Forget it. That story is for the future.
All Might was watching over his chosen successor.
He was doing his best to train him—even though he wasn't entirely sure how to properly teach someone like him. Still, he created a training plan, and that was what they had followed for an entire year.
No rest.
No doubt.
Only pure concentration on training.
All Might watched him improve day by day.
And just before the survival exam, All Might decided to give him the prize he had been waiting for.
It wasn't just any Quirk.
This power had been passed down from one successor to another until it reached this era.
All Might plucked one strand of his golden hair and looked at the boy standing before him.
"Eat this."
The boy stared at the golden strand.
Then he nodded and hastily grabbed it.
All Might observed his reaction—no panic, no disgust, nothing.
Just excitement.
He didn't question it. To him, the boy was simply enthusiastic and happy.
He watched as the boy swallowed the golden strand without hesitation. No discomfort. No coughing.
All Might gave him a thumbs up.
"So, how does it feel?" he asked.
The boy chuckled slightly, then shouted—
"FINALLYYYYYYYYYY!"
All Might smiled.
The boy was finally laughing.
He told him to get some rest. The exam was tomorrow.
"Yes," the boy replied before turning and running home.
All Might watched him run with excitement and joy.
"You deserved it," All Might murmured. "You worked hard for it."
The next day, All Might called him.
"The examination is today. Prepare everything you need."
All Might waited for him at the island gate.
When he saw him, something felt off.
The boy's eyes were scanning the area frantically, as if searching for something.
"Oh, you're here!" All Might called. "Come on, young man. I'll lead you."
"You'll be part of the first half of examinees entering the chamber. Since many want to enroll, we adjusted the schedule."
All Might continued explaining as they walked, but the boy wasn't listening.
He seemed distracted. Questioning something in his mind.
Time passed.
The boy received a yellow ribbon, just as All Might had said, marking him as part of the first group entering the chamber.
All Might watched closely.
Something was different.
He shrugged it off.
Maybe the boy was just nervous. After all, he didn't fully understand how to use the power yet.
All Might smiled.
But when the boy entered the portal—
All Might saw something unbelievable.
Red vein-like patterns glowed along the boy's legs.
Light green sparks burst from his feet.
Then he launched himself toward the forest.
All Might was stunned.
In just one day… he had mastered it.
He was using the power like it was his own.
All Might felt relieved.
He had chosen the right inheritor.
He watched him throughout the day.
The boy moved as if he fully understood the Quirk. When he encountered a monster, he struck it with force, landing a decisive blow to its head.
Then he would smirk and walk away, hands casually in his pockets, searching for the next target.
All Might could see it.
Feel it.
The boy was different.
But he couldn't pinpoint what had changed.
( ・`ω・´)Later that day, All Might was heading toward the monitoring room to check on his successor again when—
BOOOOOOOM.
A tremor shook the ground.
He immediately rushed toward the source.
The Black Ribbon Chamber.
He lifted off toward the tunnel. As he drew closer, the tremors intensified.
Inside the portal, he saw examinees frozen in fear, clinging to whatever they could hold.
Without hesitation, All Might moved.
He vanished and saved them, carrying them out of the chamber in an instant.
During the chaos, he saw a flash of blue lightning.
And from it—Mentors were emerging.
Mabui approached him.
"All Might, the Principal is looking for you. He says he wants to ask a question."
"I'll go later," All Might replied. "I need to check if there are still people inside."
Then he heard Unohana's voice.
"No need to worry, Yagi. I'll take care of the rest."
All Might hesitated.
But when she said it, he nodded.
He knew who she was.
There was no argument to be made.
He nodded once more—
And vanished from the tunnel.
Vooooosh.
Meanwhile—
Like All Might, Nezu was in his office.
The principal's office was located in the left wing of U.A., above the meeting floor—on the forty-ninth floor.
An important guest had arrived, and as principal, Nezu was personally accompanying her.
Because things were complicated when it came to this family.
The Kuja Family.
"Kuja" meant Nine Snakes.
They were among the most unique beings in the world. Their race and history were said to originate from a creature called Medusa—a being whose gaze could turn anyone into stone.
Anyone.
That was why their family was known worldwide.
Their beauty alone could bring ruin to those foolish enough to stare too long.
Many mysteries about them remained undiscovered.
And today—
A beautiful woman had come.
She was dangerous.
Her elegance.
Her walk.
Seductive. Alluring.
Even Nezu, while studying her carefully, could tell—
This woman would bring trouble wherever she went.
She was Shakuyaku.
The future head of the Kuja Family.
She sat there, smoking leisurely, waiting for someone.
Nezu reviewed the file she had handed him.
It wasn't merely documentation.
It was a demand.
Rules and regulations that required approval—or consequences would follow.
A strict set of conditions imposed on U.A.
And there was no room for argument.
Everything in it was for someone very important.
Nezu read carefully.
Studying every line.
Then—
BOOOOOOOM.
A tremor.
Not as violent as the one in the chamber.
But enough to be felt.
Nezu stopped reading and rushed to his computer.
On the monitor, multiple chamber indicators appeared.
He scrolled down.
The Black Ribbon Chamber units were flashing red. Constantly.
Nezu's paws moved faster than thought.
He analyzed the system.
From the connected monitors, all he could see was violent shaking.
Then—
From monitor 1013 of the Black Ribbon Chamber—
A file arrived.
Sent through Nemu's verification.
Nezu opened it.
He saw him.
His eyes widened.
An idea clicked instantly.
This power?
This overwhelming force?
This devastating impact?
"All Might…?" he whispered.
Then he contacted Mabui.
"Call All Might."
