When the pointer landed on the question mark, Clear Skies After Clouds revealed... a toothbrush. What the hell?

"Is this system rigged or what? Why is there even a toothbrush in the system lottery?" Chiffon slammed the desk, feeling utterly depressed.

"Chiffon, the desk is public school property. You can't just smash it whenever you want. Look, it's already cracked." Tenya Iida pointed at the desk. He treated matters objectively rather than personally, unable to understand why Chiffon had suddenly gone crazy and hit the desk.

"Hahaha, sorry." Chiffon said awkwardly. In his excitement, he had nearly smashed the desk apart.

"Even if we're friends, I can't condone you damaging public property." Tenya Iida spoke righteously, pushing up his glasses.

"Iida, do you have enough toothbrushes at home?" Chiffon suddenly asked.

"Toothbrushes?" Tenya Iida asked doubtfully. "I do. Why?"

"I'll give you a good one. Take it home and try it." Chiffon took a white toothbrush from his pocket. He had retrieved it from the system and handed it to Tenya Iida.

Tenya Iida accepted the toothbrush in confusion. He could not understand why Chiffon carried something like a toothbrush around with him, much less why he was giving it away.

"Is there something special about this toothbrush?" Tenya Iida asked tentatively.

"It's better than the toothbrushes you buy. You'll know once you try it at home." Chiffon said casually. There was no use keeping the toothbrush for himself, so he might as well give it to Tenya Iida. He had no idea what effect a toothbrush won from the system lottery might have. Maybe it was just an ordinary toothbrush.

Tenya Iida left with the toothbrush, only half convinced. Chiffon began his second draw. He had to take it easy now—one draw cost 100 Salvation Points. If all he got were toothbrushes and things like that, then this would be impossible to play.

"System item obtained—Quirk Enhancement Pill."

"Oh yeah!" Chiffon jumped up excitedly. He had finally drawn something he wanted. His strength would rise to another level now.

Keep drawing.

"System item obtained—Yellow Man Toothpaste."

"What the hell is Yellow Man Toothpaste? Is it supposed to go with that toothbrush from before?" Chiffon's good mood was ruined again. This system was unbelievable—first a toothbrush, then toothpaste. Was he going to get a toothbrush cup next time?

Some of the students looked at Chiffon, wondering whether he had some kind of illness. How could he be angry one moment, happy the next, then frustrated again?

Chiffon awkwardly scratched the back of his head and left the classroom. He was afraid of disturbing others if he drew here. He had been like this when drawing at home too, always getting overly startled and excited.

After arriving at the men's restroom, Chiffon found a stall with a toilet, hid inside, shut the door, and began his fourth draw.

"System item obtained—Quirk Replenisher."

"What is this?" Chiffon looked doubtfully at the red rectangular object in his hand, which was only the size of a lighter. There was a protruding mouthpiece on it, seemingly meant for sucking.

It reminded Chiffon of something.

An e-cigarette.

E-cigarettes were built like this. Take a puff, and smoke filled your mouth. Was this Quirk Replenisher meant to be inhaled too?

After checking with the system, Chiffon found that his guess had been correct. This thing really was meant to be inhaled. Its function was to replenish Quirk energy after a Quirk had run out and could no longer be used.

This tiny Quirk Replenisher could only be used for three puffs. Each puff could restore a Quirk to its fully charged state, which was equivalent to recovering stamina and returning to peak strength.

This was great. Chiffon thought it was pretty awesome. If he fought a powerful enemy and was beaten until he was completely exhausted, one puff would restore him instantly, just like eating a Senzu Bean. It was practically a bug.

"System item obtained—Black Dress."

"..."

"What the hell? This thing can be drawn too?" Chiffon looked at the Black Dress in his hand, finding it rather hard on the eyes. He had not expected the lottery to give out women's clothes. Did this system have no shame at all?

Still, the floral pattern on the Black Dress was quite pretty. It would probably sell for a high price in an outside mall, but the problem was that he could not exactly take it out and sell it.

What, was he supposed to go into a clothing store and say, "This dress has first-class quality and workmanship. Would your store take it?"

They would definitely throw him out, wouldn't they?

This was not China. There were not so many secondhand markets for trading, and what kind of thing was it for a man to sell women's clothing?

"Maybe I should give it to Momo Yaoyorozu?" Chiffon suddenly grinned. Momo Yaoyorozu would definitely look amazing in this dress—ridiculously tempting.

At that moment, Chiffon did not know that Mineta Minoru was using the toilet in the stall next door.

"Damn it! I never thought Chiffon was such a hypocritical bastard. He actually wants to steal Yao-yorozu from me!" Mineta Minoru gritted his teeth, looking as though he were about to cry.

He really did want to cry. Chiffon surpassed him in both height and looks. Most importantly, Chiffon was strong, an enormous gap Mineta Minoru could never make up for.

How could Mineta Minoru possibly compete against an opponent like that? The thought made him want to cry even more.

He thought Chiffon might have a split personality, or perhaps he was some kind of pervert. He was talking to himself alone in the restroom, giggling one moment and cursing the next.

"No, I have to tell Yao-yorozu about this. I can't let her be fooled by that shameless bastard's appearance!" Mineta Minoru had already decided to expose Chiffon. That way, he would have one fewer strongest competitor.

He did not even consider Bakugo Katsuki, Shoto Todoroki, or Midoriya Izuku as rivals, because they were simply not on the same level. It was like everyone else was thinking about becoming stronger while you were immersed in a gentle paradise. They were two completely different worlds.

That was why Mineta Minoru felt that Chiffon was the greatest threat.

"Creak."

"Who's there?" Chiffon suddenly became alert. He put the Black Dress back into the system storage and asked cautiously.

Mineta Minoru stood frozen in place. He had not expected to make a sound when opening the door. Now he was going to be discovered!

Chiffon felt that the other person had heard his muttering. Although he had not said anything about the system, laughing and getting angry alone in a restroom would obviously make people think too much.

Most importantly, he had said, "Maybe I should give it to Momo Yaoyorozu?" That would definitely make someone suspicious.

"It's you, Little Grape!" The moment Chiffon opened the door, he caught Mineta Minoru just as he was about to slip away.

"Hello, Chiffon." Mineta Minoru said with an awkward smile.

"Why didn't you make any noise while using the restroom?" Chiffon had been in the restroom from the beginning and had not heard Mineta Minoru at all. If Mineta Minoru had not made a sound opening the door, he might never have known someone was next door.

"..." Mineta Minoru had no answer.

"Did you hear what I said?" Chiffon suddenly pressed him, looking rather frightening.

"Ahhh!!!" Mineta Minoru screamed in fright and ran for his life. As he ran into the hallway, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, be careful! Chiffon is a pervert!!!"

Chiffon: "???"

What the hell was this supposed to be?!
