Chapter 9: Watching Episode Eight: "Battle against the Kings! Inoshiki Assault Arc Part 2"
Everyone was on their thirty minute break again, but this time, they were all sticking together. A few reasons why this is, is because some wanted to see all the pets or Toriko's group, and the other was to see Rumi, Ryuko and Zebra fight in the newly built arena.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Ryuko asked. "I just finished recovering from my evolution. I don't think Recovery Girl will be pleased."
"Good ideas, bad ideas, who cares?! You want to do it and we want to do it. That's all that matters!" Zebra answered, scoffing.
Runi fist bumps him. "I like the way you think~"
"That's because you don't even know what it feels like to have self-preservation." Ryukyu answered, sighing.
"That's for pussies!" Both said, fist-bumping.
"... Oh, my God... Two of them..." Ryuko moaned in despair.
"Hey, we just get each other," Rumi said shrugging, but had a manic smile. "I also want to see if my legs have more power to them now~"
"You still won't hit me~" Zebra said, a challenging smirk.
Rumi had the same smirk. "We'll see about that~"
Ruyko groaned. "Great, two battle maniacs..."
Just then the three were transported to the arena floor.
"Looks like it's time to start soon," Rumi stated.
"HAHAHAHA!" Zebra's muscles seemed to grow exponentially out of sheer excitement, a flaming energy of sorts enveloped him and a hulking monstrosity with green skin and too many muscles appeared behind him.
Ryuko sighs, but gets serious, summoning scales to her arms and legs, her gems glowing.
Xarazechi appeared in the middle of them. "Okay everyone. This is a fight to see how well Ryuko's new powers are, and Zebra and Miruko have agreed to fight and help her."
"Some fighting is always good to strengthen friendship," Joy added, sitting on a floating cushion.
"They shouldn't be doing this," Recovery Girls stated, looking unhappy. "She's just recovering from her transformation."
"Eh, nothing some good food couldn't fix," Toriko stated, shrugging. He was promptly smacked in the head by the Nurse's cane.
"You idiot! Say that when you lose your head!" she scolded the blue haired man.
"Been there, done that. Lost the entire right half of my entire body from the Horse Heracles's snort... Yet Here I am." Toriko answered, shrugging. He was then hit on the head again for being nonchalant about the whole thing. "WILL YOU STOP THAT!?"
Rumi then had a shiver run down her spine. "... That was odd... I felt a sense of excitement and foreboding for some reason..."
Zebra and Ryuko just shrugged.
"Are we going to do this or not?" Zebra asked, popping his neck.
Xarazechi brought out a whistle. "When I blow this, you may begin."
"Can we get some toons for the fight!?" Mic shouted. Both Tina and Kruppoh sigh.
"Mic, please..." Tina groaned.
Xarazechi smiles. "I got you." He then blew the whistle and music started playing when he vanished.
(Cue: Dragonborn from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim)

Xarazechi appeared with the watchers. Izuku had to ask, "Why this song?"
"Why not this song?" he asked back.
Back in the arena, Ryuko started this off by firing both fire and wind roar at them, making the fire stronger. Rumi was smirking and was bouncing around at high speed.
"Bwahahaha! Machine-gun Voice! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Zebra answered by laughing and, somehow, turning every note of his laugh into a separate bullet of condensed soundwave, shooting out of his mouth like a machine gun in a hail of sound bullets intercepting the wall of fire.
The attack breaks through her fire, making Ryuko cover her whole body in scales and protect her face with her arm. The attack hit and she could feel her body vibrate. She dug her clawed feet in the ground, so she wouldn't move.
"Luna Fall!" Rumi shouted, coming down like a meteor at her friend for a devastating dropkick. The ground under her shock and nearly crater under the blow. "Remember, you're facing two people~!"
"BWAHAHAHAHA! That's what I like! Beat Punch!" Zebra answered, and the way his muscles started squirming in a strange off-tempo rhythm told Rumi to avoid that punch at all cost!
"YAHAHAHAHAHA!" The mad mountain of muscles jumped Rumi, fist cocked back.
"OH SHIT!" Ryko shouted, pulling her wings out, and grabbing Rumi. She flew up at high speed, then spun around with Rumi, and then threw Rumi at Zebra.
Rumi smirked at this and righted herself to where his fist was. "Hey Zebra~! Ever done a Fast Ball Special~!?"
"BWAHAHAHA! Throw it, girlie!"
Rumi smirked and landed on his fist, she then felt vibrations going into them thanks to Zebra, making her smile wider. "This is going to be epic~!" She was then fired like a cannonball, nearly breaking the sound barrier. Ryuko had no time to block and was hit by Rumi's now empowered Luna Fall, and felt her whole body vibrating uncontrollably.. "SONIC LUNA BLADE!"
Ryuko was sent to the ground hard, making the whole arena shake. Everyone had to hold onto something to keep steady.
"HAHAHAHA! How's that?!"
"Oto Kabe! (Sound Wall) ... Bwahahahaha! Do that again, Girl!" Zebra asked, laughing crazily. A dull membrane-like barrier was surrounding and protecting him.
Just then, he was hit by someone else's sonic blast, sending him flying back. Runi's eyes widened and saw that the dust cleared and Ryuko was now in her evolved dragon form, all sixteen gems in her being glowing. "How do you like your own medicine?"
"...Hahaha...HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"...I don't like that laugh..." Ryukyu muttered, cominding Sounds, Lighting and Ice to try and stun him. She was about to fire at him, seeing him as the bigger threat.
"Ryu... The hell is that thing above us..." Rumi asked in dread.
"UH?!" Ryukyu looked up and saw a giant squirming sphere of red energy.
"Take this!" Zebra shouted, sending the attack at her. "METEOR! NOISE!"
"ZEBRA! NO!" Toriko yelled with wide eyes, the others worrying as well.
"He overdid... Again..." Light face-palmed.
Ryuko's eyes widened, and stopped her attack. "Let's hope I can do what those Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail can do..." She then started sucking in the air, and to everyone's shock, Zebra's attack was being eaten.
Jaws dropped seeing that. "Is she... eating sound...? HAHAHA! You go, girl!" Toriko asked, eyes widened and slack jawed, then he started laughing.
"I'm seeing it, but not believing it..." Izuku said, awe in his voice, and wrote this down.
Ryuko ate it all, and let out a small burp, she was surprised to get a flavor from it though.. "Not bad, it has a zingy taste to it. Might have to have it with something else to go with it."
"Bwahaha! Well done, lizard girl." Zebra patted Ryukyu on the head. Rumi was laughing her ass off as well, seeing the most ridiculously awesome thing
"... Ah, yes... We are fighting." Ryukyu muttered in dread.
WHAM!
"Ouch!" Rumi winced as the dragon girl was sent flying. She had to dodge as well to not be hit by one of Ryuko's tails as she flew by her.
"Got cocky, didn't you?" Zebra asked the rabbit woman.
"Maybe a little, I was too busy laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of her eating your attack like an afternoon snack," Rumi stated, getting out of the wall she bounced on.
"Eh! Don't sweat the small stuff, Rabbit!" Zebra answered, chuckling.
"You two should also watch your steps," Ryuko stated, getting up, then slammed her hand on the ground, having earth and ice pillars form under the two, sending them flying in the air. "Don't know what traps you might set off."
"Okay, that was smart of her," Rumi stated, flipping around in the air. "Made us put our guard down with a trap that was instantaneous so not even you could have heard it in time."
"No, it wasn't only that, she matched my frequency so I wouldn't have heard it as well, since I'm so used to hearing my own sound," Zebra stated, smirking manically. "I'm actually having fun~!"
"Why does that sound like bad news?" Rumi asked, ready to make something with another element. She was having sand and fire ready.
"Hahahahaha!" He answered with a creepy laugh.
Ryuko used her heightened senses to see what his next move was, and saw that there were multiple sound and afterimager copies of Rumi and Zebra.
Rumi was able to talk with Zebra, knowing he'd hear her. "Another Sonic Luna Blade fast ball~?" Her blood was pumping like Zebra's.
"Eh! Girlie, it will be far stronger than the first one, I am going to overcharge your leg. Hahahaha!" He answered.
"I'm sure I can take it~" Rumoi stated, getting on his fist again, and feeling more power being placed in her legs. "Fire when ready~!"
"Bwahahaha! I love these guys! Let's call it Beat Kick!" Zebra answered, and Rumi felt her own leg throb so much it felt about to tear apart itself from inside out.
Rumi smiled widely. "I like it~ Might add onto it though~" She was then sent flying at the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier this time. She then spun around a few times and hit Ryuko in the chest. "SPIRAL BEAT KICK!" There was then a giant explosion that nearly sent everyone falling backwards, Ryuko being sent into the wall hard. Rumi laned, smiling madly. "Now that was epic!" She then winced. "But damn, my legs are killing me now."
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL IF YOU DON'T STOP IT!" Recovery Girl roared.
They then hear a buzzer. "Okay, time's up!" Xara shouted. "The match is over!"
"Already!?" both Zebra and Rumi shouted, annoyed.
"Hey, I gave you three at least twice the amount of time to fight in there, it's usually five minutes, but I gave you ten."
Rumi and Zebra grumbled. Ryuko walked out of the rubble, ragged. "I for one am fine with it... I barely got to use my powers and was more of a punching bag..." She glared at the two. "I thought this was to help train ME!"
"Having too much fun," both stated, shrugging.
Ryuko slumped.
Sunni groaned. "Great, those two are like brother and sister..."
"... You don't think they are cosmic siblings, do you?" Yu asked.
"I wouldn't be surprised..." Coco said.
"Hey... I have a doubt..." Izuku said.
"Yes?"
"Rumi-san and Ryuko-san' powers evolved, Ryuko's more so due to Quirk Evolution, and they became this strong... What will happen when Zebra-san's powers will evolve?"
"..."
"... [EXPLETIVE CENSORED!]" Both Joy and Light cursed in chorus.
Xara sighs. "Thank goodness I censored those two, what they said was very damn cursed... But did you really have to go and ask that...?"
"Bwahahahaha! I can't wait!" Zebra said with a savage smile.
"Please no!" The other Heavenly Kings answered in chorus.
"You forget that everyone else here is also evolving as well~" Knocking Master added, taking a swing of Hundred Thousand Year Aged Fire Breath Saki he got from Joy. "This is fine booz~"
"I am counting on that, old man! I'LL FIGHT THEM ALL! BWAHAHAHAHA!"
"... It's useless, there is no reasoning with that mad dog..." Poor Knocking Master grumbled in annoyance.
"Okay then, while we're here, Koda wanted to see if he could use his Quirk on your pets, to see if he can control animals from other universes," Xara informed.
"If you guys are okay with it, that is?" Koda asked the Toriko crew. He poked his fingers together. "I understand if you say no."
Sunni thought for a second. "As long as you don't do something ridiculous to my baby, or make her do something ugly."
"D-Define ugly?"
"Don't, we'll stay here a month if he lists it fully." Coco answered.
"Just go ahead, we'll tell you if it is not enough." Toriko added.
The Anivoice user bowed to them. "Thank you." He was then teleported to th eArena floor with the pets of Toriko's world.
Teppe looked at the heroes. "You think his Quirk will work on them?"
"His Quirk should work. On what level though... Full obedience, suggestion or just... They understand but refuse to obey... That is the question." Zaus answered.
"Ooh, right, They are different animals from the ones in our world," Nezu added, nodding.
Koda gulped. "Okay you guys, I'd like you all to line up in a single file," he ordered the animals with his Quirk activated, doing something easy.
They obey and do so. "Okay, uh... So minor orders do work... what now..."
"May I suggest something not too silly? To spare their dignity?" Nezu said, walking close to him.
"S-Sure! ... Uuuh... Here?" Koda said, offering his hand.
"..." The three animals gave three snorts of amusement, but a giant paw, a foot and the very tip of a massive tail piled on the poor boy's hand that still felt his knees buckle under the weight.
"Oof!"
"You okay Koda?" Jiro asked the teen.
"J-Just a bit heavy..." He groaned out.
Snort!
"Don't laugh! That is not very nice!" Koda said to the massive animals, but he too was smiling.
"Another one?" Nezu asked.
"...Uuuh... Jump?" Koda asked, and the three went through a short backflip and landed heavily on the ground.
BOOOOM!
"AYE!" Many stumbled and fell from the vibrations.
"Okay, that was a bad idea..." Nezu, who had actually been sent flying from the wind pressure, said with a groan while getting back to his feet.
"I think we know he has control over them, at least for simple stuff." Toriko groaned, helping people up.
"Has anyone seen Kruppoh?" Tina asked, looking for her bird.
"He's down there," Aizawa said, pointing to the Balloon Pigeon on Koda's head.
Koda grabbed the bird. "You okay little guy?"
"KRUPPOPOPOPOPOPOPO!" the small pigeon went ballistic in answer, screeching right in Koda's face at full volume.
"Sorry, very sorry, very very sorry. Didn't think things through, sorry!" Koda answered while bowing to the small pigeon over and over at high speed.
"You okay?" Mic asked, helping Tina get up.
"I am! Thank you!" She answered with a grateful smile.
"Your small friend is reading him the riot act!" Mic said, laughing.
"Oh! Kruppoh can be something when angry." Tina answered, chuckling.
"I think this is enough testing of his Quirk for now, before little Kruppoh bites off his head," Zaus said, everyone agreeing.
"And right on time as well," Xara stated. "The next episode is ready to start."
"Already?" Kirishima asked.
"Hey, time flies, and some videos are faster than others to set up."
"And I wanted to test out a new knife with some of the materials we had," Melk said.
"There's always next break," Melissa said to her teacher.
______________________________________________________________________________
(Theater)
Everyone made it back to their own theater rooms, ready for the next showing.
"Oh! Hey! Had fun?" Kyoka asked.
"Yes!" Zebra and Rumi answered with wide, savage smiles.
"No..." Ryukyu answered, pouting.
"Maybe next time, hn? Maybe next time you will actually train," Mt. Lady said.
"We can train together if you want!" Izuku offered.
"Eh! Aren't you a sweet boy," Ryuko answered, showing a small smile and ruffling his hair.
"... By the way... That marshadow?" Joy whispered to Xara.
"Just got them," Xaras informed.
Just then, something popped up out from under/in Izuku's Shadow.
"Shadow?" the new Pokemon asked, looking up at Izuku.
"..." The two just looked at each other in silence... And tears started slowly mounting in Izuku's eyes.
"Oh, no..." Bakugou muttered in absolute horror.
"AIM HIS HEAD OUTSIDE!" Light shrieked..
"Kyaaaah!" Joy answered by unzipping reality and shoving Izuku's head into the void.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Just in time to avoid him flooding the theater.
"Sha-Shadow?" The Marshadow asked and reclined his head to the side, but still patted Izuku's knee as a show of comfort.
"Okay... Okay... He stopped crying..." The Eye said, gasping in relief and releasing Izuku.
"I assume he likes his new partner?" Inko asked.
"No shit." Zebra answered, chuckling.
"Language!" Izuku, now with Marshadow riding his shoulders, and Mirio shouted.
Zebra just rolled his eyes.
"Be glad we covered the kids' ears," Mandalay stated.
"Alright, everyone get in your seats," Light ordered. Everyone did so as the lights went down.
A Chef Rebirth chapter 8: Battle against the Kings! Inoshiki Assault Arc Part 2.
AU University – Between Lessons -
"Okay! One down...Four to go..." Momo said once checked the livestream of the Cooking Challenge I-Island hijacked from Yamato's control.
"Your boyfriend is really attacking a cooking school?" Mina asked.
"Their five best students, their four best teachers and then their Rector, a Three Michelin Star Level Chef. Yes," she answered.
"You...You did not deny the boyfriend thing." Jiro said, unsure.
"Because he is. He just got my father's blessing." Momo answered, a tiny smile surfacing on her face.
"NO WAY!" Mina yelled with wide eyes.
"Congratulations, Yaomomo!" Tooru squealed in happiness for her friend.
"NOOOOO!" At the same time Mineta was heard yelling from the back of the class while rushing towards Momo in tears.
"What is it to you?"
"It's unfair! HE doesn't even have a Quirk! He doesn't deserve your tits or ass! I am a better man than that useless Loser and I'll show you by plowing you until you love me! Let's FUC-"
"MINETA!" all of 1-A shouted at him for the comments.
"OTHER ME! OTHER ME!" the small boy shouted.
"Eeeh!"
"Oh come on! I Have dignity! That... That is a bad version of me! Come ooooooon!" Mineta begged.
"I believe in him." Izuku admitted.
"Thank you!" Mineta answered, looking about to cry in relief. "I am trying to be better than these kinds of versions of me, I truly am. And Also, I would never belittle someone as well, being bullied myself for my height and Quirk."
"Like the wise words of Master Yoda, 'Size Matters Not'," Xara quoted the Jedi Master.
"It's the size of the Heart that matters!" Joy added, bouncing around laughing.
"Thanks..." Mineta thanked quietly.
BOOOOOOM!
The class became dead silent once seen the classy and elegant Momo answer to that disgusting request by UPROOTING HER DESK FROM THE FLOOR to bash Mineta's skull with it hard enough to dig a perfect imprint of the boy's entire body on the concrete floor.
"I don't know in what kind of sordid pornography you constantly drown yourself, but there is NOT A SINGLE WOMAN on this planet that can be converted to 'Love' by having sex with her, EVEN LESS LIKELY IF AGAINST HER WILL! Especially with a sub-human pervert like you. Drop this 'Cuckholding Crusade' of yours for everything female in a thirty meters radius or I will personally see to it to have you neutered! I won't forgive your Sexual Harassment against me or my friends anymore!" the young woman declared while repositioning her desk back down with a low thud.
