You might not believe it, but I have been writing a lot, so much that, a few days ago, I told myself, "Great! Chapter 10 is done... now I should probably publish chapter 9... oh, I haven't posted anything since chapter 5?" And that's why the story went on hold for so long.
Moving on to the review corner.

Yeah going by his power set one thing of note would be someone like Monoma's reaction to Izuku. Being at the school he was going to be a type of background character that upstages the main characters. And here comes someone who can do his entire copying mechanic but better. And that's simply a side perk to his real power.
As far as the whole All For One encouragement involving being the best hero. Overall the general point of pride would be someone with his same power proving their superiority over everyone else. The intimidation aspect meaning people would be scared to even attempt to face him. Canon All For One basically had a whole schtick of being like a demon lord. Izuku in his goal would pretty much be one himself. One man's hero is another's villain. To the villain's Izuku would be an equivalent to a Demon Lord with his ability to "steal" their powers. Of course Izuku would also be seen as a Demon Lord by some heroes and citizens as well simply because the potential of what he can do. After all there's basically a poll that's labeled heroes that look most like a villain which Gang Orca was high on. Ignore any looks to his outfit his quirk potential alone would have him considered on the list.
I hate three things about people giving Izuku AFO:
-They give him 38 different quirks and find a legal, kinda sketchy way to justify that he just got them. Or just prentend that All for One gave them away / forced him to take them / experimented on his son (what the hell people).
-They make him use One for All constantly instead of All for One, so it becomes useless.
-They make him use only one quirk that is either: FIREEEEEEEE / Air thingy / Super telekinesis.
I have been trying to find the right balance for some time, and I kept going back to making All for One more versatile (assuming that being able to fuse and unfuse quirks at will isn't already strong). It's more interesting to have Izuku constantly improvising with what's available around him without making the other characters look weak. Well, it does make Monoma's quirk look useless, but consider this: Izuku cannot handle mutation quirks, neither can All for One. Though I do believe Monoma could since he tries to copy Eri's quirk and gains her horn.

I like how you did All Mighr reaction to Nezu news bomb he unleashed on him about Izuku. It feels like how I would imagine cannon All Might to react to in this scenario. But still I hope Nezu punishes him for being a dick to Izuku during the interview. I mean that is Nezu school so All Might has no right to complain about the quirkless applicant rule Nezu put in. Especially since he owes them for letting them teach at UA to find a successor.
As for the exam, I hope he does not befriend Ida immediately like in cannon. The engine legged ass-hole in my opinion does not deserve respect for his bull crap, especially after he befriends Izuku and still gives him shit for getting into an after hours fight with Bakugo like in cannon. Considering he attempted to murder if not at least beat Stain within an inch of his life back in hosu he has no right to complain to Bakugo from that point on about his language or actions.
A shocker that might surprise you, but Ida is actually my most hated character in MHA with Bakugo taking second.
Sorry for my Ida rant. But yeah overall I like Bezu approach as it reminds me of Garp from One Piece with Ace. They both agree that unless smeone actually commits a crime you should not punish them just cause you fear they will. But I can't help but ask you this question.
Will Nezu tell Aizawa or the other team hers about Izuku quirk?
All Might won't be a total idiot, that's not the point, I'm just bashing him a bit to setup stuff for later. As for Nezu I'm trying to involve them into the plot but to not make them the all powerful director that they are always pictured as in other fictions. The original story barely gives any information about the other classes, especially the second and third years. People should keep in mind that U.A. IS technically a military schoold, people are being trained to use their quirks in a safe and responsible way in public, that's the whole point of the heroic classes of U.A. ... somehow general, support and economical classes exist too. As for Aizawa, I see him as that one teacher who really just wishes to prepare his students to face the world as heroes so they do not end up like Oboro did, and he is willing to go as far as to discourage them from being heroes if they don't have the right mentality for the job.
After the exam, Ochaco had to go through the infirmary for a checkup. Fortunately, she wasn't injured, as she had been diagnosed earlier, and she left with a bunch of candies as a bonus. Most of the other examinees had already left the school grounds, leaving behind an awkward silence.
The gate was in sight, and Izuku didn't want this day to end. "Do you need help getting back home? It's not even late, so I can take a detour if you... if you feel that you need to—"
"Oh, n-no, it's fine. I don't feel anything anymore. I can go back on my own. Plus, if my friend saw someone escorting me, they might get jealous."
