Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Villains in the Shadows – The League Strikes

It was a calm evening at U.A., the kind that rarely lasted long in the world of heroes. The sky had turned golden, the wind light, and most students had returned from their first day of work studies. Laughter echoed in the common room. For a moment, things felt… normal.

But Ron stood alone on the rooftop again, arms crossed, eyes scanning the horizon. His instincts were never wrong—and right now, they screamed danger.

> [System Warning: Two high-threat presences approaching. Unknown Quirk signals detected.]

He narrowed his eyes.

"They're here."

🌘 Meanwhile – At the Edge of U.A. Woods

Two figures stood cloaked in the shadows.

Dabi, blue flames flickering in his hand, and Toga, twirling a knife and licking her lips in excitement.

"He's close," Toga whispered. "I can feel him! So many quirks in one body… I want to slice him open and wear him like perfume."

Dabi rolled his eyes. "Keep it together. We're not here to kill… just to test."

Toga giggled. "Testing might still leave him broken."

With that, the two villains moved through the woods, completely avoiding detection from the school's perimeter thanks to Kurogiri's warp gate exit.

🏫 Back at U.A. – Minutes Later

Ron stepped off the roof and casually walked toward the tree line. He didn't alert the teachers, didn't warn his classmates.

He wanted this.

They stepped out from the trees just as he arrived—Dabi's flames casting long shadows and Toga's eyes glowing yellow in the dark.

"You're a hard guy to track," Dabi said with a smirk.

"Not really," Ron replied. "You just had to walk into my range."

> [Quirk Scan: Blue Flame – Dabi. Quirk Copied.]

[Quirk Scan: Transform – Toga. Quirk Copied.]

[Warning: Toga's Quirk requires blood sample for use.]

Toga hissed. "Did you just—?!"

Dabi's expression twisted. "This guy really is a second All For One…"

"Wrong," Ron said, stepping forward as lightning and fire surged together in his hands. "I'm something entirely new."

⚔️ The Battle Begins

Dabi launched a stream of blue fire.

Ron countered with an identical flame, pushing it back.

Toga rushed in with knives, but Ron summoned Blackwhip, wrapping her mid-air, then activated Explosion, launching her into a tree.

Dabi narrowed his eyes. "You're not just strong. You're insane."

"I'm necessary."

With a roar, Ron activated One For All – 30%, combining Engine, Explosion, and Flame into one high-speed punch.

BOOM!

Dabi crashed into the dirt, coughing blood.

Toga groaned, unconscious.

Ron looked down at them both.

"Tell Shigaraki... I'm not afraid of monsters. I copy them."