Had Izuku seen that, he would have understood why the System insisted in him enriching Momo's food in Vitality and Gourmet Energy that much after the USJ Incident, the other students though only saw an amazing feat of strength from somebody without a Strength-Related Quirk, but any comment about it went forcefully put on hold once seen the blood dripping from the desk right where it had almost split Mineta's skull open. Even Katsuki decided to not say a thing.
Momo was blushing hard in embarrecement.
"Daaaaaaamn, girl!" Nemuri said.
"Yes Queen, Slaaaay!" Setsuna added, laughing.
"THAT WAS WAY TOO MUCH FORCE!" Mineta shouted, pointing at the screen. "MY OTHER MIGHT BE A DEGENERATE, BUT THERE ARE LAWS ON OVERUSE OF FORCE!"
"To be fair, one should always fear the fury of a quiet person." Coco said, shaking his head. "Still it was a bit excessive. But it happens." He then added, shrugging.
"They should still be wary of the laws still," Nighteye stated, fixing his glasses. "Over use of force can get you in hot water."
"..." Aizawa hid his face in his scarf.
"Say it, Shoota..." Mic, looking defeated, says.
"One could say that if none of us did anything before things escalated like this with that Mineta... In a way we caused her to snap..."
"... Y-Yes." the boy managed to say before blissful unconsciousness mercifully embraced him.
"Jesus..." Kaminari whispered.
"What happened?" Ochako chose that moment to enter the class accompanied by Nemuri.
She had been talking with the woman about her dubious feelings for her 'Boss' at her part-time job, and she still didn't have an answer to her dilemma, not even knowing he was in a relationship with Momo already seemed to make her heart stop beating wildly when with him.
"Mineta finally got on Yaomomo's nerves, he tried saying he was her ideal man and pretended to show it by demanding her to have sex with him, probably meaning 'right here and now' in front of the entire class. I think that's the gist of it." Tooru answered, still a bit shaken.
"And that was all it took for you to somehow uproot a desk anchored on the floor with concrete to almost flatten him?" Midnight asked.
"That and the Sexual Harassment me and my girl friends are targeted with daily." Momo answered.
"And the panties thievery." Mina added.
"And his trying to put cameras in our showers and locker rooms." Tsuyu said.
"And the crass jokes about any of us just missing out without... Sucking him off." Jiro said with a scowl of disgust.
"I am invisible, but he still tries to take pictures under my skirt." Tooru said.
"...I did find him sniffing my shoes after Gym practice a couple of times..." Ochako said with a small voice.
"I think I saw him take a couple of pictures of his... P****... Right before asking us if we had the phone number of any of the girls. Luckily none of us actually gave him one, I managed to alert everybody just in time." Mezo admitted with a low, unsure tone of voice.
Mineta's eye was twitching. "Okay! Even I know that's way too far!"
"Man! That's like... The very worst version of you!" Kaminari said, shocked.
"I KNOW!" Mineta said, crying.
"That is something that happens too. Your worst version or your better version. Your darkest sides being ten times worse, so to speak." Joy explained.
"For example there are several worlds where you are the epitome of celibacy. Heck, in a couple you are actually a monk. Then there are more normal versions. The Multiverse is vast." He'arth explained.
"And when you're a girl you're more liked when you are, sense girls aren't normally portrayed as perverts alot," Joy added.
"Mostly because it's such a rare one that it is still kind of new, thus acceptable." He'arth added.
"... I have no idea how to feel about that..." Mineta said, not knowing how to deal with that information.
"Why do you think Midnight is popular?" Gaia asked, giggling.
"Can we get back to the show...?" System asked.
"Those are serious allegations, why has nobody said a thing before?" Nemuri said, pinching the bridge of her nose and groaning.
"I don't know if it is a proper excuse, professor, but at the beginning his jokes and mannerism were just 'Tasteless' and 'Annoying', but nothing too extreme. We boys did ask the girls if they needed help in dealing with him and so we usually kept him grounded, then serious schoolwork started and none of us could spare enough time to keep him on a leash, shall we say. I fear that he then saw it as a green-light of sorts to go all out and enjoy his depravity." Tenya tried saying.
"Few of us also thought that sooner or later the Teachers too would have started reigning him in." Tokoyami added, sighing.
"Fucking unlikely. The midget thinks with his dick only! How I don't know since we boys shower together and I happened to see only misery down there, a bit of trivia I could have easily lived without gaining." Katsuki answered, scoffing.
"Even Bakubro had to take counseling rounds for his Anger Management. I thought Mineta was getting similar counseling for his libido." Kirishima admitted with a shrug.
"No, unfortunately he hasn't. But he will, if he really was that bad, but you all will need to testify and bring proof of his demeanor."
"Yep! Our counterparts left it fester until somebody snapped and administered some justice. Can't blame her for having enough of it. Excessive force or not." Nemuri said, sighing in dismay.
"I think you should take that as well, Mineta," Hound Dog stated.
"Already on it, teach." Mineta stated, not arguing.
"UH?!" All of 1-A asked in shock.
"... I don't want to become like that, okay? My Uncle IS like that... And everybody hates him..." He admitted with a low voice full of shame. "But I will still give compliments to a woman, that's the gentleman thing to do. Just... Pegi 13, I guess."
"You can do it, Mineta-kun." Izuku offered with a gentle smile, hand on his shoulder.
"I was thinking of using force subliminal torture to fix him," Mina muttered, but not low enough.
"ASHIDO!" Iida shouted, horrified.
"What's funny is that in a couple Universes she does that, and it works!" Xara said. "And maybe in the main timeline as well."
"I mean... In a twisted way... It did help." Joy said, slowly.
"I am still unsure how force-feeding Respect Women Juice counts as helping, though." He'arth muttered, unsure.
"No, you are not doing it in our Universe, Ashido," Aizawa ordered Mina. "He's doing better on his own."
Mina pouted. "Fine..."
"Man she's savage..." Tina muttered.
"You can say that again..." Teppe agreed.
"Wonder if I can teach her Knocking with her dancing~?" Knocking master pondered.
Both Itsuka and Neito felt pity for the pink girl.
"Do broken hidden cameras, stolen socks and panties and blurry pictures clearly taken from unaware girls mid-changing do?" another teacher said from the door.
"Ectoplasm?"
"One of my students found a hidden camera in her bedroom, we tracked the IP and Power Loader found-out it connected with the laptop of one of your students. Once we entered his room we found a lot of trophies clearly stolen from female students of several classes of every year along stacks of pornography in clear violation of the Campus' rules. Where is Minoru-san?"
"... He's on the floor with a concussion." Nemuri answered, groaning even louder.
"Who was it that smashed him?" Ectoplasm asked.
"I did. He demanded to have sex with him following some deranged fantasy of me falling MADLY in Love with him thanks to that," Momo admitted.
"...If they ask, I have given you a very harsh punishment followed by a lecture about excessive force. For this one time I say we let it slide as we teachers obviously had ignored a Pervert harassing every girl in our school while hoping this mess would fix itself. Do not make it a habit, any of you."
"Yes, professor!" the entire class answered.
"Good. I'll take the little idiot to Recovery Girl, then we'll talk about his punishment, his future in AU, IF he will have a future here, and very harsh Counseling Meetings that will start immediately after he recovers, we will curb this idiocy of his or he will die trying!" The Pro Hero answered before unceremoniously dragging Mineta away from the class.
Mineta slumped. "I just wish I wasn't so short... Maybe then I'd have a chance..."
"The Italians have a nice saying: In the small barrels you can find good wine! Basically to not look at the outer appearances only. The whole Book and Covers thing. You just need to be a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit less pervert and maybe you'll find the right girl!" Tetsutetsu said.
"But I do remember one univers where Mineta was tricked into taking drugs that stunted his growth and his Quirk..." Light stated.
"EH!? WHY?!"
"Eeeh... Depends... Quirk Racism, Wanting you to fail, Cults, your father hating you because you were born from your mother cheating on him... You buying faulty penis enlargement pills from sketchy websites...The reasons vary a lot." Joy informed, shrugging with his floating hands.
Mineta paled. "I'm going to have a check up with Recovery Girl when we get back..."
"Better safe than sorry," Coco stated.
"Goddamnit, I so do not need this." Nemuri admitted with a groan.
"Sorry, teacher."
"Don't be, Yaoyorozu. It was partly our mistake as well, like you others, we too hoped he would have calmed down by himself. Whatever, let's focus on our lesson now."
"Yes!"
"... Ah! Did your friend win his little challenge, Yaoyorozu?"
"He just defeated the first King, he will now go against the second." she answered, unsure.
"Good! Me and few others have a betting pool ongoing about that, I bet he would win every fight, and since I don't want to lose my paycheck, he better sweep the floor with them!" Nemuri answered, smirking.
"You have bet about him?!"
"Me and Shota gave him as a total winner, same for Lunch Rush, Toshinori and Nighteye instead said he will win against everybody except the University Rector, and Mic didn't think he will actually win against the first Teacher. He did bet the most between us, so I think he is now VERY AFRAID of losing." she answered.
"Tch!" Momo hissed in contempt.
"Something tells me Professor Mic dropped LOW in Yaomomo's scoreboard." Mina muttered, smirking, and getting an amused snort in answer from Jiro sitting next to her.
"Yep!"
"MIC-SENSEI!" Izuku yelled, looking hurt beyond belief.
"Marsh-Marsh!" The Marshadow instead was shaking a tiny fist in a threatening manner.
Mic jaw dropped at his other's actions, pulling at his hair. "WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING!? THAT IDIOT! HE HAD HIS FOOD BEFORE, WHY WOULD HE BET AGAINST HIM!?"
"The more unlikely a bet is, the more it pays if you win. It's a dangerous gamble, but had he won, he would have probably multiplied his money by one hundred times, if not more." Nezu theorized.
"HAD HE WON?! You already think of him as a loser?!" Mic shrieked.
"..." Everybody just looked at him.
"... Okay yeah, not even I believe my own words..." Mic said, grumbling.
"Now if he was facing another God of Cooking Candidate, Like this Izuku and Komatsu, and another that's training in another world, Shirou Emiya, then his bet would work," Xara stated.
"We are thinking of having a female Goddess of Cooking, though her world is a bit boring..." System informed.
"You mean the Black Clover Univers?" Gaia asked them
"They have potential."
"I had been thinking of making things more powerful in that world, like Asta having Anti-Magic and Infinite Slayer Magic, Yin and Yang sort of thing," Gaia said. She then smirked. "Maybe even have the humans and elves be working together and trick the demon that tried to force them to work for him~"
"I can't wrap my head around the fact that you all talk about changing the course of events of entire Universes just for fun or for research." Nana admitted.
"It's for the sake of the people, actually. They all want the absolute best timeline to happen as many times as possible. For the better of every living being there." Joy answered.
"And you?" Toriko asked.
"I am a recorder. I prefer to record events and people, I leave changes to others. At worst I give one or two suggestions, but my job is to keep track of stuff, not change it." He answered.
"... You don't do anything at all?" Sunni asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I believe in Free Will. People... Mortal Beings must have the freedom of doing whatever they want, with the caveat that they must not escape the consequences of their actions. We Joy Seekers don't have that. We have a job, we exist to do that job, and we do that job. We don't choose. I would love to be a painter, but I can't be one. That's why I hang out with people that can do whatever they want."
"Huh... That's a lot to think about..." Coco stated.
Meanwhile – Inoshiki Chef Academy – Classroom -
Yamato was still fuming for the defeat of the Meat King, the last of the Top 5 students of Inoshiki University, while King Number 4, Sadao 'The Fish King' took position at the workplace at the opposite side of the room from Izuku at the front row of the class.
The other Kings were once again sitting next to the Rector Yamato and her son in front of both Contestant, but instead of aloof all of them looked tense since the old woman in a bout of anger had kicked-out the Meat King as a punishment for his defeat.
"The next Fight will be Midoriya Izuku VS Umikage Sadao, The Fish King. Both Contestants ready?" Minato, son of Yamato, asked once seen both Chefs finishing checking their instruments.
"Yes!" both Chefs answered.
"Good. Just like before, Chef Midoriya has left the choice of Ingredients to us, and following Sadao's own request, we prepared this: Pacific Saury." Minato said while taking out of a near fridge a wide tray covered by a cloth with Inoshiki Insignia on it, once removed, the class and Izuku saw a dozen shining fishes neatly put on display, all of them so fresh they looked like they had been just pulled out of the water and instant before the challenge.
The fishes all had an elongate body dark green/blue on the dorsal side and silvery below, they also sported small, bright blue blotches distributed randomly on the sides.
Their mouth was small, and there was a series of small finlets between the dorsal and anal fins, it also had a small forked tail and cycloid scales.
"Hmmm! Pretty basic, nothing too exceptional." Coco muttered, thoughtful
"Wha?! Those are damn good ones! Especially for the season they are in!" Lunch Rush answered.
"Different standards, sorry..." Komatsu answered, shy.
"More like askew standards," Nighteye stated, fixing his glasses.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sunni asked.
"You come from a world with absurd animals and plants we can barely see in dreams or nightmares. But while we understand that you are used to more outlandish tastes and ingredients, please do not downplay our own surprise or shock." Nighteye answered, sighing.
"... Huh, guess we have been a bit... what's the word...?" Toriko stated, snapping his fingers to think of the right word. "Come on, it is at the tip of my tongue... Spoiled might be the best word I guess... Even if a lot of the ingredients are difficult to get."
"I find spoiled to be too strong a word. Different worlds, different happenings," Setsuno stated.
Mirio shrugged. "Could be."
"Wow! They are all so fresh!" Izuku admitted in surprise.
"Got delivered this morning, barely an hour before your arrival, actually. For an instant we thought we would have had to postpone Sadao's own challenge until they arrived." Minato admitted with an uneasy smile.
"It would have been worth the wait, Mister Minato, they are gorgeous! They will be our Ingredients?"
"Yup! We will use Pacific Saury as the main Ingredient. Compared to Toshio, though, I am giving you the freedom to choose first which one to use. We can also use different side Ingredients instead of the Saury only. I want you to give your best, just like I will!" Sadao showed her more bubbly personality while tying her ridiculously-long hair in a ponytail so as to free her eyes from the long fringe normally covering them and fully displaying a pair of amazing eyes the color of pure emeralds.
"Thank you." Izuku answered, shy, but his eyes did turn extremely sharp once focused on the big display of ingredients in front of him, once again attracting the attention of a few other girls in the class.
"He looks so hot when focused..." Many thought while looking at him in newfound interest thanks to his show of 'Worth' after the defeat of the Meat King, they now knew he was not exactly a nobody.
Izuku was red faced again.
"Harem Protagonist EX Skill at work~" Gaia said, giggling.
"He doesn't even have that..." System muttered with a growl.
Gaia rolled her eyes. "You still hadn't noticed it? That it's being blocked by you?" Being a balanced Elder Goddess, she could sense both Order and Chaos magic better.
"... What...!?"
"Yep, and it's by Joy~" she giggled.
Joy squealed. "Wha-!? No it's not!"
"I know~ Just messing with you~"
"Hey! Don't throw me to the wolves! They have been hunting down the culprit for ages! They stormed FATE, TIME and SPACE. I am not touching that! At worst, my boss did it."
"... Do we want to know what you're talking about?" Mount Lady asked.
"It'll show up later," Light informed them.
"I see..."
"I will use these ones." he finally said once selected the still whole fish from the dozen Yamato prepared for the Challenge.
"He actually chose some of the best ones... He really does have amazing eyes..." Minato muttered, once again calling on himself his mother's ire.
"Good choice! I am glad to see you are not an amateur! Good coloring and state of the eyes, it means that we both choose the absolute freshest ones of the bunch!" Sadao complimented him with a small clap while cutting a few pieces of parchment paper into squares, he instead covered his fishes with a finely-grated spice mixture.
"Where did you get the Saury? Now it's not exactly a good season for them," Izuku asked while he started mixing some Dashi (Traditional Japanese Fish Broth) with soy sauce, sake, sugar and some Mirin (Sweet and thick Japanese Sake with low alcohol content) to slowly boil it into a thick sauce.
"He is making Kaeshi Sauce? Why? That is usually used for Ramen and other noodle dishes..." Yamato thought, confused, unaware that her precious Kings too were having the same thoughts as her.
"... OOOOOH! That's clever!" Komatsu said once realized that Izuku's plan.
"What do you-? Oh! Oh! Oh! I think I get it! Very well-planned!" Lunch Rush answered, bumping his fist in his open palm.
"Do enlighten us, Cooking freaks!" Mineta said, rolling his eyes.
"You'll see!" Both answered, chuckling.
"OH COME ON!" Both Mineta and Kaminari shouted.
In the meantime they all watched as the young Chef also removed the fish's innards while keeping most of its fat aside he then cooked with some Extra-Virgin Oil and Wine Vinegar to create a secondary sauce giving off a mesmerizing fish scent.
"Hehehehehe! Inoshiki Academy is special! We have our own personal Ingredient Providers, these Saury are not exactly from around here, they come from a private breeding specialist overseas and were delivered by air this morning just for this challenge! Those guys have a very special breeding method, so we can have them perfectly plump whenever we want!" Sadao answered, she instead was mixing butter with black pepper, garlic, parsley and thyme to create a dense and aromatic cream.
"Cool! But, hey! You too make your own Herb butter?" Izuku asked, impressed.
"Ufufufufu! I like mine with juuuuust a bit more pepper than normal, I like strong tastes." she answered with a giggle and a wink.
"Nice! I usually make it with a bit less thyme, usually."
"Do they know they are supposed to be enemies?" the other students thought in dismay at Sadao's overly-friendly attitude.
