Chapter 8: Watching Episode Seven: "Izuku's Wrath! Inoshiki Assault Arc. Part 1"

(Main Room)

Everyone was leaving the theater room after the last episode. Jiro was heading to meet with Xarazechi to get more music from him. Toriko had stopped when he smelled a familiar scent, and his eyes widened. He turned and saw a door that was there before that read 'Pet Room Theater'.

"No way... Could they have.." Toriko stated in shock. He then turned to the other. "Guys! Hold on!"

This made everyone stop and look at him. "What is it, Toriko?" Coico asked him.

Toriko smiled on his face and pointed to the door. "I think our godly friends brought some more guests," he stated. He opened the door and a giant white wolf jumped on him, shockling the heroes.

"Toriko!" All Might shouted in worry, about to attack when Rin held her arm out to stop him. "R-Rin, what are you-?"

"AHAHAHA! Terry! You're here buddy!" Toriko shouted in joy, making the others look and see the wolf was licking Toriko's face. "It's good to see you too, boy!"

"Uh... What's going on?" Ryuku asked, confused.

"They took our Pet Companions here too! Awesome!" Toriko answered, happy.

"My beautiful Mother Snake Quinn is here? Aaaw! I missed her so much!" Sanni said with a touched expression. Just then, a giant pink snake head appeared through the door, freaking a lot of people out.

"They are talking about the giant pets we used to fight together with. A Battle Wolf, a Mother Snake and an Emperor Crow." Coco explained to the others.

Tina's eyes widened. "Kruppoh, you here?" she called out, getting a round cream colored pigeon to fly out of the room with a pink penguin following them. "Kruppoh, you're here too~" she cheered, hugging the Balloon Pigeon.

"Yun! You are here!" Komatsu smiled seeing the little pink penguin. "It's good to see you buddy!" Yun cheered in happiness, making all the girls swoon at the adorable little creature.

"I take it this is the Balloon Pigeon you were telling me about, Tina?" Mic asked, getting a confused head tilt from Kruppoh.

Kruppoh pointed a wing at Mic, seeming to ask who he was. "Oh, well, Kruppoh he's... well he's my new boyfriend from that alternate reality we've been watching, well not same reality, but you get the idea."

Kruppoh was shocked and looked at Mic. "Hey there little guy, nice to meet ya~" he greeted, snapping his fingers and pointing finger guns at the bird. "I hope we can get along~"

The thing just rubbed its head against Mic's cheek before ballooning into a giant round ball.

"Huhuhu! He likes you! Come on! Try sitting on him!" Tina said, chuckling.

"Sitting on... Him?" Mic asked.

"It's his way to show he trusts you, come on!"

"Uuuh... Okay... Plus Ultra... I guess..."

BOING!

"Oh, wow! He is bouncy! Haahahaha!" Mic yelled in glee as Kruppoh started bouncing around.

"Huhuhu! Yes, it's a nice way to fight stress." Tina admitted.

"I can tell," Mic stated, smiling.

Terry pricked his ears up and looked over at the heroes, specifically Hound Dog. Hound Dog walked over to the Battle Wolf. "What a magnificent creature you are."

"Seems Terry has taken a liking to you Hound Dog," Toriko stated. "Guess he sees you like him."

"I'm honored then," he said. Terry let Hound Dog pet him.

Just then a giant purple bat gorilla walked out, making Melk's eyes widen. "Pochiko, you're here too?" she asked.

"Whoa, that is the most rocking thing I've seen," Jiro stated in awe of Melk's animal partner.

"More than a bloody giant snake!?" Tooru aid in panic while pointing at the ludicrously giant pink snake towering over them all.

"That crow... Such Magnificence of Darkness! Such Royalty in black!" Tokoyami said with a stricken tone while admiring the luster of Coco's giant pet companion.

"Sorry, too taken by petting the adorable pink penguin!" Mina and Pony said in chorus while petting Yun. Yun was jumping happily.

Just then a two head giant lizard and giant octopus that looked like a melon appeared next. "Hey, even Ob and Octo-chan are here~!" Toriko shouted.

"... Is it just me, or does that giant octopus look like a watermelon...?" Mount Lady asked in disbelief.

"Well he is an Octomelon after all," Rin stated.

"... Again... Your world is crazy..." Midnight stated, flatly.

"We should have them here so you can get used to them," Toriko said, smiling. "You might like them."

"That's why they were brought here," Xarazechi stated, appearing behind them all. "But they will be in that room for watching the show, if that's fine with you all? They will be watching the show."

"I am all for it! I missed Terry so much!" Toriko answered, and the Battle Wolf gave a long howl of happiness.

"You know? There was a time I tried to get an animal companion myself." Zaus admitted.

"Then?"

"... Then Joie happened. And poor Demi ended-up being part of a dish." The spirit answered with a sigh of regret.

"Your friend is resting in Heaven, but they are not blaming you." He'art said.

"That... That is actually a relief."

".... I think I might be able to reincarnate him, like you were, as a pet for Izuku, if you are fine with that Zaus?" the angel asked the chef.

"You would do that?" he asked in shock.

"I would, you were a victim of a madman, and should be happy, in your new life."

Zaus bowed to him. "I would be grateful then. At least the new Me and that poor Tokage will have a chance at being proper friends and partners,"

"Well then, what should Demi be reincarnated into...?"

"Well since they were a giant snake of shadow, maybe a Pokemon, a Legendary Shadow one," Joy suggested. "A Marshadow."

"That could work, living in Izuku's shadow," Light agreed, nodding.

"A Marshadow?" Toriko asked. "Is that a marshmallow made of shadows?"

"No, you foodie. It's a creature of amazing power from another world." the Eye answered, grumbling.

"Here's what they look like," Xara said, bringing up a picture.

https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7b/0802Marshadow.png

"And you are confusing it with the Darkmellow, that Gourmet World ingredient that looks like a pitch-black marshmallow spider." Coco added.

"Well parts of Pokemon are used for food, so he isn't completely wrong," Light added in. He then looked at Zaus. "Will this do?"

Zaus nodded. "Yes. I think they would like that body."

Tokoyami smirked at Izuku. "Looks like I won't be the only one with a living shadow."

"..."

"Oh no..." Katsuki whimpered in fear.

"TAKE COVER!" Tsuyu shrieked while throwing herself on the floor.

Everyone in Toriko's world was confused, until-

"IT'S SO CUUUUUUUUUTE! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"FUCK!" The Angel, Nobody and Eye shrieked in chorus as the water level immediately reached alarming levels.

"Gah!" Toriko shouted in shock. "And I thought the Salamander Sphinx cried a lake, this kid could match it!"

Gaia appeared and drained the water. "What the heck happened?" she asked in shock. She then sees the image of the Pokemon and puts two and two together.

"Okay, fair and valid." She admitted, gushing at the Mythical Pokemon's cute appearances.

"We were thinking of reincarnating Zaus' old animal partner into a Marshadow," Light told her.

"I see, fits with the creature it once was, and it'll be a Ghost/Fighting type," she stated.

"Uh, what?" Rin asked, after recovering from the flash flood. "Ghost/Fighting Type, what's that all about?"

"Basically a way to catalog those creatures, in this tiny thing case, it means he or she will be specialized in hand-to-hand combat and spiritual/spiritic attacks. To put it extremely simply." Gaia answered.

"Along being a Living Ghost." Joy added. This surprised Toriko's group.

"Awesome! Pokemon are real!" Denki shouted in joy. "And Midorya is getting one!"

"How many types are there?" Zebra asked.

"There are eighteen types in total," Light answered. "Sunni there would love the Fairy Types."

Rin deadpanned. "Of course my brother would..."

"Wait, brother?" David asked her, surprised.

"We are brother and sister, yes. What? Got a problem with that, hn?" Sunni asked, huffing annoyed.

"... You two are just so opposite that you don't seem to be," Melissa answered. "But now it makes a bit of sense."

"I think Rin would like Fight Types, since she looks like she'd be a sister to some of the Female Fighting Type Gyms." Xara stated, thinking of a few of the Fighting Type Gym Leader Girls, mostly Maylene.

"Coco seems like a Grass Type aficionado, with his relaxed and calm attitude towards Life." Joy said.

"That or Poison or Psychic," Xara added. "Poison for his poison obviously, and Psychic because he's a seer."

"All of them fit, yes." Joy admitted, humming.

"Okay, as much fun as this is, we should be on break," Coco stated, smiling. "Still, I'm surprised there are these types of creatures that are poisonous."

"There are many Pokemon out there," Light stated. "All of them have their own strengths and weaknesses."

"Cool," Toriko said, smiling. "Is there a Dragon type?"

"Yes," all of them answered. "One of the favorite typings of most."

"AWESOME!"

"Just to inform everyone, we have Jewel Meat and Seven Colored Fruit in the kitchen now, as well as the fresh minerals from Narnia's Center," The System called out to them.

"Alright!" Tetsutetsu shouted.

"Jewel Meat!" Toriko yelled with shining eyes and drooling a river.

"So I finally get to try it? Nice." Ryukyu said, smiling happily.

Eri's eyes widened and sparkeld. "The Fruit that tastes like apples and other fruits?" she asked in awe.

"Yes, little one." Rin answered, patting her head.

Eri looked excited. "Papa, Komatsu-san, please make it for me?"

"Right away!" both shouted, smiling. ""We'll be making a Lunch Feast for our break, so let's all head to the mess hall."

Everyone cheered.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Kitchen/ Mess Hall)

While the cooks were in the kitchen working on the items, the aromas blended and made something amazing.

"Dang, I can smell the Jewel Meat and Rainbow Fruit, but those minerals from this Narnia, usually they don't have a smell, but I can smell aromas from them," Toriko stated, smelling the food.

"So what took so long to get the minerals from the center of the planet?" Tetsutetsu asked the System.

"The System had to get permission from the god of the world, Aslan, for permission to get ingredients from his lands," the System informed them. "They're a good person, er... lion. But it had been a while since we talked."

"Huh, cool," Tetsutetsu said, shrugging.

"Might be able to finish my full course, the Main Course, with what's out in the multiverse," Coco stated, interested.

"Same," Zebra nodded, wondering so as well. He then thought about something. "I wonder if there's an ELDER GOD ingredient, a step above GOD."

"Can't tell you, that would be spoilers." Joy answered.

"Thank you." He'art said, pleased.

Zebra started to drool hearing that. "Well then, my bet with Komatsu to be my partner." He said, still remembering his condition. "I'll have a better Main Dish than yours Toriko."

"WO! Wo! Wo! I say I will loan Komatsu to you, but he is my Combo Partner!" Toriko answered, super annoyed.

"Please be nice, we can't be rowdy guests." Coco chided them.

"Pops taught us manners." Sunni added.

"Are they always like this?" Mount Lady asked Teppie, who was sitting next to her, Kamui Woods and Death Arms.

"Oh! They are a wild quartet, but they have a great heart too, and while they like to bicker like normal brothers, they know when to be professional... Most of the time." Teppei answered, chuckling.

"I see. Oh, by the way, thanks again for training with us Teppei," Death Arms thanks. "I think I'm getting the movements down of the Knocking full body lock up."

"Yes, and using my Quirk to make fine toothpicks like needles that can send knocking through was a clever idea."

Teppei wrote it down, in bad penmanship, "It is no trouble, I feel a real connection with you guys."

"... You really need lessons in writing though..." Kamui stated flatly, not bothered with him writing to them, Heroes had to use silent communication at times.

"I'm not that bad, am I?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"A two year old writes better than you," Mount Lady roasted him.

"Aaaaw! Not even a three year old? TWO?!" Teppei asked with an exaggerated swoon that made the three Heroes laugh.

"I like to see them interact like this, I was worried they would not be so friendly when we started." The Angel admitted, sighing.

"I mean, both groups are heroes that fight for justice..." Joy answered.

"Still, one can never be too sure."

"True."

"Order Up!" all the cooks shouted, bring out the dishes. The Jewel Meat was shining different colors duke to all gold, silver, bronze, iron, copper and other fresh Narnia minerals, next to it was the Rainbow Fruit Jello Pudding and with it drinks that were literally squeezed jewels, from rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sharpies, you name it.

"We call it the Jewel Feast. Do you like it?" Komatsu asked, cheerful.

Ryukyu's dragon instincts were calling out to take the meat and drinks. "My dragon wants me to take all that for myself."

"It smells amazing~!" Toriko shouted.

"My Main Course is even better now!" Sunni shouted.

"It was amazing how the jewels were like that of fruit," Izuku stated.

Everyone was given a plate of Jewel Meat, Rainbow Fruit and Jem Juice. "It's fascinating what is out there," David said in awe.

"Yes, and we are just a small part of it," Nighteye stated.

"Thank you for the food," Ibara prayed.

"I give my thanks to the feast this universe provides, Itadakimasu!" Toriko stated.

"Meat that shines like gold and changes color with the minerals, juices that sparkle like diamonds and other fine gems, and a fruit jello that looks like a rainbow... My inner Dragon is just in bliss." Ryukyu took a bite of the meat... and her eyes turned reptilian. She then let out a roar, and elements, like fire, ice, iron, ect. were firing out of her mouth. "AMAZING!"

"Usually Gold doesn't have any flavor, but this Narnia Gold from the planet's core has a rich earthy velvet taste, and the same with the other Minerals added to it, giving a blend of flavors that amplify the Jewel Meat~!" Toriko stated, his body glowing. He then took a drink of the Diamond Juice. "Ah, and this Diamond Juice is almost like a soda, and the flavor is like nothing I've tried. It's sweet like honey and so refreshing." He tries a Ruby Juice next. "And same with the Ruby Juice, almost like every red colored fruit out there! This one is just... UUUUH!"

"Come on, Toriko! Control yourself!" Teppei begged.

"Can't help it! It's so goooood!" He answered, looking far too happy, with a contagious smile.

"This is the best damn iron I've had!" Tetsutetsu shouted, eating his Jewel Meat, and feeling his Quirk getting empowered by the iron. "I can feel my Quirk becoming denser and thicker with the iron and other minerals!"

"Phrasing!" Somebody yelled from the back.

"Ah shut up and let me eat!"

"Damn girl! You're eating for three!" Rumi said, laughing.

"Can't stop! It's just so amazing!" Ryukyu admitted, gorging herself. She felt her dragon self being empowered by the food. "My inner dragon is craving all this! To give me powers of different elemental dragons. To be an Empress Dragon!"

