bring?
Anyone who was in the reaction story watching.
Joy: Did we already use Melk?
No we did not. You can bring her in.
Joy: Gimme a Sec...
Melk: "I am walking! I am walking! Stop pushing!"
Joy: Here she is!
Welcome Melk, how are you today?
Melk: "I was told I needed to come here and was pretty much kidnapped. Other than that, I am good. Thank you."
Joy: SORRY!
I apologize for my partner, he can be eccentric...
Joy: Among other things.
(Sigh) Anyways... Melk, would you do the disclaimer please?
Melk: "I can. Neither JoySeeker or Angel He_Art or Xara own the rights to MHA, Toriko or Gourmet of Another World. Please support the official release."
Thank you Melk~ Now onto the story.

Chapter 5: Watching Episode Four, "The Pro Hero who wept because of a Spicy Dish"
(Meeting Room)
All of the members of Izuku's lovers were in the meeting room, now with three out of the four Wild Wild Pussy Cats.
"Waaay more people than I expected," Pixie Bob admitted with a whistle.
"Well he is a good man," Ragdoll stated. "And a new god needs a lot of Gods and Goddesses/Angels by his side~"
"Seriously, you two take Thirsty to a whole new level." Mandalay commented in dismay.
"Should we have brought Mt. Lady as well?" Melissa asked the others.
"Eeeh! Good question... Is she interested?" Mina asked.
"Well I think Midnight is interested in both mother and son, ribbit," Tsu stated bluntly. "Though I think she's into Mrs. Midoriya more..."
"Always thought she was more of the Yuri type." Setsuna said, laughing.
"She might be Bi," Yui stated bluntly.
"Eh! Wouldn't put it past her," Jiro stated, bordly.
"Well, anyways, we'll bring them in for the next meeting as well," Momo stated. She turned to the three female members of the WWPC. "We have a few things to go over. First of all; the three pro heroines that are interested in Izuku."
"He gave me back my Quirk, he gave me back my Ragdoll side, and besides being a good friend I just... Enjoy him. Nothing wrong with that?" Tomoko said.
"You know the Forever 18 spiel I go through sometimes? He seconds it seriously and actually sees me as a girl, not as an Old Woman many already labeled me as just because I am over 30. He understands." Pixie added.
"..."
"It's not just gratitude for saving Kota, isn't it?" Momo asked with a gentle smile.
"... No..." Mandalay admitted with a neon-red face. "... Well part of it..."
"Uh-hu?"
"She may have a Shota fetish,"
"TOMOKO!"
"AH-ha! You are a perv too! How the mighty fall!" Pixie said.
She glares at her two partners. "If you don't shut up, I'll tell Tiger who ate the last bucket of his favorite ice cream..."
"BETRAYAL!" Both girls screamed in chorus.
Everyone tried to hold back their laughter.
"Okay, okay. I guess we have to accept them in our group then," Itsuka said, chuckling.
"And Izuku's food does help with reducing the aging, downright reversing, the process in people," Jiro stated. "So they might look like us, sooner or later."
"That too helped, removing the Age Barrier makes it less guilty." Pixie answered.
"I do think he likes anyone who's pretty in his eyes, ribbit," Tsu stated. She then blushed a bit. "He did tell me I was cute..."
"You know? I think he is unknowingly holding back a lot in terms of libido. I mean... Have you seen how HARD he kissed Ochaco at the first occasion?" Toru said.
"Hehehehehehehehe!" The giddy Ochaco only gave a happy giggle in answer as she floated around the room.
"How was it, actually?" Yui asked bluntly.
"It was- He was- Just wow~" she answered in a dreamy tone of voice.
"Unfair. Unfair, unfair, unfair!" Pony pouted, shaking her arms up and down.
"Well, why don't we do some girl on girl action to make him more aroused~" Ochako stated, actually floating over to Pony, the same smirk on her face Izuku had.
"Did she just control her own Gravitational pull to float around?" Jiro asked in surprise.
"UH?! NEAT! I can finally use this now! YESSS!" Ochaco cheered.
"But what was that about girl on girl action, shrum?" Kinoko asked.
"Deku-kun admitted he noticed, and liked, us in short shorts. Maybe a Shock like two girls going at it and then asking him to join the threesome will finally make him snap, take us and-"
"I think they got the picture!" Ibara, face red, said while forcefully covering Tsuyu's mouth with both hands.
"Or maybe even an orgy with all the girls~" Ochako asked, giggling teasingly at the others.
"I don't think he will be able to-"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The chorus of laughs from the other girls easily eclipsed Mandalay's words.
"What's so funny?" Ragdoll asked, looking lost.
"We saw him fight and train... He CAN get through all of us in one go like a tank." Mina said.
"Can we add how Ochaco seemed to awaken her pervert side from Izuku's kiss?" Jiro asked.
"I was holding back, but if Deku-kun releases his own Stud side, I can release my Pervy Side for his sake. Just and only for him." Ochaco answered, floating upside-down with an innocent smile.
"And us," Momo added. "You seem to show it around us as well."
"Well I do like both genders as well~" Ochako teased.
"Good, I do have a few things I want to try with a girl as well other than boys." Jiro said.
"Oh! Me too." Yui admitted.
"... You youngsters are wilder than what I believed." Ragdoll admitted.
"Pot meet kettle~" Ochako teased again.
Momo giggles. "Alright. So has anyone come up with a name for our group?" she asked them all.
"Name?" the three newest members asked.
"Not really. We are still unsure about it... Emerald Pride seems to get some votes, but nothing certain yet." Momo admitted.
"Oh~ Like a pride of lions and lionesses~" Ragdoll stated, giddy.
"That was the basic idea, since none of us can really be called weak by any sense of the word." Mei answered.
"Okay then. Anything else we wish to address?" Momo asked everyone.
"Any roles? Rankings? Dibs called?" Ragdoll asked.
"Occhan took dibs on Icchan's virginity." Tsuyu answered.
"I got dibs on his first threesome!" Mina and Yui said at the same time.
"... Anything else?" Pixie asked.
"... Butt..." Ibara muttered in complete shame, and only thanks to Jiro the others knew what she said.
"Huh?" the others asked, looking at the girl in confusion.
"Dear Ibara wants to be Icchan's first Butt Experience. Oh, so naughty!" Setsuna explained.
"And brave! It won't be easy, considering we are talking about Icchan!" Kinoko said, snorting.
"... It's just... It's a sinful thing, but...but..."
"But that is what makes you intrigued?" Mandalay asked.
"Yes! I am sorry! I know it's deranged... But the thought of him doing it makes my heart race so much!" Ibara answered, looking about to cry.
"Seems like you are in your wild chirstain girl phase," Ragdoll stated. "It happens when you're pent up and are willing to try new things. It's an actual thing."
"O-Only with my beloved, though! I am not a maniac!" Ibara said.
"Nobody said you are, silly." Pony answered.
"I even heard they get into BDSM as well," Ragdoll added in a tease.
"..."
"OH MY GOD!" Setsuna yelled, before laughing.
"S-SHUT UP!" Ibara screeched.
"Okay, I say we use Ibara-chan to make Izuku snap." Toru said.
"WHY ME!?" she shrieked in shock.
"Because you can both enjoy Letting Go and release your desires. And maybe you actually need it, you and him are way too winded-up." Momo said.
Ibara looked like she wanted to cry or hurt them with her Quirk. "Can we please change the topic, please...!?"
"Sure. When do we actually state our claim on Icchan?" Pony asked.
"The sooner the better, if you ask me." Yui answered.
"Not sure," Momo stated. "But not now. Anything else?"
"... Nope!" many answered after some thought.
"Guys and Gals! Sorry to interrupt plans, training, cooking and whatnot. But we are ready to start! You have five minutes to go to the bathroom and tie-up whatever you are doing, then we will start!" Joy's voice echoed everywhere.
"Guess they got up sooner than they thought," Itsuka stated. "Wanted to train some more."
"Next break then," Momo stated.
Everyone heads back to the theater.
______________________________________________________________________________
(Theater)
"Why so soon?" Izuku asked.
"Eeeh! We got everything ready sooner than expected, hopefully we didn't interrupt anything important." the Eye answered.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Well then, shall we get started?" Light asked them all.
"We are ready, you guys?" Toriko asked.
Everyone took their seats and the lights turned down.
A Chef Rebirth chapter 4:
The Pro Hero who wept because of a Spicy Dish.
UA University – Class 1A -
Ping-Ping! Ping-Ping!
A happy tune echoed inside the classroom just a minute before the lesson started.
"Oh!" and as always, Momo Yaoyorozu's smile turned from formal to 'Warm' as soon as she saw the message heralded by that custom alert.
"Have...A nice day...You too!...Should I put a smile? Or a heart?" she muttered, thoughtful.
"Smile for a Friend, Heart for Something more. When in doubt, use the kissing face, it can be used for both." Tooru the invisible girl answered.
"Thank you." Momo answered, sending the message and then releasing a tiny sigh.
"You should have put a heart!" Mina said.
"Not yet, but soon," Momo answered.
Izuku felt her eyes on him and his face turned super red.
Inko giggled at her son.
"What a ladies man~" Toriko teased.
"At least he is not a pervert!" Rin added, laughing.
Izuku hid his face.
"Your Chef friend?" Mina asked.
"How do you know?"
"I didn't! But the alert sound is different from other messages AND you never pull-out your phone in class, unless it's an emergency OR that sound effect plays. You just confirmed who the sender is yourself!" the pink girl answered, smiling smug.
"Oh..." Momo muttered, looking a bit guilty.
"Don't be sad! He is just a good friend, yes?" Tooru asked.
"...Yes."
"Took too long to answer, would you like him to be something more?" Jiro asked with a smirk.
"Yes." Momo admitted, caressing Izuku's hand and making him blush harder.
"I think we're making steamed broccoli~" Jiro teased.
"Keep pushing! He will break soon!" Toru whispered.
"He's way too strong, you know..." Ochasko stated. "He's stubborn."
"Me and Izu...NO!" she replied, face burning red.
"Liar." Jiro answered with her ear-jacks jokingly poking Momo's cheeks.
"I am not!"
"You still up for a visit to his Restaurant then? I checked, it's in Yavin Street. Kinda fancy location to open his place, and it's not too far from here either." Mina asked, she too with a fanged smile on her face.
"Couple bus stops at most," Tooru added.
"I-I don't think we can."
"Actually, I believe it will be possible. Tomorrow there will be that mysterious outdoor visit Professor Aizawa didn't want to give us details about. After Lunch we'll be free, so if we actually leave to have lunch in another place, we should not have troubles, if we alert our teachers before that, of course." Tenya offered.
"You others are coming too?" Mina asked.
"Mysterious Outdoor Visit... The USJ was a mystery to the students only since the Villains knew perfectly where to find us!" Aizawa said with a growl.
"What do you mean?" Coco asked him.
"We took so many precautions to keep a school visit to a special Training Facility a secret that I could be easily accused of being a paranoid freak. Everything was hushed: the date, the location, the time of departure, who was accompanying the class and who would be waiting for us there. EVERYTHING was confidential. And yet the group of our biggest enemies easily found us and attacked us." Nezu answered, annoyed.
"I see..."
"Everybody in our class is, apparently. Ribbit! I heard a couple guys from 1B too will go, the rumors about that Restaurant are spreading quite a bit." Tsuyu answered, croaking faintly.
"I am happy he is finally getting some recognition, recently he had been harassed a lot by complacent Health Inspectors that just kept visiting him in hope of forcing him to close." Momo answered, sighing in relief.
"Uh? Why?"
"Jealousy mostly, my brother was there when the Police Force questioned them. Few friends of Midoriya-san's rival tried discredit him, they have been finally told to stop." Tenya answered.
"Oh-Oooh! Underhand tactics to stop a Chef threatening their businesses? Now I REALLY wanna try it!" Mina answered, smiling intrigued.
"Then it's settled? Will we all go?" Kaminari asked.
"If you don't mind," Momo asked.
"Fu... Heck yeah! Good food!" Tetsutetsu yelled in hype, and censoring himself once seen the combined glare of Mirio and Izuku.
"I wonder what we'll be getting~?" Fat Gums asked no one in particular.
"I know it will be good!" Kirishima answered.
"Well, be quiet and watch," Mirko ordered.
"Do you always have to be like this...?" Ryuko asked her friend.
"Haters gonna hate!"
"..."
"Ochako? I can pay for you if you want," Tsuyu offered.
"I-I don't need charity!" the girl answered, ashamed.
"It's not charity between friends, silly-head. It's just being friends. You will offer me lunch next time." the frog girl answered, smiling wide.
"O-O-Oh! Okay then!"
"Cool! So we all are going to visit Momo's Boyfriend then!" Tooru declared.
"H-HE IS NOT!"
"If you react like that, nobody will believe you. Now sit down and let's start our new lesson, shall we?" a woman in a skin-tight Hero Costume said with a cheerful tone.
