章 533: When Will It End? by The Magician 565 (MHA

Latest update:September 3,2023

Summary:I had everything, but looking back it just all seems so pointless. I was the successor to All Might, and I'd made the choice to steal that position from Izuku, but it's been so long since then I've forgotten what that guilt feels like. I had a girlfriend, a baby on the way. But, I was dumb enough to think that I could keep it all. In the end I couldn't change a thing, never could.

Alright, I know what you're all thinking. Why the hell would you ever want to abandon your life as a character in an anime? I'm living the dream, right?

Fuck no... well kind of yes. At the start. I was sent into this world as a Quirkless classmate of Izuku Midoriya, of course I wasn't a little bitch like he was. I mean, I love the guy- not in a gay way- but he's more than a bit of a pushover. Unfortunately, I was fourteen when I stole my body from it's original owner, so I couldn't fix that wimpy green ass' self esteem. He was too far gone. I couldn't show him the way. A pity really.

I ball punched that blonde pomeranian when he tried to suicide-bait Izuku. He didn't need that shit, and I felt like I owed him, and I did, considering what I was about to do next at the time.

I stole his chance to get 'One for All'. What? Can you blame me? I already spent my last life without superpowers, though to be fair in the non-anime world nobody has 'Quirks' of any kind, and I wasn't about to make some deal with All For One to give me a sick ability, I just wanted to have an anime power okay!

I did feel a little guilty for taking Izuku's chance to get a superpower away from him, but I could somewhat control that guilt by convincing myself that he never really had it in the first place. I still kept contact with him after I got into U.A, but I could always tell that after I got into the Hero course and he didn't things weren't the same between us. He was clearly bitter that I, someone who was once Quirkless, got to train and fulfil my dreams whilst he was left to eternally watch from the sidelines. It was sad really.

So, out of a sense of obligation, I began to slowly master 'One for All'.

It was actually a surprisingly simple process that was easy to figure out considering my meta-knowledge, of course to All Might it just looked like I was a genius, I wasn't actually that smart though. I wasn't dumb per say, but I was stubborn and never stopped when I started something.

It's called progressive overload. At the beginning I had access to just 3% of 'One for All', even that was powerful, so I'd ramp it up half a percent whenever I was comfortable with that amount. It was a slow, but very effective, method of improvement that guaranteed my growth over time. Also I renamed 'Full Cowling' to 'Burst Mode' because I thought it sounded cooler.

I managed to get first place in the entrance exam, that can be attributed to the fact that I already knew about the rescue points, since there's no way I could have stacked up 120 entire points just on villains alone. I can officially say that I know what shattering two legs and an arm feels like, the pain of bone shard piercing your skin and the agony of your limbs flopping helplessly against the wind.

I can honestly say that I cried big ugly tears that day. Suddenly, I could respect Izuku a lot more, since in the anime he handled that far better than I did.

The look on Bakugo's face was worth it though. When he cornered me and started to scream his head off I wasn't having any of it and beat the hell out of him. I didn't break any bones, but lets just say that he might be infertile with how hard I crotch kicked him. My nickname for him then became 'second place'. because I'm a fucking comedian.

All Might was an amazing guy to be honest. Not perfect by any means, I'm not going to justify his shortcomings like Izuku. But, he genuinely just wants to help others. He was a really great guy, and I swore to myself that I'd find a way to fix his broken body, and that I would show him that I was the right choice when it came to being his successor.

By the time I entered U.A, I could use about 7% of 'One for All' without any discomfort. I made sure to become friends with my other classmates, and made the decision to tell Eraserhead about my Quirk and it's true nature. He was my teacher, and I knew that I could trust him, even if he was an asshole.

I also made All Might be present when the USJ incident occured, and it was absolutely insane to watch him punch the nomu into the stratosphere. Shigaraki managed to get away with Kurogiri, much to my frustration since I decided to fight them myself, however I still called the day a success. Everyone was uninjured and alive, that is a win.

The school year was absolutely insane, but I did manage to come first place in the sports festival by a landslide. Oh, I struggled here and there with the others, but 'One for All' was a protagonists power, and I knew how to fully utilise it, so I put Bakugo in his place once again and managed to get Shoto to use his fire. He would then become one of my best friends/rivals along with a few others in 1A.

