After finishing the match against his father, Izuku returned to the guild office and reserved three A-rank dungeons for himself. Although his sudden appearance shocked the staff workers, the guild workers of Dawn remained professional and processed the vice guild master's orders well.

Currently accompanied by his best friend, Izuku is completing his attack in the final dungeon. Armed with his abilities and Toya's abilities, the two were able to complete three high-ranking dungeons in just one day.

Izuku's soldiers are carrying out a unilateral monster massacre, while Izuku and Toya watch from the side while tracking down the dungeon boss's whereabouts. Since he obtained Izuku's 'Black Heart', it has been like his mana has no end.

It is evident how he has not taken any mana recovery potions since his fight with All Might. No matter how many times his army was destroyed, they always rose again. In addition, Izuku has not rested since earlier, making Toya curious that he is friends with humans or monsters after seeing Izuku's unlimited stamina and mana.

It didn't take them long to find the dungeon boss, as their detection ability was the highest among Hunters. They quickly headed to the boss's room on a ride called Kaisel, and as soon as they arrived, they took out the boss right away.

Although Izuku ordered this dungeon to calm himself down(?), he still carried out Hunter's work protocols and left most of the work to his soldiers.

After finishing killing the boss and collecting the mana stone from the monster's body, Izuku and Toya prepare to return to the guild office. By the time they left, it was already past midnight, and only a few agents remained on guard outside the gate.

" Don't you think it's too late to meet Ichirou-san now? "

" Yes, you are right, I will see him tomorrow. "

" Tomorrow? it's already tomorrow "

" I know, I thought I should go home after this, I was quite tired after a full day of fighting "

" You say that but you don't look tired at all "

" I'm talking about mental, not physical. "

" Well, whatever, see you tomorrow "

" Sure, see you "

The next morning, Izuku went straight to the office to fulfill Ichirou's call. As soon as he arrived, he could already sense Ichirou's existence before he even reached his door.

Izuku then knocked on the office door and after hearing an answer from inside, he walked in. He then looked at Ichirou sitting at his desk while handling some paperwork he hadn't finished before.

If you look at the aura emitted by Ichirou, he looks calm, but Izuku knows that it is only the outside.

" sit "

Izuku quickly did what Ichirou said and immediately sat down. No matter how strong he was, he was still afraid of Ichirou's anger.

In addition, the silence between them made him uncomfortable. There is only the sound of the pen scratching the paper and the sound of the clock adding to Izuku's tension. Cold sweat kept wetting his back because of the tension.

After finishing his paperwork, Ichirou put down his pen, which made Izuku flinch. He then got up from his seat and sat down in front of Izuku. He looked at the child sitting tensely in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

" Izuku "

" Yes. "

Izuku answered him immediately.

" Do you know why I'm looking for you? "

Izuku briefly avoided his gaze, trying to find an excuse to avoid the question.

" Stop looking for excuses and look at me properly "

Izuku couldn't help but laugh weakly when he heard Ichirou's words, which made him couldn't help but sigh once again.

" What exactly happened to you? At that time you were not like your usual self. What is your reason for you to get that angry? "

" so you realized it "

" There's no way I'm unaware as you unleashed your bloodthirsty-filled mana throughout the arena. "

Izuku could only laugh weakly again, he again avoided Ichirou's gaze.

" It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me, at least I know you're fine now "

The way Ichirou looked at it was obvious that there was worry in his eyes. It is very different from his former family who can only look at him with contempt and hatred. This made Izuku bitter thinking about this treatment gap. Rather than his family, Ichirou is hundreds of times- no, thousands of times better than them. Ichirou's figure is like a father figure to him.

A feeling of guilt immediately hit him, he felt bad for hiding the fact of his birth to the person he considered his father. So Izuku is determined that there are no more secrets.

" No, I'll tell you "

Finished saying that, Izuku began to tell him about his family background that he had been hiding. Starting from the fact that he is the son of hero number 1 and how he is treated in his family.

While listening to Izuku's story, Ichirou couldn't hide his surprise. He kept putting on a serious expression as well as dumbfounded.

He didn't believe that his apprentice was the son of hero No. 1 all-time alone. He even stopped the story in the middle because he was too surprised by the fact that he had just heard it.

" Wait, wait, wait... So you mean all this time you were All Might's son and you were also tortured by your family?! "

" that word might be a bit too much, but broadly speaking, then yes "

For a moment Ichirou groaned while holding his head, and tried to protest the information he had just received. He felt a reality he knew collapse that revealed a dark history he shouldn't have known.

' Ah, damn it, I didn't expect Izuku's past to be this complicated, and now I feel bad for him for thinking he's upset just for losing the competition '

Ichirou does think that Izuku didn't show up at the closing ceremony because he was upset about his loss. Of course, he immediately dismissed the thought of knowing the child's personality. But that didn't change the fact that he had thought about it. On top of that, he also remembered his remark to Izuku the other day alluding to his sour complexion and took it as feeling nervous and even teased him.