Melk looked happy. "This is as good as the Melk Stardust... Wait, Komatsu, did you add that as well?" she asked, the flavor of that hitting her as well.

"Hehehehe! I still had some with me, and tried to see if it could go well with Jewel Meat and the other Ingredients, and it turns out that they compliment each other splendidly." Komatsu answered with a cheeky smile.

"Two different worlds, combined into one~! Yes, I was right to have Jewel Meat as my Main Course!" Sunni shouted, practically glowing like a supernova.

Eri was eating the Rainbow Fruit, her eyes sparkling. "Yummy~!" she squealed in joy.

"Eat as much as you want, Eri, it will help you grow strong." Izuku, sparkling even more than Sunni just thanks to nearly-discovered fatherly pride, watching his little unicorn eat with a giant smile on her face.

"I guess we found Young Eri's new favorite dish." Toshinori said, laughing.

"And the perfect way to have her behave." Nighteye added.

"Not that there would be need, she is far too well mannered." Aizawa added.

Eri looked at Toriko. "Uh, Mr. Toriko, you told us in your world that people have a course menu, right?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Toriko asked, eating his dessert.

"Can I make one and have Rainbow Fruit as my dessert as well?" she pleaded, puppy dog eyes on full force. "I know it's yours, but I really love it~!"

"Hahahaha! Just because it's in somebody's Course Menu, doesn't mean you can't add it to yours! A Full Course Menu is a list of dishes that represents us, what we believe in. So if you want to add the Rainbow Fruit to yours to remember this small adventure with us and those three strange guys, go ahead, you have all the rights!"

Eri's smile brightens the room! "Thank you, Toriko!"

"Then why did you and Sanni argue over that with Jewel Meat...?" Komatsu asked in a deadpan.

"It's a matter of being the first to add it." Sanni answered.

"Basically childish pride." Coco supplied, sighing.

"COCO!" Both Heavenly Kings yelled in chorus in childish anger.

Aizawa was eating the jello. "This is like my juice packets, I could get used to this."

"I did suggest using them as inspiration for this version of the jello, sensei." Izuku admitted, scratching his cheek while blushing.

"... If you can make me coffee just as good, I'll teach you ways to use your Black Whip like my capture scarf. I saw that you used the capture type like that, but you have a long way to go."

"Damn, Shota is actually impressed," Mic stated, sitting with Tina. Kruppoh was pecking at his food, loving it.

"Well, there is the Dynamo Coffee back home. You could bribe him with that, Izuku.." Zaus said.

"It's illegal to own and process it, Zaus." Setsuno said.

"It's illegal in our world, not theirs. And that's just because a single cup of espresso made with that keeps you awake for a week straight."

"GIMME!" Aizawa demanded with needy, blood-shot eyes.

"SHOTA, NO!" Mic and Nemuri yelled together, afraid that he wouldn't sleep for weeks if he drank a mug of the stuff.

"It would be rational for me to have that so I can work without sleep."

"Yes but your mind would still give out and so would your body!" Recovery Girl shouted at the teacher, hitting him on the head.

"A worthy sacrifice!" The man answered.

She pointed her cane at him, an aura of rage around her. "Do it, and I will sedate you, am I clear? BY SUPPOSITORY! THE ORANGE-SIZED ONES!"

Aizawa just grumbled, going back to eating.

"GAH!" Ryukyu shouted in pain, making everyone stop and look at her in worry, she was on the ground, holding her sides. "W-What's happening!?" Just then her Quirk activated, transforming into her dragon form, making everyone get back.

"Crap, I think she's overcharged her Quirk!" David shouted.

Horns were forcibly pushing out of her head, while her wings popped out and six more started to grow out of her back.

"Everyone, give her space!" Toriko ordered, everyone doing as told.

"Woooo! You got even bigger, sister! Ha-ah! A bit too late for a growth spurt!" Rumi said, laughing amused at the giant dragon.

"No, Rumi, get back! It's not over yet!" she yelled at her friend, still in pain.

What looked like gems of energy were starting to appear around her neck and chest, twenty in total. Then her tail appeared from her back and was spitting into four with spikes growing on them. Ryukyu eyes opened, and her once gold eyes were now permanent slits with them being an ever changing rainbow. She let out an ever stronger roar then before, some of the students feeling a pressure on them that was wanting them to kneel before her. The Pros instinct made them get on guard. And for those of Toriko's world, those that had Battle Aura automatically summoned them from the pressure that she gave off.

Ryukyu was huff hard, sweat rolling off her with her blood and scales that fell off when her body was changing. "I... I think it's over..." she groaned out. She started to change back, but a few things were still there in her normal body. She still had the horns, four gems that had the basic elements in them, two of her wings and one of her tails without spikes. "W-What, b-but I turned back. W-Why do I still have some of my dragon parts?"

"Ooh! Controlled Quirk Singularity!" David said, starry eyed.

"Uh?"

"Simply put, your Quirk had a secondary mutation thanks to this food, only one that did not result in your death, ours, or both! Very nice! Fascinating! It seems like whatever power is in food from their Gourmet World and other worlds does hold the keys to the secrets of Evolution! Amazing!" The man answered, taking notes of everything he saw.

"HBBHGVGHCGVJGJBJHNK-MUTTER! MUTTER! MUTTER! MUTTER!" Izuku was doing the same, only, a couple hundreds times faster, enough Joy and Light were having troubles supplying him new pads to fill fast enough.

"I... I evolved with my Quirk?" she asked in shock. She then groaned and went to her knees. "Still hurt like hell though..."

"Well your body literally was ripping and fixing itself at the same time," Toriko stated, helping her up with Rin's assistance.

Rin got a spray bottle. "Here, this will help with the pain, I use it when monsters need to relax or not feel pain." She opened the cork and let Ryukyu smell the Super Relaxation Fragrance.

Ryukyu did so, and felt her pain ease. "Thank you Rin."

"Good, isn't it? Aaaaall relaxed."

"Yeeah."

"Glad to be of help." Rin said, pleased.

Mirko had a savage smile. "You and I are sparing later, Ryukyu," she stated. "And if that's how you evolved, I wonder what I could get~!?"

Zebra walked up to Ryukyu and told her, "Don't get cocky now that you're stronger, got it?"

"Trust me, I won't if I have to go through that kind of thing every time my Quirk evolves to a higher level," Ryukyu groaned. "Still, I didn't think this would happen, I knew my Quirk was craving all that food, but forcing me to evolve like that?" She then let out a blech that literally flew fire in Zebra's face. "Uh... Sorry about that."

"...Pppft!" A snort was not what they all expected.

"You need to brush your teeth, little lizard. Your breath is atrocious." Zebra said, smirking.

"HUSH! I just had lunch!" Ryukyu answered, appalled.

This broke the floodgates, making everyone laugh.

"Okay everyone, I hope you all enjoy the feast, because time is almost up," Light stated, smiling.

"Already?" Mount Lady asked in shock.

"Ah, but I wanted to fight..." Rumi pouted. She then shrugs. "Eh, next time then."

"Can we take the rest with us?" Toriko asked, still eating.

"You can, will go great with the food for later," Xara stated.

Melissa looked at her father. "Do you think my Quirk will get stronger to dad?"

"We'll see dear, I think we'd need to find the right food that calls out, like what happened with Ryukyu," he told her. "She said the food was calling to her and her Quirk, that could be an indicator to what we'd need to look for."

Izuku and Melissa nodded. "Yeah, I think you're right."

Light whispered to Joy. "Joy, do you think if Rikido Sato took a drop of that Rose Extract he'd evolve?"

"Well it is concentrated sugar so it could..." he muttered. "When we get to that part, we'll let him try it."

Everyone took the remainder of the food and started heading to the theater.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Theater)

After Ryukyu regained more of her energy, Recovery Girl healed her fully. Everyone made it back to the theater. Toriko and his group's pets went back to the pet theater. Komatsu then remembered something.

"Hey, Melk, you never did say what you thought of the I-Island knives," he stated, getting her attention.

"..."

"Come on, lay it on me. I am a big boy, I can take criticism." David offered, smiling gently.

"... They suck. I can tell the weight is off towards the tip, not considering the main body is either a few millimeters too wide or too thin compared to the kind of knives you were trying to make. And the metal was wrong! Just because you use super-alloys doesn't mean the knives will automatically be better! The metal you use can and will influence taste! Especially if coming in contact with hot or cold Ingredients! And the handle! That was far too smooth and small! Grip is fundamental! You have to measure the hand of the Chef and make it precise to the millimeter! Not making a generic size based on some common hand measure! The tip itself! Too narrow! It will bend at the first stress and-"

"I... I think that's enough." Melissa said with a nervous smile.

"BOOOOOOOOOH-OOOOOOOOOH!" David in the meantime was crouching in a corner crying his eyes out.

"Wow... She was brutal..." Nighteye muttered, impressed.

Melk then added. "But I can tell the metal can be used, if forged by a Melk, it can be something grand, but it'll have to be done by hand, not a machine, understand?" She asked David, pointing her finger at the man.

"R-Right," he said, nodding. "It's a good thing you're teaching my daughter and Mei then."

Just then, the lights dimmed and the show started, everyone taking their seats.

"Starting nooow! Get ready, this is a good one!" Joy said with a giddy voice.

A Chef Rebirth chapter 7:

Izuku's Wrath! The Assault on Inoshiki Chef Academy Arc! Part 1.

Number 4 Yavin Street – Green Cloud Restaurant -

It was just another morning for Izuku, he woke-up at dawn, trained hard his cooking skills following the System's training regimen, sent a 'Good Morning' message to Momo and then prepared the spicy beef noodles for Blackie before giving a rapid clean-up to the restaurant before opening for business starting with his Breakfast Service, soon filling the Main Room in the amazing scent of croissants, cupcakes and freshly-ground coffee. And the latter was a joy for a coffee-junkie like Izuku, he had at his back and call over a hundred different kinds of coffee to use, thing that made him VERY happy.

Another thing that made him happy was not only the Jewel Meat already becoming a Cult Classic of Yavin Street with 'Meat Experts' clamoring to have more, Izuku actually found a Waitress! He finally found a GOOD one!

" I will agree on the Jewel Meat," Ryukyu stated, having more of it with the juice and jello.

"Geez, you had enough yet?" Rumi asked her. "We don't need you to go through that again."

"Honestly, I don't feel it, sure, I feel my Quirk getting new abilities, but not force evolving," she stated. "I think I need something stronger than Jewel Meat and The Narnia Minerals now to evolve again," she stated. "Call it my dragon instinct."

"So like how we need to eat something teaster than before for our cells to evolve further," Toriko stated, getting a nod from the dragon woman.

"I think so, yes," she agreed.

David, Izuku and Melissa were writing all this down while Mei was writing down new ideas for babies to make with new Quirk evolutions, laughing maniacally. "So many babies~! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Teppie looked at Power Loader and asked., "She always likes this?"

"I think she's getting worse now that Quirks and Humans can evolve with food," he told the green pompadour man.

Miss Ochako was a dear friend of Momo the young woman assured was a very bright girl, in fact he could testify how young Uraraka had took the job seriously from the get-go: she was fast in delivering dishes and recovering the empty plates, she needed only a week to memorize most of the menu and was quick on the math for the customers bills and even faster to stop Dine-N-Dashers, even her Quirk was incredibly useful to deliver more dishes at once in a single trip!

Three days a week was all the time AU and her own Hero Training left her as free time for the job, but compared to nothing at all, the young Chef gladly accepted the extra help, especially since those three days covered the weekends where the influx of customers was the highest.

She was even chatty and curious about him personally! (And didn't mind Izuku's numerous questions about her Quirk and the Hero Course in general), she actually looked like to be eager to be his friend!

So, yes, there were now many things that made sure Izuku could be outrageously happy while working lately!

Unfortunately that morning there was instead something that made him a bit less happy: seeing Toshinori, in his All Might Persona, enter his Restaurant as soon as he opened while wearing a yellow-striped suit that would make Fashion Designers everywhere gouge-out their eyes.

"... It's not that bad, is it?" Toshi asked, looking at everyone.

"Let's be fair, Toshinori. I am not about to force a dress code on my employees, Gods knows I don't exactly like limiting one's freedom..." Nezu said, smiling and drinking his tea.

"But?"

"But if I see you wearing that thing again during any of your classes, I will burn it. And I may forget to wait for you to undress first."

"Got it, Sir." Tosinori answered with a sigh of defeat.

"Thank you." The teachers present answered in chorus.

"Yes? Here again? This is the second time this week." he asked, professional smile still present but clearly not reaching his eyes. Now he really felt like he needed Uraraka as a filter of sort between him and the man or his old Partner Sir Nighteye, too bad it was Monday so Ochako could not be there to 'take the bullet' for her Boss.

"Ehm...Uhm...Parlay?" the Pro Hero tried asking with a nervous smile.

"You mean the 'Let's put aside hostilities and talk like civilized people' thing?" Izuku asked, sighing.

"That one."

"...Get in." he answered once took a HUGE breath and pinched the bridge of his nose.

All Might slumped in his chair. "This is going to be a mess, I just know it..."

"How bad could it-" Teppei's mouth was covered by Kamui's Quirk.

"Do not finish that sentence Teppei."

Having sensed the hostility still lingering about and took a table on the far back under one of the Restaurant's infamous 'Quiet Trees', Toshinori took a deep breath himself and addressed the core of the matter.

"Do you hate me?" he asked, bluntly.

"Hate is a strong word."

"Do you?"

"...No."

"You wouldn't have helped me if you did, I see."

"Not really."

"Uh?"

"To my shame, I mostly did it to show you and your Hero friends that even as a Chef I CAN change the world if I want to, but I did save you and changed your future with my dish all the same, didn't I?" the young Chef asked.

"So you knew?" Toshinori asked.

"About Sir Nighteye's prediction and how it got shattered? Yes, I was told by him during one of his NUMEROUS visits after your recovery. Same going with your dying Quirk, is it back to normal now?"

"You know, after All Might was healed, I did feel our connection strengthen..." Izuku muttered to himself. Only Jiro and Zebra heard him, but both kept quiet.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Toriko asked him.

"Not yet. Not yet." Izuku, sweating far too much, answered with a very forced smile.

Zaus and the other One for All user rolled their eyes.

"Wonder what the kitten is talking about?" Rag Doll asked the other Wild Wild Pussycats.

