UA
Nezu, a being of unknown species, commonly known as 'The Principal' was having a normal day. Only difference between yesterday and today was All Might's visit. Nezu was eagerly playing in three different chess games online, while the big screen TV shows various live videos from his school's classes. The computer screen is divided into 3 gaming screens and 3 tabs regarding news about Villain attacks and economic updates. He has to follow the economic updates for opportunities and it has been good choice since he is currently the sixth wealthiest being. Nezu was finishing all the game in a win when the Slime villain attack pinged the news channel.
Since the game was finished and no immediate concerns to attend, Nezu started watching the villain attack in full screen and started a game of prediction. When there is an opportunity to watch live, Nezu usually make a game of the Villain attack with how the villains will be defeated and the results within minutes. He predicts how much time the Hero will take and usually he was correct about it. Seeing the heroes on the scene and villain's power, Nezu predicted the take down to have Kamui Woods attacking the eyes for causing pain as a distraction and Backdraft using water to liquify the slime, but alas, he again didn't take the Human emotions into consideration and his prediction of easy take down and the women being rescued becomes wrong. Nezu was not surprised by his prediction becoming wrong as human emotions are still a thing he can't get right every time, but he was very much surprised by the events after it.
Nezu was very much intrigued about the intelligence shown by the kid and started looking him up, he started with the public records and then into Aldera school's record about the kid. The results were very much conflicting with the details he has already deduced about the kid by seeing the video. His school records were average across all subjects. Intrigued, he started with latest results and went back to earliest and every result was average without any difference, even the marks across all subjects were almost same every year, except for the first publicly available result. That year Midoriya was among the top 10 across Japan Schools and first in Aldera. Seeing that he confirmed outside interference in the results and flagged Aldera for closer inspection.
Nezu pressed a button and the door to his office opened before Recovery Girl could knock and said, "Come in, I was expecting you, All Might will reach here in 10 minutes. Let's have some tea while we wait for him."
"Oh, how many times I have to say to never startle me, I am an old woman, you could lose the best asset you have and would have to follow the safety regulations other Hero Schools as to follow." Recovery Girl said mockingly.
"I don't have that worry, Recovery Girl, I am sure you will even outlive me." Nezu said while pouring a hot tea for themselves.
"So, what is the situation? Will All Might acknowledge the kid?" Recovery Girl asked.
"Of course, he will acknowledge him, I am sure of it. He is probably mired in guilt right now about failing to save the women." Nezu replied and opened the door for All Might to enter the room.
All Might nodded at the Principal, Recovery girl and Sir Nighteye who has joined through video call.
"So how much is true?" Recovery Girl asked
"Everything Midoriya said is what happened. The only thing he missed is the reason I missed the bottle holding the villain falling from my pocket is due to the kid jumping and holding my leg as I jumped, to ask me a question. I didn't want the kid to fall off and die." All Might replied and he informed them of the rest of the conversation with the kid.
Recovery Girl smacked All Might with her cain and snapped " You absolute idiot, after landing when he asked whether a quirk less could be a hero , You, Yagi Toshinori, told him he couldn't be a hero without a quirk. I never expected such hypocrisy from you, Yagi."
"I told him he couldn't be a hero without a quirk and I standby it. You are my healer and you have seen my injury. I have one of the most powerful quirk in the world , I am one of the strongest hero right now, and I only escaped death by a hair's width. Now, my hero time is lessening day by day and moreover I am weakening. What do you think I should have told him, when there are Villains like AFO, Dragon out there? How could he fight them without any power? All Might snapped back.
"He could be a hero with power and you know it, Yagi. He is young enough to take under your wing and mentor him, and if he seems good enough, he could even be the next holder of One For All after you. I mean you are after all in a time limit as you just said. Your time in your strong form is lessening and you are becoming weak. You should have at least encouraged him like once Nana did for you, you Oaf. It was a chance meeting between you and Nana, and Nana saw in you a determination, a will to do good, bordering on being insane and she mentored you and later gave you One For All. I see the same determination in that kid, bordering being insane, as he jumped and grabbed you as you flew off in Mach speed. I strongly believe that your meeting with him was not by mere chance, it was fated to be, just like Nana meeting you in that river side talking alone to a tree of all things." Recovery Girl finished in a sad tone.
