So, half a year passed. Summarizing the results, 17 babies out of 100 survived until the end of the term. While they were floating in vats of accelerated growth from a nutrient medium, he studied which of the seven to remove the comparison indicators between themselves. When they grew enough and formed a sexual characteristic, he transplanted them into vats of accelerated growth. Moreover, the transplantation had to be carried out with special care, maintaining the sterility of the uterine formations.
The second key stage has been achieved. 4 boys and 6 girls have successfully formed without defects and are absolutely healthy. Thanks to the vats of accelerated growth, the embryos looked like three-year-olds a year later. Ujiko hurried to quickly move on to the implementation of the third selection between ten candidates, so that All For One would not begin to suspect something. The old man already spends a lot of time in the lab. Now the stakes are higher. He has ten potential hosts for All For One's quirks. Sensei may not tolerate competition and force Ujiko to abandon all his work.
-"We need to move them to another lab... My creations, you will be safe." - the only one Ujiko trusted was also a loyal subject of All For One, and he did not know if it would work... -"We need to try to convince him, otherwise we will not be able to move."
After some time, this dark-haired man arrived at Doctor Ujiko's.
-You called, Mr. Ujiko?
-That's right, there is an important matter, but first I would like to ask you something. Have you noticed how Sensei is gradually being pushed out?
-Hmm...The last defeat against the hero association was unpleasant, but it is not a fact that Sensei is weak.
- Unlike the previous defeats, this one involved Nana Shimura, the bearer of Sensei's quirk antipode. And there is room for the assumption that this is only the beginning. She appears more and more often in the territory of various prefectures and demonstrates her superiority. The last defeat did not hit All For One so much as his entourage. The market is losing confidence in us, even Rikiya. (referring to the president of Detnerat)
From the man's eyes, Ujiko realized that he was beginning to doubt, and began to gradually approach the essence of the original plan.
- We need a backup plan. That is why I cloned All For One.
- Wait. What did you do?! - At first, he did not believed, but the Doctor didn't like to joke.
- Don't doubt it, let me show you. - He took him to a secret section of the laboratory, which All For One himself doesn't know about.
- Are these His clones?
- These are His children. The true heirs of his spirit and power.
- Do they have All For One's quirks?
- It's not clear yet, but there's a high probability of this. I need your help, they need to be transported, I think Sensei may soon begin to suspect.
- So he doesn't know about this? Damn... - the man was loyal to Ujiko and Sensei, but if we're talking about the heir of His will... - I'm in.
- I've already chosen a place away from the city. Your job is to organize everything necessary to support the life of ten children there, preferably so that they live together, this will help speed up the awakening and manifestation of quirks. Then we'll find out who inherited His will. - The man agreed and began organizing the secret transportation of ten vats.
...
Some time later
Nana Shimura was recently spotted in Musutafu. Soon after, Nana Shimura's husband was killed and a massive raid by heroes against the crime syndicate All For One began. In order to spare her son from the same fate, Nana left her son in the care of a foster family, telling Gran Torino and Toshinori to never contact him under any circumstances. During the raid, several All For One bases were destroyed, his supporters were gradually caught, and those who remained began to turn away from him.
...
Ujiko, in one of the basements of a village house converted into a laboratory, finally finished his growth cycle to the age of four. Considering that it was too risky to keep them in one place now, he decided to send these children to different orphanages, recording their locations.
The dark-haired man transporting the vats looked at the children, they looked like exact copies of Sensei, all but one had red eyes. This one was the boy number 03 with green eyes. For a second, it seemed to him that the boy moved a finger, although they should all be in a drug-induced sleep.
-Doctor Ujiko, you said that you would give these children to other families to take care of? I want to take this one. - Suddenly, the man felt that he could raise a potential heir. He never had a family, and dedicated his entire life to serving All For One. It was an honor for him to raise his blood.
-It will be risky, Sensei might suspect. - The doctor is surprised how the only child among all the clones had black hair instead of white.
-He is not an exact copy of Sensei, unlike the other clones.
-You don't know how to raise. I'll take care of him personally, he's not that similar to the others, and Sensei might not guess. - The lenses of his glasses flashed menacingly in the darkness. In any case, Ujiko knew where they would be in the coming years. This could alert Ujiko, it is quite possible that the green color of the eyes is a random mutation during selection, and probably the Third's quirk will also be very different.
The purpose of dividing them into families is to study the effect that upbringing has on the awakening of quirks, so that Ujiko will eventually receive data on them and begin the final stage of selection. The decision to take this special sample for himself was spontaneous, solely so that it would not fall into the hands of bandits.
- You, Doctor Ujiko, and raising a child... I don't quite recognize you.
- Still, these are my creations. I know better what they need, unlike you, a bandit. Let's see what happens. - These words upset the organizer a little.
-If you want to participate, you can visit him in the hospital sometimes. The bandit smiled slightly and bowed.
Kyudai Garaki quietly planted a bug on the organizer as he was leaving. "This slippery guy must be kept under control."
Finally, it was time to wake up the children one by one from sleep and send them to the shelters. Pressing the button, the very last vat, number 09, opened. Liquid gushed out from there, which immediately rushed into the drain. The child who fell out of the vat did not immediately regain consciousness. Kyudai sighed, puffing, he threw a sheet over the child and rolled up a stretcher to conveniently transport him. Having tied his arms and legs, Kyudai began to make a tattoo of 09 on his neck, just in case they could change their appearance.
