I feel… different.
I don't think it's a bad kind of different. In fact, I don't think I've ever had this level of clarity. I feel like I've finally found meaning in a life lacking direction. It's really exhilarating.
The goal has been realized, but there are many things that need to be done to reach it, to become this worlds symbol of peace.
I'll need power, first of all. All might was able to make villains fear him with power alone, and that power also helped those he protected feel safe. Next is I'll need to build both knowledge and a reputation, without those I won't get very far. Another thing I need is a way to find and stop crime.
I'll need to take this one step at a time. The first one is power.
I continued my workout from before with a far greater enthusiasm. I was focused and driven, and the results showed. I had gathered all of the scrap against the back wall before days end. When I come back, the training will be moving the pieces across the factory floor, and back again.
When Midoriya did this training, there was enough material to last him ten months. Here, there's only enough to last me for one day, so I'll be reusing the scrap I've already moved.
While heading back to the club late in the afternoon, I decided to fill the time by using my gacha.

… On one hand I'm glad, but on the other I'm rather upset. I got a duplicate of a quirk, God damn it.
Uh Oh!
Looks like you have two of the same quirk
Would like to combine them to boost their strength?

Alright. Guess I'm going to be a Dilf.
After a meal and a much-needed shower. I was in uniform and ready for the Sunday crowd. Luckily as it was a Sunday there wasn't nearly as many people and nobody really gave me any trouble. Apparently, Sunday has an early closing schedule, and weekdays have a more regular bar type of clientele. The music is reduced from a DJ to a jukebox, and the lights become regular ceiling lights rather than the previous visual vomit of color.
Makes sense to tone it down when you're not as busy. Don't need as much staff working as well. I, however, will be working Mondays and Thursdays on top of the weekend. Junior said I need to fill the spots the previous bouncer filled up.
The time until Friday morning was spent working on my physique, my job, or reading at the library curtesy of my new library card. I mostly focused on chemical compounds for creating clothes, as well as things like interrogation, martial arts, history, and things that would be in a huntsman course like Grimm studies and dust.
On Friday I got a knock on the door from Miltia. She lead me to an office space where Junior sat at the desk, with Melanie filing her fingernails on a couch a short distance away.
"Hey boss. Miltia said you wanted to see me?" I asked him. He gave me a quick nod and I sat down on a chair across from him.
"So, I was going through the process of getting your official records done, and I realized that you did even give me your name." Junior said.
Shit. I hadn't thought of that. I thought about it for a while. I don't think my name would fit, no colors. I remembered an oc that I had created for some fanfic I wanted to create for My Hero, but I never got around to writing it.
His name was Juuro. It was a story about the nomu from the USJ regaining his humanity and becoming a hero. It was going to be a journey about overcoming guilt and other types of trauma, and would come full circle with him becoming the tenth user of One for All. That was why I chose that name, Juuro. It's a name that was created from the Japanese number ten, Juu, and the word for reactor, Ro. To be honest, I didn't really like the name because translation tools online are kind of trash.
"…You gonna answer kid? Junior asked, knocking me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and gave a nod.
"I'm Juuro, Juuro Kane." I answered. Kane was the Japanese word for gold, meant to be a reminder of the gold standard I hope to create as a symbol.
"Alright. That was really all I needed from you. Now all I need is to send the info through some contacts and you should be all good." Junior said, giving a sigh of relief.
A short while later I was doing my shift with the Friday crowd. Apparently, Junior had gotten some special DJ to do a show tonight so the crows was larger than usual, and extra aggressive. I've had to put my foot down with a number of people, and deliver some punches to just as many.
Luckily my shift finished before the night had gone on for too long, so I made my way up to my room and got to work. I took off my shirt, and began to meditate. I thought about what I wanted, the shape, the size, the color, the material. I then concentrated, making the image in my mind as clear in my head as I could, and pushed.
I opened my eyes to see that I had successfully used Creation to make All Might's golden age attire. I personally like the bronze age suit but the cape wouldn't let me hide it under my normal clothes.
Putting on the attire I took a quick look in the mirror, changing into the All Might colors and hair. As I did so, I was surprised that something happened.