"I was not even looking for a successor, Recovery girl. The pain of the injury and stress that I can't be in the streets was eating at me as I left UA, and it never occurred to me over the meeting. I only saw a reckless fanboy, albeit one very intelligent in analyzing fights and quirks overall and after he saw my true form I didn't connect any similarities between our situations." All Might said regrettably.
"The past is in the past, and there is no benefit for crying over spilled tea, All Might. After today I don't think he even want to be hero anymore. A considerable loss to hero society if his intelligence and skill was as you said. As of now the heroes are filled with flashy and powerful quirks, more over everyone want to fight and show off, there is a shortage for support heroes. Heroes who investigate, who plans and destroy the clever villains. Heroes like me and Sir Nighteye." Nezu said.
"Speaking of Nighteye, why are you not speaking Mirai? You stopped me from approaching the scene earlier by calling me." All Might asked.
"I was just thinking things thorough and for the record I completely agree with All Might saying no to the kid. Fighting against villains is a risky affair even with quirks. They may quote me as example and say that I am quirk less for 23 hours of the day, but they all forget that I never uses the entire 1 hour at the beginning of the day like a fool. I only use it sparingly, in fact I have not still fought a villain without predicting his moves till now and Recovery girl, an insane 10-year-old is not worthy of OFA, even if how similar to origin of All Might it is" Nighteye said.
"You have your opinion, Nighteye, I have mine" Recovery girl replied.
"I have not come here for arguing. I am going to have a press meet in 2 days' time, accepting responsibility and to apologise. I want to do it in a way that is least damaging to the hero society as a whole and the kid. Whatever will be the consequences I have to face, it doesn't matter, I will face it gladly." All Might said with conviction.
Nezu looked at All Might gravely and said, "All Might, if accepting responsibility is what you want to do I will support you and help you in preparation, but you have to know that the consequences will be faced by whole of heroes. For the public, All Might, you are the Hero Society. Whatever you want to tell the public is okay, but you absolutely should not say that you were in that scene as a bystander. If the public knows that, then it will be a very serious blow to the society. You should deflect and not tell anyone where you were at time. Now, let's discuss what you should say, how to say with least damage happening and what to say to utilise the situation and actually improve the hero society while we are at it by taking down the Demoness of HPSC a peg." As Nezu finished with a blood thirsty grin All Might suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
2 Days Later
Midoriya Izuku was currently resting in a hospital room. After he sat in in the medical van, the adrenaline left his system and he crashed like he has never done before. The emotional and physical tiredness of the day was exhausting like nothing else. It took 24 hours of continuous sleep and many bottles of IV to awake from his slumber. After he woke up today, the first thing he saw was Auntie Mitsuki and Bakugo.
"Izuku, I am so sorry for the loss of Inko. We will be there for you." Auntie Mitsuki said with a tired and sad voice. Izuku could see that both Bakugo's were crying recently.
"I don't know what to say, Auntie. Thank You for being here. You were always a good friend for my mother" Izuku replied.
"DEKU, Sorry about Auntie", Bakugo shrugged "eh whatever, when where you going to say you have a quirk to me. Were you laughing at me you bastard and what the hell are you doing by talking shit about All Might?"
Mitsuki slapped Bakugo behind his head and said, "now is not the time to say that you idiotic brat."
Izuku looked both Bakugo's in the eye and with intense stare at Katsuki he said, "I am sorry for saying this in front of you Auntie Mitsuki, Bakugo, as you have told me a million times, I am not your friend and I am really sorry for trying to force my friendship to you when it was unwanted. It will not happen again and please follow the minimum manners with me, from now on, I don't want to entertain your self-delusion of being a number one Hero when you are number one only in inferiority complex and bullying others to make yourself feel some self-worth. So, never call me Deku again, if you know what's good for you and please get out, I don't want to be in a room with the same person who told me to take a swan dive of a roof and die for getting a quirk in next life."
Izuku stopped for a couple of seconds and continued "Ah what do I know, you were correct, after All Might left me in the rooftop and I stared at the abyss for several minute. The only reason I didn't jump is because of my mother and a almost couple of minutes, I got my quirk. Thank you and Get out."
Bakugo was so angry and shocked that he couldn't even move. By the time he was lifting his arms to blast the smug grin off Deku's face, Mitsuki slapped his head hard and dragged him and threw him out of the room.
