Toya takes Izuku to a quiet alley near the stadium. Toya released his grip on Izuku and took a few steps back. As Toya's grip was released, the killing intent that Izuku was holding suddenly emerged.

His body was enveloped in cold purple mana that was filled with killing intent. Red blood slowly dripped from Izuku's tightly clenched fists. His fist hit the ground creating a large crack there.

Toya who saw this, became a bit worried. He had never seen Izuku this angry since the High Org incident that temporarily paralyzed Ichirou.

" h-hey, Izuku calm down a bit "

It seemed the words didn't reach Izuku as his killing intent didn't die in the slightest. Currently, Toya is worried that if Izuku's anger continues there will be a disaster in the tournament.

Toya then grabbed Izuku's shoulder and shook his body quite strongly.

" HEY! GET HOLD OF YOURSELF! "

Slowly the killing aura that enveloped Izuku slowly subsided. His rough breathing also gradually calmed down.

" you calm yet? "

" ...A little "

Izuku started to stand up as his condition stabilized a bit. Toya, who saw this, couldn't help but feel both sympathy and anger towards the Izuku's family. His sympathies for them made monsters like his enemies and those who deserted him.

" Let's go back before everyone looks for us "

" Sure... "

Izuku and Toya return to the stadium and they can see that Ichirou is already there, looking for them. As soon as he saw them, he immediately approached them.

" Where have you been, the event is about to start and you are going somewhere as you please like that. "

" sorry about that, we have some things to take care of " (Toya)

Ichirou narrowed his eyes when it was Toya who answered instead of Izuku, he then looked at Izuku who had been silent since earlier. It was quite strange to see him silent like that, but due to the circumstances, he had no other choice but to let it slide and rushed them to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, people had already gathered. Those in the room turned their gazes on Izuku's group. Competition could be seen in their eyes, especially the hero bunny that was there. She stared at their group as if finding some interesting prey.

Mirko who had heard some rumors regarding Hunters couldn't help but be curious about them, especially the Dawn guild which was at the top of the rankings. She was curious how strong the person who was called the Guild Master and the Vice Guild Master who was often seen in the news. And after seeing them in person, her expectations were not wrong.

' They are all strong, especially those two kids '

Her gaze fell on the two people standing behind Ichirou. Despite the dark expressions they made from the moment they entered the room, the auras they gave off were quite extraordinary. Especially the Vice Guild Master, he had a thin presence with footsteps so light that one wouldn't notice him if they didn't see him.

Even Edgeshot who is also a hero who specializes in infiltration and sneaking is surprised by how thin a presence Izuku has.

Izuku's group entered the room and quickly headed to their seats. But it seemed they weren't the last to arrive, the door opened again and someone walked in. A large figure whose body was covered in flames walked into the room.

" sorry for being late "

Endeavor walked in giving off intimidation with just his gaze. The others also saw it, but no one gave any significant reaction. If there was someone from Hunter's side, one of them looking at him with killing intent in his eyes.

Toya glared as soon as he saw that person. A bit of killing intent leaked from him, but was restrained by Izuku's hand gripping his shoulder, as if telling him to stay calm.

Some of Endevor's acquaintances greeted him lightly, especially Hawks.

" Yo, Endeavor-san, you're a bit late "

" Hawks... "

After greeting his fellow heroes, Endeavor felt the icy gazes that had been staring at him since just now. He then saw the owner's gaze and was surprised he saw his face.

White hair with the same color and eye gaze as him. The young face he remembered back then had now grown into an adult. A young man with cold eyes and a crooked smile on his face.

Endeavor was frozen, for a moment he forgot how to breathe when he saw the face of his son who he thought was dead in front of him.

Toya who saw this could not hide his smile. Unlike a person, Endeavor recognized his son's face right away, even though his son should have been dead long ago.

" T-Toya "

Endeavor said the name in a weak tone. He still couldn't believe his dead son was in front of him and still alive. Not only that, but his son was also in front of him as a Hunter.

While Endeavor was still lost in thought, a voice sounded in his mind.

'Long time no see, father '

Surprised by the voice that suddenly appeared in his head, Endeavor glanced at Toya with a surprised face. He never recalled his son having telepathic abilities apart from his fire quirk.

' no need to be surprised like that, there are still many surprises that you will see later.

I look forward to when I destroy you in the arena, Endeavor... '

Hearing Toya's declaration of war, Endeavor couldn't help but widen his eyes. The first thing his son said after a long absence was a declaration of war.

Hawks who saw Endeavor was silent did not move, he approached him.

" Endeavour-san, are you alright? "

Endeavor came to his senses as he heard Hawks' voice calling him.

" ah, yeah "

He realized that Endeavor was staring at a certain person. Following his gaze, Hawks glanced at the white-haired man that look slightly older than himself and was staring at Endeavor with a distorted smile on his face.

