After All Might went to Ichika's school for bad behavior, he drops into a Cafe in his deflated form. In one of the table, he found the old man wearing a butler suit while he's cleaned up his monocle. All Might sat with him in the table.
The waitress served All Might with a cup coffee.
"Hello, you must be Ichika's father, Yagi Toshinori. Nice to meet you. My name is Sebastian. You can call me Master. I've been working with Falcon for 6 years in a secret bounty hunter organization."
The old man took a sip on his coffee elegantly.
"...Are you aware of my identity?"
"Of course, I know... but don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I swear that to Falcon."
All Might looked at him seriously.
"You know, what Ichika did this morning was awful! Why did you went along with his plan?!"
The old man's eyes became sharp then he glared at him.
"First of all... I want to tell you this... I also hated the Pro Heroes. Thanks to them, our secret bounty hunters organization got destroyed. Those bastards took advantage of Captain Falcon's disappearance and raided all of our bases. Some of our information broker got caught and the organization had been dissolved forcedly. Many people who lost their only job and have no other choice but join into some villain organizations because they are treated like a wanted criminals. You call themselves justice but those guys are no different from villains. We are only buying and selling information to others."
All Might suddenly remembered what Ichika told him last night.
*Heroes and Villains....huh? The two are more alike than you realize, All Might.*
"Well, enough of that. Falcon gathered all remaining members including me and form a new group. We still gathers information but only for him. Just a month ago, he founded a music company and he made us do the process of publishing his own songs and music. All of them became big hits and the company earned a lot of money... Now, you asked me why I went along with him... It's trust. Something you can't buy with money. He changed a lot of people lives and make it better. He is our CEO regardless of he is right or wrong. We'll follow him till the end."
The old man explained proudly as he took another sip on his coffee.
All Might was surprised when he learned the things the Ichika have been without him noticing.
"But I understand you... As an adult and a father, you're worried about him. You might already heard about this but at his young age of 3 years old, he was already carrying the burden of saving his home orphanage from getting bankrupt. In order to survive, he learned how to use his quirks early and used it earn money to support the orphanage. That was the time he joined my organization and became a bounty hunter. The longer years he stays at the orphanage, the more orphaned children he meets and heard about their stories. Most of them are children who failed by these Pro Heroes to save their parents. This made Ichika's trust in so called Pro Heroes to crumble down and see them as nothing but incompetents."
All Might was silent and keep listening to his story. That was all he could do.
"Even I lost my son and grandson in an accident caused by the intense battle of Heroes and Villains."
"I-I-I'm sorry..."
"No, it's okay. I already realized that you guys are humans too just like me and you can't save everyone."
That hurt All Might deep inside his heart.
"Ichika might be genius, but he's still a child. I beg you, please take care of him."
"Yes..."
"Don't worry, he is just too worried about Mirko that he did something crazy. As long he still has sympathy and compassion, he will never become a villain. Let him reflect from his actions... Anyway, thank you for listening to my stories."
"It's fine! It's fine!"
"Let me treat something since both of us are taking care of that kid."
"No, it's okay!"
All Might looks flustered.

(MC's POV)
After learning about Rumi's whereabouts, I realized what I did this morning was pretty childish. I was too worried about Rumi that I came up something stupid and vent my frustrations on the Pro Heroes on the road. The incompetents of the other pro heroes gave more Rumi a lot of work to do.
Just this month, Rumi's hero ranking went up faster to top seven and she became the most top female pro hero in Japan. I was so proud of her but the danger she'll be facing will be much higher.
I will have to apologize to my homeroom teacher later for trouble I caused.
Now, I'm currently reflecting on my actions from this morning and before I knew it,
"Hm?"
I already finished preparing the dishes for home economics class. It was a full course cuisine from different countries.
Everyone from the class was amazed by my dishes.
(Img<<<)
No one wants to group with me that why I made those by myself. It's not on Chef Bakugou's level yet but I think it's already good enough.
"Umm... Ichika-kun!"
The first one who approached me was Toru.
"Hm?"
"Can I have a taste of it? Just a little, please?"
"Sure, you can have some. I prepared a lot."
"What?!!"
Everyone was shock while I'm confused of their reaction.
"Eh? Are you sure?" Toru asked me again.
"Yeah, you can even call your friends if you want." I smiled at her.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, she froze in front of me and I don't know the reason.
...
"Hey, Toru! Are you okay?"
Before I noticed, everyone was panicking in the class including the teacher.
"Everyone! Ichika is speaking to us!"
"The cold guy who never spoke with anyone has finally said something!"
"That smile!"
"Yeah, it's deadly."
Some of girl's faces are beet red.
This made me even more confused.
"Ichika-kun finally went dere-dere!"
"Something is about to happen!"
The teacher doesn't know what to do.
Glancing at Toru,
"Toru! Say something?"
"Ehh?!"
She looks flustered.
"No! I'm fine ! I'm fine!"
"Everyone is acting weird."
"I think Ichika-kun is the one who's acting weird."
"Eh?"
I just realized that my wariness has already disappeared and I don't have to act cold to others.
After that, Toru invited everyone to eat the food I made and they all love it. The teacher was crying when she tasted every dishes I made and gave me the highest grade.

Our next class became self-study and everyone was just chatting and playing around the classroom. I decided to sleep on my table since I didn't have enough rest last night.
Sitting next to me was Toru and she's chatting with her friends.
"Eh... Toru-chan? You're friends with Ichika-kun?"
"That's right!"
Toru sounds happy about it.
"How did you do it?"
"I asked him yesterday then he agreed."
"That's all? Not a romantic encounter just like on TV I watched?"
"We're just friends!" Toru retorted.
"He might have the looks and skilled in everything but he's quirkless."
"Ssssh! He might hear you!"
"He's sleeping."
"He might pretending."
"Uhmm..."
"What is it, Toru-chan?"
"Ichika-kun is not quirkless."
"What?!!"
Sounds like everyone in the classroom was surprised.
"What do you mean 'Not Quirkless', he hasn't shown his quirk nor telling us anything about it." one of our male classmates spoke to her.
"I mean, he has a quirk and I confirmed yesterday. Let me show you."
I can sense that she's approaching me slowly while trying to touch my right hand.
When her hand was near mine, I suddenly grabbed her arm.
"RAAWRR!!!"
"GYAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
*Peeeeeww!*
She screamed in surprise as her invisibility wore off and get nullified by my quirk.
Her expression was priceless.
"Got yah!"
Everyone was astonished when they saw her real appearance without her invisibility.
(Img<<<)
Toru got angry and pounded me.
"Ichika-kun, you dummy!"
"Hahahahaha!"
I just laughed hard as she gets mad at me.
"Moo!!"
Our classmates around were speechless.
(To be continued.)
