Chapter 4

Next day...

Bakugo and Izuku was waiting for All Might in Takoba Municipal Beach. They were still trying to process about what All Might said to them yesterday.

All Might chose Izuku as his successor and deemed him worthy to inherit his Quirk. Of course, with Bakugo's "encouragement" Izuku accepted the proposal.

His exact words were; "If I can beat you who have All Might's quirk, then it means I also beat All Might! Since I can't beat All Might at full power due to his injuries, I'll make do with you."

After that, the three of them chatted for a few minutes before heading home. And Izuku stayed up late since he couldn't sleep due to excitement.

Quirk! He can have his very own Quirk! Something he have only ever dreamed off! Not to mention it was from his idol! All Might himself!

"I AM HERE!"

Bakugo and Izuku turned their heads and saw All Might in his buffed form with his trademark smile.

"Good morning, Young Midoriya, Young Bakugo!" Greeted All Might before he returned to his skinny form. "Also, in this form please call me Toshinori Yagi, whichever you prefer."

"You know," Izuku started as Toshinori and Bakugo looked at him, "Now that I think about it, All Might's like Johnny Bravo, you know, from that old cartoon."

Bakugo took a moment to remember where he heard the name before snorting. "Only he doesn't flirt with girls every chance he got....or does he?"

The blonde teen and his friend turned towards All Might with suspicious look.

"Well, I never heard of All Might being with a girl before."

"You never know, maybe he's good at being discreet about his love life."

"I guess, I mean, didn't he go to America? Maybe he met some girls there."

Toshinori felt his cheek twitched as he karate chop the two teens, "Texas Chop!"

"Ow!"

"Fuck that hurts!"

The number one hero rubbed his hands as he stared at the teens, "Alright that's enough fooling around. And for your information, I have never been in a relationship before, platonic or otherwise."

"So you're a virgin?" Asked Bakugo.

Toshinori quickly karate chop him on the head. "TEXAS CHOP!"

"OW!? MOTHERFUCKER! THAT HURTS!"

"Yeah," Izuku whispered, "Who knew he was so strong despite looking like a skeleton."

Toshinori coughed on his fist as all humor vanished from his face as he stared at the teens, "Anyway, let's talk about One for All."

Bakugo quickly shut his mouth and listened closely, not wanting to miss any details, but even if he did, he knew that the nerd would tell him anyway.

Izuku was a Quirk and Hero fanboy to his core, if there's someone who knew Quirks better than even the user, it was him.

Bakugo won't say that he got strong using his Quirk due to Izuku's help, but even so, he was very thankful.

Thoshinori smiled, "I actually planned on training you before giving you my Quirk, as to not blow yourself up—"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I just heard something dangerous!" Izuku stared at All Might, "Blow myself up?! What the fuck!?"

Bakugo looked at the sky, 'Ah, where did that boy who couldn't even say a single bad word go? Am I a bad influence?'

"Oh, that," Toshinori looked embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head, "Well, you see, if your body was too weak to handle the power of One for All, there's a chance you wouldn't be able to handle it and blow yourself up. But don't worry! You are strong enough for that to not happen!"

Izuku deadpanned. For some reason, he doesn't have much confidence in All Might when it comes to teaching.

All Might turned to Izuku, "Well young Midoriya, it is finally time for you to inherit One For All!"

Izuku grinned and gave a look of determination on his face "I'm ready All Might!"

"Good!" After a dramatic pause of silence, All Might reached into his head and pulled out a strand of hair, then sticking it in front of Izuku.

"Now, eat this!"

There was a moment of awkward silence, before Izuku tilted his head with a dumbfounded expression, "Huh?"

"That's... disgusting." Bakugo added.

All Might rubbed the back of his head with his other hand, "Well in order for you to obtain One For All, you must ingest the current wielder's DNA, and hair is the least disgusting part of my body that you can eat so… here!" he said as he shoved the strand of hair to Izuku.

Izuku stared at the strand of hair for a few seconds, "U-Um... w-well..."