The events of the first movie actually took place, I was as surprised as you, and I got to see a literal manmade island in action but more importantly... Melissa Shield.

I don't care what anyone says, smart girls reign supreme. Especially hot ones. I might have flirted with her a bit too much for All Might's taste though, since he didn't seem fond of me spending an entire day alone with an extremely attractive older girl.

And you know what?... That's fair. I didn't exactly hit on her per say, I just flirted a little and made sure to get a little toe in the door that is Melissa Shield. I even mentioned my past Quirklessness when I was asking if she had anything that could deal with the blowback of 'One for All' and I'm proud to say that I appealed to her sympathy to get closer with her.

I kicked the crap out of Wolfram after I managed to smash the Quirk Amplifier, like hell am I fighting an entire island made of metal, saved the day, and returned home with a kiss on the cheek and the phone number of a pretty girl.

You know, just another Monday for me.

My internship with Gran Torino was... interesting. He actually didn't insult me that much, hell I'd even go as far as to say that he approved of me already having 10% of 'One for All' down pat, and we managed to up that to 13% in just a week. That man is a menace though, I might have been able to react faster with my Quirk boosting my cognitive abilities, but he still knocked the wind out of me a good few times. Of course I fought Stain with Ida, however I didn't end up needing that creepy bastard's help to curb stomp the head of a flying freak.

Of course, I actually got permission from Gran Torino to fight against Villains and use my Quirk as I see fit, so I used that as an excuse to make the fact I beat Stain public and boosted my PR. I felt a little bad for hogging the credit from Ida, but he was already kicking himself for even going to get Stain in the first place, so I decided to point out that Native would have died if he didn't go off and be an idiot. So, in the end, he caused more good than harm.

That was when I started calling him Tenya.

Training camp was absolutely brutal for me. I was going a whole few percentages up from my limit at the time, and trust me when I say that my bones fucking rattled when I did that shit. But, I can't deny that I did grow extremely fast by overdoing it that much.

The Muscular fight was brutal on me. I could go at 15% without problems at the time, but that psychopath was surprisingly tenacious. We were pretty even at the time, but when you have a child to protect that can shift the odds. So, I had to go all out. Well, not exactly all out, 25% to be exact, but it still hurt like a bitch to go that far beyond what I could take. My bones were cracked and my muscles were bruised and torn, but I managed to kick him in the face and take him down.

Of course, I couldn't rest though, and had to save my idiot friends from killing themselves. I even met the famous Himiko Toga. Not gonna lie, I'd totally smash that, no blowjobs though. I wouldn't trust her not to bite my dick off. I even flirted with her a little, much to the horror of my friends since she was trying to stab me, and might have let her go on purpose.

What? I'm into girls that like sucking blood. Also crazy blondes. The only thing about her I dislike is her haircut, but even that is just a hair tie.

I got some judgemental looks that night, and some jealous ones courtesy of Ochako, but in the end Bakugo still managed to get caught.

I then managed a group to save his blonde ass and I didn't even get a thank you. Can you believe that?

All Might still beat All for One's ass and I got punched by him in turn. He scolded me, which was fine I deserved it honestly, and he told me that he could hardly hold his muscle form for even a minute, and that he was retiring to teach at U.A and to help me become stronger.

After moving into the U.A dorms me and the rest of the class got right into training. Now, I might have dropped a few ideas in the air for Ultimate moves they could get ahead of time, like hell is Kirishima gonna wait to unlock unbreakable, however I focused more on improving my costume than developing ultimate moves. My Quirk was the same as All Might's, so I just renamed my SMASH attacks to Japanese cities instead of American ones, plus a few other ideas I developed over time. For example, I have my Mount Fuji SMASH which is essentially me kicking the ground really really hard to send air pressure flying everywhere. I have a few others too, but those aren't worth mentioning.

What is worth mentioning is Mei Hatsume. That girl is an 11/10 for me. A genius, an insane body, and her chill factor is non-existent. Her gear is useful, maybe not quite on Melissa's level, but what little she lacked in quality she more than made up for in quantity. She also gave me physical examinations a little too much to be normal, of course I wasn't complaining, even if a few other guys were giving me judgemental looks. What? This was completely consensual.