"Yes, Professor Midnight!" the entire class answered as one.
Said teacher gave the class a deadpan look, mixed with a bit of annoyance. "Really...?" she asked them.
"What?" They all asked back with clearly fake innocent smiles.
She pulled out her whip. "What was it you were saying~?" she asked with a way too sweet smile on her face.
"IZU SHIELD!" Mina yelled while holding Izuku in front of herself.
"What?!" the boy said, confused.
Xara pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Want some tea to help?" Gaia asked him.
"Yes, please."
"I deal with them daily, you weakling." Aizawa said.
"And he has a secret flask of alcohol to help." Mic added.
"Yes." Aizawa agreed, until he realized what he said, glaring at him. "Who told you...!?"
Mic just gulped in fear.
Later that day – Number 4 Yavin Street – Green Cloud Restaurant -
The famous Gourmet Street was, as always, bustling in activity as the city's Foodies congregated there en masse during lunch hour to satisfy their bottomless stomachs, clamoring and walking over each-other to secure a seat in their favorite Restaurant.
"Daaaamn! They really have everything here! They even have American-Style BBQ Restaurants!" Mina said in wonder.
"They say rent is not cheap here, does he manage?" Aoyama asked, curious.
"He has a very good sponsor, even if my father is still digging around to see if it was a scam. They actually bought the entire two-story building and asked Izuku to cook for them there, in exchange for his work the flat above the Restaurant it's his to use." Momo answered.
"He has a Sponsor?" Shoto asked.
"A certain 'The System Incorporated', specialized in Import-Export of Ingredients all over the world...Or so they present themselves."
"Still think it sounds like a computer programming company..." Yui stated.
"The System insists it is as good a name as any other." The System answered.
"Just say..."
"Never heard of them." Mezo admitted.
"Me neither, but everything seems to be in order. There, that's the place." Momo answered, pointing at the Green Cloud restaurant once the place came into view.
"Ooh! Small and cozy! Nice!" Kirishima admitted with a wide smile.
"Doggie!" Koda said with a happy smile as he neared the black dog sleeping next to the entrance.
"...What do you want?" the dog answered with an annoyed tone, only opening a single bleary eye to look at the boy and glare him into submission.
"Nothing, nothing. Just saying Hi." he answered immediately.
"Ah! Okay. Hi." Blackie answered with his baritone, magnetic voice gaining a sarcastic undertone before he returned to sleep.
"Don't bother the talking dog." Katsuki said, rolling his eyes.
"Sorry."
"Too sexy a voice for somebody with that bulging belly," Sero commented while eyeing the faint rolls of fat that had started to appear on the once-lean Lord Dog's stomach.
"It means the food's good then! Let's get in!" Mina ordered with a cheerful scream while barging inside.
"That is a very nice voice," Nemuri admitted, chuckling.
"Wait, I thought you said we couldn't get fat from Izuku's cooking," Mina pointed out.
"That is a small present from us," Xara said.
"Oh, I was worried when I saw the dog," Mina stated, letting out a sigh of relief.
"We will be eating a lot while watching, we want to avoid ruining your health from it." Joy answered.
Dling! Dling!
The tiny bell on top of the door chimed happily as soon as they got in, with all of them turning extra happy at feeling the faint chill of air conditioning lowering the temperature just right, and even happier at the amazing mishmash of food aromas wafting everywhere.
"Good evening! What can I do for you?" Izuku was soon walking up to them to welcome the students with a gentle smile.
"He is a cutie, Yaomomo chose well!" Tooru whispered.
"She must be into freckles, his cheeks are adorable." Jiro whispered back.
"I find his Chef Uniform quite dashing too." Aoyama added.
"Quiet, you three." Tsuyu silenced them.
"Thank you." Izuku whispered, shy.
"Not a lie, Icchan." Tsuyu answered.
Izuku looked away, blushing.
"He's even cuter when he blushes," Kinoko added.
"I am just as cute." Mineta grumbled.
"Bullshit." Zebra answered.
"I would normally chastise you for cursing... But yes, that was bad. Even worse than delusional." Coco admitted.
"Sorry if I took so long to pay you a visit, Izuku." Momo admitted with a sheepish smile.
"No need to worry, you are a future Pro Hero, your studies take precedence! My Restaurant and myself will always be here for you, so there was no rush for you to come visit." he answered, chuckling amicably.
"Yes there was, I want to show you my support! I know my parents came here at least twice already, so it was only fair I came as well! So in exchange I brought along a few friends. I hope it won't be a problem," Momo replied in conviction.
"Huhuhu! Thank you for the extra Customers then! I have a couple of tables close to each other so you can sit together. There are also other students from AU, if you don't mind their company. Please, this way." the young Chef answered while guiding them to their tables.
"Fellow students? No problem for us, Midoriya-san!" Tenya answered.
"You must be Mister Tensei's brother! He spoke very highly of you, he just left for his patrol," Izuku said with a surprised expression.
"Big brother came here today too?!"
"Seems your brother gave Midoriya his seal of approval for his food," Hanta teased.
"I cannot fault him, this is good food, I am just surprised. Tensei is usually more reserved, so going to a restaurant so often is surprising to me." Tenya admitted.
"Didn't we go over this last episode...?" Jiro asked flatly. "You can't really make a meal on the job, and I think he wants to protect the place."
"You are right."
"I still feel strange to see a version of me that young..." Rumi admitted.
"Young, yes, but still as reckless as always~" Ryukyu teased her friend.
"That is not a bad thing... My... Bad reaction to hormones and teenage crushes is..."
"Oh, that..." Ryukyu answered with a tone of dread.
"... What does she mean...?" Melk asked the rabbit.
"To put it bluntly, I do everything Plus Ultra. VERY Plus Ultra." Rumi answered.
"Oh dear..." Toriko stated.
"For a shy introvert just recently trying to come out of his shell, that doesn't bode well." Setsuno said.
"He seems to love my Rainbow Dumplings and Stir-fried shrimp noodles," the other answered sheepishly.
"Do I see 'Cold Soba' on the menu?" Shoto asked, sounding almost surprised instead of monotonous.
"Eh! That would be my father's fault, he loves that Dish so much I kind of put it on the menu as an homage. Why? You like them too?"
"Yes." the young man answered.
"OH! Fucking amazing! Those idiots from 1A are here as well!" It was then that a female voice growled in annoyance.
"Rumi, please!" Pony Tsunotori begged with a groan.
"Hey, if they are idiots, it's only fair we call them that!" the only boy of the four-people table answered, huffing.
Everyone gave the two flat looks.
"What?!" both Tetsutetsu and Rumi growled as one.
"God, you are fitting right in that class." Ryukyu muttered in dismay. "It's our highschool life all over again."
"Sorry..." Surprisingly, Rumi gave a weak smile.
"God, you gave me PTSD during those times..."
"I SAID I AM SORRY! And nobody got hurt too much!"
"That's a lie and you know it..."
"Ryuuu-chaaaaan..."
"God, you grew-up in body only."
"Huhuhu!" Izuku laughed, others trying to hold back theirs
"DON'T LAUGH, BROCCOLI HEAD!" Rumi shrieked with an ashamed expression.
"Sorry, sorry. It's just nice to see you two so close." Izuku admitted.
Rumi just huffed, turning back to the show.
"Tetsutetsu, not you too." Itsuka as well looked ready to die from embarrassment.
"What?! You look for a fight, fucker!?" Katsuki asked with a challenging, fanged smile.
"Please don't fight inside my restaurant. Go out if you need to have a cock fight." Izuku asked, unimpressed, while Whitey's robot head immediately peeked inside the room from the kitchen.
"Troublemakers?"
"Not yet, Whitey."
"You almost got Whitey to go after you lot," Ryukyu satted flatly. "Why am I not surprised...?"
"Eeek!" Tetsutetsu shrieked while covering himself.
"Ha-ah! You almost got stripped!" Pony said, laughing.
"Not funny!" the three shouted.
"It's okay, cutie! WE are not here to cause trouble." Rumi answered with a sweet smile and kicking Tetsutetsu's shin hard enough she forced him to fall back down sitting.
"Thank you," the Chef answered, showing a tiny smile.
"...Sure if you bribe me with a kiss to the cheek I may feel inclined to make extra sure they all sit quietly." the bunny girl then said.
"RUMI!" Pony yelled in scandal.
"Outrageous!" Tenya gasped in horror.
"Tch!" it was faint, but Ochako could swear she heard a strange, annoyed growling sound come out from Momo's mouth.
Recovery Girl was whacking the rabbit hero over the head. "You. Don't. Molest. Strangers. What were you thinking!?"
"It's okay! It's not like me or that me are in her League to begin with! So it was just harmless teasing!" Izuku said in complete seriousness.
"Why am I being attacked from all sides like this!?" she grumbled at all of them.
"See the bright side, the guy with the Harem said he is not worthy of you!" Ryukyu answered, laughing.
"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, smartass."
"Will you stop being so crude," Sunni ordered. "You're a lady, you need to be more elegant!"
"Oh shut it you prissy fem boy!" Rumi shouted at him.
"Oooh, so rude!"
"Ya need to relax, girl. You can't be angry 24/7." Zebra said.
"..."
"What are ya looking at?!" he snarled at his brothers.
"Hypocrite." the rest of the Toriko group answered as one.
"I am afraid I can't do that, it would be highly unprofessional. But I am honoured you offered me the chance." Izuku answered, bowing slightly.
"Aww! Well, there is always next time! You won't be able to say no forever!" Rumi answered, unperturbed.
"I can kiss ya if you want! I can kiss you everywhere! Especially on both of your Lips." Mineta said with a lewd smile.
STRIP! BANG!
"Disgusting Pervert dealt with!" Whitey said proudly once flash-stepped into the room, stripped the short guy down to his boxers and then bitch-slapped him out of the Restaurant in the span of a single second to then return inside the kitchen.
"YEEEES!"
"GO, WHITEY!"
"WHITEY THE MIGHTEY! WOOOOOO!"
"... You all are a bunch of mean bastards..." Mineta said, offended, while every woman present cheered loudly at his counterpart's misery.
"Well if you weren't such a sexual deviant, this wouldn't happen," Mic answered.
"Sensei!"
"Don't you believe you yourself are a saint. You keep walking on the thin line between expulsion and imprisonment for sexual harassment. Do not make things worse." Aizawa answered, his eyes glowing.
Mineta grumbled.
"Thank you, Whitey. If he does it again, he will be blacklisted." Izuku answered with a sigh of relief.
"I like this place already." Tooru admitted, amused, while she and the others took their seats.
"Good to know! Menu is written on those wooden tablets by the door while the small chalkboard lists the specialties we are offering today. If you don't see desserts, I will list them to you personally, since I like to change those daily. Everything is homemade, so sometimes I switch dishes around to offer some variety. Any particular request for drinks?"
"Water for now, maybe a bottle of cola later," Momo answered, getting a few nods from the others.
"Perfect, please study the menu as much as you want and call me when you are ready." the young Chef answered, giving them a bow before leaving.
Once left alone, the two tables quietly started deciding what to order when a towering giant of a man with fiery red hair entered the Restaurant with a scowl.
"Oh for fuck sake!"
"..."
"What?" Shoto asked.
"Since when you curse, Half-N-Half?" Katsuki asked.
"Endeavor is still very much a thorn in my side, so seeing him again in a moment where he was still at his worst brings up bad memories."
"Fair enough."
"Oh, nice...Endeavor..." Shoto uttered in disdain once seen the guy he was forced to call 'father' enter the place with his usual lack of tact.
"That would be me, can I help you?" Izuku asked after returning from the kitchen with a tray of food he delivered to a more isolated table.
"Daaamn, that stuff smells amazing," the Pro Hero with Endeavor admitted with a low voice as soon as the aroma of those dishes filled the restaurant.
"Not now, Hawks! Is it you that kicked-out my assistant, boy?" Enji demanded.
"If you mean that unpleasant hag that was making a nuisance of herself just because a Quirkless cooked her food. Yes, it was me. She was bothering my Customers and stinking-up my Restaurant with her misplaced Overblown Ego. As the owner of this place I have every right to evict an eyesore like her." Izuku answered, still remembering the insults she gleefully hurled at him and at the man's son that was apparently at fault for not being 'Perfect' like Endeavor himself.
"Izuku...." Inko stated, her voice warning him about what he said.
"I am not apologizing. By his words, Miss Burnin was being as rude and antagonistic, and down-right Racist, as she could as soon as she entered. One can't look for a fight and then cry if the opponent fights back." Izuku answered, defiant.
"Fucking 10/10, Nerd!" Katsuki answered, smirking, pleased with the spine Izuku was growing.
"She's gotten better after what happened," Shoto stated. "She still looks up to my father, but isn't looking at him like he was a god."
