Oi! All might is here!

He's finally appeared!

Quick, grab the camera!

People from the media were suddenly quick on their feet, gathering in a swarm and encircling All Might as he first emerged from U.A. Academy. It was their most awaited moment.

Flashes going on and off; sounds of the camera snapping from multiple directions; and a roar of infinite questions from the media all erupted in just a split second.

All Might, what was your reason behind applying as a teacher at U.A. Academy?

How do you teach and train your students?

Is it harder now to fulfill your duties as the number one hero now that you've started teaching?

Microphones were also popping up from the enraged crowd as they were squeezing and pushing against each other, trying to poke their microphones and recorders to All Might's direction.

"Shimatta. Looks like they've all been waiting for me here!" All Might stated, followed by a hearty laugh while scratching the back of his neck.

"Chizuru-san! Over there! Let's try to get around this crowd!" My friend Ryoka told me, suddenly taking hold of my wrist and dragging me with her while searching for an opening we could get into.

But at this rate, I knew it was already impossible. We could no longer force to squeeze ourselves in that riot. I guess we could, but we would only put ourselves in danger.

"Dame! If we try to get in there we'll have nothing but our bones crushed." I told Ryoka as I pryed my wrist off her grip.

"But Chizuru... We waited for hours..." Ryoka groaned with an upset face.

"I-I know..." I muttered feeling very upset as well. The grip on the microphone I was holding tightened with what now seemed to be frustration.

I love being a newspaper editor. But this part of the job is such a pain in the ass! But I can't let our efforts go to waste. I just can't!

"Ryoka, hold this and give me your camera!" I instructed Ryoka as a sudden idea popped from my head; frantically giving my microphone to Ryoka in exchange for her camera.

"Wha-what!?" Ryoka uttered in confusion as she subconsiously took the microphone from me and gave me her camera.

"Now give me a ride on your shoulders! Quick!"

"E-Ehh!? F-For what!? Chizuru are you crazy?"

"Pictures! I-I need to take pictures! Please Ryoka-san let me ride on your shoulders!" I begged her. I knew she was more fit to carry me because she was alot taller than me.

"O-Okay!" Ryoka was looking at me all wide-eyed and confused, but she agreed anyway and began to lower her back. I climbed onto her in a piggy back ride style and she slowly got up as her knees trembled most probably from my weight.

"God you're heavy! Just what are you planning to do, Chizuru? Hurry up because I won't be able to hold you for long!" Ryoka warned me while trying her best to gain composure.

"H-Hai!"

When Ryoka hoisted me up, it was then that I was able to see All Might's whole figure clearly. Some of the other heroes from the Academy were now with him as they tried to drive away the persistent media.

This is it. Our chance! I should at least get a decent picture of All Might! Now if he'd just look at me... Even just for a second!

I could see that All Might was starting to retreat back to the Academy as he was the cause of this mayhem. I could also hear police sirens arriving at the scene as the teachers probably called them to help control the situation.

I started to panic. How can I make him look at me?

"Oy, Chizuru-san! H-Hurry up!" Ryoka yelled and warned at me from below.

I knew my idea was hopeless. The crowd of media was just too loud with everyone shouting and asking questions at the same time. But despite knowing that my plan probably had zero chances, it was better to try than to give up entirely.

"A-All Might!" I began shouting as loud as I could. My throat was itching and turning hoarse.

Dammit, he's not looking! He can't hear me! This is useless!

I was fighting off my pessimistic mind while continuously shouting at the top of my lungs and simultaenously waving one of my arms frantically in the air. Anything-anything to get All Might's attention! But doing so just disrupted Ryoka's balance and the both of us started wiggling and panicking.

Please All Might, just one glance! I was silently praying hard inside my head; once again shouting his name as loud as I could, despite my throat hurting, as if I was crying for dear life.

Then, like a god hearing and granting my prayers, All Might suddenly turned his head around in my direction. Without even activating my quirk, I could actually sense and sort of absorb this powerful mass of energy emanating from him as he was finally looking at me. It was warm, strong, and tranquil at the same time. Everything radiating from his was just indescribable.

