This chapter is the third and last in a three-part mockumentary arc. While the format leans toward humor and exaggeration, these three chapters are canon.
A SMALL DISCLAIMER!
--I went back to write these chapters, meaning, I didn't remember every single line I wrote back in the earlier chapters.
So… yeah. Some lines Ryuu originally muttered to himself or to the System might've accidentally ended up as things other characters somehow know.
If you catch something that feels off, let me know so I can go back and cover up my narrative crimes.
Appreciate it. Let's pretend I planned it all from the start.
Thanks.--
PS: These chapters also serve as a soft recap of the first 80 chapters. While they don't introduce new plot developments, they are highly recommended if you want to understand how Ryuu is seen by the people around him—emotionally, mentally, and strategically.

Midoriya Ryuu's threat index?

Recommend provisional Category‑Ω observation.

Kitsune's stylus pauses over a single frame: Ryuu grinning mid‑swing, eyes feral.

Night breeze. Vending-machine hum. Satellites blink above.
Ryuu's lying flat on the rooftop tiles, one shoe off, holding a half-eaten protein bar over his face like it's blocking out the moon.
Tiny footsteps pad up.
NEZU: "You truly don't mind them watching?"
Ryuu doesn't look over. Just lobs the protein bar straight up, catches it.
RYUU: "They've been watching this whole time. I figured if I gave 'em a good show, maybe they would stop fast-forwarding through my life."
Nezu chuckles. "And if they don't like what they saw?"
Ryuu shrugs. "Then they need better taste."
He props himself up on one elbow and salutes a nearby air-duct camera with the last bite of his bar.
RYUU: "Hey, Commission guys. Hope you liked the bonus features."
He pauses, smirks.
"No refunds."
Beat.
RYUU: "…Unless you're selling action figures now. Then we'll talk."
Nezu says nothing. Just smiles.
Ryuu leans back again, eyes closed.
RYUU: "Anyway. Tell 'em to bring snacks next time."
