"As expected, my current condition isn't suitable for staying up there."

Jilan Jiyu sighed softly. After thinking for a moment, they still didn't choose to go up. Instead, they stood behind a group of reporters frantically taking pictures of the awards stage, leaning against the wall of the temporary passageway.

Jilan Jiyu stood at the entrance to the passage where darkness and light met, listening to All Might's inspiring speech, they suddenly remembered the strange feeling they had experienced that afternoon.

During the battle with Todoroki, Jilan felt as if his mind was being controlled. He could not think about anything except how to fight. All he could think about was how to gain the greatest benefit with the least sacrifice.

That feeling was like that of a cold, hard fighting machine.

Moreover, that thought kept tempting him to use the Killer Queen. Fortunately, Jilan maintained his last shred of emotion, preventing the string he had set in his heart from snapping.

After the battle, Jilan briefly regained her senses. After a hasty check-up by Rui En, she immediately left the stadium and went to the ruins of the now completely deserted combat training ground.

Since there are no surveillance cameras here, Jilan usually secretly releases the Sheer Heart Attack from here, letting it run rampant and satisfy its explosive needs before taking it back.

Jilan is here now to calm her mind and try to expel the emotions that don't belong to her. Just like the obsession that has plagued Jilan Yoshikage Kira for so long, this cold emotion is temporarily suppressed by Hamon. Mirko

Hamon, also known as Hamon Qigong, helps Jilan maintain inner peace. Without this Hamon, Jilan, who could only use Killer Queen as her Quirk, would probably have become a serial killer long ago.

To suppress something, you must confront it personally; the same applies to the unfamiliar emotions within Jilan.

Normally, Jilan would return home and perform the ritual in her room filled with figurines. Each time, one or two hands would be completely destroyed. In other words, figurines were essential for Jilan Jiyu's spellcasting.

This is also why Jilan needs to keep spending money to buy silicone dolls from the website.

However, Jilan couldn't figure out the cause of this sudden coldness, and with the next match about to start, time was of the essence, so he didn't have time to think about it and could only deal with it in the same way he dealt with ordinary emotions.

Fortunately, this emotion seemed to Hamon its natural enemy, offering absolutely no resistance. Jilan easily eliminated it, leaving only a trace. However, he could not completely eliminate even this trace.

Jilan knew that things like emotions, as long as they exist even slightly, will instantly amplify in the right environment, occupying the entire mind and turning a person into a beast driven by emotions.

Jilan is just a somewhat lazy normal person, and naturally has normal emotions. Liking, disliking, sadness, and happiness are very important to him, even if he doesn't usually show them.

However, that all-encompassing machine mode made Jilan's mind clearer than ever before, as if it had entered an accelerated mode, allowing her consciousness to perform hundreds of seconds of operations in an instant. She could instantly calculate several ways to fight the enemy, allowing Jilan to easily defeat her normally formidable opponent, Shoto Todoroki. Mirko.

This made Jilan feel both fearful and longing for this kind of feeling.

Jilan couldn't eliminate this part of himself; he could only keep this abnormal emotion in a corner of his own mind and let the Hamon surround it, preventing its spread and hoping that it would never be released.

Jilan thought that everything would be fine once he dealt with this part of his feelings, but he was surprised to find that, without him noticing, his opponent's desire, or rather, his "obsession with the Killer Queen," had grown to an undeniable level.

I really want to fry something!

The thought suddenly popped into Jilan's mind, but he had no time to deal with it. He could only hurriedly leave and return to the stadium. He could only hope that he could suppress this feeling for the time being, and at least hold on until he got home.

Back at the stadium, Jilan was called away by Shota Aizawa again, who once again instructed Jilan to take this match seriously and to give it his all.

Although Jilan outwardly agreed, he inwardly gave a bitter smile; he was now barely able to protect himself.

Next up was the battle between Jilan and Bakugo. Jilan had reservations, and after eliminating his strange emotions, he was far from meeting Bakugo's expectations of strength, and could only barely withstand his attacks.

Even though Jilan had been suppressing her inner obsession, she still inadvertently turned Bakugo into a human bomb during a Bakugo.

Fortunately, Killer Queen's derivative attack, turning anything she touches into a bomb, is only a conceptual form and does not affect the actual actions of the bomb itself.

Logically speaking, if Jilan had simply pressed his finger down, Bakugo would have been instantly blown to pieces, and victory in the match would have been a foregone conclusion.

But, as expected, he still couldn't do it.

Jilan smiled bitterly as she thought about what had happened before. Suddenly, she thought of Inasa Yoarashi and the stage play she and her classmates had prepared for in junior high school. Back then, she had also secretly run away after the competition and stood in a dark corner under the stage, listening to Kamui Woods talk eloquently on stage.

Speaking of which, since Kamui Woods accepted a request from U.A. High School. today, he should be patrolling different areas now, right?

Jilan Jiyu stopped listening to the list of names being read out at Midnight and turned to leave the arena.

So, today, will anyone catch up and listen to my true story? I suppose no one will.

"Young Jilan, wait!"

Suddenly, a figure leaped into the Leap of Faith like an assassin, leaping straight down from the stadium's canopy with arms outstretched. After several somersaults in the air, the figure landed with a thud in front of Jilan, blocking his path.

"All Might?" To Jilan's surprise, All Might actually came to stand in front of her, ignoring the countless spectators in the stadium and across the country!

All Might emerged from the crater, his face seemingly born with a shadow, and laughed loudly, "Jilan, leaving without a word isn't very sociable, is it? That's not the behavior expected of a class leader!"

For some reason, Jilan couldn't help but smile as he looked at All Might, feeling genuinely touched. However, he didn't know what to say, and subconsciously, a sentence he would later regret uttered, "All Might, your big hands are really ugly."

"Are my hands ugly?"

All Might seemed stunned, standing there staring blankly at his rough, scabbed hands. After a moment, he whispered, "But young Jilan, these are the rough hands that have saved countless lives."

Jilan Jiyu was shocked and wanted to slap himself. When did he start thinking like Yoshikage Kira? He wasn't that guy at all!

"Young Jilan, I know you harbor many secrets, and we also have things we tacitly agree on."

All Might seemed unconcerned by Jilan Jiyu's words. He took out a silver medal from his pocket, gently picked it up with both hands, and placed it around Jilan Jiyu's neck. Then he gently hugged him. "But, just like your Quirk, this medal is something you earned with your strength. It belongs to you, so you can't easily discard it."

"All Might, I'm so sorry." For some reason, despite having the mindset of an adult, Jilan Jiyu suddenly burst into tears.
