At night, he went down to Takoba and stood at the shallow end of the beach. His skin glowed silver as he meditated and concentrated his lunar powers, and he felt the tug of connection as he opened his eyes and placed his hands above the water surface. He glanced at the water as it was attracted to his hand, and watched as the water levels of the shallow end were slowly rising, in accordance with his hands. He dropped his hands and deactivated his power, causing the water to drop down to its regular level. He walked out of the shallow end and glanced at the moon, calming his nerves every time he looked at it.Zuko sat down and listened to the crashing of the waves, and the serene feeling he felt when he relaxed in the moonlight.
After the first 5 months passed,zuko managed to clean the entire beach, with the help of his quirk. He felt his body changing as he looked at himself in the mirror, seeing his body more defined and a growing 6 pack. He flexed a little and saw his arm and leg muscles also built. He smiled as his training with All-Might was keeping his body in tip-top form. All-Might was impressed with his student's accomplishments and looked at the spotless beach, causing his grin to widen as he then plucked a strand of hair and approached the young boy.
"Young zuko, you have far exceeded my expectations and even cleaned this beach in half the time! I believe you are ready to inherit my power! Please, eat this." He presented his strand of hair to zuko, who looked at it then to the hero before looking back at the strand.
"Seriously...?"Zuko deadpanned as he grabbed the strand of hair and looked at the bashful look on All-Might's face.
"W-well, yes, but it isn't ideal. But, you need to consume my DNA to inherit my quirk, One-For-All. The quirk is a combination of two quirks, one to stockpile power, and the other to transfer the quirk to others. With this, my boy, you will become the 9th holder of this quirk. I'm sure you will be able to even surpass me and become the greatest hero of all time. All you got to do is believe in yourself and to always give your PLUS ULTRA!" All-might said and gestured zuko to ingest the strand. After his idol's pseudo speech, he calmed his nerves and ate the strand. He swallowed it as he felt disgusted, but deemed it necessary and held his stomach. After a couple of seconds, he felt nothing and looked at All-Might.
"Nothing has happened yet." All-Might chuckled and walked up to the boy's side.
"You have inherited my quirk, how about you try and try a smash. Do a Detroit Smash." All-Might said and punched out a Detroit Smash, causing a huge amount of force to suddenly appear and separate the ocean water, creating a path before everything went to normal.Zuko looked on in amazement before looking focused and reeled his hand back.
"Detroit Smash!" He punched out, sending a Detroit Smash, but suddenly, a huge amount of pain soared through up his arm as several of his muscles instantly tore. His arm started to bleed profusely as zuko tried to hold in his tears as the pain he felt was unbearable. All-Might rushed up to the boy and started to panic. He was about to take him to a hospital, but zuko stopped him. He held up his hand and it started to glow silver as the moon seemed to glow even brighter, and it seemed to be in sync with his arm. His hand slowly started to repair itself as the green-haired boy felt the pain go away and he slowly stood up, but almost fell. He was caught by All-Might and the Pro-Hero noticed that his pupil fell asleep and grinned.
