"Although I really wanted to teach you slowly, unfortunately there is no time now. From now on, it will be up to you, Midoriya, to figure it out on your own."
"I've also asked my former teacher, Gran Torino, to teach you how to use the one-for-all technique."
These words, which sounded like his last words, made Izuku Midoriya feel increasingly uneasy and confused. Was All Might thinking of fighting the League of Villains to the death?
Just as Izuku Midoriya had thought, that was indeed the answer.
The evenly matched All For One, the unfathomable leader of the League of Villains, the only one the heroes can truly fight is All Might. To put it bluntly, even Endeavor, the No. 2 who is closest to All Might, is still far behind in skill.
All Might understands this reality perfectly well, and there's only one thing he can do: keep fighting... He and that man, All For One, have a grudge and destiny that they must resolve.
All Might entrusted One For All to Izuku Midoriya because he believed in the boy, that even if he failed, there would still be a spark of hope... just like what All Might's mentor, the seventh "One For All," Nana Shimura, did back then.
She sacrificed herself to stop Nana Shimura from All For One; she died at the hands of that man, and All Might never forgot this deep-seated hatred.
History seems to be repeating itself. This time, All Might is not only facing AFO, but also an unknown and powerful mastermind behind the scenes. His future looks fraught with danger.
All Might has made the right choice now, undoubtedly. After spending so much time together, he has realized that Izuku Midoriya is the most suitable person to inherit "one for all".
While Mirio Togata is also very suitable, he still falls short of Izuku Midoriya. This is not in terms of combat strength, but rather the potential that All Might saw in Midoriya—a kind of indescribable but intuitively accurate assessment.
Just like when All Might's mentor, Nana Shimura, chose him as her successor, All Might also asked his mentor why she chose him, a "Quirkless" person, to inherit One For All.
"Intuition, a woman's intuition is very accurate."
The answer she received was unreliable, but it must be said that Nana Shimura's intuition was very accurate. All Might not only defeated AFO, but also became a "symbol of peace" trusted and worshipped by everyone.
Today, All Might can feel the words his master once said. Although the No. 1 hero is not a woman, just like when he first met Izuku Midoriya, his intuition tells All Might... that Izuku Midoriya is the ninth successor of "One For All".
"Young Midoriya... Your era is about to begin."
Without any regrets, All Might, along with the heroes, headed to their target location, where the final battle against the League of Villains began.
------------
"Have All Might and the others already set off...?"
All Might, who had spun off from Nighteye's Office, did not allow Izuku Midoriya to be involved in any more matters. After handing over "one for all" to him, he solemnly demanded that Izuku return to school.
"That's right, that's why I'm here now."
"......"
On the subway, beside Izuku Midoriya, he wasn't alone when he left Nighteye Agency; he was accompanied by another companion, Mirio Togata, who was his senior and had returned to school with Izuku Midoriya.
Despite his still-childlike appearance, Mirio Togashi is undeniably a third-year student at U.A. High School, and as a senior, he has the responsibility to supervise his juniors.
"I can't let you sneak off and get involved alone. That's what Allmite told me to do."
Knowing Izuku Midoriya's personality all too well, All Might knew that if the boy returned to school alone, he would definitely sneak off to the place where the heroes were fighting the League of Villains. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, he specially asked Mirio Togata to accompany him.
The whole series of events had actually taken place in less than a day. In the morning, Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata went to the military base to obtain evidence and secrets. After their encounter with Tomura Shigaraki, they learned the location of the League of Villains' stronghold.
In the afternoon, Izuku Midoriya participated as a key witness in the emergency hero meeting convened by Nighteye. After All Might handed over the "One For All" Quirk, he led the heroes to the League of Villains' stronghold immediately. The heroes did not have any extra time to waste; a quick victory was the most appropriate solution.
So the situation is quite clear now. After All Might ordered Izuku Midoriya to return to school, he also sent Mirio Togata to accompany him, in order to prevent the boy from acting impulsively. It has to be said that the No. 1 hero's considerations are quite thoughtful.
"Millionaire senior..."
"No need to say anything. Although I really want to go, Mr. Nighteye also instructed that this is the work of heroes. We are just students and cannot participate in dangerous things."
Do you even believe what you're saying?
I really want to say something to Izuku Midoriya. During his hero training program, he infiltrated the "Shie Hassaikai," and this morning he infiltrated a secret government military base. This is far beyond what ordinary students do. Does he really have the nerve to say such things so righteously?
"However, since I'm very interested in Eri, who has 'reversed' her physical age, it's understandable that I couldn't resist dragging you there after learning about the League of Villains' stronghold, right?"
"Millionaire senior!"
The unexpected words from Mirio Togata left Izuku Midoriya momentarily stunned. It turned out that his senior also wanted to go... no, rather, he wanted to help him take responsibility. After all, Mirio Togata was indeed a hero.
