"Even with *The World*, it's impossible to jump 400 meters in one go," came a voice from behind, catching Inasa, Todoroki, and others by surprise.

At the starting point of the minefield, Itadori had finally arrived.

"Ooooh! Did you finally catch up, Itadori?!" Inasa shouted, his voice filled with excitement.

"But you're too late." Todoroki added coldly. They had already advanced more than 200 meters ahead.

"I really didn't want to use this." Itadori muttered, raising his hand and pointing forward, "But I guess I have no choice… *Smash it!!!*"

The next moment, as Todoroki, Inasa, and the others turned to look behind them, they were blinded by a sudden flash.

Itadori, who had been standing at the back just moments ago, vanished.

"Twin bastards!" Bakugo yelled in disbelief from further back. His voice was a mix of shock and anger.

Todoroki and Inasa quickly turned to face forward again, only to see Itadori reappear—100 meters ahead, nearing the edge of the minefield.

The entire stadium of 120,000 spectators fell into stunned silence.

---

After a few seconds, the silence erupted into deafening cheers.

In the stands, even the professional heroes wore expressions of disbelief.

"What just happened?! Eraserhead, isn't he in your class? What kind of Quirk is that!?" Present Mic yelled, practically shaking Aizawa.

"I have no idea." Aizawa replied dryly, his tone betraying his shock.

Discussions among the pros broke out immediately.

"What kind of Quirk is this? Did he just teleport 400 meters in an instant?"

"Maybe he's a teleportation-type user like Kurogiri!"

"No, it looked like he summoned something. Could it be a summoning-based ability?"

"Could it be... a dual Quirk user? That's incredibly rare!"

"We need to recruit him! This ability is far too powerful to ignore."

---

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Itadori didn't even glance back. His Stand, *The World*, shimmered as it overlapped with his body. With a leap that defied logic, Itadori soared even higher than Inasa's whirlwind could carry him.

The professional heroes watching were struck speechless. In their minds, this display of physical power and speed rivaled even All Might during his youth.

The camera panned to a dimly lit, foul-smelling room, where two figures watched the event unfold on a screen.

"Have you ever encountered such a Quirk?" A deep voice asked. It belonged to **All For One**, the shadowy villain mastermind.

"No, sir, and if you haven't seen it, then I certainly haven't either." Replied the old man in a lab coat, rubbing his nose with a sinister smile, "But... I must admit, I'm becoming increasingly fascinated by this boy's Quirk."

---

Back on the minefield, Bakugo was in no mood to play it safe. Ignoring the consequences, he charged ahead with continuous explosions from his palms, propelling himself forward while triggering landmines left and right.

"No time to hold back!" Todoroki declared, freezing the entire minefield in one massive move. Though he had avoided doing so earlier to prevent others from using the frozen path, Itadori was now so far ahead that there was no point holding back.

Other students quickly capitalized on Todoroki's ice path to move forward.

Momo, using her creation ability, fashioned a pair of roller skates and sped ahead of the crowd. Though she managed to leave many behind, the gap between her and the frontrunners remained significant.

At the finish line, Itadori's Stand, *The World*, shimmered with a golden hue as he crossed the line.

"The first-place finisher is here!!! Itadori Muzan from Class 1-A takes first place with an incredible display of power, leaping from last to first in a single bound! Eraserhead, what kind of monster are you raising in your class?!" Present Mic shouted into his mic, his voice shaking with excitement.

The crowd roared in astonishment.

"What kind of Quirk is this?!"

"This boy might even surpass All Might one day!"

"Teleportation? Speed? Strength? His quirk is ridiculous!"

The professional heroes could only stare in awe and murmur among themselves.

Shortly afterward, the second, third, and fourth places were finalized:

- Second Place: Todoroki Shoto

- Third Place: Yoarashi Inasa

- Fourth Place: Bakugo Katsuki

- Fifth Place: Momo Yaoyorozu

Izuku Midoriya barely managed to advance, placing 38th.

---

In the stands, All Might let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Midoriya secure his spot in the next round. However, as he watched Itadori's performance replayed on the giant screen, doubt began to creep into his mind.

Had he made the right choice in passing down One For All to Midoriya?

Itadori's overwhelming speed, strength, and decisiveness were undeniable. Combined with his mysterious ability, he seemed like a perfect candidate for One For All—perhaps even better than Midoriya.

"If *The World* and *One For All* were to merge... he might truly become the strongest in history." All Might thought, unable to shake the idea.

---

As the stadium settled down, Midnight cracked her whip, gathering attention.

"The first round is officially over!" She announced, "Students who failed to qualify should leave the field. For those who advanced—get ready for the second round!"

On the screen, the bold words "SECOND ROUND" appeared.

The stakes had only just begun to rise.
