Izuku groaned in pain as he was in the shower. The burn marks in his body didn't heal yet and it stung when the water came into contact with his burnt skin. He underestimated Endeavor. Endeavor's last attack was too powerful that most of his body was burnt. Even though he had a self-healing Quirk, it would take time for him to be fully healed.

He got out of the shower and put on some clothes. Using an illusionary Quirk, he hid his burn marks and walked to the living room. Izuku looked at the news which was being shown on the television.

"We are currently suffering the loss of the Number 1 hero, Endeavor. In his short reign of being the Number 1 hero, he managed to deal with difficult cases. But this time, he lost against the mysterious villain named All for One who, for a few days already, haven't made his move. Here we have an official statement from the police", the news reporter said as the camera shifted to Investigator Edo.

"Currently, we have identified All for One to be a person who has multiple Quirks. As seen from the footage of the battle between him and the late Endeavor, he had different Quirks such as manipulating the weather, shooting shockwaves, and super strength. Because of this, we advise heroes and the public to be alert always. Heroes should avoid confronting the man alone and focus on retreating and getting help. We are doing everything we can to identify All for One and put him behind bars in order to give peace to the Todoroki family and to his other victims", he told the media.

"How are you planning on defeating someone who stood toe-to-toe against Endeavor? According to the heroes who witnessed the fight, All for One easily killed one hero who recklessly charged at him.", a journalist asked.

"We are working on countermeasures against him. So far we are trying to contact not only Japanese heroes but also foreign heroes to face against him. If one man is not enough, we will bring Earth's mightiest heroes against him", Edo answered.

"All for One suddenly attacked Endeavor in broad daylight. Is spreading fear all he wanted to do or do the police think that there is an ulterior motive?", another journalist asked.

"We cannot say for sure. So far, we believe that he fought and eventually killed Endeavor just to make his presence known to the public", Edo answered.

That statement caused other journalist to rise up and ask more questions. Izuku just smirked at their theories.

How foolish, he thought.

He remembered a memory of the man he hated.

After being told to give up on his dreams, Izuku was on his way home. He had known it all along but he refused to accept it. Now that his idol told him, he had no choice but to accept it and think realistically.

Then an explosion occurred nearby. Izuku immediately ran to the scene and was horrified of what he saw. The slime villain that All Might supposedly captured was suffocating a person. And worse, the person was his friend, Katsuki.

Izuku knew the pain Katsuki was dealing with as he was subjected to the same pain earlier. He looked around and wondered what the pros were doing.

They were doing nothing. They were just controlling the damage. None of them were risking their lives as what All Might said. Izuku wanted to help. Especially since his childhood friend was in danger… but he realized. He was Quirkless which meant he was powerless.

He looked down at the ground and cursed at his powerless self. Izuku turned around and began walking away when he saw a familiar skinny figure. Hope entered him since the real hero was here.

But All Might did nothing but watch. Izuku couldn't believe it. The very hero that told him that pros risk their lives was staying safe. He felt betrayed.

The situation was resolved when a hero with a solidification Quirk arrived and solidified the villain. Katsuki was safely rescued and the villain was detained. But it wasn't a happy ending. Not for Izuku.

He knew that society was wrong. All Might was a hypocrite. Hatred filled him. Izuku couldn't believe it that he was fooled by a hypocrite and that he wanted to become like him. The very idea that he idolized All Might made him sick.

But he couldn't do anything about it. He was Quirkless and powerless.

###

He now had the power to do it.

Izuku went up to his room and sat on his bed and wondered about his next move. The Number 1 hero already died and society was surely shaken. But what should he do next? How could he ruin society when the top was already cut?

Then an idea popped in his head. If the strongest was defeated, then it was time to nip the growing buds.

Todoroki Shoto couldn't believe he was crying. His brother, Natsuo, was clenching his fist while his sister, Fuyumi, and his mother, Rei, were hugging each other and crying.

He hated his father. The hardships he experienced because of him, the current state of his mother, the broken family he was in, and all other disasters were all caused by him. Then why? Why wouldn't his tears stop?

Maybe it was because the fact that his father finally realized and wanted to make amends softened his heart. Or maybe that change of his father's attitude when he became the Number 1 hero gave him hope that his father could change… That he would someday be proud of his own father.

But that was all gone. All that remained was a dead body of a man named Todoroki Enji.

"All for One…", Shoto, seething with anger, muttered as he clenched his fist.

"Shoto…", Natsuo looked at his brother, worried that he might seek revenge.

"I know… All for One defeated that old man. I have no chance against him as much as I hate to admit it", Shoto said.

Rei continued crying as Fuyumi comforted her. No matter how much he hated his father, Shoto felt that his father still didn't deserve to die. His father was asking for a second chance but didn't get it.

Shoto sighed and wiped his eyes. If his father would see him being weak, he would beat him up. But that was in the past. He wondered what his father would do if he saw Shoto crying. But it was useless thinking about it as the man was already dead.

A week passed and Izuku was standing away from a school known as Seiai Academy. It was filled with hero-in-trainings. What better way to ruin society by killing those who would become future heroes? Also, this would make the people lose trust in the police and the heroes.

"Now… It's show time", Izuku said as he donned the black helmet.
