The waiter seated the three of them by a window, where they could see the street and pedestrians outside. It was indeed a nice spot.

"Little Yang, have you ever eaten at a buffet?" Wu Shiyin asked Yang Xiao after sitting down.

Yang Xiao immediately said, "A few times. What's up?"

"Oh, then I won't take you to look for food. Go on by yourself. Toga and I will have a look around." Wu Shiyin gave Toga Himiko a meaningful glance. She stood up and left with him.

Actually, when Toga Himiko heard Yang Xiao say that he had eaten at buffets several times, she felt a little unhappy. Clearly, his past life had been better than hers. She had never eaten at one even once.

But it did not matter. She would have plenty of chances to come here in the future, and Yang Xiao would have to obediently listen to her too. Otherwise, she would not mind letting him bleed a little.

Yang Xiao had no idea what Toga Himiko was thinking. He got up and went in another direction to look for food. This buffet mainly served seafood, with hairy crabs, king crabs, and spider crabs all available. They were basically displayed where guests could see them, and they could take as much as they wanted.

Of course, some greedy people might take a lot at once. The rule here was to take only what you could eat. It was fine to take as much as you wanted if you could finish it, but if you could not, you had to pay for the leftovers.

Yang Xiao liked Western food. After taking some fried food and seafood, he returned to the table. By the time he came back with a drink, Wu Shiyin and Toga Himiko still had not returned.

Yang Xiao did not wait for them and started eating first. Not long after, Toga Himiko walked over carrying plates in both hands and called out to him from afar, "Come help me carry this."

Yang Xiao stood up and took the plates from her. After setting them on the table, he said in surprise, "Can you finish all this?"

"Tch." Toga Himiko said disdainfully, "You probably have no idea how strong my appetite is."

"Yes, I really don't." Yang Xiao felt that Toga Himiko had definitely gotten her money's worth coming here for seafood. If she could finish all the food she had taken, then even if Wu Shiyin did not bring her here for seafood buffets in the future, Yang Xiao would bring her himself.

What Yang Xiao had not expected was that Wu Shiyin was also a massive foodie. He came back with a pile of food and happily dug in as soon as he set it down.

Some of Toga Himiko's food was only half-cooked, the kind that still had blood in it. Yang Xiao and Wu Shiyin had known that for a long time. She liked food prepared that way.

But most of the food was normal, including seafood and sushi.

The battle against the food began. The three of them ate without restraint. This seafood buffet was not cheap—2,600 Island Nation Currency per person, equivalent to 150 Huaxia currency. Even in Huaxia, this buffet would not have been cheap.

So their fighting power was formidable. In around half an hour, they had wiped out half the food they had taken.

By then, the restaurant had started to fill up, packed with customers.

Some guests saw how wildly Yang Xiao's table was eating, especially that cute-looking girl. She was grabbing food directly with both hands, her mouth covered in oil and something red...

Wait... that red stuff was... blood?!

Some customers froze. How could that be possible? People who came here to eat could not possibly be eating bloody food, yet that girl...

After taking one look at Toga Himiko, some customers moved far away. She was ruining their appetites. Though the way she wolfed down food was cute, her taste was simply too heavy.

Yang Xiao and Wu Shiyin were already used to Toga Himiko's eating habits and heavy tastes. At this table, Yang Xiao had the weakest fighting power. Toga Himiko was the strongest, with Wu Shiyin in second place.

The impression others got from watching this table eat was that they must never have eaten a free buffet in their previous lives!

Fortunately, the battle ended two hours later. Toga Himiko leaned back in her seat, fully satisfied. Her flushed little face looked especially adorable.

Wu Shiyin rubbed his stomach and leaned back in his seat. He glanced at Toga Himiko, then at Yang Xiao. "Your fighting power isn't much, Little Yang. The two of us got our money's worth, but you were far behind."

"Haha." Yang Xiao laughed. "It isn't easy to get your money's worth at a buffet. In some places, no matter how much you eat, you still can't."

Actually, Yang Xiao exercised a great deal every day, so it would have made sense for him to eat more. But his three meals were always evenly portioned. If he suddenly binged at one meal, it would be bad instead.

Increasing one's appetite had to be done gradually. It could not be achieved in one step.

Wu Shiyin thought that made some sense, but he still liked the satisfaction of eating until he was stuffed. It felt amazing!

After eating and drinking their fill, the three left Wansheng Seafood Buffet Restaurant. Only after Yang Xiao and the others had gone did the waiters begin whispering among themselves.

"What a sight. That little girl could eat so much. She must have eaten at least as much as two adults, right?"

"Exactly. If my daughter could eat like that, our family would have gone bankrupt long ago."

"Bankruptcy aside, eating like that isn't good for her body. She's still growing."

"I think that handsome silver-haired guy was probably her brother, or maybe her father?"

"That silver-haired man is only in his twenties. How could he have a teenage daughter? What are you even thinking? Do you have a crush on him or something?"

"Stop chatting. You're on the clock!" the manager said sternly as he walked over while the waiters were chatting together.

The waiters immediately behaved themselves and scattered.

"Let's all head home!" Wu Shiyin said to Yang Xiao and Duwo after getting onto his motorcycle.

Yang Xiao nodded, glanced at Toga Himiko, and left. He still needed to complete his daily training. He cleaned up the trash at Seaside Park every day, much like Izuku Midoriya did.

It was just that Izuku Midoriya was even more diligent and hardworking than he was.

After Yang Xiao left, Wu Shiyin left as well. Toga Himiko rubbed her stomach and walked contentedly toward her home. Today's meal had been well worth it.

Several more months passed. There was only one month left until U.A. High School started. During the past few months, Yang Xiao had remained highly disciplined. He woke early and slept early every day, and he only rested after completing his daily goals.

As a result, his Quirk had improved greatly. Yang Xiao was not impatient either. He knew that his current strength was enough to handle ordinary people, but if he encountered an opponent like Hero Killer Stain, he probably would not even have a chance to run.

Over the past few months, Yang Xiao had been quite comfortable staying at Problem Solver. Toga Himiko's temper had also improved considerably, though she was still awful when she wanted to be. Yang Xiao could only give in to her at every turn.

Yang Xiao had a feeling that Toga Himiko's personality had become a little livelier and her darker side had diminished. Even those bloody games had gradually become far less frequent.

Yang Xiao would not let such a good opportunity pass. He decided that even after entering U.A. High School, he would come report to Problem Solver after school.

After all, once U.A. High School began, everything would start to change. That was also when Toga Himiko joined the League of Villains.

Therefore, Yang Xiao had to nip the darkness in Toga Himiko's heart in the bud, keep her at Problem Solver forever, and stop her from joining any League of Villains!