"That bad? But on TV she-"
"My father has, sadly, a very good PR office." Shoto answered.
"Oh..."
"But she still wants to be his top sidekick, and wants to help him, she's taking classes on mental health to be a counselor for the agency," Shoto informed.
"Does she still...?" Izuku asked.
"I never really checked, but I believe she finally stopped trying to get in father's pants." Shoto answered with a scrunched nose.
"Yeah, that's good news, her 'advances' would have been too much even for grape-head." Katsuki answered, gagging.
The very same son that Izuku was certain was the boy with red-and-white hair at the moment glaring at Enji in barely-concealed hatred.
"She is a Pro Hero, boy. Show some respect."
"Respect is earned, not a fancy gadget you get because you are obnoxious and have some superpowers." Izuku replied, unfazed.
"You dare?!" the man roared with a booming voice that rattled everybody's ears while fire covered his body.
"..." In answer the young Chef took a huge breath as a fiery-red flaming aura of energy enveloped his entire being.
"AH!" like the clap of thunder, the short scream the small young man produced assaulted Enji and snuffed-off the flames of his Quirk, the sheer volume also almost blew-up his eardrums, just like it almost deafened everybody else, while outside cars were heard come to a screeching halt as their windows exploded.
Jiro covered her ears, letting out a scream of pain from the volume.
"Kyoka!" Needless to say, Izuku was at her side immediately.
"JESUS! WHY IS EVERYBODY LOUDER THAN ME?!" Mic yelled.
Knocking Master swatted him over the head. "You're not helping, you loudmouth."
"I am okay, Green, I am fine." Kyoka said.
"You sure?"
"I am a tough girl," she said, smirking.
"That you are!"
"... An apology Hug though would be nice."
Izuku blushed, but did so. And much grumbling came from the MHA female half.
Not a single piece of glass inside the Restaurant got damaged, though.
"Wanna see who can scream the loudest?" Izuku hissed in contempt as the towering figure of his old Appetite Demon he took back from his Isekai (a gorilla with blood-red fur and boar-like tusks) briefly appeared behind him.
"What's that? A Stand?" Kaminari asked.
"You can't make a JOJO reference in 2160..." Katsuki answered, groaning.
"But it looks like one!"
"They made a new Remake, so the Memes are still valid. Hn!" Kaminari said, pouting.
"Bleach is still the best," Izuku stated.
"Debatable." Katsuki answered.
"One Piece is still ongoing since the 20th century! At least mine has an ending!"
"I think you're confusing it with the Dragon Ball series..." Katsuki stated flatly.
"... Hn, true."
"Guys, focus on the screen." Itsuka said, gently.
-With Enji -
"You dare raise your voice against-"
"You dare...You dare...You dare. Who are you, exactly?"
"A Pro He-"
"Second place under that MORON of All Might. Let it be clear, I am the LAST guy you can wow with the title of Pro Hero. I treat everybody equally: Male or Female, Quirked or Quirkless, Pro Hero or Civilian. As long as one is a customer, they can rest assured I will treat them with the utmost respect and deliver them the food they asked for.
All Might was in the corner, sulking, a gloomy cloud over him. "I can't deal with this! You are not supposed to be so mean to me, Midoriya-shonen! It hurts!"
"But I don't hate you!"
"But he does!"
"But I don't!"
"Oh, God... He is having a moment..." Nighteye muttered in dismay.
"Is that bad?" Tina asked.
"The two are awfully close, almost in a father-son way. 99.99999% father-son way."
Posturing idiots, Bullies and Troublemakers instead are neither needed nor will be missed. Your Secretary, that I am starting to think you have an affair with, was bothering everybody, and between HER and my Customers, my Customers are more important! Ergo, she had to go. Her doing it willingly was not an issue." Izuku answered.
"She is a Pro Hero, boy! SHE is a useful member of society, contrary to you, Chef." Enji hissed in contempt, and spitting Chef like an insult.
"..." a tense silence fell into the Restaurant as Izuku bristled in blatant fury.
"An ignorant fool dared to insult the category of Chefs. Host Izuku must avenge his honor and teach this buffoon the true horror of an angry Chef!
"Special Mission Time!" Mina said with a loud laugh.
"Sucks to be Endeavor!" Setsuna added, just as amused.
"A new quest has been unlocked~" Gaia joked.
"... I don't know whether to pity him, or not..." Coco stated.
"Pity him. Nobody that dares challenge a Host ever came out unscathed." System answered.
"That's why I'm not so sure I should," Coco stated. "Insulting chefs is a bad idea in our world."
Abrupt Mission: Teach Endeavor Humility.
Reward: 10% bonus on your Experience Points total and unlocking the Wine Cabinet of Wonders." The System's voice echoed inside Izuku's head soon after.
"What's that cabinet?" he asked, slightly surprised.
"Host Izuku will gain the ability to add to the menu a selection of wines offered by the System, at the increase of Host Izuku's level, the number and quality of wines offered will also rise. When the Host Level will rise to the third step, Host Izuku will be permitted to produce his own wine." the voice answered. And Izuku found it a good incentive to shut the moron up.
"Booze!" Knocking Master said with an excited tone.
"From the multiverse," the System stated.
"Yeeeesssss!"
"Hohohoho! It's been so long since I saw you so excited, Jirou-chan!" Setsuno said with a fond smile.
"You kidding~ Booze from the multiverse~! New things to try out~!"
"That's if/when he wins it," Toriko stated.
"Not to sound too negative, but it can happen, Endeavor is hard to deal with." Izuku answered.
"Unf! Believe in yourself! You are the sum of us both! You can do it!" Zaus answered, lightly chopping him on the head. "And if I'm correct, he'll be feeling the heat very soon~"
Izuku was lost, but then remembered something from Zaus' memories, and tried to hold back his laughter.
"So you think we Chefs are nothing..." Izuku asked with a low, dangerous tone accompanied by the growl of the Demon behind him.
"Seriously, what the hell is that?!" Sero whispered.
"Looks a bit like Dark Shadows. Only solid."
"Ssh!"
"You people can barely cook a decent meal, nothing more." Enji answered, scoffing.
"Let's put that to the Test then." Izuku said with narrowed eyes.
"Hn?"
"Last week I offered a small challenge to my Customers: Eating an entire bowl of Spicy Mapo Tofu, the prize was a free meal ticket for two people and not ONE of them managed to last and win. I will prepare for you the exact same dish and IF you can eat it whole without a single problem I will personally kneel in front of you and beg for forgiveness.
BUT! If you admit it's too hot, or even just gasp for air or show discomfort, you will cover the bill for everybody here. You feel up for it, Pro Hero?" the young Chef asked while imitating the same scornful tone of Endeavor.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN~!" Hanta and Denki shouted, doing the meme.
"Chef pride suits you," Teppei said, laughing.
Izuku rubbed the back of his head, sheepish. "Thank you~"
Katsuki leaned over the whisper to Izuku. "I'm guessing this spice would make myself want to tap out, and with how much you might be adding to his?"
"I fear quite a bit... You still want to try that too, Kacchan?"
"... Maybe less than what you'll give him, want to work my way up," he answered. "I do have my new spice/hot sauce rack."
"Oh, well! It's your funeral!" Joy said, laughing.
"... Why do I not like where this is going...?" Katsuki asked no one in particular.
"Fear not, my friend. Nobody can die while in here." Light answered.
"That does NOT help!" he roared at them.
"Ah! That's it? Then just kneel and be done with it. I am not one of those losers that eat here, you are not dealing with a Sissy that can't handle some chili sauce." Endeavor declared haughtily, unknowingly losing any chance at sympathy from the customers present.
"If you feel so sure of yourself, then you won't have problems going through this bet, right?"
"I will humor you, kid! Bring it on, eating for free is always welcomed." Enji answered, taking a table together with Hawks.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." the winged Pro Hero muttered in dread once the young Chef disappeared inside his kitchen.
"Endeavor challenged the wrong Chef." Momo declared.
"You sure?" Shoto asked.
"Izuku's talent is more vast than what you may believe, I have full trust in his abilities." she answered.
"Thank you Yaom-"
"A-hem!"
"Momo-sa-"
"Nope!"
"Yayor-"
"Neither!"
"... Momo-chan?"
"There you go!" Momo answered, smiling pleased. The girls giggled at the interaction, finding it cute.
"So I have to do the same with you all?"
"You almost teared-off Ochaco-chan's tonsils. Yes, yes you do." Toru answered.
"Not now," Shoto stated. "I want to see my old man go through hell."
The girls pouted at the duel hair boy.
Inside the Kitchen -
"System, I need my special chili sauce, is it ready?"
"The new batch has finished fermenting and it's ready to be used. Thanks to the Devil Peppers that had been added, spiciness has increased by 70%." the System answered as a side cabinet opened to show dozens of unlabeled glass jars containing home-made chili sauce.
"Good." Izuku answered with a chilling smile as he took out a jar to study its blood-red content.
Izuku's own creation, a blend of chili peppers and other spices mixed together to create a diabolical mixture that can only be described as 'Agony in Sauce form' that the young Chef created in his lifetime as Zaus to appease his new-found love for spicy food...And to make Setsuno's life hell when he was younger as even SHE had trouble withstanding its power.
One Drop would make normal people sweat as if they ran a marathon. (Normal Dosage)
Two drops could melt through a normal human tongue. (Challenge Dosage)
A spoonful could cause vivid hallucinations. (Blackie's Requested Dosage)
Two spoonfuls were literally lethal for normal humans. (Izuku's own Lunch/Dinner Dosage)
Everyone paled seeing the information on screen.
"You made him prepare that accursed thing?!" Setsuno asked with an hiss.
"What can I say, I am nostalgic." Zaus answered, laughing.
"WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A THING!?" Katsuki, Kirishima and Tetsutestu shouted at the madman.
"Because there are very few things to me as thrilling as the burning sensation of properly-made chili sauce burning you all the way down to your very soul. It never fails to make my heart beat fast to bursting levels." Zaus explained.
"You are a devil..." Ibara stated, looking scared.
"Funny you would call me that..." the ghost Chef answered, smirking.
"Uh?!"
"That Sauce has a very edgy name, fitting for its Diabolical recipe." Setsuno said, unamused.
Everyone shivered at the name.
Izuku in a bout of 'Edginess' had called the first version 'Satan Sauce', but to be fair once he'd seen its effects the name became surprisingly apt.
The young Chef had decided to use one spoonful only of the thing, though, he almost went for two, but even the System could not reassure him Enji would have survived that, so he opted for a single spoon...And five drops.
Mapo Tofu was a fairly easy recipe of Chinese tradition, and actually born to be spicy, thus Izuku's first choice when he wanted to have his Satan Sauce take center stage to show both its divine taste AND its world-ending spiciness.
"Let's see what the 'Number 2 Hero of Japan' is made of!" the young Chef declared while taking a wide wok and putting it on the fire with some fresh oil already inside.
"Oh my Lord... Using the name of the Lord of Darkness makes way too much sense." Ibara said.
Katsuki gulped a bit. He ate ghost peppers, and they didn't affect him that much. But he felt this would make him feel the heat.
"For your sake, you will only get the spoonful and just FOUR drops instead of five." Joy said, pleased.
"When I said smaller, I didn't mean Endeavor suicide dosage, I though a few drops. I'm sticking to the two drops thank you. Three if I can take it."
"PUSSY!"
"Joy! Be nice!" Light said. "Even you had a hard time eating the damn thing, at Endeavor's challenge."
"Of course I did! What do you think happens if you put eyes and chili sauce together?"
"You were the one who wanted to eat it," Xara stated. "We did try to stop you."
"It tastes awesome. The only problem was the agony after it, but the taste? Amazing." the Eye answered. "Any other sucker wants to try?"
Most of the students gulped. If it was hard on him, how hard would this be...?
"Only if it's the challenge one," Tetsutetsu stated, getting nods from the others.
"Fine. You can have the normal dosage challenge."
"We're not trying to kill them, Joy," Gaia stated.
Once stir-fried a mixture of spices until they became fragrant and tasteful, Izuku then poured in the same wok few ladles of chicken broth to simmer it in the spice mixture; once done he delicately added the pure-white cute cubes of Tofu he personally cut and infused in Gourmet Energy, each one of those cubes trembled heavily at every faint movement of the wok as he gently turned them around in the sauce, and after adding some scallions he toppled everything with his chili sauce, soon turning the harmless cubes fiery-red and making them almost shine in the room's lights like pieces of ruby.
"Finally ready." Izuku declared, smirking, once moved the finished dish into a big white bowl decorated with tiny and cute green clouds.
"Tofu is not supposed to look so Evil." Reiko muttered.
"Well this is Enji's punishment," All Might satted, sweating. "But may god have mercy on his soul."
"Another name for the sauce prototype was Soul Melting," Zaus answered, chuckling.
"You are evil," Nighteye stated.
