When Yaoyorozu reappeared, she was followed by a team of chefs, each carrying a tray. After several rounds, they placed the dishes in front of everyone. After Yaoyorozu said, "Please begin," and picked up her knife and fork, everyone followed suit.

"Ouch." Yaoyorozu suddenly felt a pain in his wrist for some reason and abruptly threw down his knife and fork. The crisp sound of the cutlery colliding with the solid wood table echoed in the room.

Is this also table manners?

Apart from Kaminari and Jilan, the rest of the people simultaneously threw their cutlery away and shouted, "Ouch!"

Seeing Yaoyorozu staring blankly at him, Toru Hagakure chuckled and poked Jilan's arm. "Jilan, how was it? Was my reaction quick enough?"

Jilan picked up a spoon and smacked her on the head without any hesitation. "Are you stupid? I didn't tell you to learn this too!"

Yaoyorozu rubbed his suddenly numb wrist and asked curiously, "Did your wrists also suddenly start hurting?"

Jilan Jiyu glanced around at the group of people who all had their heads bowed in silence, sighed, and said without changing their expression, "... Yeah, that's right, it's probably because the air conditioning is too cold."

"I understand." Yaoyorozu nodded and said to Ueno, "Ms. Ueno, could you please turn the temperature up a bit?"

"No problem!" Ueno's knife and fork clinked incessantly as she stuffed piece after piece of meat into her seemingly bottomless stomach. She raised her bulging lips and complained to Jilan, "You pervert, you're such a nuisance."

After grumbling, her hair suddenly stood on end, as if it had a mind of its own, and she pressed a few buttons on the air conditioner in the corner.

Those who realized they had embarrassed themselves learned their lesson and, like parrots mimicking others, first observed how Yaoyorozu did it, and then watched how Jilan learned it.

And so what followed was a bizarre, recurring scene: Jilan glanced at Yaoyorozu's hands a few times, as if eating with them, before lowering his head again; Yaoyorozu, feeling Jilan's gaze, blushed and lowered his head to eat; the others stared intently at Yaoyorozu first, then at Jilan, and when Jilan looked up at Yaoyorozu, they quickly lowered their heads to shovel a few mouthfuls of rice down their throats...

In short, the meal ended in this awkward atmosphere...

After dinner, several girls followed Yaoyorozu to visit her bedroom, while several boys stayed in the room to rest.

While Sero and Ojiro were sleeping on the table, Kaminari secretly approached Jilan, who was sitting on the sofa in the corner charging his phone, and whispered excitedly, "Hey, Jilan, this is my carefully selected reward. You must keep it safe!"

"Didn't I say I needed your porn magazines?" Jilan looked up and said, "You can keep those for yourself."

"Jilan, take a look first. This is one of my treasured possessions, and it definitely won't disappoint you!"

Amidst Kaminari's inexplicable confidence, Jilan took the magazine with a pink heart cover from his hand. After flipping through a few pages, she abruptly closed the magazine, looking at Kaminari with a shocked and puzzled expression.

"Kaminari, do you have a death wish?! If the person involved finds out, you might lose your job as Pro Hero."

The magazine that Kaminari showed to Jilan was full of images of female Pro Hero in battle, including Midnight, Snake Woman, Mount Lady... It didn't miss any of the more sexy Pro Hero, and many of the photos were very revealing and explicit, enough to make any young man blush and his heart race.

"As long as we don't get caught, that's fine, right? How about it, Jilan? Isn't it exciting? I begged Mineta for ages to lend this to me, and now I'm lending it to you as a spellcasting material!" Kaminari said smugly. "Don't mention it, we're friends."

Jilan expressionlessly slammed the magazine onto Kaminari's face. "No thanks, I don't want to be caught looking at this kind of photobook and suffer social death."

"Hey, Jilan, don't you like it?" Kaminari put the magazine on his desk and scratched his head in confusion. "Do you prefer more mainstream content?"

"There's no point in discussing this. You should think about how to pass this exam," Jilan said while scrolling through the news. "According to the seniors from the previous year, the final practical test is against the same robots used in the entrance exam. I don't know what it will be like this year, but it shouldn't be too different, since gathering intelligence is also part of a hero's activities."

