Goodbye Two-Digit Chapters, Hello Three-Digits is the ninety-ninth chapter of Kōhei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia.

Summary
Class 1-A continue the room with the “best taste” contest with the winner receiving the Room King Award and thus title of “Room King”. On the fourth floor, Eijirou mentions that Katsuki did not want to participate, so Class 1-A decide to check Eijirou’s room and the other rooms; Eijirou’s room is filled with manly items and Mezou’s room has a minimalist theme. On the fifth floor, Hanta’s room is Asian themed. Next, Shouto’s room is Japanese styled with tatami flooring; the girls are impressed with Tooru commenting that Shouto will grow up to be a big-shot while Denki and Minoru are surprised, impressed yet envious that Shouto did all the remodeling by himself. The next room is Rikidou’s room which is normal. However, Rikidou remembers that he was baking a cake, a hobby of his and shares the cake with his classmates, much to the delight of the girls.

All of the males’ rooms have been checked and now the time to check the females’ rooms has come. The first room to be checked is Kyouka’s; her room is rock themed. Next, Tooru’s room is normal, Mina’s room is filled with cute items and Ochako’s room is also normal with Ochako considering it to be dull. The next room to be checked is Tsuyu’s, but Ochako says that she is feeling under the weather so Class 1-A decide to check Momo’s room. Momo’s room has a large luxurious bed taking up most of the room space.

Back in the common space on the first floor, the votes are tallied and the Room King Award goes to Rikidou Satou, much to Rikidou’s surprise. Rikidou received his votes from the girls because his cake was delicious, which makes Denki and Minoru accuse Rikidou of bribing. Before heading to bed, Ochako asks Izuku, Eijirou, Shouto, Momo and Tenya for a moment of their time.

Outside, Izuku, Eijirou, Shouto, Momo and Tenya meet with Ochako and Tsuyu with Ochako telling them that Tsuyu would like to speak to them. Tsuyu says that she told Class 1-A at the hospital that trying to save Katsuki out of selfishness would be no different than a villain’s. Tsuyu admits that her choice of words was severe and after they actually went to save Katsuki, which shocked her, made her regret her choice of words. Tsuyu became frustrated at her cowardly behavior which made her feel guilty in trying to stop them. Due to her guilt and the rest of Class 1-A’s negative feelings towards them as a result of their decision to save Katsuki, Tsuyu became upset at not being able to have friendly chats with them like before. Tsuyu says that she wanted to have this conversation to settle things right and go back to having fun like before. While consoling Tsuyu, Ochako explains to them that the “Room King” contest was to wipe the slate clean of their actions so that they can start anew again. Izuku, Eijirou, Momo, Tenya and Shouto apologize to Tsuyu for their actions and for worrying the rest of Class 1-A.

The trust between Izuku, Eijirou, Momo, Tenya and Shouto with the rest of Class 1-A have been restored. The next day, Class 1-A begin their school life anew. In Class 1-A’s room, Shouta mentions that their first objective will be earning their “Provincial Hero Licenses”. Shouta reminds them that the Provincial Hero Licenses grants them permission to directly intervene when people’s lives are at stake. The exam to obtain the Provincial Hero Licenses is less than five percent. To prepare for the Provincial Hero License exam, Shouta decides that Class 1-A will create at least two signature special moves that they will use in combat; Cementoss, Ectoplasm and Midnight arrive in the room to help. Class 1-A become excited.