"Not really, my Gourmet Cells used to react especially well to spicy food, so I had to up the power whenever I stopped feeling the burn, that is the major selling point of chili." Zaus admitted.
"... I don't know whether that's manly or not..." Kirishima stated.
"Yeah," Tetsutetsu agreed.
"Could it help with my explosions if I get used to it?" Katsuki asked.
"Try it first, Kacchan.." Izuku warned him.
"That bad?"
"I have the memories. Ouch."
"How bad of memories?"
"No spoilers, let him try it!" Kaminari said.
"Many of us will," Monoma added.
Main room -
Everybody watched as the young Chef calmly walked out of the kitchen while holding with both hands the bowl of Mapo Tofu for his bet against the Pro Hero.
"Here he comes..." Hawks muttered, his feelings of dread increasing tenfold at each step of Izuku.
"Let's see what you got, boy!" Endeavor said with a feral smirk that faltered a little when the bowl was actually put on the table in front of him.
As he took a deep breath and perceived the aroma surging out of the dish, his eyes widened, it was arguably a really spicy dish, and from its aroma, it was obvious that its spiciness was not just intense, but ferocious.
https://thewoksoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/mapo-tofu-12.jpg
"Here it comes! Whoever wants to take part in the Brain-Melting Chili Challenge raise your hand and you will get a bowl. Whoever lasts longer will be crowned Iron Stomach." Joy said.
"And what does that mean?" Kyoka asked.
"Absolutely nothing. Except bragging rights."
"We will give a prize to those who last the longest though, or each the most," Xara added.
"Oooh! So Hype! I am in!" Mei said.
"Me too! It's been a while since I had spicy food!" Toriko added, sounding extremely intrigued.
Many raised their hands after that.
Everyone was given a bowl of the stuff, with only two drops, and a lot were wincing at the smell like Enji. If They had smelled it before, they feared they'd chicken out.
"Please wait for Enji to eat his, so you and him will start at the same time." Light instructed.
"This thing really smells Evil. I didn't know chili sauce could feel evil." Tomoko admitted in fear.
"This is my prized 'Hellfire Mapo Tofu', it's a variation of the traditional Mapo Tofu recipe I only make for this chili challenge, it's extremely spicy and intense. You can still back down from the Challenge if you don't feel able." Izuku explained while pointing at the big bowl in front of Endeavor.
"Are you looking down on me, boy?" the Pro Hero asked, growling.
"It's the usual warning I give to whoever takes this Challenge, I won't be held accountable if you have vivid hallucinations. Or explode." the young Chef answered, arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
"I handle fire everyday, Boy! You are not the one who decides if this dish is intense or not, it's me. I am the unquestioned Lord of Flames!" Enji answered, sneering.
"Host Izuku should not worry. If one wants to tickle the nose of Fate, then they can only blame themselves for their misfortune." The System declared, making Izuku wonder if even the gender-less, strange Entity as well found the Pro Hero unbearable.
"Can I talk with that guy? Only five minutes." Zebra asked.
"Don't kill Heroes in other worlds." Toriko said.
"Nobody will miss him."
"As hard as it might sound, after some near death experiences Enji has started a slow process of Betterment, if we want to give it a name." Nezu answered.
"It doesn't erase all the bad things he did." Shoto answered, angry.
"Sadly true." Nezu admitted.
"What are the crossed fingers for?" Tokoyami asked.
"Lesson in humility or self-combustion?" Mezo added.
"Or coma?" Mineta added as well, having just received a rare second chance from Izuku after some begging from class 1A and returned to sit at the table once Momo created a giant and long shirt for him to cover himself with.
"Yes." Shoto answered.
Everyone laughed at the comments.
"There are many issues in that family?" Komatsu asked.
"His father did many questionable things, but it is not my right to disclose them." Aizawa answered.
"Oh, sorry I asked then."
"Then please, do enjoy it. And also remember the terms of our Bet should you lose." Izuku answered with a sigh, he had heard the man was callous, but he just wasn't aware Enji was THAT MUCH of an Egomaniac.
"Get ready to lose." Enji sneered as he picked up the porcelain spoon next to the bowl and took another whiff of the tofu's aroma before scooping up a spoonful of it with a thin trail of red juice following behind it.
"I have become an instrument of your Revenge and Justice. I hope you know you owe me one now." Izuku declared while walking back towards the kitchen, leaving behind a confused Shoto.
In the meantime, Endeavor slowly raised the spoon filled with tofu to his mouth, idly noticing how the blood-red color of the wobbly cubes was getting more sinister the closer the spoon came to his mouth, along the small voice in the back of his head growing more frantic in trying to stop him.
"Do we start now?" Mic asked.
"Go, and may the strongest win." Light answered.
"Just don't explode." Joy added, laughing. A bowl of the stuff was promptly shoved down the eye's mouth.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"And he's out~" Xara teased. "Although we gave him Izuku's dosage~"
"TRY IT TOO, ASSHOLE!" Joy, still agonizing, forced open Xara's mouth and poured down an entire bowl like his.
Xara let out a sigh of satisfaction, not even sweating. "Hot and spice, just like the food back home cooking~"
"Quit screwing around and try to look professional?" Light asked.
Everyone was holding back their laughs from the comedic act of them. They then started eating it themselves.
Squish!
Once seen him swallow the spoonful of Tofu, the completely silent crowd watching him heard a soft squishing noise come from his mouth as he chewed.
"Oh! It actually tastes kind of good." Enji was forced to admit, awed at the pieces of tofu being so soft and tender they easily melted from the slightest bite and pretty much flowed down his throat by themselves, eager to be eaten.
"It was a given that it would also taste good, other than being spicy." Momo felt the need to remind him, as a way to defend her best friend's cooking skills.
"Man this is good," Katsuki stated, scarfing it down, thinking he found his favorite dish. "But I thought that stuff was supposed to be spicy?"
"Give it time." Zaus answered, and his smile looked too cold to be human.
"... I'm scared now..." Sero stated.
"I still can't feel the spicy-" Then it happened, as soon as his mouth was filled with the tofu's rich fragrance from his second spoon and he grew 'complacent', like a deadly snake poised to strike the true power of Izuku's personal blend attacked the Pro Hero's entire being when he least expected it.
At first Enji felt a wave of numbness travel from the base of his spine up to his head that made every single hair on his body stand straight like a needle, then came an overwhelming scalding sensation surging from right under his skin and wildly rushing outside, as if every pore of his body had become a volcano ready to vomit lava everywhere, it felt even hotter than his own fire somehow!
"Aah..." the man gurgled-out pitifully, soon regretting his believing that thanks to his Fire Quirk he could not get scalded by a dish.
Like Enji, the spice hit them all, but not as bad as it did the pro on screen.
Jiro let out an ear pearince shriek. She was the first to fall, next was Mic and Aizawa.
Katsuki had a savage grin, he could actually feel this, and was loving it. "Damn, this is good spice~!"
"Enji-san doesn't look like he is enjoying it, instead." Izuku, another one not showing reactions to the spicy tofu, answered.
Somehow Eri and Kota weren't affected at all, Eri looked happily eating her dish while Kota just loved the spiciness of the dish.
"How are you four not affected by this...?" Tstsutetsu asked, sweating a bit.
"Me and the Nerd have a history of spicy food... The brats... No idea." Katsuki answered, shrugging.
"Well they do look up to Izuku, so they may have had spicy food before and loved it," Momo theorized.
"... Well they do idolize him," Tiger agreed, trying to keep eating.
Good God, he was wrong! He was so wrong! Too wrong!
"He is sweating." Sero said, matter-of-factly.
"No surprise! I felt my nose hair get singed as soon as Midoriya-san walked out of the kitchen with that plate, I don't want to think about what it feels like to actually eat that." Toru admitted.
"Like eating my acid?" Mina asked.
"Something tells me that Endeavor-san would gladly drink your acid as a reprieve from that," Tsuyu answered, actually looking at the Pro Hero in pity.
"Aah..." by now Enji was fearing having forever lost his ability to taste, if somebody told him he was eating boiling lava, he would have believed them! There was seemingly no end in sight as the spiciness kept mounting inside his mouth while his body turned completely red.
"I know the feeling! Oh God, My soul is melting..." Kinoko said, fanning herself.
"And this is only two drops," Togaru added, giving up. "His is far worse."
Shoto was eating his, not looking affected. "The old man desires it."
"You people are monsters!" Kaminari said, looking about to melt into a puddle.
"It's not that bad," Inko stated, eating hers with ease.
"Guh! Never was a fan of spicy food." Rin admitted.
"But don't you use spice all the time?" Toriko asked his wife.
"Spices, yes. Stomach melting peppers? Nope! Only in your portion because I know you love it."
"True~" he agreed.
FWOOSH!
Even his Quirk awoke, covering him completely in flames as his instinct was fervently hoping the heat of his fire could somehow spare him some of that misery.
"ENJI-SAN!" Hawks yelled in worry.
"Have no fear, he won't burn a thing," Izuku, looking absolutely unfazed, reassured the customers present while delivering a new order to a table nearby.
"...The table is not burning." Ochako confirmed with a faint voice.
Indeed the table, tablecloth, glasses, bowls, spoons and seats and everything else were still pristine clean, even the floor was not getting damaged by the intense flames covering Enji's body, not a single scorching mark was appearing anywhere nor smoke or the smell of burning matter came to be.
"Uh?!"
"You made everything indestructible?" Light asked.
"Yes." System answered.
"Chefs back home would pay top dollar for that," Melk stated. "I know my love would."
"I often cook for four Hooligans, that would be a lifesaver." Komatsu admitted.
"I am no hooligan!" Toriko said with bulged-out eyes.
"How can you say that, Komatsu-kun?!" Sanni added, looking ready to cry at the accusation.
"Honestly, I can understand calling Zebra that, but me? ... That's the first time I am called a Hooligan..." Coco admitted.
"I know manners, bastard! I just thought between friends there was no need! Tch!" Zebra hissed.
Everyone gave the four deadpan looks. 'We see why he calls you that...' they all thought in a deadpan.
"Are the tables made of asbestos?!" Mineta asked with a gasp.
Tock! Tock! "This is pure wood, and the tablecloths are made of cotton. And yet they aren't burning." Katsuki answered once gently knocking on the table.
"As I said, have no fear. Endeavor-san does not have the Skills to break anything in here." The answer of the young Chef made several eyes bulge-out in shock at the bold, but apparently true, statement.
"Everything has been built by The System, I was assured nothing can break anything in here." Izuku thought while walking away.
"Indeed. Even should the sun become a red giant and engulf the planet, the Restaurant and everything inside will be undamaged." System said.
"Knowing you, one could chuck the planet inside a Black Hole and nothing will get a scratch." Light said dryly.
"That too. The Restaurant and the Host are 'Judgment Day proof'."
"The only thing that would possibly affect it would be another Elder God level entity..." Izuku therorized, having figured it out, and finished his meal fully. "Also, can I get seconds?"
"Yes, but I know several of them, and neither of them seem to care enough to do it. You guys?" Joy asked. "Also. Here's another portion, you human-sized garbage disposal unit!" More filled Izuku's bowl, making those who lost gack.
"Only in the MKverse," Light answered. "Might be a good place for Izuku to get food items and fighting experience though..."
"Do Keybladers count?" Xara asked. "Because they can beat and surpass gods and even rewrite time and space at will."
"I am one, so yes," Gaia stated.
"Also, I think we have our winners," Light stated.
"Yeah, looks like we have enough survivors. Congratulations, winners! The MHA guest winners are; Izuku, Katsuki, Tetsutetsu, Kirishima, All Might, Inko, Eri and Kota and the lovely Miss Mandalay. Impressive!" Joy said.
The other pussycats turned to their team-member in shock. "You actually finished!?" they shouted in shock.
"There were many... Accidents... While I learned to cook for Kota, one of which was me using an entire bowl of chili powder... That in hindsight helped." she admitted.
"As for Toriko's group, the winners are; Toriko, Rin, Coco. Melk, Komatsu and Zaus," Light finished.
"You two too?" Setsuno said, impressed.
"..." Melk's face just turned red.
"She's used too much chili, so..." Komatsu said.
"I thought they were normal chilis! Not Scorpion Stinger Chilies! I already told you it was a mistake!" the Knife sharpener shouted.
"SO... Miss Shino... Tell me your wish..." the Eye asked.
"..." Mandalay said nothing.
"Okay, whisper it in Uncle Joy's ear. Or lack thereof."
"..."
"Oh! That's it? Easy enough. For all three of you?"
"Yes, please." Shino, face super red, answered.
"Aaah, Love. Okay, once done here you three will get that." Joy answered.
"What did she ask?" Light asked with a whisper.
"To get 10 years younger, I bet you know why." the Eye whispered in answer.
"I can guess two reasons why..." he stated dryly.
"What do we give to the green cinnamoroll?" Gaia asked. "We already gave him a lot already."