"I... Listen, it's a very touchy subject. IF it comes to the point we need to explain, we will. But please, PLEASE, do not ask for more. Not every secret has to be told, not everything personal has to be shared just because we are friends. Let us... Let us keep this secret just between us unless forced to share it." Toshinori begged, and even if super muscled, he looked frail, afraid.

Everyone looked at one another and sighed, nodding to the two. They went back to the screen.

"..." that gave All Might a pause, he had felt One for All return to full power even after his passing it to Mirio after eating Izuku's food, but at the beginning he had thought it was merely a temporary thing, but instead it looked like the young Chef in front of him forcefully moved Time backwards for All Might's body and Quirk, a testament of which was the fact that now between 'Toshinori' and 'All Might' there wasn't much difference in muscles sizes.

Toshinori's body and Quirk were now back to what he was before that fated battle against All for One, as if nothing ever happened, and he could not understand HOW the boy did that.

"My Quirk was supposed to fade away, but you resurrected it, and me with it...How?"

"Good food and skills. Why you say your Quirk was supposed to fade away?" Izuku asked back.

"I...I am sorry, I can't tell you."

"Then I can't tell you how my Abilities work. Sorry but as it stands your Secrets are not more important than mine." Izuku answered while moving away to welcome a new duo of Customers.

"Chef Izuku! The usual!" the blond woman in Hero Costume asked.

All Might sighs. "I really did need Young Midoriya to help me more than I thought..."

"I think a lot of us did," Nighteye muttered, fixing his glasses.

"Guess with All for One, you two got paranoid?" Knocking Master asked the two, taking a swig of booze.

"That man has spies everywhere, and manipulates people to do what he wants," Gran stated, growling at remembering Nana's death. "Look what he made the blond sparkly boy go through to make people hate heroes and see them as corrupt as he is. Think of him like the Big Bad of your world that has minions to do things, and what happened to Zaus with one of their minions, Joie or whatever the brats name was."

"After a while, you start wondering who is on your side, and who pretends to be your ally while being a Spy. So, becoming paranoid is the least that can happen to you. And look at us, Nighteye basically lives in a fortress that doesn't even try to look like a normal apartment while I... Well... The people I have here now are all the Family and Friends I have." Toshinori admitted, sighing.

"Damn..." Teppei muttered.

"Sorry for bothering you as soon as you opened, but she gets crankier than usual without her breakfast," her masked companion added, sighing.

"No problems for me, I am always happy to serve my customers! I also got the chocolate cake out of the fridge before opening so it is now soft just right. Does Miss Mt. Lady want some together with her coffee?" Izuku answered, this time with an honest happy smile.

"Yes, Miss Mt. Lady would love that." the woman replied with a cheeky smile.

"Me too, if you don't mind." Kamui Woods added, shrugging.

"I'll be with you in a moment," he answered before walking away.

"Good Morning." Toshinori said once seen the two sit close-by.

"First you get that Villain before me and now you want to steal my breakfast?" Mt. Lady hissed in contempt.

"I told you that I didn't want to steal anybody's job, I was just passing by when I saw Headgear taking hostages."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." she answered, making Kamui Woods with her shake his head in dismay at her manners.

"Still the glory hog..." Kamui stated flatly at Mt. Lady.

"And I thought Sanni had an ego," Teppei teased her.

"Oi! I'm not that bad!" she roared at the two.

"Should I remind you of your debut?" Death Arms reminded her.

"What did she do?" Teppei asked, looking lost.

"You don't need to know, mister!" She stated, poking him on the nose while pointing at him. Teppei just held his hands up in surrender.

"She's a bit of a glory-hound, but in Heroics she already has an amazing track record... Yes, she goes a bit heavy on sex-appeal, but it's her right to do it. Doesn't change the fact she is an amazing Hero." Izuku said, shrugging.

"Hey~ If you got it, flaunt it~ You should feel confident in your body~" She stated, smiling and shrugging.

One after another, more customers came and went, and Toshinori had a first row seat on seeing the boy managing the tables by himself while also cooking and recovering the empty plates, working tirelessly and yet exchanging smiles and jokes with the Regular Guests of his Restaurant...Except with him.

"Rumi-sa-"

"Rumi-chan! Chan! It's not that hard!" the bunny girl said with a mock glare.

"Rumi-chan...I CAN'T be your plate, that would be hardly hygienic. And also highly unprofessional" Izuku answered.

"But it would make 'licking the plate clean' so much better!" she replied.

"T-T-That too would be bad!"

"Afraid of getting hard?" she asked with a knowing smirk.

"...Among other things." he admitted.

Izuku was blushing red again, steam coming off him. Joy was roasting marshmallows over him.

Ryukyu swatted Rumi over the head, her hand covered in scales over it to make it hurt for good measure. "You and your damn bunny hormones..."

"Don't slap me! You all thirsty thots were thinking that! At least I'm honest enough to admit that!"

"It's not a virtue!" Nemuri said, groaning in despair.

"Says the R-18 Heroine..." she shot back.

"At least I don't harass people for real! I play a character, but I do not go around actually asking people to let me lick their abs!"

"That me is a horny teen! Cut her some slack!"

"Please stop screaming." Nezu said, unfazed. "Or I will have the commotions dock your pay."

This shut the girls up.

"Damn, that mouse is scary," Teppei wrote to the others so Nezu wouldn't hear.

"I swear I won't mind if that happens," Rumi promised while purposely passing her tongue extra slowly on her lips to turn them glistening.

"I would mind, instead. I would mind it A LOT!" Momo choose that moment to make her presence known, and actually sitting in front of Rumi at the same table.

"Momo?" Izuku asked.

"Took a little detour for a cup of coffee and a good morning, and I am glad I did it. Don't worry, I will deal with her myself." she answered, and turning just a bit smug at the kiss on the cheek she got from the young Chef before he left their table.

"This means nothing." Rumi hissed.

"What do you want from him? Is he another notch to put on your belt?"

"What the hell do you think I am, uh?!" the bunny girl asked with a growl.

"I am not that kind of woman!" Rumi roared, standing up and stomping her foot. She heard that line so many times in her life, she hated it. Sure she flirted and teased, but never got that far, and those that tried... were kicked in the face.

"I am not defending that myself, but that you is clearly overstepping in her flirting. Can't blame that Momo for getting angry." Momo answered.

"Do you have any idea how many times I heard that!? It. hurts!"

"But she did say she wanted him as a plate, you can't deny that. Had a man told that to a woman, many of us would have been up in arms already. It is borderline harassment." Ryukyu added.

"... Okay I'll admit I MIGHT have gone too far," the bunny hero muttered.

"A bit?" Zebra asked her, thinking she was getting cocky.

"Okay a lot!" she roared, grinding her teeth. "Happy?"

"Better," he stated.

"Somebody coming here daily at random intervals to molest him. He is trying to do his job and doesn't need a horny rabbit clinging to his leg."

"HOW DARE YOU!?"

"What is his favorite color? Least liked movie? His mother's name? What's his dream? His worst fear?" Momo asked with a calm tone, opposite to Rumi's own furious one.

"..."

"I know many things about him and will learn even more because I am honestly interested in him, just like he is interested in me and is slowly learning more about me. On the contrary, you just want him the same way a spoiled toddler wants a new Toy. I am learning to know him, the Good and the Bad, just like he is doing with me...And You? Do you know ANYTHING about him? What do you want from him, really?"

"..." the bunny girl simply sat down at that.

"Thought so. He is just a new pass-time until you grow bored and find something else to keep you entertained, well, I won't let that happen." Momo declared, firmly.

"And what if I am serious about him?"

"Some of us live Romance differently. I do everything with no restrain, with only one speed: Mine. I may not believe in fluffiness, too much, but this doesn't mean I cannot Love just as Romantically as any other person, just... My way." Rumi said, rapping on the ground with her foot.

"... Well she's protective, since people would only be into me for my family and money..." Momo stated, sighing. "She wants to protect the one person who sees me for me..."

"Ah, gold diggers," Rumi stated, nodding in understanding.

"The Cleaner version of the ones chasing women just for their looks, but equally bad." Nana said, sighing.

"Nothing a Texas Smash can't fix." Izuku muttered, unfortunately everybody still heard him.

"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might gasped.

"I-"

"Not without me! Two punches is better than one!" Toshinori finished saying, flexing and smiling.

Aizawa groaned. "Damn problem child..."

"Have you two met outside the Restaurant? Have you exchanged something more than a polite greeting? Talked together? Laughed together? Shared common interests? I think not. You just come here, make some crass jokes, unashamedly flirt with him to get him embarrassed and then leave. Sorry but no relationship can be born just from Teasing and Flirting, no matter what your favourite Shojo Manga may suggest."

"And you did all that instead?!" Rumi asked with a challenging tone.

"Yes."

"Uh?!"

"We go on dates, talk to the phone, he visits my home to teach my mother how to cook and I visit his parents home to spend some time with him and his family. We have already argued and made peace twice this week we have been officially together. We kissed? Yes. We just embraced and enjoyed each other company in silence? Yes! I got his head on my lap and my head on his plenty of times too! We are CLOSE, something fundamental to develop a relationship. Do you understand the difference between us then?"

"..." It was clear Rumi was angry, and yet tears too were mounting in her eyes, if from her rage or something else thought was known only to the bunny girl herself.

"This means nothing! NOTHING! And I'll prove it to you." she hissed in answer, eyes full of animal fury.

"How? Let's hear."

"By stealing him away from you. You make him happy? Well, I'll make him happier! If I had ANY doubt about courting him or not, thanks to you I got my head straight, he will be MINE!" she declared before marching away.

Ryukyu groaned, facepalming at her friend's counterpart actions. Melk gave the rabbit girl a flat look. "Really...?"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! She obviously has a crush, she is just, you know, justifying it in the totally wrong way!" Rumi explained, with a nervous smile.

"Your need to defend your reputation as a Badass Girl is sometimes worrying, almost clinical. Why must you hide the fact that you ARE a romantic girl? Playing it off as just a challenge makes you look shallow. And I KNOW you are not! You are making it look far too bad, just to not admit you have a crush... Well, that the you in there has a crush." Ryukyu said, exasperated.

Rumi slumped. "When you put it like that..."

"Don't tempt me, Yaoyorozu!" the other answered, slamming the door closed and disappearing around the corner.

"...What happened?" Izuku asked, he had just left the kitchen to bring Momo her breakfast to witness the bunny girl storming off.

"Just a fool fighting a losing battle, don't worry." she replied with a gentle, sweet smile while accepting her coffee and croissant.

"Oookay? Just don't get hurt, please." Izuku begged, worried.

"Don't worry, if somebody gets hurt, that won't be ME, promise." she answered.

"That does not reassure me, truth be told." he admitted while walking towards All Might to deliver the man's 'American Style Breakfast' he had ordered, mountain of pancakes included.

"My God...I missed you, my old friends..." Toshinori admitted with teary eyes while looking at the waterfall of syrup covering the small mountain of pancakes from top to bottom, then at the roasted sausages, at the crunchy bacon, at the sunny-side-up eggs and at the HUGE pitcher of chilled orange juice in front of himself.

Just then, said breakfast meal appeared. All Might was weeping in joy. "I can finally enjoy my favorite meal." He grabbed a glad of the Gem Juice, and was eating in joy.

"So overdramatic." Nighteye said, sighing.

"Hush! I can finally stop going through that diet of barely-solid food that tastes of cardboard! Let me celebrate!" Toshinori answered petulantly, sadly while with his mouth full.

"This is good with the Jewel Meat," Ryukyu said, eating hers. "... Huh, Still hungry."

"Must be your new body," Toriko stated, finishing his. "You might need to eat more to keep up your body."

"I can do that!" She answered, smiling cheerfully.

"Wonder it that will happen to us, if we have Quirk Awakenings," Yosetsu wondered.

"That must look so amazing!" Izuku and David said at the same time.

"The Oranges are freshly squeezed...Imported from Sicily...Please enjoy your meal." the young Chef said mechanically.

"I am really here to make peace, young Midoriya." Toshinori said with a sad smile.

Sigh! "Fine. Mine it's not a Quirk, Toshinori-san. It's another set of abilities. More I can't tell." Izuku whispered with a tired sigh.

"Hn!?" the Pro Hero almost chocked on his food at that admission.

"What about you?" the Chef asked.

"...I am sorry, I can't tell you."

"Hypocrite."

"I-" whatever excuse Toshinori was about to use died in his throat when he saw the young man's eyes lose focus and then bulge-out once he finished listening to whatever distracted him.

"...You GAVE your Quirk to somebody else?!" Izuku asked between clenched teeth.

People choked on their meals after hearing this.

"..." Poor Izuku, slowly, slipped down and off his seat, he also covered his face with both hands and released a long, painful whine similar to a dying animal..

"... And the cat is out of the bag." Nighteye muttered, face-palming, while next to him Toshinori showed how he could still puke blood if stressed enough, even after being healed.

"What does he mean by transferred?" Kaminari asked, shocked.

"... Toshinori...?" Aizawa asked, glaring at the man.

"Here we go." Nezu muttered with a sigh.

"Yes?" All Might asked.

"Is your Quirk something you can GIVE to others? You know? Like a giant, colossal, gargantuan Fuck You to the laws of Nature that govern how Quirks work?" The Teacher asked.

"Yes he did! What about it, uh? You got a problem with that, punk?! We all had that Quirk when we were alive before passing it to our chosen candidate!" The former owner of Blackwhip asked with a challenging tone.

"Good God, Daigoro..." Nana uttered in defeat, facepalming while utter bedlam exploded from the My Hero group, with thousands of questions being screamed all at once.

"Enough!" Zebra shouted, making everyone stop. Jiro had covered her eyes, seeing him taking in a lungful of air. "Stop bombarding them with Questions, they'll tell you or the show will."

"Uh... Sorry," Mandele apologized.

"Toshi, you gave my son your...?" Inko asked the man.

"Yeah, he showed himself worthy, not in body, that came later, but in spirit. I gave him an impossible task that I knew he could not achieve, and I saw him give it his all. That paired with his other shows of worthiness, helped me decide."

"Not physically...Is that why you spend all that time in the school gym?" Mic asked.

"Yes!" Izuku squeaked in answer.

"There have been people saying that a scrawny kid like him didn't deserve to be a Hero since he didn't look like somebody hitting a gym often... You can imagine how hard he took it." Nezu added.