"STOP FRATERNIZING AND DESTROY HIM!" Yamato shrieked in fury.
"You are starting to worry me, mom." Minato admitted, sighing.
"SHUT UP!"
"Wow... I had almost forgotten she was there..." Inko stated, wanting to forget that awful woman.
"Bwahahaaha! That's the worst insult you can throw at her: Forget she exists!" Zebra said, laughing amused.
"She is a poor excuse of a mother and a cook," Inko stated so flatly, she could make sodas that flat.
"Yikes, I wouldn't say that. She is being unreasonable and mean, but calling her a bad mother and cook is still a bit too soon to say." Recovery Girl answered, shaking her head.
"I said poor, not bad, there's a difference," Inko corrected the medical hero. "She's showing a poor attitude as both a mother and a cook."
"I can agree to that."
"I am curious about her motivations to go along with any revenge plan against Midoriya. This looks far too personal." Nezu said, humming.
"We might find out soon," Midnight stated.
With Izuku -
"Why does our Rector hate you?" Sadao asked.
"I made a plate of rice that made a dear friend of hers feel inadequate."
"That's it?"
"Yes. I still find this hatred she and her other friends have against me a bit overblown, but I don't pretend to understand what happens in the head of Egomaniacs, I am just defending myself." he admitted with a helpless shrug.
In the meantime his sauce had evidently reached the right thickness as everybody saw him pull it off of the fire to let it cool down by itself while he focused on the fish properly.
"What did you use to season the Saury?" Sadao asked once to see him clean away the spice he had covered the fish with.
"Dried Pimenta Dioica Fruit. I had some with me, luckily, since I could not see any in your spice cabinet. I would have been in trouble without it." Izuku answered.
"Pimento? You carry that stuff with you?" King number 2 asked, confused.
"Not only Allspice, I came full of other spices too." Izuku answered, briefly opening the jacket of his Chef attire to show the six or so small jars of spices strapped in the inner area.
"I didn't know if you would have let me use YOUR condiments, so I brought some along by myself." He then said.
"Good thinking on his part~" Nezu complimented.
"Especially to cover for the powers of an Eldritch being making confetti of reality." Aizawa added.
"True, true," Nezu agreed, taking a sip of tea.
"It is smelling really good so far," Juzo stated. "And that's just the start of it."
"Wonder what they will make?" Tokage asked, wanting to see what would be coming.
"Pimenta Dioica is not an easy spice to use, it will be a great dish if he uses it right like I hope." Lunch Rush said.
"We have faith in him~!" Both Eri and Kota cheered.
"Far too pure... I can't cheer against Midoriya if the kids look so hopeful for his victory!" Monoma said in despair.
"I thought you were getting over that?" Kaibara asked him.
"I am, just a bit of ribbing is all. He needs someone to keep him on edge."
"Suuuuuuure!" many rolled their eyes.
Monoma huffed playfully. He then played ham, "Oh you wound me so~"
In truth he could easily retrieve every spice he needed from the System's Dimensional Storage, or whatever the name was, but just saying he had hidden pockets with spice jars inside was easier to explain compared to having access to the powers of an Extra-Dimensional Entity..
"That's... Very paranoid..." the Dessert King admitted, taken aback.
"I am in enemy territory, I could not just wing it." the Young Chef answered while cutting some garden radish into cute little circular slices he then carved into small flowers.
"... Is that overly-detailed carving necessary?" Minato asked.
"You tell me, isn't a good plate supposed to also be good looking? Eyes too play a part in the enjoyment of a Dish! Either building a dish in a manner simple, complicated or minimalist, a Chef should always put great care in the final product!"
"Well said!" the man answered, smiling pleased.
"Stop praising him, Minato." Yamato hissed between clenched teeth.
"Geez, will she stop that already?" Jiro asked, rubbing her ears in pain.
"I found her hilarious instead. All that pride always looks so FUN when it comes crashing down in flames! YAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nezu said with a psychotic laugh, and soon every seat too close to him turned empty as the others switched seats. "Meanies." He said, chuckling.
"Are we sure he's not one of them in an animal form?" Toriko asked, pointing at Gaia and System.
"We know how to restrain ourselves. He doesn't. He is closer to the Incubators from the world of Madoka. Merciless little balls of psychosis." System answered.
Nezu had a scary smile on his face. "I'm sorry, what did you call me~?"
"Oh no... They just made him mad..." Mic said, sweating in fear.
"Why's that?" Tina asked, her nature getting the better of her.
"Because he was experimented on, and he hates the creature from that series..." Mic whispered back.
"Then The System knows you will be pleased to know that The System erased them. They are extinct. For daring to get in the way of one of the Hosts." There was... Something in the way the thing said that made all the present feel like their blood had frozen into a single block, even the three quirky Extra-Dimensional beings.
"... Uh... Is it the wrong time to tell you that they had a backup plan in case they somehow got all of their bodies destroyed and had others that even you couldn't sense...?" Gaia asked System, sweating and smiling sheepishly.
"The System did. The System countered. They are regretting that too." Now the voice sounds cruel.
"Even in the ones he placed in the girls they contracted with?" Gaia asked, hopefully. "Even the ones with time travel powers in case they need to restart everything, like that one time?"
"Even that. Ours was a work of pure Hatred. We are very thorough with who and what we hate."
"Shouldn't it be a Work of Love?" Iida muttered.
"Sssh! Don't correct the Eldritch Abomination..." Kaminari silenced him, scared.
Gaia hugged the System's colorful body. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I've been trying to do that for millennias, and could never seem to get them all. It's hard enough with Magical Ruby at times, though she's not bad just... made by Zelretch, of the Fate timelines, but dealing with that beast is something else."
"Took us a month. Little furry pebbles of feces had far too many countermeasures. Existing outside Time has perks." The Thing answered.
"... You did check out space as well?" Gaia asked, now worried.
"That too. We are doing routine check-ups to be sure we got everything, just in case."
Gaia let out a sigh. "Good. Because once you think they're defeated, they spring up again."
"... Can we get back to the showing before we have to think about protecting Eri...?" Izuku asked, keeping Eri's ears from the whole conversation.
"Yeah, I don't want to know what that beast they're talking about is," Coco said, his senses telling him that they were bad news and brought nothing but the shadow of death.
Everyone went back to the episode.
"Hahahaha! You sound like a philosopher when you talk like that! Not a Chef! Taste is important in a dish! Nothing else," Sadao countered, laughing in amusement while finishing preparing a few mussels, deveined shrimps and steamed clams she then added to the Saury on top of the parchment paper.
"We agree to disagree then! But still, you are making quite the adorable Cartoccio. Pot meets kettle, perhaps?" Izuku answered.
"Bleh!" the girl replied by just pulling out her tongue, she then added cherry tomatoes and mushrooms to the seafood mix, and once topped each Saury with a spoonful of her herb butter she wrapped everything inside the parchment paper and moved the wrapped fishes in the oven.
"Done! What about you?" she asked.
"Technically I am done too, the last part to finish my dish can be done just before serving, so I will wait for you to be done before getting through with it, in the meantime I will prepare a Baby Spinach sauce as a side dressing... Normally I would leave the spinach just steamed a bit so as to use the leaves as a decoration, but if I don't do something to pass the time while we wait I will go insane." Izuku admitted.
"We can play cards if you want!"
"It's okay, I'll keep myself occupied with the sauce," he answered, smiling gratefully.
"Okay!" the other answered, more than happy to just whip-out her phone to watch some funny videos online.
"... That's it, it's official, she is physically unable to take anything seriously!" Mako, King Number 1, declared with a groan of disbelief.
Mina smirked. "I like Sadao more and more~"
"Reminds me of Nejire." Mirio said, chuckling.
"Yep!" Tamaki added.
"I can see it~ She and I would make great friends~" she agreed.
"How much do you want to bet Izuku will charm her somehow?" Yuga asked, holding his giggle back with his hand.
"No bet. The guy could charm a rock." Manga answered.
"HEY!" The girls replied, frowning.
"Oh, don't give us that, he might actually if he meets a Female Rock Golem in a fantasy world or something," Kaminari stated.
"... Why do I actually see that as a possibility...?" Ochako asked, seeing Izuku in a fantasy world like that.
Twenty Minutes later -
DING!
The sound of the egg-shaped alarm cut through the silent room like a searing-hot blade, causing Sadao to almost drop her phone in surprise.
"Ready?" Izuku asked while giving a last filtering to the baby spinach sauce to make sure it was extra smooth and free of lumps.
"Yes! This is my Special Pacific Saury Flavor-bomb Cartoccio! What about you? Are you done?" she answered while opening the cartoccios and inundating the room in a pleasing scent of cooked fish.
https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fshokugekinosoma%2Fimages%2Fe%2Fec%2FAutumn_Pacific_Saury_Cartoccio_(anime).png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160902161414&f=1&nofb=1
"That does smell really good," Momo said.
"I wonder what Izuku's will be like?" Tsu pondered.
"Hmmm... Hopefully something more respectful of the Theme." Setuno said, thoughtful.
"Uh?"
"A bit too many Ingredients for a thematic dish," Komatsu added.
"Is that a bad thing?" Minas asked, confused.
"Not necessarily, but it can be tricky to make sure the sea food stays the main focus if you mix too many things in," Komatsu informed her.
"Huh, I'll have to think about that."
"And in case of strict judges, you can actually lose points if the Main Character of a dish is overshadowed by other tastes, it's risky." Lunch Rush answered.
"HOLY S***! The scent of the sea!" a student gasped in wonder while her nose greedily sniffed the air.
"That's the Fish King for you! She is the greatest fish expert of them all! Second to Mako-sama herself by just a tiny margin!" a boy answered, just as amazed.
"Wow! This smells great!" Izuku admitted, impressed.
"Thank you! When the Rector Yamato told us about your Challenge I just KNEW I had to make this dish! Saury is among my favorite Ingredients because it is just so versatile! And between Cartoccio and Acqua Pazza, I knew this would be a killer!" Sadao answered while decorating the cooked Saury Cartoccio with a slice of lemon each.
"Good to know! I was afraid I misread your intentions after all!" Izuku admitted with a wide smile as he cut the Saury he seasoned into thick slices he positioned on a wide plate in a flower-like shape, then he used a brush to cover the pieces in a generous quantity of brown sauce before taking a burner and turning-on its flame.
"What are you..."
"Acqua what?" Toru asked.
"The term acqua pazza (pronounced [ˈakkwa ˈpattsa]; (literally crazy water in Italian) is used in Italian cuisine to refer to a recipe for poached white fish, or to simply refer to the lightly herbed broth used to poach it. There are many different variations of this sauce, from light broths, to thick tomato based sauces, which have been found on all types of seafood (not just the traditional white fish), and even chicken. This dish is comparable to other Italian dishes, such as: Cioppino, cacciucco and brodetto." Komatsu Explained.
"Huh, sounds really good," Toru stated.
"It is! If done properly." Rush said.
FWOOOOOSH!
Many gasped in surprise at watching the green-haired Chef mercilessly scorching his plates without a hint of fear, but many more turned shocked at the intense amazing scent the dishes started emanating once he was done with the burning.
"HOW THE F*** DOES BURNING FISH RELEASE THIS AMAZING SCENT!? WHAT JOKE IS THIS?!"
"It matches the scent of Sadao's dish! How?!"
"Many usually use Kaeshi for ramen and noodle dishes only, but that really is a multi-purpose seasoning that can be used in a myriad different recipes, it truly is a staple of Japanese cooking! AND the right trick to use to make Scorched Carpaccio, isn't that right, Chef Izuku?" Minato said with shining eyes and a smirk once seen the young man give a rapid 'Fire Bath' to the Saury Carpaccio once finished brushing the sauce on the surface of all the plates he prepared.
"Huhuhu! Correct! Even with a powerful burner like yours, burning the surface of fish in the proper way is difficult, but using Kaeshi it becomes easy thanks to its sugar content! And it also acts as an insulator of sorts and protects the Saury from most of the heat, preventing loss of freshness from the continued influx of heat since I only need to scorch the fish surface fat, not the meat inside." Izuku answered, smiling proudly at himself.
Once satisfied with the scorching, he also added the Saury Fat Dressing sauce and the Baby Spinach sauce on top and around the fish slices before topping everything with the flowers of radish.
"Scorched Saury Carpaccio, my dish is ready." Izuku declared once every plate was composed.

"Oh man, Midoribro doesn't disappoint~!" Kirashima shouted.
"Simple but of great effect!" Setsuno said, chuckling.
"Simple and Clean," Xara said, punning a Song Title.
"... Was that a pun?" Jiro asked.
"A bad one." He'arth, Joy and Coco said in chorus.
"Heeeeeeey!" Xara answered with a childish whine. "Besides, I have to represent my reality."
"Just excuses for bad puns."
"Marsh-Marsh!"
"Eh! Heard better jokes."
"Boo! Get down the stage!"
Many answered with playful smirks.
"You people are assholes!" Xara said, huffing playfully. "And here I was going to give you Stands based off some of my favorite songs and artists~ But if you don't want them-"
Just then Tetsutetsu and Kirashima bowed, and apologized to him. "WE'RE SORRY, PLEASE DON'T TAKE AWAY SUCH A MANLY GIFT!"
"They caved quickly," Coco stated. "... Though why does the word Stand sound familiar...?"
Toriko thought for a second. "Did I face someone before with a power like that...?"
Izuku and All Might had that same feeling, but didn't know why.
"... Are they getting memories from other universes now?" Gaia asked them in a whisper.
"... Maybe, that can happen from time to time," Light informed.
"This aroma. Sadao's dish is literally an explosion of flavor as the name implies, but Midoriya's own is just as strong, but instead focused like a blade. I wonder who between them complimented best the delicate taste of the Pacific Saury." King 2 muttered with his eyes narrowed, focused fully on Izuku's face.
"Miss Yamato was right, that guy is a Monster. We should not underestimate him, IF he wins against Sadao-chan as well!" Dessert King answered, thoughtful.
"Where does he come from? Knowing Miss Yamato, a Talent like his would normally be something she would do everything to snatch...Then why instead he is here as our Enemy?" Mako wondered with a low voice.
"You heard him, he-"
"That is not a good-enough excuse, there must be something else behind this!" she interrupted the other girl with a hiss.
"We will proceed with the Taste Test. Sadao, you first." Yamato said once seen both Chefs deliver their plates to her, Minato and the other Kings.
"Oh, my. It does look nice." Takeo, Vegetable King, admitted once pried open the fish meat with his chopsticks.
"Yes, she did an acceptable job, this time." Mako conceded, huffing.
"Tone it down a little, nobody likes Frosty Bitches, Mako-chan!" Dessert King Michiko jokingly warned her.
"Think she and Bakugou would date~?" Mina asked in a teasing voice. "Their personalities match~"
"Fuck no! I like my girls quieter! I am already loud by myself! I would need a level-headed, cold badass girl to balance me out! Not a frosty cunt! It would mean me and her angering each other in a never ending circle of Ego otherwise!" Katsuki answered.
"... You take a lot after your mother then," Inko stated.
"Ah! It runs in the blood then." Melk said, impressed.
"I'm nothing like that old ba-!"
"Katsuki Bakugou..." Inko stated in an icy voice that made even the spirits shiver in fright. "What were you just about to call your mother?"
"Nothing ma'am."
"Damn... She can be scary when she wants to be..." Daigoro said.
"Remind me not to make her mad..." Zaus stated.
"MAKO-SAMA!"
"WE LOVE YOU!"
"QUEEN MAKO!" Many boys yelled in rapture at seeing the Soup King show a tiny sneer of annoyance.
"Except those guys..." Michiko added, sighing.
"Focus!" Yamato barked angrily, silencing the other Kings while studying the wobbly piece of Saury she grabbed from the plate.
A lot of people sweatdropped at all the people's reactions to that Mako girl.
"Damn Simps. They are damn everywhere." Tsuyu said, groaning.
"Same in your world too, huh...?" Tina asked with a sweatdrop.
"They are a curse." Mirko grumbled.
"I must admit the cooking method chosen was excellent, it does put on display the natural taste of the Pacific Saury. You also managed to control the natural Oily feeling of its meat and diminish its intense fishy smell down to almost zero and leave just enough to maintain the feeling of Sea evoked by the scent. Good choice of supplementary Ingredients too, the Acqua Pazza made with the mussels, shrimps and clams helped supporting the main Ingredient and are all a pleasure to eat, especially the steamed clams, that even if cooked in two different methods, remain pleasantly springy and flavorful. You gave your Dish the perfect name, it's a real Sea-Flavor bomb while remaining melty sweet and tender at the same time. Congratulations!" Minato said with a pleased tone.
"I second the judgment. You used the Pacific Saury almost perfectly, especially its thick meat, I could chew this forever and never get tired." Takeo confirmed with a dashing smile. Several girls swooned again, all for Izuku and the other Kings' chagrin.
"Sadao-chan is a bona fide Fish Expert, always a pleasure eating what she makes!" Michiko added with a thumbs-up.
"Good it's good, but the Ingredient was the Pacific Saury, nothing else, you gave too much importance to everything else. The Saury should have ruled supreme...It is still good, though." Mako said, uninterested.
"Hey! Cheer up a little! What your friend made tastes amazing and it's also very nicely presented! Do not be a stick in the mud and enjoy it, this dish is good!" Izuku answered, annoyed a little, he had already finished his portion and was not ashamed to show he liked it.
"Thank you, maybe in the end I DID make it a bit cute too, other than good tasting!" Sadao said with a mischievous smile while eating her own Cartoccio.
"That you did!" Izuku answered, smiling.
"Those two are getting along quite well," Inko said, smiling warmly. "Wonder if she'd be friends if they met sooner?"