"We could kick the shit out of his father. I mean... The guy STILL has to show-up even after the whole Shigaraki mess." Joy suggested.
"He works at I-Island..." the other reminded him. "He can't just up and leave his potiosion..."
"How about a journal of heroes throughout the multiverse?" Light suggested.
"... Yeah. That works. IF we also add dirty laundry about them, just to appease my asshole side."
They gave the eye a flat look. "No... You already tore his arms out..."
"Can we make me happy at least once? I just want him to remember that Heroes are still human, with good and bad sides and humanity in them. He already has a head FULL of idealized ideas about Heroes, Heroics and whatnot, I just want him to stay A BIT grounded. Not to be an idiot that sees Life in Black or White only like a bi-dimensional Shonen Character."
The other deities look at him in surprise. "Since when can you be serious...?" Xara asked in surprise,
"I love to have fun and I get bored easily. But I am no idiot." the Eye answered.
"... Fine, but nothing too bad, okay?" Light bargained.
"Nothing outrageous, just stuff that reminds him that he can be Human. Like, I don't know... Batman never eats his salad unless threatened. Or Wolverine being afraid of centipedes... Simple stuff that helps remind him that he doesn't need to be a GOD. Just himself."
"That's fine," Light agreed, summoning them for Izuku who had a happy look on his face.
"Now Katsuki, I'd say the same thing but with heroes that fit his personality," Xara stated.
"I would have suggested anti-heroes like The Punisher too. But I don't think he needs people to imitate." Xara answered.
Light shrugged. "There are people who like those sorts," he stated, summoning a book on dark heroes for the blond bomber, who looked intrested.
"Iron tablets that are made from iron tablets around the multiverse for Tetsutetsu?" Gaia suggested. "He does need it for his Quirk."
"May be a bit hard to digest."
"Host can cook them." System answered.
"Oooh! I can actually eat iron from other worlds?! That's sick!" Tetsutetsu said with a fanged smile.
"I said Iron Tablets, not iron itself..." she stated in a deadpan.
"We can add both," Xara started.
"Manly!" the metal boy shouted.
"... You know what? Whatever. As long as you others are happy." Gaia said with a sigh of defeat.
"For Kirishima..." Light started thinking.
"The Dumbbells of Arkalayus!" Joy said with a dramatic tone.
"The what?"
"Basically dumbbells that have been charmed by a Wizards with a fixation for body-building, you can just increase and lower the weight through voice commands, up to Neutron Star Heavy. Don't ask for that." Light answered.
"Manly~!" he shouted, having an awe struck look on his face. Said weights appeared in front of him.
"Dude, you got to let me try those as well," Tetsutetsu stated, looking in awe.
"Now for All Might..." Xara started. "This is a tricky one..."
"We could always resurrect Nana so he can finally confess he is MADLY in love with her," Joy blurted-out.
"JOY!"
"EEEEK!" the retired Pro Hero answered with a high-pitched shriek.
"I thought he was into Inko though?" Light stated, with a teasing smile.
"Yes, but she is still married, it would be unfair to Hisashi."
"She did say they were in an open marriage," Midnight remind him.
Nana gave a thumbs up to him," I say go for it."
"So Miss Inko wants a husband, a female side lover and a male side lover... Not bad!" Xara admitted with a whistle.
"I mean, her son is building a Harem, he had to take it from somewhere." Light stated.
"HEY!" both Midoriya said with a red face.
"Not our fault if your Libido is beyond even OUR understanding. Ever tried cold showers?" Joy answered.
"So, an all expenses paid for, romantic trip for the four of them to get to know each other~" Gaia teased. "A two for one prize~"
"Seems like a good plan. Can you talk Aphrodite into letting them use her beach house? That's a nice place." Joy asked.
"Eeeh... I can try."
Both All Might and Inko were steaming up a storm, the two getting teased by everyone.
"Now for Eri, books on quantum time manipulation to read with you dad~" Light gifted. "A good father, daughter activity~"
Eri looked happy to spend time with her papa.
"For Kota, comics and manga on water manipulators to practice your Quirk with," Xara gifted. "All water proof of course~"
"I expect to see him pull-off a Water Dragon Jutsu by the time he is 15. The kid's motivated." Joy added.
"I'll be as awesome as Deku~!" the kid shouted, wanting to be like his personal hero.
"I know you will be even cooler than me, Kota-chan." Izuku answered, smiling.
"That's a given!" The kid answered, getting his hair ruffled as a punishment from Izuku.
"Toriko, a travel guide for the multiverse to go with his pass," Gaia gifted. "Don't want you getting lost now, do we~?"
"Hey!" he shouted. "I'm not that bad!"
"No, but the multiverse is infinite, and you can get lost if you take a wrong portal," she stated.
All Toriko did was grumble and take it. When he opened it, his eyes bugged out at how huge the thing was. "... I take back what I said..."
"For Rin... Coupons for free spices throughout the multiverse that you can add to your own spice rack."
Nice~!"
"For Coco... Poisons through the Ages and worlds, a guide and samples of poisons both for you to use to attack and create counters for your world. Nice additive for what you got earlier~"
Coco just shrugged and took them, putting them with his other case.
"Melk, the craft items for forging your own god tier Melk knives," Gaia gave.
Melk looked like she was going to drool at the items.
"Just don't ask How and from Where we got them. If they ask, we didn't do it." Joy added, making the other gods give him a flat look.
"Now Komatsu, your own God of Cooking utensils to become your world's selected candidate," the System said.
"Really?"
"Only after you will be Tested. That will happen once done here."
"I better start training with the others then," he stated, determandly.
"And finally Zaus... What do we give him since he's a part of Izuku...?" Xara asked, looking lost.
"If I may... I would like Izuku to have my old knife and uniform. I know they are not Godly Equipment, but I would like to see part of me being passed to my Successor, even if said successor is already a new iteration of myself. Is it possible?" Zaus asked.
Izuku looked shocked. "Y-You would really do that for me...?"
"As your teacher, it would be my greatest pleasure, the final passing of the torch."
Zaus smiled at him. "You've earned them~" Just then, said knives appeared in Izuku's lap.
".. .FINE! Let them out... I'll take the mop..." Joy said, sighing.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"JESUS! SO MANY TEARS!" Knocking Master yelled in awe.
"I know..." the Eye answered, already mopping-up the excessive water that the drains couldn't keep up with.
Light laughed lightly. "We should get back to the show now~"
"S-Sorry." Izuku admitted, sheepish and finally stopping crying.
"W-Why...Why I accepted..." Enji groaned between clenched teeth as huge beads of sweat began to drip down his head and loudly splatter on the table.
The Pro Hero was already re-evaluating MANY of his Life Choices while swallowing the last mouthful of tofu remaining inside his mouth, and to the now overly-sensitive skin of his throat the jelly-soft thing turned as rough as glass shards leaving behind deep scorching marks everywhere during their journey towards his stomach.
"Ah-Aahh..." The Pro Hero could no longer hold back his groans, turning into a whimpering dying animal as his nostrils contracted and emitted thick streams of smoke at each breath.
"Poor thing," a nearby woman muttered in sadness from her table.
"It happens when you don't know your limits, dear. He can only blame himself now." her husband replied while taking her hand in his in a comforting manner.
"I AM THE ONE SUFFERING, NOT HER! COMFORT ME!" Endeavor roared mentally, now tears as well started flowing from his eyes in thick boiling-hot streams.
"Oh, no... My poor father is suffering..."
"Shoto-san, at least TRY to act like you care. You sound like reading from a script." Tenya commented with a sigh of dismay.
He gave him a flat look. "If you knew what he did... you'd have the same tone as me..." he stated in his monotone voice.
"Yes, I am aware 98% of our class has a tragic backstory, no need to remind me."
"98%?" Mina asked.
"As far as I know, Mineta-san and Tokoyami-san do not have a tragic past."
"Unfortunately." the bird-headed student added, bitterly. Since that would add to his gothic lifestyle and look.
"THAT'S A GOOD THING!" the Four Kings shouted at him.
"Sir, how does it taste? Is the dish's spiciness intense or not?" Izuku, MAYBE channeling a bit too much pettiness, asked with an overly-innocent tone.
"Gabu...Ggabuuu-buu..." Whatever Enji tried to say came out garbled and distorted, because his tongue had been thoroughly 'cooked' under the unrelenting Hell that was the spicy tofu.
"WHY!? WHY DOES SOMETHING SO SPICY EXIST, GOD?! FOR WHAT REASON DO YOU LET SOMETHING SO EVIL EXIST AMONG YOUR CHILDREN?!" Enji, maybe already going insane from the spiciness melting his brain, for an instant felt very religious as he sent this heartfelt question up to the Heavens.
"I pride myself in my personal chili sauce, it's my own secret recipe! If it is still not intense enough, you just need to take more mouthfuls of it. My blend is special, the more you eat, the more intense the flavor will be, what you felt up until now is nothing." The young Chef explained while describing his chili sauce with a proud voice.
Nothing? NOTHING?! That whore of your mother is nothing! This thing should be forbidden to use like Mustard Gas, Bio Weapons and Nukes! It's a chili sauce that only exists as a threat to Human Rights!
"HEY!" The roar that came out from Izuku's throat rattled the walls as green lightning covered his body.
"Oh, no... Please do not disembowel my father. DO not tear off his spine out of his butt to choke him with it. Here, take this exact note of his habits and weaknesses and fears instead." Shoto said, still with zero conviction.
"Damn, IcyHot, you can be a cruel S.O.B. when you want to be," Katsuki stated, sounding impressed.
"Please do not murder Pro Heroes." Aizawa asked with a tired voice. Why did he have all the problem children...?
"... Savage beating?" Izuku asked.
"Only if I am not there to witness it."
"SHOTA!" the other adults yelled.
"What? I'm too tired to deal with this..." he stated dryly.
"And I thought Toriko was reckless," Rin and Komatsu said flatly.
"I am not reckless, I am just tired of covering for my Colleagues' stupidity. If they tickle the nose of a bear, they deserve to get mauled, position on a scoreboard be damned. Enji is an adult, if he insults the mother of a kid that can collapse buildings with a punch, he must face consequences and get his bones rearranged like anybody else in his place would." Aizawa answered, shrugging.
"Well it just shows that they are willing to go PLUS ULTRA in your class," Fat Gums stated. Aizwa only huffed.
Able to only roar in the privacy of his head, Endeavor glared at Izuku intensely enough to make others believe he was trying to incinerate the Chef with his eyes only.
"...Unless you are a little Sissy that can't handle some chili sauce, of course." Turning juuuust a tiny bit evil, Izuku threw back at Enji the exact same words the Pro Hero dared to use against his beloved Customers.
"He is dead, Midoriya-san tickled his Ego." Shoto said with a sigh.
"Will he attack Izuku?" Momo asked, immediately turning apprehensive.
"Hn? No, I was referring to my father. Now that his Ego and Manliness have been put in question, he will lick that plate clean, even if it means he will die right after." he answered.
"...You don't seem worried about that happening." Jiro asked, confused.
"Hn." the young Todoroki answered with just a shrug.
"I am not."
"WE KNOW!" the students from Class A and B yelled in chorus.
"Jeez, you need an appointment with me," Hounddog stated.
"Both Class A and B need one. After Shigaraki and the League we were too occupied by rebuilding to check on them." Nezu answered.
"And some of the kid's pasts as well," Mic added.
"That too," Nezu agreed.
"Don't... Don't remind me that period of time... I-I almost died, remember." Midnight said, shivering and hugging herself.
"Thi-This dish isn't intense! It Do-Doesn't burn! I will eat...I will eat everything!" Enji gave a defiant roar, and to Izuku's surprise, the man actually emptied the entire bowl in one go and swallowed the remaining pieces of Tofu whole.
Tears came like a river then, and even the snot from his nose burned like acid on his skin while the Pro Hero's fists pounded the table continuously as he valiantly fought the blistering heat turning his mouth into an inferno; as sweat kept falling from his forehead like rain, he fixed his blurry and blood-shot eyes on Izuku's, like a feral beast no longer holding humanity inside glaring at its prey.
"Ah..." it was both scalding and spicy, Endeavor decided then and there that it was not God that made the spices, it was the Devil himself! And that blasted Chef was the Devil's emissary to bring such foul agony to light!
"Still not intense?" Izuku's gentle question horrified even Katsuki, no human was THAT merciless, Endeavor was clearly agonizing, and yet the young Chef asked that question with a completely calm demeanor.
"I-"
"Because remember, if it hurts NOW...It will hurt even more later, because all that will have to come out from your body, eventually." the young Chef explained.
"Ah." Enji's complexion turned ashen immediately as that revelation dawned on him, and unknown to him, the looks of sympathy from the other customers grew in intensity.
"A moment of silence for his assho-GUEH!" Before Mineta could finish his disgusting remark, Mezo and Sero slammed their fists on the guy's head with zero mercy.
