After finishing his reunion with Gran Torino, Izuku was about to go home. When he walked out of Gran Torino's house, the sky was already yellowed. Although Gran Torino told him to take a taxi, he chose to walk. Recalling his experience on the first ride, he didn't want what happened last time to happen again.

" then Gran Torino-san I'm leaving first "

" Yes, be sure to visit me sometime "

" Of course "

" Also... one more thing "

" Yes? "

" Today's conversation, can you keep it secret? "

" Yes, I understand, I will keep this conversation to death "

" Don't say such terrible things "

" haha... "

" It seems that you did intend to do it, well whatever, be careful on the way back "

" Yes "

Gran Torino watched Izuku's figure drift further and further away. He stared at his back while he was lost in thought. Compared with the little boy Sorahiko knew in the past, Izuku's figure is now completely different.

The aura emitted by Izuku even matched the aura of a veteran. Movements, postures, and attitudes reflect a warrior. The shy boy has grown into a warrior.

Seeing Izuku's growth made Sorahiko proud of him. He was able to overcome his obstacles and climb to the highest place.

Sorahiko kept watching Izuku until his figure disappeared. As his figure disappeared, he then went back inside with a smile on his face.

Leaving Sorahiko alone, Izuku walked into the station at a slow pace. He thought of his meeting with Gran Torino today.

Today he just learned a new fact that surprised him. His father's past is never revealed no matter how much he searches.

' All Might was a quirkless, just thinking about it's hard to believe '

Izuku quickly put the thought out of his mind and turned to the topic that had been causing him a headache these days.

He had already made plans regarding the contract proposed by Matsumoto before he went to see Sorahiko. He spent the whole night putting it together.

Izuku was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the crowd in front of him. He almost collided with the person in front of him but managed to stop in a split second. Curious, Izuku tried to look around while listening to the conversations of the people gathered there.

The people gathered around seemed to be watching something.

" Hey, what happened? "

" I heard that there is an open gate nearby. "

" Have any Hunters been there? "

Izuku, who had quietly heard their conversation from behind, was quite surprised to hear that a gate had appeared.

Izuku immediately disseminate his mana trying to detect where the gate was, and when he found it he immediately disappeared from his place and headed straight for the gate's location.

It didn't take long for him to get there, and by the time he got there, there were already many people gathered there. Several Heroes and police have been standing guard in the area around the gate to prevent citizens from approaching the gate. Two agents were also already there, standing guard with measuring devices in their hands.

Izuku then walks over but a hero immediately confronts him.

" Wait kid, you can't get close to this place "

He stared at the hero who stopped him, he could hear people whispering behind him. He couldn't help but sigh because he thought things would get so noisy from now on.

Izuku then takes out his Hunter's license and shows it to the hero, which makes him widen his eyes. The shocking hero accidentally mentioned it out loud which attracted everyone's attention to them.

" S, S-rank?! "

The crowd immediately turned their eyes to Izuku. It didn't take long for a commotion to break out in the crowd. They were all curious about the figure of the S-rank that appeared in front of the gate.

Izuku just sighed as the commotion grew bigger, he then took off his jacket hood to reveal his face. People who recognized him immediately said his name as soon as they saw it.

" Isn't that the new S-Rank Hunter? "

" right, right, that's the newest S-rank Hunter, Izuku "

" Wow, is there really an S-rank Huter coming? "

Hearing the commotion, the agents on duty immediately approached Izuku, who was still being held by the hero. They immediately recognized Izuku's face and immediately greeted him.

" Hunter Izuku, what are you doing here? "

" I happened to be nearby and since I heard a gate appeared here so I came "

" is that so... "

"Are there already Hunters assigned here? "

" Not yet, we are here to examine the gate "

" I see, then can I clean it up? "

" Eh? You will do it yourself, but the procedures... "

" It's alright, Sugimoto-san said I can take care of it "

" If it's Sugimoto, then... "

As they were talking, one of the agents' phones rang and he answered immediately. After a while, the agent looked at Izuku and his partner.

" what is it? "

" The Chief Inspector just called "

" What did he say? "

" he said to let Hunter Izuku handle this dungeon "

"Huh? The Chief said so "

" Yes "

The two looked at Izuku with a puzzled looks while Izuku could only smile at them.

" Can I go in now? "

"Ah!, y-yes of course!"