"She looks far too nice to be part of that group, at least she is friendly." Ochaco said.
"Far more than Mako, that's for sure." Momo added.
"Think she'd work for Izuku if she was given the chance?" Kaminari asked them.
"Maybe," Iida thought about it.
Just then, Izuku's dish appeared in front of everyone.
"Looks like we're about to try it soon," Toriko said with a smile on his face.
"Does look good," FatGum agreed.
"Then this is obviously a win for Sadao. I am sorry, boy, but your defeat was a given! Get out and do not bother us anymore." Yamato said with an evil smile.
"..."
"..."
"...What?" she asked.
"Mom, you are becoming annoying, we have not even tried his dish yet." Minato said while massaging his forehead to push back the incoming migraine his mother caused.
"Tch! It's just some raw fish slightly burned with fire! You can't expect it to be better than...Than...Than..." the old woman tried saying while despondently shoving a slice of the Scorched Carpaccio in her mouth, and growing unhealthy pale while her eyes bulged-out.
"Man, that woman is annoying..." Ryuko said, eye twitching. She then took a bite of her own, and smiled widely. "So good~!"
"Just burned raw fish! AH! Simplicity sometimes is best!" Jirou said, munching happily.
"She's just trying to win by any means," Toriko said, upset. That changed when he took a bite of his own dish.
"In a way too desperate manner at that!" Fatgum answered, eating happily. "I wonder how personal it is, I hope we will discover that soon!"
"True," the Big Three all agreed, all eating with joy, well as much joy as one of them could show.
"So good~!" Eri cheered.
"Eat all you want, fish is good for growing children!" Izuku said, cuddling her nonstop.
"Marsh-shadow-shadow!" Marshadow added, rudding his cheek on Eri's.
"Then I'll eat as much as well," Kota declared.
"T-The Sauce of Pacific Saury innards! He prepared it just by adding oil and vinegar to the fish's fat and part of the innards and yet the taste is permeating my tongue! And is making the sweetness of the Fish meat stand-out so much it's making me drown in its taste!" Michiko admitted, shocked.
"How many spices did you use?!" Takeo asked, just as surprised.
"Only the Pimento, or Allspice. Depending on which name you want to use. Those Pacific Sauries were already good by themselves, adding more sounded like a waste, so I just tried enriching and polishing that flavor with a couple small pushes from the sauces and the spice." Izuku answered, shrugging.
"If Sadao created a bomb of flavor, yours was a single bullet from a sniper rifle: no waste, no fanfare and no collateral damages! One Strike, One Kill! Only pure Pacific Saury Flavor, marvelous!" Minato admitted, clapping a little.
"Thank you. What do you think about it, Sadao-sa-"
"NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM!..." Izuku's question died a messy death when he saw Sadao eat with zero manners her own portion of Scorched Carpaccio and even licking the plate over and over until it SHONE.
"Glad you liked it." he said, unsure.
"You are a lady, show some manners!" Mako chastised her while still mid-licking of her own plate.
"Pot, Kettle, have you met?" Sunni asked in a deadpan.
"And she scolds her for doing such," Yuga agreed.
"Hahahaha! Come on! I find it a nice compliment! Licking the plate may not be elegant, but it shows that they liked it!" Izuku said, laughing happily.
"Well said." Zaus answered.
"..." Izuku lifted his fist.
"... Huhuhu! Sure!" He answered, chuckling and fist-bumping him.
"Maybe I should eat more dishes for the mind," Melissa said, starting to mutter, while writing down notes on a datapad she created. "Fish is a good source of it, as well as others. I had noticed my powers were a bit stronger due eating such things. I can feel it right now, but not a full Quirk Evolution yet... Might need to to get food items with stronger effects and-mutter, mutter, mutter."
"Oh god it's spreading," Izuku said in horror.
"Aww! You even match in mumbling! You are really made for each other!" Toshinori gushed happily.
"HEEEEEEEEEY!" the other girls growled.
"What?"
"Toshinori, you really have no idea how to handle horny teenage girls." Nighteye muttered with a sigh of dismay. "You are the last person that can show favoritism in this race of theirs."
"What? She's my niece, I should get to tease her~" All Might said, laughing.
" STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!"
"Then again, having a bunch of hormonal girls glaring at me may not be worth it..." He then muttered while doing everything in his power to avoid the combined glare of every other girl.
"It's like watching a pack of hyenas stalking a limping prey." Mt. Lady admitted, watching the scene in fascination.
"You're one of them..." Kamui and Death Arms stated flatly, while Teppe wrote it down.
"...I give up..." Takeo muttered in dismay while trying to ignore her.
Cough! "We will proceed with the vote, who do you think won?" Minato asked, fake-coughing to cover his own embarrassment.
"I vote for Midoriya...Sorry." Takeo said, smiling uneasily.
"It's okay, Take-chan! I'll do better next time!" Sadao reassured him with a thumbs-up.
"I vote for Sadao-chan!" Michiko said with a wink.
"Thank you!"
"Midoriya, at least he used the Pacific Saury ONLY." Mako said.
"You are a picky eater." Sadao answered, pouting.
"I will have to vote for Midoriya as well, my apologies, but I must recognize the ability needed to bring-out such amazing flavor with so little Ingredients." Minato said with a sorry expression.
"No harm done, Sir! I loved it too!"
"..."
"Yamato-san?" Sadao asked.
"Get out of my school." the old woman answered with a low, defeated voice.
"BOOO!" Most of the watchers shouted at the screen, mostly the kids.
"Booo!"
"NEMURI!" Aizawa yelled in disappointment.
"What? She deserves it! She is even worse than you!"
"HEY! Let's slow down with gratuitous insults! I am leagues better than her!" He answered, appalled, and glared with his Quirk at her.
"Hehehe! Got you!" Nemuri answered, sticking-out her tongue.
"Grsbhbutfubtsy..." Aizawa grumbled something incomprehensible, but clearly not a compliment while crossing his arms in childish anger.
"She is starting to give me a headache..." both Melk and Tina said, rubbing their heads in annoyance.
"Guessing you've had to deal with these kinds of people in your work?" Mic asked the two, knowing the feeling as well.
"People with their head so far up their butts oxygen doesn't get to their brain." Tina said with a depressed tone.
"Egocentric know-it-all that treats every slight bump on the road as a disaster that they MUST tell you about..." Melk added.
"AND WITH SUCH A FRAGILE EGO A SNEEZE BREAKS IT AND MAKES THEM SNAP AND GO KAREN! WE KNOW!" Both women finished saying, looking miserable.
Mic groaned, looking the same. "I know what you mean, I get that kinda thing from time to time in my radio station.... More so thanks to all the bad publicity we've been getting from all the attacks..."
All three were slumped in their seats with a gloom cloud over them.
"Wow... That got harsh fast..." Cemetoss states, feeling sorry for the three.
"Go back to your seat, Sadao. You are still a student here." Minato subverted the order.
"I-"
"SILENCE! You are already giving a sad spectacle! Don't think I won't reign you in just because you are my mother!" the man roared, shocking his mother.
"But-But-But..."
"I am saving you from yourself. Sadao gave her best and that's all that matters. She is still a first year student, she can still get a lot better if you give her a chance! Wasting talent just to appease your tantrums won't help nobody, not them and especially NOT YOU. Now calm down and be a proper, professional Chef, or else I will take over and select a new Judge to take your place." Minato said with narrowed eyes.
"Okay..." Yamato conceded with a small voice, her body losing every ounce of fight she had at the beginning.
"Good, I will still keep you grounded, because I know you are not a bully, but a great Chef, and I want to preserve THAT part of you. Michiko, you are next, are you ready?" he asked.
"Of course! I need to avenge Sadao-chan!" the short girl answered.
"My Hero!" Sadao answered with an exaggerated swoon while retaking her seat next to Takeo once delivered one of her knives to Izuku with her name written along the blade with a permanent marker (she also added a cute little heart next to it, apparently a fixed part of her signature).
"... I'm not sure if she did that to flirt or just her way of sighing..." Midnight said, unsure. "It seems to be, but I'm not too sure..."
"Nooo.... No more Rivals... I beg you, Deku-kun! Turn-off your Sexy-Bean Aura! Do it for meeeeee!" Ochaco begged with a long, childish whine while gently shaking Izuku's shoulders.
"I don't have that aura or whatever!" Izuku answered, face blushing neon red.
"Marsh-Shadow! Marsh!" The Small shadow Pokemon answered while hugging his head tightly.
"Thank you! At least somebody believes in me here!" Izuku answered, grateful.
"HEEEEEEEY!"
"And it is a skill, a fully active skill he can't turn off~" Gaia said in a sweet tone of voice.
"The System wishes there was a way to..." the System said, almost grumbling.
"What do you mean?" Kaminari asked.
"You will see. You all will see... The System's failures... All of them..."
"Gods, now they are depressed..." Joy muttered, groaning.
"It's going to be a long show." He'arth added, face-palming.
"All the power of every facet of Creation and Multiverse, and they still can't defeat this dude's Chick Magnet powers." Xara added.
"Shirou's is going to be Ten Times more powerful~" Gaia added in, coving her mouth to hold her giggles back.
The System's body started to spasm. "Please don't try to see if they can get an aneurysm..." Joy groaned out.
"Well Shirou would be more open, seeing he wants to feel love after his memories and emotions were almost all burnt away due to the Fire of Fuyuki," Gaia said, sounding soriful for the red-haired boy and her sister's manipulations.
"... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@!" There was no way to describe the terrifying sound released by The System, which made souls bleed and shook flesh down to the molecular level. Thankfully the watcher's were safe.
"SORRY!" Gaia yelled in panic. "I just want Shirou to be happy for once and not a tool!"
"WE TOLD YOU!" Joy, He'arth and Xara shrieked in panic as well.
"I said I was sorry!"
The spirits groaned, holding their heads. "Not to self... Try not to annoy the System to that point..." Yoichi groaned.
"Agreed... the other vestiges, Knocking Master, and Zaus agreed.
"...That guy is tearing through us like a tank." Takeo muttered with a low whisper and his eyes fixed on the wooden cabinet Izuku brought along now containing two Knives belonging to their fellow Kings.
"This time Miss Yamato tickled a dragon's nose once too many, and now we have to deal with the catastrophe." Mako answered.
"...I will use my Secret Weapon, you?" he asked.
"Me too, conventional dishes won't cut it this time...Flavor Demon."
"As you said, he deserves our worst, Molecular Devil." Takeo answered, eyes narrowed.
"Very well, we'll have a ten minute pause to clean everything and let young Midoriya catch his breath a little." Minato declared, nor he or anybody else heard what Takeo and Mako said.
"No need to worry, but I will use these ten minutes to recover an Ingredient for my Dessert Dish, since I can see apples being washed and prepared to be our chosen Ingredient." Izuku answered with a grateful smile.
"Something we can get for you?"
"No, no. I have those already ready back to my place." he answered before motioning Whitey to come closer.
"Host?" the robot asked.
"I need..." what the young Chef whispered to the robot, nobody heard, but they all saw the big chubby robot scratch his round bald head with one of his big hands before nodding.
"Understood." Whitey answered, before opening the door of the classroom and-
"So mysterious! It's a mysterious Mystery!" Tooru said, chuckling.
"Hyyyyyype!" Mina echoed.
"You two get so excited by the smallest of things," Jiro stated.
"We do not," both said.
"What's wrong with that? Even the smallest things can bring a bit of fun to life!" Izuku said, smiling.
Pony nodded in agreement. "Yes, I agree~!"
"See, Kyoka? Icchan and Pony understand!" Mina said while sitting on Izuku's left leg.
"They are not a stick in the mud like you!" Tooru added, sitting on Izuku's right leg.
"That's why he is a good boy and Pony a good friend!" Both girls said at the same time, smushing their cheeks against Izuku's. Pony glomps them in a group hug.
Izuku was beet red again.
BOOOOOM!
Tear a new one to the Sound Barrier while running to the Green Cloud Restaurant and back in the ten minutes of pause Minato gave him and carrying a small jar of dull glass.
"Perfect! Thank you!" Izuku said with a grateful tone.
"That thing ran back and forth between here and your personal kitchen in ten minutes? Where do you live?"
"Yavin Street."
"AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CITY?!"
"Whitey is very fast." Izuku answered, smirking.
"Even too much!"
In truth Whitey only covered half the distance before the System summoned the glass jar in his hands, Izuku insisted on secrecy so this little lie had to be organized.
"Secrecy is a must..." System said.
"Feeling better?" Gaia asked with a gentle smile.
"... Maybe."
"I am here, okay?" She said,
"Okay."
"Glad to see you're better, System," Nezu said cheerfully. "Don't need you terrorizing the kids~ That's my job after all~"
"I'm sorry, what?" Toriko asked, shocked.
"At least he is honest about it." Coco answered, rolling his eyes.
"Can't tell if that is a good or a bad thing." Knocking Master added, shaking his head.
"Neutral at best.." Aizawaz said in a dull voice.
"Oh! Ah-ah!" You others are naturally-born comedians." Nezu said, rolling his eyes.
"Still, what are you planning?" Setsuno asked.
"That's the thing, this time I don't have a clue." Zaus admitted.
"Neither do I." Izuku added.
"Well that's helpful..." Togaru stated flatly.
"That should be worrying instead. It means Midoriya-kun is fusing together his Crazy plans with Zaus-san's insane cooking experience. Who knows what the hell he will make!" Iida admitted, worried.
"... Okay now I'm scared..."
"Hohohohoh! SO exciting!" Setsuno answered.
"I am eager to see what you will come up with, but rest assured that it will still be useless! Your defeat will be sweet, though, so don't feel too bad!" The bold claim came from Michiko as soon as she started slowly preparing a pot filled to the brim in boiling caramel.
"I admit I am not exactly a dessert-oriented Chef, I prefer to branch out as much as I can and cook following as many different styles possible, but this doesn't mean I won't give my all!" he answered.
"Good! Because I want to SMASH that smile of yours into dust!" the Dessert King answered as she took out more plates and pots.
"Hn?" Izuku uttered, confused.
"Watch and be amazed! I will now prepare a cheese mousse, apple jelly, blue cheese cream and a sponge cake made with crushed walnuts, AT THE SAME TIME!" the short girl declared with a crazed smile.
"How do you plan to do all that, alone?" the young Chef asked.
"By going all-out, you Quirkless Loser!" she answered while throwing away her own bandanna and unfolding the tentacles on her head.
To everybody's shock Michiko's tentacle hair then sprang to life and divided into two groups: six held a plate each while the others held the utensils, meaning that together with her own hands, she could prepare seven different parts of her dish at the same time.
"Wasn't No Quirks part of the rules?" Kirishima asked, confused.
"It seems like she decided to ignore that." Tetsutetsu answered, snarling.
"They didn't explicitly say that, but considering that as far as they know, Midoriya-san is Quirkless, it should have been an unspoken rule they wouldn't have used theirs. For the sake of fairplay." Jurota said, looking at the girl on screen in great disappointment.
Izuku's eyes lit up, ideas of using Black Whip in the same way running though his mind and him writing it down. "If I can do the same with my other Quirks like her, I can make things faster and use more tools at once with my already heightened speed and strength. Not only that, adding the other Quirks as well could triple if not Quadruple my work efficiency in cooking. I was already planning on having Smoke Screen as a smoker but could what I eat change the composition of the snake and give new and unique flavors. That's not to mention having Gearshift and Fa Jin to speed up cooking time as well. Not to mention this can be good training for my Quirks as well, unconventional training and all, and- mutter, mutter, mutter!"
Zaus and All Might smiled. "Seems he's taking both aspects of his life seriously," Zaus stated.
"Yes, I am proud of my Heir." Toshinori said, choking while crying in pride.
"..."
"Put down that notebook." Sero said, slapping away the small thing from Shoto's hands.
"But he sounds like a proud father!"
"We saw Midoriya's father on the screen!"
"You can't be certain! Maybe it is only a cover to hide the truth!" Shoto said with a sinister glint in his eyes and entire yards of red threads connecting non-existent proofs to others inside his brain.
"Oh, for the love of god..." The others muttered in dismay.
"Well Mrs. Midoriya is wanting to date him and Midnight as well, since she and her husband are in an open marriage~" Manoma piped in, wanting to see the chaotic fireworks.
"Why did you have to remind him!?" the 1-A Students shouted.
"That makes so much sense!" Shoto muttered with a low voice.
"NO IT DOESN'T, YOU CONSPIRACY MANIAC!" The others yelled in disbelief.
Nezu saw this and was laughing.
A duo of tentacles was already boiling the apples for the jelly, another was holding up a pestle to crush the walnuts they will then mix with eggs, two were expertly preparing a pot-full of Matcha Green Tea leaves she will soon put to boiling while others were mixing the two kinds of cheese until each turned into a fluffy cream.
Michiko herself instead was mixing Cranberry Juice with Gelatin to create a Cranberry Nappage (Nappage is a kind of glazing used when preparing sweets.)
"THIS IS MY SECRET TECHNIQUE! THE Seven-in-One Cooking Frenzy!" Michiko said with a maniacal laughter.
"T-There it is! They say she can challenge an entire Team by herself thanks to her Quirk!" a student gasped in awe.
"...So you all have decided to leave behind any sense of decency and will start using your Quirk? Fair enough." Izuku answered with a tone of disappointment.
"Why should they limit themselves? It's not their fault if you don't have one!" Yamato answered, happy to ridicule him.
"As you wish, if that's how you see things, I have all the more reasons to wipe that smirk off your face..." the Young Chef said, giving a twirl of the knife in his hand and...
SWIIIING!
With the loud and sharp sound of a blade cutting through air, his hand became a blur that moved in a straight line through the apples still untouched in front of him.