"There are people eating here, lil' moron. Don't make me call the Robot again." Tsuyu added.
Mineta grumbled. "You didn't need to hit me like that..." he whined.
"Silence, you were about to make the same joke. I know." Tsuyu said.
"And none of you weren't ether...?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope!" Kirishima answered.
"Neither." Kaminari said.
"Liar!" he shouted, pointing at Kaminari.
"I...I give up..." Enji had finally reached his breaking point, as his Quirk stopped working the fire enveloping his body rapidly dispersed and the porcelain spoon in his hand fell on the table with a resounding thump.
He felt like he had just stripped off his clothes and jumped into a pool of magma, he could feel the spiciness permeate his entire body like a demonic possession, it was overwhelming to the point that it had begun distorting his view of the world.
"What was that?" Izuku asked, leaning slightly forward as Enji's expression turned unsightly: from red, his face became scarlet, and then gradually began turning purple.
Cough! Cough! "I-I-I give! I give up! You win! I can't take this! It's too much!" The Pro Hero fell sprawled on the table and coughed severely, with his hand grasping his throat as though it was about to spout fire out of it.
"Good to know. As promised, you will cover everybody's bill today. Hopefully you will have a different view of Chefs after today." the young Chef declared with a happy smile.
"Fine! Whatever! Now give me some Water!" Tears dripped down to Endeavor's cheeks nonstop, and the heat emitted by his cheeks made the tears seem like they'd evaporate any second.
He craved water. He wanted to drink a large quantity of water, as his tears were doing little to moisten his swollen lips.
"Where am I? Where do I want to go? What am I going to do? Why are my lips so swollen?" The Pro Hero's thoughts were a mess now, raving like a victim of high fever.
"Geez... he looks horrible..." All Might winced at the Number 2 Hero.
"We were told the effects of that big quantity of chili sauce, Enji should be happy he is not hallucinating," Aizawa said with a sigh.
"Or dead." Coco added.
"That too."
"I'll bring you some very cold milk, when dealing with spicy food, water won't help much." Izuku gave a sigh and walked back towards the kitchen.
"Th-Thank you!" Enji gasped in gratitude, he would normally be furious with the boy, but the agony of the chili sauce had numbed even his feelings of anger, along turning his normally-thin lips into giant sausage-like rolls of angry-red flesh.
As the Pro Hero and Hawks moved to sit in a more isolated corner, the students from 1A and 1B were finally able to order their food in peace.
"I would have preferred watching Whitey strip him, but I take what I can get!" Rumi admitted, grinning in amusement at watching Enji empty the giant bottle of chilled milk Izuku brought him in merely three gulps and then developing an elated expression.
"I-"
"You already gave a sad spectacle, Enji-san. That's enough for today." a Customer said while daintily cleaning his mouth with regal composure.
"Tch! FINE!" Endeavor conceded with a bitter tone, before setting down to try fix his blistering lips
"At least Sir Nighteye is not making a spectacle while eating," Izuku said in relief.
"Contrary to my colleagues, I do know how to control myself," Nighteye said with a smug smile.
"Only to use your powers to get a look at someone's future," All Might shot back.
"You try to let people guard down to make contact," David agreed.
"Jealous much?" the man answered.
"Not if it makes us as pessimistic as you..." David stated, dryly. Nighteye's eyebrow twitched at that.
"I am a realist, not a pessimist! Aizawa is the grumpy Pessimist, not me!"
"Leave me out of this," Aizawa answered.
"That reminds me, are you ready for the fish soup now, Nighteye-san?" Izuku asked.
"Yes, thank you. And congratulations, everything up until now has been delicious." the man answered while adjusting his glasses, having lost not an iota of composure while eating, to Izuku's relief.
"Yup! Absolutely amazing!" Gunhead, sitting with Sir Nighteye, added with a thumbs up, Jeanist at Nighteye's other side as well gave a nod of praise.
"I aim to please. Are you others too ready for the next dishes you ordered?"
"Yes."
"You bet!"
"I will be with you in a second then, please give me a moment." the young Chef answered, bowing, before addressing the tables of the students.
"That makes you boring, Nighteye. At least other people's flamboyant reactions make everything more entertaining." Midnight said.
"To each their own, I suppose." Nighteye answered.
"Wait, what is Mr. Eyes here power anyways?" Zebra asked, pointing his thumb at the suit wearing hero.
"If he touches you and locks eyes with you he can see your future and start predicting your moves." Izuku answered.
"... And...?" he asked, sounding unimpressed.
"He could dodge me!"
"Do you move at the speed of sound?"
"... Not really?"
"Exactly." Zebra said.
"He does keep up with All Might though," Izuku added. "He can almost move that fast."
"My Attacks are sound-based, boy. I don't need to hit him, I need him to hear me and the air pressure. The right frequency and I can melt his pretty brain."
"Just need to use the sound to redirect my piece into one of your eyes," Nighteye stated.
"If you need to believe you can win, go ahead. Like I care." Zebra answered with a shrug.
"Hn! Miracles of a full stomach, He can't be bothered to kill somebody," Sanni said.
"Good change of pace." Coco added.
"Wait, didn't he gain a new power to change things after seeing them?" Mt. Lady asked. "So he'd just change the outcome to win."
"Yes, yes. You guys are invincible and will wipe the floor with us and Blah Blah Blah!" Zebra answered, waving her off.
"STOP IT!" she shrieked, looking enraged at the man child.
"All hail the mighty Heroes!"
"STOP IT!"
"Invincible Mary Sues!"
"I'M GOING TO STRANGLE HIM!"
"And she fell for it..." Toshinori muttered in dismay.
"You can't fight here, remember." Light reminded them.
"GODDAMNIT!"
"Heh!" Zabra uttered with a smirk.
Mt. Lady gave a devil's smile. She then whispered to Joy about giving Zebra a ultra spicy drink
"Sorry, I am not doing it. I am already having enough trouble with Shirou."
"Uhu?"
"He coexists in Past, Present and Future, so he gets confused. Those are events that still have to happen." Light explained, reminding them again.
Mt. Lady pouted.
"You'll pay for this."
"Nope." Zebra answered.
"You'll see."
"No, really, he won't." Joy confirmed it.
"Goddamnit!" she roared, pulling her hair in anger.
"Feeling the pressure of a full restaurant?" Mina asked with a teasing smile as soon as he stopped at their table.
Sigh! "I really need to find a waiter or waitress, but I can't seem to find a good one," Izuku admitted with a defeated sigh.
"Why so?" Momo asked.
"Various things. The last three were especially awful: one had such a bad memory she could not remember the customers' orders long enough to reach the kitchen window and tell me. The second was a stuck-up fool that wanted to tell me how to run my Restaurant and the last one left as soon as he learned I am Quirkless. Apparently he found working for me an insult to his pride." he answered.
"I am sure you will find somebody good enough, you just have to have faith." Momo answered, smiling gently.
"I really hope so! But please, tell me what I should bring you, this small issue with Endeavor-san already made you waste enough time." Izuku asked with a sweet smile, although that same smile turned very stiff once he looked at Katsuki to take his order.
"You two know each other?" Tenya asked once the young Chef disappeared inside his kitchen, between them and the guys of 1B, the ensemble of orders was extremely varied, enough so that the students did feel kind of bad since each one of them ordered something different.
"Sort of." Katsuki answered.
"You put him into a coma, Katsuki-san." Momo explained with a cold tone, way colder than usual as her sharp eyes drilled a hole in the blond's head.
Katsuki groans, being reminded of his other's actions.
"A bit too harsh, Yaomomo." Mina admitted, wincing.
"Doesn't make it any less true." she answered.
"...rry."
"What was that?"
"He said, 'Sorry'." Both Zebra and Jiro said at the same time.
"SHUT THE FU...FUDGE UP!" Katsuki shrieked, changing his language when he got death glares from Inko, Izuku and Mirio.
"Kacchan?" Izuku asked, seeing his friend's strange expression.
"...Was I really that bad back there? With you?"
"You told me to take a Swan Dive and hope for a Quirk in the next life."
"I did?"
"You were particularly angry though."
"Not exactly a good excuse..." he admitted.
"I don't hate you, though."
"... How?"
"I just don't."
"What?!"
"...How do you know?"
"His mother and mine are close friends. Izuku comes to my house weekly to give cooking lessons to my mother, and often Inko-san accompanies him so that our mothers can have tea together after the lessons. My mother managed to have Inko-san explain what happened to her son that made him choose the path as a Chef...Your almost killing him was one of the key factors." she answered.
"I DID NOT-"
"Please don't make a scene," Izuku cut him off while delivering water and a few appetizers to the table.
"Today I have Edamame and pickled cucumber as an appetizer, feel free to ask for refills if you want, the first refill is free." he explained before walking towards the table of the students of Class 1B to deliver the same small dishes.
"...I did not try to kill him, it was an incident." Katsuki said again, this time with a normal tone of voice.
"What part of blasting him away after he saved you was an incident?" she asked.
"The blasting part," he hissed between clenched teeth.
"That sounds awful," Tenya admitted.
"I was wrong, okay?! I was wrong."
"Did your other version admit he was wrong?" Tetsutetsu asked in surprise.
"I almost killed somebody. OF COURSE I CAN ADMIT TO BE WRONG! What the Heck do you people think I am?!" Katsuki answered.
"..."
"Don't you dare actually respond! I was being rhetorical!"
"You almost killed an innocent bystander that actually helped you, that is worse than being wrong." Tokoyami answered.
"I am sorry, okay!?" Katsuki answered.
"Does he know you are?" Shoto asked.
"...He doesn't talk to me, he doesn't look at me nor does he want me anywhere close to himself or his family. I technically have a restraining order his family issued against me, I can get close to him only if I am accompanied by somebody else, I am not even supposed to be here, actually. I guess he did not force the issue just because you others kind of vouched for me." he answered.
"Do you actually want to apologize?" Mezo asked.
"And tell him what? 'Sorry if I almost killed you, I was an asshole'?" he shot back.
"...That would be a good start, Bakugo-san." Izuku answered from behind him as he came to deliver a tray of Carpaccio.
"F***!"
"Oooh, God..." Katsuki moaned in despair.
"Well, At least he knows you are sorry, at least partly." Rin said.
"He just needs an attitude adjustment," Sunni stated.
"Hey! Don't be mean with Kacchan!" Izuku said.
"Nerd..."
"ONLY I CAN DO THAT! It's my Karmic payback!" Izuku then said.
"...You know what? Fair enough." Katsuki admitted.
"Your appetizer, Momo." he then said, smiling gently and delivering the big plate of white Puffer Whale Carpaccio he prepared for her.
He passed that Ingredient for common puffer fish whenever somebody asked, but it was actually the Reward the System bestowed on him for passing his Test.
"Just like the one you made when I got into UA?" she asked, sounding very hopeful.
"The very same. Please enjoy your meal," he answered before walking away.
"Thank you!" the girl replied, taking a couple of pieces with her chopsticks and swallowing them whole.
"Mmmmh!" and developing a blissful expression of pleasure while chewing.
"Shit...He heard me..." Katsuki swore again.
"At least you know where to start,"
"Shut-up, Bird-head!"
"Revelry in the dark."
"Oh, Stuff it, ya big turkey!"
"Hey!" Dark Shadow shouted at the explosive blond. "Don't be mean to Fumi!"
"Oh, shut it you damn, Turducket!"
"FUUUUMIIIIIII! HE'S MEEEEAN! HE IS CALLING ME NAMES!"
"You have to admit it does fit you two," Sero stated.
Fumikage and Dark Shadow gave the tape user.a glare, and fell into a fit of annoyed grumbling.
"Can I try it?" Tsuyu asked.
"Here..." looking a bit reluctant, Momo moved her plate a bit towards the Frog Girl, who had the brainwave of taking just a single piece once seen the tall girl turn frantic at her chopsticks grabbing two.
"Curious..." she muttered while studying the small piece of fish fillet and then trying it, going wide-eyed right after once tasted it.
"Mine!" Momo, maybe sensing danger, immediately said while pulling the plate closer to herself.
"Be gentle and share." Tsuyu said, a bit of a teasing scolding tone in her voice.
"No! Mine!" Momo answered, protecting her own portion, there was a bit of a playful tone to her voice though.
"Then would that make us yours as well~?" Ochaco teased her classmate/girlfriend.
"Yes."
Ochaco only giggled.
"Have they been acting weird lately?" Sero asked one of his male classmates.
"Dunno and don't want to know. Because what I don't know can't hurt me." Shoji answered.
"Ignorance is bliss," Ojiro agreed.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Nothing is different!" Pony said.
She then sat on Izuku's lap and started feeding him. This made all the male students give a deadpan look.
"How's it?" Ochako asked as she watched her friend chewing rabidly and without any intention of stopping.
