While Suzuki was walking back towards the entrance of the school, he thought about the conversation he just had with All-Might and Nezu.
-*-*-*-
Before Suzuki left the room, he remembered something really important. He then turned around to ask once again what he wanted to know.
"You still didn't tell me who was the one who injured you Toshinori."
"Ah yes, it was my arch-nemesis, thankfully I beat him so you don't need to worry about him too much."
"What was his name?"
"All for One. He has the same name as his quirk, it gives him the power to steal and give quirks... I will let you know another one of my secrets, as you already know my identity and hopefully, you can help my successor when he will need your services."
"A successor? I didn't know that you had a child, and as for your secret, if it permits me to know more about the famous 'All for One', there is no harm to know it." Suzuki said, turning completely to look at them.
"No, he isn't my son but I gave him my quirk, I also trained him."
"You... gave him your quirk? Isn't it the ability of AFO?" Suzuki asked, surprised that AM can do that.
('AFO' is All for One. 'AM' is All Might.)
"Yes, my quirk is not mine. I inherited it from my master who herself inherited from someone else. Its name is [One for All], it is a stockpiling quirk, it can increase the strength of the quirk of the user, but since I was quirkless, I used it to increase my physical strength to the peak." Toshinori said, looking with intensity at Suzuki.
It wasn't the first time that he unveiled his secret to someone else, but here, he had almost no information on the young man in front of him, apart from his connexions to the government and his record of lives saved as substantial as his own. He chose to entrust him with his secret because he will soon have his life in his hands.
"She gave you this quirk? It is the first time that a quirk like this appears in this world."
A frown on his face, Suzuki thought about differents scenarios leading to the creation of this quirk.
'An experimentation? A stroke of luck? A natural cause... no there is no chance that it can be that. This quirk seems to have gone for a long time, only quirks of the news generations are this complex.'
"You are speculating about the origin of [One for All], right?" Nezu asked.
"Indeed, the probability of a quirk like that appearing in the old generations is almost equal to zero and I don't think that it can be experimentation either since once again, old generations didn't have as much information about quirks that we now do. It only leaves us with a stroke of luck."
'Incredible, such a high faculty of deduction.' Nezu thought, looking at Suzuki.
"The story of its creation is confusing as we don't know all the details of the event, but we theorized that it was due to an action of AFO since he seemed to pursuit each holder of OFA, thankfully, I beat him a few years ago and gave him a fatal wound."
Releasing a heavy sigh, Toshinori sat on the couch, really tired of the whole story.
"I see... Is there a possibility of him still being alive?" Suzuki asked.
"Even if he is, he won't be able to do much to anyone, he would probably be between death and life." Toshinori said, a serious expression on his face.
"But if he is..."
"He will try to reach for you, you can surely heal him more than any regenerating quirk can. So that's why you should be aware of who wants your help." Toshinori finished.
"I see. Don't worry for me, if he wants me so bad, then he can always try as hard as he wants." Suzuki said, opening the door. "No need to accompany me. I know the way... I think."
-*-*-*-
'All for One... a threat to who? Not me.' Suzuki thought, looking towards the blue sky, ignoring the differents looks he received from the girls around.
A few seconds later, his phone vibrated, a message coming from Erza.
[Babe, bring some cake when you come back, please. There is something I want to celebrate with you. :)]
He read the message and wrote his reply, sending it immediately after.
[Understood, wait for me I will come back as soon as I can. Love you.]
To which she replied.
[Thanks! Love you, babe!]

Waiting for a few more minutes, Suzuki saw Momo exiting the doors of Yuei, a smile on her face.
"Have you waited for a long time?" She asked, walking toward him.
"No, I got here some minutes ago. I was observing the cloud's shapes."
"Let's go back to my house, I can't wait to tell you how it went!" She said, pulling him by his tattooed right hand towards where he parked his motorbike.
After a few minutes of driving, the duo arrived at Yaoyorozu's mansion. Suzuki drove inside the opened gate leading to the mansion, parking near one of the black cars.
The two of them walked toward a bench in the luxurious garden and they sat, talking about how Momo found the exam.
She was stronger than her counterpart in the original version, getting second only to the guy whose quirk was producing wind.
They talked for a full hour before Suzuki needed to leave.
"When will you come back?" Momo asked, getting sad at his departure.