Aizawa's eyes narrowed, and glared at All Might. "When did you give him your Quirk...?"

"Uh... The day of the exam," he answered.... And getting a punch to the face.

"You moron! You should have told me that!"

"But I couldn't-"

Aizawa gave him a flat look, anger in his eyes. "You could have told me he was a late bloomer and his Quirk was a stockpile one... That uses energy to amplify his body, and change it into different forms."

All Might looked away, coughing.

"You moron."

"How do you know that?!" All Might asked in horror, it was mere luck they were talking with hushed tones and nobody heard them.

"Shut up. You said a Quirkless Hero was impossible even while having a way to MAKE IT possible all this time?! Good God! WHY?!"

"Listen, the situation is a bit more complex than-"

"What? Did Mirio suck you off in exchange?! Did he sleep with you?! Did he took up his ass or something?!" Izuku said with a hiss.

"I did not sleep with him! WAIT! You even know his name?!" this time Toshinori actually shrieked loud enough everybody turned to look at them.

"For the love of...ARGH! I will go back to my job before I say or do something I will regret! And you should thank GOD I respect my Ingredients so much, or spitting on your plate every time you come here would be the NICEST thing I do to you! Hypocrite! Liar! Betrayer! PIECE OF...No, my mother taught me better than this..." Izuku's angry tirade was legendary, enough to shock the other customers at the rare scene, but the young Chef actually stopped himself before cursing for real, he just gave a strong kick to Toshinori's shin before marching back towards his kitchen and leaving behind the famous Hero All Might crying in pain while nursing his abused leg.

"Okay! Back to square one! He still is unhappy with me!" Toshinori declared to himself with a wince.

"I did not sleep with Mister Toshinori. Ever. Nor with anybody else." Mirio said.

"Dude..." Tamaki said.

"Just making sure we are clear."

"You didn't need to say it..." Nighteye groaned, facepalming.

"Are they always like this?" Tina asked Mic.

Mic shrugged. "Sometimes, they are good, just don't think things through."

"Like you, Mic," Aizawa stated flatly.

"Hey!" Mic shouted.

His second visit to the Restaurant after he confirmed his full recover didn't go as well as he had planned for, and only made it clear that the Universe had stacked the deck against him! And he didn't even had the chance to ask the young Chef the questions Recovery Girl demanded Toshinori to ask! The Pro Hero just KNEW the 'pint sized' Medic will pretty much go ballistic once learned of his failure.

"Did you make him dirty, All Might?" Tsukauchi asked as soon as he and few of his colleagues entered the place to see the Pro Hero in his current predicament.

"Is it that obvious?"

"A bit, but you are still in the clear, you have not been stripped by Whitey, after all." the Detective answered, amused.

"Yeah...Small mercy that..." Toshinori replied in sarcasm while watching the chubby robot peek inside the room to keep things in check and run a thumb along its neck in a threatening manner once it locked eyes with the Pro Hero, although what worried Toshinori the most was seeing the black Lord Dog outside take a glance inside for a moment to send a glare at the Pro Hero.

All Might was in the corner again, feeling like an idiot for what he said.

"That is some bad luck in talking." Teppei said, whistling.

"Booo-ooooh!"

"Teppei-san!" Komatsu yelled.

"Ah! Sorry!"

"Don't be," Aizawa stated. "He sucks at talking normally or being normal."

All Might was even more depressed by hearing this.

"You stuff it Mr. "Kicking out a whole class"." Rin scolded him.

"They need to learn, I go Plus Ultra in that," he stated dryly.

"I forbid you from using those sacred words to justify that!" Toshinori yelled.

"Oh bite me!" Aizawa answered, rolling his eyes.

BANG!

In that moment every noise in the Restaurant died when four burly young men wearing cheap plastic face-masks and armed with crowbars and a gasoline tank barged in.

"Okay, assholes, out! We are here to teach some Useless Quirkless Trash that there is no...Place...For him here..." the Boss of the quartet started barking orders as soon as they all got in, and only THEN finally noticing who exactly was he yelling at while brandishing his crowbar:

Detective Tsukauchi himself is accompanied by four MASSIVE officers in full Police Force attire.

The ninja Pro Hero Edgeshot together with the Pro Hero Ingenium, both with their chopsticks mid-way to their mouth for their very first bite of long-awaited lunch.

The retired and converted to quasi-good Mexican Villain 'El Macho' that had come to visit his daughter, a Hero Student at Ketsubutsu University and already known in the city as 'Miss Pain'. With them there was also Pro Hero 'Miss Joke' acting as a guest in that breakfast meeting between father and daughter to talk about the girl's school results and future Apprenticeship.

A duo of undercover agents from I-Island that were using the excuse of them keeping tabs on Izuku to have some good breakfast. One of which with a Quirk generating lightning from his closed fists and a penchant for testicle-punching.

The Pro Hero Hawks that was standing in a corner waiting for a table to get free.

Momo that had already created a thick police baton with her Quirk and looked ready to start bashing heads.

And last, but not least important: All Might himself.

They all were looking at the Hooligans while slowly getting up from their seats if they were sitting at a table, and all of them were PISSED beyond belief.

"Troublemakers will be stripped as an example to others!" when Whitey too made his appearance from the kitchen flashing red eyes and zero mercy, the hooligans understood they were in trouble.

All the pro heroes' eyes widened at there being villains and vigilantes there as well in Izuku's restaurant.

"Aaah, your Restaurant is a Neutral Zone." Toriko said, tense.

"UH?!" FatGum said.

"Basically, a Restaurant where fighting is prohibited, often used as a meeting point between the Good Guys and the Bad Guys to talk things through. Back in the Dawn of the Gourmet Era, it was a common sight." Coco explained.

Aizawa nodded. "Would make talking to my contacts in the vigilant circles easier, that's for sure."

"And there might be some villains that we can keep an eye on, but not take in," Snipe stated, thinking.

"And some that want to inform heroes of worse villains, enemies of my enemy as they say," Cementos stated.

"Is not like he is not protected either, that Robot seems very good at protecting him." Tsuyu added.

"And he has, like, a God Being watching over him." Mina added.

"And who knows what else later on," Pony added, getting nods from others.

"F***! SCATTER!" At their Leader's order the very scared grunts did the smart thing and bolted out of the restaurant to board the car waiting for them with the engine already warm enough to sprint away at high speed.

"Get them!" one of the Police Officers yelled, but before the group could give chase, Izuku stopped them.

"No need." He said.

"Uh?"

"They are not worthy of you all to abandon your breakfast for. I got Whitey for this sort of bullies."

"But they-"

"Whitey, fetch." Izuku ordered while patting the Robot's soft belly.

"Understood!" the robot answered while the Restaurant door opened by itself.

"Welp, they're doomed," Tamaki stated, feeling bad for them, slightly.

"They had it coming," Hitoshi stated, not sorry for them at all.

"Not to sound negative, but the thing looks a bit too much... Well, let's say thicc, to match the speed of a sports car. That is one of those overly-tuned muscle cars that can uproot asphalt if they accelerate too much." Kyoka said.

"You will soon learn how wrong you are." System answered, unfazed.

"Uh?"

"A Whitey is not made with what you call Technology. Materials, techniques and systems used are not bound by the Laws of Physics. Please observe."

"Their creations are only normal on look, everything else is of Sub-Deity class, once bound by being only a few Levels above the Host they are sent to protect... Then the System simply went "screw it" and pumped the "Whiteys" power beyond any form of decency. Even for us Gods that have a way wider scope of understanding. System is shameless, they simply don't care." Gaia added, sighing.

"Huh... Would be a useful guard in the restaurant.," Komatsu stated.

BANG!

To the present's surprise the chubby robot simply blurred away at insane speed soon followed by the noise of the Sound Barrier being torn to shreds by a speeding body.

"Please return to your breakfast, and as an apology for this inconvenience, the first coffee refill will be on me this time." Izuku offered with a bow and a gentle smile.

"Relax, guys, that robot has everything under control!" The undercover agents from I-Island reassured the others while returning to their table with a knowing smile etched on their faces.

"Oh, yeah! They are screwed."

With Whitey -

WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

The sports car the five guys had rented for their escape was roaring at full throttle as they tried escaping from the fat robot, that instead was rapidly gaining terrain on them while running with heavy, thumping steps.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

"FASTER! FASTER!"

"I AM TRYING!" the driver shrieked in answer, and using all her abilities to take a daring turn so sudden the car went briefly on two wheels before slamming back down on all four to sprint away.

"Whitey is awesome!" Mei shouted, stars in her eyes. "I can't wait to build one!"

Melk chopped her on the head. "I know you're excited, but curb it, remember what I told you."

Mei pouted. "Fine..."

Power Loader looked at Melk and said, "Thank you for teaching her restraint, I've been trying to for months..."

"It's hard, I'll give you that. I need to chop her far too often to keep her grounded, she seems unable to not let her excitement run wild, and I fear she will one day overlook a detail and one of her creations will kill the user and everybody around them."

"I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" Mei yelled, horrified and appalled by that actuation.

"Are you sure? Are you certain 100% that you will never, EVER, make a mistake that will result in a catastrophe? Especially with your work ethics?"

"Uh.... 99% sure at least. Nothing is ever 100%."

"Then maybe the Support Course is not for you, Hatsume."

"Isn't it too harsh?" Toshinori whispered.

"Sssh. I guess they are trying to scare her into being careful instead of jumping from one idea to the other. Don't ruin it," Nighteye answered.

"What but-!" Mei started, shocked.

"Mei, you're a bright girl, yes, but you cause so many explosions, I am this close to expelling you, the only reason I haven't is because Nezu finds your antics funny..." Power Loader informed her.

"I do love to see the fireworks~" Nezu stated, smirking and drinking his tea.

Melk deadpanned. "That explains so much and so little..."

"B-But I have the highest marks in your class..." Mei stated, scared of losing her spot.

"While that is true, again, you cause so much damage at times it counteracts your grading."

Mei held her knees to her face. "I-I'll be good..." she muttered, feeling her pride breaking.

"Hatsume, you just need to slow down, I don't know, 6%. I taught you and the others Security Measures, Safety and all the necessary steps to avoid accidents from happening. You just need to remember my lessons and follow them. They are not extras, they are there to make sure you will one day become the greatest inventor of Support Equipment Humanity has ever seen." Loader said while gently, almost fatherly, rubbing her head. "And if you have an idea, write it down in a secure notebook in a code that only you can read."

"THAT SLOW?!"

"You are by far the fastest in creating, building and testing. Those Prototypes won't run away if you take time to test them out, they will wait for their Mama to finish making them properly."

"O-Okay." Mei answered, sniffing loudly and cleaning her nose on the back of her glove.

BANG!

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" to their horror as soon as the actually turned the corner Whitey was already waiting for them to grab the front of the car and abruptly stop them, with the back wheels of the car spinning in place so fast the tires looked ready to catch fire.

"Troublemakers will be stripped as an example to others!" Whitey declared loudly, thing that made the people around them in the area grow horrified at the strange threat.

"LET US GO!" the Leader of the gang yelled.

"No." was the robot's answer as his grip on the car's front tightened, and with a mighty pull of his big hands, the entire vehicle went torn in half as if made of tissue paper, making the five hooligans fall sitting on the street with bulged-out eyes.

"Beginning Stripping Protocol!" Whitey said once thrown away the two car halves while walking towards the five with heavy steps.

"Fuck off! Knife Hand!" one of the guys said while activating his Quirk and turning his fingers into dagger-long blades.

"Does he really think that would work...?" Melissa asks, sweat-dropping. "The Whitey's body is made of super dense alloy, almost to that of a dwarf star, and that attack wouldn't even scratch the paint." Everyone looked at her in surprise. "What? I was good with technology before, my Technomancer Quirk allows me to understand technology even better now, even if it's fantasy based."

"Fantasy?" Mina asked.

"Technically, it's the closest term I can come up with to describe it." She answered. "As the old saying goes, 'Magic is science we just don't understand.'"

"It's more shocking that you can understand a godly construct without your mind frying," Sanni stated, blinking a few times.

"Having a good imagination helps. Your mind fills the blanks with the closest, easier to understand notions as a self-defense from... Yes, basically have your brain drip out of your ears and nose. That is how Lovecraft could describe Chtuluh without going insane. His mind desperately latched to the details of the old monsters of his imagination to describe it." Gaia answered.

"... and on that note, let's get back to watching..." Vlad stated, wanting to move on.

SLAP! BANG! STRIIIIP!

Unfazed by the incoming attack, Whitey gave a downward slap to the guy that slammed him head-first on the concrete hard enough to knock the jock unconscious instantly, and once sure he was not moving, the robot grabbed the back of the guy's clothes and pulled, tearing those to shreds and letting the unconscious young man still in his boxers fly away and land on the near walkway.

"One down, four remaining."

"STAY AWAY! DEVIL'S LEG!" another said, igniting his leg on fire thanks to his Heat-Controlling Quirk to deliver a flaming spin kick to Whitey's head.

"...Troublemakers will be stripped as an example to others." the plump robot simply took the attack head-on without a scratch or his head moving at all, he just looked at the attacker straight in the eyes, unfazed.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU MADE OF?!" the guy shrieked in Horror, but his only answer was a back-handed slap that knocked him out for Whitey to strip down right after, too bad the guy decided THAT DAY was a good day to go commando.

"Three Troublemakers remaining." Whitey declared once thrown the second fainted hooligan on top of the first.

"Together, brother!"

"Yeah!"

"MAGNETIC TWISTE-GUEH!" before the two twins could actually initiate their combo attack (they both had a Magnetic Quirk, a brother had a Positive Pole, the other a Negative Pole.), Whitey simply opted for flash-stepping in front of them and smash their heads together a couple times until they too fainted. Then he stripped them and threw them on the pile.

"One Troublemaker remaining." he then said as his red eyes landed on the only girl of the group possessing a Quirk making her a Human-Cheetah hybrid.

"BUT I WANTED TO SEE THEIR QUIRKS IN ACTION!" Izuku said with a whine and a kicked puppy look.

"Next time, okay?" Ochako answered, rubbing his back.

"Whitey would make a great sparing partner though..." Kirashima stated. "Can't be easily broken and is safe to go all out on to get our limits. No offense, Sensei." He added that last part by looking at Zebra.

"Are you comparing me to a Toy?!" Zebra roared.