"Holy Shit..."
"Does it mean it's good?" Jiro asked, smirking.
"Holy-" Ribbit! "-Shit..."
"I take that as an 'It's very good'." Mina answered, chuckling.
"Izuku-san! I want a plate too!" Tsuyu asked as soon as she saw the Young Chef come out from the kitchen to deliver a few dishes. To the others' surprise she sounded extremely needy.
Just then the said dish appeared in front of them.
"Say Aaaah!" And Pony was still feeding him.
"UNFAAAAAAAAIR!" Mineta howled in tears of blood.
"You are not allowed to talk," Zebra growled at the midget. "You are a coward and a wimp and have no redeeming qualities!"
"That's not true!"
"Jiraiya died to fight Pein. Master Roshi died several times to contribute to the fight against Evil. Miroku was always ready to use the blackhole in his hand even knowing every time he could die, Meliodas is the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and tries his best to save people, and every time he is killed he loses more of himself, but keeps going despite that to help save people...Shall I continue? They too are the Pervert Archetype, but they are actually useful. You are not." Monoma answered.
"What about you, huh!? You were just a Copycat that has Inferiority and Superiority Complex!"
"Yes, but I admit that and I am working to better myself. You? Besides wanking to your classmates, crying in front of danger and whining, what have you done?"
"I was able to use my Sticky Balls with Midoriya to capture the villains in the USJ after I saw how cool he was!"
"That is true." Izuku confirmed.
"And?"
"..."
"Kind of helped stop Midoriya when he refused to get us to help him. Even if I went dragged along for several meters since I am smaller than him."
"Eh. Fancy that, better than nothing."
"Now I am curious," Aoyama admitted.
"Me too! Midoriya-san! Can we have some as well?" Tooru called-out as well.
"Puffer Carpaccio? Okay! How many of you want it?" Izuku asked.
"All of us!"
"Okay!"
"We want some too!" Itsuka asked.
"Very well,"
"Can I eat it while using your abs as a plate, though?" Rumi added with a feral smirk.
"T-T-T-That is impossible at the moment!"
"RUMI!" Ryukyu shouted at the bunny girl.
"Other me!" she shouted, holding her hands up.
"Don't give me that! I know you'd do something like that!"
"..."
"NO! Do NOT second them!" Katsuki said.
"But... But... But it would make them happy!" Izuku said with a whine.
Izuku was hit over the head by a comically oversized paper fan. "THAT'S NOT THE POINT DEKU!" Katsuki roared at the greenette.
"Aaaaw!"
"And you stop sighing longingly, you thirsty thots!" Katsuki shrieked.
All the girls had the decency to look away, blushing.
"And women call men perverts when they themselves are just as bad..." Tamaki stated flatly.
"It's called hypocrisy." Zebra answered.
"I think Persona 4 talked about it," Juzo stated.
"HOY! HOY! HOY!" Enji shrieked in horror once seen the price of the dish they all asked for.
"You lost the bet, if you did not want to pay for all this, you should have won." Shoto answered, merciless.
"TU QUOQUE?!" the Pro Hero bellowed with an expression of pure betrayal.
"What happened to the bond between Father and Son? To the Love between family members?!" the man thought in misery.
After that, more and more plates went amassed on the tables of the students of Class 1A and 1B, with the young men and women there gorging themselves, and looking at the young Chef in awe for the sublime taste of the food, all at the Pro Hero's expenses.
"He is a cheapskate, he can spend money for once." Shoto said.
"Knowing Enji, he would suffer less with somebody tearing off a leg than him spending money." Toshinori answered. "He always was a penny pincher."
"Geez... He sounds like a stuck up ass..." Zebra stated.
"Zebra, the kids!" Sunni roared.
"What? It's not a bad word..." Sunni only gave him a flat look.
Two Hours Later -
"Shit! I am about to explode!" Katsuki said with a strained voice while massaging his bulging belly.
"It was all so amazing!" Kaminari muttered in awe.
"We have to come here again," Tooru said, groaning in fatigue.
"I want to eat more, but while the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak and ready to burst!" Tenya added while looking in sadness at all the dishes on the menu he had not tried yet.
"That tiramisu was orgasmic!" Mina admitted.
"Yes it was, it was delicious." Momo confirmed, having taken a few VERY VERY Generous portions of said dessert once she'd heard Izuku made it just that morning.
"I expect you to make it for me too, often." Momo said with a small smile.
"Okay," Izuku answered, shrugging.
"You do know we can just make it appear, right...?" Xara reminded, flatly.
"I don't want the one of that Izuku, I want something from my Izuku." Momo answered, huffing haughtily.
"Same," the other girls agreed.
The table with the four students from class 1B were similarly stuffed to the breaking point, and from afar, Endeavor' soft sobbing was heard in all its misery, those greedy students tried to eat him into poverty! Monsters!
"I take everything was to your liking?" Izuku asked while nearing the students' tables.
"F*** yeah! I am coming here again, I don't care if my blood turns into ragu sauce or a heart attack kills me! You fucker have just become my damn favourite cook!" Tetsutetsu answered with a thumbs-up.
"Glad to hear that, what about you others?" the young Chef asked.
"Are you open to the idea of Marriage?" Rumi asked.
"RUMI! OH MY GOD!" Ryukyu yelled.
"OTHER ME! OTHER ME!" siad rabbit hero shouted, pointing at the screen.
"Hahahahaha! Ahh, as if I had any chance to woo a woman like you. That's way too fun." Izuku admitted with a hearty laugh.
"... Should we tell him or...?" Mina whispered her question to Momo.
"I don't know. He is already doubting WE are seriously courting him instead of joking, it's up to Rumi, I fear."
"And the other Heroines as well," Tsu added.
"We are working on it." Mandalay whispered, and behind her Pixie Bob and Ragdoll gave a thumbs-up.
"Ah?!" the students of class 1A almost died of fright at the sudden roar that tore its way out of Momo's throat once heard that.
"Yeah, marry him and invite me for dinner once a week!" Pony shamelessly suggested.
"Me too!" Itsuka chorused.
To their surprise Izuku turned cherry-red and bashful, catching the eye of the female customers present at the cutesy scene.
"Ah-humm...I-I don't think I can do that. You are a very pretty woman, I am afraid I am not worthy of marrying somebody pretty as you, you deserve somebody a lot better than me!" Sounding absolutely shy, the young Chef answered with a low voice and a very embarrassed expression.
"Exactly! I am not THAT cute or sexy or whatever." Izuku admitted.
Everyone gave said boy a deadpan look.
"..." Ryukyu just shoved her elbow in Rumi's side.
"Not... Not yet! Okay? It's not the right moment yet!" Rumi answered.
Ryukyu gave her friend an unamused look. "You are one stubborn bunny, you know that...?"
"Is no one going to comment on Yaomomo growling like a beast?" Mina asked.
"I know how to defend what belongs to me..." Momo answered, this time she moved to sit on Izuku's lap.
"... Okay?" he answered, unsure.
Ochako got a mischievous smile and sat on Momo's lap as well. "You're both comfy~"
"You okay?" Tenya asked.
"I have two girls on my lap, why shouldn't I be okay?"
"Just asking," he answered, shrugging.
Mina wolfwhisled. "You go Ochako~ Yaomomo~!"
FWOOOOOSH!
"You...You should not sell yourself so short, you know? You have plenty of good qualities yourself! P-Plenty to attract any girl!" Rumi had said that as a joke, having already prepared a pretty-crass counter for his eventual answer, but being praised with that much honesty was not what she planned for, and while pulling down one of her long rabbit ears with one hand and playing with a fringe of her long white hair with the other, she gave a stuttered embarrassed answer herself.
"Aaw! They look so cute, isn't that right, Yaomomo?" Tooru asked, both playful and actually gushing.
"..."
"...Yaomomo?"
"..."
"I-I-Is she okay?" Mineta asked, scared.
"..."
"She is not blinking..." Tokoyami whispered, sounding afraid.
"Yo! You there, Big Boobs-" BWHAM!
Katsuki was actually the only one that got an answer from the young woman: her fist moving backwards she slammed on his nose without even looking behind her and that made his entire face sink inwards in a perfect imprint of her knuckles.
"How dare you!"Katsuki roared.
"Come now, that you had it coming," Momo stated.
"Kacchan loves his nose, he thinks it gives him a very dignified face," Izuku said.
"DAMN RIGHT IT DOES! FUCKING GOD HIMSELF CHISELED THIS MASTERPIECE!"
"..."
"WHAT?!" Katsuki barked in anger.
"... You have a way too big of an ego dude..." Sero stated, dryly.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY WEIRD ELBOWS!?"
"Nothing, nothing. We all know MY nose is prettier."
"Don't tempt fate," Tokoyami said, sighing.
"We all know that moi is perfection~" Yuga stated, waving his hair with his hand, and having sparkles appear around him.
"Don't you even try." Zebra hissed.
"Umpf! Spoilsport." Sanni answered in disdain.
Not too far away, Sir Nighteye and his colleagues left the money for their bill to Whitey and left the Restaurant on the notes of class 1A and 1B arguing with each other, and while Jeanist and Gunhead happily went their way once exited, the bespectacled Pro Hero remained on the sidewalk to watch the young Chef inside the Restaurant.
He knew Izuku had not been fully honest with Endeavor; they boy DID recognize the value of Pro Heroes (The Serious Ones) and what they did to society, and yet he also clearly held both Endeavor and All Might in slight contempt. And while one may understand how Enji could earn somebody's dislike, Toshinori instead was a different case, and Nighteye was not letting his personal feelings get in the way of his judgment either.
"That young man has something against Toshinori, something personal. You don't use that much distaste while calling somebody a Moron just because you are not a fan, that is a feeling with deep roots." he muttered, thoughtful.
Whatever it was, it was the boy's own personal affairs, something the Pro Hero did not want to intrude upon, even if it did make him curious as to why that was the case.
"He calls himself a Quirkless, and yet he could scream that loud and summon that avatar behind himself...And he doesn't like Toshinori..." it was then that a theory faintly formed inside his head.
Said hero looked glum at hearing this.
"All Might..."
"I am okay, Young Midoriya... I... I am okay..." Toshinori answered.
Izuku could only worry.
"Another Quirkless asked me if he can become a Hero even without powers. I might...I might have been a bit too blunt in telling him it was not possible. He looked exceptionally hurt.'' There had been a moment, right after Toshinori had passed his Quirk to Nighteye's pupil Mirio, that he saw the blond man turn sad all of a sudden and deliver that line with a regretful tone.
"Blunt is an understatement. I was probably not there redacting your speech, so I shudder to think what you told him." Nighteye said.
"Uuuugh! I am sorrryyyyyy!" Toshinori said with a long whine.
He was hit over the head by Gram. Recovery Girl and Knocking Master. "YOU IDIOT!!!"
"Seriously, adopt him if you love him so much," Zebra said, scoffing.
"..." both Inko and All Might looked away.
"OH, MY GOD, TOSHINORI!" Aizawa yelled.
"I was drunk and conveniently forgot he has a living father, okay?" All Might muttered.
"God, it was so cringe..." Izuku muttered.
"... I did say me and my husband are in an open marriage..." Inko reminded them. "So... he already could be considered his second father, spiritually." Inko said.
"And he went overboard, as usual." Nana added, sighing.
All Might just slumped, even his master was admonishing him.
"...You still signed those papers, didn't you?" Ochaco asked with a whisper.
"Yes, but don't tell anybody." he answered.
"If I heard correctly, Midoriya-san has been put into a coma by one of those students around the same period of time...Could it be?" Nighteye muttered as he studied the young Chef as he momentarily stopped by the table occupied by the students from class 1A, and whatever he said, it seemed Ochako found it especially hilarious. Or at the very least, she seemed to find him personally endearing.
Nighteye decided that he needed to check a couple hospital reports to see where and when the young man had been brought to them, along remembering the date Mirio had his second Quirk injected, because the last thing they needed was another Villain acting on his hatred for Heroes because the 'Number One Hero of Japan' destroyed his dreams before he could actually manifest his powers. There were many Villains that turned to Evil for far less.
"If that is the case he may have manifested his dormant Quirk thanks to the coma, if we get him soon enough, we can still teach him how to use his powers for good. Whatever those powers actually are." Nighteye muttered, thoughtful.
"...Just to be sure..." he then muttered as he managed to lock eyes with Izuku, he had exchanged a polite handshake with the boy before leaving, meaning that he could actually use his Quirk Foresight to peak into the Young Chef's future to see if they could actually avoid him turning into a Villain.
"GUH!" Unfortunately, as soon as he tried using it, Something forcefully and mercilessly snapped their connection, making Nighteye stumble a few steps back with a splitting headache and blurry vision, and if he was not mistaken, there was blood dripping from his nose.