Izuku, as clueless as he was, clearly misunderstood. His eyes widened, and his smile dropped a bit. "Uh?"
Ochaco realized Izuku was making wrong assumptions, and it was her fault. She quickly corrected her previous statement, waving her hands left and right in front of her. "I-I meant girlfriend. We rent the same apartment. She is really nice, but she can act like a yandere from time to time."
This eased Izuku's discomfort, but now the young man was blushing red. "Oh, so-sorry. I-I didn't mean to— it's-it's fine, really. I don't care if you, um... w-well—"
Ochaco trembled out of shame and awkwardness. "I meant to say she is my girlfriend, fe-female friend."
The two looked away from each other, not intending to end up in this situation. "You- .. You think you did well during the exam?" Izuku broke the silence.
"I think I got about thirty villain points. These robots weren't as sturdy as I expected. Sending them levitating for a good crash afterward was enough to disable them."
Izuku returned home and gave his mother a summary of how the entrance exam went down. The written part had been enjoyable, but the interview was terrible. He hesitated to mention All Might; he hadn't said anything about his first encounter with the hero all these months ago. But did he really have a choice now? He had to get it out of his system.
He spoke about the sludge villain, All Might's intervention, and finally, the roof. "And that's why I had the worst possible interview for about five minutes with the Symbol of Peace... sorry for not telling you earlier." He took a deep breath. "I should not care about what he says, but it hurts a lot. I'm not looking up to him anymore."
The next day, Izuku went to All for One's basement, entering without knocking as he always did. This time, however, All for One wasn't alone. The villain sat at a table with an old, short man wearing a white blouse—a doctor, as far as Izuku could tell. The atmosphere in the room was tense, and Izuku could sense an unspoken tension.
"H-Hello, Sensei, am I interrupting something?" Izuku asked carefully. The doctor seemed familiar; Izuku was sure he had seen him somewhere. Their disturbed expressions hinted at recognition, more scarred than surprised.
"Ah! If it isn't Deku. I was about to lose patience. I apologize, Doctor, but our appointment will have to be postponed. I trust Kurogiri will escort you back."
"Y-yes, of course. I will keep going as planned." The doctor grabbed his things and headed for the exit, stopping for a brief second to look at Izuku, just like the teen they were attempting to replace in their memory. Then, they continued on their way.
"Did I interrupt something?" Izuku asked cautiously.
"Of course not... that poor doctor, though. You gave him quite the scare. He might actually get some gray hair this time around." All for One stood up and searched through the shelves for tea. Izuku saw how the villain struggled and ended up helping him.
"On your left, behind the cups," he indicated.
"Oh, indeed. Why did I even put it back there? I'm getting distracted," the villain mused. "Please go on, tell me everything about the entrance exam. What did the rat have in store for you?"
Izuku hung his bag on a chair and sat in front of All for One. "Not much... at least, nothing that I wasn't expecting. The written exam was fun, though it wasn't much of a challenge. It did help a lot to clear my head and forget about..." Izuku's sentence got stuck in his throat. He hesitated for a moment, sensing the intensity in the air. "Well, never mind that. The practical exam was the real deal. The robots were easy to handle, and I managed to score around forty villain points. But there was this colossal robot wreaking havoc, and while everyone was running away, I felt that Ochaco wasn't moving. I gathered as many quirks as I could on the way and gave everything I had against the robot. Note to self: never release all the quirks at once unless it's an emergency."
"Had it not been for All Might, I'm sure I could have hacked my way into U.A. to get the recordings. Now I want to see you in action."
"You were right. When I was using all these quirks at the same time, I felt like nothing was impossible. I thought I could burn out the sun if I wanted." Izuku closed his eyes, trying to remember how the energy burned bright through his muscles, how each quirk had seemed to willingly flow with him. "I want to feel that again."
"I understand the feeling. We have most likely the greatest quirk to ever exist... but—" All for One put on his helmet once again, holding back a cough. "There is one that might as well be on par."
"Uh... For once, I feel like I don't want to know this story." Izuku admitted. He felt that All for One was in an awful mood; the villain was rather disappointed than angry.
