Chapter 359

Place of Learning (び) is the three hundred and fifty-ninth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Within the U.A. Flying Fortress, the teachers and students continue to keep up the pace on the repairs to the structure. One of the Development Course students looks to find several students from the Business Course filming a documentary of the events, berating them for doing it at a time like this. They instead respond back that all the past wars were filmed and documented, and it is their job to promote Heroes and act as the bridge for the rest of society; it is the culmination of their three years of studies and will show how they all achieved victory today.

Reaching in front of Tomura, Dynamight unleashes a fully direct hit of his Cluster move, releasing a ginormous Explosion that reverberates outside the Fortress. The effects are felt by Eraser Head and Phantom Thief, who try to keep their eyes open, the Construction team, with Creati realizing it’s Dynamight, and the Electrical team. Yuyu asks why he's going overboard, but Chargebolt says it's fine because despite how it looks, he's someone who isn't the type to fight haphazardly.

Unfortunately, having recognized how he condenses his blasts to avoid widespread damage while boosting the sheer force, Tomura managed to grab ahold of Dynamight's right arm, telling him that's why it has to go. He continues to reiterate what he told to him last time, that he has no more interest in him, unleashing another wave of fingers that Mirko, Best Jeanist, and Edgeshot attempt to stop. Tomura mocks them, asking who thought it was smart to try and get up close, knocking Dynamight to the side and trouncing the three with his "All Might-level" power.

Dynamight attempts to recover, balking at how vast the gap of power really is between them. Tomura looks on toward him, saying that it wasn't his thoughts or feelings that interested him, and that the only thing that catches his interest is that he's closer to Izuku than anyone. Eraser Head asks for Izuku's status from Mandalay, but she's unable to reach him, as the electromagnetic waves are messing with their transmissions. With Tomura ready to finish him off, Eraser Head calls out to anyone to save Dynamight, as he still needs to graduate from U.A. so he can become the Number 1 Hero.

Elsewhere in the rubble, Suneater looks toward Nejire Chan, telling her he wants to have a proper graduation ceremony, when a voice suddenly appears saying they'll get Nezu to throw them one when this is over. Suneater asks if they stand a chance, as the figure emerging from the ground declares that until Izuku gets there, they'll protect everyone. Lemillion returns as The Big 3 prepare to show off their triple-threat power.