"No, you moron! He just likes you so much he is afraid you will get hurt!"

"What?!"

"In a good way, they don't mean you are a weakling. You can easily kill them just as easily, but they trust you not to... Somehow." Coco answered, rolling his eyes.

"THAT BECAUSE ZEBRA SENSEI IS AWESOME AND MANLY!" Both Tetsutetsu and Kirashima shouted in unison.

"Besides, Zebra Sensei would like Whitey to train with as well," Tetsutetsu stated. "Train his voice to try to match its power. Seeing it as a challenge."

"... And it can't break?" Zebra asked.

"Oh, no..." The Toriko's Group winced as one.

"Yes." System answered.

"Wooooonderful!" Zebra answered with a savage smile that gave shivers to everybody, except Kirishima and Tetsutetsu.

"Those two just had to make him excited..." Sanni groaned.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screaming in terror, the young woman showed her enhanced speed by turning around and running as fast as she could.

"No escape." the robot was unimpressed, and simply pointing his right closed fist at her, the entire arm detached at the elbow and shoot forward like a missile to immediately grab her ankle and start pulling her beck towards Whitey.

"AAAAAAH! NO! NO! PLEASE NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK! I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING! PLEASE! PLEASE! AAAAAAAH!" reduced to a blabbing mess crying in hysteria, the last masked hooligan clawed in despair on the floor as she was rapidly dragged back, gaining her many looks of sympathy as bystanders started begging Whitey to show mercy.

"Troublemakers must be stripped as an example to others." Whitey answered as soon as his arm reconnected and his hand grabbed her by the collar.

"I'LL TALK! I'LL TELL YOU WHO SENT US! OTHERS TOLD US TO DO THIS! I SWEAR I AM INNOCENT! I HAD NO CHOICE!" the young woman begged while crying heavily, snot and tears drenching her face mask.

"...I am Listening." Whitey said after a long pause that almost scared the woman to death, then his eyes turned from red to white and the robot just observed her.

"I will talk...I swear I will talk...I am innocent...They said I would have been kicked-out if I didn't do this." the girl babbled and hiccuped heavily.

"Troublemakers will be taken back to the Restaurant for questioning. Any resistance will be met with extreme prejudice." Whitey declared while moving the girl on his right shoulder and holding the other unconscious men under his left arm.

"Yes!" the woman shrieked in answer.

"They did what!?" all the teachers shouted, anger coming off them.

"Oooh! That's underhanded! At least back home when a Chef wants another to close shop, they duke it out in a cooking duel! They let skills talk, not crooks!" Komatsu said with a disapproving frown.

"Aah, good times! Six hundred challenges in a month to try to close my Restaurant. And I won every time." Setsuno said, chuckling fondly at the memories.

"Yours has always been such a nice record. Mine was three hundred and fifty in a month, then they stopped, unfortunately." Zaus answered, sighing in dismay.

"Dang you two, did you guys ever sleep?" Mt. Lady asked the two.

"Here and there," both stated.

BOOM!

Once again a loud sound blared around the robot as the thing dashed away at high speed to return to Izuku, leaving behind a shocked audience of passerby, one of which a young woman by the name Mei Hatsume that was looking longingly at the robot in badly-restrained need to disassemble it to learn how it worked.

Not too far away a hidden spy of the League of Villains that happened to be in the area to kidnap Tomoko of the Wild Wild Pussycats was instead cursing the robot's existence, because half of the hooligans' car Whitey threw away actually landed on him before he could do the deed and overpower her in that empty hallway, and by the looks the young green-haired woman was throwing at him now that she was free of his hold on her, the lackey just KNEW the car wreckage that smashed his legs will be the least of his worries, especially once seen the furious intent the famous Ragdoll was cracking her knuckles with.

Had someone seen it, the Old School Beat-down the Pro Hero administered on her wanna-be kidnapper would have gone down in history for its raw brutality, unfortunately for the guy nobody saw them, and the lack of witnesses meant Tomoko could go as much heavy-handed as she wanted on the guy while tenderizing him.

All for One won't like to discover that because of Whitey, both the Wild Wild Pussycats and several other Pro Heroes now knew he was interested in capturing Ragdoll.

The Villain was starting to really dislike that accursed Quirkless Chef...

"I am very good at kicking people in the teeth." Ragdoll said, proudly.

"Oh, boo-ooh. Poor All for One got his plans ruined. Boo-ohh." Toshinori said with a mocking tone.

"At least that me knows he's after her Quirk and can take countermeasures," Ragdoll stated, proudly.

"While turning that Villain into a paste." Pixie-Bob answered, and gave her friend a high-five.

While Tomoko was brutalizing the Villain with a brick – Green Cloud Restaurant -

The Customers were indeed surprised to see Whitey return just a couple minutes after his departure while carrying the unconscious hooligans like sacks of potatoes the robot just threw on the floor once inside.

"Troublemakers captured. The female one is willing to talk." the robot explained.

"Really? Okay, then. Why did you try to destroy this place? Let's hear." Tsukauchi asked while he and his colleagues cuffed them all.

"Yamato! Rector Yamato sent us! She said that if we didn't smash this place and forced the Chef to stop cooking she would have failed us all! I swear! She sent us! The others did it for fun because he is just a Quirkless, but I had no other choice! I am in Inoshiki Academy with a scholarship, I need that to keep studying!" the young woman said immediately while eyeing Whitey in fear.

"No lies detected." Whitey informed the Detective.

"The Rector of Inoshiki Academy..." Izuku muttered with a cold tone.

"Yes, I can tell she is not lying." Tsukauchi answered.

"The Rector is called Yamato Kurogawa if I am not mistaken," one of the Officers said.

"Why did she want this place gone?" Miss Joke asked, confused.

"Because I scared her precious friend Samui with my skills during a small cooking competition they both were in as Judges..." Izuku answered, and many of the present felt a chill crawl up their spines at the absolute lack of humanity in the Chef's voice.

"First they tried burning down my Restaurant, then to contaminate the water, then they tried sending cockroaches and rats and THEN they bribed Health Inspectors and Food Critics to force me to close!" the young Chef hissed while pulling away her mask so as to better glare at the young woman.

"I think they just unleashed the beast," Snipe stated.

"About time!" Katsuki answered, laughing.

"They'll learn not to mess with the King of Chefs," Zaus stated, smirking.

"Oh, big time," Teppei agreed.

"Grrrr!"

When the Appetite Demon appeared behind him to growl at the cheetah girl, Izuku's glare grew tenfold in intensity, soon making her pale to unhealthy levels.

"Do you have proofs of all that?" Tsukauchi asked, tense, and ready to intervene should things escalate between the two.

"Of course I don't, I don't need to tell you that they were smart enough to not leave behind anything leading back to them,"

"No, it's very likely they covered their traces, and even should SHE confess, they will probably throw her under the bus and say she was just trying to blame them to save herself." the Detective answered, sighing.

"Host is rightfully furious for this new attack. It is time to move on the offensive and teach the Enemy the True Horror of the future God of Cooking of the Hero World and his rage!

______________________________________________________________________________

Abrupt Mission:

Challenge the 5 best students of Inoshiki Academy in a cooking Contest and defeat them.

Challenge the 4 Best Teachers of Inoshiki Academy and its Rector in a Cooking Contest and defeat them.

Reward: 10% Bonus on Experience points and 1 Fragment of the God of Cooking Set.

Special Reward for completing 5 Cooking Challenges in a single day: Time-Elapsing Cabinet.

______________________________________________________________________________

Everything put in that cabinet to marinate, decanter, ferment or freeze will do so at an accelerated rate up to one hundred times faster.

You have 1 month to complete the Mission, work hard and destroy your competition, Young Man!" The System instructed as soon as Izuku's anger reached the peak, and the fanged smile that almost split his face in two actually made the bound cheetah girl pee herself, if one watched the big wet spot that appeared on the front of her pants.

"Even if the rewards were not a good incentive," Tina started, getting nods from the cooks, hunters and Melk, "They've just finally gone too far by using an innocent girl to do their dirty work and would expel her just to save face."

"Yep, they just declared war on the wrong kid," Gran stated, smiling and wanting to see the ass kicking this Izuku will bring.

"It's a matter of Chef's pride. This is not a joking matter, they slapped him, figuratively, now he has to slap them back." Setsuno said, sighing.

"And I believe that me will likely do just that." Izuku said, sighing.

"I don't blame him," Momo stated.

"Very well. If they want War, I will give them War...You are a student of Inoshiki Academy, yes?" he asked.

"Y-Y-YESSIR!" the young woman replied, nodding as fast as her neck could let her.

"Good. I want you to go back and give a message to your rector Yamato Kurogawa: in exactly seven days I will pay your University a visit. I want to challenge your 5 Best Students and the 5 Best Teachers, one of which Yamato herself, to a Cooking Duel. IF they win I will close my Restaurant forever, but if I win, they will leave me alone and stop bothering me. Can you do this for me?" Izuku asked.

"Y-Yes! But I-I don't know if they will accept!"

"It's either that or him taking this to court, I too will personally vouch for him in court if he needs," Toshinori tried saying, clearly disappointed in such Villainous tactics being used.

"All of the present will testify as well!" Miss Joke added, arms crossed and frown on her face, many around the room nodded as well.

"O-Okay." the cheetah girl said, weakly, while being helped to stand thanks to Tsukauchi pulling on her arm.

"Very good, while my colleagues take your friends to jail for attempted acts of vandalism and assault, me and you will go deliver this fancy little challenge, THEN you will join them, okay?" the Detective said.

"Yes, sir...I-I am sorry." she answered, crying once again.

"At least the girl is apologizing," Juzo stated. "She knows what she did is wrong, but she didn't have much choice in the matter."

"I can accept that just because she clearly was not relishing in it, contrary to the others." Itsuka answered, scoffing.

"Maybe she'll get a job with that Izuku later on," Mirio stated, smiling. "She should have someone that gives her respect and helps her."

"Who knows, with her Quirk, she could run fast enough to deliver my orders," Izuku thought about it. With her cheetah Quirk, she could run up to 50 to 80 mph, or 80 to 128 kph. "She could run as fast as any car on her own."

"Not bad, yes she would make a fine delivery girl," Iida stated, knowing how fast the cheetah could go as well.

Sigh! "We'll be gentle in your case, since they forced you to be the driver for this idiotic farce, let's go." he answered with a sigh of dismay while he and the other agents, begrudgingly, left the Restaurant after barely having had enough time to actually drink their coffee.

While this happened, the two undercover agents sent a message to I-Island telling them what happened to one of their 'Darlings' and about the Cooking Challenge, this in turn angered the Old Man enough he himself made a couple phone calls to make sure those guys DID accept the Challenge and took it seriously.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Inoshiki is one of the premiere schools for Chefs, you told me so yourself." Momo asked, worried.

"This is the last chance for them to close this feud they have against me in a civilized manner, after this, I will either send Whitey or Blackie to deal with them, depending on how hard they spit on my offer of peace." Izuku answered, sighing.

"Blackie?" the young woman muttered while stealing a glance at the Lord Dog sleeping outside.

"Wouldn't that mean sending a nuke towards them?" she asked in dread.

"As a last resort, I am no bully. I just want them to leave me alone, but they keep pushing and threatening me. I am just returning the favor." he answered with a tiny smile.

"Just don't overdo it, okay?"

"I won't, Momo."

"That's a lie and you know it, problem child," Aizawa stated, flatly.

"I'm not that bad-" Zaus cut him off.

"I've seen your memories, and yes, you do overdo it," he told him.

"That 1 VS 60 Challenge I made was just a misunderstanding."

"You closed all 60 Restaurants!"

"But I then took them in as part of the Staff of one of mine!"

"... I can see now why he's your reincarnation..." Aizawa stated flatly at the old chef.

Thunk!

It was then that Whitey walked inside the kitchen and brought out a big squared wooden cabinet made in lacquered dark reddish wood giving-off a faint and pleasant flowery smell, the thing was decorated with cloud carvings and hinges and corner covers were made in shining bronze.

"Host please collect a knife from each Chef defeated and put it here, as a reminder of your Skills." Whitey repeated the System's words while opening both doors of the thing to show the various empty hooks inside.

"Taking Trophies may be a bit too harsh though." Toshinori commented, unsure.

"It is not my fault if we came to this, I am just taking a knife with their names written on it as a reminder of my victory, as a way for me to feel pride for my skills, they will still be able to study and all, I am not crippling them." Izuku answered while caressing the thing.

"Okay, I will do it." he then said aloud, who heard him thought he was accepting the cabinet suggestion, in reality the young Chef was accepting the abrupt Mission of the System.

"Understood." Whitey said before taking the wooden cabinet and mounting it on the wall next to the small window connecting kitchen to Main Hall, it was still empty, but many wondered how many knives will one day fill it since there were a lot of knife-holding hooks ready to be used.

After that, the Customers present that had already eaten left so that others could fill the Main room of the Green Cloud Restaurant and have their breakfast, and among the ones leaving, many were already telling their friends what had happened, and those friends told their friends, who told their friends and so on, soon spreading the rumor of a lone Chef moving a personal crusade against his enemies.

"Those Arrogant Bastards have it coming," Zebra stated, eatting. He did not care if they were humbled by Izuku, they had it coming.

"As crude as that remark is, I have to agree," Sanni stated, not finding it elegant what they do.

"So we are about to watch Midoriya attack an entire school for Chef?" Mina asked.

"You make it sound like a cheap Manga Plot... But yes." Tsuyu answered, chuckling.

"He is alone against their greatest students and Teachers! Oui! So dashing!" Aoyama said, sparkling in excitement.

"Manly!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu said in chorus, before laughing.

"This sounds kind of interesting." Iida admitted.

"..." Lunch Rush just leaned forward, ready to take notes of everything, all for Nezu amusement, and a bit of his own.

"Can't wait to try Izuku's cooking again," Mirko stated, smiling.

"Izuku, uh?" Rin said, smirking.

"I mean Midoriya..."

"Suure!"

"SHUT UP!"

A Week Later – Inoshiki Academy – Main Cooking Classroom -

The Rector of the private university for aspiring Chefs, Yamato Kugogawa, was a middle-aged woman in her sixties with her hair in a very strict chignon and wearing her old Chef Attire with the utmost pride, the thing was also still sporting the three Stars she had added to the small pocket over her heart when in her youth she had gained the third Michelin Star for her personal Restaurant, nowadays owned and directed by her son himself, he too present to help her face Izuku's challenge.

