Jilan helped Dr. David recover the Quirk enhancement device and urged him to make things right with Melissa, but the red-haired villain rose again and attacked. Iida used his knowledge of magnetism to break free of the villain’s power and strike him into the fuel-leaking helicopter, which exploded.

• The red-haired man caught All Might's fist, struck him with metal-wrapped concrete, and sealed him inside a massive metal-and-concrete lock.
• The villain reinforced the lock as All Might struggled to break free and taunted him about running out of air.

Jilan realized Dr. David’s Quirk-enhancement concentrate might help him reach All Might, who was trapped in the sky, and considered drinking it despite its danger. Before he could act, Midoriya used Uraraka’s Zero Gravity and Melissa’s gauntlet to launch himself at the seal.

• Jilan learned the Quirk-enhancement device could last up to twenty minutes and decided All Might had to be saved, even if he revealed Killer Queen.

• All Might broke through the red-haired man’s metal defenses and struck him with a Detroit Smash, breaking the Quirk-enhancement device.
• The moon appeared over the ruined rooftop as the red-haired man screamed from the pain of his injuries.

Jilan confronted Bakugo after the attack, then watched the United Nations peacekeeping force take control of the scene and question Dr. David. As Jilan suddenly suffered a severe reaction to the undiluted solution, he lost control of his body and passed out.

• Jilan blocked Bakugo’s attack and explained that his strengthened Quirk and iron-sand control came from Dr. David’s drug and his Quirk.
• Jilan found the red-haired attacker unconscious and handed the broken Quirk amplification device to a United Nations official as the peacekeeping force arrived.
• The guards escorted the students away, while Dr. David went to see Sam and the official warned All Might to stay out of the case.
• Jilan followed the official and witnessed Dr. David’s exchange with him before a sharp pain struck Jilan’s heart.

Dr. David explained how his research on Raw Stone led to the Stock Solution, the Quirk Amplification Device, and the Degrading Solution, while Jilan questioned him about All Might’s injury and Melissa. The chapter ended with Melissa apologizing to Jilan for her father’s actions, though she admitted she had not apologized to Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, and the others.

• Dr. David traced his research back to an anonymous email about Quirk Factors and Quirk-enhancing substances, then described discovering Raw Stone and developing his solutions and device from it.
• Jilan learned the anonymous email likely came from Japan and confirmed that All Might had suffered a serious, lasting injury.

• Jilan convinced Melissa that neither he nor Dr. Sam needed to apologize for choices made to protect others, and Melissa accepted his thanks instead of an apology.
• Jilan warned Melissa that Dr. David was unlikely to be released soon and urged her to believe in her inventing ability; Melissa resolved to respect her father’s choice and wait for him.

• Alice arrived with a suitcase, dismissed the officer, and told Jilan he would be flying on her plane.
• Jilan headed toward the hall to find his passport while Alice called after him for acting arrogantly.

On the flight, Jilan learned why Lisi had left I-Island and pieced together clues about All Might’s injury and Midoriya inheriting his Quirk. He resolved to avoid the League of Villains and let Midoriya take the lead while he pursued an ordinary career as a Pro Hero.

• Jilan decided to limit his contact with the League of Villains and stay out of the spotlight as Midoriya fought to become the symbol of peace.

Jilan considered his unresolved problems and discovered that the Raw Stone he had stored inside the skull had shrunk. He suspected the skull had somehow taken part of it, leaving him to confront his bewildered safe.

• Jilan concluded that Alain was the Italian student who had studied under Dr. Vogelbaum, but saw little use in the discovery.
• Jilan worried about how to handle Fran and Erina, then considered asking Alice for Erina's address when she woke.
• Jilan realized that the Ambergris from Isana matched the Raw Stone used in Dr. David's Stock Solution and might help him make the formula himself.
• Jilan animated the skull with Killer Queen, Second Bomb, and found that the Raw Stone inside had become a smaller, round blue bead while its fragments had vanished.
• Jilan accused the skull of pocketing some of the Raw Stone, and the skull denied it and swore it would harm itself if guilty.

• Jilan asked Inasa Yoarashi about Shoto Todoroki and All Might, and Yoarashi said he admired All Might for protecting hostages and believed he remained immensely powerful.

• Mrs. Qiyuan offered them two rooms, but Jilan registered them for one and asked after Xiaoyou.
• Mrs. Qiyuan heard Fran call Jilan Dad, imagined he had turned her into a daughter, and raised Xiaoyou’s flute against him.

Jilan and Fran stayed at the Qiyuan Inn after Mrs. Qiyuan relented when Fran fell asleep, and the next morning Mrs. Qiyuan treated them warmly. Xiaoyou apologized for her mother’s behavior, but Jilan’s reassurance did not convince her.

• Mrs. Qiyuan initially tried to drive Jilan and Fran away, then let them stay because Fran was asleep and might be unsafe outside.