“It’s not my style to just stand by and watch All Might and the others go into such a dangerous battle without offering any help, so I’ll do what I can to lend a hand.”
Based on what Mirio Togata said, this senior personally acknowledged Izuku Midoriya's strength, which is why he said those words again: sometimes, to achieve victory, you don't necessarily have to defeat the enemy.
Heroes have their battles, but the two who are not yet heroes also have their own ways of doing things.
"Just like I said before, I will use 'Penetration' to locate little Eri and bring her out."
"The person you're looking for, Midoriya, is Akaya Kaiun-sensei, right?"
"Um....."
He answered Mirio Togata, but Izuku Midoriya is now somewhat silent, seemingly lacking confidence.
"Don't worry, Professor Akaya Kaiun is a very important person. The enemies of the League of Villains won't harm him."
"I hope so..."
The words of comfort had no effect; Izuku Midoriya's expression remained conflicted, as if he were caught in some kind of contradiction that he couldn't understand.
"In that case, let's set off."
"understand!"
Instead of returning to U.A. High School, the two changed direction at the subway station. Izuku Midoriya also perked up and set off. According to the information from the small locator on Tomura Shigaraki, the "Earth Alliance" headquarters was in Kannaku Ward.
------------
By this time, the sun had long since set, the sky was dark and night had fallen. Like any normal modern metropolis, the city of Kanno Ward lit up its lights, marking the start of the city's nightlife.
Nighteye, is everything alright on your end?
"OK, I've got everything arranged."
The heroes started their operation in the afternoon, but All Might and his team did not immediately arrive in the Kamino Ward to engage in battle with the League of Villains. Knowing how dangerous this operation was, the No. 1 hero had to prepare for the evacuation of civilians in advance.
This operation was coordinated by Officer Takunai, because the Japanese government was no longer trustworthy. In order to prevent the League of Villains from learning about the news, All Might had no choice but to rely on his trusted friend to carry out the operation using his connections under special circumstances.
This was a remnant of the organization left over from the fight against All For One. In that society where almost the entire country of Japan was controlled by criminal forces, most government agencies were just as unreliable as they are now. All Might and his comrades relied on the loyalty and trust of their partners to achieve victory. After all, even in the darkest times, there were still many people with a sense of justice.
The police heroes, who had been lying in wait in various parts of the Kamino Ward, gathered their old comrades-in-arms to take action. Their mission was singular: to evacuate the crowd in the area as soon as All Might and the League of Villains went to war, clearing the entire city out as a battlefield.
Without exaggeration, if All Might were to wage war against AFO with all his might, a city might not even be enough for the two of them to demolish. In order to avoid casualties among innocent civilians, the evacuation work must be completed in advance.
However, in order to avoid alerting the "Alliance of the Enemy", all of this was carried out in great secrecy. As a hero, there are more things to consider than to the enemy. Otherwise, why would people say that being a hero is difficult?
"This is really troublesome. When should we take action?"
"Almost there, the raid will officially begin at 9:00 sharp."
After checking the location on the GPS and the time on his watch, Nighteye confirmed that Shigaraki Tomura had remained in one place without making any moves. He then explained to the impatient Endeavor:
"The enemy this time is extremely powerful; even All Might will likely find himself in a tough fight."
"Nonsense, otherwise why would we be here?"
Annoyed, Endeavor wasn't some mindless fool trying to surpass All Might. Knowing just how strong the No. 1 was, he took the League of Villains very seriously after hearing about it.
You should know that he and All Might spent a lot of time running around gathering intelligence on the League of Villains. The only organization that could make Endeavor, the No.2, take such action is the League of Villains.
"The longer we delay, the worse the situation becomes for us. Who knows if those guys from the League of Villains have already discovered us?"
"There's no way we can wait any longer. We can only launch a formal raid once all the action teams are in place."
I glanced at my watch again; it was 8:43. There were only 17 minutes left before the raid officially began. The anxious wait was ticking away second by second, and the moment of battle was drawing ever closer.
-----------
"Izuku, aren't you going home yet, it's so late?"
Upon arriving in the Kanno Ward, the two were on their way to their target location when Izuku Midoriya's phone rang once. It was his mother, Iniko Midoriya, calling.
Because Izuku Midoriya would usually be home by this time, and he would usually call ahead to let her know if there were any special circumstances, Izuku Midoriya called to inquire with great concern after not receiving any prior notification from him.
"Mom, I have something to take care of. I'll be home as soon as I'm done."
"All right....."
As a mother, Izuku Midoriya couldn't pry too much into the matter. She could only assume that her child had some unresolved issues and that he would be able to go home soon. However, Izuku Midoriya encountered an unexpected situation.