" thank you "

Izuku then bypassed them and walked towards the gate. Not long after he entered, the color of the gate start to change to red color. The civilians who witnessed the change shouted in surprise.

" T-THE GATE!..."

All attention immediately returned to the gate. The agent of the Association also turned his gaze to the gate and was shocked by the changes in the gate.

" RED GATE?! ... "

The panicked agent made those who were watching confused and uneasy. The reporters in the curious place tried to find out by questioning the agents, but when they got the answer, they were also taken aback.

While a commotion was brewing outside, Izuku who was inside the dungeon frowned as he felt the Deja vu.

' Why does this feel like a red gate? the way out is also gone '

Izuku looked around trying to make sure he was feeling wrong, but all he saw was a scene of the forest and rainwater constantly raining down on him.

" Well... whatever it is, all I have to do was clear it up... Moreover, this gate appeared at the right time "

Izuku grinned unconsciously as enemies began to spring up around him. He then summoned all of his shadow soldiers. Izuku's shadow spread out and one by one his troops rose to hold their weapons.

" let's start the hunt "

It took several hours for Izuku to clear the dungeon. He stood on the body of the boss monster, his clothes were torn in several places and stained with blood and mud. Although his appearance was messy, his body was not injured in the slightest.

Izuku then cleared the excess blood from his dagger as he walked to his soldiers. It wasn't long before Beru appeared behind him with a blood-stained body. Judging from his appearance, it seems that Beru has worked hard to kill the monsters around here.

" My liege, I have done the order you gave me. "

Not only Beru, but the other Izuku soldiers also appeared one by one with almost the same appearance, although not as bad as Beru.

" I think everything is settled, let's go. "

"yes, my liege "

After gathering all his shadow soldiers back into his shadow, Izuku then walked towards the open exit after he finished killing the boss.

As he came out, the crowd was even more crowded than before. People gathered around to see the rare red gate. And thanks to that the guard around became tighter.

Izuku looked around to find the bureau agent who was supposed to be near the gate but instead, he found a familiar face that he had just met this morning.

" Gran Torino-san? what are you doing here? "

Gran Torino, who saw Izuku, then approached him.

" That's my words, why are you here? Shouldn't you go home? "

" yes, I was on my way home, and I happened to feel a dungeon appear so I came here "

" So you get in the gate "

" I'm a Hunter, that's my job "

" Well whatever it's a good thing you're safe, but what's wrong with your clothes? "

" Oh this, it's because of the fight with the dungeon boss "

" dungeon boss? "

While they were still talking, one of the agents approached them.

" Hunter Izuku "

Both Izuku and Gran Torino turned to look at the agents approaching them. The agent looked at them with a curious look, especially at Gran Torino who was talking to Izuku.

" I'm sorry, Hunter Izuku, but who is he? "

" he is my acquaintance "

The agent could only nod and didn't ask any further questions since the other person was an S-rank hunter. The agent immediately handed Izuku the inspection form, and after finishing filling it out, Izuku took the bag filled with mana stones from his inventory and handed it to the agent.

The agent only smiled as he received the bag before he bowed and left. But that didn't apply to Gran Torino, he was confused about how Izuku could just get things out of thin air.

Although Izuku had told him about Hunter's abilities, it was still unbelievable even after seeing it himself. Apart from knowing that Izuku has no quirk, it was quite surprising to him.

Feeling the gaze from his back, Izuku turned around and saw Gran Torino looking at him with puzzled eyes.

" Is there anything you are curious about? "

" yes, is it Hunter's ability? "

" it is "

" Is it common for hunters? "

" Well not really, few can use this skill, but mana control skill is the most common skill for Hunters "

" I see, then what are you going to do now "

" Going home I think, since my clothes are quite messy, I have to change before people think I'm a beggar "

" Honestly you look like one "

" I can't deny it "

Izuku and Gran Torino exchanged conversations before he went home. Due to the crowded location of the gate, Izuku had to sneak out just to get to the nearest train station.

It takes about 15 minutes to get to the dorm after getting off the train. Not long after he finished taking a shower, he took out his phone and called someone. It took a while before the person answered his call.

" Hello Izuku "

" Hello Ichirou-san, I'm sorry I called you suddenly "

" That's fine, so what's wrong? "

" I have something to discuss with you, if you are not busy, can we meet? "

" Alright, when? "

That night Izuku and Ichirou decided to meet at a café near the dormitory where Izuku lived. Izuku arrived first and 10 minutes later Icirou arrived.