The Woman was now marching between the seats of the full kitchen/class and admiring the twenty students there, especially the five that were placed in the first row and puffing their chest out I pride.

"I won't sugar-coat it. The guy that challenged our School's pride is a Monster, somebody with unnatural cooking talent that popped-out from the woodwork like the Nightmare he is. He openly challenged our 5 Kings and our 4 best Teachers, and myself, to a cooking showdown." the woman said before walking back towards her desk to look in the eyes the students in front of her.

"Normally I would have laughed at this preposterous Challenge, especially so since he is also a Quirkless, but other than astounding Talent, the little bastard has powerful Friends backing him too, and after an incident where four of our EX Students forced a fifth to act as their driver while they went to Punish him for some inane reason, we risk being dragged to court for a case of Assault that will simply destroy us if we don't go along and accept this Challenge of his." she then said, barely hiding her anger at remembering how the MORONS she sent on such a simple Mission to scare a Quirkless had failed so hard ALL MIGHT of all people was ready to intervene in what could be the greatest PR nightmare she had ever seen, second only to when those Paparazzi caught her father basking a still-alive turkey with his dick, that had been a nightmare and a half to cover.

"Why us?" one of the five best students of Inoshiki (the 5 Kings) asked.

"Because those idiots tried saying WE sent them to demolish the Restaurant and beat the stuffing out of that boy, and since I DO have a past with that Chef, due to common acquaintances, it wouldn't be hard for him to twist things in a way that makes ALL OF US look like the Villains, and that means both Students and Teachers will have their reputation tarnished forever, and I will be caught dead before that happens!" she answered, and the class gave a loud roar of appreciation to her words.

"I hope she gets beaten, badly,": Rumi stated, wanting to kick the woman in the face.

"First she sends some crooks to do her dirty work, then plays the victim. Good God I am finding this annoying." Nemuri muttered, wincing and face-palming.

"She is acting on the orders of/in the name of her friendship with that Samui man. We can't expect her to act with reason." Nighteye answered while adjusting his glasses.

"She still needs a beating," Zebra stated, flatly.

"A beating may be a bit too much... A very humiliating defeat in a cooking duel, though..." Mic answered.

"I can be down with that." Toshinori admitted.

"You are biased." Aizawa said.

"Yes, I am. And I don't care."

"Hn. fair enough." Aizawa answered, with a very tiny snort.

"Good to see you all motivated! This is what we will do. We accepted the Challenge and will play nice while following the rules we both agreed on: he and us will use the same Ingredients and the same appliances to cook and the best Dish and Chef wins, simple as that.

There is a catch: if HE wins, he will take one of your knives as a trophy and pretend to the loser to write their name on the blade as a reminder, but if he loses, he will actually close his Restaurant forever. We only need ONE of you to win to defeat him, so do your best!" the old woman instructed.

"We'll destroy him, Madame!" the girl ranked number 1 of the 5 Kings answered immediately.

"I hope so. Now, head count, Kings!" Yamato's son gave a barking order.

"Number 5: Meat King! Toshio, present!" a chubby boy with fiery red hair said while stepping forward.

"Number 4: Fish King! Sadao, present!" a lean girl with long lime-green hair walked forward next, eyes narrowed into slits.

"Number 3: Dessert King! Michiko, present!" A short girl with blotchy cheeks and a dozen purple tentacles for hair said right after while adjusting her thick glasses.

"Number 2: Vegetable King! Takeo, present!" an extremely tall young man with broad shoulders and muscled body answered next, his voice loud like thunder. Many girls in the class swoon HARD once heard him, as always whenever he talked.

"Number 1: Soup King! Mako, present!" the last one was a tall girl of incomparable beauty, white hair and grey eyes able to freeze the blood of whoever she looked at, she was just a beautiful as she was cold and merciless. This time it was the male half of the class to simp loudly for her.

"They don't seem all that impressive," Sanni stated, not looking impressed.

"You are thinking of Fighting Power. You need to consider Cooking Talent. Look at Komatsu-san, he looks very frail compared to all of you, but he is the Chef among your group, he is just specialized on another set of skills." Nezu answered.

"Precisely. They are called the Five Kings, and I guess that means they are the five best students among all of them." Coco added, nodding.

"True, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt," Sanni stated.

"You all trained and studied extra hard this seven days, do not disappoint me." Yamato ordered with a low voice.

"Never, Madame!" the five students replied as one.

"Attention please! All students be advised...He is here." a young voice was heard saying gravely from the speakers inside the classroom, just like from every other speaker around the University, and that message caused a deep silence to befall on the entire campus.

"Tell Professor Kuroi to bring him here, it's time to start." Yamato asked her son with a tense tone.

"I'll do it, and I will also alert the Teachers you have chosen and tell them to be ready, just in case." the young man answered before hurrying out.

"Thank you. You others, take position and take this Challenge seriously, treat it like a fight with your Life on the line."

"Of course, madame." the 5 Kings answered as one.

"He is here, as if I was the Devil." Izuku muttered, pouting.

"You are not the devil, you are far too pure." Ibara answered, making many eyes roll at her very expected answer.

"Well they are making you look like the aggressor, the bad guy, so to speak," Coco stated.

"She needs to; never admit fault. She threw those guys under the bus too. She has to protect the image of herself and her school. So if she is the Good Guy in her story, you have to be the Villain then." Katsuki said, groaning.

"I think she'll show her true colors when we see the match though," Rin stated.

University Entrance -

Izuku was looking at the wide and opulent entrance garden leading to the majestic gate of the building proper, and declaring whoever built the place to be an avid Rom-Com Manga reader, because the entire path towards the entrance had at both sides two long rows of giant cherry trees, meaning that during the right season pink petals would fall everywhere around the students in a very cliché way during their entire walk to the entrance.

"Now I understand what the Main Character of a 90s Manga feels like...Should I run through it with a toast dangling from my mouth, I wonder?" Sigh! "Let's go, Whitey."

Giving a gentle pat on the robot's soft belly behind him, Whitey was also carrying on his back the wooden knife cabinet, Izuku lightly slapped his own cheeks and marched forward towards the lanky man in expensive suit waiting for him.

"Midoriya?" the man said as soon as the young Chef reached him.

"Uh-hu."

"Follow me." the teacher answered before walking away with a brisk pace.

"Eagle 1, I have a clear view of Subject 37. I will follow him from outside, over." A small drone also followed the duo from outside thanks to the ample windows in the corridors.

"... Why do I get Food Wars vibes from all of this?" Kinoko asked the others.

"Food Wars?" Toruiko asked.

"It's a Manga/Anime series in our world," Pony told him.

"A Shonen about cooking, a bit too much fan service though." Setsuna added.

"Good food ideas in it though," Pony added.

Inside -

"Mimic 3, I see them. They are going to Classroom 7, over." the guy pretending to be one of the janitors said to the hidden microphone inside the broom in his hands.

"Understood. Here is Minimize, I will shrink myself to ant size and enter the room. I will record everything but go radio silent. Over." another spy of I-Island answered with a nod before activating his Quirk and shrinking down to the size of an ant to pass under the door and spy on Izuku's challenge.

"Attention to all posts, be ready for forceful extraction should those Morons try anything. Over." the Old Man guiding the operation ordered.

"Yessir!"

"Geez, these I-Island guys will do anything to make sure these Darlings are safe," Tina stated, sweat-dropping.

"You don't know the half of it..." Mic groaned.

"The Darling Program, I heard, is something they invest a lot of resources on. So I am not surprised they put that much effort on Midoriya. They do seem awfully interested in not losing anything, and a special occasion such as his Battle against Inoshiki Academy is a perfect occasion to gain a lot of new data." Nezu said.

"I see," Tina said.

Inside the classroom -

"Miss Rei, your friend just entered, what do I do?" one of the girls in the back stealthily wrote on her phone as soon as Izuku got in.

"Keep an eye on Icchan for me, and send me a call should things go south. Me and your mother will come to recover him and you in a matter of minutes, so just buy us time in case of an emergency." Rei Yaoyorozu texted back.

"Ok." the girl replied, rapidly hiding her phone before anybody could catch her.

"Good evening," Izuku said with a formal bow towards the old woman.

"Good Evening. This Challenge was a bit of a show of strength, and not a very refined one." Yamato said with a cold tone.

"There was no other choice, you and your little friends glued your derrieres on top of a pedestal and started attacking me as soon as your poor friend Samui got scared of competition. If good manners don't work, I will use strength. I won't be bullied." He whispered while presenting his hand to her.

"Listen here, you little upstart sh-EEEK!" making the mistake of shaking his hand, the old woman felt a hydraulic press threaten to turn her bones to dust when his hand almost squashed hers to stop her cussing, although the merciless light in his eyes came right after to silence her subtle shriek as well. No Human should have those eyes.

"First your students, then your teachers, then you. You caused this, not me." he answered before walking towards his own cooking station to check it.

"No tampering has been detected, Host Izuku. You can give your all." the System informed him while Whitey swept the room with red eyes and then settling in a corner of the room to observe everything.

"Inadvisable." Teppei and the Knocking Master said.

"Uh?" The others asked.

"Eeeh... Setsuno-chan and Zaus-chan are Technically Legally forbidden to go "All Out"." The Knocking Master said.

"Why?" Toru asked.

"They overreact." Setsuno said with a childish pout.

"Whenever those two go all-out, their Adversaries are crushed so badly they swear off cooking. So The Gourmet Association, the IGO, "Gently" asked them to go easy on whoever challenges them. Unless they face each other." Teppei explained.

"Sounds like you two go too far sometimes when it comes to cooking," Inko stated, getting a laugh from Setsuno and a sheepish smile from Zaus.

"To be fair, they are called The Living National Treasure and The King of Chefs for a reason. Those names are not just a fancy label." Komatsu answered with an uneasy smile.

"Whenever you want, I am ready." Izuku said while tying a green bandanna on his head.

"You'll have to work your way up, kiddo! But while I may be the fifth, I am still WAY beyond you in abilities!" the Fifth King, Meat King Toshio, said with a sneer shaking his flabby cheeks heavily as he took position on the cooking station at the opposite side of Izuku.

The rest of the classroom moved away to give the two all the space they needed while the other Kings sat on chairs right in front of them to observe, Yamato and her son did the same right after.

"As the very first Challenge of Midoriya Izuku VS the 5 Kings, we prepared something special for this first round..." Yamato said with a malicious smile as her son brought along a tray covered by a pure-white cloth with Inoshiki's Insignia embroidered on it.

'You will regret leaving the choice of Ingredients to us, boy! I WILL DESTROY YOU! NO QUIRKLESS UPSTART SHALL PUT MY GRANDFATHER'S INOSHIKI ACADEMY TO SHAME!' The old woman mentally roared as her soul momentarily turned putrid black.

"This will be your Ingredient: Bear Meat." Yamato's son, Minato, declared while uncovering several amazing cuts of marvelous meat neatly disposed and divided into groups following the type of cut.

"WOOOOOW!" the class as one gave a loud scream of awe.

"Look at that meat's marbling!" a young man said in reverential awe while committing to memory every delicate line of fat adorning the meat.

"That luster! How can raw meat shine like a jewel!?" a girl said right after, sounding almost ready to cry at the innate beauty of the thing.

"That is truly the peak of what Bear Meat can be!" a third said, awed.

"Okay, I will say, that is quality bear," Komatsu stated.

"I am surprised, they spared no expenses for this challenge." Lunch Rush said, humming.

"They want to beat me, I guess they are ready to try everything to do that." Izuku answered.

"I wonder what that you will make." Momo said, curious.

"I hope it's not too bad," Aizawa muttered to himself.

"Analysis...Meat quality: Passable. Does the Host wish the System to switch it with the Berserker Bear Meat Host collected in the Jungle World? Host can also use Jewel Meat if he so wishes." the System declared in a tone of almost contempt instead of monotonous.

"As expected from an Entity as Merciless as the System, your standards are WAY TOO HIGH. No need, Jewel Meat or those bears would be like going to a gunfight armed with a Nuke. I will fight them equally, no need to Cheat with them." Izuku thought in answer while checking the meat himself.

"...You bled, carved and Processed this quite well. Two different people did it, though. The belly meat has been carved with a different technique than the other cuts." Izuku said after a couple minutes, making Yamato and Minato's eyebrows shot high in surprise.

"Indeed...You have some good eyes." Minato admitted, impressed.

"And you have bad knives, this cut on the belly meat is two millimeters off. As far as I am concerned, this meat is unusable, if not completely ruined. I will use the paws." Izuku countered, displeased, while taking the skinned paws of the bear and returning to his station.

They wanted to play the Prissy Game? Then they will face a Master! He used to be the King of Chefs as Zaus! He used to have a net-worth of Billions with thousands of Restaurants under his direct control, he had STANDARDS he could be annoying about if he so wished! Especially when he and Setsuno used to go into 'Pissing Contests' when younger and purposely finding every tiny chance to criticize the other's dish as a form of friendly rivalry, he still remembered how to be annoyingly picky on purpose!

"Why you..." Yamato hissed between clenched teeth, happy to be secretly streaming the Challenge for thousands to see him fail!

"You are insulting Meat, you Quirkless bastard!" Toshio growled while taking his own selection of bear meat and preparing some frying oil together with batter.

"No. You insulted it by using the bear paws as mere Decoration to demonstrate what Animal this was. They have barely bled, and who skinned them did so just to not make them Unpleasant to look at by leaving the fur on them only. The paws are the PRIDE of a Bear, and you ruined them just to appease your Ego. So I will make sure this poor bear will have her revenge by using her ruined paws to 'Slaughter' that Ego of yours." Izuku answered with sharp eyes.

"You...You know it's a female?" Yamato asked.

"I am a Chef, Yamato-san. I honor Ingredients every time I put them on the chopping board! I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their sacrifice and always make sure their Taste it's worthy of such sacrifice! THAT is a true Chef to me." he answered, and a few for an instant thought the paws in front of him gained just a bit more luster at his words.

"Very well said, Izuku-chan!" Setsuno said with a proud smile.

"He has inherited the spirit of a great Chef, I am glad he is holding up my mantle." Zaus added, laughing.

"Yes, he has a good head on him," the Knocking Master stated.

Izuku was blushing from all the encouragement.

Mirio slapped him on the back. "Looks like you're doing great, Midoriya~!"