"I didn't know, Izuku, I am so sorry about him. So, you won't be coming and living with us, right?"
"Of course not. I don't want to live with him and I don't know where I will live anymore, foster homes I guess" Izuku said.
"Ah, then I am happy to inform you that, not to worry about your living situation as your father has arrived from America and looking into sort things and take you with him. He is currently downstairs handling the investigation and medical bills." Mitsuki told him.
Izuku was bewildered that his bastard of a father who abandoned his family when his quirk less status was confirmed, came back for him. The only thing he knows about his father is he sent enough liquid cash in post to my mother for our upkeep if spend conservatively.
"Ok then, I will wait for him." Izuku said.
After almost 30 minutes, a tall imposing man entered the room. Izuku stared at the man mesmerized, not because of the support equipment mask in his face or the fact that this was his father but because of the bright lights in his heart, His heart has a void similar as Izuku's but it was filled with so many lights. Ever since he woke up, Izuku could see and feel the quirks of people near him. He could see the quirks focusing on Bakugo's hands, he could see Quirk covering Auntie Mitsuki's entire body and similarly the hospital staffs quirks. He could feel the quirks and a connection to them if concentrated, and finally he understood yesterday that he didn't manifest his mother's quirk, he manifested something much more powerful. He manifested the power to take, use and maybe give quirks away. A power of a God in this quirk infested world. He hadn't told anyone about it, knowing that he will be jailed and experimented if it's known and finally the answer to how he developed this godly power is in front of him- His Father.
"Oh Izuku, I expected many things from you when you see me for the first time, mainly anger and sadness, not this surprise and happiness." With a silky charismatic self-assured voice his father said.
"Oh, I am not at all happy seeing you sir. I am happy that finally I got an answer to my query ever since I woke up." Izuku said in a false respectful way and tried to took hold of his father's quirk entirely, but found it impossible to cover. So, he found an interesting colour in the Void and took hold and give a powerful tug to indicate the meaning of what he said and of course to take a new quirk without the officials knowing.
The reprisal came in a swift painful way. His father's Quirk latched on to the tug, and pulled inwards to take it. Pain unlike anything hit Izuku and a cruel glint was visible in his father's eye. Izuku then and there understood the truth, His father is not there for him, not there because his wife died, his father is there only because the Quirk manifested. For 10 long years Izuku was powerless and he shall rather be dead than not again be quirk less, so Izuku fought back and finally escaped His Father's grasp.
"Ah, impressive, my son, to say things to hurt without saying, to fight against overwhelming force for what is yours just like 2 days ago, to give such passionate speech that everyone has to be influenced by with it. You prove to be my son, well ever since your quirk manifested." His father said mirthfully.
Izuku only give a fake smile as reply. Auntie Mitsuki looked between both of them with open curiosity to know what the hell is happening, but she got no answer from them.
"Anyway, it's time you come with me young man. I have been busy and the fruits of my labour can be used now. I have arranged for you to transfer to the prestigious Soumei Junior High School from that atrocious public school where your mother sent you to be abused." Hisashi said.
"What? No, my mother doesn't know anything and she loved and cared for me unlike someone I know. I will come with you and I need answers to many questions and anyway it's not like I have any other choice, after all You are my father." Izuku replied resignedly
"Oh, don't worry young man, why, because I am here now. I know a way to make you happy." Hisashi said and turned on the TV to the news channel. "Here, is the result of your wonderful speech 2 days ago. There is going to be live Press Meet called by All Might himself, where he will apologise to you. Now, Mrs Bakugo, thank you for watching over Izuku, you can go and rest now."
As Mitsuki left, Izuku stared at his father with an intense expression and asked, "Why are you mocking All Might, not a fan? and how are you so sure he will apologise, it is not like you know him or something as you were in America for almost your whole life."
"Oh, my sweet innocent child," All For One smirked with open cruelty and spoke. "You have to learn so many things, Izuku. All Might and me go way back. We were very old acquaintances; I saw him first time when he was only 17 or 18, I guess. Then for a long time, we couldn't meet up." As the cruel smirk in his father's face grew, Izuku knew he was infront of a dangerous individual and whatever is his father alluding to was very dangerous.
"… then, we met 2 years ago, you know, it was very memorable meeting for both of us. There were many gifts exchanged that will last a lifetime. You already know what gift I gave him, don't you My son, I can see it in the fear, horror and anger in your eyes, after all you saw the gift yourselves 2 days ago." All For One finished with a cruel mocking sound.
