Izuku looked at the old man in front of him with blank eyes. They sat on the sofa after clearing the mess from before. Izuku sat in front of the Grand Torino while Tsukauchi sat beside him.

Izuku is still trying to process sudden events. He wasn't sure how things had turned this way, but yet, here he was, facing someone he hadn't seen in a long time.

Sorahiko Torino, better known as Gran Torino. He is a retired Pro Hero and one of Izuku's past acquaintances who cares for him. Izuku knew Gran Torino since he once mentored his father, All Might. Although they only met a few times, Izuku remembered him clearly since he was the only one who showed concern for him.

Although Izuku hadn't seen Gran Torino for a long time, he didn't hold any bad feelings for him. And because of this, he was confused when he met him so suddenly.

Tsukauchi looked at the two of them with a puzzled look, he saw Izuku who was still putting on a blank face since the beginning of their meeting. He couldn't help being curious about what happened between them, so he just asked.

" Did you guys know each other? "

" Well, you could say I've been looking for this missing boy all these years "

" missing boy? you mean... "

" Oh, this kid is the son of All Might who disappeared 8 years ago, and the one I've been looking for ever since "

Tsukauchi was very surprised when he heard what Gran Torino had just said. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked back at Izuku.

Izuku, who didn't expect his past to be revealed this way, could only lower his head silently to hide the bitter look he had.

Gran Torino realized what was behind Izuku's silence. He then raised his staff and hit Izuku on the head with it that startling Izuku and Tsukauchi.

Whack~

" Until when are you going to stay like an idiot? "

Izuku finally came to his senses as the Gran Torino's staff hit him. He rubbed his head even though he didn't feel any pain.

" S-sorry... "

Tsukauchi immediately realized, and his surprise eased after seeing Izuku being scolded by Gran Torino. But his curiosity was still high, he couldn't help asking Izuku to confirm what Gran Torino said.

" Hey Izuku, is what Gran Torino just said true? Are you really All Might's son? "

Izuku only nodded weakly in response to Tsukauchi's question. Tsukauchi looked at Izuku, he had a dark expression on his face as if he had swallowed something bitter.

As a policeman, Tsukauchi knew that there was a reason why Izuku put on such a face, and it was not good.

" You once told me that your family abandoned you, is that true? "

" yes that's true "

" What happened? "

Izuku remained silent, he wasn't sure if it was okay to tell Tsusuchi the story. He then looked at Sorahiko, asking if it was alright to tell him.

" It's alright, you can trust Tsukauchi "

After sighing, Izuku began to tell his life story before becoming a Hunter. As he spoke, he showed no emotional changes, while Tsukauchi and Sorahiko kept changing their faces. Anger, disappointment, and disbelief were engraved on their faces.

Izuku had expected such a reaction, but seeing that his prediction was correct, Izuku couldn't help but smile faintly.

Tsukauchi, who heard Izuku's story, couldn't hide his surprise. He couldn't believe that someone who was a symbol of peace would do such a thing to his own child.

" I can't believe the number one hero would do such a thing "

" I knew this would happen since Toshi insisted on marrying that woman, but I didn't expect it to be so bad,

I'm sorry kid, you must have suffered a lot. "

" It's alright, it's all in the past anyway "

Tsukauchi and Sorahiko felt sympathy and admiration for Izuku for having to go through all the troubles.

" but still, knowing how All Might is and hearing what he's done to you feels unbelievable "

" you're right Tsukauchi, being quirkless it's not your fault, if anyone is to blame you can blame your father for passing it on to you "

" Gran Torino-san!? "

Tsukauchi is surprised by Sorahiko suddenly revealing All Might's past.

" Just let it, in the end, this kid needs to know the truth anyway "

Izuku was confused by the change in the atmosphere of their conversation. Looking at Tsukauchi's excessive reaction, it seems that this is something serious.

" Sorry, but what are you guys talking about? "

" Well, that... "

" Listen, kid, your father is a quirkless who inherited someone else's quirk if it weren't for that person's decision he would have remained without quirk until now "

Izuku's eyes widened at what Sorahiko had just said. He was so shocked, his mind went blank in an instant as he heard that his father had no quirk as he is. Everything he believed was reversed with just those words.

For years he believed that it was his destiny that he did not have a quirk, but it turned out that it was because he inherited it from his father.

" I-is that true? "

Tsukauchi and Sorahiko could see the shock on Izuku's face, he was obviously in shock. Sorahiko just sighed and explained it to Izuku. And even after hearing his explanation, Izuku remained silent. He still needed to organize his thoughts and after a few minutes, he finally regained his composure.

" Have you finally calmed down... "

"Yes..."

" Did it surprise you? "

" Yes, it feels like what I have always believed is a lie, but no matter how I think about it, the result is still the same, whether it is my destiny or the inheritance of my parents, it does not change the fact that I am a quirkless. In the end, what I should do has not changed.

but knowing the fact that the No. 1 hero was a quirkless quite surprised me "

" Well... anyone who hears it will be surprised either, that's why this is kept secret, even from his family " (Tsukauchi)

" That's understandable "

" Well enough with that, don't ruin this reunion by talking bad things, why don't we talk about you " (Sorahiko)

" about me? "

" yes, why don't you tell this old man about your life as a Hunter "

" Well... "

Izuku was lost in his memories as he recounted his experience to Sorahiko and Tsukauchi. Izuku was also surprised at how he had gotten to this point. Many things happened, from good to bad, he even almost lost his life.

