However, just when the game is about to end, they are interrupted by a villain. Who will be the winner of HLB !? “

One day, Smiley draws a scribble on the house of Endeavour. Being furious, the same Endeavour and the 1-A trio go out to find the bad guy. But, the Quirk’s Smiley it turns out to be something ridiculous but powerful… It is making anyone who looks him in the eye laugh hysterically! Will the team be able to catch the bad guy without dying of laughter !? “