"... I mean... Shouldn't a chief not use all their tools...?" Hanta asked, confused and curious. "Don't get me wrong, but a Quirk is just a tool and much as a knife."
"True, but consider this... If they go all out, then Icchan goes all out, and uses his full skills as Zaus... Skills of a Chef of a completely different world, can they keep up then?..." Setsuno answered with a meaningful look.
"It's mostly HIM limiting himself, more than limiting the others." Sanni added.
"Just think what would happen if your Izuku did that, with Zaus' skills, His Quirks, Keyblade and a Goddamn RPG system~" Joy said, laughing.
"... It wouldn't be a fight... I would be a massacre..." Momo eeped out.
"... Damn..." the Four Kings said in awe, picturing it in their minds.
"... Okay, maybe I shouldn't have asked..." Hanta said, paling.
"No shame in asking," Zaus stated. "It's nice of you to ask."
Plop! Plop! Plop!...
And one after another, every fruit lost its peel in an instant and got sliced into perfectly-identical slices thin as a hair while a small amount of extra-thin apple peel appeared right next to Izuku.
"..." Astounded silence fell in the room as Yamato's mouth hung slightly open.
"I don't like Quirkists as I believe people's value is not measured on the Power of their Quirk, but in the strength of their beliefs, and if I have to fight everybody in order to teach you fools a lesson, then so be it!"
"H-H-Hoy! What happened?!" Sadao asked with a shriek.
"He peeled and cut all those apples at the same time...With just one swing..." Takeo answered, unsure.
"That is impossible! Do you know how many Laws of Physics would need to be ignored for that to happen?!" Mako answered.
"Will Host start infusing Gourmet Energy in his Dishes?" the System asked.
"No need. I didn't do it before, and I won't do it now either! I will just up the level of Skills I will show!" Izuku answered, it was a matter of principles, if he used that Power to increase the flavor of his dishes, then he wouldn't be different from somebody using their Quirk, and the Challenge originally stated that no Powers were to be used, sure it was an unspoken Rule, but that didn't change its value!
While Michiko was finishing her outrageous preparation of several Ingredients at once, the young Chef had instead just reached the final stage of his kneading of two different kinds of dough he had mixed by hand, he was in fact giving the last slaps to the smaller ball of dough of the two.
Both finished spheres were whitish in color and almost unnaturally smooth, looking more similar to balls of marble than actual food.
"The first part is done, now I need to add my Secret Weapon to both and knead them again..." Izuku muttered with a shaken breath.
"He made both Bread Dough and Tart Dough, what is he planning to do?" Michiko muttered with narrowed eyes, and watched with bated breath as he finally used the mysterious jar he sent his robot bodyguard to recover.
"Wonder what this Secret Weapon is?" Hound Dog pondered.
"He is making two kinds of doughs, Bread and Tart, so something that will work on both?" Lunch Rush guessed.
"I kind of remember something similar I did back in the days. A dish I made for a wedding... I wonder if he is making that." Zaus wondered.
"Oooh! I think I know which one you are talking about! I always wanted to try those!" Setsuno answered, laughing.
"Oh, yeah, I read that~!" Komatsu shouted in joy. "It was one of your best cakes to date~"
"Now you really got us interested," Nemuri said.
POP! FWOOOOOOSH!
When the young Chef opened the jar, there was no apparent scent coming out of it, but then he poured a minuscule deep-red drop of liquid from it into the two types of dough he was kneading and an explosion of aroma washed over the entire room with every student standing rooted on the spot, the boys only felt an amazingly-sweet flower scent assault them, but the girls had another reaction altogether.
"ROSES!" one girl squealed, as she unknowingly had the same daydream of her friends.
Each girl saw herself as the main character of a Fairy Tale: A Princess standing on a long path of white cobblestone with at both sides an endless field of red roses cut in half by that small road, red petals flying everywhere around them bringing along the flower's delicate scent, and at the opposite end of the pure-white path there was their 'Prince Charming' flashing a heart-melting smile and wearing a majestic silver armor, with his hand stretched-out as if beckoning them to reach him.
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/17/50/5a/17505ab51883d7680d360c0255da5369.gif
(Momo would also be miffed to death at knowing how quite a few of those girls were also unashamedly putting Izuku in the role of the Prince Charming.)
"HOOOOLY CRAAAAAP!" The watchers reeled back, as if physically pushed back by the scent of the jar being unleashed.
A lot of the girls, and Tamakibut even if he wouldn't say it outloud, watching that had a crush on Izuku had the same imagination, seeing Izuku a Knightly Prince that had magic and a Royal Sword.
For Inko and Nemuri, they saw Toshinori and Hisashi as Knights, one a true warrior in shining armor, the other a Fire Swordsman Shogan, Protecting the two women.
Rin saw Toriko as a food Knight Prince, using a spoon as a shield and a gait cooking knife as a sword.
Melk saw Komatsu as a scared Knight, but with the determination to move forward into battle to help not only her but those he sees as friends.
Tina saw Mic as a knight that uses a sound barrier around her to keep her safe while fighting off bandits with a sword of pure sound.
And Eri saw Izuku, Mirio and Kota as three brother princes, fighting to protect her from a demon Chisaki, a water barrier around her from Kota, all three smiling in the face of danger to protect her.
"Looks like the girls are being affected as well~" Recovery Girl teased.
"Indeed~" Sestuno agreed, both ladies laughing.
"To be young again. HEEEEEEY! Snap out of it!" Both women yelled in chorus.
This made all the girls 'eep' and blush, forcing them out of their daydreams.
"Leave daydreaming for later please, we are getting to the meat of cooking duel. Please head in the game." Nighteye said.
"... Did you just make a pun...?" Toshinori asked his old partner, surprised.
"I have a good sense of humor, contrary to you, Toshinori. So yes, I did." The man answered, fixing his glasses with a smile.
"You having a tickle torture machine would say otherwise..." All Might said, sweat dripping.
"He has a what now?" Toriko asked, shocked.
"Don't ask..."
"It looks nice in the office, and it was on sale." Nighteye added, shrugging.
"WHO HAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON SALE!?" the Toriko group shouted.
"Rose essence? And one so strong? If he is not careful, that much aroma will make everything inedible!" Minato muttered, surprised.
"How can you make a rose extract so strong?!" Michiko asked with wide eyes.
"Secret Recipe." Izuku answered, unconcerned, too focused on preparing the dough properly to summon enough brain-power to properly answer or even just look at her.
With the Rose Extract provided by the System, Izuku needed to focus fully on the quantity and flavor distribution, because it was not a Normal Rose Extract one could ideally make home or buy! This one had been purified by him using his knowledge as Zaus and the System's own help, a serum purified enough times it was now 99.99% pure, any misstep would be a catastrophe! Just a spoonful contained the essence of several hectares of red roses, he HAD TO be careful!
At the same time he added some Rose Extract to a big pot of water as well and soaked the apple slices together with some extract from the apple peels, and left the slices rest untouched to the side before returning to focus on the dough.
"Oh, by the way Sato, we're going to have you take a drop of that~" Joy informed the Sugar Rush user.
"Do I have to?"
"It won't kill you... We believe." He'arth said. "Though you might go through what Ryuku did if it actually works."
"We'll have medical supplies nearby if need be," Gaia added.
"... Not filling me up with confidence you know..."
"Wimp." Xara said.
"XARA!" He'arth and Joy yelled, appalled.
"I kidd!"
"Do you think you'll have plant powers to go with your powers?" Kaminari asked Sato to take his mind off what the Beings were saying.
"You mean like Poison Ivy?" Sato tried saying.
"Yeah, only not as sexy."
"I resent that!" Sato said, gasping. Everyone then laughed at the joke.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
The Scented balls of dough were then continuously slapped and kneaded until they all became faintly pink and utterly smooth spheres, done so that he simply kept them neatly separated in smaller parts on a side.
"Now...The rest of the apples..." once satisfied with that, Izuku started to simmer some of the remaining apples with apple cider vinegar and water, and once turned them into a cream, he added normal butter and tirelessly mixed everything until perfectly fused together.
"Apple Butter and apple confiture... Can he really balance both roses and apples in a single dish?" Minato muttered while studying every movement of Izuku.
"Creating pure Rose Extract with that level of aroma is already ridiculously hard, but actually managing to slowly soak that rose flavor into the apple slices in the right amount, together with the extra apple flavor from the apple peel extract to reach the right balance, is even more insanely difficult...Where does this brat come from?" Yamato thought in anger while biting down one of her nails, her own blood-shot eyes were fixated on Izuku's.
And a tiny feeling of fear of the boy started blooming in her heart.
"I was right! He is making those tarts! Amazing! And with Dear System-san's help I believe he will make an improved version of it." Zaus said, chuckling.
"Oh, those were wonderful," Setsuno agreed, remembering those. "And if these are better than what you created before, I cannot wait to try them."
"You two did try to see who could improve them~" Knocking Master stated, chuckling.
"It's not as easy as it sounds, since Zaus' recipe is already walking on an extremely delicate balance of taste, so improving it is a very damn beast to tame." Setsuno explained.
"I tried several times, but there was always something missing. I wonder if the powers of an Extra-Dimensional Being can find that something." Zaus added, thoughtful.
"The System did, and multiple types for multiple occasions," the System informed.
"Now I am envious, even if he is myself." Zaus admitted, laughing.
"You think Komatsu can do it, since he's going to be our world's God of Cooking?" Toriko asked.
Komatsu sweatdropped. "... Maybe, if I can hear the ingredients..." he answered.
With Michiko the Dessert King -
"Damnit! That thing is a scent bomb! But there is no need to worry, he is using two Ingredients only, I am using EIGHT!" the young woman thought while creating small disks of sponge cake batter she then moved into the oven to cook.
"You may use the Young scent of roses, but I will use the nostalgic taste of Autumn! Let's see which one will come out as the winner!" she declared.
"So it will be Spring (Youth) VS Autumn (Maturity)? Okay, I accept the challenge!" Izuku answered.
"You will regret challenging me, Quirkless." Michiko muttered darkly.
"Getting repetitive! Very weak bullying that one." Katsuki said, scoffing.
"And you are an expert in that." Shoto answered.
"... Shut-up..." Katsuki muttered, looking away.
"At least you're not proud of it," Aizawa muttered.
"We still need to look deeper into schools more," Nezu said, still smiling, but had a menacing aura around him, and what looked like either a Stand, Persona, or Appetite Demon appearing behind the intelligent animal.
"... Is he forming an Appetite demon...?" Toriko asked in actual fear.
"Or a Stand/Persona..." Mic said, sweating bullets.
"Or all three..." Mirko said, her instinct telling her to run.
"Or just projecting one just out of malice. Knowing him." Aizawa answered, rolling his eyes.
"I could be doing all that together~" Nezu said, a little too chipperly, and drinking his tea.
"... Wouldn't put it past him, even just to make a nuisance of himself." Nana answered, sighing.
"You hurt my feelings, Dear Nana! I thought we were friends!" Nezu said, smirking.
"What feelings?" She countered, smirking.
"Ayee! I served you that one on a silver platter, Yahahahahaha! Nice shot!"
Everyone was shocked that Nana could go head to head with Nezu in wit.
"Me and dear Nana go way back, she was the Hero that took me out of that dreadful laboratory I was experimented in. There is a deep sense of gratitude between us, one that goes even beyond death." Nezu explained, exchanging a wink with Nana. Nana just giggled.
Some time later -
As soon as the Dessert King saw her sponge cake turning golden in color, she took the disks out of the oven and rapidly cooled them down and then giving the final touches to her side Ingredients, like the extra leaves of Matcha green Tea she was powdering at high speed thanks to her hair-tentacles handling extra knives.
"Her Dessert is clearly not simple." Minato muttered, impressed.
"She is preparing her infamous 'Autumn leaf viewing entremet', the Dish that cemented her position as the Dessert King here in this school." Yamato answered.
"Oh!"
"She is going all-out as well," the Vegetable King muttered.
"I am glad to see she is taking this seriously at least." Mako answered.
"You know she hates being Challenged, it was a given she would not show mercy."
"If her self-esteem is frail as glass, it's her fault only." the young woman answered.
"Good technique, but the thickness of the layers is completely wrong." Zaus said, shaking his head.
"Thickness and order of the layers, like that the flavors won't mix in the optimal way." Satsuno added.
"... How the hell can you tell..." Lunch Rush muttered, actually leaning forward to better see.
"You pick this up when you're cooking," Komatsu informed. "It's something you need to learn and experience."
"Kid, you are way younger than me-"
"He has ten stars, how many do you have?" Katsuki said, rolling his eyes.
"T-THAT MEANS NOTHING!" Rush yelled.
"Just answer," Nezu ordered.
"... Seven..." He answered, sighing. "They had to give me that since I can go toe-to-toe with 5 star chiefs without my Quirk."
"There. He is authorized to shit-talk you into oblivion. AND he can cook stuff that defies logic while you can't." Katsuki added with a savage smile.
Rage was forming over Lunch Rush in an aura. "THEN I WILL LEARN TO DO SO! EVEN IF I HAVE TO QUIRK EVOLVE AND GET GOURMET CELLS!"
"Suuure!"
"You can't even cook well," Izuku shot back at Katsuki. "You blow it up when it doesn't come out right."
"Hehehehe! But you see, Lil Deku-chan, I am NOT a Chef by profession! I am going to become the greatest Fu... Darn Hero ever, it's HIM that has to step-up his game or put down the chef hat for good!" Katsuki countered, smirking.
"GASP!" An overly-dramatic gasp escaped Rush while he grasped his heart.
"Oh, so the same goes for you since I'll be both a World Class Chief and the Number 1 Hero," Izuku said, smirking.
"Naah. You are out of the competition."
"HN?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"You have got all that stuff they gave you, you are officially banned from Fighting me for the Top Position as Hero for Cheating... And Doping." Katsuki said.
"So that means you're throwing in the towel because you can't compete? I thought you wanted a challenge, guess I was wrong..." Izuku said, looking away, knowing he'd struck Katsuki's ego.
"Ah-ah-aaah! Wrong again, Nerd! It's not throwing the towel if the other is cheating! It's as if we were having a marathon and you jumped in a car instead of running, you are in the wrong, and I am just a victim."
"...Goshdarnit..." Izuku muttered, annoyed. He then had an idea. "Then I guess I should take all your stuff like the hot sauce and not feed you to empower your Quirk then, seeing as it's cheating in your eyes." He then went to grab his Hammer Space Hot Sauce Rack.
"Huhuhu! You won't do that." Katsuki said, smirking. "Everybody here is Evolving, you purposely stopping me from doing that would be VERY Non-heroic. Almost shaming All Might's Legacy." He then said, smile full of fangs.
"You would know what that's like, being the bully and not the hero~" Izuku countered flawlessly.
"I know that and with time I will repent. But you? You would REALLY get down my level?"
"Has this become a cockfight?" Mirio whispered.
"So it seems..." Nighteye answered, groaning and massaging his temples.
"I think Izuku is just letting out pent-up annoyance and frustration for the last decade," Nejire said, thinking over it.
"Comprehensible, but Katsuki has decades of experience in 'Counter Arguing'. It will be an uphill battle." Iida admitted.
"Izuku's dealt with Uphill Battles for years, so that's also a factor as well," Ochaco reminded.
"I will fix that." Aizawa said, sighing and walking behind the two...
WHAM! WHAM!
"FUCK!/EEK!" The two boy's heads whipped downward from the hammer punch each got on the back of their heads.
"Drop this. You are both wrong." Aizawa said.
"Wha?!"
"Because I say so. Now shut-up, sit straight and stop bickering like 5 year olds or you will spend all the next month after we return cleaning every bathroom of the UA Campus, without gloves and with just a toothbrush." The teacher ordered, not even bothering to activate his Quirk.
"Yes Sir," both said, sweating in fear and doing just that.
Uninterested in the Judges scrutinizing stares, Michiko had finally started assembling her dish, using the sponge cake disks as the middle layer while carefully creating several layers above and under it with the various cheese creams and fruit jellies she made previously until a vaguely-spherical shape was created, she then covered the whole thing with the cranberry gelatin to turn it in a perfectly-smooth red sphere as big as a golf ball.
"Finally done! Get ready to lose, Quirkless!" the girl declared with a mocking tone while preparing a few more spheres she then moved to the fridge.
"Eh! If all your insults revolve around my lack of Quirk, sorry but you won't go far in making me feel under pressure." Izuku answered while shaking his head.
"Tch!"
While ignoring the fuming short girl brushing her caramel on an anti-adherent sheet of parchment paper to create thin perfectly-transparent shards, Izuku took note that the Apple butter was finally ready along the apple slices having been soaked in the scented water long enough to satisfy the Green-Haired Chef's requirements for his own Dish.
"Hn!" The tiny, satisfied grunt escaping his throat almost managed to freeze Michiko's blood in her veins.
"What?" she asked.
"Just that time's up and I too can now finally build my Dish!" the young man answered with an adorable eager smile while first collecting several spheres of rose-scented bread dough to knead them back into a single, bigger blob to which he then added part of the apple butter too.
"First, the Basket!" he then said while pinching the giant ball and pulling aside a long string of it while twirling it gently between his pointer and thumb.
"Basket?" Mineta, Kaminari, and Hanta asked, looking confused. "What Basket?"
"Wait for it~" Izuku said, Smirking.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
"WHAT THE?!" the students behind him cried in shock as they watched the young Chef pick-up insane speed once again to create dozens of finger-thick strands of dough he then started waving together to create an actual basket with a twirly handle arching above it, and no matter the intricate design, he was building it so fast many felt dizzy by looking at him.
