"It's okay, I'll take you there."

Akaya Kaiun sat calmly in the bar, his shadow surging and engulfing the black mist beneath his feet. It was time for this "League of Villains" bartender to get down to rescuing people.

"After making me suffer so many setbacks, I should at least win once or twice."

Completely unconcerned that he had implicated Shigaraki Tomura, Akaya Kaiun was simply planning his next move, a crucial and important step.

The black mist, who had just been thrown near the military base, hadn't even had a chance to search for Shigaraki Tomura's whereabouts when it heard a violent crashing sound. Kamen Rider Kaixa crashed through the outer wall of the base and fell to the ground, rolling and sprawling.

"asshole...."

He was almost out of energy to curse, and Shigaraki Tomura was lying on the ground, not even afraid of not being able to get up. At this moment, it has to be said that the defensive power of "Armor Mode" is really solid. He was hit so many times by FAIZ's "Burst Mode" but was not forced to deactivate the transformation. It truly deserves to be called the perfect punching bag form.

"Hang!"

Seeing that there was no time to lose, Kurogiri immediately went to Shigaraki Tomura's side, grabbed the paralyzed and immobile Kaixa lying on the ground, and then opened a "portal" to teleport away from the original location.

"Have they left...?"

Having just arrived and witnessed everything, Izuku Midoriya showed no anger or resentment, but simply accepted the fact silently, as it was something he had expected.

Knowing all along that there were enemies in the League of Villains with teleportation Quirks, it would be very difficult to arrest them. Otherwise, All Might wouldn't have made so many trips for nothing. So Izuku Midoriya had already made preparations.

The concealed small locator he carried had already been placed on Shigaraki Tomura earlier. It was good that the League of Villains had rescued him; now they could directly attack the enemy's stronghold.

"Akatani-sensei..."

The thought of his teacher, whom he admired and who had taught him everything, made Izuku Midoriya feel a little sad. He had vaguely figured out something from a series of events.

Chapter 52 Inheritance

"Project Leo the Cavalry" is information that Izuku Midoriya obtained from the military base. After Mirio Togata ran out to inform Nighteye, All Might arrived shortly afterward.

In this hero-driven society, the No. 1 hero represents justice and faith, and even the government and the state have to give him a lot of face and power, as is the case now.

After learning that their cooperation with the League of Villains had been exposed, the Japanese government would never consider offending Allmight. Their first task was to find a scapegoat to take the blame and shift all the blame onto one person to absolve themselves of any responsibility.

Government agencies and professional heroes are interdependent. The Japanese government lacks the ability to maintain public order, while professional heroes cannot all be politicians. They are essentially high-ranking civil servants serving society. However, as time has passed, various contradictions have accumulated and erupted.

Even without the emergence of the "Alliance of the Enemy," it's likely that within a few years, a "revolutionary army" would have emerged seeking to overthrow this heroic society. Ultimately, it's all a consequence of escalating conflicts.

In fact, even if the Japanese government went to cooperate with enemy organizations, their actions were not without fault. Excellent politicians have long recognized the deformity of this social structure, and to correct it, the government must have its own strong power. This is the fundamental reason for cooperating with Akaya Kaiun.

It would be wrong to say that the problem lies with the professional heroes. Without the efforts of heroes like All Might, Japan would not have been able to be liberated from the dark rule of All For One. Furthermore, the sharp decline in the crime rate is the result of the daily work of every professional hero. All Might alone could not have cracked down on all criminals in the country.

When neither side is at fault, they often clash over their positions, and these clashes eventually accumulate and lead to the current situation.

They want to end this hero society, but what about the professional heroes who have such a high employment rate across the country? Not everyone is as easy to talk to as All Might, willing to give up their honor and everything for the future.

Furthermore, the crime rate of the enemy in this society has never stopped. To some extent, the existence of professional heroes is still needed to maintain public order and peace. This is a disease that has been delayed and has now become a tumor.

Having already seen through everything, and taking advantage of this contradiction, the mastermind behind the scenes came into action.

The "League of Villains" has emerged, using absolute power to control the enemy's crime rate. The peace that used to require professional heroes to maintain has now been easily achieved by an enemy organization. It has to be said that only the enemy truly understands the enemy.

This exacerbated the conflicts within the hero society, and through behind-the-scenes cooperation with the Japanese government, with higher-ups providing cover and propaganda, a plan to overthrow and destroy the hero society was underway.

The exposure of the military base factory gave the heroes access to important intelligence, which led them back to Nighteye Agency. Now, the top-ranked pro heroes are all gathered here, but unexpectedly, Izuku Midoriya, a student of U.A. High School, also got involved.

"Isn't this kid a student at U.A. High? Why is he here?"

Representing the questions of the other heroes, Endeavor, No. 2, didn't mince words and questioned them directly. Before All Might could offer a polite explanation, Nighteye had already switched to a businesslike mode.

