It takes less than a second!

Almost simultaneously.

Petra braked quickly, and [The World] attacked at the same time.

The former grabbed the latter's wrist, and the latter stood in front of the blue-haired girl, one hand stretched forward, clearly trying to grab Petra.

"I can actually keep up with this speed..."

The purple-haired boy, who had been keeping his hands in his pockets and remained silent, had his pupils slightly shrunken in shock.

Petra flapped her wings and flew back to Itadori's shoulder.

[The World] disappeared back into Itadori's body.

"I'm sorry, but Petra automatically attacks anyone who approaches me without permission." Itadori said as he walked past the three people.

"I am a third-year student with no history." Mirio Togata turned around and shouted at Itadori's back.

"Nejire Hado, I'm sorry for what happened earlier, junior." The blue-haired girl said, waving and shouting without regard for the danger she had just faced.

Then she pulled the purple-haired young man with a gloomy face and said, "Hey, Tamaki, introduce yourself too!"

For some reason, the young man named "Tamaki Amajiki" began to tremble, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Meanwhile, Itadori, having already introduced himself, had gone a long way...

The lunch break passed quickly.

Some people never miss an opportunity to train, using even an hour of rest to practice. Others choose to relax and rejuvenate their bodies.

But Itadori's situation was different from theirs.

Under these circumstances, the lunch break flew by. The first battle was between Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki!

Itadori walked through the aisle reserved for school staff, preparing to enter the auditorium designated for Class A. Petra had already flown back into the sky.

But unexpectedly, as Itadori was climbing the stairs, he crossed paths with a man whose muscles rivaled those of All Might.

A middle-aged man, engulfed in flames, even his beard burning.

No. 2 Hero: Endeavor!

As Itadori and Endeavor passed each other, Endeavor suddenly spoke:

"He has a mysterious and powerful personality. He's my son's classmate."

Itadori paused, listening as the other continued:

"Keep winning. My foolish son retreated in the second battle with you, but as long as he uses all the power I've given him, he will not lose. I hope you push him to his limit and make him unleash his full strength."

If this were the Itadori from before, who hadn't been taken in by Momo's family, he might have responded with sarcasm or mockery. But now, he simply smiled and, with his back turned, replied:

"What touching fatherly love."

Whether he was mocking or sincerely approving was unclear, and Itadori continued toward the Class A seating area.

---

"Itadori, you're here?"

Seeing him arrive, Momo looked delighted.

"Some interesting things happened." Itadori said with a grin, sitting next to her.

No other displays of affection occurred.

In the arena, Cementoss, the professional hero and teacher, had already constructed the central battleground. Todoroki Shoto and Midoriya Izuku entered from opposite sides.

---

As Izuku Midoriya stepped into the ring, All Might's words echoed in his mind:

"Go tell the world that you've arrived!"

But his opponent, Todoroki Shoto, seemed unwilling to hold back. With each step, enormous icebergs surged toward Midoriya.

He was refusing to use his fire abilities.

Meanwhile, in an underground bar with a vintage design, Kurogiri spoke to Shigaraki Tomura, who was watching the U.A. Sports Festival broadcast.

"Shigaraki, their representative is here."

Closing his laptop, Shigaraki turned to face a man wearing a mask resembling an ostrich beak, led in by Kurogiri.

"The second-in-command of the Shie Hassaikai... you." Shigaraki said in a low voice.

"It's a pain to work with someone like you." The man replied indifferently, "But under All For One's orders, let's try to get along. My name is Chisaki Kai."

---

Back in the Arena.

The audience likely didn't expect the brutality of the first-round match. Nor did they anticipate that Izuku Midoriya, previously mediocre, could push Todoroki Shoto so far.

But Midoriya paid a heavy price, focusing the power of One For All into his fingers and firing off each attack, shattering a finger every time.

"He's overexerting himself." All Might muttered, his fists clenched as he watched Midoriya's broken fingers.

---

In the audience, Momo frowned, "Why push himself this far?" She whispered, watching Midoriya's blackened fingers.

On the battlefield, Midoriya lunged forward and, despite his injuries, struck Todoroki in the stomach, shouting:

"Isn't that your power too?! Why won't you accept it?"

Todoroki's eyes widened as Midoriya's words pierced through his hatred and confusion. Fire erupted from the left side of his body.

"Scorch!" Endeavor's voice boomed across the stadium as he cheered his son.

But Todoroki didn't acknowledge his father. Instead, he focused on the battle.

---

The clash of Todoroki's flames and Midoriya's One For All sent shockwaves across the stadium. Cementoss, anticipating disaster, quickly constructed thick cement walls to shield the audience.

But the walls melted under the flames and shattered under Midoriya's energy. The resulting explosion of wind pressure rocked the entire arena, tossing spectators back.

---

In the Class A seats, an ice wall rose just in time to shield Momo and Itadori from the blast.

"Is that... ice?" Momo gasped as Itadori wrapped an arm around her protectively.

After the shockwave subsided, Petra, perched high above, scanned the stadium. No one noticed her except for Momo.

---

As the smoke cleared, Midnight's voice rang out:

"Izuku Midoriya is out of bounds! Todoroki Shoto advances to the second round!"

The audience erupted into chatter, discussing the incredible abilities on display.