With my hands shaking and my heart beating abnormally fast, I hurriedly steadied the camera and angled at his face. I zoomed in on his muscular physique and at that moment, the scene was beyond perfect.

His blonde hair glistened in the color of rich gold, as if on cue when the sun's rays shone above his head. There was also quite a strong gust of wind that came from the west, making All Might's royal blue cape from behind flap to his side dramatically. When seen from afar, a dark shadow seems to cast over his face almost covering his eyes.

But I was able to see them. Perhaps the camera even enhanced everything better as his eyes were of deeper blue color than the usual. They were stern and fearless; his irises shone with hope. All Might was the perfect definition of the greatest, number one hero. I couldn't help but feel struck, staring at the symbol of peace itself.

Then he gave me a broad smile. As expected, his teeth were dazzling white and perfect. Without hesitation, I clicked on the snap button multiplte times, capturing that exquisite moment.

"Everyone get back! Those who won't will be cuffed and forced to go with the police!" One of the officers who made his way to the center yelled from his megaphone.

Everyone began to bawl in dismay as more and more police officers came into the area. The media had no choice but to back away and All Might was being shoved back inside the Academy by one of the teachers. He now looked away and turned his head around.

"Ch-Chizuru! I-I can't hold it anymore! You're too heavy!" Ryoka's body began to tremble as she slowly tried to sit down on the ground so I could hop off.

"Uagh! My shoulders and my entire back hurts!" Ryoka exclaimed as she tried to massage her lower back.

The people were backing away now and we would get wedged between this crowd if we didn't move. I offered Ryoka my hand to help her stand up. Her face was all red from exhaustion too.

We all heard the gates of U.A. Academy close. Of course, most people were mad saying that U.A. was very rude to shut us off. The crowd was finally thinning out as people now began leaving the place; disappointment and irritation etched on their faces.

"Oi, Chizuru-san! What the heck were you doing a while ago? Shouting "All Might" and waving your hands like a lunatic?" Ryoka began questioning me.

"Were you at least able to take a picture of All Might?"

"Y-Yes! And you're not gonna believe how good of a shot it was!" I told her excitedly despite my voice sounding raspy and harsh.

I quickly showed Ryoka the shots I've made of the visually attractive and stunning All Might. I watched as her eyes widened with awe.

"Suge na... All Might looks really cool! You captured him perfectly, Chizuru!" Ryoka exclaimed happily.

I was very happy indeed. In fact, I could still feel his energy reverberating inside me. My heart has calmed down now as well. I couldn't stop picturing those blue eyes and that wide smile... And it wasn't just any smile. He was smiling at me. He noticed me. All Might was really something.

"Chizuru-san? Ne, are you alright?" Ryoka asked me while waving his hand in front of my face. I blinked.

"E-Eh?"

"You seemed to be spacing out. Are you okay? You're still thinking about All Might, aren't you?"

I felt a hot gush of blood on my cheeks and I gave out a nervous chuckle.

"He's just really amazing..." I answered.

"Of course, that's the number one hero for ya! Now let's get going and show this to the chief! I bet he's gonna be real happy with this!" Ryoka squealed in delight. We both got our stuff ready to get back on the studio. But for some reason after hearing what Ryoka said, I began to feel uncertain.

It's like I didn't want to share the picture with anyone. After showing this to the chief, I'm certain that it will be all over the newspapers. It might even appear on TV where everyone would see it. It would appear that he would be smiling right in front of everyone. Not for me.

For some reason, I didn't want that. I wanted to keep the picture all to myself. It was selfish of me but of course, I knew I couldn't do that.

"Right, let's show this to the chief!" I said enthusiastically.

Ryoka began dialing in her phone for a cab to pick us up and head to the studio. The cab came five minutes later. We went inside and I sat next to the driver's seat. The car eventually drove off and as we were passing by the Academy, I leaned in the car window beside me; remembering everything about how All Might noticed me. I could still picture him standing by the gate. I smiled to myself.

He really is amazing. I hope a bizarre moment like that would come again. I muttered inside my head as the cab drove farther and farther away from the sight of U.A. Academy.
