Summary: Shota thought discovering their 'Nightwalker' to be a kid was bad enough. Not to mention how the said kid is literally Quirkless, meaning the law cannot touch him.

"I don't wanna be a Hero. It's too troublesome"

And then this?

Maybe it's not too late to ask Nezu for a raise this year…

"Oh! Nice upload speed. This wristwatch Midoriya's father gave is a Godsend. Hello Sansa-san~"

SLAM

"Why would you do that?!"

"Do what?"

"Don't play dumb! You just said so yourself. You were the one who leaked those videos out there! Not just nationally, but internationally as well! What are you doing, Touya-kun? Are you trying to betray Midoriya-san? And after he saved your family too?!"

"Ei, don't blame me. I'mj just following Mido-kun's order."

"…what?"

"Yeah. He told me himself. 'Share those videos when I am dead or captured by the authorities', were his exact words."

Silence.

"…but why? Why would he—"

"To show the world that the greatest villain of all time is dead for good. And—"

Smirked.

To destroy the current Hero-Villain era to smithereens.


The media was in a frenzy. And Taneo, a journalist from Juzo news, couldn't blame them for that at all.

It was an appropriate reaction, when the videos of someone—All for One. The evilest nemesis of All Might's enemy—being tortured were suddenly appeared on all of the television channels; hacked and was forcefully aired by an unknown sender. Those foreign countries treat it as a tasteless joke at first. Or a movie in the making and they were using the known villain as the bad guy in the film. Yet when they tried to affirm this inquiry with Japan, they were met with a flat, almost vicious, rejection.

Of course, when that happened, they became suspicious; Japan may not speak, though they literally shout 'look at this! Look at our deepest secret!' the moment they decided to keep their mouth shut. In regard to their blatant cover-up, the outside countries decided to dig into this 'Midoriya Izuku's' character then. And what little they found on the internet was enough for them to create a clear picture.

The heroes of Japan abandoned Izuku's scream of help, causing his friends to be killed by the hand of an evil villain (identity unknown).

The record of a large-scale attack may not be there, but the anguish plastered on the kid's face was sincere enough, the thought of 'this child is lying. He was just trying to gain our attention' never crossed their mind.

Now that they knew the reason why this torturer was so cruel toward a living human being, their disgust and outrage toward him were now shifted to the Heroes of the land of Sakura. Taneo knew because, as he stood in a conference room with a bunch of other reporters, he heard their protest loud and clear, even if they weren't present. Japan's media was asking the same thing. 'Is that video real?', 'Is All for One dead?', 'Where's Midoriya Izuku now?', 'We knew he fought Shigaraki Tomura, did he escape again?', 'Are you trying to hide this incident just like how you hide Endeavour's family abuse?'

'Or did you 'get rid' of him instead, so you don't have to explain this…atrocity to us?

"This wouldn't have happened if you heroes helped him when he begged you to," Taneo remembered one particular question. It came from an unsuspecting reporter, clad in a green overcoat, and a beard that will make any man jealous. He was wearing thick-rimmed glasses. A camera was hanging over his chest while his hand was holding onto a small notebook filled with notes. The man was staring straight at Kenji—along with the head of Tartarus, he decided to hold this press conference the day after the video spread—vicious glare was evident even when the sunlight reflected on the surface of the glass, causing it to glint; it made him even more menacing, actually, "in fact, Midoriya Izuku's brutality won't exist if anyone treated him like a decent human being. You won't help him—and in extent, his friends—because he's Quirkless, aren't you? You people always treat them like trash. No, even lower than that."

"I won't be surprised when those people, weak Quirks included, will revolt one of these days."

Tokuda Taneo was an honest working journalist. Since the day his father was saved by the number one hero, he aspired to be a member of a reporter society so he could share the magnificent story to the world as a whole. Except then, he sometimes forgets. Behind the flowery bragging or incredible shows of skill, laid a story untold. That said story shaped the person into who they were today; whether they'll turn out good or bad. He wanted to believe in the good of people, he really did! But at this moment, when the media voiced their fiery complaint towards the police force, who got flustered after the accusation of one man, Taneo knew. Deep within his heart—

He didn't believe in heroes anymore.

Such a pity. Especially knowing he's All Might's fanboys, a devout follower of a man who exuded kindness and justice for people to lean on to.

(Was All Might one of the heroes who ignored Izuku's plea? And Taneo's father was lucky, because he was trapped in a famous building that will surely land itself on the front page of a magazine? Was All Might one of the heroes who was in it for fame and riches?)

Maybe Taneo should change the verb into 'he was' instead of 'he is' from today onward.


(A/N): Tokuda Taneo is a canon BnHA character, but for anime only `3`

Poor All Might, got the brunt of other people's stupidity. It was even more ironic because those people doesn't even exist in BnHA universe :'D

[DELETED SCENE]

?: *Threw the black glasses away then ripped the latex mask off of his face. Under the disguise od a bearded man, was Okuta Kagero. Or known as Giran, the neutral broker* "To think that kid managed to gain my sympathy like this. Was it because his father gave me a lot of money or because his past reminded me of my own?"

Kagero: *Those days when he was mocked by his peer from having a seemingly useless yet evil-kind-of-Quirk flashed inside his mind. He scratched the back of his head* "Screw it. This incident left a bad taste in my mouth, imma drink a lot of sake after this."

Kagero: "…still. Show me the new world you've envisioned, Midoriya Izuku. Because even I started to get tired of the constant brawl between those pretentious pricks"