"Done the basket, The Tarts!" done with the creation and decoration of the basket, the following move was building the base of the desserts: tiny cup-shaped empty tarts, those too made at ludicrous speed.
"Aaaand, in the oven!" Izuku said while carefully putting the basket and the empty tarts inside the oven to cook.
"I wonder if the apples...Yep! Perfect!" he then said once given a taste test to the soaked apple slices, now dyed into an eye-catching pink color, and since he was evidently satisfied with the results, he carefully removed them from the aroma bath to dry them.
"I-I-I have no idea what you are doing, b-but I'm not afraid of you!" Michiko said while pointing an accusing finger at him.
"Good! I am not here to scare anybody!" Izuku answered with a happy smile.
"M-My dessert will soon be ready! Then we'll see who is the winner!" she answered.
"Of course!" he replied with a thumbs-up.
"DID HE WAVE A MOTHERF-BLEEP-ING BASKET WITH DOUGH?!" Tetsutetsu asked with a shriek. The three that asked had their jaws dropped.
"One with an elegant twisty handle too! So Magnifique!" Yuga said in awe and with far too many flashy sparkles around him.
"Hn! He does know how to make them elegant too, good!" Sanni added, tossing away a long strand of hair with a pleased smile.
"That is a work of Art, and it's not even finished yet," Momo said, awe in her voice.
"Oh! You saw nothing! All that is only the frame, the real piece of art still has to arrive!" Zaus said, chuckling.
"Why must you hype me so much, sir? My heart can't take it!" Jurota admitted.
"Best things come to those who wait~"
Some time later -
Ding! Ding! Ding!
As if it was planned ahead, the kitchen timer Michiko had set for her dessert in the freezer rang just a minute before Izuku's own for the oven, signaling both were now in the final leg of their challenge.
"YOU CAN DO IT, DESSERT KING!" The students cheered for her.
"DESSERT KING! DESSERT KING! DESSERT KING!"
"SHE WILL WIN THIS!"
Emboldened by the loud cheering, Michiko positioned a sphere in the middle of each plate she then decorated with a tiny pinch of the powdered matcha green tea leaves and two wings of caramel shards at both sides of the shining red spheres, she had even created small maple leaves with some remaining sponge cake she had then positioned around the plate, closing the Dish there was a warm cup of green tea as a side drink for the dessert.
"Done! You are finis-"
"She's so totally going to eat those worlds," Mina stated.
"No bet on it," Kinoko agreed.
"It's only a matter of how much he will kick her ass."
"Kick it? He's going to humiliate her," Mineta said.
"If he is really making my special Tarts, I predict he will destroy her," Zaus answered, laughing amused.
"He was feeling naughty then! He really is you! Hohohoho! A sharp set of fangs hidden behind a friendly smile." Setsuno said.
"It's always the quiet ones you need to watch out for," Mirio stated.
Swoooosh!
Michiko's taunt she tried delivering once finished assembling her dish went interrupted by Izuku's hands once more moving fast enough to disappear as he started grabbing the apple slices one by one with a duo of pliers to build the tarts after he used a brush to paint the inside of the empty tarts with the apple butter and then the apple confiture.
"...She is screwed..." a boy blurted-out in dismay as a Rose bloomed inside each tart, and not just a rose-like shape, but a Perfect replica of a big rose made with thin pink apple slices recreating the flower's petals with ludicrous precision of details.
"A couple minutes in the oven to make the apple slices extra crunchy, and the tarts are ready!" Izuku declared while moving the tarts back in the oven after brushing some apple peel essence on top of them.
What came out of that oven once done that bombarded the students and judges in the sweet scent of cooked apples and the alluring fragrance of roses, the insane balance of the two scents though worried Yamato: she once again saw Izuku thread on the thin line between success and failure without a hint of doubts in his steps, and the tiny feeling of fear in her own chest grew a tad bit more.
"Here is my dish! A bit on the feminine side, but nothing says that I can't make a Cute Dish if I feel like it! Queen Apple Tart, with Damask Rose Aroma. Thank you for waiting." Izuku declared as he walked towards the judges by actually grabbing onto the basket's handle and using two long pliers to deliver a small tart to each one of them.

"WAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!" Yuga and Sanni screamed at the same time, both shining far too much.
"There it is! Your wonderful creation! Still as pretty as I remember them!" Setsuno said, chuckling.
"HE MADE A REAL ROSE! NOT A COPY!" Sero said, shocked.
Sato and Kinoko were in awe of the treat.
"How did he make it THAT identical to an actual rose?" Monoma muttered.
"AH-hem!" Zaus answered, smugly looking at his nails.
"... Right, a monster cook from another world..."
Just then the treat appeared, each one getting their own basket.
"Oh, these smell divine..." Yu groaned out, off in lala land.
"So much amazing rose scent! And apple scent!" Sero said, in tears.
"For a lover of sweets, these must feel like heaven to you!" Kirishima said, smiling.
"You have no idea..." Sato said in awe. "Even I can tell I wouldn't even come close to making these with what he used. I would be a miracle if I did..." He did feel something calling to him through the sweets, but it was... muted for a better term. Almost how Ryuku described it.
Kinoko was bowing to Izuku again, like she did in the first episode they watched with his rice. "You are the God of Cooking, I beg you to make me your priestess, shroom!"
"And try to imagine what he can do with mushrooms!" Setsuna said.
"SETSUNA! NO!" Itsuka screamed in panic.
"MY BELOVED PRINCE! MAKE ME DELICIOUS MUSHROOM DISHES!" Kinoko answered with a loud, fanatical tone.
"Ah. Whoops!" Setsuna said, sheepish.
"Why don't you think before speaking!" Itsuka yelled in disbelief and face-palming.
Zebra and Knocking Master were laughing his ass off, watching the entertainment.
Melk had a playful look on her face. "Should I be your Priestess then too, Komatsu~?"
"That's going to be difficult, it's usually me who is worshiping you." Komatsu said with a shy voice and blushing.
"Oh, Komatsu!" She gushed.
"Toriiiikoooo.... Why do you never say romantic stuff like that to meeeeeeeee!?" Rin asked with a long and spoiled-child whine.
Toriko was looking anywhere but her. "Uh... I'm not that good at it..." he admitted. Rin just giggled and hugged his arm, glad for his honesty.
"By the way, the basket too is edible: it's made with fragrant Apple and Rose bread. I have put aside some extra Apple confiture if you want to add it to the basket bread." he then added, with a more cheeky smile.
"To put both rose aroma and Apple butter into the bread, the required balance of quantities to make sure the bread won't break down and still be flavorful would need to be calculated down to the micrograms... Did you really have to risk it so much?" Mako asked.
"You want me to lose, I want to win. I have too much to lose from this Challenge, so I can't hold back, but be ready to bet all of myself at every step." Izuku answered, sighing.
"We'll start with Michiko's dish since she finished first." Yamato decided.
"Please help yourself." the Dessert King answered with a cocky smile.
"Nothing for me?" Izuku asked, honestly hurt.
"Sorry, but I don't expect you to have the right palate to truly enjoy it, so I prefer to not waste Ingredients." she answered, huffing.
"Host?" Whitey asked, and even his normally robotic voice sounded annoyed, somehow.
"No, Whitey. Down." Izuku ordered while shaking his head a little.
"... Look at the cross-section! Simply perfect!" Yamato was heard exclaiming with a proud voice.
The red sphere Dessert in her plate had been cut cleanly enough one could still see the various layers of the different creams and sponge cake forming the inside of the dish, all neatly separated without even the smallest smudge.
https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse3.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.DTBBM6JfqomCgSa3dqy4IAHaEK%26pid%3DApi&f=1
"Wow, that girl actually annoyed Whitey somehow," Mirko stated, serprised.
"Whitey? She is Annoying Midoriya! Not even Bakugo can annoy him! And she is making him frown!" Tokoyami said.
"Oh, no no no. I know my limits, thank you. I know how far I can push the nerd's patience!" Katsuki said, jabbing a thumb towards Izuku. "Down to an Art Form. He is the son of his mother, so I don't want him to pull my spine out of my ass and choke me with it!" He admitted, unfazed.
"... Aren't you the one who bullied him... So he could have snapped at any time...?" Mina asked her friend in a deadpan. She hated bullies.
"To be fair, Kacchan always stopped before he got to that point. He would always walk away right before he got me to that point."
"Eh!" Katsuki smirked smugly.
"That's far from being something to be proud of, kid." Kamui Woods said, groaning.
"I will have counseling and therapy meetings with him," Hound Dog reminded.
Katsuki groaned, not wanting to do so. "Fine."
"The Sponge cake is incredibly soft, like a cloud, and even its positioning is not casual, by forming the middle of the Desert it can perfectly mix with every other taste used. You did study the position of each layer, isn't it?" Minato asked, very impressed.
"Correct! I spent an entire year experimenting with both position and thickness of every layer, even their density is not a chance! I tested over and over every possible combination to make sure every layer of taste would mix with the others to perfection when bitten! Nothing is left to chance!" Michiko answered, her smirk reeking of smugness.
"It shows. Even such a strong cheese like Gorgonzola has been carefully nestled between the apple jelly and the sponge cake, you can almost tell every taste apart at each bite. Well done." Minato declared.
"And it goes well with green tea, even if I am not exactly a tea person." Takeo added, taking a sip of tea every few bites of Dessert.
"... Fine! I admit it: it makes you taste the Autumn. Happy?" Mako admitted, annoyed.
"You know I don't have a fondness for sweets, but you're always a good exception, I love it!" Sadao the Fish King said.
"Thank you. What about you?" Michiko answered.
"Beside saying you have a wonderful technique, I can't say more since I have not tasted it." Izuku answered with a shrug.
"Then be born with a Quirk in the next life." she countered, smirking.
"Be thankful I was born a gentleman still, many of my old acquaintances would have kicked your teeth-in a LONG time ago with that attitude. Zebra would have directly eaten you alive." Izuku answered with an annoyed sigh as even his LEGENDARY 'Cinnamon Bun Patience' was starting to run thin under her constant verbal onslaught.
"No, thank you. I don't eat shit." Zebra said, snarling.
"She'd give you indigestion by how rotten she is," Toriko stated.
"Can you stop talking about cannibalism...?" Sunni asked, looking sick.
"Cannibalism is when you eat another human. Not a brain-rotten little yapping monkey." Zebra answered.
"Don't you mean squid?" Aizawa asked, seeing her as a student to kick out on the first day.
"You are being far too mean!" Nemuri said.
"Well said!" Mic added.
"Towards a poor ignorant, racist, bigoted, bad-mannered, insufferable brat." Nemuri finished saying with a smirk, making Mic groan in defeat.
"Hopefully all her bad attitude is only about spouting some insult, instead of actual unjustified racial hatred." Nezu added, tutting in distaste.
"I blame her parents." Setsuno said.
"Yeeeeep!" Echoed Knocking Master.
"Tch! You don't scare me!"
"It was an extremely good Dish. Now we will proceed with the tasting of Chef Izuku's dish." Yamato declared.
Said that, every judge grabbed the tart from their respective plates and took away a piece of the basket handle along with a bit of apple confiture, and judging by Minato, Sadao and Mako's expression, the three of them actually found it a pity to break apart such a cute bread basket.
Sigh! "Here..." Izuku begrudgingly handed a rose tart to Michiko himself.
"Bleh! Take that thing out of my sight, I won't eat that." she answered with a scrunched nose.
"Sucks to be you. Well, to our Challenge! AND to your future as a lonely old woman surrounded by cats." he answered while eating the thing himself.
"HEY!" the girl growled back in answer.
A lot of the students were trying to hold their laughter back.
"Cats are innocent creatures, they don't deserve to be sacked with her." Aizawa said, huffing.
"Agreed," Hitoshi stated.
"They'd probably claw at her," Mandalay stated.
"I want to scratch her eyes out!" Tooru admitted, growled.
"Geez... You people can be cruel..." Teppei stated.
Crunch!
"... HOLY HELL!" Takeo the Vegetable King yelled in amazement once given a BIG bite to the tart.
"Uhu?!" the Dessert King gurgled-out in surprise.
"Judging by your reaction, it's good?" the Soup King asked.
"Damn amazing, it feels like biting a very juicy apple while sitting next to a rose bush, it's sweet and almost refreshing." Takeo answered, still chewing with a big smile on his face.
"I see." the young woman answered while giving a big bite to her own rose-tart.
"..."
"...Mako?" Takeo asked, worried at her petrified expression.
"Agk..." The onlookers knew people were not supposed to clench their legs THAT HARD once eaten, but the King Number 1 did look like she had a damn 'Big O' at eating that dessert, no matter how insane that sounded.
"Right, you and I both have a very sensible palate, should have warned you." the Vegetable King admitted with a grimace.
"OH! COME ONNNNNNNN!" Mineta howled in disbelief.
Izuku's face was atomic red. "Could have gone my whole life without seeing that..." he muttered, steam coming off his head.
"There are certain rules of decorum one must always follow! My goodness!" Iida said, appalled.
"I'LL TAKE WHAT SHE HAD!" Mina, Reiko, Tooru, Yu, The WWP, Yui and Setsuna said at the same time.
"Oh my goodness." Ryukyu and Melk answered, groaning.
"Reminds me of what happened during that gala in Z City." Setsuno muttered.
"Ugh! Don't remind me, it was awkward to the extreme." Zaus answered, facepalming.
"Well, we should try these ourselves now," Toriko stated, taking one of the tarts out. "They do smell heavenly though."
"With that rose-scent-bomb inside, it better have a damn good scent!" Izuku answered, chuckling.
Everyone took a bite of one, and all were in heaven.
"I think I see the All Mighty," Ibara said, her eyes glazed over.
"Ibara?" Itsuka asked, worried.
"Did you use the apples of the Garden of Eden?" She asked in awe.
"System?" Gaia hissed. "Did you give him the Apples of Knowledge?"
"Not this time..."
"THIS TIME!? You know how dangerous those are!? Almost as bad as the Chinese Peaches of Immortality!"
"..."
"SYSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!"
"They are good for smoothies and Peach Cobblers..."
Gaia leapt at the ball of rainbow light, actually choking the damn thing in her anger at his stupidity. "YOU DAMN IDIOT FOODIE ELDER GOD! THERE'S A REASON THEY ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THE GODS, KNOWLEDGE AND IMMORTALITY CAN BE A CURSE TO MOST MORTALS!"
"System asked Nuwa and Wukong for assistance, and got permission and preparation methods to make them consumable to mortals without those powers manifesting."
"Oh..."
"System is professional."
"... Fate would disagree with you at some point..." Gaia added dryly.
CRACK!
A translucent tentacle blew a hole on the wall next to Gaia's head.
"OUR THEATER!" The three Dimensional Observers yelled in horror.
Gaia just gave System a flat look. "Throwing a tantrum like that isn't going to make it any less true..."
"Shut up for once. Shut up and mind your business. Stop throwing shades at everybody. You have a laundry list of Sins, errors, Mistakes and NOBODY points them out. You are no better than anybody. Stop acting superior, because you are not. DO not talk as if you are better than us. You are not. Never were and never will be."
Gaia gave a flat look. "I never said I was... Geez, just mention her and they go off the deep end, it's as bad as when he was looking for who was messing with them..."
The watchers were sweat dropping. "What can break Gaia out of that cool persona of hers...?" Izuku asked.
"Reminding her of her time being taken over in a-" Joy stated, but stopped when he saw her menacing aura, her face covered in shadows and one eye gleaming red.
"We do not talk about the Lost Belts..." she said in a cold voice. "I was possessed and forced. It was not my proudest moment."
"... Noted... Bitch."
"Okay, now can you two fix my theater...?" Light asked the two Elder Gods.
"Yes." System said.
"Fine." Gaia echoed, crossing her arms. There was a snap and everything was fixed.
"Ah! This is so nice! And this Dessert too goes well with your green tea, Michiko-chan!" Sadao admitted while shamelessly gorging herself without a shred of manners.
"Yes... It's good..." At the same time they heard Yamato admit that with enough pain in her voice she scared them.
"When you bring one to your mouth, the first thing you feel is the sweet and delicate aroma of roses, but then you bit into it and you get submerged into a sea of apple fragrance and taste: from the crunchy and sweet petals of the Rose to the homely feeling of butter and confiture of the filling, he put in there just a thin layer of both, but those two together with the crisp tart dough base fit each other like a dream...The rose scent and faint taste stimulate the nose and relax the spirit, while the apple taste massages the mouth and warms the body. It's unreal..." Minato admitted while studying the half-eaten tart in his hand.
"The secret is in the balance of Taste, as you said. My rose extract has a strong scent and even stronger taste, so redistributing that immense concentration of flavor everywhere equally is a real pain, but once done properly, it is simply amazing." Izuku admitted, sheepish.
"The damn basket is tasty too, alone it has the subtle taste of cooked apples and fresh butter, but if you add the apple confiture too it becomes a knock-out punch of apple taste I can't get enough of. Do I also feel a twinge of cinnamon in it?" Takeo said with narrowed eyes.
"Just a bit, I added that to the mixture along with a tiny amount of lemon peel. Correct." Izuku answered.
"Impressive." the Vegetable King was forced to admit with a groan.
"What?" the Dessert King demanded with a frown.
"I...I don't know how to say this..." the Second King admitted with a low tone.
"Wha?!"
"I am sorry, Michiko-chan...I know you voted for me before...But..." Sadao admitted with an ashamed expression.
"You two are too soft. A defeat is a defeat, we should not sugar-coat it, we have our Pride as future Chefs to defend!" Mako chastised both with a huff, clearly unafraid of casting her vote for the winner.
"Harsh, but true." Zebra said.