"All Might's quirk... your fight against him, no... no, please tell me it's not—"
"One for All ... a terrible power I created by accident. I guess it's about time we talked about it." Shigaraki walked around the room to clear his mind. "Let's start from the begining, once upon a time there were two brothers who lived together with quite terrible parents, they survived, they dreamed of a world with just a bit more fantasy, a world of heroes and villains. A fateful day one of the brothers received the power to take everything for himself, he could create this perfect world or at least get close enough from it ... but his brother didn't have the same point of view, eventually they had a disagreement and the elder brother made a mistake, he gave a quirk to his brother." As All for One finished the prelude of his story Izuku had already figured out where the plot was headed.
"Your brother received One for All in the first place." Izuku deduced. "But that was- ... like a couple centuries ago !"
Shigaraki's hand shivered with regret. "Fate brought up the opposition I had not encountered yet, I never fought my brother, how could I? He had the ability to allow quirks to transfer between people without destroying themselves, One for All merged with my brother's quirk and it became the very first "quirk singularity", my brother gave One for All to someone, their quirk merged with it, then this person gave One for All to another and their quirk merged again, over and over and over again ... Until All Might arrived! So far none of the previous users could sustain the physical strain of One for All, but All Might had a passive quirk that hadn't been registered in the past, his body was able to stretch and absorb or diminish almost any kind of damage it would receive, so far." The symbol of evil looked down at his second protegee. "You wished you hadn't heard this story now," All for One attempted to reassure Izuku, his voice softening as he delved into the painful details of his past. He leaned in, emphasizing the gravity of the information, answering any questions the young man had on his mind.
"I had to tell you; All Might is weakening. The injury I inflicted on them wasn't threatening their life but rather their time as a hero," All for One explained with a calculating look, gauging Izuku's reaction.
"They want to pass on One for All to someone at U.A... another student?" Izuku's voice carried a mix of curiosity and concern. All for One's expression darkened, and he leaned back, his eyes narrowing in concern.
"Most likely. He has seen your quirk; everyone has... Izuku, I want you to be very careful. All Might has a lot of friends who know about One for All and who wouldn't hesitate if they were asked to commit an actual crime if it meant ensuring their victory over what All for One represents, the greatest mistake of my life might become yours."
Izuku nodded slowly, absorbing the weight of the warning. "Do they think you are dead?"
"Chances are they do. Well... not all of them. Nighteye is the most zealous of All Might's friends. Even if they showed him my body and I was dissolved into a powerful acid before his eyes, he would say it wasn't really me."
"You mean Sir Nighteye? I know he worked with All Might, but I thought they had a disagreement." Izuku tilted his head in curiosity.
"I investigated about this; turns out All Might was being pressured by his friend. I do not know what it was all about, but I'm almost certain it's about One for All." All for One's tone became analytical, and he looked intently at Izuku. "Izuku, no matter what or what they say, remember you are a hero."
"I already know I am. I just need to live with it." Izuku's response carried a mixture of determination and acceptance, a glimpse into the complexity of his emotions as he faced the challenges ahead.
Over the next week, Izuku didn't do much. In fact, he was able to relax for once. He kept visiting All for One, and the subject of One for All was banned from their conversations for obvious reasons.
On Sunday, a device was delivered with a message registered by Nezu himself, congratulating him on his performance during the exam. He was ranked first in both the written and practical exams. Apparently, his quirk analysis had been really appreciated, and saving Ochaco by taking down the zero-pointer had given him more "rescue points" in a single action than all the smaller villains he destroyed.
It was his hero academia now; he had done it. Inko had prepared Katsudon for the occasion, as expected. This was supposed to be a partially quiet evening; however, Inko had other plans.
Izuku had planned to go tell All for One the next day and thank the villain by the same occasion for his support. He was enjoying dinner with his mother when she suddenly told him, "I know you have been meeting with someone, Izuku."
The young man froze; he didn't want to involve his mother with All for One. "Mom, I—" Inko raised her hand, signaling Izuku to listen to her first.
"I do not mind. You have grown so much, perhaps thanks to them. I guess I can understand why you didn't tell me; I always worry a lot, maybe too much. I think I can trust your judgment. You should invite them over for dinner at some point; I'm certain they are really nice."
The young man gulped, introducing All for One to his mother? No way. "I-I don't think they enjoy social interactions a lot... I'm sorry for not telling you... I really needed the help of someone who... someone who could understand how my quirk feels."
"I do not blame you... but from now on, please tell me when you are visiting them."
"I-I will, Mom." Izuku stammered, his voice carrying a mix of hesitation and assurance.
At just about the same time, the phone rang. Inko stood up to answer it, leaving the kitchen for a moment.