Whatever it was, Nighteye was almost sure it was not Izuku himself that repelled his Quirk so brutally, but a third party, that theory was helped by the Chef showing surprise at first and then annoyance as he glared at him briefly before returning to work.
"That must have been unpleasant," Nighteye said.
"That you is bleeding." Toshinori pointed-out.
"I think that The System and/or my Appetite Demon broke your connection with your Quirk," Izuku theirorized.
Nighteye smiled. "It's good to know that there are some things that can change the future then."
"You're not mad?" Zebra asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Why should I? I personally am aware that Midoriya is on the side of good, if System-san is extremely protective and determined to keep everything a secret, I can't exactly do anything about it. That other me will soon learn that our Quirk doesn't automatically justify us to become paranoid control freaks."
"... That close-call with death did a number on you..."
"Shut-up, Toshinori."
Zebra shrugged. "I just heard that most Future seers hate it when things change."
"I'm not most," he stated. "I find it better that fate can change and isn't set in stone." He pointed to Izuku. "Midoriya was to die at the hands of Overhaul, and he changed that."
"One of the MANY 'too many' times I almost died," Izuku answered, sighing.
"Most Seers hate to see the future change because they are scared of the feeling of uncertainty that comes with their visions being voided. They get so used to knowing what is about to happen that they are actually afraid of being proven wrong." Joy added.
Nighteye shrugged. "I like being proven wrong about my Quirk."
"What was that?" he muttered with a low whisper.
"A warning. You are trying to see into things beyond your understanding, kiddo. Next time your pretty eyes will be forfeit. That Chef is beyond your or everybody else's reach, what is protecting him is not something you guys can trifle with." To the Pro Hero's surprise the answer came from the lazy dog sleeping next to the entrance, his voice was magnetically warm and deep, absolutely unfitting for a dog.
"What do you mean?"
"Is this Lord Dog your teacher? No. Then just walk away and forget what you saw or heard, this is just a normal restaurant, nothing more."
"I-"
"I said scram." Blackie muttered with a tone of finality, and as dog and man locked eyes, a deep sense of primal terror washed over Nighteye for a brief instant, before the dog returned to sleep.
"...This doesn't make any sense." The Pro Hero muttered while walking away, dozens upon dozens of questions piling-up in his mind instead of going away; he felt there was something wrong about that restaurant, and he felt the need to see deeper into it and possibly save the young man working there from whatever Nightmare was hiding behind its doors.
"This won't make them less suspicious." Toriko said.
"Nope!" Mic answered.
"Good dog, but he just made Izuku more incriminated," Jiro stated flatly.
The green-haired boy leaned forward and buried his face in his hands.
"I already am an Anomaly there. I-Island is studying me from afar, and I bet many Heroes have already noticed how abnormal that me is, otherwise Sir Nighteye wouldn't have tried using his Quirk... Blackie threatening him is just another drop in an already overflowing cup, he just sped-up things a tiny bit..." He muttered in dismay.
"High luck stat..." Light stated.
Later that night – after closing hour -
Once the last customer was gone, Izuku could finally close the restaurant, tidy-up the place and spend a good two hours talking to the phone with his parents about how his day went, since Inko and Hiashi were apparently not happy enough to just be able to visit Izuku's restaurant whenever they wanted. Not that Izuku minded, he loved his parents too much to refuse their visits or calls.
Once everything was done, the young Chef washed himself and prepared to go to bed, only for the System's voice to suddenly ring in his head followed by a happy fanfare.
"Congratulations to Host Izuku for reaching the 'One hundred Dishes served' goal in the month time limit! An extra two bottles have been added to the Wine Cabinet as a prize." the Voice said.
The Wine Cabinet Izuku unlocked thanks to Endeavor willingly destroying his bowels for their bet was a tall fridge-sized glass cabinet completely transparent and big enough to contain forty bottles of wine, five for each row; it now contained six different kinds of white wine and six reds, counting the extra ones he was just gifted with, and while only Middle-Range in Quality, they were still the sort of stuff wine lovers would love to see on the menu.
Speaking of Endeavor, Izuku found himself idly wondering what the Pro Hero was doing at the moment...
"Suffering?" Shoto tried saying.
Many rolled their eyes at that question.
With Enji – His personal office inside his Hero Agency -
"OH, GOD, WHYYYYYYYYY!" a miserable shriek of agony echoed everywhere inside the office as the Pro Hero Endeavor was still blocked sitting on his personal toilet trying to not defecate his own organs out of his body.
His underlings could only listen powerless as their Boss and favourite Hero sobbed uncontrollably while trumpeting sounds kept exploding out of his behind, bringing his shame to new heights as a result.
"No more! No more! I'll respect Chefs, I swear! Just put an end to this torment!" the man whispered while crying fat tears of sorrow.
Some of the pros winced at what was happening to Enji. "I feel somewhat sorry for him..." FatGum stated.
"Half-N-Half, stop hugging the Nerd." Katsuki said, groaning.
"No, he is my best friend and he deserves a prize." Shoto answered, hugging Izuku while still sporting his plain expression.
"A hug?"
"He is already marrying my sister, This is just an extra."
"Wait what!?" Izuku shouted in shock.
"Sorry, I already decided, you can't refuse."
"What about her?!"
"..." Shoto remembered the shrine in her closet and gave a shrug. "She won't be against the idea, I think."
Izuku just groaned.
"I don't think his dick will survive." Kaminari muttered.
"Ufufufufu! You don't know what I know, boy..." Nana muttered with a devious smile.
"Uh?"
"Nothing!" she answered with a very fake innocent smile.
Back with Izuku -
"I hope he is okay and not suffering too much." Izuku muttered with a sigh.
All things considered, he loved his Restaurant, even if he kind of missed the more Exotic Ingredients of the Gourmet World, that while difficult, were always a pleasure to cook.
"About that, Dear Host..." as soon as that thought crossed his mind, the System talked again.
"And here I jinxed myself."
"Host Izuku, as the aspiring God of Cooking of the Hero World, you must not be idle, but venture outside to hunt for Ingredients! Be Brave and Work Hard, young man!" the System declared.
"Hunt down Ingredients? Okay, I guess. Where am I supposed to go? The sea? The mountains?" Izuku asked.
"The System will teleport you into Another World, where you will have twenty-four hours to collect enough Ingredients to fulfill your quota. Find the 'Special Ingredient' to unlock an extra, Special Reward."
"Another world?!"
"Another world!?" the watchers shouted in shock as well.
"Dimensional Travel... You are like Joy... You two have no sense of scale or Shame..." Light groaned in dismay.
"Meh!" The Eye answered, shrugging.
"Limitations are for weaklings." System added.
"You mean Pussies?" Katsuki asked, eager.
"Indeed."
"I love that thing! Bwahahahaha!"
"I do agree with the System," Aizawa agreed. "Plus Ultra."
"You and that Thing are way too similar, it scares and confounds me." Mic admitted, sighing.
Aizawa just ignored him.
"A simple human world like this one offers not the right Ingredients to nurture a future God of Cooking. As such, the "Special Rules" have been implemented. Tomorrow at dawn Host Izuku will be brought to the Jungle World by the System's teleport array.
Reward for Successful meeting of requirements:
10% bonus EXP.
1 Fragment of the God of Cooking Set.
Access to the 'Rainbow Fruit' from the world the Host knows as 'Zaus' World'.
Bonus Reward for the capture of the King Python: Access to the Ingredient known as BB Corn from Zaus' World." the System answered.
"A second Fragment...if I do this I would then only need another to unlock that knife again, and even gain access to two other good Ingredients from the Gourmet World of Zaus even without Leveling-up. And while not Ingredients of the highest grade, here those two would be a huge sensation all the same just like the Puffer Whale already is...What happens if I fail?"
"Host Izuku will lose 60% of his total EXP and lose his Washing Machine privileges for a month." the System answered.
"GUH!" the young Chef grasped his chest in horror, not only would he lose a ton of Experience Points, thus slowing his leveling-up, but he would also be forced to wash all those dishes by hand for a month! He HATED doing the dishes by hand!
"RAINBOW FRUIT! It's part of my Full Course Menu!" Toriko yelled in glee.
"It's good?" Aizawa asked.
"It is. The best way to serve it is by turning it into jello and serving it cold, its flavor changes the more warm it gets inside the mouth, up to seven times. It tastes of every fruit. Literally. Changing fruit flavor based on temperature." Komatsu answered.
"It tastes like Apples~?" Eri asked, stars in her eyes.
"Apple, banana, cherry, orange, mango, papaya... Every fruit," The Chef answered with a gentle smile.
Eri looked on in awe.
"You can use it to make wine too! A very strong 85% alcoholic one. Delicious!" Knocking Master added with a wide smile.
"I accept the terms!" Izuku answered with blazing eyes, due to his cooking teacher's methods for punishing his students, washing the dishes had become one of the young man's worst nightmares, making him ready to do EVERYTHING to avoid such a fate!
"Good! The System will immediately start organizing for the teleportation of tomorrow. Nobody will notice Host Izuku's absence, Host can rest assured and only worry about preparing himself for the trip." the metallic voice answered.
"Okay!" the young Chef replied.
When the next day he woke-up, Izuku went through his usual training regimen of cutting and carving until the System alert for him to get ready came, and once took a shaky breath the young Chef moved to the middle of the kitchen to wait for his trip to another world to start, Whitey already standing behind him and ready to accompany him. He was ready, full of supplies and shaking heavily.
"Is Host Izuku ready?" the System asked.
"Yes."
"Good. Commencing Teleport." the metallic voice answered, and in an explosion of blinding light both Chef and robot disappeared without a trace.
"Where to?" Coco asked.
"No spoilers," Light stated.
"You and not spoiling things," Gaia stated.
"I find them irritating," he stated firmly.
WOOOOOM!
As soon as the rain of starlight faded away, the young man found himself in the middle of a luscious forest of giant trees as big as skyscrapers and very tall grass, all around him the chirping, growling, howling and cawing of numerous far-away animals.
"I can do this...It's not different from any trip I made to the Gourmet World as Zaus. I did it once, I can do it again." Izuku muttered to psyche himself up before walking forward with Whitey silently following behind him.
And while this happened, Momo and the rest of class 1A were going to visit the USJ building, unaware of what a disaster that school trip would be.
After that last amounes statement, the screen went dark and the lights turned on.
"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the USJ is coming up," Ojiro pondered.
Light nodded. "I'll admit that much, but nothing else that will happen."
"Yes, Yes. You are the No Spoilers Dude, we know." Tetsutetsu answered.
"It's going to be as bad as ours?" Tsuyu asked.
"I fear that yes... He will be that bad." Tenya answered, groaning.
"Was it really that bad?" Monoma asked, his usual snark missing. "You all did get out alive."
"Coming out alive full of PTSD doesn't exactly equate to being a walk in the park." Tokoyami answered.
"I only did thanks to Aizawa and Izuku, ribbit," Tsu stated. "I almost got myself disintegrated."
"... I'm sorry, what?" Toriko asked, looking shocked.
"One of the villains has a disintegrating Quirk," Izuku stated. "When he puts all five fingers on something, it starts to degrade. Now what would happen if it was activated on a living person?"
"And I thought being a Poison Man was bad," Coco stated.
"Alright, we'll have another thirty minute break for the next one to be set up, and for you to do what you all need to do," Xara stated. "You all have new gifts and some still have yet to use/practice the ones they got from their first challenge."
"I never did get to try my new gear," Izuku stated.
Momo turned to the girls and Tamaki. "Meeting then practice, okay?" she asked them. They nodded in agreement.
Everyone got up and left to do their own things while the next video was being set up.
To Be Continued....
______________________________________________________________________________
And we are done with the chapter finally...
Melk: "You guys okay?"
Life...
Joy: So much stuff to do... So little time to write...
Not to mention all the crap that happened...
Melk: "Ouch..."
Right, before we sigh off, we have something to add for those who haven't read this over on AO3.
Joy: in the Original novel, the Main Character Bu Fang is sometimes tasked by the System to go collect a special Ingredient somewhere in the world he has been moved on to open his Restaurant.
Those Missions more often than not result in Bu Fang fooling some guy's plans as collateral damage.
In this story Izuku will go in similar Missions for the System, sometimes they will be "harmless" and take place in other worlds (Plural), but often those Missions will take place in his home world...And those will put him between the Villains and their goals, meaning All for One will soon start to be PISSED with a mere Quirkless Chef too! XD
Melk: "Of course. God forbid the boy has a quiet life."
(Points to Joy) Blame him. I'm just making you guys react to his life.
Joy: I didn't want to make a "Slice of Life", at the time I didn't believe I had the skills to pull it off, so this was my best Plan B...
Melk: (Groans) "Let's just end this..."
Right. Anyways, we hope that you all enjoyed the story this far, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
Joy: That is also my favorite! BYEEEE!
Melk: "See you when I come next time. Whenever that might be."
And with that, see you all next time.
Please R&R
