Conversation With All Might

*On the Rooftop*

The Number One Hero flew to the rooftop, and Izuku followed him nonchalantly. Once on the rooftop, the blond felt compelled to ask Izuku a question, which Izuku had clearly planned.

"How did you manage to fly if you already have a young Quirk Midoriya?" All Might inquired, leaning against the rooftop railings and staring at Izuku.

"Well... it's a little complicated to explain, but first, may I ask you a question?" Izuku said calmly as he rubbed the back of his neck. All Might agreed with a nod and then looked at Izuku calmly.

"Have you been able to save everyone without anyone dying?" Izuku inquired, his gaze fixed on All Might, to which All Might responded with a serious expression while still smiling.

"I mean that if you have been able to save everyone if you set your mind to it, I mean you are the number one hero in the world and I guess nothing is too difficult for you, surely you have been able to save everyone who needed your help," Izuku said with serenity and a hopeful look while looking at his favorite hero, who was still silent thinking about what to answer at Izuku.

"For example, if I hadn't been attentive, that mud villain would have subdued me, but even so, you were close and could have helped me," Izuku said with a slight smile, thinking about that hypothetical case, it wasn't difficult to get the idea that the best hero can save them all if he sets his mind to it.

"That's impossible even for me," All Might replied solemnly, causing Izuku to look at him with surprise; Midoriya hadn't expected that response at all.

"No matter how strong I am, there will always be someone who needs my help and it is not within my reach to save them, I am not a god who is everywhere to help everyone, the only thing I can do is save as many people as I can during a dangerous situation," All Might replied solemnly, his gaze fixed on the young man, his big smile fading slightly.

"But don't you think there's a way to save them all?" Izuku asked again, a little surprised by the answer of All Might, the truth was understandable but he was still not satisfied.

"If you find out that way, tell me," All Might replied with a renewed smile and a thumbs up, which made Midoriya determined to find such a way, so he smiled serenely.

"You can count on that, All...", Izuku said, clenching his fist with a calm smile and a serene and slightly defiant look until he was abruptly interrupted.

*PUAGGHH!*

The Number One Hero had spat a lot of blood out of his mouth, which caused a lot of smoke to come out of his skin and cover him for a few seconds.

After that, a draft cleared the smoke, revealing a too-thin blond man with long hair and two long locks descending down the sides of his face.

He was about half the size of All Might, with gaunt facial features and eye sockets so prominent that you couldn't see his eyeballs at all, only two bright blue dots that could be his eyes.

"What the hell happened to All Might?" Izuku asked, a little excited and surprised, as he stared at the skeletal version of All Might in front of him, puzzled and intrigued.

"This is my true form, young Midoriya, I am All-PUAGH," said All Might, identifying himself as All Might, before spitting out a massive amount of blood.

"This is unbelievable, can you please explain this to me?" Midoriya asked calmly as he sat down on the ground, curious as to how the muscular hero ended up in such an emaciated state.

"All right, young Midoriya, but you must never tell anyone, you understand," All Might said tiredly as he sat leaning against the rooftop railings.

All Might then proceeded to explain the reason for his condition, showing to Midoriya his wound and telling him how many years ago he fought against the strongest enemy of his entire hero career and how they both ended up in a near-death state.

He also told him about the numerous operations he had to undergo in order to maintain his muscular state for at least three hours a day.

"Hehe," Midoriya said with a carefree air when guessing what strong enemy fought against All Might to leave him in that state, and while it was still just a theory, he was amused by how small the world is.

"I don't think it's funny, young Midoriya," All Might stated solemnly as he stood up again.

"It's just that I found something funny, but the truth is that your situation is very serious," Izuku defended himself as he stood calmly staring at the deteriorated Number One Hero.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't say anything," All Might said calmly, offering Midoriya a handshake as a sign of trust and faith that he would remain silent.

"It's okay, don't worry, if this gets out, it'll be a real problem," Izuku replied calmly as he responded to All Might's handshake gestured.

"Then tell me exactly what your Quirk is," All Might inquired, looking expectantly at Midoriya who had yet to explain his Quirk.

"Well... my Quirk is *BOOM*," Izuku said casually before being interrupted by a loud explosion that startled both him and All Might.

"Where did that come from?" All Might wondered, surprised and concerned about the source of the explosion. When they both looked at the source of the sound, they noticed a large amount of smoke coming from an area that appeared to be on fire.

"It appears to be coming from the center, let's go," said Izuku solemnly, bending down a little and motioning to All Might to climb on his back, to which All Might agrees, albeit with some embarrassment for relying on a young man.