"Yes, who is this?" Inko inquired, her tone a mix of curiosity and caution.
"INKO! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY," the caller screeched through the phone, forcing Inko to distance herself from the object. She recognized the voice, of course.
"Good evening too, Kyudai." All for One's right-hand man, the doctor, Kyudai Garaki, was a genius, a mad genius, but she had to admit his skills in science and medicine were perhaps a century in advance over the present. They didn't like each other as people, but they shared a respect for their roles.
"Don't 'Kyudai' me! I have been searching for weeks, but I'm sure of it now! It was your son, that green patch of messy curly hair with the marks on his cheeks! HE IS MEETING WITH YOU KNOW WHO."
"Congratulations, doctor. They have been meeting each other for the last few months. Now, can you stop yelling? I'm not alone; the TV is on at least so we are partially covered." Inko interjected, her voice calm but assertive. "Great diagnosis, by the way." She added, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Do not push it! Mistakes happen! How was I supposed to know you—you—... You seduced him, you—you—" Kyudai's voice raised in frustration.
"Doctor, you are about to step on a very thin line," Inko interrupted, making sure Kyudai had listened carefully to the tone she had used and ingested the threat. "Now I hope you have regained your good sense. First of all, this was a one-night thing, and I never imagined it would happen like this. Second, Shigaraki must never learn about it, but I assume this was obvious."
"I always wondered why of all the things you could ask to claim your favor you wanted me to help you with your pregnancy... you entrusted your child in my hands to bring him into our world, why?" The doctor asked, his tone demanding an explanation.
"You might be disgusting and devoid of morals, Kyudai, but you are a doctor above all. You wouldn't hurt someone for your own amusement... Kurogiri did convince me of that fact." Inko's voice held a mixture of reproach and assurance.
"You wanna make me cry now? Spare me the sympathy; I know how humans work; this mentality will get us all killed. But back to your son... he has it... he has All for One, how did I not see it?" He continued, his tone now focusing on the critical revelation.
"You are the scientist here... please tell me you didn't just check if he had an extra bone at his foot." Inko questioned, her tone slightly mocking.
A short silence preceded the doctor's response. "Young children tend to develop their quirk factor when they are four; there are always some traces even if the quirk is weak or undetectable. The extra bone is just a physical hint. Your son didn't have any quirk factor at all... but it makes sense in a way, All for One doesn't rely on quirk factor, that's how it's able to mutate and fuse quirks at will. It relies on its own... code, if I may say." The doctor tried to justify himself, showing off with his "experience".
"My son is going to U.A. Can I trust you to cover any leaks? For both his and Shigaraki's interests." She inquired, her voice shifting to a serious concern.
"Yes, yes, I can arrange that... are there any—any mutations compared to him?" The doctor wondered, already considering potential discoveries.
"If we are discussing specific details, this will happen face to face, and I insist for Kurogiri to be around." Inko laid down a condition, emphasizing the need for caution.
"... He knows?" The doctor asked, his voice holding a tinge of concern.
"He was the first to figure it out. Thankfully, I can trust him to never reveal anything even under torture." She reassured, her voice holding confidence.
"I need to run additional tests on you; you must have some sort of corruption quirk." Kyudai proposed, his tone shifting to professional curiosity.
"Try me, doctor, at your own risk." Inko's voice now held a challenging tone.
Kyudai hung up right as he began to let out his rage on the other side of the phone. Inko went back into the kitchen; Izuku was still watching the television, switching from one channel to another, looking for quirks in action to analyze. "Who was this?" Inko questioned, her gaze fixed on Izuku, seeking an explanation.
"I had to reschedule an appointment with a doctor; they are a bit grumpy but compliant."
Meanwhile, at a certain safehouse, Kurogiri was inventorying the resources available at the bar, considering they would soon be hosting yet another new member. "I will have to go refill our food supplies again. Since you and Dabi arrived, our consumption tripled... n-no offense intended, I was just pointing out—f-fact."
Rei giggled. "You are so genuine, Kurogiri. I didn't know you had a sillyside."
"S-Silly?" Kurogiri looked away for a minute; he had to chase away these strange thoughts.
"Please, miss Himura, do not overload my most trusted henchman with emotions." All for One appeared in the kitchen, his arms crossed behind his back. Kurogiri wished he hadn't been caught in such a position. "You are looking way better than you did when your son freed you about one year ago. I hope you feel ready to fulfill your part of our arrangement."
