Sukuna’s grin, matched by Mirio, continued to widen, as he counted six main sections emulating scenarios.

The center of the facility, which connected to the entrance and the simulation areas.

The northeast section, which simulated a destroyed urban environment, multiple buildings lying in precarious conditions.Full novel: The Double-faced Specter — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

The east section of the facility, which simulated a sloped terrain with assorted debris.

The south section, which simulated a rocky, mountainous area filled with cliffs.

The southwest section, simulating an urban environment set on fire.

The west section, simulating a maritime environment with a lake, a ship and even a water slide.

The northwest section, which simulated an urban environment constantly being hit by heavy rainfall and strong winds.

When Sukuna’s eyes returned to the center, his grin froze, as he saw something strange in the middle of the building that they were in.

No, not something…

Someone.

‘Somethings wrong.’ Sukuna frowned.

‘If Aizawa didn’t mention a hero accompanying him to the class, then it would make most sense for the space hero herself to make an appearance, since Thirteen was the one who developed this training facility.

Who is that?’ Sukuna’s frown remained on his face, as he analyzed the hulking figure standing in the middle, disgusting Sukuna by the fact that it’s brain was exposed.

It was a large, gray figure with a chainsaw for one hand, and a katana for the other.

It was drooling from its mouth, it’s eyes completely blank, as if it was a lifeless statue.

Sukuna had never seen a hero like this.

No, scratch that, he had never seen a creature like this.

Did his presence finally bring about the existence of Cursed Spirits in this reality?

‘No, that still wouldn’t make sense.’ Sukuna thought.

‘The first ever cursed spirit born from my cursed energy wouldn’t be this strong.

I’d bet the opposite, a fly head at most.

Since the leakage of my cursed energy is so minimal it’s nearly invisible.’ Sukuna concluded his thoughts, looking at Aizawa.

Aizawa, who appeared deeply shaken.

That confirmed Sukuna’s suspicions.

It looks like they had an uninvited guest.

“Woah, this place is amazing.

We’ve even got a dummy standing there, to test our quirks on!” Tamashi pointed out, excited.

Aizawa cut through their excitement instantly, his voice filled with urgency.

“No, that thing isn’t a dummy.

I don’t know what it is, so I need all of you to stay back.” “No.” Sukuna’s reply interrupted Aizawa from speaking further, as Sukuna stepped forward.

“That thing..

It’s not human, Aizawa.

I can tell it once was a human, though.

Just look at its eyes.

They most likely tortured its mind until it’s thoughts stopped forming.” Sukuna explained, disturbing his classmates, who had a bad premonition.

“It’s..

A Quirk experiment.

That chainsaw and katana it has for hands, most likely the forceful fusion of another quirk into the original body, causing it to destabilize and trying to self destruct.

A regular humans body wouldn’t be able to handle two quirks, usually, which makes sense with my analysis so far.

But that thing..

It most likely has a third quirk.

A regeneration one, to keep its body from blowing up.” Sukuna concluded, looking at the Nomu with a deep frown on his face.

Aizawa, knowing that Sukuna wouldn’t lie to him, grimaced.

“a Quirk experiment?

Fine then, I’ll have you go at it, since I’m assuming that’s what you want to do.

But..

Don’t kill it.” Aizawa stopped for a moment, looking at Sukuna with a serious expression.

“If it can’t be helped, then go ahead and kill it.

But if there’s even a slight chance of saving that thing..

I would like for you to keep it alive.” Sukuna, out of respect for his teacher, nodded.

“I’ll try my best.” With that, Sukuna reinforced his entire body to its limits, as he jumped forward, landing right infront of the gigantic creature.

‘It’s most likely reaching 7 feet in height.

How impressive.’ Sukuna mused, as the creature suddenly noticed him, and roared.

The roar coming from its mouth confirmed Sukuna’s other suspicion.

‘There is no way to turn this thing back into the human it once was.’ Sukuna grimaced, stepping aside, as a gigantic chainsaw landed where he was a moment ago.

The ground caved in vertically, the force of the Nomu’s attack sending a visible, chainsaw-shaped shockwave, which Sukuna promptly ignored by exploding the Cursed Energy beneath him, dodging the shockwave as well.