Mei was also not a girl who cared about personal space. When she landed tits first on me in an explosion she didn't even flinch at the fact totally got hard in that moment. I know she noticed too, she even gave my wang a second glance, but just moved on like nothing happened. I also purposely brushed my hand against her chest a few times, and she didn't even seem to care. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that she liked it whenever I was caught ogling her.

This along with the fact she kept asking to 'make babies with me' led to a lot of people getting the wrong idea. Well, I say wrong, but I did end up making the moves on her. I didn't 'make babies with her', as some of my class joked, but I did get to second base with her and she even became my girlfriend... this time around anyway.

When it came time to get our provisional licenses, I was at around 18% and managed to pass, after getting a completely uncensored view of what Toga, or possibly Camie, looks like buck naked.

I was the strongest guy in class, so I simply went with Inasa when we needed to hold down the fort instead of Shoto. This would lead to them both passing, meaning that only Bakugo failed the exam and would have to spend time taking remedial lessons to get his provisional license. I might have taken the whole insulting him thing too far though, since my friends even gave me a few words about what I was saying to him.

We did end up fighting, and he revealed that he knew All Might gave me his Quirk and essentially forced my hand by threatening to reveal my secret if I didn't fight him. I couldn't exactly leave, so I fought with him and beat him into the ground.

The reality that I was better than him, that I was stronger than him, was just too much of a reality check for Bakugo, and he essentially broke down. It was disturbing to look at in all honesty, but back then maybe I should have see what he was doing coming. I mean, I was, in his mind, a weakling for his whole life and then suddenly I wasn't just in the same league as him, I wasn't just his equal, I wasn't just stronger than him, I was destroying him and rubbing it in his face for months on end. I even kept calling him second place that entire time. His entire world view was probably long crumbled, and his fragile ego long since burst like a balloon.

Did I feel bad for him? Nope. He was just a bully that needed to be humbled at the end of the day, at that point he was humbled, extremely so.

So, I told him what I really thought of him. Unfiltered, uncut, and without any sugar-coating it. I told him how I truly felt about him, and that I even hated him in a way for what he did and how he acted for so many years, but that I also thought he could do better and that we could even be friends and that he could do better if he wanted.

And so, just like that, I was friends with the guy. Well, maybe friends was overselling it, but he wasn't a bully anymore, and I wasn't trolling him and rubbing my superiority in his face.

The of course there's Lemillion... I lost against him. Oh, I put up a good fight, even got a few hits off, but in the end his insane skill with 'Permeation' rendered me helpless. His reaction speed was insane, even for me, and my Quirk literally increased my reaction time. I still impressed him though, and I was even enough of a gentlemen to answer all of Hado's questions.

Which were a lot, even with 'One for All' active I'm pretty sure I missed a few in her onslaught. That girl is as curious as she is attractive, of course, I couldn't exactly go making moves on her at the time, because I had Mei, but that didn't mean making those connections was a bad thing.

I still got some funny looks from the girls though, plus Kaminari and Mineta were muttering about me being a lucky bastard. Those two are little shits, well Mineta is, Kaminari is actually a pretty good looking bastard, he could definitely get a girlfriend if he wanted, and his personality was-

Wait what was I talking about? Eh, I'll just move on/

I did end up going to Nighteye's agency for an internship. Boy what a treat that was, note the sarcasm. Nighteye was salty that I was picked over Togata, and basically demanded that I hand 'One for All' over to him. But, I had a speech prepared about the numerous reason why it was better that I had the Quirk and absolutely wrecked his worldview. I very nearly burst out laughing at the face he pulled when I was done with him, and I finished by basically leaving and just telling him to think on whether he wanted me here.

Then I burst out laughing the moment I left the door. I'm fairly certain he heard me actually, though I didn't mind much.

Nighteye ended up accepting me and when we encountered Eri I almost immediately knocked Overhaul out and saved the girl. He chewed my ear out for it, and in the end Nighteye even cancelled my internship for acting so rashly... but literally one day afterward he called and told me that Kai Chisaki was actually a high ranked Villain named Overhaul, so I ended up saving the girl and making the right call. The I told you so I gave him at that moment was super satisfying.