"Thank you again for your hospitality." Rei bowed. "You can ask me anything; bringing down Endeavor is the only thing I can do to help my children now."
"And it will happen; I will make sure it does. You have been able to recover in a safe environment, and I trust you are strong enough to prepare a full testimony. I'm certain I can entrust Tomura with convincing your son to stop being so stubborn and to untie his tongue."
"I would have said good luck with that, but you are right to trust him. Tomura has a unique charisma despite how asocial he is; he relates to Toya—I mean Dabi—so much more than I do."
"Attempted Feminicide, Attempted Infanticide, imprisonment as well as physical and mental torture..." All for One summarized Endeavor's crimes with boiling excitement. "Yes! I think this should be enough to have himself locked up in Tartarus. I should know myself, but even I didn't go as far as he did... though the torture and the imprisonment may have been part of my record," he admitted before turning toward Kurogiri. "I will need your help to assist miss Himura while she makes her testimony."
The bartender nodded in approval, and then All for One approached Kurogiri to whisper at the villain. "Your presence is soothing to her; while you may be emotionless, try to develop some empathy. It would help a lot."
"Y-Yes, sensei."
"Now, where is my protege—" All for One walked out of the kitchen to find Tomura sitting on a couch with Toya Todoroki and a girl with sharp teeth, whom he assumed to be Himiko Toga. The villain thought to himself that perhaps Tomura wouldn't be stuck in his teenager phase for eternity.
"If I win this time, are you gonna try to dust me again?"
"Shut up and stop dodging already."
"Oh, oh! If I lose, do I get to be angry and stab someone?"
All for One loomed behind the couch. "No stabbing or disintegration in the safehouse, children. Think about who has to clean up afterwards."
Dabi bent his head backward, not focusing on their game. "Tomura, your dad is here."
Meanwhile, Tomura used this brief moment of inattention to slay Dabi's character. The thrill of victory, however, prevented him from defending himself from Himiko's sneak attack. "I won!" beamed the young lady.
All for One sighed, expecting Tomura to destroy yet another controller, but to his surprise, he remained composed and simply dropped his controller on the floor. His protegee sent a curious glare at the girl with sharp teeth before looking at him. "Sensei," he greeted.
"I see you are bonding with your friends; good. I think it's time for you to step into the spotlight." Dabi and Himiko shared a glance; they figured out it was a serious talk. "It has already been confirmed that All Might will be teaching at U.A. What are your plans?"
"Schedules, we need those. Once it's made public that All Might is teaching, the media will be swarming around U.A. With a little push, we can break their defenses and let the vultures inside. This should cause enough chaos so that Himiko can sneak in and obtain a copy of the schedules."
"Yup! I even gathered some blood already," the blond girl confirmed.
"Excellent. What about you, Dabi?" All for One asked.
"Recruitment with Giran. If we are planning an attack, we have to gather some people. Turns out thugs are even cheaper than I thought. The point isn't to hurt the students, right? Just to keep them away from our business."
"If you are worried about your relative, I can assure you no harm will come to him."
"My brother? Tcchh... as far as I know, he is just like my siblings, gave up on mom and me as soon as it was convenient. They don't even try to keep their heads up." Dabi replied. He saw his mother at the back of the room; she knew just as much as he did that they were on their own.
"Your father will be a target in due time." All for One placed his hand over Dabi's shoulder; the young man somehow appreciated the gesture. "It seems you do not need my help. I will be on my way now... Oh, Kurogiri, I need to speak with you in private."
All for One has summoned Kurogiri to his basement; the barman was partially concerned about what might happen during this meeting. He really wished it wouldn't have anything to do with Inko's secret.
"It's about Deku," the symbol of evil went straight to the point. Kurogiri was glad his condition provided him with the benefits of hiding his emotions, and also that his master never considered grabbing himself a lie detector or a mind-reading quirk.
"That young boy who keeps visiting you, sir... did—... did anything happen? Was there any incidents?" If All for One had figured out what was truly going on, he wouldn't be so calm.
"Oh no, Deku is a good kid. He isn't in any trouble, nothing related to me... well, not directly." All for One sounded hesitant, afraid of something. Kurogiri was not used to seeing his master worried; he had been concerned himself about how Tomura was growing up, and All for One was less than bothered by the teen's unstable state. "He has been exposed to One for All; it had to happen sooner or later, but it did, and I'm not handling the situation as well as I expected to."