"You and her are like Siblings," Sunni stated. "She could be your sister."
"By age disparity, it's more likely she's your secret daughter." Coco added.
"...Hmmm!"
"Shoto! No! Enough conspiracies!" Izuku scolded the Half Hot, Half Cold User.
"Besides, they are not even from the same universe," Iida added.
"Well Dimension Slippage can be a thing," Monoma added in. He got a chop to the head. "OW! Hey, I'm just messing with them, Itsuka..."
"Please know when to tow the line, we don't want you going back to how you were," she ordered him.
"... You can't tell me you don't find their reactions funny?"
She looked away, blushing. "... I will neither confirm nor deny that question."
Izuku and Iida were now trying to pry the notebook Shoto had out of his hands to stop him from coming up with more outlandish ideas.
"No..." the Dessert King whispered, horrified.
"You were amazing, Miss Hideyoshi, so at least my vote is for you, even just for the complexity of the Dish itself." Minato offered with a kind, albeit uneasy, smile.
"..." Yamato instead simply stood in silence and avoided meeting the King's eyes at all cost.
"NO! I CAN'T ACCEPT IT!" Michiko roared in defiance.
"Uh?" Izuku uttered in confusion.
"You can't win this time too! I won't accept it! You just made a tart! I had to come up with a method to make a layered dessert of different tastes while making it as small as a golf ball! I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED BY A SLOPPILY-MADE CHEAP DESSERT!" the short girl yelled.
"Sloppily-made, you say?" Izuku asked, eyes narrowed.
"Yes! Everybody here can make that dessert! I am the Genius here! I AM THE PRODIGY OF DESSERT-MAKING! Not a Quirkless nobody like you!"
"..." a tense silence fell into the room.
"... You know, now that I see it, she acts almost like Sunni would when someone offends his looks," Toriko said, seeing the similarities between the two now, hair and all.
"You never told us I had a niece brother~?" Rin said, getting in on the joke.
Sunni nearly chokes on his tart. "I DO NOT HAVE A DAUGHTER! AND EVEN IF I DID I WOULD SEVERELY PUNISH THEM IF THEY GOT THAT FAR OUT OF HAND!"
"I don't know, knowing you, you'd spoil her rotten, seeing her as your little princess that could do no wrong and she'll have you around her finger," Coco added in, smirking.
"No I wouldn't! ... I mean, yes, probably. But not in this case! That would make her ugly inside, and that means I would look ugly too by reflex!"
Nighteye fixed his glasses. "I don't know, I've only known you for a short time, but even I can tell you act like then when someone insults your looks."
Sunni's eye was twitching in annoyance. "What is this, pick on Sunni day or something... again...?"
"What, you don't want to be reminded of your evil twin sister?" Zebra asked, smirking.
"... Evil twin sister?" Rin asked, confused.
"Oh, that's right you weren't here for that, turns out Sunni here is matched with a Rainbow Pegasus Unicorn Horse Princess and a Rainbow Hair Tyrannical Fashionista," Toriko informed his wife.
Rin was still for a second before- "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~! OH MY GODS THAT IS JUST TOO MUCH~! HAHAHAHAHAHA~!"
Sunni's hair was all over the place, looking pissed. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HER THAT!? NOW SHE'LL HOLD THAT OVER ME FOR MONTHS!"
"I can show you what they look like~" Gaia stated to rin.
"YES PLEASE~!" Rin begged.
"NO!" Sunni shouted.
"Fine, but then we will return to the projection." He'art said, sighing, and summoned a projection of both Celestia and Ragyu.
"WHY!?" Sunni cried, seeing the two images again.
"Nah, you are right, brother. She doesn't look like you." Rin said.
"Thank Go-"
"She is FAR more elegant than you." Rin then said, smirking.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Everyone was now laughing at Rin's roast of her brother. After everyone calmed down, they went back to watching the show. Sunni was in a foul mood though.
"Troublemaker! You will be-"
"Stop, Whitey! There is no need! ... Here, taste this. Just a drop." Izuku answered, unfazed, while handing her the jar of rose extract he used.
"UHU?!"
"This was my secret weapon, taste it raw and tell me if YOU would have been able to handle it like I did." he asked.
"FINE!" she answered.
"Just a drop."
"Yeah, yeah." Michiko answered while pouring a single drop of the rose extract inside her mouth-
Just then, the same extract appeared, not only in Sato's hand, but also a bottle in Ibara's hand as well.
"Huh? Why me?" Ibara askek.
"I noticed that you had a reaction when you had the tarts as well, like something was calling to you, like Sato here," Light stated, remembering 'seeing' Ibara look like something was affecting her with the tarts. "I think it has to do with both the roses and the sugar in it."
"So you want to trigger a Quirk Evolution?" Nezu said,
"It's possible,"
Both UA students gulped.
"Together when she does?" Sato asked her.
Ibara nodded. "Together."
Both got up and went to a corner of the theater for safety. They both looked nervously at the bottle and uncorked it. They both could feel the draw from this, and nod. They both then had a drop of it land in their mouths. When it hit them, their eyes shot open. They both then clutched their bodies, feeling pain.
"OH GOD, IT'S TOOO SWEEET! GUOOOOH!" And yet both had the time to actually comment on the taste
"Is it working?" Nezu asked with his usual detachment..
As if on cue, both started to go through changes.
Sato started to grow fruit leaves in his hair, and what looked like bark was forming around his body in places, like his arms, legs and torso, like natural armor.
Ibara was having different kinds of roses blooming in her hair, each one given off fragrances when they bloomed. Mineta, who was too close to one, seemed to get hit by one and was out like a light. This was a pink Rose. She did seem to get Vines around her arms and lower legs as well, with them acting like gards and grieves.
"Different effects for different flowers? Uhm! Interesting! I'll need you to have you pass by my office once back, pollen can have different effects, I want to see which ones you can replicate." Power Loader said, intrigued.
"I should be the one to teach her, since it seems to act like my Quirk," Midnight stated.
"I should as well," Rin added. "If she can summon Roses on her arms and legs, she'll need to learn to aim with them."
Both kids groaned in pain. Ryukyu went over to rub the two kids' backs. "I know how you two feel, I had to go through it myself you know."
"Can we get something to wash down the taste of the extract...?" both asked. Just then, water appeared in front of the two, the two grabbing and guzzling them down. "Thank you."
"So what do you think you two can do now?" Izuku asked eagerly, stars in his eyes and his notebook ready to write down. He was on his... 100th? 200th? Everyone lost track... now after everything he wrote down being here.
"We know that some of Ibara's roses have a sleep effect like Midnights' Quirk," Mellissa stated, pointing at the pink one Mineta was at. "The others might have other effects based off their colors."
Sato felt something, then he grew an apple out of his hands. "I think... I can not only process different sugars for different effects on my body, like getting faster, denser, stronger, ect. But I can also make fruits from the sugar in my body as well..." Sato then looked woozy. "Though it seems I'd need a lot to do so... Or I might get sluggish... Maybe both... Thought that might not be all I can do right now..."
"Quite the striking change, impressive." Nezu said, unfazed. "I may require extensive data about the changes, Power-"
"Who do you think I am, Nezu? I always take a lot of data when I study something." Power answered, smirking.
"You can take our notes as well," Mei, Mellissa and Izuku said, showing the teacher their notes as well.
"I can also be of help," David added in.
"I can let you use my sprayers for references to use for making items for Ibara," Rin added in.
"Thanks," he thanked them all.
Mineta then woke up, looking groggy. "What happened...?"
"You smelled a flower and got knocked down. Sorry, midget, you lost more Man Points." Katsuki said, smirking.
"Hey, I wasn't expecting it to actually knock me out!" Mineta shouted, throwing a yellow rose that fell off Ibara at him. It hit him, and Katsuki smelled it. His body then locked up on him, like he was paralyzed, and fell in his seat.
"I-I can't move..." Katsuki groaned out.
"So Yellow Roses are paralytic ones," Izuku said, adding the information in his notes.
"Be sure to make an antidote if one or more are poisonous." Aizawa said, huffing.
"No need to tell me, Shota." Power Loader and Vlad King answered.
"Aah! The flowers of the Garden of Eden! They must be blooming in my hair thanks to the blessing of God's emissary!" Ibara said with way too intense religious fervor.
"There she goes..." Itsuka muttered, groaning in despair.
"Okay you two, get back in your seats, we'll test your new powers during our break," Nezu ordered. The two do so, and Katsuki was cured of his paralysis thanks to Xara giving him a cure poison, getting a grunt of thanks from the blond bomber.
SWEET!
SWEET!SWEET! ROSES!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!SWEET!ROSES!

"GUAAAAAAAH!" The Dessert King could barely reach the classroom garbage bin in time before vomiting, and heaving heavily for a couple of seconds while hugging the thing with all her strength all the while hiccuping non stop.
"MICHIKO!" Sadao yelled while running at her side to gently rub her back.
Sato and Ibara grimace, having the same reaction she did just a minute ago.
"That bad?" Toriko asked.
"WORSE!" Both answered, gagging. "And we had a Quirk Evolution on top of that..."
"Pain AND Sickness, a double whammy," Kirashima stated, wincing.
The two held the bottle to Toriko. "Why don't you try it, if you're wondering how it is."
Toriko was actually sweating, and giving a sheepish smile. "Uh... Might be too rich for my blood..."
"I would prefer you not ingest things made thanks to the help of an alien deity. It already had a big reaction to Quirks, I would prefer to not see what would happen to Gourmet cells." Coco suggested.
The two students glared at them, Ibara trying not to get too mad. "We had to suffer through that, the least he could do is try it..."
"Unless he's too chicken to do so," Katsuki goated on.
Zebra smirked. "Yeah, I thought you were willing to try anything, Toriko."
Mirko smirked as well. "Yeah, show us how strong you are~"
"He can do that, but if he goes on a rampage and slaughters you all don't expect us to use painkillers while sewing you all back in one piece." Light said, sighing.
"... Fine, we'll stop..." the two sigh.
Ibara bowed to Toriko. "Please forgive me, it was unsightly of mer to be that mean."
Toriko waved her off, smiling warmly at her. "It's fine. You went through something really painful, I would've been surprised if you hadn't been irritated after that."
"So? Can you use that to make a tasty dessert? Can you handle its intense flavor to make something edible? Something good?"
"Uh?"
"Don't look down on me just because I am a Quirkless." Izuku was heard saying with a grave tone while grabbing one of her knives and handing it to her.
"I take cooking very seriously, as it is the only field where I KNOW I can put you all Elitists in your place and stand toe-to-toe with you. A Mutation won't automatically make you a better Chef, never. It takes hard work to be good." he declared.
"Your name on the blade, please."
"..."
"Your name."
"..." tears started falling from her eyes.
"Michiko?"
"I-I-I-I-" Hic! "I can't lose against a Quirkless! You people are inferior!" she answered while crying.
Sigh! "Forget it, you Elite are hopeless." the young Chef answered with a sigh while writing Michiko's name on the blade himself and putting it with the other two inside the cabinet.
"That's mine!"
"Michiko-chan... Please." Sadao begged with a sad expression.
"No! My mom always says that a Quirk makes us special! Like Gods! He should just go die in a ditch somewhere! There is no place for Quirkless in this world!" the girl raved madly, forgetting that there was a Livestream ongoing and that MANY were growing more disgusted the longer she talked like that. And the live Chat soon filled in insults aimed at her.
"I can't believe there is somebody so bitter like you around. Kind of ironic since you are an expert in Dessert," Izuku said with a sad smile.
"SHUT UP! GIVE ME BACK MY KNIFE! I WON! I WON! NOT YOU!" Michiko yelled while making her hair-tentacles snap forward to grab Izuku.
"Sunni, you really need to get a handle on your daughter," Rin teased her brother.
Sunni's eye was starting to twitch. "Can you not start that up aga-?"
"It does seem your daughter needs to be disciplined," Snipe interrupted, joining in on the teasing.
"You guys are stinky, ugly bastards!"
"I'm starting to see why she's the way she is if that is how you reply~" Coco added in.
"Not you too Coco!?"
"Ah, what's the matter~? You can't admit your daughter is bad~?" Mt. Lady asked him.
Sunni's hair was starting to rile up in his anger.
"What, can't take a ribbing~?" Banjo asked the rainbow haired man.
"Gyaaaaaaah!"
"Oh, God. Now he is in Primadonna Rage Mode... Amazing..." Rin said with a groan.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE THING UP AGAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Sunni roared at his sister.
Mirko was laughing her ass off at the comedy this was. "Ah~ Did we hurt your feelings~!?" Mirko asked in a teasing voice.
"SHUT UP, BAD HAIR DYE BIMBO!"
"HOW DARE YOU! I'LL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT OF YOUR SISSY ASS, BASTARD BITCH BOY!" Rumi roared in answer.
Both were in each other's faces, sparks coming off the two.
CLONG! CLONG!
And both were hit over the head with a heavy duty frying pan from Izuku. Both were holding their heads in pain. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" both shouted at Izuku.
Izuku then had his own Intimidation with One For All activet and Smoke around him making him look extremely terrifying. "Because you two are acting like kindergartners instead of fully grown adults." Izuku looked at Sunni. "Sunni; everyone was just messing with you, you didn't have to get that annoyed with everyone." He looked at Rumi next. "Rumi; you shouldn't have let him goat you in with his comment. He was letting his frustrations out and you did make it worse with your comment."
"But he called my hair a bad dye!" Rumo said, whining.
"We know your amazing hair is natural. He was just spewing nonsense out of anger," Izuku said, annoyed.
"... Thank you for the hair compliment." Rumi muttered.
"Okay, now can we get back to the viewing?" Joy asked.
"Yes, have you calmed down brother?" Rin asked. Sunni only grumbled, taking his seat again so they could continue watching.
CLAMP!
"KYAAAAH!" the short girl though shrieked in pain as soon as Whitey intercepted the attack and his big hand grabbed the tentacles to lift her from the floor.
"Troublemaker, cease the attack or you will be stripped as an example to others!" the robot ordered with his round eyes shining in an eerie red light.
Many also shrieked in fright at the sight and the strange threat the big chubby robot delivered with his thundering monotonous voice.
"FIGHT ME YOURSELF, COWARD!" Michiko shrieked.
"... Take your damn knife, I don't need it to know I won. But see to grow-up already, you are twenty, not five." Izuku simply answered with a sigh, and put the knife back on her workstation while shaking his head.
"I-"
"Get back to your seat, Michiko. You already ashamed yourself and our school enough, and I am not talking about you losing." Surprisingly, it was Yamato who silenced the girl as soon as the robot dropped her.
"But! Rector Yama-"
"I SAID TO BE QUIET AND SIT DOWN, CHILD! NOW!" The woman roared, and Izuku finally saw the woman's Quirk when a long prehensile tail with an actual human hand at the end of it whipped out from behind the old woman to grab the Dessert King and slam her on her seat.
"..."
"... Yes?"
"Take her knife, Midoriya. A deal is a deal, she lost fair and square." the old woman said with a heavy sigh.
"Why do you hate me so much, Yamato-san?" Izuku asked, saddened.
"Personally? I have nothing against you. There is not even Quirkism or the like behind it, I swear. But me and the others, together with Samui, go way back, all the way back to middle school. We are a tight-knit group of friends, and since one of us needed help in dealing with you, we all grouped together to avenge him. Sorry, but between you and Samui, I will stay by his side. If you want me to step back and stop bothering you as you said I was doing? Then you will have to win this Challenge of yours, and it won't be easy." she answered.
"So that's it," Aizawa said blandly.
"Still not enough." Nezu said.
"Uh?"
"This resolves her side of the thing: Friendship and probably past love... But Samui? What is it that makes his hatred go so deep he arms this entire War against that version of Midoriya? That is what I want to know. The most." Nezu said with a fanged smile.
"How much hatred does he feel, I wonder?" He then said, giggling.
"... I feel sorry for them if they have to deal with him," Toriko whispered to his friends.
"I am ready."
"Good, because not me, or my students, or my teachers will show mercy."
"I never asked for it, I just want to be left alone, I never had anything against you. I am just defending myself."
"Fair enough. Takeo, you are up next. Defeat him, please." Yamato asked, sounding exceptionally tired all of a sudden.
"Yes, madame." the Vegetable King answered while stepping forward.
"Want to know why you lost?" Mako asked.
"Uh-hu?" Michiko, still crying, muttered.
"Here, try it." Mako explained while handing her a tart.
"At least this might straighten her out," Mina stated.
"No offense, but he is not a God yet, so miracles may be a bit out of his skillset... yet." Kaminari admitted, unsure.
"... Dude, this is Midoriya we're talking about here..." Kirashima reminded him. "He does the impossible regularly, here and on the screen. Or did you forget he healed All Might?"
"Yeah dude, Midoriya is one of the manliest people around," Tetsutetsu said in agreement.
"Aaaaw, shut up! I am not that good." Izuku said, blushing and bashful.
"Dude, you have one of the strongest Quirks, you have skills, powers and memories of another world, have a damn Keyblade, one of the strongest weapons in the multiverse, and you have the literal powers of a RPG protagonist," Setsuna stated, counting off all the powers Izuku had. "And you're not an ass like the Blond Bomber or Monoma."
"Hey!" both blonds yelled.
"Still amazed it never got to your head." Itsuka admitted with a sigh.
"A saying from a good doctor of the Marvel Universe, 'A good man becomes great, a bad man becomes worse, because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows... compassion'," Xara quotes.
"That is a good saying," All Might said.
"Whoever said that, they must be really wise. Or at least somebody who saw a lot of bad things happen." Coco admitted, humming impressed.
"Both, he was a good man before his death," Xara said. "He was the one to help create one of the multiverse biggest heroes, known as the first Avenger."