Izuku was beyond scared now. His father is a villain, no his father is The Villain, that All Might was afraid of, that injured All Might and made him crash my dreams in fear of injury.
"I see, Father, let's talk about that friendship and our shared genetics later in a private spot, let's watch what All Might has to say" Izuku said in a fake calm voice to not show weakness in front of The Villain. Both father and son concentrated on the TV as All Might arrived at the stage. The ever-present smile was there, but it was a forced smile and there was seriousness and a forced nature to it. Izuku knew all of All Might's smile as a former fanboy.
Immediately there was huge shout over and above others echoing different questions. All Might raised his hand for silence and in 1 minute the crowd became silent.
All Might started talking, "Thank you, everyone, for coming to this press meet when called. Now I have called it, to response to the allegation against me and the complaint with the Police against me. There shall be no questions, till I finish talking and than I will ask for the questions."
"Now," All Might continued, " The first thing I have to say is to Young Midoriya. Young Midoriya, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know, the loss of your mother, is not something that one can compensate with a sorry, I personally know the loss of a mother, and I can say nothing but apologise and say that wherever she is, she will be incredibly proud for you standing up for yourself and exposing something wrong in our society to whole of Japan, even when heroes were blaming you."
When All Might said about the personal loss of a mother figure, there was a loud cruel snort from Hisashi. Izuku looked inquisitively at his father and Hisashi said "His mother was his mentor and predecessor, Nana Shimura, we met like I told you earlier when All Might was young. I gave her a gift and unlike All Might, she didn't want to stay here for anymore gifts." Izuku paled at the open admission that his father killed All Might's mentor.
On the screen All Might continued the speech not knowing that the reason for the speech was watching it with his arch nemesis. All Might apologised again and continued, " Now, there was high amount of arguments about whether the boy lied to you or not about my involvement as no one reported seeing me in Mustafu. Today, I like to confirm everything the boy said about my involvement is true." At this the crowd started to whisper worriedly and the sound started increasing second by seconds.
"Silence," All Might said loudly and continued "Let me finish. I was in the area for personal reasons, when the alert for The Slime Villain went up in Hero Network, with my speed I tracked him down and he escaped to the underground drainage. I followed and caught him when the villain was strangling Young Izuku, who bravely held his breath till help arrives and the rest happened as the boy told you. The only thing he missed out due to the stress of the situation is that the conversation didn't happen in that underground bridge. I left him there and was going to submit the villain to the police, but as I jumped to fly away, Young Izuku, jumped and caught my leg to ask his question." The crowd was dumbfounded that the boy even could catch the leg and hold on without loosing the grip.
"Unfortunately, within the seconds I felt him holding my leg, I was already above the skyscrapers. It was very difficult to manoevre, to get a hold on the boy so that he didn't loose the grip and fall down to his death. Landing was also difficult as he was holding my legs. The bottle containing the Villain was dropped during that time, and since my complete concentration was in landing safely, I missed the drop. It was a careless mistake on my part that should not have happened and I deeply apologise. After the conversation I left the rooftop and it took me sometime to find that the bottle is missing, by that time everything was over. I also request the media and public, who is portraying the boy as a liar and attention seeking brat to stop it immediately. Attacking and abusing someone who opposes your worldview is not the right thing to do. To be a hero is to be honest and true to your own heart. I can't be a hero, if I didn't admit my mistake honestly and take responsibility for it. Thank you. You can ask any question one by one."
Izuku was surprised that All Might took responsibility for his mistake and didn't lie.
"So, Izuku are you happy to see the man humiliated in the national television, the reason for your mother's Death." Hisashi asked
"It doesn't matter whether All Might take responsibility or not, I don't really blame him for my mother's death. I blame the other 3 bastards for not doing what they were supposed to do. All Might may have been the indirect reason for dropping the bottle, and by that logic even I am indirectly responsible, but my fury and hatred is for the ones who were directly on the scene. They could have saved her and didn't do it. The only reason I filed a complaint against All Might to the Police is for to get the needed attention for the case against other heroes. I know even if All Might actually was on the scene and did nothing, the law will not touch him, but now since All Might is involved and actually innocent the other 3 will not escape just with a slap on the wrist, they will suffer real consequences so All Might can be freed without any public outrage." Izuku explained
"How intelligent of you, the skill in manipulation is just like me. Good work my son." Hisashi said enthusiastically, but Izuku understood that his father hadn't liked him saying All Might was innocent or that he didn't hate All Might himself.
