----------

Jio shouted in disbelief.

Hearing the commotion at the door, several members of the Hassaikai group rushed out.

"What's wrong? What happened... eh!?"

When they saw Jio lying at the door, flanked by two bodies with their heads impaled by ice spikes, the expressions of the members turned grim.

"Boss, what happened—"

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Before the members could finish speaking, the icy air spreading rapidly from the streetlamp froze their feet to the ground.

Jio, still on the floor, found half his body trapped in a sheet of ice.

"Zzzzzzz!"

Above, Petra let out a piercing screech as an enormous ice ball, the size of a football field, rapidly formed above his head.

Yes, it was the same move that nearly obliterated Kanagawa during the fight with Itadori over a month ago!

The members stood stunned.

"What the hell is that monster!?"

The next moment, Petra flapped it's wings forward, and the massive ice ball plummeted.

The mansion below, large as it was, couldn't match the size of the ice ball.

If it hit, more than half the members of would die instantly!

"This damned bird! It's like a relentless killing machine!" Jio shouted in horror, veins bulging on his temples.

Suddenly, a figure burst out from the mansion and smashed into the ice ball.

Crash!

In an instant, the enormous ice ball shattered into countless fragments, falling like snowflakes but causing no casualties.

Petra's pupils shrank, recognition flashing in it's gaze—it was the figure Itadori had shown it before, known as "Chisaki."

"What's up with that bird?" Chisaki asked, his voice calm but nasal.

"Second in command, that cursed bird belongs to Itadori! Apologies, the mission failed!" Jio shouted.

"Itadori?" Chisaki's expression shifted slightly.

Crack, crack, crack!

The air froze again as Petra summoned it's stand, the "God Horus," roaring furiously.

"Can a UA student really tame such a terrifying creature?" Chisaki murmured, his calm demeanor tinged with unease.

The killing intent was palpable.

"This damned bird won't stop until it wipes us all out!" Jio shouted, supported by other members as he struggled to his feet.

"But don't underestimate us! Do you think you can take us down alone!?"

Just as Jio was about to order an attack, Chisaki spoke.

"Retreat."

"What? Second in command!"

The group stared at him in disbelief.

Chisaki's tone remained calm, "Since it belongs to Itadori, he'll come looking for us soon. We're at a critical stage of the experiment. If we're found, it'll ruin everything. Evacuate through the secret passage and relocate the headquarters."

"Coward! We—"

Before Jio could finish, God Horus let out an ear-piercing screech, embodying its master's intent to kill.

"It won't stop until all its enemies are dead... what a troublesome creature." Chisaki sighed, twisting his wrist as he prepared to engage.

Petra suddenly dived down at an incredible speed, faster than 300 km/h.

"So fast!" Chisaki exclaimed, dodging just in time.

Petra skimmed the ground, barely grazing the tiles, before shooting upward in a near-vertical ascent. From his wings, ice cones formed and fired rapidly.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Chisaki shattered the incoming ice cones with his hands, his quirk allowing him to deconstruct anything he touched.

Chisaki's quirk, "Renovation," enabled him to disassemble and reconstruct objects, cure diseases, and even revive people if they were not completely dead.

"Such a dangerous creature... no wonder only someone like Itadori could tame it."

Chisaki placed his hands on the ground.

Boom!

The mansion's floor collapsed as debris shot upward like a volcanic eruption.

Caught off guard, several stones struck Petra, leaving bleeding holes in its abdomen.

"Serves you right, cursed bird!"

"Do you see how powerful the second in command is?"

"Haha, die already!"

Petra, now on the ground near the gate, used God Horus to frost over its wounds, sealing them with ice.

"It's healing itself with ice!" Jio gasped.

Crack, crack, crack!

A wall of frost formed behind Petra, launching countless ice spikes toward the members of Hassaikai group .

"This bird is insane!"

"Retreat now, or it'll kill us all!"

For a moment, every member of the Hassaikai group shared the same thought.

Scene Change: UA High School

In the reception room, Nighteye and All Might sat across from one another.

"If I hadn't seen that future, would you have ever planned to see me?" Nighteye asked, breaking the long silence.

"I..." All Might began but struggled to continue.

Nighteye sighed deeply, "Never mind. Let's get to business. I saw Itadori's future."

Nighteye's quirk, "Pre-Vision," allowed him to see an individual's future for an hour each day. He had avoided using it after foreseeing All Might's death years ago. But today, he had used it on Itadori, intending only to observe his recent actions.

What he saw instead left him in shock.

In about a month, he had seen Itadori wielding One For All!

"What you saw... Itadori using One For All—when does it happen?" All Might asked gravely.

"Roughly a month from now. My quirk couldn't reveal how he obtained it."

"One For All requires the host's consent to transfer. Izuku would never willingly give it away!" Nighteye insisted.

"Midoriya handing it over?" All Might shook his head, "Impossible!"

But if not willingly, how?

Beep! Beep!

Nighteye's phone rang.

"Yes, Mirio?" He answered.

Mirio's anxious voice came through, "Sir! There's trouble—it's about Itadori!"

Nighteye's expression darkened.