Sukuna pointed his hand at the creature, it’s speed and strength making him feel the slightest bit of danger.

‘Nothing to worry about, though.

It’s regeneration most likely can’t recover from this.’ “Dismantle.” Sukuna spoke, and the creature was cut in half, a line appearing at the top of its brain and it’s torn pants, before the creature fell down in two.

However..

What happened next made Sukuna’s eyes widen, as a katana cut through his shoulder, making him grunt in surprise.

The creature quickly healed, leaving it’s former half on the ground, as it attacked Sukuna while he was caught off guard.

‘Hyper regeneration..?’ Sukuna thought, as he chopped the Nomu’s arm off, before backing away with another explosion beneath him.

Sukuna frowned, ignoring the roar of the creature, as he took out the katana from his shoulder and threw it away.

“I guess I’ll get a little serious, then.” Flames covered his hands, as he brought them up.

“Come.” Sukuna grinned, before he leaned back, not letting the monster bite him with its mouth.

It’s tongue tried to lick at his face, before Sukuna promptly cut it into cubes with Dismantle.

Bringing his arm up, Sukuna put his palm on the creatures neck.

“Cleave!” He yelled, pouring a fraction of his Cursed Energy into the attack.

The effect was instant.

The monsters neck simply disappeared, it’s head falling on Sukuna’s face…

If he hadn’t stepped aside at the last moment.

“Come on, don’t pretend to be dead.

I know you can heal from that.” Sukuna taunted the thoughtless creature, as it grew another head in an instant, which spooked him slightly.

“Scary~” Sukuna grinned, before they both got into a high speed combat sequence that left his classmates shocked yet again.

The Nomu went all out on Sukuna, swinging both of its arms, chainsaw and katana at Sukuna in hypersonic speeds.

Sukuna, however, either blocked a slice from the katana – he had increased his reinforcement, not underestimating this thing anymore – or ducked underneath a wild swing of the chainsaw.

Sukuna continued to use cleave and Dismantle, until he felt it was finally time.

‘A regular Fuga should kill this thing, since it’s regeneration can most likely be countered by carbonizing and completely incinerating it’s cells with extreme heat.’ Sukuna thought, still dodging, as he jumped back even further, until he was standing next to Aizawa.

“Step back a bit, it’ll get hot in here.” Sukuna warned.

“That goes for all of you, too.” He glanced back at his classmates, who nodded without question.

“◽, Fuga.” Sukuna’s first words were muted, as if reality itself didn’t want others to hear the horrible curse that he muttered.

Sukuna’s hands lit up with flames, as he moved his arms and hands around, fusing the two bursts of his divine flames and forming an arrow with them.

“Goodnight.” He gave the creature, which was sprinting at him, a tight smile.

“I hope you find peace in death.” And with that, he launched his divine flame.

The Nomu was completely incinerated, alongside the water fountain and the dome at the top, as the flames rose up even further, until they could be seen by anybody who was standing outside of the USJ building.

Sukuna gave it a sympathetic gaze, as he continued to speak.

“Sensei.

Can you guys find who did this?” He asked, looking at Aizawa seriously.

“We’ll do.” Aizawa nodded, just as grim and serious.

“Not just conducting illegal experiments, but also torturing humans to the point where they can’t think..

Whoever did this probably sent it here as a test.

What a gross individual.” Sukuna spat, his face crunched.

“Well, I’ll have this training session of yours cancelled as well.

Hado, call the police.

We need to figure out who did this as soon as possible.” Aizawa turned towards Nejire, who looked scared, as she nodded and brought her phone close to her face.

Sukuna, meanwhile, continued to look at the decimated center of the USJ.

‘Why do I have a bad feeling about this?’ He thought, his intuition screaming at him.

‘Why do I feel like this is just the beginning?’ ____________________ All for One, who had been watching the footage from the cameras around the USJ, grinned, as he laughed out loud.

“Hah!

What fantastic strength for a first year.

Keep growing, my little lamb.

So that you’ll be more delicious when the time comes..

For me to devour your quirk.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Hamood0831 All for One, thanks to Sukuna’s existence, sent a Nomu much earlier than in canon.

A weaker one than the anti-All Might one, but what do you guys think?

Sukuna also got to show off his strength!

Hope you guys liked this chapter.