"T-Thanks~"

"Deku is so cool," Kota stated in a whisper.

Unknown to them, Izuku could still hear The Voice of Ingredients, and the paws' feeling of gratitude boosted his morale to high levels; many also laughed at his bold claim, except for the Kings number 2 and 1 that instead seemed to appreciate his words, somehow.

"We'll see if you are as good at cooking than at talking! LET'S GO!" Toshio roared as he slammed a meat-grinder on his workstation and started grinding roast, back ribs and Round bear meat together into a rough mix.

"Of course." Izuku answered while studying the paws and delicately adjusting the meat smoothness ruined by the improper skinning with a few feather-light cuts of his knife, then gently removing the small claws and setting them aside as a lucky charm of sorts.

To be fair, it was not exactly carelessness or unwillingness the cause of the paws bad shape, most Chefs simply preferred not to use the paws due to the high ratio of tough muscles in them compared to the rest of the body, so while a bit tasty in itself as an Ingredient, whoever prepared the meat thought that in a challenge between kids nobody would have dared to use the paws, so a light-hearted job was done because of it, for the sake of appearances.

Sniff! Sniff! "Yes, this will suffice, the bouquet is good enough." Izuku said while positioning both paws into a pot and fully covering them in white wine to remove the faint traces of unpleasant smell still clinging to the meat after its incomplete treatment.

The other contestant, instead...

"Five-Flavor Berries Essence, Japanese Sake, diced Onion and just a pinch of salt...And the unpleasant smell of Bear becomes heavenly delicious!" the Meat King was heard muttering with a low, ominous voice as he grounded the meat again once mixed those ingredients with it, his smile unpleasant and creepy as a droll faintly flowed down his double chin.

"Whitey." the class heard Izuku say.

"Host?"

"Bring me these herbs and this honey from that cabinet. I would prefer to not leave my workstation unsupervised." he asked, once jutted a rapid list on a piece of paper.

"Understood." the Robot answered while walking towards the Ingredients cabinet Yamato furnished for this challenge.

"Never leave your workstation unsupervised while in enemy territory. Good." Aizawa said, nodding in approval.

"Yes, even if your challenger is honorable, it doesn't mean that others won't try to sabotage your work to make the one they want to win," Coco nodded in agreement.

"He is in enemy territory," Monoma stated.

"Still surprised you're rooting for him," Yosetsu teased him.

"Yes, yes, laugh it up," Monoma stated, rolling his eyes.

"There is no need to fear, we won't need to Cheat to win this." Mako, King number 1, answered, sneering.

"Forgive me if I do not trust you, but I am still in enemy territory, caution is essential." he answered while returning the stare with interest.

"Host, here are the Ingredients." Whitey in the meantime had returned with the spices and herbs and the honey the young man asked for.

"Good! They will help me prepare a good stock!" Izuku answered, happily, and soon filled the room in the aromatic scent of the stock he prepared with those and left to boil at low flame.

"Afraid of the Bear Meat aroma?" Toshio asked with a savage smile.

"Hn?"

"Let me tell you a secret: Bear Meat is my favourite Ingredient! There is not a single thing I don't know about it! I already cooked it in every possible way! I dare say that I have eaten enough bear meat to put the species at risk!" the fat boy said while collecting a thick broth-like sauce made with the bear meat itself and adding it to the ground meat, fearlessly adding MORE of the innate wild flavor of the Bear meat to the already flavorful mixture he just created.

"...Not surprising, really." Izuku admitted while recovering the bear paws from their wine bath to lightly coat them in honey and then submerge them in the bubbling stock.

"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!" the young man shrieked with bloodshot eyes.

"WHAT!? NO! I meant that of course they would choose an Ingredient you are most suitable with to try and get an easy win! I would never insult somebody for their looks!" Izuku answered, appalled, and actually looked hurt at the insinuation.

"Oh...Okay. No offense taken then." the Meat King replied, immediately calming down.

"Yeah, Midori-bro doesn't make fun of others," Kirashima stated.

"Yeah, he's a really nice guy," Tetsutetsu agreed.

"Even while not knowing me, that was a very not nice thing to think." Izuku muttered, pouting.

"Well they only have what the HeadMistress of the school has told them, so he wouldn't know," Tina reminded them.

"She does have a point," Melk agreed, nodding.

Everyone sweatdropped remembering that.

While this small exchange happened, the fat boy had prepared the side sauce for the hamburger patties of highly aromatic bear meat he had knelt by hand, and as soon as the oil in his pan started sizzling, he started frying, soon engulfing the room into an explosion of meaty aroma, but even if the people present felt like they were choking, the scent was still amazing.

"Do you feel it now, you little pest?! The pressure of my Students?! Of the KINGS I personally nurtured?!" Yamato thought maliciously while looking at Izuku in hope to see him despair...And finding him utterly uninterested instead, too taken by his own cooking to even notice what was happening around him.

"...Hn, not bad." That was all the comment she heard him give at the aroma, and even that seemed half-hearted at best.

"I FUCKING HATE YOU!" the old woman roared inside her head while looking ready to spit venom everywhere.

"Your hamburgers are ready." Izuku actually said aloud a couple minutes later, he hadn't been looking at Toshio at all, he just took a sudden sniff to the scent in the air and gave his verdict.

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, YOU BLOODHOUND!" the Meat King roared in answer, only to notice his hamburgers were indeed ready, and taking them out of the oil immediately with a surprised expression.

"By frying I have concentrated and strengthened the Bear aroma even more! A razor-edge between Deliciousness and Ruin! You can't get closer than this!" he declared once finished preparing his dish.

The big fried hamburger steak glistened in the room's light thanks to the thick fatty oils gently flowing down from its top, releasing an intense and thick aroma every time Toshio moved it while dividing it into portions for the judges and Izuku himself.

"Amazing! He used Bear meat in a way that produced such intense aroma without a single iota of stink! HOW?!" a girl asked in shock.

"He is the Meat King! What the hell did you expect?!" another student answered.

"Mincemeat Katsu! With meat straight from the bear's bones! The most intense bear flavour humanity has ever seen!" Toshio declared, boldly.

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nhk.or.jp%2Fdwc%2Fparts%2Fimg%2Frecipe%2F103%2Fph_main.jpg&f=1&nofb=1

"I will say, his dish does look okay," Toriko stated.

"Preparation was made very well too, for a student of a cooking school without Gourmet Cells, he shows a lot of potential," Tina admitted.

"Not perfect, but very good, yes." Komatsu confirmed.

"Yes, indeed you are correct," Lunch Rush nodded in agreement.

"He does have talent, that's for sure," Komatysu stated.

"We will proceed with the tasting then." Yamato declared once she, her son Minato and the other Kings all got a plate.

"Bit of an unfair Judging group." Izuku admitted, sighing.

"I don't know what is the history between our Rector and you, but I do have a sense of Pride as a Chef. If Toshio made an inferior dish he would lose, if he made a better dish he would win. School Pride has nothing to do with this." King 2, Takeo, answered. And again his female classmates simped HARD for him.

"Same here. If he loses, it will mean he is just unfit to be a King. No need to Cheat and save a Loser. I do have my dignity." Mako, King 1, chorused as well, and both Kings skillfully ignored the hateful glare Yamato stealthily sent them.

"That's a bit too harsh." Izuku answered, sighing, while trying the piece of hamburger steak Toshio prepared and growing pleasantly surprised.

"Sour. Bitter. Sweet. Spices. And Salt. Only somebody truly knowing every facet of the taste of Bear Meat can achieve such a result and turn the stink of a beast into a gourmet delicacy!" Yamato declared once tasted the thing. She was too pleased to the core.

"Good control of the flame and oil's temperature, the meat has been cooked just right to make it tender and flavourful. Impressive for somebody so young." Minato added, his narrowed eyes were also studying the cross-section of the meat created by his bite AND the knife that cut through it.

"Thank you, Mister Minato." Toshio replied while puffing-out his chest.

"Too greasy, though. There is oil everywhere." The boy's sails went then immediately deprived of wind by Mako's words right after as she scrunched her nose a bit at the overflowing of oil when she tried squeezing the meat.

"That is part of the dish! At each bite the meat juices and the oil mix together with the meat to create a soup-like fee-"

"Do NOT talk about soup with me, PIG!" the king Number 1 interrupted him with a glare, silencing him.

"WOOOO! Calm down, woman! He's your classmate!" Sero said, appalled.

"That girl must be a nightmare to have in the same class." Mezo muttered, shaking his head in disapproval.

"Honestly, that is not how somebody should treat a fellow student!" Iida added, disappointed.

"Tch! Frosty bitch." Mina and Pony said at the same time, before chuckling at the unplanned chorus.

"Brat needs to be taught a lesson, she's too damn cocky," Zebra stated, growling.

"That is the result of her parents not administering enough discipline when raising her." Coco said, frowning.

"That or the school praising her to be that way," Gaia added in.

"True," Coco agreed.

"I feel like that was a diss at me..." Katsuki muttered, secretly appreciating Izuku's encouraging smile.

"This is at best a good dish for some barely-decent Fast Food Restaurant! Good for nothing beside clogging arteries and satisfying fatty losers! You ground some meat and fried it, big deal! Now be quiet and enjoy your win, IF you win. Since that other idiot at least used more complex techniques compared to yours." The young woman's tirade was frosty-cold, probably thanks to her own Quirk since the temperature around her DID turn colder the longer she spoke.

"Sorry, Miss Mako..." Toshio muttered while looking down, chastised.

"High-Strung, maybe?" Izuku thought, surprised by the outburst.

"The Girl's Quirk generates cold by absorbing inside herself the warmth around her, as a side-effect her self-control slips and she is victim of a burst of Anger once enough Heat is stored. One can say she 'Overheats Herself' to turn everything else around her cold." the System explained, and the young Chef could only look at the girl in amazement, and just a bit of pity. That side-effect gave him a good inkling as to why she didn't try to become a Hero even with such an amazing Quirk.

"I like it, instead." Izuku declared.

"Uh?"

"Yes, it's greasy. Yes, it is not a fancy dish, but I can see friends share some good moments while eating this! The taste is very strong, in a good way, and the garlic and berries counterbalance well the gamey aroma still in the meat. This is very good. As you said, every bite is a bomb of flavour that makes me crave for more, good job!" he explained while happily eating his own portion.

"...Thank you, but I don't need your pity." Toshio muttered, bitterly, yet thankful all the same.

"This is a good start for this Challenge, now finish your plate so we will be able to choose the winner." Minato asked once every plate was eaten clean, except Mako that left her half-full to keep her point.

"Almost ready." the young Chef answered.

Once satisfied with the first boiling, Izuku took out the bear paws and put them aside to clean the wok and refill it with clean water and a new batch of diced herbs and spices, all the while the bear paws kept letting out thin steam lines carrying meaty fragrance with a touch of gamey undertone, just enough to entice the appetite without resulting unpleasant.

"Man that smells good," Shihai stated.

"Yes, it does," Toriko agreed.

"Oh! Hong Shao Rou!" Komatsu said, impressed.

"...Gesundheit?" Monoma said/questioned.

"Ah, no. Sorry. That's the name of the recipe. Or at least the name of the Original Recipe he is using as a base. Hong Shao Rou, from the chinese: Red Braised Pork Belly. Only with minor changes and Near meat." He explained, chuckling.

"Ah, I see."

The young Chef repeated the boiling another two times at always shorter length and changed herbs and spices used at each new boiling, slowly letting their flavor deep inside the meat.

Washed the wok a third time, oil was finally used to rapidly fry herbs and berries before the paws went added to the wok he then left to simmer in peace.

The fragrance still had a hint of a gamey smell but now any trace of stink had been fully removed, leaving behind only the pleasant smell of such unique meat cooking slowly, and whenever Izuku gave a toss to the wok to turn the paws in it around, many female students could not help but be entranced by the young man's serious expression and the glittering of his eyes while he admired his work.

Unknown to him both in the class and in the livestream he was very slowly gaining the attention of the onlookers, all for the chagrin of Momo that saw the comments in the same livestream she found thanks to her mother, and she didn't like it one bit to see more girls showing interest in him.

After boiling and simmering the bear paws, the meat had become extremely soft and tender while retaining a faint trace of its old marbling, the two things looked extremely delicate and beautiful like a replica made in precious stone.

Retrieving a huge and round porcelain plate, the tender bear paws were then placed into the center and decorated by a thin layer of minced aromatic herbs, and once put aside some of the meat juices remaining from the simmering, the wok went rapidly washed and cleaned a last time to prepare a thick gravy to which the tiny portion of the sauce from the simmered paws went added once almost ready, then the ruddy sauce went gently drizzled on top of the meat producing a wave of aroma and gently enveloped the entire room.

"Holy...F***...How? It smells just as good as Toshio's dish, only...Gentler?" the same student from before commented in awe.

"Red Braised Bear Paws, please enjoy." Izuku said once properly cleaned the plate with a piece of cloth and cut the paws' meat in thin slices with zero effort, as if to show the sublime tenderness the once tough meat now possessed and the delicate rosy color still present in the innermost part of the meat.

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fstripedspatula.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F03%2Fbeer-braised-corned-beef-3.jpg&f=1&nofb=1

"You are getting famous, Izzy!" Kinoko said, smirking.

"Can't say I like it, I am still a bit unused to fame." Izuku admitted, snorting.

"Yes, but you are getting better at it, and I am glad. You no longer act like a scared bunny all the time." Kyoka answered, poking him in the cheeks jokingly with her earjacks.

"He just needs to get used to it more, that is all," Zaus stated, patting his reincarnation on the back.

"Damn straight," Daigoro stated, smirking.

Just then Izuku's dish of Red Braised Bear Paws appeared in front of everyone.

"Here it is! Please enjoy!" The Eye said, cheerfully.

"It does look delicious." He'art admitted, chuckling and getting a plate himself.

Plates went rapidly filled in meat, not only for the judges though, but for the rest of the class as well, a sheepish Izuku could just give a shy smile and explain that in his haste to 'Avenge' the bear he prepared too much meat and that he would have hated to waste it.

"To prepare the meat he managed to cut it while perfectly following the direction of the muscle fibers...This is the job of a surgeon, not a Chef..." Minato said while studying the delicate and thin slice of meat he picked-up in great interest.

"The gravy's thickness and texture too is impressive. What school do you come from?" King 3 asked, honestly impressed.

