Hello readers, sorry for the delay in updating, because my hand is sprained so I have difficulty writing and there's not much I can write. Also, I don't know whether next week I will be able to make a new chapter or not, therefore please forgive me if I don't upload it next week or until I recover.

Once again, I am sorry.

From the skies of the destroyed Kamino district, news helicopters continued to fly while reporting what was happening below. Sounds of impacts and explosions continued to be heard from behind the clouds of dust rising in the sky. Occasionally, sparks appear in various places.

The reporters and cameramen present even swallowed hard after watching the intense fight in front of them.

" Everyone, did you see this, in front of us there is currently a fight between the villain boss and the vice guild master of the Dawn guild. Currently, the fight is one-sided with the vice guild master continuing to pressure the villain boss.

It's hard to believe that with just two people the Kamino District was almost razed to the ground. Apart from that, there were many black figures seen forming a 1 km long boundary from the battle location. "

As the reporter continued to speak, what they witnessed was also broadcast throughout Japan, and perhaps not only Japan but also the surrounding countries. The people watching on the screen could feel the tension of their battle to the point of forgetting the confusion they felt before.

" I-is this even a fight between humans? "

" How can humans have such power? "

" they are monsters "

Meanwhile, All For One looks overwhelmed when facing Izuku. Of all the enemies he has ever fought, only the holder of One For All can fight on par with him. And now in front of him was a child who was able to surpass them. Not only is his physical strength on par with All Might, but his ability to summon black soldiers is quite disturbing.

Apart from that, Izuku's ability to use a dagger even exceeds that of a professional assassin also makes him overwhelmed. Don't know how many times Izuku's dagger almost slashed his neck. Thanks to his shadow continuing to attack All For One, Izuku was able to sneak between them and target his vital points. Moreover, it wasn't just one dagger that was targeting him, but five daggers all at once with one of them containing poison.

Even though All For One can also use a defense-based quirk, Izuku is still able to penetrate it. As soon as All For One tried to defend against the hard bones covering his body, Izuku's fist easily went straight through them as if they were made out of glass. Thanks to that, who knows how many large and small wounds he had healed since they started fighting.

But despite his extraordinary abilities, the thing that amazed All For One was the killing intent radiating from his eyes. He could see that there was no hesitation whatsoever in his gaze and every attack.

It's very rare to see a child attack with eyes like that. Especially from a 15-year-old kid like him. Cold eyes seemed to have no concern for the lives lost in front of them, just like the eyes of someone who had already taken someone else's life.

Realizing this fact, a smile involuntarily formed on All For One's face again. He opened his mouth again hoping that his opponent would be fooled.

" You've killed a human, right? "

Hearing her question, Izuku just smiled. He did expect that All For One would provoke him but he didn't expect that he would mention this topic

" If so, why? "

" Unexpectedly you seem very calm. Don't you feel guilty after taking someone's life, or do you think that person deserved it? "

" Yeah, unfortunately, those feelings don't bother me anymore. "

" Is that so, but, I wonder how other people will react when they hear it "

Even though Izuku knew this conversation was just a waste of time, Izuku couldn't help but smile. Thanks to All For One, he remembered the memories he had buried deep in his memory. But when he thought back to the people who were by his side, Izuku's smile rose slightly.

" Why? Is there something funny? "

" Yes, there is, and that's your question. How do you think I could be in my current position despite the past I have? "

Without finishing their nonsense, Izuku attacks All For One again with his dagger. Since his provocation didn't work, All For One realized that he could no longer continue this fight. Not only did he receive injuries from his fight with All Might but his stamina as well. Thanks to that his recovery was slow and the wounds from before started to appear.

Feeling pressured, All For One finally used the remaining strength he had to launch the final attack. Izuku also realized his intention and immediately stepped back to take some distance.

Izuku instantly dispersed his mana, preparing for the upcoming attack. All For One immediately gathered all the quirks he had to create his strongest attack combination.

While All For One was preparing, Izuku summoned Tusk and Iron to protect him from All For One's attacks while he prepared a counterattack.

" Now do you want to hide behind your soldiers? I didn't expect you to be such a coward. "

" ... "

Instead of answering Izuku's focus was only focused on All For One's right hand which looked swollen to an abnormal size almost ready to attack.

" Why are you silent? Do you admit that you are a coward? "

" You know, I don't care whether you call me a coward or a hero. My job here is to hunt you down and I will make sure that happens. "

" you arrogant brat "

Immediately, All For One went forward, targeting Izuku who was behind the Iron shield. All For One's fist immediately met Iron's shield accompanied by a shock wave followed by a very loud iron bang. Sparks were even created when the attack occurred.

