Jilan visited the Totsuki Research Institute, where Erina Nakiri had been investigating Little Red Riding Hood, and Alice Nakiri asked him to test her Quirk Cuisine. After Jilan confirmed the dish temporarily strengthened his Quirk, Alice celebrated her research while Erina insisted that its effectiveness was not the issue.

• Alice Nakiri challenged Erina to let Jilan judge her Quirk Cuisine, but Jilan initially refused because he had come to discuss something else with Erina.
• Alice claimed her dish could strengthen Jilan’s Quirk, persuading him to taste it despite Erina’s concern.

• Jilan estimated that the dish had made his Quirk about fifty percent stronger, with the boost potentially reaching seventy percent and lasting around half an hour.
• Alice celebrated the result, but Erina told her that she had never doubted the cuisine worked and that it was unsuited to society.

Erina Nakiri and Jilan explained why Alice’s Quirk-enhancing cuisine was too costly and impractical for most customers, though Erina suggested her Quirk vegetables might interest researchers. Alice was left questioning how to change her path, then shouted after Jilan and Erina for leaving her bowl unwashed.

• Erina Nakiri identified Alice’s stew as a costly dish made from Quirk vegetables and concentrated with a molecular gastronomy machine.

• Nakiri connected that resentment to the General Studies students who targeted Jilan’s group at the Sports Festival.
• Nakiri drained the nutrient chamber and revealed Little Red Riding Hood lying beneath a blanket.

Erina Nakiri woke Little Red Riding Hood with a hidden button and warned Jilan that the girl might behave unpredictably. Little Red Riding Hood woke, clung to Jilan, and then called him and Nakiri “Papa” and “Mama.”

• Erina Nakiri showed Jilan the hidden button on Little Red Riding Hood’s neck and explained that she had replenished the girl’s energy.

• Midoriya proposed sneaking to the tower’s control room to deactivate the villains’ control of the security system, and Melissa explained where it was.
• Iida, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Jiro, Kaminari, Uraraka, and Mineta agreed to join Midoriya’s plan.
• Jilan appeared in the stairwell, and Mineta clung to him in relief before Kaminari pulled him away.

• Jilan brought an unconscious guard into the stairwell and explained that the guard had nearly discovered the students.
• Jiro apologized for failing to stay alert and listened through the floor for nearby movement.

Jilan prepared the students to infiltrate the secured building and reach the control room to rescue Melissa’s father and the other hostages. After learning that Melissa could help restart the security system, Jilan planned to stop at the 50th floor to collect her inventions before confronting the enemies.

• Jilan reassured Yaoyorozu that knocking out the guard was necessary for survival, explained how authorities handled the students’ past actions, and confirmed the guard’s ammunition was tranquilizer rounds.
• Jilan gave the gun to Kaminari and had him disguise himself in the unconscious guard’s combat gear while Yaoyorozu tied up the guard.
• Melissa insisted on joining the group because she could help restart the security system, and Midoriya agreed to take her along.
• The students learned they would need to climb the 200-story building because the elevators were locked down.
• Jilan asked Melissa where the Quirk equipment was stored and decided the group should collect her inventions from the 50th floor before facing the enemies.

Jilan’s group reached the fiftieth-floor storage room, where Midoriya used Melissa’s Quirk-suppressing gauntlet to break in without injuring himself. The enemy noticed the breach and sent two people to investigate, leaving the group poised for a confrontation.

• Jiro scouted the stairwell and floor ahead while the group climbed toward the storage room, and Melissa explained her father’s renewed research into Quirk Factors.
• Melissa revealed that the enemy had likely locked the storage room, so Jilan proposed triggering the alarm to draw out only a few guards and exploit the group’s advantage.
• Midoriya used Melissa’s gauntlet with Full Cowl 8 to smash through the storage-room door, then entered with his arm unharmed.
• A monitor operator reported the breach to the red-haired boss, who ordered two people to investigate and urged Dr. David to act quickly.

Melissa showed the U.A. students her extensive collection of inventions in I-Island’s equipment storage room and offered to select support gear suited to their Quirks. The students admired her work, while Mineta asked about a giant armor model and then accepted Melissa’s offer to help him find equipment.

• Melissa used a disposable ID card to unlock her lockers, lighting up a quarter of the storage room with her inventions.
• Uraraka and Melissa praised each other, and Midoriya explained that Pro Heroes and scientists like Melissa complemented one another.

• Mineta boasted about passing his final exam, and Yaoyorozu pointed out that Midnight had gone easy on him.
• Melissa offered to find Mineta support equipment that could make him stronger.

Jilan reviewed I-Island’s outstanding students and discovered that the deceased researcher Alleyne had worked under Dr. Vogelbaum on artificial Quirks and humanoids. After Kyoka Jiro detected two terrorists arriving on the fiftieth floor, she drew one into an attack and stopped him with her amplified heartbeat.

• Jilan studied the students’ research profiles, found Alice Nakiri’s Quirk Cuisine project, and recognized Alleyne’s research as relevant to his interests.
• Melissa helped Kyoka Jiro, Iida, and Minoru Mineta choose support equipment but had no suggestions for Jilan, Yaoyorozu, or Uraraka.
• Kyoka Jiro detected two people in the elevator reaching the fiftieth floor, and Jilan encouraged the group to face them together.
• A girl lured the two terrorists away from the elevator, and the thin man attacked her with blades of air from his enlarged, webbed hands.
• The girl used her speaker to amplify her heartbeat into sound waves that shattered the attack and left the thin man clutching his bleeding ears.

