I didn't realize it, but I was able to fall asleep. I had no idea how long it was, but from the sight of it when I was waking up, the sky was already dark. There weren't even any stars-like a darker shade of navy blue paint merely coated the earth.

"Shit!" I exclaimed as I immediately jotted up and scrambled to check the time on my phone.

"6:40!? Heck, it's almost 7 pm!" I cried in disbelief.

Chizuru, what a complete idiot! What if All Might already passed by the gate while you were fast asleep!? Aaahhh! Baka, baka, baka!

I scolded myself over and over again. Now I was almost certain that I wouldn't get to see All Might today. I wanted to slap myself so hard. All I did here was waste time!

My frustration was suddenly put to a stop when my ears recognized what seemed to be the sound of steel and heavy metal unbolting.

C-Could it be!?

I frantically turned my head around and I was instantly regained with hope when I saw the gates of U.A. slowly springing open. I positioned myself behind the tree again to hide, peeking at the scene with only one eye.

God, I hope it's All Might. Please let it be All Might. Please, please!

My eyes were filled with so much anticipation until someone finally came out, but it wasn't who I was expecting.

Instead, it was a kid with messy dark green hair, who was probably around the ages of 15-16 wearing U.A.'s school uniform. He had his hands holding both of his backpack straps just a little below the level of his armpits as he was walking; probably about to head home. He was a rather cute kid but nonetheless, it wasn't All Might. My face and my mood instantly sulked.

Ugh! I give up! I mumbled to myself, shaking my head as I carelessly slumped back behind the tree. I grabbed my backpack beside me and stood up, patting away the grass and dirt in my shirt and pants. Ready to book a cab so I could head home and spend the rest of the night crying over how unproductive I was, I was startled when a loud and familiar voice suddenly resonated through the area.

"Midoriya-shounen!"

That voice...

I looked back and suddenly froze. There he was, all height and muscles, approaching that green-haired kid with his signature wide smile plastered on his face. Even with this distance, I could feel his glowing energy very well as if we were just standing next to each other.

"A-All Mi-"

"All Might?" Both me and the U.A. student with green hair whose name seems to be Midoriya said in unison. Although mine only came out as a whisper.

Returning to not-so-hidden-ninja-mode, I watched the both of them closely. They seemed to be talking about something although I couldn't really hear and make sense of what they were talking about. The conversation ended with All Might patting the top of the young boy's head and giving him what looks like a highly approving thumbs up. The boy was then obviously overjoyed as his cheeks went red and his eyes while looking at All Might were wide and almost sparkling.

I smiled at the scene in front of me. I thought they were cute, like a father giving his son some inspirational talk. Until the cute kid waved good bye to All Might and started leaving while All Might remained where he was, as if he was watching the boy proudly behind his back. Any second now and he'd probably go back to the school.

Shit. I didn't even come up with a plan on how I'm going to approach him.

I gripped my bag tightly, thinking hard.

Just call him. That's right. Talking about the interview would have to come later. For now, just get his attention. Come on Chizuru, you can do it!

"All Mi-"

His head suddenly turned, but not to my direction. My voice stopped and all of a sudden, I couldn't speak as if something was stuck in my throat. From the academy, another guy emerged. Only this time he wasn't a student. A teacher, probably. The man was tall and slender, wearing a ragged black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. His hair was also black and messy which was weighing down up to the length of his shoulders.

For real though. Does everyone at U.A. have messy hair..?

He seemed to be the reason All Might turned around. He probably called him and now All Might was walking away, catching up to the guy with messy hair.

All this time, all I've done was watch him. For the second time in a row that I got interrupted, I couldn't speak. The thought of calling All Might suddenly made me really nervous. The gates of U.A. now appeared to be closing too.

No! No, no, wait!

But I couldn't do or say anything. I was stuck. The gaps between the gate grew thinner and thinner and the vision I had inside of All Might was slowly disappearing. Until the gates finally boomed shut once again.

No...

That was it. I missed my chance. Whatever the reason was that I couldn't call out to him, I got so angry with myself that I started punching the tree and stomping on the ground like a kid throwing tantrums.

Ah, just what the hell, Chizuru!? So stupid!

My phone suddenly lit up and vibrated inside my pocket. Someone was calling. I stopped my childish tantrums and got my phone out. It was Ryoka calling me.