Sorahiko could only listen carefully, while Tsukauchi had to leave because there was still work.

" I didn't expect you to experience so much "

" I didn't expect it to be like that either "

" Then are you planning to tell your whereabouts to your family? "

Izuku's face instantly darkened as Gran Torino mentioned his family. He remembered the unpleasant times he had to live in that family. Izuku couldn't help but shook his head.

" No, I'm not sure those people will accept me back "

" Are you sure about it? "

" Why not, even my father can't recognize me. "

" Why do you say that? "

" Honestly, I met him by accident a while ago "

" You met him?! "

" yes "

" And he still doesn't recognize you? "

Izuku nodded his head at the answer.

" I have to scold him later "

" I don't think you need to bother doing that, let them realize it for themselves, besides, Gran Torino-san has something I want to ask "

" Huh? What is that? "

" All Might, did something happen to him? The last time I saw her, she didn't look good, especially with her body getting thinner. He continued to hold onto the left side of his body, then I could also feel his strength noticeably becoming weaker than before "

" So, you know... "

Gran Torino was silent for a moment, he considered whether it would be okay for him to tell Izuku about this. From the moment Gran Torino saw Izuku's appearance on TV, he recognized him immediately, and after meeting and speaking with him in person, Gran Torino knew that great things were coming for him. Telling him this meant he might drag Izuku into this long battle.

Moreover, Gran Torino is sure that that person will not stand still with how the world had changed.

" Yes you are right, he was injured in a villain attack about five years ago "

" If it was five years ago, was it an incident with the villain Toxic Chainsaw? "

" You know a lot..."

" Well, I do some researched a bit "

" You're right, the fight itself was never revealed to the media, but after the fight, it left All Might with quite heavy injuries, and the result was as you can see. Right now he can only put his muscular form on hold for only 3 hours, if it exceeds that he will return to his current figure "

" Is it that bad... "

Izuku thought that if All Might was injured, a healer should be able to heal him, but if it was a wound from 5 years ago, he wasn't sure if it would work. He thought of a method, but is it worth it?

All the time he spent in that house was just torture. He had to endure all the pain alone while trying to hide it from the rest of the world. He still couldn't forget the times he had to hide in his room while listening to his family's happy laughter.

Time may have hardened his heart, but the pain left by his family is still there.

Sorahiko noticed the change in Izuku's increasingly cold expression. Remembering the Izuku he had met in the past and Izuku he was now, he knew one thing that didn't change in him, he still cared about people regardless of their good or bad.

" Stop thinking about unnecessary things, let's just say that person gets what he deserves. What's more, he is the No. 1 hero as well as a symbol of peace, he knows what to do. After all, as you said, it was a long time ago "

Izuku couldn't help but smile as Sorahiko comforted him. He decided to put aside unnecessary thoughts as Sorahiko told him.

" You're right, thank you Gran Torino-san "

" More than that, boy, I want to ask you something "

" Yes, what is that? "

" Is your life better now? "

Izuku gasped at Sorahiko's sudden question. He paused for a moment as if pondering the answer, but it wasn't something difficult to answer.

" Well, not all, but I'm satisfied with the way I live now "

" It's good to hear that, to be honest, I want to scold you because you didn't even consider contacting me back then "

" I'm sorry for that "

" But watching you grow up so well until now is enough for me "

" thank you- "

" That's why... "

Izuku's words were cut off by Sorahiko, he suddenly stood up and grinned which made Izuku confused.

" Um... Gran Torino-san? "

"... I will test how much you have grown"

" sorry?... "

" Aren't you a Hunter? fight me, a small fight shouldn't be a problem for you, right? "

" Are you sure about this, wouldn't it be better to do it in a wider area- "

" No need to care about it, why? Are you scared? "

" No, that's... "

Before Izuku had time to respond, Gran Torino charged toward him. Even with Gran Torino's speed and random movements, Izuku can still dodge. Grand Torino smiled as he saw how Izuku reacted to his attack with a calm face.

" I admit you're amazing being able to avoid this, however... "

Gran Torino immediately increased its speed and maneuverability in the air. Izuku was taken aback by the sudden increase in speed, but it was not a speed that Izuku could not handle.

Gran Torino got goosebumps looking at Izuku who was still responding calmly.

' what a monster! '

" I told you to attack me "

Because of the pressure from Gran Torino, Izuku had no other choice but to attack him. As Gran Torino approached him, Izuku lightly twisted his body to avoid his attack.

" Then excuse me "

Izuku whispered to him quietly, he then grabbed the back of Gran Torino's robe and immediately slammed his body on the floor. He tried to control his strength so that he wouldn't do too much damage, but he still made cracks in the floor.

Izuku then helped Gran Torino to get up while cleaning his clothes.

" You're amazing for making me fight seriously "

" If I can't handle this much, I have to give up my title as an S-Rank Hunter "

" Are you acting arrogant now? "

"That's not true..."

" Well, forget it, at least I already know how strong you are "

" Is that so? "

" By the way, can you help me clean up this mess "