Hawks tried to remember any pertinent information he had about that person. If he recalled correctly, the man's name was Todoroki Toya and he was a member of the Dawn Guild and had recently become an S-ranked person.

' That guy has the same name as Endeavor.

maybe... '

Hawks' thoughts were interrupted as the door opened again and several men in suits entered the room. In the front row was a beige-haired man who had tired eyes and slightly messy hair. The man stepped forward and stood at the podium in the room followed by the rest of them who standing behind him.

" Well then, we can begin... before that, my name was Mera Yokumiru of the Heroic Public Safety Commission...nice to meet you all...

ah... I'm tired, I really want to sleep "

People were amazed and amazed at Mera who didn't hide his grievances. But regardless he continued what he said with his nearly collapsing condition like that.

" For the Heroes and Hunters who have come, we thank you for coming. E... let me explain the course of events. Each Hero and Hunter will be drawn which will decide who will fight who and also the battle arena. The draw will be made while in the arena, if you have any questions please ask now "

Regardless of how Mera gave his explanation, everyone was quite satisfied with his explanation being to the point. Not long after, the participants were herded into the arena.

Meanwhile, cheers rang out from the direction of the arena. It seemed that when the participants received the briefing, the event had already opened. The master of ceremonies had opened the program beforehand and prepared to call out the names of the participants.

" Alright Everyone, I will start calling the participants who will be fighting today... "

After hearing what the host said, Mera who was guiding the participants turned back to them.

" please enter according to the name called.. "

" Now Let's Welcome, from the Hunter's side, the Arashi Guild Master, the Wind Sorcerer Tatsumi Fujishima... "

The crowd started cheering again when the first name was called. Tatsumi also stepped forward towards the arena while waving his hand at the audience.

" Next, Our Beautiful Archer Hunter and Guild Master of the Moonlight Guild, Yumiko Aoi "

Just like Tatsumi, Yumiko also walked towards the arena but with a straight face as if she wasn't interested, ignoring the shouts of the men in the audience.

" Next, the Guild Master of the Number 1 Guild in all of Japan Dawn Guild, Ichirou Hiroto "

Ichirou walked into the arena with a warm smile on his face, hiding his tension.

" Next, the youngest participant in this competition, who's also the Vice Guild Master of the Dawn Guild, Izuku... "

The atmosphere of the stadium changed as soon as Izuku entered the arena. Some people started whispering as soon as they saw a teenager walking into the arena. Even though Izuku was taller than most of his age, he looked nothing more than a kid who had just graduated from high school.

Even so, there were some sounds of screaming young girls screaming his name. Izuku ignored it and kept walking and stood next to Ichirou.

Because the atmosphere was a little awkward, the host continued to call the next participant.

" u-um... N-Next, the last participant from Hunter's side, the one who recently obtained an S-Rank who was also part of the Number 1 guild, Todoroki Toya..."

Just like when Izuku walked in, several people whispered when they heard Todoroki's name being called. The onlookers stared at the white-haired youth who walked in feeling a bit horrified. How could it not be when Toya walked in without hiding his killing intent.

He then stood beside Izuku, Izuku who had felt the murderous aura from his friend earlier whispered to Toya.

' at least lower your killing intent, you made the temperature drop drastically '

' be quiet, '

While the two of them were whispering, the host continued the program by calling the other side. One by one the names of the Heroes were called out in order of their rank. Starting from the Rabbit Hero: Mirko, Ninja Hero: Edgeshot, Wing Hero: Hawks, and the No. 2 Fire Hero: Endeavor.

When their names were called, their fans immediately gave support and cheers to their favorite Heroes. But the excitement was incomparable when the name of Hero Number 1 who was also the Symbol of Peace was mentioned.

" Now... Let's Welcome, the Symbol of Peace that we are all proud of... ALL MIGHT!... "

" WHOA!... ALL MIGHT "

The crowd immediately became excited as soon as All Might entered the arena with his signature smile and laugh.

" HAHAHA... Thank you for the greeting "

" Now... It's Time to pull the Lottery "

Behind the host was a large screen displaying a blank list. Then in front of her, there are two boxes containing numbers that will determine each opponent.

" Both sides please come forward and draw lots respectively, the numbers listed will be the order of the matches... "

Following what the presenter said, each participant took the number that was in the box. So the sequence that appears is as follows.

EdgeShot VS Tatsumi Fujishima

Mirko VS Yumiko Aoi

Hawks VS Ichirou Hiroto

Endeavor VS Todoroki Toya

And lastly...

All Might VS Izuku

Others might think that the two of them were having bad luck having to face hero number 1 and number 2. But this situation was exactly what they expected. As if fate had played a trick on them, the two boys had to go against their father.

Staring at the list displayed on the screen, killing intent radiated from their eyes along with a cold gleam emanating from their eyes. The two of them had made up their minds, that to make the person who made them suffer to pay for what they had done.