“ZREO is a hero in my firm and an important witness. We need him to explain the situation.”

"Midori, tell me what happened."

Having received Nighteye's authorization, Izuku Midoriya showed no fear or nervousness; the most important situation now required his explanation.

"Project Leo, the information I obtained from that military base, is a simplified version of the Kamen Rider system I possess. It's a Kamen Rider armor that can be mass-produced, and anyone who wears it can unleash the power of a top-tier professional hero."

"Tsk... It seems the Japanese government is quite unhappy with our presence, secretly doing these things."

The sensible No. 4, the Super Cow King, is quite aware of the current state of hero society. However, as a professional hero himself, it is too difficult for him to make any changes. Unless All Might takes the lead, no one can do it.

"The important issue isn't that, but rather the cooperation between government agencies and the 'League of Enemies.' This is highly unusual... I'm very worried about the 'League of Enemies' leader who hasn't shown his face. What exactly is he planning to do?"

Izuku Midoriya, deeply troubled by the matter, had personally witnessed the blueprints for the "Leo Cavalry Project." His intuition told him it was a design by his mentor, Kaiun Akaya. His teacher, Akaya, disappeared during the League of Villains' invasion; the Kaixa belt on Tomura Shigaraki's body—all these signs pointed to an unusual outcome...

"Another boring meeting like this? Don't call me unless it's really important, it's a waste of my time!"

Endeavor, who was in a bad mood, had been on the run a lot lately as the No.2 hero, searching everywhere for any trace of the League of Villains. However, most of the time he could only catch a Nomu covering their retreat, while the enemy members had long since disappeared without a trace.

When Nighteye and All Might called him over, he thought it was something particularly important, but it turned out to be just the same old, uninteresting meeting topics. It would be a miracle if Endeavor, who has a bad temper, could tolerate it. The fact that he didn't turn around and leave on the spot was already a big favor to All Might.

"This matter is certainly important, otherwise we wouldn't have notified all the heroes with strong combat capabilities."

Nighteye picked up where Izuku Midoriya left off, adjusting his glasses and speaking seriously:

"We have captured the enemy's stronghold; we are preparing to launch a direct attack on their base."

"What!?"

Nighteye's words excited all the heroes present. They had been running around dealing with this enemy organization for a long time, and it would be a lie to say they weren't happy when they heard that they were going to attack the enemy's headquarters. They could finally take revenge and vent their anger.

"Let's get ready to go. We hope everyone here will lend us a hand this time."

"Of course, those guys should be taught a lesson."

One wave subsides only for another to rise. With the official start of the League of Villains' operation, a series of events have been unfolding, quickly pushing the storm to its peak. The joint operation of the professional heroes is also about to begin.

"Are you sure everything's okay...?"

For some reason, Izuku Midoriya was very worried about this operation. Even though he had provided the intelligence on the League of Villains' stronghold, and the small locator he had secretly planted on Tomura Shigaraki had finally locked onto the enemy organization's lair, the smoother things went, the more uneasy he felt. He had a feeling of being a lamb entering the tiger's den.

"Midori no Shana..."

"What's wrong, All Might?"

While the heroes were preparing to carry out the battle plan, All Might came to Izuku Midoriya's side and put his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Although we don't know how this will turn out, you've done a fantastic job. You don't need to put any more pressure on yourself. Just leave the rest to us."

“But… I’m terrified of what Mr. Nighteye foresaw. What if even you can’t handle the leader of the League of Villains…?”

In fact, what Izuku Midoriya was most worried about was not only All For One, whose strength was almost equal to All Might's, but also the fact that even if all the heroes present joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the League of Villains, and the enemy boss whose true identity was unknown, which made people afraid before the battle even started.

"Heroes...knowing that some things are impossible, they still want to do them."

"So I entrust my future to you, Midoriya boy."

"Huh? What!"

"Inherit my personality, 'one for all'."

As the final battle approached, All Might made an unexpected choice. Whether it was to preserve the future or to believe that Izuku Midoriya could do what he himself could not, he entrusted his Quirk "One For All," which he had passed down through generations, to the next generation.

Chapter 53 Passing on the Torch

"All Might?"

"Listen carefully, Midoriya-kun... This is very important."

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's incomprehensible expression, All Might said earnestly:

"I cannot guarantee victory in the upcoming battle, and I believe you are well aware of that."

"..."

It's an undeniable fact, an undeniable situation. Leaving aside AFO, who is on par with All Might, and the behind-the-scenes boss who hasn't even shown his face, the heroes' next move is extremely worrying.

"One for All is the 'personality' I inherited from my master, and it's also a sacred flame passed down through generations, illuminating the future and hope in dark times."

This was originally created by All For One, but through generations of successors, this power has been nurtured and strengthened, and now it has become the crystallization of All Might's power to defeat All For One. It can be said that this "Quirk" is more important than All Might's life.

