As Jilan helped Dr. David up, Tenya Iida drove Midoriya to the rooftop, where they saw a helicopter with its wings damaged not far away.

Iida slammed on the brakes and stopped abruptly, startled. "Could it be... that Jilan took down that enemy!?"

When Midoriya saw Dr. David being helped up by Jilan, his pupils instantly contracted. Thinking the doctor was in danger, he quickly jumped off Iida's back, staggered to Jilan's side, shook the doctor, and asked worriedly, "Jilan, is Dr. David alright!?"

"Midoriya, don't worry, the doctor was just knocked unconscious, he wasn't affected by the battle." Jilan said calmly as she transmitted Hamon into Dr. David's body to speed up his recovery.

A dozen seconds later, Dr. David opened his eyes and, seeing Midoriya in front of him, excitedly shouted, "Stop that person! We can't let him take the Quirk enhancement device!"

Midoriya glanced at Jilan and replied to Dr. David, "Doctor, calm down. The enemy has been defeated, and Jilan has retrieved the equipment. You don't need to worry now!"

Jilan handed the briefcase to the doctor, Dr. David quickly took it and hugged it tightly as if he had seen a long-lost relative, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Dr. David didn't hold the briefcase for long before resolutely handing it to Midoriya, gripping his hands tightly, and saying seriously, "Midoriya, I want you to give this device to All Might. You should understand why, right?"

"... Yes, I understand." Midoriya nodded silently.

Dr. David continued, "Midoriya, you know All Might desperately needs this. So, even if I'm arrested for violating the rules of I-Island, I'll be willing to do it all as long as this device reaches All Might safely!"

Dr. David turned his gaze to Jilan and smiled, saying, "Young Jilan, you saved me, didn't you? Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have regretted it for the rest of my life..."

"It's what I should do." Jilan nodded calmly. To her, as long as the device didn't fall into Oneforall's hands, it didn't matter who it was with. Whether out of personal feelings or a sense of duty, Jilan had to do this.

Jilan helped Dr. David up. "Doctor, let's leave here. Melissa is still waiting for you. In any case, you made a mistake, and you need to get her forgiveness."

Speaking of Melissa, Dr. David's face showed remorse. "Yes, the person I owe the most to is Melissa... I need to ask for Melissa's forgiveness."

Midoriya also said, "For Melissa, the best news is that you're alright, Doctor."

Just as Jilan and Midoriya were helping Dr. David walk into the tower, they saw Tenya Iida in the distance suddenly change his expression, and the blue flames on the exhaust pipes on his feet blazed brightly as he ran towards them!

"Careful!"

"Head down!" Jilan keenly sensed an unusual current behind him. Without thinking, he pressed down on Midoriya's head, causing him and Dr. David to fall forward and hit the ground. He then lunged forward himself!

Just a second after they hit the ground, a gust of wind carrying sharp blades whizzed past their heads. If Jilan had been a second slower, all three of them would have gone bald!

"Squeak--!"

The sharp, piercing sound of metal scraping against the ground lasted for several seconds before finally stopping. Jilan looked up and saw the wing of a helicopter emitting blue smoke!

Could it be!?

Jilan turned his head sharply, and sure enough, the red-haired man, who he thought was already a level two cripple, stood up unsteadily in the distance. His mask had been destroyed, and he finally revealed his face. His face was nothing special, just like any ordinary passerby you could see on the street. However, at this moment, the veins on his face were bulging, and he glared at Jilan as if he were filled with anger!

Tyrant... Oneforall... Nomu...

Jilan's eyes widened instantly. Could it be that this guy has multiple Quirk?

"The enemy hasn't been defeated yet? Well then, I'll deliver the final blow!"

Seeing that Jilan and the others were safe and sound, Iida felt relieved. He looked at the enemy in the distance, shouted loudly, and charged towards the red-haired man on flames!

"Iida, danger! Come back quickly!" Jilan shouted anxiously. Putting aside the possibility that the red-haired man might have multiple Quirk, even his metal manipulation Quirk alone was a strong counter to Iida. Was Iida trying to get himself killed?!

But Iida seemed to be blinded by rage and didn't hear him. Instead, he roared and lashed out with his whip kick at the enemy!

"You never learn..." The red-haired man stretched out his palm towards Iida, and with a light squeeze in the air, Iida instantly felt as if his legs no longer belonged to him, and his body was lifted into the air!

"It's not that simple!" Iida seemed to have anticipated the enemy's move. He roared, and at that moment, the flames spewing from his exhaust pipe suddenly intensified. The color of the flames grew darker and the temperature rose higher and higher. A few seconds later, the temperature in Iida's exhaust pipe reached 1000 degrees!

"Aaaaaah!"

The red-haired man sensed something was wrong and was about to increase the Magnetism he released to pull Iida away from him, but Iida had already regained control of her legs and roared as she unleashed a flaming kick with 60 km/h acceleration towards the red-haired man's chest! ωωω.999xs. co\m\

"Bang!"

Iida's attack landed squarely on the enemy, sending him flying back into the helicopter. He crashed right into the leaking fuel, and the still-warm red-haired man ignited the fuel. Flames erupted, instantly engulfing the entire helicopter in flames and causing an explosion!

"Iida, are you alright!" Midoriya ran to Iida's side, excitedly asking, "Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that!?"

"I'm a bookworm, after all, and I know some basic physics." Iida smiled. "When the temperature of a flame reaches 770 degrees Celsius, the magnetism in steel disappears. So, after Squad Leader Jilan exposed the enemy's true Quirk, I came up with this method. I burned all the energy in my body, allowing the flame in the exhaust pipe to reach a temperature high enough to neutralize metal instantly, thus escaping the influence of the enemy's Quirk."

Iida sincerely said to Jilan, who was walking over with the professor, "Jilan, this is the principle you taught me: you need to use your brain in battle."

"Every battle is an intelligence war. No matter how strong the enemy's Quirk is, as long as you have their intelligence, you can take the initiative and turn your advantage into victory." Jilan smiled. "After all, we're not the main characters. Is it wise to always think about solving problems by unleashing our full power?"

"Yeah, I'm not the main character..." Jilan gave Midoriya a meaningful look.