Great. She'll probably say the words"I told you so" over and over again.

"Hey, Ryoka..." I said right after hitting the answer button.

"Chizuru-san! Where are you?"

"I'm still here at U.A. Academy."

"Well what happened? Were you able to see All Might?"

I wasn't able to answer right away. I was just so frustrated that I remained silent.

"Chizuru-san? Are you there?" Ryoka was calling my attention again.

"H-Hai." I answered.

"What's wrong? You sound really worn out. Is everything alright?" Ryoka asked me again with worry in her voice.

"I'm fine, Ryoka." I managed to release a small smile. "It's just... Things didn't go the way that I had hoped for." I sighed heavily.

"So you didn't meet All Might, huh.. See I told you it was going to be hard." Ryoka told me just as I expected.

"You should probably go home. Reports of villains popping up these days are rising more than the usual. It's dangerous to be by yourself especially at night." She continued.

"Hai, hai. I was about to call a cab to go home. Thanks, Ryoka." I replied. At the back of my head though, little subconscious me was yelling while thrashing her arms wildly, Lies! You weren't about to call a cab, you were punching a tree!

"Oh, and Chizuru-san?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't feel too bummed out, alright? We'll just have to keep trying." Ryoka added. I could sense that she was giving me one of her reassuring smiles at the other end of the phone. Picturing it lightened my mood a little.

I nodded my head and smiled. "Right."

Ryoka finally ended the call after saying good bye and that I should take care. With my phone having 7% left on the battery, I then booked for a cab so I could finally head home and get some rest.

(All Might's POV)

I couldn't help but get that kind of feeling that someone was watching you the moment I stepped outside of U.A.

I chased after young Midoriya before he could go home so I could congratulate him, seeing his hard work and serious effort he was giving. U.A's activities had been extremely tough especially to those enrolled in the hero course. As expected of the top hero academy in Japan, they sure weren't making it easy for the students. Therefore as young Midoriya's teacher and mentor, it was my job to uplift the kid's spirit, encourage him, and make him recognize his own potential.

It was then while I was giving him my "hopefully inspiring" hero talk that I was suddenly hit with that strong sense of feeling of being watched. Even after Midoriya left, I hung outside for a while to see if anything would happen. I was also careful not to give myself away that I was aware of being watched-scanning the area only from the corner of my eyes.

But Aizawa, my co-teacher and fellow pro hero (going by his hero name Eraserhead) emerged and suddenly interrupted my search. He wanted to talk to me about a few students from the class of 1-A, which was also the class Midoriya belonged to.

"Sure thing. But just a minute, I need to check something outside." I informed Aizawa.

"What's going on?" Aizawa asked me.

"I can't help but feel that someone is watching me. I'll just take a look around. For the safety of everyone in U.A. as well." I answered while staring back at the gate.

"I'll be inside. And for the last time, stop being careless and watch out for the media." Aizawa sounded a little annoyed while reminding me.

"Ah, I'm sorry about that. But that won't happen again." I shrunk back to my original, skeletal-like form with huge puffs of cloud and smoke going off of my body. Blood began spilling wildly from my mouth as I started coughing.

(Toshinori's POV)

"I'm going out in this form so I won't get people's attention." I said. Aizawa didn't respond and proceeded back to the academy.

Deciding not to pass by the main entrance in case it would draw too much attention even with this form, I went around the school for another exit route to begin my search.

While scanning the perimeter, I wasn't able to find anyone or anything suspicious. That feeling of being watched for some reason wasn't wearing on my back anymore. It faded.

That's weird. Maybe it was all in my head after all. I thought to myself.

Did slowly losing my powers also come with insanity as a side effect?

Eventually, I saw one person standing beside the lamppost just across U.A.'s main gate entrance. She had her back on me but seeing her short brown hair and clothing seemed awfully familiar to me.

What is she doing and why is she all alone? I wondered.

Doesn't she know that it's especially dangerous for a woman to be out here by herself at night?

I decided to approach her and possibly give her a friendly reminder to be careful. Even with the current Toshinori Yagi form and not possessing the hero-like features of All Might, it was still my duty to keep the people safe from harm.

The closer I got to her, I could see that she was staring down on her phone, looking rather impatient.

"Excuse me miss, is everything alright?"