It was as if a bad omen had been placed on his shoulders; reassuring words always met with misfortune. This was the fate of Izuku Midoriya.
"You're Izuku Midoriya, right?"
This time, without disguising himself, he arrived in the Kamino Ward. Midoriya was obviously recognized by the citizens. However, before others could realize that he was the U.A. Sports Meet champion, someone walked up to Midoriya Izuku and called out his name.
The man, tall and imposing like All Might, dressed in a suit, the one whose voice he had heard twice and whose face he had witnessed once—Izuku Midoriya's pupils widened instantly, and he cried out in disbelief:
"All for one!!"
Chapter 55 BOSS
An unexpected encounter, a situation never expected, occurred before All Might and the heroes could launch a surprise attack on the League of Villains, but Izuku Midoriya met All For One first.
"Oh ho ho, it seems Allmite did tell you my name."
"Why....."
Izuku Midoriya's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't understand why this man had come looking for him. Did he know that he was the successor to One For All? Impossible. All Might had just transferred his Quirk to him that afternoon. No one else could possibly know.
The situation was alarming, but Izuku Midoriya's long-honed combat instincts told him what to do. He instantly lifted his jacket, revealing the FAIZ Rider Belt, and was about to put the FAIZ phone in to activate the transformation.
Metallic, branch-like tentacles attacked, extending from Afo's fingers. With incredible speed, they instantly stopped Izuku Midoriya's transformation, snatched Faiz's phone, and simultaneously wrapped around and captured Midoriya.
"I can't let you transform into Kamen Rider Faiz. After all, even I wouldn't be able to defeat that form in a short time. I'm really sorry."
"Green Valley!"
In less than three seconds, when Mirio Togata reacted, Izuku Midoriya's transformation had been interrupted and he had been captured and controlled by AFO.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone around. This happened at a night market where people were out strolling at night. Many residents of the Kanno Ward were there, and it was under these circumstances that Izuku Midoriya encountered AFO.
Just as Toru Miyazaki was about to rush forward to rescue his companions, Midoriya Izuku shouted to stop him:
"Don't come any closer! Go find All Might! He's All For One!!"
Mirio Toru, who had just stopped abruptly, stared in horror at the man before him. He had heard a lot about AFO from Nighteye and was well aware of how terrifying All Might's nemesis was.
"Damn it..."
In all the training and learning activities conducted at U.A. High School, students are taught to understand what the most correct choice is in such situations, and it is clear that Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata understand this very well.
Mirio Togata immediately turned back and fled. He was no longer confident that he could rescue Izuku Midoriya from AFO. The most appropriate choice was to immediately notify All Might.
"That's pretty good. At least heroes these days don't mindlessly come to their deaths. They deserve praise."
"Damn it, what are the League of Villains planning now?!"
Even though the man in front of him was AFO, Izuku Midoriya showed him no respect whatsoever. Unfortunately, his hands, feet, and body were bound by metal branches, making it impossible for him to break free.
"Of course, there are very important things to do."
The tendrils of his quirky branch snapped back, pulling Izuku Midoriya in front of him. Afo then shoved FAIZ's phone back into Izuku's hand. Unfortunately, he was now unable to insert the transformation item into his belt and could not use the "Kamen Rider FAIZ" transformation to break free from the restraints.
Afo glanced at the crowd of onlookers who were still taking pictures of him, and didn't pay much attention to these ignorant citizens. If it weren't for that person giving the order, these eyesores would have been dead long ago.
"The 'League of Villains' boss wants to see you. Come with me."
After saying that, AFO turned around and led Izuku Midoriya into the "portal" of the black mist. Everything was about to begin.
-----------
"All Might!"
"million!?"
He rushed to the heroes' gathering place at top speed, arriving five minutes before the raid began. Panting, Mirio Togata tried to keep it brief and told the No. 1 hero about Izuku Midoriya and his encounter with AFO.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you two to go back to school?!"
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault..."
It was rare for All Might to get so angry, and Mirio Togashi felt extremely guilty and upset, since no one had expected such a thing to happen. Fortunately, Nighteye calmly analyzed the situation and said something crucial.
"This isn't simple! All For One's actions seem to be deliberately targeting Izuku Midoriya. Our actions may have already been known to the League of Villains."
"Let's act now, there's no need to wait."
"Proceed! Launch a surprise attack on the 'United Front'!"
Upon hearing the command, the assembled heroes set off, each fulfilling their assigned roles and proceeding in a planned and orderly manner. All Might, in particular, took the lead, leaping towards the target location. Naturally, the one leading the charge was none other than the No. 1 hero.
"Please don't let anything happen to you, Midoriya-kun..."
The worst-case scenario was that the seed of hope reserved for the future was discovered by All For One. All Might was extremely anxious, as no one could have imagined that this situation would occur.