I didn't have any parents, so it was decided that Eri would come to U.A and under Aizawa's training she would learn to control 'Rewind'. It was nice to have her around, and she was an adorable little girl who actually looked up to me and always call me by my Hero name, Fortify.

Then there was the events with Nine where I had to face someone who could change the weather. I made sure to shatter the tubes on his back when I first fought him, all those Quirks he had made that shit difficult, but with me going strong at about 30% at the time, that diet All For One was two pieces of toast, captured alive and questioned right besides his goons.

Training is everything that I did for a really long time. However, during a match vs class 1-B, I was falling and then I just... stopped. I was using Nana Shimura's Quirk, 'Float'. Well, I say float, but it's really just flying. Very overpowered flying actually. I wasn't sure why I hadn't unlocked 'Black Whip', but I wasn't complaining.

It was a very simple, but very useful Quirk that took a bit of practice, it was embarrassing how I'd hang at awkward angles in the air like that, but I eventually got the hand of it. Kind of. Then I unlocked 'Smokescreen' and... well didn't really need to practice much with that one. It was simple and useful, but honestly not that impressive. What would have been really cool was a laser Quirk, since precise ranged attacks are my biggest weakness, but apparently all of my predecessors had Quirks that were pretty meh for a lack of a better word.

I still began my training with Endeavour who, for all his assholeness, was actually a really competent teacher. Even at 35% I couldn't quite keep up with him. I was told to practice my flying whilst pushing my limits with 'One for All', but that... isn't a great idea. 'One for All' is a booster Quirk, so whenever I throw a Quirk in with it the power of that Quirk skyrockets, and by extension becomes uncontrollable. My flight becomes unbelievably fast to the point where it's like running with 'One for All', but in the air with no obstacles in the way. But, I had limited mastery over 'Float' at the time, so it was shaky at times, and forget going into the higher percentages of 'One for All' when using another Quirk, that was just impossible.

I knew that the paranormal liberation war was coming, so I threw myself into training really fucking hard to the point where my bones would crack from overusing 'One for All'. It was a painful experience, but the progress showed and by the time it was war time I could used 50% of 'One for All' comfortably, to reduce the strain on my body during battle I'd up it to 70% in one limb, but nothing more than that. Unfortunately, the Full Gauntlet didn't seem to exist in this world, so I couldn't use 100%, but I did have Melissa send me some support items called 'Mid-Gauntlets'. These would allow me to use 70% without any drawbacks, and even up to 80% with minimal drawbacks. More than that was pushing it, but it was only a matter of time until I mastered the strength part of 'One for All'.

The power I was starting to wield actually scared me at the time. Mei had to keep on updating my gear to withstand the casual uses of my power, and the fact that I could use half of the former number one Hero's power after just a single year of holding it filled the man with pride for me and we ended up going out for a bit of dinner. A nice fancy place where I ate like a king for one. Seriously, for too long I'd kept to a strict and carefully calculated diet to maximise my muscle growth, so eating a steak after months of eating and drinking nothing but protein shakes, and a painfully low amount of carbs, was like heaven on my tastebuds. All Might still didn't have his stomach back, but we were all feeling optimistic. I'd suggested to him that it was a possibility that Eri could rewind him to before he lost his organs if she developed her Quirk enough, and he actually looked hopeful when I suggested that. I didn't blame him, he hides it well, but I know his injuries must have been painful. The fact he was even alive must have been through raw willpower.

Of course, we weren't going to put that pressure on her. She had been through a lot, and didn't need heavy expectations to be placed on her, but she was very diligent in her training for a little girl, and given time I didn't doubt she could accomplish such a feat.

Then the war came along, and with it came a date where I knew that I'd have to fight Tomura Shigaraki. I knew people would die, I knew that many would suffer, I knew that I'd be facing off against a man who could touch the ground and dust an entire city... yet I couldn't change much. I wasn't exactly going to reveal my status as a reincarnator, I could have been shipped off to a madhouse for all I knew, and I suggested going to the frontlines in the hospital so that I could ensure that Shigaraki would die... but it didn't work. Oh, it wasn't even that I was weak, I was more than strong enough to be an asset on the battlefield, courtesy of 'One for All'. But, Eraserhead put his foot down and banned me from taking part in the raid. With him being so vital, and him outright refusing to let me battle with the monstrous nomus which lurked under the hospital, his demands were immediately met. I wasn't allowed to help. He told me to let the adults deal with it.

