A few minutes before the operation began, Izuku was in his hotel room in Zhoushan, China. In front of him, the TV was on which was showing the UA press conference.

" Have the Hunters I assigned arrived? "

" yes they have arrived "

" I see, then I'll leave what's there to you. "

" um, okay I understand, thanks again for your help "

Izuku had just ended his call with Tsukauchi. A few moments before they were exchanging information regarding the situation of the villains in the bar and also the latest information that Tsukauchi had obtained. Thanks to that he also assigned some of his guild members to participate in the operation at Tsukauchi's request.

After finishing the call, Izuku put his cell phone down haphazardly before turning his attention back to the TV screen. He could see Aizawa bowing to the camera.

From behind he could feel several people approaching him. Even without looking he already knew the identities of those people.

" What are you watching, Leader? " (Shimizu)

" oh! isn't that UA? " (Tanaka)

" what are they doing? " (Kanae)

Those people were none other than Izuku's team members, and that also included Touya. Since the Hunters were staying at the hotel, his team had made Izuku's room a gathering place since his room was the most spacious. Thanks to his new title as a Chinese hero, Izuku has received the best service and thanks to that he also received a lot of unnecessary attention from Chinese citizens or certain people who kept pestering him to invite him to compete.

" Why are you guys here again? "

" Why not, the snacks and facilities here are better than in my room. " (Shimizu)

" That's your only reason? " (Tanaka

" What's wrong? I'm sure the others think the same, right? " (Shimizu)

" It's just you, we're here because we have something to report to the vice guild master. " (Kanae)

" So you mean I'm the only one playing around and not working? OK, then pay! " (Shimizu)

" What do you mean? " (Tanaka)

" Isn't it clear, I only collected payment for my healing earlier? " (Shimizu)

" tch, you mercenary " (Tanaka)

Ignoring the bickering of his team members, Izuku secretly checked on Japan's situation through the shadows he left there. He could hear Tsukauchi finishing his speech to the people involved in this operation.

While he was checking, the members' argument had already ended with Kanae calling out to Izuku.

" Vice Guild Master, we are here to report on today's raid. " (Kanae)

" Ah! Yes, how did it go? " (Izuku)

" We managed to complete 3 B-rank gates and 1 A-rank gate " (Kanae)

" Good job, you guys can go back and rest, tomorrow we have to go back to Japan. " (Izuku)

" Yes, Vice Guild Master " (Kanae)

" Why are we going so fast? " (Shimizu)

" Let's just go, the leader must be tired too, besides, there will be a banquet after this. They said they wanted to say a proper farewell to the savior before we returned to Japan. " (Tanaka)

" Okay, let's go " (Shimizu)

With Tanaka's invitation, Shimizu and the others started walking away from Izuku's room, except for one.

" Aren't you going Touya-san? "

" I'm not interested in parties "

" Yeah, that's how you are, by the way, there are several cans of beer in the refrigerator, take them if you want. "

"Did they put beer here even though they knew you weren't old enough to drink?"

" For the record, that thing was already there when I came here, besides, even if I drank it, it wouldn't have any effect on me. "

" Ah, yes of course, after all, you are immune to poison, I'll take some snacks. "

As Touya leaves, Izuku once again checks on Japan's condition. However, at the location he thought would be a bar where villains were hiding, he found a view of the Kamino district razed to the ground and collapsed buildings around it.

Izuku then narrowed his eyes when he saw All Might who was fighting with a strange figure in a black suit and wearing a strange black mask. Even though it was his first time seeing him, he could recognize him by his voice.

' All For One '

While they were fighting, Izuku found his vision as if he was being pulled back from the battlefield, it seemed like Shigaraki was forcibly sent away from the battlefield through a portal that opened behind him.

Knowing this, Izuku allowed him to watch over Shigaraki later and quickly shifted his senses to a nearby shadow soldier who happened to be the shadow soldier he had placed on the Grand Torino.

Izuku continued to monitor the battle, he almost acted when he found the Grand Torino almost hit by All Might's blow, but he managed to restrain himself.