Ichirou walked towards Izuku as soon as he saw him since there were almost no people in the café that day. Izuku then greeted him as he saw him.

" Ichirou-san "

" Izuku, so you're already here "

The two of them then sat down and after telling the waiters their order, they struck up their conversation.

" So, what do you want to talk about? "

" About that, we still have to wait for one person "

It didn't take long for the cafe door to open and someone wearing a suit entered and walked toward them.

Izuku then greeted him as well as Ichirou, although it was a bit late as he was still processing the reason behind this man's appearance.

" Sugimoto-san "

" Izuku, Ichirou-san "

" Sugimoto-san did you bring what I asked for "

" yes, I brought it "

"What exactly are you two talking about?"

" Ah about that... " (Ichirou)

Izuku then began to tell the reason for calling him. He began by telling him about his conversation with the chairman and went ahead with his plans for this offer.

" So... You're telling me that the chairman insists on offering you the guild master position regardless of your decision, and you want me to take the position in your stead?

Is that why Sugimoto-san is here? "

" yes... it's more or less like that...

I know this might be a bit over the top but it's the only solution I can think of. I might be able to take up the chairman's offer myself, but if I did, it would send huge ripples to the association's reputation for allowing a teenage boy to set up a Hunter agency, regardless of how the government has legislated about age limits. "

" I understand, but why me? "

"You're the only person I can think of. I don't know other S-Rank Hunters aside from you and Sugimoto-san. Sugimoto-san is also an agent of the association so he is off the list. Besides that, I will be the one who deals with internal affairs "

" So I'm basically the guild master just in name while you handle everything "

" Well actually you also have to deal with public matters, but yes "

Ichirou was silent for a moment, thinking about Izuku's offer. He then looked at the boy who was nervously waiting for his answer. She just smiled at him as she saw the normal boy side of Izuku.

" Okay, I'll do it "

" Really? "

" Yes, besides, I also owe you a favor "

" Thank you Ichirou-san, thank you... "

Izuku kept his head down, showing his gratitude to Ichirou. Ichirou couldn't help but smile while watching Izuku.

Although Sugimoto was silent as he saw Izuku and Ichiro's interaction, he still paid attention to their conversation.

" Everything is settled, I have prepared the contract as you requested, it may take some adjustments but we will work on it later " (Sugimoto)

" About that, I have already made a revised version, you can check it out and maybe fix some parts " (Izuku)

" You did?! let me see "

Izuku handed the document he brought to Sugimoto, and after reading it he nodded his head.

" There is no problem with the contract, it seems that you are working hard for it "

" Yes, sort of... "

" Okay, then shall we decide on a name for your guild? "

" That's right, why don't you decide on the name of the guild " (Ichirou)

" Is it all right? " (Izuku)

"Why not? Because it is your idea" (Sugimoto)

Izuku was silent as he thought of what name would be suitable for his guild. He was thinking about his journey from the moment he received the awakening to the point he become an S-rank. A lot of things have happened but the starting point remains the same for him and all the Hunters.

" Dawn, what about Dawn? "

" Dawn means the beginning, not bad... " (Sugimoto)

" I also think it's a good name too, but why Dawn? " (Ichirou)

" I'm just thinking about our starting line "

" ours? you mean Hunter, right? " (Sugimoto)

" Yes, you're right. I'm thinking about when a Hunter receives awakened, it's both a point as well as a test that could change our lives. "

Both Ichirou and Sugimoto fell silent as they longed for the memories of when they awakened, which cannot be said to be a good memory since it almost took their lives.

" yes you are right " (Sugimoto)

" I almost lost my life back then " (Ichirou)

" That's why I chose that name, meaning the beginning of our lives "

Hearing the meaning of the name Izuku chose and the reason for choosing that name made Sugimoto and Ichirou smile. Sugimoto raised his half-empty cup into the air.

" Then shall we celebrate the unofficial establishment of the Dawn Guild? "

Realizing Sugimoto's intentions, Izuku and Ichirou also raised their glasses following what Sugimoto did.

" Sure, please cooperate in the future Ichirou-san, Sugimoto-san " (Izuku)

" of course "

Clink~

That night, the end of their conversation was the starting point for the formation of the Guild that would later become the No.1 Guild in Japan, the guild whose name later will be heard even throughout the world.