"A Private tutor. As a Quirkless I always end at the bottom of the waiting list, after a while I stopped bothering and found a personal teacher and a sponsor." Izuku answered, shrugging.

"That's a damn fat shame, this looks amazing. What about the taste?" King 4 answered while taking a bite, and falling dead silent.

Sniffle! Sniffle! Sniffle!

Everybody's attention soon turned to Toshio the Meat King, and the fat tears falling from his eyes as he chewed his own portion, the boy was crying his eyes out and yet looked unable to stop eating, no matter the almost-physical pain that taste caused him.

"What?..." Yamato muttered as a dark sense of foreboding climbed along her spine at the sense of deja-vu the scene gave her.

"HOLY F***!" a student in the back was heard gasp in shock.

"It's soft! And tender! And the aroma is strong yet gentle...HOW?!" a girl added with wide eyes.

"Strong and gentle? You mean like the bear pride he talked about?...S***! He turned a Bear's Pride into a flavour?! You can do that?!" another said, talking with her mouth unashamedly still full.

"I mean, yes?" Komatsu said, unsure.

"Food doesn't work like that!" Lunch Rush answered with a shriek.

"Rush, I guess they can." FatGum answered, eating his meal with a smile on his face.

"But! But! But!"

"It's okay. Just drop it." Mic answered, patting his back.

"But... But... But..."

"You broke him." Aizawa said, uncaring.

"Well he's not used to our way of cooking, yet," Setsuno stated, chuckling.

"I will find a way to be just as good!" he shouted, standing up and pointing to the ceiling.

"Hope to see it," Komatsu stated, smiling at the Cook Hero.

"Unlikely." Katsuki said, smirking, and badly covering it with fake coughs.

"SHUT UP!" Rush yelled with a high pitch.

The piping-hot piece of bear paw meat was topped with bits of chopped herbs and peppers while the red broth dripping from the pieces of meat exuded steam; the scent was fragrant, but not too dense. Spicy enough to tickle the nose without completely covering the inborn wild taste of the meat, but enriching it.

No matter how much one chewed, there seemed to be no end to the taste, it just kept coming and filling the mouth in its vigorous flavor, helped by the still chewy texture of the meat that even if really tender still maintained part of its springiness.

"Om nom nom..." Takeo the Vegetable King tried REALLY REALLY hard to ignore the loud munching sounds coming from the girl sitting next to him, valiantly trying to preserve the dignified image of Mako he had long since created in his mind ever since they went to the same middle school together all the way to the same University.

"Can you at least TRY to keep your composure, Mako-chan?" he begged.

"Shush!" the secret foodie answered, annoyed.

"How is it? How does my dish taste?" Izuku asked, watching Yamato struggle with her words once tried some herself.

"...Guh!" the old woman growled while glaring at him.

"Mother?" Minato asked.

"It's decent. As far as I am concerned, Toshio wins." she answered.

"..." silence fell into the room, a silence of pure disbelief.

"Mom..." Minato exclaimed with a disappointed sigh.

"Toshio wins, end of story."

"I lost," Toshio himself admitted right after.

"YOU!" the old woman roared in anger.

"IT'S TRUE! The meat is tender but not greasy; fresh, and does not smell...Its taste is simply amazing!" The Meat King admitted in tears.

"At least he's being a good sport about it," Vald stated, nodding at Toshio's behavior. "Unlike that woman..."

"Her own son had to step-in, That is so bad," Inko said, sighing.

"That makes me curious, it can't be just blackmailing. This woman is helping Samui with too much conviction." Aizawa said, humming.

"I am of the same advice, this almost feels personal for her." Nighteye answered.

"Like that Izuku is living the dream she always wanted?" Toriko asked.

"... You might not be too far off the mark actually..." Aizawa muttered.

He had seen it at the first bite already, the very bear they both had cooked, he saw it...HER...Rose to her hind legs and swipe down with her paws to crush Toshio with all her might, destroying him and his dish with a single strike and avenging her lost honor; he could not summon enough Pride to forcefully declare himself the winner, he just could not.

The flavor of the bear paws' meat lingered on his palate. It tasted delicious, and he almost lost himself to its flavor. Before that moment, he had never tasted such a unique flavor in his life, no matter how many experiments he did while cooking his beloved Bear Meat, that very same balance of tastes had always escaped him, and now with Izuku's dish, he had finally tasted it, and the bitter truth that HE could not reach that taste obliterated his pride as a 'Bear Meat Expert' and Meat King, hence the tears.

The entire classroom was filled with the LOUD sound of people munching still, and each one of them had an expression of bliss, or Greed if their plate was already empty and they were looking for more meat to gorge themselves with.

"The choice of Ingredient was a daring gamble, considering your Ingredient had been badly prepared too, but the technique displayed while cooking was nothing short of sublime. No matter the Pride I may feel as a student of Inoshiki myself, I am still duty-bound to judge objectively. This round is yours, Midoriya." Minato declared with a nod.

"TRAITOR!" his mother Yamato howled in fury.

"We second the motion. The Winner is Mister Midoriya." the other Kings declared as one after a short whispered conference between them.

"NOO!" Yamato roared.

"It was a given, Miss Rector. I hold no regrets." Toshio answered with a sorrowful expression while taking one of the knives he had used to cook his dish with and using a permanent marker to write his name along the blade before delivering it to Izuku.

"She was right, you are a damn Monster. Can I have a rematch sometime in the future?" he asked, meekly.

"I would be honored." Izuku answered, both young Chefs exchanged a bow at that.

"DO IT IN PRIVATE! YOU ARE HEREBY OUT OF MY UNIVERSITY! I WON'T HAVE A SUBPAR LOSER RUINING MY REPUTATION!" Yamato's outburst shocked everybody, even herself, before turning towards her assistant.

"You can't do that!" Kirishima and Tertsutetsu shouted at what the woman was doing.

"Technically, she can. BUT, any half-baked lawyer will easily turn her into a laughingstock if that boy tries to sue her for it, her kicking him out has no proper basis besides her being a sore-loser. And honestly, I would see it as a small blessing, once repelled her expulsion he will have a proper excuse to go to a better managed school." Nezu answered, displeased.

"He's pissed, isn't he?" Sanni asked Midnight.

"Oh definitely," she answered.

"Hn. Sucks to be her." Sanni said, smiling.

"Tell me at least that nobody saw this shameful display during the livestream."

"Livestream?" Izuku asked.

"Livestream?" Minato also chorused.

"...Madame...We have fifty-thousand viewers...And more keep arriving." the poor assistant replied with a small voice.

"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" the old woman ordered immediately.

"Immed-Uh?! W-We are no longer hosting it! I-I can't turn it off! Somebody hijacked the transmission!"

"WHO?!" she demanded, and the question made a couple Hackers from I-Island smugly flash their middle fingers at the screen while making sure more people were notified of the attack on Inoshiki Academy so as to add more viewers to the Livestream. Along making sure Toshio could find an acceptance letter for another Private University for Chefs already waiting for him when he will get home.

"I am out? Fair enough, I never liked it here anyway, working under a hag that believes we youngsters don't want to work hard it's a nightmare. I am chubby because I want to be and maybe because I eat too much meat, laziness and 'Ungrateful New Generations' have nothing to do with it. I'll just find another University that will appreciate my hard work." Toshio declared with his head held high while marching out.

"HOW DARE YOU?!"

"Piss off back in your pyramid, you mummy!" the former Meat King answered, unfazed.

"Good answer!" Katsuki said, laughing.

"She is just making things worse for herself," Tina stated, shaking her head in disappointment.

"She is losing her cool, this either means that she is very afraid of losing, for whatever Samui has over her, or she has an ulterior motive to take this defeat this hard." Aizawa said, humming.

"I don't really like not knowing the full details." Nighteye admitted.

"Me neither."

"Same," Coco stated.

"Hey! Destroy the others too, nothing personal, but if you throw Yamato down her high horse maybe she will become a bearable human." Toshio declared before slamming the classroom door closed behind himself and leaving the school with his head held high once retrieved his personal belongings.

"...Okay...MAYBE there were some buried issues between him and us." Fish King Sadao admitted, grimacing.

"I blame Mako, she is the one with an attitude." the Dessert King answered.

"HEY!" Mako answered, face red in annoyance.

"Little shameful display aside," Minato said while nailing his mother with a glare thankfully strong enough to silence her.

"We still have more Rounds to go through. You up for it, Mister Midoriya?" he asked.

"Yes, thank you. I would like to Challenge all the 5 Kings today before leaving and leave the Teachers and Yamato-san for tomorrow, if it's okay for you." Izuku answered with a nervous smile.

Everybody fell silent at that request, it was just too bold, too WILD, and nobody actually knew how to answer that besides gaping at him in shock.

"...Okay! We'll have a five minutes pause to clean everything, then we will continue with the next round: Chef Izuku VS Fish King Sadao." Minato declared, unsure, while the livestream chat exploded in awed comments.

Yamato instead could not help feeling something cold starting to form in the pit of her stomach, The System hoped it was Ulcer, but that was beside the point.

"That makes two of us," Gaia admitted.

"Very unpleasant woman." System answered.

"One down challenger down, eight to go," Mina stated, cheering.

"He's got this," Ochaco stated, nodding.

"Technically nine, Yamato too is one of them. Five students, plus four teachers and then her." Tina said.

"I wonder what other dishes we will see." Toru wondered.

"A Theme makes it both limiting, but at the same time, you have some room to move as well." Melk added.

Just then the lights turned back on.

"Ah man, over already?" Pony asked, pouting.

"Well it did say part one, so yeah," Setsuna stated, shrugging to her classmate.

"Okay, another thirty minute break, you can train and do everything you need," Xara stated.

"We're fighting," Mirko stated to her friend.

Ruyuku just rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah."

"We are training together too, Young Midoriya. It's time that I finish teaching you the more hidden intricacies of One for All, now that we both have it. And it will help me as well get back in shape after recovering the Quirk." Toshinori said, smiling.

"Of course!" Izuku answered, fist-bumping All Might.

"Mind if I join in then?" Zaus asked them. "He can combine his powers with Knocking and chef skills to make even stronger attacks."

All Might sighs, but nodded. "As much as I want Young Midoriya to be a hero, you are a part of him, and I have to accept that."

"I will never get in the way of that, I do want to help him in that regard, it is his dream, and I would never try to take it away from him. Please, let me help." Zaus answered, sighing.

"And I promise I won't stop him should he decide to chase the Chef Job as a side hustle too." Toshinori answered, nodding.

Both teachers smiled and shook hands. Izuku smiled, happy to see the two getting along.

To Be Continued...

Omake 1: Multiversal News With Tina and Mic Episode 1: Interviewing Zebra

-Multiversal News With Tina and Mic-

The title card for the show appeared with chibi heads of Tina, Mic and Kruppoh on it. It then moved away, showing Tina and Mike who were sitting at a new table.

"Welcome everyone to the first episode of Multiversal News With Tina and Mic," Tina introduced. "We're your hosts Tina and Present Mic."

"Hey you listeners of the Multiverse~! What's shaking~!? Those of the Gourmet World, as well as others, will recognize me as the guest Tina interviewed for her news~!" Mic introduced. "We are here to talk about news in the multiverse, be it dishes shown to guests stars, even challenges of cooking gods~!"

"And to help us keep track of everything happening in this amazing, one-of-a-kind event." Tina added, smiling.

"You got that right Tina~! Today, we have a guest to interview~! He's feared in the Gourmet World, one of the Four Kings, and has a voice louder than me~! I know, shocking~ Please welcome, Zebra~!" The staff were a bit nervous.

Zebra was then shown, looking unpleasant. "Tell me why I'm here again...?"

"Eh, we thought that telling people about your new powers and abilities while we were in between dimensions would help you look better in the public eye~" Mic answered, shrugging.

"Does it look like I care?" he asked the two.

"Can you just do this for us, please?" Tina asked.

Zebra sighs. "Fine..."

"Thanks man~!" Mic thanked, pointing at the King. "Now for the first Question, the new power you gain through a challenge, you were able to summon and even permanently create animals that you have eaten, am I correct?"

"Made of compressed and solid sound, yes. Can't say if I will use it often, though."

"Oh, don't be like that! That can be very useful." Mic answered, chuckling.

"Besides, if you do so, the warden of Honey Prison will not bother you any more," Tina added.

"... I hate you for pointing that out..." Zebra grumbled.

"Anyways, next topic, you have two students that look up to you, how do you feel about them?" Tina asked him.

"... They're not as annoying as most people I've had to deal with..." Zebra stated, grumbling.

Mic laughed. "Good to know~ I think that's all we have for today, we'll talk to you later on~"

Zebra got up. "Well this wasn't as bad as I thought," he muttered, leaving.

"That went better than most of my shows..." Tina said, shocked.

"Well you got me here, dear~!" Mic stated, smirking. "Now I think we should close for the episode~!"

"Right, we'll see you next episode then~!" Tina stated, looking at the camera.

To Be Continued...

______________________________________________________________________________

And that's chapter eight.

Mic: "AH YEAH~! OUR SHOW LOOKS GOOD SO FAR~!"

Joy: Looks like it is coming along in a very interesting manner. And the interview part is a wonderful addition, very surprising.

Mic: "THANKS~! WE'LL BE DOING OTHER STUFF AS WELL, JUST INTERVIEWS RIGHT NOW THOUGH~!"

True, And it looks like Ruyuku has evolved as well, both body and Quirk.

Joy: Dragon Lady deserves an upgrade too! Well done! :D

And I did think of an upgrade for Rikido Sato forn next chapter and what food item to use. But we'd like to hear what ideas you have for Evolving others with food. Here's what you the reader has to do:

Character:

Food/Meals:

Quirk Evolution Powers:

Body Evolutions:

You can do this for the same character, but the food through Body Evolutions need to be changed, like cultivating in manhwas.

Mic: "Sounds epic~!"

Joy: Have no fear of sharing your suggestions! They all are welcomed.

And with that, we should end this now. We hope you all enjoyed the chapter, and leave a like, fave, kudos, review, and everything else that is needed.

Joy: Thank you all so much for reading! Remember to follow and leave a like/kudos if you haven't already! We hope to see you again in the next chapter!

And with that, we'll see you all next time.

Mic: "SEE YAAAAAA~!"

Joy: See you next chapter! Byee!

See you all next time.

Please R&R.