"Avenger, that's a good Hero Name," Nana said, chuckling.
"Hero Team actually, the hero's name is Captain America," Light corrected, chuckling.
All Might actually looked interested, and so did David. Light chuckled and showed him, before and after images, from a scrawny boy to a chiseled hero that had the same aura as All Might himself.
"Almost looks like a male version of Cath's costume as Star and Stripes." Izuku said, humming.
"Since when have you been on a first name basis with that woman?" Ochako asked in dread.
"Ever since she came to Japan during Last Year's Hero Con, why?" Izuku asked, confused.
"Nooooo! More rivals!" Mina howled in despair.
"Eh, rivals?" Izuku asked.
In a bold move for him, Higaraki chopped Mina on the head. "Remember, there is no rivalry, Mina."
"Can we get back to the show now...?" Death Arms asked, sweat dripping.
Mineta, even though he was getting better, was still grumbling in annoyance that Izuku was getting a harem.
Crunch!
"O-O-Oh!..." the Dessert King muttered in surprise once tried it.
"You used A LOT of Ingredients, and while it is exemplar that you could mix them all together in a very ingenious way to make an astounding Dessert, the main Ingredient, the Apples, were just a small part of it.
He instead used only Apples and Roses, and even then, the Apples were still the Main Protagonist of the whole thing, and he cooked them in different ways too: in the bread, in the butter, as a confiture and soaked in flavorful water. He gave Apples facets, and all of them worked splendidly together once he made them fit in place." the young woman explained.
"I-I see." the Dessert King muttered, sniffling.
"And judging by your puking fit, he was also very skilled in turning a flavor bomb of roses into a frame to enrich the apple taste."
"Don't remind me, I had to rinse my tongue a lot to relieve myself of the taste. I have no clue how he managed to handle that thing like he did." Michiko answered, gagging.
"Glad to see you understand. Have no fear, though, the next match will be his last. Takeo will use his secret weapon," Mako declared, enjoying the look of horror flashing on the Desert King's face at her words.
"Both of you are ready?" Minato asked after the working station had been fully cleaned.
"Yes!" both young men answered together.
"Good, you can start whenever you are ready."
"I am ready. Choose your Ingredients, Takeo-san." Izuku said.
"We'll use Beef as the main Ingredient. Your small war against Inoshiki Academy ends now." the other answered with a dark tone.
"Beef?" Izuku muttered, confused as to why the so-called Vegetable King chose Meat for their fight.
"I see! Good job, Takeo! The boy is finished!" Yamato instead understood what her student was doing, and her smile turned into a fearsome mask of putrid malevolence.
"A Vegetable King, choosing Beef..." Zebra hissed.
"Yep, I smell bullcrap too." Toshinori confirmed.
"And he is not even being subtle about it." Nighteye added, disappointed.
"It might have to do with what the vegetable will be that will try and throw my other self off," Izuku said, starting to mutter. "Maybe something to do with making their taste buds change... Depending on what it could be, it might make the dish taste sweeter, bitter, and/or salter than it would have normally."
"Yeah, it could be," Komatsu agreed, nodding his head.
"Oooh! I remember that!" Setsuno said with a fond smile.
"Oh! I think I know what you mean, you trashed that poor chap!" Zaus answered, laughing.
"He asked for it! He tried cheating! I just taught him a lesson in humility." The old lady answered, huffing childishly.
Izuku has too sweet of a smile but a fiery aura around him. "Oh, I think I know what I'd be making~ I'll be making his dish an appetizer for mine~"
Nezu just laughed.
"We'll have to give both dishs to everyone to make Izuku's dish explode with flavor then," Xara stated.
"Agreed," System just stated.
Just then, the lights turned back on. "Okay, it looks like it's break time again," Light stated.
"I suggest helping the two new Quirk evolution students out now," Joy ordered.
"Melk-Sensei, Would tools such as scissors, clippers and other tools like that count as knives?" Mellissa asked her teacher. "I had an idea for making something like that, not as sharp mind you, for Ibara so she can cut some of her roses off and put them in a preservative jar like gas canisters like smoke bombs."
"And Izuku could try making that rose extract with different colored roses and can make treats and other food items like those of status curatives like in video games~!" Mei added in, eye sparkling.
"The taste would be very similar, but with a different color, and if you do it properly, you can make a Rainbow Color dish of rose scented food." Setsuno added, smiling proudly.
"I wonder if the fruits I make have any effects as well...?" Sato asked, wondering about that. "Going to also have to see and use other sugars as well for other effects as well, sense my body would react to the sugars as well, would it react like that with the fruits, giving a boost in a person's abilities for a short time?"
"It might, and if adding them to the Tarts like the roses extract, it could make a combination effect or a new effect all together," Izuku added in, writing all this down. "It doesn't have to be apples only, it can also be oranges, lemons, pears, any other fruit, and could also have different effects depending on the fruit."
"Just be careful with oranges and lemons, the Tart or acidic side must be well balanced compared to the sweet side of the taste." Zaus answered. Izuku nodded in agreement.
"As for making those items you two were thinking of..." Melk started, thinking over it. "Maybe... The blades would have to be forged at the same time though, and have to be nearly identical to do so. I've never had to make something like that... That... Might actually be a fun build if I'm being honest, Scissors can be considered a knife object.."
"I wonder what I'll get when I evolve, shoom?" Kinoko asked.
"Probably just a mushroom-shaped head!" Setsuna said, grinning.
"Heeeeey! That's so not cool!" Kinoko answers, pouting.
"She must not know about the dangerous versions of the mushrooms in the multiverse, we do not want a Zombie outbreak with the Last of Us mushrooms, or an Orc infestation from the 40K verse..." Gaia whispered to her cohorts, paling at the thought.
"We knew about the 40K, but thanks for reminding us about that damn thing," Xara whispered, shivling at super powered mushroom zombies, which might actually be worse than the Marvel Zombies.
"Clickers taste bad too." Joy said.
"... Of course you ate one." He'art said, sighing.
"I was curious."
"Not even the System wants to use those as ingredients, they are too dangerous and can not be used in food at all," System stated.
"We need to have a list like some of the others have for only good and safe mushrooms," Gaia stated. "... What about the 'Planet Vs. Zombies' Ones? They only attack enemies, and she can use them for ranged attacks."
"... Maybe we can give her the 40K orks..." Joy stated, thinking, and making the others worry. "But make them a bit smarter, and she's the only one that can summon them."
"And a limit on how many she can summon," Light stated, adding that in. "We don't want her to be made a Queen of an army."
"We'll... Start making that list," Xara said, sweat-dropping.
The others walked out of the theater, leaving the five gods to talk amongst themselves.
To Be Continued...

Omake 2: Evolution of Quirks Descriptions
-Multiversal News With Tina and Mic-
The title card for the show appeared again. It then moved away, showing Tina and Mike at a new table for discussions.
"Welcome back listeners to the second episode of our show, Multiversal News With Tina and Mic~!" Mic called out. "I'm Hizashi Yamada, A.K.A. The Voice Hero: Present Mic~!"
And I'm Tina," Tina introduced, bowing to the audience. "For today's episode, we have three guest with us tonight. They were the first of their World to Evolve through the energy of Izuku's Cooking. Please welcome, Ryuko Tatsuma, A.K.A. The Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu, Rikido Sato A.K.A. The Sweets Hero: Sugarman, and Ibara Shiozaki A.K.A. Vine."
The three of the now evolved heroes and hero students walked in and took their seats.
"A pleasure to be here." Ryukyu answered with a pleased smile.
"Yes, we thank you for having us," Ibara said, bowing to them.
"I take it, you're going to explain what our Quirks new Evolution Names are and what our powers can do?" Sat asked, getting finger guns from Mic.
"YOu got it, listener~!" Mic answered. "Then we'll ask the three a few questions after that, okay?" The three nodded.
"Okay, so we'll start off with Ryukiu's Quirk first," Tina stated, bringing up a before and after photo of her, and her new Quirk information. Mic read it off.
Name: Ryuko Tatsuma, A.K.A. The Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu
Quirk Evolution: Dragon II: Dragon Empress
She now has dragon features in her normal body that are weaker than her full dragon form, and onl;y has four breaths she can only use. But when she goes full dragon, she gains multiple tails, gems and wings for fighting, fly faster, make wind gusts with her wings, and has sixteen elements that she can combine into more powerful breaths. She can even eat the elements she has in her gems to empower her.
"I must admit it was a big shock when my Quirk Evolved, but I am finding the Upgrade quite enjoyable, so I can't wait to use my new and improved power to help others." Ryukyu said, chuckling.
"And that you might even get stronger with other evolutions, with this being your second form, like in those Chinese stories," Mic recalled, smiling and bringing his glasses down.
"That won't happen for a while," Tina said. "She'd have to find something to eat that calls to her." She then looked at the 1-A boy. "Now, Sato, shall we get your Quirk next?"
Sato nodded. "Go ahead. I want to know what Midoriya wrote for me, and how Mic interprets it.
Sato's before and after picture and information then appeared, replacing Ruykui's.
Name: Rikido Sato A.K.A. The Sweets Hero: Sugarman
Quirk Evolution: Sugar Rush II: Fruit Enhancement
With his Quirk evolution, he now has bark armor, like that of the D&D spell Barkskin Armor, but permanent, giving his body a natural armor, with some leaves growing from his hair depending on what fruit he's thinking of at the time. He can now also eat either sugars to give his body different effects as well as the fruits he grows as well to give someone else a boost as well. Down side he gets both drowsy and loses the sugar he ate.
"I like that I now have sturdy tree bark on my skin, makes my attacks much harder, and increase my defense or punches with the type of sugar I consume," Sato stated, nodding. "It can even smooth out when I take sugar to boost my speed, like Iida's suit."
"Now if we can have you make good barriers like a druid in D&D, we'd be golden~" Mic joked out.
"I need to remember to try that too. Especially for the occasion of protecting my friends even better than before." He answered, smiling.
Tina giggled, and Kruppoh was laughing. "Okay, last person then. Ready Ibara?"
"I am ready, Miss. Ask away." Ibara answered, nodding.
Mic brought up her before and after photo, as well as her Quirk information.
Name: Ibara Shiozaki A.K.A. Vine
Quirk Evolution: Vines II: Rose Vines
With Ibara's evolution, she can grow vine not only on her head, but arms and legs now to make armor for her, she can even use the vines in her hands as whips to give her more protection. She also grows different colors of roses on her vines that have different effects depending on the colors. Pink Roses put people to Sleep like Midnight's Quirk, Yellow one paralyzed people, Blue makes people's bodies feel cold, Red ones act like pepper spray, Purple ones make people sick with poison, Green act as a soothing healing agent, Orange ones increase a person's Strength, Sky Blue give you a boost of Speed, Lavinder increase a person's sturdiness with their Toughness/Defence increase, White ones can cause flash blindness and Black make dark blindness. She's a walking Stats inflictor/buffor!
"Your power got a major boost," Tina stated. "Now you can capture villains better and sooth people with your flowers."
"And I promise to use my new power to protect Peace and Justice, in the name of the Lord. I was given this gift by one of God's own Angels, and I intend to bring honor to it." Ibara answered, once again with a cone of light shining upon her from nowhere.
"... Are we sure she's not an angel...?" Tina asked Mic.
"I ask that of myself at times..." Mic muttered.
"But, I'm no angel..." Ibara said, tilting her head to the side.
"... I can kinda see it..." Ryuko said.
"I am just a pious believer, I would never put myself between the ranks of the Lord." Ibara answered, chuckling.
"Yes, we are aware of your strong beliefs, something we all see as a nice extra facet to your character." Tina answered.
"Now, before we get too off topic, we have some things that people might be wanting to know," Mixc stated, pulling out Qcards. "We have a Q&A with you three, three major Questions for all three of you. Shall I start us off?" He got nods from the three Quirk Evolved Heroes. "Alright then~! First off, since it seems Quirks have more than one awakening, and a lot of us might be getting one sooner or later, what do you think a Quirk III would be for you guys~!?"
Ryuko started first, pondering. "I'm not entirely sure... Maybe I would be able to have a hybrid mode where I might walk on two legs, eight gems instead of 4 in that form, and double my wings and tail. As for my dragon from, what happened to me again, more tails, Wings, Elemental Gems, and being able to fuse more breaths together. I'll need to look up more about dragon lore, from mythology, stories and games to see what might be there."
"For me..." Sato started, thinking over it. "Maybe grow vegetables alongside fruits.I'm not sure about sugar plants, and I mean plants that are made to be sugar, but I'd have to test that out. Maybe grow a retractable helmet."
"I am... Unsure about mine... Maybe other vines like plants?" Ibara answered, unsure of herself. "Not much you can improve on my Quirk, if I'm being truthful."
Tina smiled at the. "That might be something, and Ibara, it is okay, this is something a lot of people didn't foresee coming, so it's alright to be unsure."
"Thank you Tina-san." Ibara thanked her, bowing
"Okay, on to the next question~!" Mic called out.
"Ask away, I am here just for that." She answered, smiling.
"Okay~! So, since we know we're getting Quirk Awakening/Evolutions, who do you think will have one soon?"
"... If I have to answer... I think Koji and Ochako..." The dragon hero answered.
"Oh, why those two?" the two students asked.
"I was informed by Joy that they get Awakenings in the future, Koji able to mentally call out to animals from horns blooming from his head, and the same with Ochako, being able to spread her quirk effects through objects that touch each other," she informed them. "Now think of those awakenings being supercharged and added onto, Koji being able to communicate with Mutant Animal Type Quirk Users, and Ochako changing the gravity of everything around her with it bouncing off other objects."
"Huh," That would be cool to see," Sato said.
"Crushed Under the Hand of God Himself," Ibara stated, giggling at her thought.
"Hahahahaha!" Mic laughed. "We are all getting stronger and stronger while Time is stopped in our original world! From the Villains' point of view we will just become Monsters Overnight! Amazing!" Mic then said, between his guffaws.
"And having Heroes he's never heard of, sense we'll be able to cross our worlds," Tina added in, holding back her giggles.
Mic had a vicious smile. "After what All for One did, and trying to steal Aizawa's Quirk and forcing one of my Best Friends to become a High End Nomu, I call this karma. Would love to make him deaf and blind."
"Okay, before your go on a holy crusade, can you tell us what the last question is Mic-Sensei?"" Ibara asked him.
"Okay~ Final One~ Since we know other powers are out there in the Multivers/Omnivers, what do you three think might come, and what powers do you think we might get~!?" Mic asked the last question.
"Well we do know that Stands and Persona's are on the table," Sato said, remembering Joy saying that.
"... Dragon Slayer... Sense I'm basically already one..." Ryuko said, hiding her blushing face, being a fan of Fairy Tail.
"I'd say the Holy Powers blessed us from the Lord himself..." Ibara answered. She then blushed and added, "And I want to have a Caliber sword as well... A holy Sword to fight off the evil of the world..."
Sato held back a snort. "I can see Tokoyami, Shihai, and Reiko want items they can make curses with and curse weapons."
"... You know, I can see you, Ibara, wielding a Keyblkade, you do have a pure heart," Tina said, being told how Keyblades work, and how they chose a wielder.
"God help us if Iida gets his hands on Air Gears, he'll break the sound barrier by mistake constantly." Mic said, smirking.
"... Air Gear?" Tina asked. "What's that?"
"Special rollerblades that, among other things, make you fly and go FAST, the other properties depend on which one Iida will get."
"Sounds like Mei and Melissa would have a field day creating those," Tina said. She then looked at the time. "Oh my, it's almost time to wrap this up. Thank you three again for joining us."
"Thank you for having us," the three thanked, bowing to them.
"And twitch that, we'll see you next episode then~!" Mic called out, looking at the camera, giving finger guns.
To Be Continued...
______________________________________________________________________________
And that's chapter nine. You know, besides Momo's Quirk, Kinoko's is just as terrifying if she knew how to make things like those mushrooms.
Yu: "A bit... You'd have to have fungal spray and antidotes on hand..."
Joy: Nasty buggers. Most fungi literally turn animals into zombies just to force the bugs to get eaten and enter the predators' stomachs... If they do not just bloom and eat them from inside. Fungi are very dangerous.
True... Wait, do you think she could create mushroom pokemon? Sense they are living mushrooms in the Pokemon Universe.
Yu: "You should add those to your list in case she can."
Joy: A paras/parasect? Wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.
Not just those two, but yes, basically. Anyways, sense two more characters have evolved both in body and Quirks, please suggest other ideas for who you want to see get a power up, with items that can help them out. Like last time here's what you the reader has to do:
Character:
Food/Meals:
Quirk Evolution/Awakening Powers:
Body Evolutions:
I think I might have something for Monoma, being able to copy materials he touches, like Kevin from Ben 10. ... Now I just need a food idea for how to make that happen... I was thinking of having a Quirk analysis for evolved Quirks, like that of the Show. That's why the Omake was made! If you have an idea for an Episode for Mic and Tina's TAlk show, or a Question for a character on the show they might bring in/Return do the same with the Quirk Evolutions.
Episode Idea for Tina and Mike
Character to ask on the Talk Show:
Question(s):
What do you think, Joy?
Joy: I think you can get some interesting questions to ask, I can't wait to see what they give you.
Yu: "Let's just hope some of the Guest ones aren't too bad or weird."
Joy: Fingers crossed.
And the part with Mineta and his body being affected by drugs was a nod to the story, 'My Angelic Hero Academia' by Tonol. Go check it out. And with that, we'll see you in the next chapter.
Yu: (Waves) "See ya~!"
Joy: Thank you so much for reading, we'll be waiting for you for the next chapter!
See you all next time.
Please R&R.
