A knock reverberates through the room, prompting Shoto to look up, a puzzled expression crossing his features. He glances at the others for any sign of recognition.

"Are we expecting anyone?" he queries, eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"Not that I know of," Midoriya responds, rising from his seat to answer the door.

The entrance swings open to reveal Monoma, who announces dramatically, "Class B is here to join you for dinner!"

Midoriya's expression brightens with a welcoming smile. "Oh, hello! Come on in," he invites, gesturing for Class 1-B to enter.

"We've also brought Shinsou," Kendo adds, indicating the purple-haired boy standing behind her.

As Class 1-B settles in, the elevator dings, signaling the arrival of the rest of Class 1-A downstairs.

"Oh, you guys are already eating. I should have notified you of our plans to have beef stew together earlier. I apologize!" Iida apologizes, his right arm gesturing as his left remains immobilized in a cast.

"Hey, Tetsutetsu! Bro!" Kirishima's face lights up upon seeing his metal-clad counterpart.

"Kirishima!" Tetsutetsu responds with an equally enthusiastic grin. The two launch into animated conversation, their voices nearly drowning out the room's other chatter.

With a camaraderie akin to brothers, the two execute a hearty handshake.

Meanwhile, Bakugou snorts in mild annoyance and rises from his seat, making his way to the kitchen. "I'll help with the cooking," he declares gruffly.

Observing the reunion, Kazumi grins at her dad and Uncle Tetsutetsu.

"Shinsou! You're here!" Kaminari's face lights up as he approaches the purple-haired boy.

Shinsou rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. "Of course I am. You wouldn't stop texting me, begging me to come over," he teases.

"I'm glad you're here. Come, sit with me!" Kaminari gestures towards one of the couches, and the two settle in, engaging in lively conversation. Shinsou listens attentively, his gaze filled with admiration.

Amidst the chatter and camaraderie, the group dispersed throughout the common area, finding their places on the couches, assisting in meal preparation, or arranging tables to form a single large dining area. However, Mineta remained sequestered in his room, presumably serving out a self-imposed exile.

Suddenly, Tetsutetsu forcefully shoves Kirishima to the ground, his voice rising in frustration. "Idiot! Bastard! Stop whining!" he exclaims, his actions taking Kirishima by surprise.

Clutching his cheek where he had been struck, Kirishima responds, "But today, you were totally better than me."

Tetsutetsu's expression softens as he explains, "Since I'm metal, I can withstand heat! But since I'm metal, there is a limit to how hard I can be! I'm different from you, who can get harder the more you're hit! We're both strong in our own ways." He extends his hand to help Kirishima to his feet.

Accepting the gesture, Kirishima grins. "Yeah! Tetsutetsu!" he declares, a renewed sense of determination in his voice.

Observing the exchange, Kazumi sits in awe. "Amazing! How manly!" she exclaims, her admiration evident.

Bakugou groans in exasperation. "Not you too!" he mutters under his breath.

With dinner now prepared, everyone serves themselves a bowl and begins to eat, filling the room with the sounds of clinking utensils and satisfied murmurs.