So, I did. And that was a mistake.

Tomura activated 'Decay' and erased the very city I was standing in just minutes earlier. It was horrifying to watch what a single man could do in the world I was in- no, he wasn't a man. He wasn't even human. Humans had limits to what they could do, monsters like Shigaraki had more than just power on their side. They had hatred, anger, and mad obsession. He was a monster, one who knew no such thing as mercy or weakness.

So, I followed the script the universe wrote for me in that moment. I allowed my meta-knowledge to guide me to where Shigaraki would have his Quirks erased.

The time where he was vulnerable.

I let him think that I was weaker than I actually was by using less than my body could handle.

To convince him that I was weak.

And then, when he was caught in Ryukyu's grasp, I grabbed his head and snapped it like a twig. No, I didn't just snap it. I twisted it to the point where his brain would be disconnected from his body.

I murdered him. It was almost lamely easy. I had help, I let him put his guard down, then I put him down when he least expected it. I was brutal and cold in my actions to stop him.

My decision to kill actually shocked the Heroes on scene at the time, Aizawa more than anything else, and I was given some judgemental looks for my choice, but I didn't care. He was too far gone, a monster, someone who only knew darkness and hatred, you can't drag people like that into the light. It might be an excuse to give up on him, but that was how I saw it, and I thought I made the right choice.

Shigaraki is a victim, perhaps more than anyone. He suffered for years on end, All For One twisting him in indescribable ways to become what he was. He didn't deserve that, at least not the person who he started as. He had to die because of the people he'd kill if I let him go. I don't know how many that would have been, but I know that the number wasn't zero. That was enough to resolve me.

The unhinged and deranged look on his face as he layed dead at my feet disturbed me. So, I kneeled down and closed his eyes.

He deserved rest. As evil as he was, it was the world which made him that way. He deserved that respect. At least this way, All For One wouldn't be able to control him.

From that moment on I'd join the fighting with the nomus and then with Gigantomachia when he woke up. The big bastard had gone on a rampage when he arrived, seeing his dead master must have made something in him snap, and he started to madly yell that he'd kill us all... when Best Jeanist arrived on the scene and managed to restrain him. He was tired from running dozens of miles, so I wasn't surprised he could be restrained. The nomu couldn't help him, with their master dead they were just following his last wishes to fight to their deaths.

I'd been quick on flying to them and destroying Skeptic's computer, if it wasn't too late at that point to save Endeavour's reputation, I avoided Dabi's flames and managed to knock both Spinner and Compress unconscious, which just left Dabi, who Endeavour began to fight... only to be stunned still when Dabi revealed his true identity.

I thought about stepping in for that, but I decided against it. I had to continue with fighting the nomus, and Machia wasn't exactly someone I wanted to mess with, so I settled for capturing the three Villains I'd subdued and left Dabi to Endeavour and Shoto.

That ended up being the right call, since Shoto managed to unleash his Phosphor attack and cool Dabi down enough to take him out, and the sedative to knock Machia out took effect soon after.

The war was... over. Just like that I'd done what I had to as a holder of 'One for All' and stopped Shigaraki from completing his goals of destroying society. I wasn't dumb, I knew that the Heroes would need to do damage control, and I wasn't a Hero yet, but... I did it. I'd stopped the worst Villains in the world. All the key member of the PLF were captured, except for Himiko Toga, but I had a feeling that she would show up eventually. I had succeeded where Izuku hadn't in the anime.

The world was safe. For the time being anyway.

"Hello young- no, Fortify, I see that you updated your Hero costume. A little too... black for my taste, but it does the job nicely." A healthy looking All Might gave me a... compliment? Yeah, lets go with that.

What I was wearing was a black, not quite skin tight but close, battle suit that had a blood red cape hanging behind me ominously, with the 'Mid-Gauntlets' both being removed, I had no need for them, along with black pants and combat boots designed for especially destructive kicks whilst also being springy to increase leg strength for jumping. It was very practical, and not very flashy, but it matches the black sparks which dance off my skin when I use 'One for All', so it's worth the trade-off.