"Eat it!" All Might instructed once again. 'If I have to eat a hair to inherit this power then so do you! Eat it! Join the dark side! We have One for All!'

Izuku then sighed, "Well, I guess that's how it is then. Well here goes…"

He placed the hair in his mouth and quickly gulped it down as fast as he could.

Big mistake, because he actually choked on it for a moment and that caused him to gag on it more than he normally would have.

He struggled to get the hair down his throat, before finally swallowing it and then gasping for breath.

Bakugo cringed, "That looks painful."

After recovering from that experience, Izuku looked down at his arms and began to stretch them out.

"I don't really feel any different…"

"Well, it will take some time for your body to accumulate One For All, not too long though, so in the meantime, why don't we get to know each other, you know, name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dream for the future." Said All Might.

He then pointed at himself, "Why don't I go first then. My name is Toshinori Yagi. 48 years old. I like movies and cedars from Yakushima! I dislike people who hurt others just for their own selfishness! My hobbies are stargazing and gardening! I have already achieved my dream of becoming the Symbol of Peace! Now, I just wanted to teach my successor similar to how my master taught me."

Then, he pointed at Bakugo, "You're next Young Bakugo!"

Bakugo shurgs, "Name's Katsuki Bakugo, fourteen years old. I like spicy foods and mountain climbing, I also enjoy the occasional spars with Izuku. I dislike losing."

"And brushing your teeth," said Izuku, "Don't forget that you hate brushing your teeth but do it anyway since you hate germs and cavities."

"SHUT UP!" Bakugo threw a right hook which Izuku easily dodged and just laughed. The blonde teen glared at his friend before continuing, "My hobbies are playing Basketball, and also playing drums too, I guess. Dreams for the future, of course, IT'S TO BE THE NUMBER ONE!"

Izuku chuckled. And Toshinori just smiled at the blonde teen and patted his shoulder, "It won't be easy, and you will have a lot of competition. But as long as you don't give up, one day, you'll realize that dream."

Bakugo smirked, "No need to tell me that."

Toshinori nodded before turning towards Izuku, "How about you, young Midoriya?"

Izuku smiled, "Well to start, I'm Izuku Midoriya, fourteen years old, I like Katsudon, and Martial Arts. I dislike being told like I'm some sort of disabled person because I'm Quirkless. I don't like hurting people either, but do it if it's necessary. My hobbies are dancing and cooking. As for my dream...."

Izuku paused as Bakugo and Toshinori listened closely. Despite being friends for years, Bakugo has never heard Izuku saying what his dreams are. He knew that Izuku wanted to be a hero, but other than that he knew nothing.

Izuku grinned and clenched his fist, "Being Quirkless, I realized that there is always a limit to one's ability. Even if I somehow gained All Might's abilities, I know that the people I can help will still be limited, after all I'm only one person."

Toshinori nodded, as he too knew that he can't save everyone despite what the public, especially the children believed.

And he had already learned to accept that, it doesn't mean he have to like it though.

"That's why," Izuku looked at Toshinori, "I wanted to make my own Hero Team! A team of strong and just heroes who would step up to be the Pillars of Peace! If one Symbol of Peace managed to bring down the crime rates, then imagine if we have an entire group of them! That is my dream! To make a team who will one day be known as the Symbol of Peace, and will have the ability to do the job that one man cannot."

Bakugo smirks, 'Well I'll be. The nerd sure knows how to dream big. Becoming the number one is already enough for an individual, much less a group. In history, no hero group has managed to reach the top 30 in Hero rankings.'

Toshinori couldn't be more proud of the successor he chose. He wondered if this is how his master felt when he proclaimed that he wanted to be known as the Symbol of Peace.

Without even realizing it, Toshinori transformed to his buffed form and patted his successor's shoulder, "Young Midoriya, your dream is even harder than becoming the number one. But I believe in you, and I will be supporting you every step of the way."

Izuku smiled, "Thank you, All Might."

All Might gave him a thumbs up, "Now that's the introductions are done, how about we see if you can use One for All."

"Yes sir!"
