After returning to the classroom, everyone was still buzzing about the alarm that had gone off earlier.

At first, everyone assumed it was an enemy attack, but it turned out to be just journalists triggering the alarm. This explanation left most students feeling a little disappointed.

However, the atmosphere quickly shifted when they heard that Itadori and a few others had been attacked by a creature with a unique Quirk, and that they'd encountered the No. 3 hero as well.

Everyone immediately started chattering with excitement.

"The No. 3 Hero [Winged Hero] Hawks!" Izuku Midoriya said with shining eyes. "At the age of 18, he founded his own agency and made it into the top ten rankings. He was the youngest in history to reach the top ten."

"He's famous for his Quirk [Keen Wings]. People call him the man who's too fast!" Midoriya added with admiration.

While Midoriya seemed enamored with Hawks, Todoroki Shoto was more intrigued by the hawk itself. According to Mina and the others, the creature had an ice Quirk.

"Principal Nezu is the only animal in the world with an awakened Quirk." Izuku Midoriya said thoughtfully, "So, is this bird the second case?"

Yaoyorozu nodded, "Yes, I think that's why Hawks came to capture it."

"That bird had such a menacing aura—I still shudder when I think about it." Ochako said, crossing her arms in an attempt to calm herself, causing Midoriya to glance over at her with a worried look.

Elsewhere, in the UA principal's office, Hawks explained why he had appeared. He was tracking a falcon that the Hero Association believed to be the second known animal with an awakened Quirk, after Principal Nezu.

This falcon's history was reportedly similar to Nezu's, a creature with heightened intelligence and awareness shaped by negative encounters with humans.

Unlike Principal Nezu, though, this bird had already caused severe harm, killing several individuals. According to Hawks, the victims were all illegal hunters, who may have harmed or captured it in the past. The Hero Association had rated the falcon as having the power of a "No. 15 level hero."

The Hero Association was keeping the situation under wraps. Hawks had been specially assigned to the case due to his flying abilities and was tasked with capturing the bird before it fell into the wrong hands.

"Please, I hope those of you at UA who saw it today will keep this a secret." Hawks concluded.

Principal Nezu nodded, "Understood. This is a matter that warrants discretion."

"Alright, I'll head out then." Hawks replied, turning to leave, ready to resume the chase.

That evening, Itadori took advantage of Yaoyorozu's information network to search for any reported sightings of the bird, determined to locate it.

A few days later, Class A was on a bus to the USJ Indoor Training Center, where Todoroki, Itadori, and the others had taken their special recruitment exams. It was the second time they'd donned their hero costumes since All Might's recent battle training.

"Momo, your boyfriend seems to be in high spirits today." Mina teased, nudging her friend.

Momo looked over at Itadori, who was seated by himself, looking unusually calm. Usually, he'd be annoyed by Inasa's loud talking, but today, he seemed relaxed, with his eyes closed and a faint smile.

"Why would he be…" Momo stammered, blushing slightly as she turned away from Ashido's knowing grin.

At the USJ Training Ground, All Might was supposed to oversee the class, but No. 13 was there instead, explaining that All Might was dealing with a pressing issue and would be joining them shortly.

"No. 13!" Izuku Midoriya exclaimed enthusiastically, "She's a hero known for her work in disaster relief, renowned for her skill in rescue operations!"

"Wow! I love No. 13!" Ochako clenched her fists excitedly.

Under normal circumstances, Itadori might have sneered, questioning the need for heroes if there were no enemies. But today, he remained quiet, muttering under his breath, "Come on, come on, come on…"

Just then, a sudden boom echoed across the hall. The lights flickered off, and various appliances and fountains shut down. In the center of the hall, a dark, swirling portal appeared, gradually forming a "door."

Aizawa's face turned serious. He instantly stepped to the front and shouted, "No. 13! Protect the students! Everyone, stay together!"

As Aizawa scanned the surroundings, he missed the brief look of excitement that flashed across Itadori's face.

Then, from within the vortex, golden eyes appeared, and a strange, almost ageless voice rang out, "Eraserhead... No. 13... Where is All Might?"

Aizawa tightened his grip on the special bandage he carried, ready for a fight. It was incomprehensible to him that anyone would dare to invade the heart of U.A. so openly.

Enemies poured from the portal, each with a sinister glint in their eyes, as if they were finally about to satisfy a long-held grudge.

"Oh? I see a lot of familiar faces. Are you here to thank me?" Itadori stepped forward with a mocking smile, taunting the villains.

The moment they recognized him, the expressions on many of the villains' faces shifted from rage to sheer terror.

"H-how did he get into U.A.?!"

"This kid's a monster!"

As the enemies continued to emerge, a third of them seemed to shrink back, haunted by memories of their past encounters with Itadori.

"Why are you afraid of a brat?" A towering villain snarled, stepping forward.

But his confidence didn't last long, as a blur of movement cut through the air, faster than the eye could follow, setting the stage for the chaos that was about to unfold.

The three timid enemies who had been used by Itadori to train Momo were knocked hundreds of meters away.

Next, a man wearing a mask, with a parrot-like mouth and bulging muscles all over his body, appeared, as strong as All Might.

The monster, with its brain still visible through a transparent cover, slowly walked out of the shadows.

Aizawa's expression became more solemn, and he looked at the monster, thinking to himself, "What's going on? I couldn't even see the speed of that guy with the steel Quirk."

"What a bunch of useless guys. They're scared of a little brat like this. How can they handle All Might..."

The last person to emerge was Shigaraki Tomura, who shook his head with one hand and said in a hoarse, crazed voice, "Don't embarrass the League of Villains, you idiots!"

As expected, Aizawa tightened his grip on the special bandages in his hands.

Is this their main force?

Clap!

Suddenly, the sound of applause from the side made Aizawa turn.
