What if the greatest threat to hero society was the one who studied them best? They call him Zero—a villain who dismantles heroes with cold precision and a battered green notebook filled with their weaknesses. No one knows where he came from or why he seems to know Class 1-A's every move before they make it. But when a certain hot-headed hero-in-training looks into his eyes and sees a ghost, Zero's carefully constructed mask begins to crack. When the two make a dangerous bargain to settle who's on top once and for all, the stakes couldn't be higher: if Zero wins, hero society falls. But if the hero manages to win this battle, the villain's carefully built facade will shatter. Can the boy beneath finally stop running and face the truth?