As the more fresh reporters finished their almost irrelevant questions, Chitose Kizuki aka Curious stood up to ask her question.
"All Might, I have three questions for you about the things you have glossed over your talk right now that Midoriya mentioned. What is your opinion on the following statement by Midoriya "Today I paid the price with my mother's life so that every single one of you can think yourself about the rot in our society and how backwards the laws and culture regarding quirks is." Is it time to allow people to use their quirk in their daily life and change 200-year-old law made by the quirk less majority at that time?"
"The Second question is, what is this secret injury you had 2 years ago that he spoke of? The major fight you had was with that chainsaw man and you had no injuries in that fight. Why did you destroy a quirk less boys dream of becoming a hero when you have said anyone can be a hero many times over the years, was it all for show and ratings? I mean you have never stood up for any issues over the years, you have avoided all political comments in your media interaction. Are you secretly quirkist? Is that why you never stood up for quirk less or discriminated groups?
The third Question is what you have to say about the complaint filed by the boy against you."
After hearing the questions All Might looked at Curious and rest of the media and public intensely, suddenly there was a pressure in the air, almost similar pressure those who were in present for Izuku's speech felt. All Might nodded to himself like he had decided something important and started speaking.
"Very relevant questions there and the answer to all 3 questions begins the same. I am All Might, I have been a hero for 40 years and a Symbol of Peace for 35 years. In all my years of service, I have never cared for the Hero Rankings. I have never introduced my self as All Might, The Number One Hero of Japan. Truly I consider the Number one position given to me as a gift to me by the people of this country and nothing more. The only dream I had was peaceful streets and when the common man can go outside without fearing for their lives. 40 years ago the situation was quite dangerous, you youngsters can enquire the history records or ask your elders. The problem was there was no one to rally around, the heroes were afraid, no one wants to risk their lives and I decided to become a symbol, a symbol of peace, that the people will feel protected and safe when they see me or my smile. 5 years of hard work and I succeeded and I kept it till now. Now, this is the history of my hero career everyone knows about or can learn very easily, let me tell you about my origin."
"I am an orphan and I grew up in a very dangerous neighborhood. I had no one, until I met my mentor the Pro Heroine Nana Shimura. She was one of the greatest hero, now you may not recognise her from any rankings as she didn't cared for it. She only cared about saving people and justice. It was her, who taught me to smile. When she heard about my dream of becoming a symbol of peace for the public, she didn't laugh like everyone else, she trained me and encouraged me. I still remember her words that inspired my smile. She told me "When you have to save someone, they're usually in a scary situation. A true hero saves not only their lives, but also their hearts... That's what I believe. So, no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, "I'm a-ok". The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest" and I still follow it. Similar to her I never give any political statements till now. I know the influence I have over the public and such power is overwhelming and could cause untold damages if misused. So, I avoided it till now, I never cared about the rankings, I have never acted in any advertisement or movies till now, I have never promoted any political ideologies. I have never profited from any merchandise or movie about my likeness. All royalties I get go to charities and orphanages. Now with this background you can understand my answers to the questions you have raised."
"The easiest one is the complaint raised by Young Midoriya, over my 40 years of commitment to heroism I have earned every certification there is to be a Pro Hero. I have earned my Basic Detective License so that I can investigate, I have fire fighter license, I have rescue license in any scenario and similarly I have obtained Emergency medical nurse certificate so I can identify the injuries and save people efficiently. The case of Young Midoriya was not any emergency and I could come to that judgement just with my 40 years of hero experience not even the medical certificate is necessary. The rest of the charges filed by Midoriya is under investigation and if our justice system is of the opinion that I am guilty, I will follow any punishment as any citizen should do."
"Now for the first question, I have no comments to make on that political issue. You have taken a genuine statement from Young Midoriya and interpreted it as you want."
