Izuku Midoriya, once the bright-eyed and determined hero-in-training, had now taken a much darker, more dangerous path. His transformation into a vigilante had sent shockwaves through U.A. High School, particularly amongst his classmates in Class 1-A. His friends—who had once shared his dream of becoming a professional hero—were left in disbelief and confusion. They couldn’t understand why he had chosen to walk this perilous road, where the lines between right and wrong seemed to blur, and the risks were far greater than anything they'd ever faced before.

But Midoriya wasn’t the only one on this dangerous path. A mysterious figure, known only as "Shadow," had emerged onto the scene, striking fear into the hearts of villains and gaining a reputation that far surpassed that of the young vigilante. Shadow was everything that Midoriya wasn’t: cold, efficient, and incredibly quick. His appearance was unmistakable—his blue hair, sharp grey eyes, and an emotionless face gave him an intimidating aura. A small half-mask covered the lower half of his face, leaving his gaze to pierce through the shadows, while a dark scarf wrapped around his neck, adding to his mysterious, almost ghostly presence.

While Midoriya struggled to balance his responsibilities as a vigilante with his earlier identity as a hopeful hero-in-training, Shadow seemed to have mastered the art of ruthless efficiency. Where Deku took time to plan and strategise, often relying on his own instincts and his strength to face overwhelming odds, Shadow acted with an uncanny precision and speed, always one step ahead.

Villains were captured and put in their place without hesitation, and what was even more striking was the ease with which Shadow completed his missions. He didn’t waste a single movement, didn’t hesitate for for even a moment.