The suit had changed color as well. Is this because it was made from my fat cells, so it counts as being a 'par of me' to my color shifting quirk. Interesting, makes me wonder how my other quirks interact with each other. No, I can think about it later.
I opened the window, being sure to close it mostly behind me, I don't know if it would lock automatically if I closed it all the way. After that, I took off over the rooftops.
I spent a large amount of time looking for crime to stop, with most of them being small offenses that I could stop with just my presence. A drug deal here and there, and some kids being delinquents that mostly solved themselves when I got there.
Eventually though, I found a doozy. A full-blown car chase, with a red station wagon racing down the road, and a series of cop cars following behind. Luckily, they were heading toward me, giving me a quick idea of what to do.
I waited until they were close enough, and with the best timing I could manage, I jumped off of the roof and onto the top of the car. I was on the edge of the roof, and would have missed if I was any later, but I just barely made it.
"What the fuck was that!?" one of the criminals inside yelled. I then bent over the side of the car, looking into the driver's window, and seeing a series of three masked criminals.
"Why hello there criminals! What a fine night for a drive isn't it?" I said, which seemed to shut of their brains for a moment. I then made a move to the font of the car, over the hood.
"I give my apologies for what I'm about to do to your car, but you put everyone in danger for every moment your actions go on unimpeded." I said, before punching though the car hood as hard as I could with strong arm, annihilating the car's engine.
The crooks were stunned for a moment as they processed what just happened. I looked to them and the seemed to have been quite scared of me. Makes sense, given what I just did to their getaway vehicle.
"I recommend that you turn yourselves in now. There's not much you can do." I spoke. This aggravated the driver, who then slammed on the brakes. This pulled the car into a fast stop, and nearly flung me forward. I thought quickly and grabbed onto the hole in the hood I made with my punch.
When the car was at a stop in hopped to the side and punched the diver door where the hinges met, bending the side of the car inwards and breaking the lock. This left the door opened and I grabbed the thing and dragged him out of the car.
I noticed a weapon in his belt, so I pulled it out. It was a simple knife, so I laid on the hood and smashed it with strong arm, making the blade unusable.
The cops showed up and went out to subdue the driver, while the other two criminals had escaped through the passenger side door, making a run for a nearby alley. I took off and decided to take to the roof. If I followed them into the alley, they could get the drop on me, and I didn't have any aura to protect myself form those kinds of things.
I my way, and spotted them from the roof, they had gotten to an intersection in the alleys, and seemed to be doing just as I expected, setting a trap. One was carrying a pistol and the other some sort of rifle.
I proceeded to take a heroic jump off of the roof and landed in from of them (I've been jumping from high placed a lot). My landing seemed to spook them as they froze for a moment. That moment was all I needed to push the advantage.
I used strong arm on their weapons, and successfully knocked the guns out of their hands while doing so. The impact of them on the wall shattered the pistol, and split the rifle in two. Not taking a moment to spare, I grabbed the two thugs by their shirts and smacked them against each other's heads. I didn't do it with a lot of force, but it was enough to stun them for a moment.
I then dragged out of the alley to where the car chase had ended. I seemed that the police had just finished apprehending the driver. One officer looked at me with a surprised face.
"Ha ha! Looking for these." I said, letting the two stunned criminals down. Without taking another moment, I jumped up and climbed to the rooftop. I stood over the area, seeing that the only damage was the car.
I then felt a heavy light on me coming from the street below. It was some sort of search light that was being used on the ground below.
"Ha ha ha! I hope I didn't leave too much trouble for the fine officers of Vale! I'll be sure to lighten the burden!" I said. Time for a public proclamation, at least to the police.
"For the criminal elements of Vale! Of the World! I am All Might! And wherever you may act! Wherever you may dwell! I will find you, and ensure that you face justice for your crimes! Vale's citizens will fear you no longer! Because I! AM! HERE!" I yelled, finishing off with a hero pose.
After that I made a mad dash across the rooftops, and ended my night of crime fighting. That was slightly embarrassing, but I also kinda feel like a badass.
I like the feeling.
