Kuoh Academy – Rooftop
The wind tugged at the school's banner as dusk settled over the town.
The MC stood still, eyes scanning the sky—not for clouds or birds, but for cracks in the story only he could see.
[Dimension Chat Group: New Member – Nick Fury]
A shadow passed over the sun.

[Chat Log: Eye of Surveillance Online]
Nick Fury:
> This isn't S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't recognize your chain of command.
Kazuma:
> That's because it's chaos with snacks.
Deadpool:
> Sup, boss! You here to fire me again?
Rimuru:
> I feel like he already knows everything about us.
MC:
> Welcome, Director Fury. We need your mind. Not your trust.
Fury:
> That's fine. I never give it freely anyway.

[World Transfer: Starknet Core – Neural Sky Grid]
Fury arrived with the MC at an artificial orbit over the planet—giant satellite nodes stitched together in webs of data lines and feedback loops.
The air was cold. The grid breathed.
And at the center of the satellite cluster sat the corrupted Champion: Eye Prime, once a human intelligence officer, now merged with global surveillance tech, his body a shell of floating cameras, signals, and scripts.
"I see everything," Eye Prime whispered. "Even your next line."
Fury (cocking his pistol):
> Then you saw this coming.

[Battle Begins – Spy vs Surveillance]
MC activated "Phase IX: Cloak of Null Certainty" — a reality filter that shrouded their presence in narrative static, jamming the surveillance grid.
Eye Prime screeched. "No! You're off-record! UNINDEXED!"
Fury advanced calmly.
Fury's Special Move: "Black Budget Strike"
He triggered a cascade of ghost protocols—phantom data loops, false world lines, counter-histories.
It overloaded Eye Prime's logic engines.
"ERROR—ERROR—PARADOX INTEGRITY LOST—"
MC used "Lore Drain" to sever the corrupted core from the timeline threads.
Fury fired a single round into the Champion's core node.
Silent explosion. All screens went dark.

Fury:
> I can work with that.

[Back in Kuoh – 5 Minutes Later]
MC walked past the library just as Rias and Sona discussed recent "distortions" in magical tracking systems.
He paused, unseen in the hallway's shadow.
Just a student.
Just another shadow in the system.