"I'm sure there isn't much to be concerned about, sensei. You keep saying that young Deku is smart and courageous. If you told him the essential, then surely he will be able to stay out of troubles." The bartender tried to reassure the symbol of crime.
"I trust his ability to protect himself; what I do not trust is the mischievousness of the Commission and the fanatics orbiting around All Might." All for One was justified on this aspect of the situation. "I can't keep an eye on him at U.A. since Tomura will be operating soon-"
Kurogiri cut All for One. "I apologize for interrupting, but on this side of the problem, how do you wish to handle their interactions?". The symbol of crime remained silent for a few seconds.
"Keep them as far away from each other as possible... this won't be possible in the long term, but Tomura really wishes to terminate or at least humiliate All Might as soon as he can. This just so happens to be when Deku is part of his class." Shigaraki sighed. "As I was saying, Tomura will be operating soon, and 'kicking' the hive, Mirai will run back to protect his cherished quirk as long as it hasn't been transferred... unless it has already."
Kurogiri's eyes widened. "We know who is supposed to become the next holder already?"
"A student named Mirio Togata, a miniature All Might as it has been reportes to me. We can deal with him later, hopefully before he figures out how to use One for All. I'm relieved that he won't have All Might's resilience to injuries and quirk overuse."
"Should Tomura be aware of this?" The warp villain asked.
"Not yet. He has to remain focused on his goal. As for Deku... consider him like a VIP. He has to be protected but not made aware of your role and our relation; he cannot until-" All for One coughed in his hand; Kurogiri saw red. "Call-"
"I will contact the doctor right away." And with that, the mist villain vanished.
Later that day, Inko had instructed the doctor to meet up with her at a random cafe, which thankfully was less popular than expected. Kurogiri couldn't be present as he had things to prepare with Tomura. It reminded her of those innocent meetings she had with Shigaraki in the past - how childish they were back then, and now they were old and chained by their own problems.
The doctor arrived, wearing civilian clothes and an oversized scarf around his neck to hide the lower part of his face. "Miss Heartbreak," he greeted her, referring to her quirk and perhaps even alluding to her relationship with All for One.
"You are late," she scolded him.
"A common friend of ours was feeling ill, too much stress, though given our line of work, I'm used to this kind of calls," Kyudai began to explain. "And before you ask, yes, they are feeling better already. And it will stay that way, assuming they do agree to sleep and let their body do what it's naturally able to," he finished with a pinch of sarcasm, insinuating that All for One wouldn't follow his doctor's instructions.
"Good, then let's talk. What do you want to know?"
"How old is he now? Fourteen?"
"Just recently, yes. He is a perfectly healthy and mentally stable boy," Inko clarified.
"You didn't have to be so specific, though I'm happy to hear about his well-being." The doctor waved his left hand dismissively and took out a few documents. "I kept notes about him; that's all I had the time to analyze when he was born - weight, blood type, quirk factor, inherited traits from his parents," the doctor pointed at specific statistics regarding Izuku's lack of quirk. "The same as his father. Back then, I didn't notice anything. Now I feel like a total fool."
"I guess I did a great job protecting him then," Inko concluded, satisfied with the decisions she took all these years ago. But the doctor just laughed. "What's the matter?"
"You created a bomb none of us will be able to escape. He would burn the entire universe for you, and you had to give him a son... peak of irony. He thinks you married some random man, who I assume left you behind as soon as he learned his son was quirkless. And he doesn't even know he has family. What do you think will happen when he learns the truth? Because he will. You aren't delusional enough to believe that all is well in the best of the worlds, right, Inko?"
The ex-vigilante pushed back the documents toward the doctor. "So what if he learns about Izuku? I will just adapt to the situation. His business stays as far away as possible from Izuku, or else I will be the one to burn the universe. All for One or not... I thought you would understand what it's like to care about other people."
Kyudai's expression dropped; his jaw contracted awkwardly. "That time is long gone... I will end up in the same hell as all these great minds who tried to change the world. As Oppenheimer said, now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds... Hopefully, I will be burning where you expect me to be before anyone has to go through the actual quirk singularity."
The doctor stood up from his seat and left some money on the table so Inko could pay for their drinks. However, the ex-vigilante held him back before he could take his leave. "We disagree on a lot of things, doctor, but know that I acknowledge your work and that I will be ever grateful for your efforts."
Kyudai scoffed. "Thank you, queen of the underworld."
