Time passed quickly. Before Yang Xiao knew it, it was already ten o'clock amidst his busy schedule. Under the tutelage of Tae Shimura and Kagura, he had a good grasp of the Problem Solver's tasks and his daily work was clear.

Toga Himiko, on the other hand, was a bit lost. Her mind didn't seem to be on the Problem Solver's work at all. She always wanted Yang Xiao to do more work for her so she could slack off.

Yang Xiao didn't mind this. He felt that learning more was good and would definitely be useful in the future. Otherwise, when the time came that he needed something and couldn't deliver, he would regret it immensely.

After work, Tae Shimura and the others left. In a few days, these three would be heading out on another mission. Yang Xiao's job was to cooperate with them fully, while also providing them with information and logistical support.

It could be said that there were quite a few orders in the past few days, all piled up. Yang Xiao alone knew of over a dozen orders, and the rewards were not insignificant.

Now, Yang Xiao had to attend school and handle the Problem Solver's affairs. He was incredibly busy, but he still made time every evening to train his body and Quirk.

Training his body and Quirk was something he could not neglect. Yang Xiao knew that if he slacked off, what about the other three people who came to this world with him? If they worked hard, the gap between them would only widen. Therefore, Yang Xiao didn't want his strength to fall too far behind others.

It would be best if his own strength surpassed that of the other three transmigrators. That way, he wouldn't have to worry too much.

The course schedule at U.A. High School's hero course had compulsory subjects in the morning, such as English and other general courses.

At noon, they could enjoy first-class cuisine at the cafeteria at a low price. Yang Xiao was very satisfied with this. One of his minor goals for entering U.A. High School was to eat first-class cuisine. Although there was first-class cuisine outside, the key was that it was expensive, whereas the food here was cheap and delicious.

The U.A. High School cafeteria not only offered Japanese meals but also Chinese food and Western fast food.

After ordering a Chinese meal, Yang Xiao ordered a Western fast food meal as well. Western fast food consisted of items like burgers and fried chicken. Yang Xiao had a particular fondness for burgers, so he ordered a burger and a portion of fries.

Finding an empty seat, he began to eat. Just then, Denki Kaminari walked over with a regular Japanese meal. He placed the plate opposite Yang Xiao and sat down.

"It seems you like to be alone..." Denki Kaminari wasn't awkward. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. It was then that he saw what Yang Xiao had ordered and was immediately surprised, "You eat really well. Is your family very rich?"

Yang Xiao almost choked on Denki Kaminari's words. He took a sip of soup before recovering, "Why is the first thing you think of about money? Can't it just be personal preference? I like to eat, so I ordered this."

"But students who don't have much money usually don't eat like this. Look at everyone else, is anyone eating like you?" Denki Kaminari pointed to the students at other tables and suddenly noticed that those students were also eating very well!

"You're just being stingy yourself. Everyone eats similarly, and the food here is so cheap. What's wrong with eating a bit more?" Yang Xiao said somewhat speechlessly, picking up a fry and eating it.

Denki Kaminari finally felt that his thinking was flawed. Had he really been stingy with his order today?

Yang Xiao knew that Denki Kaminari's family had some money, but whether his family was willing to give him money to spend was another matter.

Then, the afternoon classes finally arrived.

Hero Basic Training.

"I... am... here!"

As all the students were in the classroom, a powerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. Following that was the sound of All Might pushing the door open, and a graceful entrance.

"A very normal entrance through the door." All Might laughed heartily, striking a pose he thought was cool.

"It's All Might~"

"Amazing, so he really is teaching here."

"That's a costume from the American comic silver age."

"The art style is too different, I'm getting goosebumps..."

"Cough cough~" All Might pretended to cough. He had heard the students' discussions, most of which were praises for him. "I'm in charge of the Hero Basic Training course. This is a course for various training exercises to build a hero's foundation. It also has the most credits. Without further ado, today is the day for it: Combat Training!"

As he spoke, All Might waved his hand. A white card had appeared in his hand from somewhere, with the English word "BATTLE" written on it.

This meant Combat Training.

"Combat!" Katsuki Bakugo suddenly became excited. This was the course he had been waiting for. Only combat could ignite his interest. Things like English class were completely uninteresting to him.

"And along with that comes this... look over here." All Might waved his hand again, and all eyes turned to the wall on the left. What had appeared to be just a wall suddenly protruded, like a shelf, displaying rows of boxes.

"Combat suits customized based on the [Quirk Report] and [Needs] you submitted before enrollment."

"Whoa!" As All Might introduced them, all the students became excited. The appearance of the combat suits was like the clothes Pro Heroes wore when carrying out missions. They were so cool and stylish, the thought alone was exciting.

"Change into your suits and gather at the training ground B in order," All Might said, raising one index finger.

"Yes!" The students replied in unison.

A few minutes later, All Might stood at the entrance of the changing room at training ground B. The inside was not visible, only darkness.

Just then, everyone emerged. Yang Xiao was among them. He felt as if he could hear background music. Should he be excited at a time like this?

"Starting with the attire is also very important, young ladies and gentlemen," All Might said, waving his hand as he watched everyone emerge from the darkness. "From today onwards, you must have... the awareness of being a hero."

As everyone emerged from the darkness, All Might's eyes lit up. These students were full of vitality and youthful spirit.

It reminded him of his own youth.

"Not bad, everyone looks very cool," All Might said with satisfaction. "Alright, let's begin, you brats!"

The cost of the uniforms was waived. As long as you submitted your [Quirk Report], [Physical Information], and [Design] requirements before enrolling in U.A. High School, a dedicated sponsoring company would provide the latest cutting-edge uniforms. It was a truly wonderful system.

The combat suit Yang Xiao was wearing was simple. His arms were covered in a soft metal, with streamlined golden patterns that were designed to glow.

His eyes were covered by light yellow goggles, and his legs were also made of streamlined soft metal. His torso had no special protection and looked quite ordinary.

"Cool!" Denki Kaminari came up to Yang Xiao and complimented him. He thought Yang Xiao's suit looked very stylish.

Yang Xiao felt that Denki Kaminari seemed to want to be friends with him. He had approached him twice before, and now he was directly complimenting him, calling him cool.

"It's alright. Yours looks great too, Kaminari-kun," Yang Xiao replied politely. Speaking of which, Denki Kaminari's combat suit was pretty much the same, just with a pair of headphones and a slight change in the clothing style.