Jiro lured Vulture into a storage room, where the students trapped and subdued him with a coordinated attack. Vulture learned that the group had used the tower’s surveillance blind spots to ambush him, and Jilan explained why his defeat had been inevitable.

• Vulture chased Jiro into a dark storage room, ignoring a puddle on the floor as he charged at her.
• Mineta’s Sticky Swamp trapped Vulture’s hands and feet, and the students froze him before Midoriya struck him in the waist and knocked him down.
• The hidden students revealed themselves, and Iida, Mineta, Todoroki, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, and Melissa gathered around the subdued Vulture.
• Jiro admitted that she had acted frightened to lure Vulture into the trap, and Mineta teased her before she yanked his earphone.
• Vulture protested that his information had said only one student was on the floor, while Jilan explained that the group had avoided surveillance by using areas without cameras.
• Jilan considered Vulture’s defeat inevitable because the group had advantages in information, terrain, and numbers.

The students confronted Vulture and Purple Hulk, whose Quirk made him grow stronger as his intelligence fell. Jilan activated an alarm around the mech in the glass column, leaving the battle and the machine’s purpose unresolved.

• Vulture called for Purple Hulk to attack the students, and Minoru Mineta taunted him while keeping him trapped.
• Iida charged Purple Hulk, but the man grew into a giant and shattered Todoroki’s ice wall.
• Purple Hulk absorbed Midoriya’s punch and overpowered him, while Minoru Mineta’s sticky grapes failed to stop him.
• Vulture explained that Purple Hulk’s Quirk exchanged intelligence for strength, and Jilan called him a downgraded Hulk.
• Jilan struck the connector on the glass column with Hamon, triggering an alarm and bathing the mech inside in red light.

Jilan’s group defeated the Purple Hulk and Vulture, then realized they could use Vulture’s ID card to take the elevator directly to the control room. The chapter left them preparing to exploit the disabled communications and cameras to free All Might and restore order on I-Island.

• The Purple Hulk ignored Vulture and attacked the glass shielding the mecha until it broke, then collapsed onto the robot.
• Minoru Mineta questioned the Purple Hulk’s behavior, while Jilan explained that the man had traded intelligence for stamina and left the immobilized Vulture behind.
• Yaoyorozu, Tenya Iida, and Melissa praised Jilan’s tactics, while Shoto Todoroki blamed himself for failing to defeat the enemy.

• Jilan told the group that communications and surveillance were disabled, then revealed Vulture’s ID card could give them elevator access to the control room.

Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima got lost while trying to reach the party and ran into Midoriya and the others in an elevator. The group told them terrorists had seized the venue and brought them into the elevator to explain.

• Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima realized they were lost and went to ask someone for directions.
• Katsuki Bakugo collided fists with Midoriya as the elevator doors opened, then attacked him, believing Midoriya had challenged him.
• Shoto Todoroki blocked Katsuki Bakugo with an ice spike, and Bakugo recognized the others in the elevator, including Jilan Jiyu.
• Jilan Jiyu and Eijiro Kirishima stopped Bakugo from fighting and asked what had happened.
• Midoriya told Eijiro Kirishima that terrorists had taken control of the venue, and Shoto Todoroki urged the newcomers into the elevator to explain.

Jilan and the students worked to escape the halted elevator and reach All Might, but Jilan revealed that their efforts had created an opportunity to outsmart the terrorists. The chapter ended with him preparing to explain how opening the elevator doors would help turn the tables.

• Jilan explained that the terrorists had stopped the elevator after noticing the students, and Bakugo volunteered to force open its emergency hatch.
• Bakugo broke through the hatch, then threw Kirishima toward the 157th-floor doors so he could pry them apart.
• Kirishima opened the elevator doors, while Jilan realized his Hamon could affect the buttons and restart the elevator.
• Jilan stopped Kirishima from climbing back down and said opening the doors had been necessary to gain an intelligence advantage over the terrorists.

The red-haired boss and his hacker learned that four U.A. students had reached the 157th floor and ordered the security system to delay them while Dr. David cracked the United Nations lock on his invention. The hacker discovered the elevator was moving again, but Iida struck him down before he could grab his handgun.

• The hacker identified Shoto Todoroki and the other three U.A. students on surveillance footage, and the boss decided not to send anyone after them.
• The boss left to contact their allies by satellite phone and told the hacker to watch Dr. David and keep him working.
• Dr. David continued trying to crack the United Nations lock so he could retrieve his invention, with his assistant urging him on.
• The assistant was revealed to have arranged the villains' help and handled the preparations for David's staged capture.
• The hacker heard the elevator approaching and rushed for his handgun, but Iida's Recipro Burst sent him crashing into a wall unconscious.

Jilan and the others reached the control room, where they confronted the masked red-haired man whose Quirk controlled magnetism. Jilan freed Iida from his control and identified the enemy’s power, but the confrontation was interrupted by a newcomer arriving with the item.

• Mineta found the control room’s enemy defeated, and Midoriya asked Melissa to take over the console.
• Jilan stopped Melissa when he noticed the masked red-haired man approaching, then urged the isolated captain to surrender.
• The red-haired man used his metal-controlling Quirk to pin Midoriya to a wall and make Iida spin toward the others.
• Jilan used Mineta’s water gun to trap Iida’s shoes in grape juice, then used Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive to cancel the man’s control over Iida.
• Jilan named the masked man Magneto and introduced himself as Jilan Jiyu of U.A. High School.
• A startled voice announced that it had gotten the thing and asked what had happened.