“If I inherit it, even if I fail, as long as the power of one for all remains, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy, right?”

"But... All Might, you can't fail..."

Even though he said he lacked confidence, Izuku Midoriya himself didn't quite believe it. Unlike his previous blind trust in the heroes he idolized, after getting to know All Might better, Midoriya realized that even the invincible No. 1 hero in everyone's eyes was just a human being who could get hurt, make mistakes, and encounter things beyond his control.

The situation with the League of Villains was worrying and anxious, but All Might's words were even more difficult for Izuku Midoriya to accept. It was as if he was giving instructions for his descendants in his will. How could he possibly accept this reality?

"Perhaps so. I won't fight a battle I can't win, but you have to inherit 'one for all' before I can fight with all my might."

"This isn't my proposal, but a request I'm making to you."

"By inheriting 'one for all,' only by leaving the flame alive can I fight with all my might."

Since things have been said to this extent, no matter how painful it is for Izuku Midoriya, he has to accept All Might's request and inherit the Quirk of the No. 1 Hero, "One For All".

Unlike the initial joy when All Might proposed transferring his Quirk to Midoriya, knowing why All Might was giving him his Quirk at this point makes it even harder to accept.

It was an act of completely disregarding life and death. Was All Might preparing to fight that man from the League of Villains to the death...? But now, Izuku Midoriya couldn't hesitate any longer.

"I promise you, Allmight."

"Very good, now the 'one for all' is yours."

After plucking a strand of blond hair from his head, All Might handed it to Izuku Midoriya and said:

"Eat it."

"what?"

His performance after making up his mind was surprisingly low-class. He thought it was some kind of high-class inheritance method, but it turned out to be very simple, which made Izuku Midoriya stunned.

"I'm entrusting my future to you."

Seeing Izuku Midoriya somewhat surprised as he put the golden hair into his mouth, All Might patted him on the shoulder in relief. As long as the legacy of "one for all" continues, one day they will surely be able to defeat the invincible enemy.

"Go back to school. You don't need to get involved in what happens next."

"But, All Might..."

"Listen to me, this is not something a student should get involved in. Let us, the professional heroes (adults), handle it."

All Might refuted Izuku Midoriya's unspoken words, his expression as serious as could be. This No. 1 hero would not allow a child to take on danger; sometimes, All Might's stubbornness was even more terrifying than Nighteye's.

"All right....."

You can't fight city hall. Izuku Midoriya has no right to participate in this attack plan. It's like a student who hasn't graduated from police academy following a group of SWAT officers. It just looks very strange.

"Alright, let's go back to school."

The "one for all" quirk also transferred to Izuku Midoriya. He had no burden regarding All Might, but when he saw that guy AFO again, he would just punch him in the face with his hardest fist.

Izuku Midoriya had no objections to offer. It was quite rare that Nighteye and All Might were on the same page, both telling Midoriya to go back to school and not to interfere in the upcoming hero group activities.

However, sometimes if you want someone to obey, you have to tie them up if you don't completely make them give up. Obviously, Izuku Midoriya won't just obediently return to U.A. High School like that.

The battle between the heroes and the League of Villains is about to begin, and Izuku Midoriya... has something very important that he must see for himself.

------------

"That's about it. All Might will be here soon with those heroes. Get ready for battle."

"Understood, Boss."

After giving AFO his orders, the original mastermind became his assistant, while Akaya Kaiun remained calm and collected, clearly showing his detached and amused attitude.

Izuku Midoriya knew that he had placed a small tracking device on Tomura Shigaraki, but now was the time to engage in combat with the heroes, and it was time to move on to the next act.

Afo stepped back to arrange the next course of action, while Shigaraki Tomura, who had just been brutally beaten, asked his boss, somewhat bewildered.

"I have a question. Why do you value that Midoriya Izuku guy so much, Boss?"

After returning from his recent humiliation, Shigaraki Tomura was in a bad mood, suffering both mental and physical injuries. This Kamen Rider Kaixa, who was originally quite reliable, not only got a severe beating after encountering Izuku Midoriya, but also began to have bad luck ever since.

Whether it's envy or jealousy, Shigaraki Tomura really wants to know why Akaya Kaion is paying so much attention to Midoriya Izuku.

"Why do I value him? Because he has something that ordinary people don't have."

While it may seem that Akaya Kaion is a product of Midoriya Izuku's talents, personality traits, and qualities, it actually refers to his larger version.

Chapter 54 Shenye District

Although All Might said he had transferred the "one for all" quirk to him, Izuku Midoriya didn't feel it at all.

However, as the eighth successor, after passing on his Quirk to the ninth successor, Izuku Midoriya, All Might still made sure to explain the relevant precautions.

"Using 'One For All' requires a strong and resilient body. Using it rashly before you can withstand its power will only harm your body, so remember not to use it carelessly."