" Izuku, I'm sorry for what I said to you that day, and sorry for doubting you "

" It's fine, everyone would think the same if they were in your situation "

Ichirou then smiled as Izuku easily accepted his apology. He knew the kindness of the child, unlike his family who only saw it based on one fact.

" thank you for that, I understand your situation and I also understand your reasons for doing that, but, I still have to punish you for indiscriminately attacking the three gates that should have been scheduled "

Even though Izuku's story invites the sympathy of anyone who hears it, apparently that doesn't apply to the Guild master. It seemed Izuku's strategy of avoiding punishment with sympathy had failed.

Izuku then averted his eyes and laughed awkwardly as his plan was discovered. He then looked back at Ichirou, resolving his heart to accept whatever punishment he was given.

" Well, as your punishment is...

to give the opening speech at my wedding "

For a moment Izuku doubted his ears. He looked at Ichirou with confused eyes, and Ichirou just smiled back.

" wedding? did I hear that right? "

" Yep, you heard right, I'm getting married soon. "

Izuku couldn't help but cover his mouth in shock. He was torn between happiness and surprise. He then looked again at Ichirou, who still had a happy smile.

" Then what could be the bride..."

" Yes, I already proposed to Kiyoko the other day. "

Hearing this, Izuku violently calmed himself down. He looked back at Ichirou after he calmed down a bit.

Izuku and a few of their comrades had thought this would happen, but the sudden statement still took him by surprise. For some reason he felt unfair, it felt like his tactics were turning against him.

" First I congratulate you on your wedding, but shouldn't the one giving the speech be the family? "

" yes you are right, but as you know none of us have family, I am an orphan and Kiyoko only has a grandma who is old and she can't stand up too long "

For a moment Izuku was confused as to whether this could be classified as a punishment or even as an honor for him. He doubted whether he deserved this.

" Well, since you must be thinking the other thing, I will tell you this, you are more than just a comrade for us, you are Izuku and everyone in Dawn is family, do you remember that "

Hearing this, Izuku felt stupid to himself. How could he forget that, even though he said Dawn was his family. Looks like the reunion with his family still bothers him a bit in some way.

" Fine, then, I'll gladly accept this punishment(?) "

" That's what I want to hear from you "

Several days passed after Ichirou and Izuku's meeting. Ichirou has also shared the happy news regarding his marriage with his co-workers, which of course was greeted with cheers and congratulations for him and Kiyoko.

Leaving aside the good news about the two people, one person seemed to be suffering from having to work in an office to deal with the chaos it caused.

Izuku was having a headache from the number of requests for interviews. Currently, the media pages were filled with talk about the competition between Hunters and Heroes that was held recently.

Discussion on this topic is always hot in the media which is always a trend on the internet. Especially assuming Izuku's absence during the closing ceremony. This took a toll on Izuku's reputation, but he didn't care about that.

For Izuku, people are free to think about themselves, but it's also his right to ignore or care about what they say. He didn't really care what others said to him, but he still had to take care of this since the guild's reputation was also at stake here.

' ah... I really don't want to appear in front of the media '

Izuku frustratedly ruffled his already messy black hair. The guild master had also decided to drop his hands on this matter. But only by complaining that the problem would not be solved, he slowly began to plan a press conference to solve this problem.

The day after, Izuku held a press conference in front of the guild office, and he explained the reason for his absence at the closing ceremony by saying that he was badly injured after fighting hero No. 1.

Some journalists believed him, but of course, some thought it was just an excuse to cover up his weakness because he lost to All Might. Izuku hardly cared about people's reactions, but even so, he did well anyway. He gave an answer that would not be exaggerated and would not bring down his guild's reputation as guild no. 1 in Japan.

Even so, people's attention did not get distracted from the match. The spectators were very impressed with how the participants struggled. Everyone was watching the match and there wasn't a single Japanese who didn't know, yes everyone, even those who were in the dark though.

Somewhere unknown, a man with many medical aids attached to his body was staring at the monitor screen in front of him. The man was watching the footage of the last match between All Might and a young Hunter named Izuku with a big smile on his face.

Instead of being amazed by All Might's victory, which many people are always proud of, he is more amazed by the ability of the child who is his opponent. His figure of being able to control the black army that emitted a threatening aura perfectly matched the image of a demon king in his image.

' Well, well, All Might, you have an interesting little opponent '

As the man watched, another man wearing a white robe walked up to him from behind. The man in the robe was also watching the same screen showing All Might's victory across Japan.

" Until when do you want to watch the tape? "

" I can't help but be amazed after seeing the abilities of these Hunters, after all, don't you think their abilities might be useful for our project "

" Well I have to admit the abilities of awakened people do interest me, I might do a bit of research on that though. "

" by the way doctor, is 'that' already done? "

" Well, just a little more adjustment and he will be done "

" I see, then should I tell the boy to start the preparations "

" if that's what you want "

A smile returned to the man's face as he recalled his only student's face which was filled with hatred. Also, another smile forms as he looks back at the screen where he stopped him just as Izuku was about to launch a potentially lethal attack on All Might.

' If I'm not mistaken that kid's name is Izuku isn't he, I think some interesting things will happen in the future. '