I smirked at him before replying in English." Come on, you can say it. I look sexy as all hell, Mei certainly seems to think so with how much 'baby making' we've been doing to improve this costume." I replied, shamelessly using my very eccentric girlfriends suggestive vocabulary to drop in an innuendo.

The old man cringed slightly at that, rubbing his head awkwardly and just replying." Right... well it certainly shows." He looked down at me, the giant he is, even without 'One for All' he still lorded over other people at a pretty 6'9. Who the hell makes old people that massive.

Two years is a long time, and within that timeframe Eri had gained enough control over her power to rewind All Might back to before he lost his stomach. That girl was unbelievably intelligent, and I didn't doubt that whatever she chose to be she'd be amazing at, with or without a Quirk. She said she wanted to be a Hero when she grew up, but she isn't even ten yet, so she could easily change her mind and choose to be a doctor or a nurse. Either way, she'll be amazing when she's older, I just know it.

Toshinori is surprisingly youthful looking at the biological age of about fifty, he's more or less the buff grandpa of U.A, and even without 'One for All' he's ridiculously strong for a baseline human, and is taller than me, much to my chagrin I can't seem to grow past 6'3, but he retains his heart of gold. Exercise has also become a hobby for him, he is really enjoying the life of early retirement.

As for me, well, I was about to graduate U.A and become a real Hero. I managed to fully master 'One for All' at 100% just a month ago and I cannot tell you how freeing it is to not have that stubborn handicap anymore. My classmates were powerful, I had no doubts that they would all eventually become elite pros, but it just wasn't fair for them. I had a cheating Quirk that somehow had more Quirks inside of it. Shoto and Bakugo can make me work hard for it, but only if I limit myself to around 70%, but they hate that, so I never hold back on them.

I was filled with nerves though. As the classrep of U.A's class 3-A Hero course, and the strongest student in the school, I had to give a speech about my time in U.A. God, it's not even that this was new to me, I'd done big speeches before, but this felt super sad for some reason. It made some amount of sense, I knew I'd miss what being a student at U.A entailed, and I'd miss my classmates. I doubted that this'd be the last time we met, but things wouldn't be the same.

And, that was fine. It's probably for the best since Mei and me... well it turns out we actually made a baby together. I nearly laughed when she revealed that little fact a month ago, but with how uncharacteristically scared she looked I couldn't bring myself to laugh in her face like that. The timing isn't the best, but then again it isn't the worst either. We loved each other, and we were about to become adults. Having a child at eighteen may seem bad on paper, however graduating from U.A meant that we were both adults in our respective fields. Mei also expressed the desire to keep the baby in her belly, and I hoped she did too honestly, so we would become parents.

Toshinori is the only one that I told about it, and he congratulated me, seeming happy, if a small bit concerned, for me and Mei's decision. He was probably concerned that 'One for All' would endanger the family I'd made, but I wasn't worried. A few of my close friends know, Mei knows, but other than that nobody knows. All For One is still in Tartarus, and Garaki is imprisoned right alongside him. It may be a bit too optimistic to say, but I think I'll be fine.

I smirked at the blonde Symbol as I asked him." So, how was it? How did he look when he saw you looking right as rain?" I questioned the man who was basically my father what it looked like to see his nemesis' face when he showed up completely fine and with a healthy stomach.

But, much to my surprise, Toshinori just shook his head and answered." He died last night. The guards don't even know what happened, his broken body must have finally given out."

I was surprised to hear those words, but after a second I just said." Well, that means there's finally no chance of him coming back. With him and Shigaraki gone that's 'All for One' gone. So, 'One for All' doesn't need to be passed on anymore. If it even can be passed on at this point."

All Might nodded at my words." Too true, but stay vigilant. Even with All for One gone, a new evil could still arise in the future. If it does then-"

"I'll stop them, don't worry about that All Might. You just relax and enjoy your life from now on, eat a stake with your new stomach. Thanks for teaching me the way, I can hold the torch from here."

I took a pause before genuinely smiling at him and just repeating those words he spoke years ago." Now, it's my turn."

All Might seemed to shed a few tears at that, but he ended up ended up enveloping me in his arms, embracing me like a father would he son.