However, the battle between All Might and All For One began to lean towards All For One with All Might being consumed by All For One's provocations and this was also shown on the TV he was watching. He could hear the reporter's voice describing the conditions on the battlefield which looked like disaster.

And when All For One was about to launch his attack, Izuku finally took action. Using his 'Shadow Exchange' skill he immediately swapped locations with the shadow he placed on.

Meanwhile, Touya, who had just returned, didn't see Izuku anywhere and instead one of his shadow soldiers was there. He tried to look around, but he couldn't even feel his mana at all. He then turned his gaze back to the shadow soldiers who were still staring at him.

" Where is your master? "

Instead of answering, the shadow soldier just pointed at the TV screen showing the situation on Kamino. And when Touya turned his eyes to the TV, he could only shake his head as he looked at Izuku's figure from the TV screen.

Returning to Japan, the atmosphere immediately turned silent thanks to the unexpected appearance of someone who interrupted the fight between All Might and the villain boss.

Even the reporter who was supposed to report on the development of the battle was also silent, not understanding the development of this unexpected situation.

" U-um, what happened? Did you all see it? Someone suddenly appeared on the battlefield. "

The image of Izuku suddenly appearing on the battlefield which was broadcast live was of course surprising and confused everyone. From those who didn't notice him at first, several people began to recognize Izuku's identity thanks to the symbol printed on the back of his robe.

" Isn't that the vice guild master of Dawn guild? "

" Why is he there? "

"Shouldn't he still be in China?"

It was not only the audience who felt confused but also All Might and All For One. All Might couldn't even hide his surprise and just looked at Izuku with a stupid face.

" Wh-why are you? "

" It's been a long time, All Might-san, it seems like you're not feeling well. "

Izuku noticed All Might's battered condition with blood flowing from his mouth. His muscular figure was also no longer visible with more and more smoke coming out of his body, leaving only a thin body with only skin and bones left.

Seeing All Might's condition which looked quite pathetic, Izuku could only click his tongue before taking a vision potion from his inventory. He then threw the bottle containing the red liquid at All Might. Beside All Might also appeared a knight with a red mane who covered his figure with his robe.

Confused as to what this treatment was about, All Might once again looked at Izuku as if asking what was going on.

" Stop looking at me like that, I don't know whether the potion will affect ordinary humans or not, but you better drink it quickly and heal your wounds. It would be embarrassing if the symbol of peace had an appearance like that. "

" Son "

" Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you but because of that man. Ah! That's right, I think I should apologize for stealing your victory. "

Despite Izuku's words, All Might felt there was a hint of concern in his words. Whether it was perhaps a misunderstanding on his part or Izuku cared, All Might decided to accept his son's kindness.

Without thinking, he immediately drank the healing potion in his hand and soon the wounds on his body began to heal. All Might was quite amazed by the effects of the potion he drank. He once again looked at Izuku with shocked eyes, but he didn't even look at him.

Ignoring All Might's reaction, Izuku immediately summoned his shadow soldiers. Since he realized there were still some casualties and cameras were watching them Izuku quickly spread his shadow to evacuate the victims, and that also included All Might.

After making sure everyone was a good distance away, Izuku turned his attention back to the opponent in front of him who remained strangely still despite what he did. Apart from that, the man's gaze was also only focused on him, as if he was evaluating Izuku's strength and abilities.

" I'm surprised you remained silent even though I took All Might away. "

" Well, unfortunately, now I'm more interested in you than the symbol of peace that has lost its appearance. Isn't that you, the person Tomura met the other day? "

" That's right. Well, I also didn't expect a famous villain boss to be interested in me, should I consider this an honor? "

" Unexpectedly, you are quite rude. "

" I take that as a compliment "

Responding to Izuku's rude attitude All For One smiled broadly. Even though his face was covered by a mask Izuku could still see it.

" I like you more and more, why don't you join me and rule Japan, with your strength we should be able to rule the world. "

" I see, so that's your goal, are you trying to become king or something? "

" Become king, well... that's not wrong, after all, there is no better position to be king of the world for a Demon Lord."

Hearing All For One call himself the Demon Lord, Izuku involuntarily laughed. He couldn't help but remember the figure of Baran, the devil who held the title of Demon Lord who was ultimately killed at Izuku's hands, even though what he killed was only a clone that was much weaker than the original.