"Since you will soon begin your years of study, we will see each other much less than usual. But don't worry, you just have to call me with the satellite phone to request my help."
Understanding this, she nods her head at him.
"With that, see you next time, and don't forget. Never underestimate yourself."
Suzuki then walked towards his motorbike and drove towards the nearest bakery.
'First thing to do, buy a big cake for Erza.' He thought before walking inside.
Inside the bakery, three people were inside, one employee and one girl, a customer.
The girl had messy blonde hair and wore a school uniform, she was looking at chocolate pastries, a finger on her chin.
"Hello, mister!" The employee said looking at him, a smile on her face.
She was pretty annoyed by the girl who was looking at the pastries without a slight intention of buying anything.
"Hello, can I have your best strawberry cake please?" Suzuki asked, approaching the counter.
"Yes, I will bring it to you immediately." She said, going at the back of the store.
Once she left the room, the two customers were stuck together. And a heavy silence invaded the atmosphere.
"Tell me..." She said, still looking at the pastry.
"Hm?" Suzuki turned his attention to her.
"Can you buy me those pastries?" She asked looking at him a 'sweet' smile on her face.
"Why should I? I don't know you and you have nothing to offer me."
He replied, looking at her with his abysslike eyes.
"I can..." Her smile becoming creepier. "... offer you, me." She said, showing him her cleavage.
"What's your name?" He asked, his eyes not budging from her face.
"Himiko Toga."
"Is this the first time?" He asked.
"First time that what?" She asked perplexed.
"The first time that you try to lure random people into your deadly trap."
"?!" Immediately shocked to hear that she was discovered, she didn't retreat but instead reached for the pocket of her cardigan.
"If I were you, I wouldn't try to stab me with this toy." He said, completely turning his body towards her.
"Who are you? A hero?" Extremely wary of him, she was ready to strike if he did the slightest move against her.
"A hero? I don't think that I will ever be one. I am only a surgeon trying to buy a cake for his girlfriend currently." He said, his hand still in his pockets.
"... How do you know that I lure men like that?" She asked a creepy smile on her face.
"Simple, you stink blood and death, and even if it is really weak, your bloodthirst is making anyone near you instinctively be wary of you." He replied, not bothered at all.
"...So, can you buy me the pastries? I don't want to be forced to kill you." She asked, hiding the knife she had in her hand, back in her pocket.
"Why not, you seem to need it." He said, turning his attention towards the employee who was coming back.
She was completely unaware that a fight almost happened in the short lapse of time where she went taking a bag big enough to put the cake inside.
"Thanks, I will also buy those pastries for her." He said, pointing at the pastries which were observed by Himiko until then.
-*-*-*-
"Thanks for the patronage!" The lady of the bakery said, bowing to the leaving figure of Suzuki who was followed by Himiko.
'It is getting dark.' He thought, looking at the sky.
"I still have another question." Himiko who was following him said.
"Toga is it? What do you want?" He asked seeing that he couldn't make her stop following him.
"Call me Himiko, I want you to be my friend!"
"My friend... Why not can you stop following me now?" He asked, walking toward a dark alley, he knew that something wasn't right with the way she was looking at him.
She put the bag where her pastries were on the ground, and slowly pull her knife from her pocket.
"As a surgeon, you must see a lot of blood...right?"
"What is your point?" He asked, ignoring her knife.
"Can I... see you bleed!" She said, running toward him, the knife on her right hand slashing at his throat.
However, contrary to what she expected to see, he wasn't on the ground, bleeding to death, he just had his head slightly tilted on the back, the knife passed in front of his throat without cutting anything.
"Huh?" Surprised to see him dodging so easily, Himiko didn't have the time to dodge his approaching head who hit her in the middle of his face.
Feeling the pain, she retreated while holding her bleeding nose.
"Woman, man, young and old. If you attack me, there is no way that I don't replicate." He said while straightening up, he stood at 189 cm exactly, the cake still on his hands.
His appearance was really strange, given that blood was flowing from his forehead.
"You wanted me to bleed, but for now you are the only one who bled." He said, a smile on his face, making his current appearance even more strange.
Hearing his words, Toga suddenly smiled, the craziest smile she ever had in her entire life.
"You are the funniest of all my previous boyfriends... Let's play!"