"Now for the second and most difficult question. The injury I suffered is from a Villain with Class 6 quirk and the details are classified and cannot be given at this time. I am not secretly a quirkist, until recently I never knew that the situation has been worsened to such dangerous levels and the main reason for is that my presence as the number one hero for decades. I always have supported them through my charities and since more popularity is not what I need,I never said anything. As you, yourself told in the question, I never meddle in politics due to the inherent influence I have and of course because of my mentor, whose footsteps I followed, but it seems that my own silence itself is a statement and created many problems. So today I like to change it…
"I do not view flashy, physical quirks as the heroic quirks. In reality there is no heroic quirk or villain quirk, only heroic hearts, it's your determination, will power and desire to help others make you a hero, not the rankings, not the money, not the fame."
Everyone watching can feel the pure passion in which All Might expressed his opinion and many powerful people in Japan was quite upset by it.
"I also like to announce that from tomorrow onwards my agency shall operate a 20 telephone line for asking for help, if you are discriminated for your quirks, caste, sex, preference or colour. I shall also appoint only quirk less people for this job, so that every case shall be taken seriously. I shall also provide a vocation and fund education of people who couldn't get it because of quirk discrimination. They can also contact the same telephone number. Thank you everyone, Any more questions?"
"All Might, you avoided my question. Isn't quite hypocritic to say that the hearts make the heroes, not the quirks and to destroy Midoriya's dream." Curious asked.
"There was no hypocrisy involved. Let me make it clear for all the quirk less children who wants to be 'Pro Heroes' like us. It has been 20 years since Principal Nezu allowed Quirk less applicants in hero course of UA at my recommendation. Since, then no one has passed the first year of the course and only five people have passed the entrance test. They all dropped to general, support or business course because they understood the truth. Having a quirk is an advantage that cannot be overcome by normal means and since every quirk is unique, you can't even plan around every scenario. Now you may think that he could use support equipment's, he could learn martial arts and learn to fight from a young age and everything, but everyone forgets one thing, the villains who have powerful quirks can also do this and your advantage is lost. I am sorry to say this is the plain reality of our world. Being a professional hero is not something a quirk less person could be."
Now, I didn't destroy the dream of becoming Hero of Young Midoriya. I only told him he should not pursue Pro Heroship and choose other ways to become a Hero. I only told that his talents will be wasted by trying to become a Pro Hero. I encouraged him to become a Police officer or fire fighter. I consider them the real heroes of our world. They have been protecting us even before quirks and they will protect us even after quirks. In fact, my best friend is not Endeavor or Principal Nezu, it's a detective. I understood from the note books maintained by him that Young Midoriya's intelligence, determination and passion could do wonders for our society if he became a Police officer or become a politician or business man. Whatever he becomes I could see changes in the society and he proved me correct within an hour even though the cost was very high. His intelligent observation of our society, and impassioned speech opened even my eyes to the blight in the peaceful era I built with my sweat, blood and tears and I will work hard to remove it root and stem and continue the peaceful era even after my retirement. I hope everything is clear now, and Young Midoriya, if you also understood that I told you can never be a hero, I meant a Pro Hero, and I apologise for not making it clear then. In my eyes you are already a great hero now. Thank you." All Might concluded
"Retirement All Might? Are you planning already?" A reporter asked
"I am not a young man anymore. 40 years is a long time for fighting and even if my heart wants to fight the good fight, the body is not willing. Officially, I am not planning retirement for the next decade, but you can't predict the future, may be a villain may be too much for me, anyway, no one needs to worry for now, Why? Because I am here!! All Might finished with a bright smile and the crowd erupted in overwhelming cheer.
Izuku was bewildered that All Might himself consider him a hero. Whatever problems he had with All Might, he is a great hero and for him to say that is a great honour for Izuku.
"So, have you decided to betray me to All Might yet, now that he recognised you as a hero and help you achieve your greatest dream." Hisashi asked venomously.
"Words are wind father, as you should know. Let me see whether there is any change in status quo. I have not decided yet. I don't want to inherit a feud or hatred like All Might did against you. Similarly, I don't want to inherit your hatred for All Might too. If I want to hate someone or destroy someone I will do it for my own reasons not someone else's." Izuku said.
"Good for you. As your father I will give you a single advice, 'If you come at the King, you better not miss'." Hisashi said mockingly "Now, let's leave this hospital and settle you in your new home."
AN
I wonder what Endeavor's reaction was when he saw All Might's press meet. To realise that your entire life's goal was against an opponent who didn't even care he has it in the first place. What a fate.