" Why are you laughing? "

All For One, who doesn't like Izuku's playful attitude, radiates bloodlust towards him. Izuku looked at All For One for a moment, he also still maintained a smile on his face while contemplating that the man in front of him really shouldn't be compared to Baran. By looking at the damage he made during the fight Izuku could conclude that he was stronger than Baran's copy.

" Ah... I'm sorry, it's just that I remembered someone with the same title that I killed before. I was wondering if you would end up like that person. "

Despite this, Baran was an old opponent that Izuku had defeated and he was already much stronger than him at that time. He has killed many strong opponents, and with the Red Gate incident that he recently completed, his strength is already at the world level.

Even though he wasn't usually provocative, for some reason, Izuku's words made All For One a little annoyed.

" Let's see if you can still talk nonsense after I take your quirk. "

" Just try if you can "

At the same time, Izuku and All For One immediately attacked. While Izuku has a dagger in his hand, All For One swings a fist that he has added an Air Cannon, Spring Hand, Kinetic Enhancer, and Strength Enhancer.

When their dagger and fists collided a large explosion was created as a result. Different from the fight with All Might, Izuku wasn't blown away at all. He remained where he was and even prepared a counterattack using the two daggers floating behind him. The two daggers appeared behind Izuku and immediately launched and managed to scratch All For One's cheek.

Thanks to that attack, All For One began to distance himself from Izuku, but Izuku's attack was not only aimed at scratching him.

Not long after, excruciating pain began to radiate from the scratches and his body could not be moved at the same time and this was followed by blood flowing freely from the wound. All For One immediately realized what had just entered his body.

" To think you would use poison, is that a specially made weapon? "

Even though he was affected by Izuku's weapon, All For One remained calm and he also easily got rid of these effects thanks to the collection of stolen quirks he had. Seeing this Izuku wasn't too surprised either, since this wasn't the first time his weapon's effects had failed to affect the target.

" Seeing how you freely controlled those knives and summoned the black soldiers earlier, you must be a dual quirk user like me. "

" Well, what do you think? "

" Interesting, I want your abilities even more. "

" try to take it if you can "

Izuku attacks him again, and in response All For One switches to long-range attacks. He uses air pressure to try to blow Izuku away, but Izuku easily dodges the attack and reappears behind him with his dagger aimed at All For One's neck.

But Izuku's attack was blocked by the hard spiral bones that protected his neck. Izuku tried to make some distance again, but he was again attacked by a black object that came out of his finger. Amid the attack, All For One managed to reach to touch Izuku. Without letting go of this opportunity, All For One immediately tries to take Izuku's quirk.

But after a while, his face immediately filled with questions. Usually, once he took someone else's quirk, that person's quirk would immediately be transferred to him, but he didn't feel anything which made him confused. He was also quite familiar with this reaction.

" What's wrong? Can't take it. "

While All For One was confused, Izuku instead had a dismissive smile on his face.

" You, a quirkless person "

Izuku's smile deepened, not only to provoke her but also because he had confirmed one of her assumptions.

" That's right"

After saying that, Izuku swung his dagger again and put some distance between them again. All For One once again looked at his hand, he could still feel the empty sensation there before looking back at Izuku.

" Thank you, thanks to you, one of my theories has been proven. "

If there is something that makes Izuku curious, it is proof that Hunter's awakening ability and quirk are two different abilities. Previously he had confirmed through Aizawa that awakening abilities could not require using an eraser quirk, and now thanks to All For One Izuku knows that his abilities cannot be stolen.

Didn't like how Izuku was playing around and even took advantage of it. All For One decided to put an end to their fight

" Well, since the situation has become like this, I have no other choice but to kill you. "

" That's right, I think so too. Since you're my prey, I think I've had enough of playing around. "

Instantly the atmosphere around Izuku changed, his previous carefree smile had disappeared completely and was replaced with a cold expression. Along with his eyes glowing purple, a dark aura that gave off the image of a death god radiated from his body.

" Now, All For One, shall we finish this "
