"My Island," also known as "Quirk Island," is a research and development sanctuary for Quirk studies, as well as for developing professional hero combat and support gear. It gathers all the research forces from another world.
This artificial island is powered by powerful new-generation energy and constantly moves, centered around District 10, with the goal of better protecting research results and top scientists, preventing enemy attacks.
The island's security system is named after the Minotaur, a mythical creature from ancient Greek mythology. It is said that even a demon king couldn't escape from its ultimate labyrinth. Since its construction, no enemy has ever been able to engage in illegal activities on the island.
This is all part of the audio introduction for "My Island," and as Accelerator, who had just passed security, coldly watched the crowd continuing to move forward, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, thinking to himself:
(Since it was already known that one of the targets for those trashy enemies was planned to be on this island, but because the Hero Association didn't want to alarm anyone, they only gave the island's management a minimum warning to avoid scaring the public.)
He couldn't help but think again, how tough a job being a professional hero must be.
After all, this job was really troublesome.
You have to know that aside from the few times enemies collided directly with someone early on, the later large-scale operations to hunt down enemies were based on the intelligence gathered by someone infiltrating the enemy's ranks and special intel from a "traveler." This created a cautious strategy to "take one step at a time and test the waters," aiming to reduce risks.
But the situation on "My Island" was completely different. First of all, the intelligence was overwhelmingly insufficient. Apart from knowing what the key object was, they had no idea who the scientist who became the traitor was, nor any solid intel about the enemy group's true identity.
In this kind of situation, even someone as powerful as Accelerator didn't have a great strategy.
Just when someone didn't know how to proceed, unexpectedly, the sneaky little move made during the flight with All_Might turned out to be unexpectedly effective.
The cheerful AI with a Quirk, wearing twin ponytails and a blue jacket, appeared naturally in front of someone, speaking like it was nothing new.
"Master, after we parted ways, it seems the [Symbol of Peace] is actively contacting past scientist associates."
"And Ene happened to find traces of [Enemy] Information Exchange Association logs in the personal computer of that David Hilder."
"Though the traces were erased earlier, with our information tech, they've been completely cleaned up, but that won't stop me, Ene!"
Ene, the AI, was one of the spoils from a battle with the dark forces of the internet from another world. It was originally created by someone with cutting-edge knowledge from the Academy City and turned into a true AI, avoiding the troubles of manually controlling Endeavor's private Quirk training facility.
It had always been secretly installed in someone's battle suit to collect surrounding information and provide essential daily knowledge for its master.
This time, Ene's unexpected discovery wasn't because Accelerator was intentionally monitoring All_Might and his people. Though someone didn't fully trust others' personalities, he was still particular about his boundaries.
With knowledge far beyond the current era and an AI built on black technology directly constructed from electronics, 99.99% of the information in this world couldn't hide from the AI's decryption or bypass its firewalls.
Without the need for fiber optics or cables, she could directly assimilate electronics of the same structure through Denki signals, and under Ene's "observation," all hidden information and erased traces had nowhere to hide.
Accelerator squinted his red eyes and asked, somewhat confused.
"David Hilder? That name sounds familiar."
Only someone could see the blue artificial AI girl, who was fluttering in the air like a fairy, adding more information at the right moment.
"David is the leader in the field of Quirk research who won the Nobel Quirk Prize in a parallel world. Like Naomasa Tsukauchi, he was one of All Might's partners during the Dark Era. The hero combat suits worn by the 'Symbol of Peace' in each period were all created by him."
Upon hearing this, someone responded nonchalantly, clicking his tongue.
"Huh? So, during the Dark Era, he was a key partner in helping All Might fight All for One? That's quite impressive. To have such a researcher risk their reputation and take such a big gamble—tch, impressive."
"Ene, can you get the details on the effect of that thing?"
The blue artificial AI girl excitedly responded.
"Of course, no problem!"
After about thirty seconds, Ene confidently said.
"The true nature of that item is a Quirk-enhancing device that can greatly amplify Quirks through mechanical equipment. Unlike [Fantasy Hand] and [Medicine], it is a Quirk amplifier that enhances the individual's abilities without affecting the body in any way."
"Dr. David Hilder's invention from several years ago, along with his research, was seized by the funders from [My Island], and even the research itself was frozen."
Accelerator knew that if such a thing were made public, it would definitely cause a stir similar to the uproar caused by Kiyama Harukai's creation of [Fantasy Hand]. It could potentially lead to a massive upheaval in the superhuman society.
It seems to be the result of pressure from all sides, someone couldn't help but sigh.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of a sightseeing building overlooking the central fountain of "My Island," a tall man, carefully disguised, dialed a number.
*Beep beep beep... We've successfully entered the venue.*
"So, when can you deliver the item?"
A deep voice on the other end of the line responded.
"Pick up at Gate 66 at 3 PM."
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, the man turned to his companions and issued orders.
"Let's start the operation. You all know what to do, follow the plan strictly."
"Remember, don't kill the guards. Just subdue them and keep them under control."
The man didn't notice the blond man in a white suit and blue tie, who was silently observing them from a distance, near the fountain.
Not far from the blond man, a strange pair consisting of a black woman and a white child wandered aimlessly.