"If it's a robot, there's nothing to worry about," Kaminari said confidently with a smile. "While I can't adjust the intensity when dealing with humans, I can just unleash a barrage of electric shocks on a robot!"

"Is it something to be proud of to be unable to control your Quirk...?" Jilan sighed. "Kaminari, stop thinking about using these porn magazines to generate your own energy without making any progress these days. Don't forget, Midoriya couldn't control his Quirk at first either, but now he can go toe-to-toe with Hero Killer. Don't you need to reflect on that?"

"... That's right, I should work hard!" Shang Ming was silent for a few seconds, with a fighting spirit in his eyes, "It's all because of that guy Putao, who lets me see these things all day long, so I'm so decadent!"

Jilan looked coldly at Kaminari: "No, don't try to shift the blame, it's all your own fault..."

"Everyone, we're back! There are so many books in Momo Yaoyorozu's room, no wonder she got first place!" Ashido cheered as she ran into the room. After seeing Ojiro and Sero sleeping, she lowered her voice and walked toward Jilan and the others with shining eyes. The first thing she noticed was the magazines still lying face down on the coffee table.

"What is this? Let me see!"

The instant Kaminari grabbed the magazine, Ashido reflexively grabbed it back. "No, I can't let you see this!"

Ashido was simply curious, but seeing Kaminari's strong reaction, he was puzzled. "Why can't I see it? Is it something private?"

"You can't watch it, that's final!" Kaminari shook his head firmly.

Ashido's eyes gradually filled with suspicion. "Could this be...?"

Kaminari's face turned pale the moment he saw Jiro, Yaoyorozu, and Toru Hagakure walking towards them.

He had just said he wouldn't be discovered, but if these girls saw him now, he'd definitely suffer the same fate as Grape! You know, all the Pro Hero on this platform have had some contact with them!

"That's right, these are the answers to the exercises." Jilan Jiyu reached for the magazine and calmly closed it. "Kaminari is taking advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to ask me for the answers to the afternoon's exercises. Then he can finish all the exercises first and laugh at you all."

Seeing Jilan's calm face, Ashido instantly believed him and angrily said to Kaminari, "Kaminari, you're such a liar! Even if you can laugh at us now, you still failed the final exams!"

"Kaminari, are you trying to peek at the answers? You're as clueless as ever. Maybe you've overused electricity and damaged your brain," Jiro said disdainfully.

Yaoyorozu said seriously, "Kaminari -kun, peeking at the answers won't increase your knowledge at all. This isn't a final exam question."

Life's ups and downs happen too fast. Kaminari was stunned for two seconds, then immediately switched into character and slapped his forehead in regret. "Oh dear, how could I not have thought of that? I'm so stupid! Ashido, you were right to scold me!"

"Um, I..." Seeing Kaminari unusually not being stubborn Ashido was somewhat at a loss.

"In short, to prevent anyone from wanting to see the answer again, I'd better burn it completely." As Jilan spoke calmly, golden Hamon began to swirl around his hands, quickly turning dark red and instantly transforming the magazine into a ball of flame.

Denki Kaminari breathed a sigh of relief. Once again, Jilan had saved him at this critical moment. He looked at Jilan with grateful eyes—"Jilan, you are truly my savior. I will repay you even if I have to be your slave in my next life!"

Jilan's help in Kaminari's secret wasn't just out of kindness. If the guy named AllForOne really is Dio and has designs on his body, then these Class A students are Jilan Jiyu's team against Dio, helping him in whatever way they can.

Just when everyone thought that Jilan's actions were an attempt to dissuade Kaminari from plagiarism, Toru Hagakure lunged at Jilan, shouting worriedly, "Jilan, be careful not to burn your fingers!"

Caught off guard, Jilan Toru Hagakure's elbow struck Ji Lan directly in the chest, causing him to catch his breath. The dark red Hamon vanished instantly, and the magazine, more than half burned, fell to the ground.

"Jilan, are you alright? I didn't mean to!" While Hagakure frantically patted Jilan's body, Yaoyorozu picked up the magazine, curiously flipping through the answer key to the test Jilan had mentioned. His face instantly turned bright red.

"Clatter."

The magazine fell open and to the ground.