Hearing Mirio's words, All Might transformed into his muscular form, rising abruptly.

Just as they were leaving, a group of men in black suits, resembling bodyguards, ran out carrying Recovery Girl.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" All Might asked in surprise.

"I'm sorry, Mr. All Might. We are from the security team of the Yaoyorozu family. According to the order of Young Master Itadori, we need to take Recovery Girl to the neighboring city immediately." One bodyguard replied.

"Itadori again?" Nighteye frowned and shouted, "In that case, take me and All Might with you!"

___

An hour ago, at the headquarters of the Hassaikai group:

In the confrontation, both Petra and Chisaki suffered injuries, but in the end, Petra fell.

The members of the Hassaikai group, who were already preparing to retreat, stared at Petra in fear.

This bird... it could actually fight the second-in-command to this extent!

"Second Master! Please get rid of this bird quickly, or it will hunt us to the ends of the earth. Worse, it will report back to Itadori!" One of the members shouted anxiously.

Chisaki agreed, walked up to the seriously injured Petra, and extended his hand to deliver a fatal blow.

Tap! Tap!

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed. It was loud in the evening's quiet street. A deadly, dangerous aura accompanied it.

"Second in command! It's Itadori! That guy is here!" One of the members shouted, his face pale.

The suffocating aura was unmistakable—a presence like death itself.

Chisaki frowned, hesitating. If this bird died, Itadori would hunt them at all costs. With his injuries, there was no way to handle it.

"If the bird lives, Itadori will focus on healing it first rather than chasing us immediately." Chisaki reasoned.

"Everyone retreat! Take the leader and Eri with us!" Chisaki ordered.

Under the command, everyone evacuated quickly. If they encountered Itadori, who could stop time, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Petra, lying under the rubble, radiated unwillingness and murderous intent but succumbed to the pain and fatigue, collapsing completely.

Three minutes later:

Itadori walked into the ruins of the mansion. Summoning [The World], he cleared the debris and brought Petra to him.

Looking at the bloodied bird, Itadori raised an eyebrow and called someone, "Hello, go to UA and bring Recovery Girl to me. The address is..."

Present Time.

The commotion at the Hassaikai group's headquarters had already drawn the attention of nearby residents.

Shortly after Itadori arrived, Tsukauchi and a large group of police officers arrived as well.

When Tsukauchi saw the ruined mansion, he was shocked, "What on earth happened here?!"

"Itadori?"

Noticing him standing before the rubble, Tsukauchi approached and asked, "The headquarters of the Hassaikai group...?"

Itadori glanced at him and said, "But this can only be called their 'front headquarters.'"

"What?!" Tsukauchi exclaimed, looking at the wreckage again.

"You fought them?"

Tsukauchi frowned. Nighteye had specifically instructed them to avoid direct combat. Yet here Itadori was, in the middle of the devastation.

"Pointless. If I wanted to, could they have escaped?" Itadori replied calmly.

At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce from the Yaoyorozu family arrived. The bodyguards carrying Recovery Girl stepped out and hurried over.

"Itadori." Recovery Girl said as she approached.

Itadori handed Petra to her without a word.

"Is this the second animal in the world to awaken a Quirk after Nezu?" Recovery Girl asked, inspecting Petra with a curious expression, "It won't attack me, will it?"

"No." Itadori confirmed.

All Might and Nighteye exited the car next.

Seeing the ruined houses, All Might exclaimed, "What happened here?"

"The headquarters of the Hassaikai group—the former headquarters." Itadori replied tersely, repeating what he had told Tsuchikata.

Nighteye frowned deeply, "This large-scale fight has alerted the enemy. Finding them now will be even harder."

But his attention shifted to something more pressing. He stared at Itadori, his mind racing, 'Why did my foresight show him using One For All?'

All Might had similar thoughts and looked at Itadori with a mix of confusion and unease.

Itadori caught the odd look and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing..." All Might quickly waved his hands, though his expression betrayed his thoughts.

Tsukauchi approached and reported, "Sir, All Might, based on Itadori's observations, they likely escaped through a secret passage under the house. I'll investigate."

Nighteye nodded after a moment's thought, "Please, go ahead."

While Nighteye focused on Tsukauchi's investigation, All Might's mind remained clouded.

Nighteye's foresight had never been wrong. He had predicted deaths that seemed preventable but proved unavoidable.

So why did it show Itadori using One For All?

"If that's all, I'm leaving." Itadori said, turning to go.

"Report to the office tomorrow morning." Nighteye called after him.

Thanks to Recovery Girl, Petra was already 70% healed, with a full recovery expected in two days.

Later, as Itadori checked his phone, he noticed dozens of messages. Most were from Momo and Melissa.

Melissa's persistence surprised him. He hadn't expected her to keep contacting him after his departure.

Deciding to reply, he sent a brief email:

"I encountered an enemy."

Her response came almost instantly:

"Are you okay? Were you hurt?"

Itadori replied: "They escaped. I'm fine."

Melissa: "Good! Being a hero is dangerous. Be careful!"

As their exchange continued, Itadori took out a peculiar needle-like bullet and examined it.