"I know that you'll be an amazing Symbol. You've done nothing but make me proud every day since you inherited my power. Do your best, Hyuga."

Those words made me return his hug, and even I began to cry a little. Goddammit, I love my life so much!

"I will, Toshinori. Make sure you eat well dude, spend the rest of your days eating the tastiest sushi and the fattest steaks in all Japan. You deserve it." I added that last part, making him laugh slightly at my joking around.

He wiped away his tears, and gave me an infectious smile." I'll remember that, I'm counting on you Fortify. Now, step into the next chapter of your life." He gestured to behind him, beyond the curtains and onto the stage where I'd be speaking to all the third years in the school, and the staff within U.A.

I gave All Might one final nod as I stepped forward and onto the stage with a genuine smile on my face, I wasn't a grinner like Toshinori but I like to make my smiles genuine when I was in my Hero costume. The eyes of so many people were on me, but I didn't feel self-conscious at all, I felt like I could do anything.

The principal introduced me and I got a round of applause, the rat god himself handing me a microphone as he makes way for me to take centerstage. I looked over the people in the crowd and caught sight of my classmates, each giving me a thumbs up. class 1-B, who could give me a nod of respect, except Monoma of course.

But, one person in particular caught my eyes. Mei. My beautiful Mei. Her skin was shining in the light, free from oil and grime, her pink hair was brushed so that it was straight and out of it's dreadlocks. And, she was actually wearing a school uniform for once. She looked like the most beautiful woman in the world to me in that moment. She was perfect.

She caught my eye and smiled placing a hand on her, still, flat stomach which would develop over time until we had our child. I'm sure whoever they are will be as perfect as their mother.

After they all settled down and I looked down at them, I practically felt my nerves evaporate as I remembered how many times I'd done something similar before. This was easy.

"Thank you, but you can stop now. If you don't I might start to get flustered and hide behind the curtains again." I kept a smiling face as my audience laughed a little at my joke and the ice was officially broken as I began to run my mouth.

"So, I was called up here to basically tell all you guys about how my time at U.A has been in these three amazing years, and I've got to you it's been-" I began to speak, but I was cut off by the sight of someone who I hadn't talked to in a very long time. A mop of green hair in the corner of my vision.

Izuku Midoriya. My... friend? Possibly. I wasn't so sure at that point.

The relationship me and Izuku had was strained since I became a Hero Course student. Becoming a Hero was something he had always wished for, but he never had a Quirk like mine. He couldn't wipe out a building with the swing of his arm, and he didn't have meta-knowledge like I did. He was ordinary in a world full of people with quirks which, ironically enough, made him the quirky one.

He could have been me. It would have been as easy as me deciding to not send him in a different direction to that sludge Villain. He could have been the next All Might, the man he looked up to more than anything, yet he was stuck as a Quirkless man forever. The way the Quirkless are treated is just disgusting, U.A is far better than Aldera, but Izuku still got more than a few hurtful comments over his time here. Even if Bakugo did end up apologising to him, that didn't erase his low self-esteem. Just like how even if I told him the truth and apologised for that, he would still be Quirkless.

I had wronged him back then. Even if only I know that, it still eats me up inside.

Looking at him now, I could see that he lacked muscle still, and he had a forced smile on his face as he sat next to a few nobodies in the General Course with him. He was unhappy with his life, unsatisfied with the decisions he was forced to make.

And, I get to stand up here and tell the school what had shaped me into the best Hero prospect that they have, practically rubbing that in his face.

I can't do that.

"You know what, it was amazing. But, I can't say that a school can shape someone into a Hero. No institution can do that." My words startled the crowd slightly and grabbed the attention of the teachers, some looking confused whilst others looked mildly offended.

I continued nonetheless." That's not to insult the school, they're the best at what they do. I have no doubt that anyone trained in this place could become a powerful Hero. But, being truly Hero, embodying everything that defines a Hero. That isn't something that you can teach a person. True heroes show that they're heroic by helping others and being the best version of themselves. And unfortunately... that isn't me. I'm not a true hero, even if I am a Pro-Hero."

My words caused a flurry of murmurs to spread through the crowd, and several of my classmates had wide eyes, the teachers were even a little disturbed by my words, but I kept on going.