The powerful blow produced by All For One was able to be blocked by Iron who received help from Tusk. Since this still wasn't enough to get rid of Iron, he then used Attack Force Neutralization to reduce the thrust he received from Iron's shield and managed to push him back.

However, Izuku's figure was no longer visible behind Iron who was pushed back. Realizing this, All For One hurriedly sharpened his senses and he quickly felt a sharp sensation directed towards his neck. He then saw Izuku's figure and heard the dagger that had almost reached his neck. Even though he realized that All For One didn't have time to react.

But before Izuku's dagger could decapitate his neck, a scream quickly changed the direction of Izuku's attack.

" DON'T KILL HIM!... "

Hearing Grand Torino's voice warning him, Izuku quickly spun his dagger replacing the blade with his pommel dagger. Even though it was only an attack from a blunt object, its attack power cannot be underestimated, especially as Izuku's attack hit the blood vessels in his neck, and thanks to that, All For One immediately fell almost unconscious.

Without caring about All For One who fell, Izuku quickly cut the tendons in his legs and arms to prevent him from running away. And when All For One's body fell, Izuku once again aimed his dagger at All For One's neck.

" cough... cough... what's wrong? Aren't you going to kill me? "

" Well, at first it was like that, but the situation changed a little. "

" Why? Is it because Grand Torino asked you? Unexpectedly you have a side like that. "

" Unlike you, I'm a person who cares about the people around me. "

" I see, but you do realize that the more people around you, the more people will become your weaknesses. Can you protect them all with your strength? "

" I don't know, I'm not sure either. But what's clear is that I can only do one thing, get stronger until no one else stands above me. "

" Is that so... I... will see... how... ha-hard you tr-y... "

After saying that, All For One's consciousness disappeared. He didn't die but fainted because he lost too much blood. As a result of the wounds he had previously suffered, blood continued to flow from the wounds until they formed a pool of blood underneath.

Izuku glanced briefly at the unconscious All For One, confirming that he was truly unconscious. Just in case Izuku also restrained his body with his Ruler's Authority.

While Izuku was focused on watching All For One, Grand Torino immediately approached him, who was also followed by other heroes who had previously been stuck outside the area because of Izuku's soldiers who were guarding the battle arena.

" Brat, you didn't kill him, right? "

" I didn't, I just made him unconscious for now. But well, if he's left like that he might really die. "

Hearing what Izuku said, Grand Torino immediately called medical officers and asked the police there to immediately bring the maiden's coffin.

Izuku took a moment to look at All For One's body which was still under his feet before the police officers took him. For a moment, Izuku didn't take his eyes off All For One before returning to Gran Torino.

" Grand Torino-san, there's something I want to ask. "

" huh? what is it? "

" Why are you forbidding me to kill him? Isn't he a dangerous opponent who should be killed? "

For a moment Grand Torino looked at him with a complicated gaze. He understood the reason for Izuku's decision to kill All For One, but unfortunately, that was not the way of a hero at all.

" I understand what you mean, but at least we have to get information regarding the main base and their organization's size from that man. "

" If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if I just killed him and resurrected him into my shadow- "

"BRAT!..."

Even though Grand Torino shouted angrily at Izuku no one heard or paid attention to them, it happened thanks to the mana barrier that Izuku put up around them before they spoke.

Grand Torino also noticed this and looked around with a confused expression before turning his attention back to Izuku. He seemed to have gotten the idea that the silence he felt was most likely Izuku's doing.

" Are you seriously saying that? "

" If we talk about the most effective method, of course, my method is better since my soldiers will completely submit to me. But if you involve humanitarian issues, of course, my method is not allowed and I have also promised not to use this ability on humans.

But Grand Torino-san, do you still think of that man as human? "

Izuku's question somehow stabbed him in the corner of his heart. If he spoke honestly, Grand Torino also hoped to kill the man because he had killed his best friend, but he had to restrain himself. For the justice and truth that his friend believes in, he must obtain information from All For One before finally killing him.

Izuku could only guess Grand Torino's thoughts from the stories he had heard and the expression on his face.

" Just so you know Grand Torino-san, ever since I found out what All For One did I have stopped considering him as a human. For me, he is just one of the many monsters I have to kill, and for information, we can just ask his corpse. "

" I understand your intentions and reasons, but at least let us solve this our way. "

" Alright, since you asked, I will obey, but Grand Torino-san, please remember this. I am not a hero, I am a Hunter. In other words, I will not let go of my prey, even in their death. "

For a moment, Izuku's eyes glowed purple once again, emitting intimidation and threats that made his opponent unable to refute his words.

" Sure, I will remember... "

Right after Grand Torino said that Izuku's figure disappeared from before him without leaving the slightest trace or sound. Grand Torino momentarily stared blankly at where Izuku had been before he finally turned around with the conclusion not to make the boy angry.