"This world is an unfair place, everyone in this world isn't born equal. At the very least people don't really believe that they are. Be it power, wealth, race, humans will always find ways to divide each other and look down on each other. I learned this when I was younger, and I personally think that's wrong. We are all worth the same, no matter how we are born, or how lucky we are in terms of the genetic lottery known as inheriting a Quirk. I am one of the lucky ones, simply the fact I can stand here and speak at all means that I'm lucky to even be able to get this strong in the first place. But, I'm not truly heroic, not like someone else that I know is. Many deserve my place more than me, and I can only say sorry to those people who don't have it as easy as me. Some of you are more heroic than me, but don't have what I've been given to give you that boost, it's unfair and no matter what I say this world is in the wrong for being this way, but it doesn't need to be this way forever. There is a better way for us as people."

The murmuring continued, and a few teachers were even glaring at me for some reason, but I ignored them as someone in the crowd asked." And how would you make everyone equal? How do you even know what you're talking about?"

I immediately answered." There's no way for me to make everyone in the world become equal in terms of power levels, but the mentality of others can change. It's sad, but many believe that having a strong Quirk can make you worth more than someone else. I'll admit it, having a good Quirk can make you superior in terms of power, but why should power even decide a persons worth to begin with? Why should being able to make explosions with your hands, or being able to destroy a building with the swing of your arm make you worth more than someone with no Quirk at all? They might be stronger, but there's more to being powerful than being strong. You could be smart, kind, determined, but the world will only see you at face value. But, if a person's worth wasn't based on their strength, then everyone would be equal, or at least equal in the eyes of the majority."

One mutant kid in the crowd spoke up." And what if the world doesn't want to change? What if they won't change their opinions of others?"

I simply smiled at those words." Then try with the next generation. Everyone here has the capacity to change, we're all young, we're all open minded. The world isn't in the chaos it was before All Might, we don't have to focus on the physical threats as much as the problems with our population. He was too busy fighting the problems with Villains to fight the problems with society. I'm not insulting the man, but what he once did is no longer the solution. I don't want to hold up the world with my own two shoulders. If All Might was a Symbol of Peace that protected this society, then I want to become a Symbol of Change that improves our society! I want to fight the injustice that plagues the world! Be it those without Quirks, those who possess them, I want to create a world free of discrimination and create a society where people don't need to be afraid of each other! So please, believe in me and believe that I can end the challenges that I know some of you face, because I know what it's like to be you, I used to be you until I got my powers! I used to be a Quirkless nobody, but now that I know what it's like to be on top I want to show the rest of my people what it's like to be so high! Please, join me at the top of the world!"

I made sure to meet Izuku's eyes especially once I was done. He looked surprised, as though he were still digesting my words, but eventually he began to clap, a few tears in his eyes. That goddamn cry crybaby, and a few tears were in my eyes.

I guess we were both crybabies.

Eventually others began to join Izuku, the people next to them began to clap too, and then soon everyone was clapping for me. Maybe some were just doing so out of peer pressure, but maybe not. Only time would te-

The world suddenly stopped. And it isn't as though my mind saw something that surprised me, or that I was using my Quirk to see the world move slow. I mean everything looked as though it just froze in time.

I felt a shot of panic flow through me. What the hell was going on? Was I dreaming or-

A portal suddenly appeared in front of me and I was sucked inside, the world around me spinning as my body disintegrated into nothing, my mind travelling through an astral plane where time wasn't a concept and space was uncertain. My entire life flashed in an instant before-

"NOOOO!" I screamed out loud, my head hitting what feels like a chunk of wood and thumping hard against the material, before I suddenly jumped back from the pain, clutching my... hand. My relatively thin, non-muscular, zero scarred, fourteen year old hand.

What?

"Who the hell was that, what weirdo was screaming like a maniac at this time of night?" An unfamiliar voice called out to me, and when I stared around I came to a horrifying conclusion as I realised where I was.

ST Paul's orphanage. This body's home before I moved into the U.A dorms. I was in the past, in my fourteen year old self.

"Oh no."

What the hell is this?!

Yeah, I just ended up doing this for fun. I'll continue it if I feel like it, but expect a little bit more.
