Chapter 9 - Chance for greatness?

Several minutes later, all the 3 kids were on a make-shift bed that Toshinori somehow got from somewhere. He was sitting in the ground while waiting for the three.

He was, as you can guess, flexing while he's at it.

A moment later, Yoshiki started twitching, he groaned and sat up, massaging his head.

"Ugh, I feel like I just woke up from death bed." he started noticing his surroundings, how he's somehow laying on something dirty and that Izuku and Katsuki was laying next to him.

He instantly shuddered. 'No way... they wouldn't... M-My dignity....' 

Tears started forming in his eyes and he hiccupped. His life is ruined, no women would ever love him again. He's... he's unofficially gay now... Nooooooo!!!!

Thankfully before he could spiral out of control, a cough was heard beside him. He snapped out of it and could immediately smell that familiar scent. He sprung out, and jumped the figure, he punched. 

It was blocked. His eyes widen and tried to pull back but found that he can't so he started hitting with all he got. Somehow, it feels like hitting a wall of metal. He can feel that it's definitely not working so he put on more force into it. 

His hands were grabbed, so he started kicking instead. Soon even both his legs were grabbed. He hung there trying his best to maneuver and bite the guy's throat but he was kept at a distance.

"TOUCH MY FRIENDS AND I'LL KILL YOU! YOU DAMN CO** SU****!! !@#!@#!@" he started blasting off curse after curses while Toshinori just watched him stunned.

'Were kids supposed to know these words..?' he started questioning the country he's in and started questioning the kid's parents as well.

Somewhere out there, some parents suddenly sneezed out of nowhere.

"That's enough young man, I won't do anything. Trust me." Toshinori said to the child hoping he'd listen. Surprisingly, Yoshiki listened. 

Now that Yoshiki has thought about it, he does not feel any danger from this man at all. Perhaps it's because he's no match no matter what he do so his body instinctively gave up or perhaps this man bears no ill will in all honesty, he will see.

Now that he looked at this guy, he kinda looks like... All Might...

Er... All Might..?

His brain started malfunctioning. His brain started digging up all the figurines, TV shows, games depicting All Might. All of it pointed to the same face this guy is wearing. 

"ALL MIGHT?!" he all but shouted after moment.

"HAHAHA!!! IT IS I, ALL MIGHT!!!" confirmed Toshinori.

"But- You- Wha- I- No, what- How?!" Yoshiki can't even form a proper word at this point. He was more than baffled, he's lost it from this moment.

In his confused rambling, Izuku started stirring awake.

"Aghh... It was the weirdest dream ever... Katsuki and Yoshiki fighting, and then Katsuki won, then All Might.." as he says this, he looked to the side and saw Yoshiki being hung by his limbs then he looked to the one holding Yoshiki and then... "AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!" 

Just like that he passed out again.

Yoshiki looked at him, and then both him and All Might looked at each other. Soon, All Might lowered him to the ground and coughed.

"So... You've been stalking kids..?" asked Yoshiki while massaging his wrist.

All Might puked blood and swore it wasn't like that but no matter how he phrased it, it just kept getting worse and worse so he just shut up and avoided Yoshiki's gaze.

"How about this, young man. Let's wait for them to wake up and I will explain everything." 

"Sure..." Yoshiki agreed but still looked at Toshinori with a skeptical gaze.

-----

Moments later, Katsuki stirred awake, his expression was the same, shock, excitement, and then suspicion. He was chill though, by the time they realized, all of them were talking about their life. It was mostly All Might recounting his days as Hero, saving people, defeating Villains and Criminals.

He was passionately sharing his experience, mistakes he did as a Hero. The 2 were eating it all up, shining eyes, just nodding and nodding to his words. What a dream come true.

Soon, Izuku turned awake, he sprung out of bed and looked at All Might. He was shaking and breathing heavily, mumbling something only Yoshiki could hear but would never tell.

A few moments later of fanboying, autographs and all that nerdy stuff, the 3 kids sat on the ground to listen to Toshinori.

He cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

"If you are not aware, I had been observing the 3 of you for quite some time now." he started.

"I did. It's kinda creepy."

"Huh, it really is."

"Maybe it's for observation?!" Guess who said that.

"Ahem! So to continue... it was because I was finding a successor."

The kids looked at each other.

"To understand this, you must know that I was Quirkless." he contiued.

"""WHAT??!!""" they all shouted at once.

"How is that even possible?!" 

"That can't be, how?!"

"H-He.. Like me..?" Guess who said this.

"Yes. Yes, I was." Toshinori said, nostalgia can be seen on his face. 

"My Quirk... is rare, it didn't used to be mine. Passed on, so to say." he continues while the 3 paid attention.

"My Quirk is 'One For All' it is a Quirk that can be passed on from one generation to another, either giving you a whole new different Quirk or enhancing what's already there."

"It is shared through another by digesting a DNA of the previous user." at this point the 3 are completely silent, minds thinking through all the possibilities.

Izuku then raised a hand and asked a question.

"If that's so... are you perhaps thinking of passing it on to us..?" this question seemed to catch the attention of the other 2 and they nodded along.

Toshinori smiled and nodded.

"But why?" asked Yoshiki whose instincts tell him there's more to it than that. 

All Might nodded and continued. 

"A year ago, I had a fight with my rival. He's the vilest evil, of course you kids wouldn't know because it was hidden from the public." he pulled his shirt up and revealed his wound. The kid's eyes widened. 

"I won, but at the cost of the majority of my stomach. My time is running out, I need to pass this Quirk on to another." 

"Do you three believe in fate? I just wanted to have a fresh air when I heard explosions near here. To my surprise, it was three kids fighting." he smiled as he retold that memory.

"I noticed how you young men are so close, so young yet so strong. Specially you, Young Midoriya. You reminded me of myself back when I was younger."

Saying this, he pulled out a strand of his hair.

"This Quirk can only be passed to one person at a time. Decide who amongst you can get it." 

This was, of course, a test. Will they willingly give it to the Quirkless kid? Would they fight amongst themselves? It is cruel but he needs to know what their decision would be.

"I think it should be you, Kacchan." 

This surprised all of them as they stared at Izuku in shock.

He continued "If it is you, then perhaps the enhancement would take your Quirk to the next level. You wanted to be No. 1 don't you?"

Katsuki was speechless but soon found his voice.

"I don't wanna. Relying on a Quirk instead of my own, I don't want that. You should have it."

"Pft, hehe. Yeah, I'm passing on it as well. It gives me the hivvy jivvies just looking at it." says Yoshiki while rubbing his arms. 

"I always trust my instinct so... you have it, Izuku. Imagine the possibilities, we will probably end up in the same Hero Class." he shoots Izuku a cheeky grin.

Izuku had tears on his eyes. Of course he wanted to have a Quirk, God knows how much he does. But being selfish was not in his books. Perhaps just this once.

Toshinori smiled at that scene. 'I chose correctly.'

Toshinori then gave it to Izuku. 

"Eat this." 

"Eh?"

"Eat this." says All Might seriously while Yoshiki was already laughing his ass off.

Moments later, he already digested the hair.

"D-Does that mean I have a Quirk now..?" 

"We'll see soon, probably." says All Might.

"Probably?"

"Yes."

"Uhmm... Th-Thank you... SEMASSSHHHUUU."

"SEMASSSHHHUUU?"

"Because.... Um.... You always shout that..."

"Oh yeah."

"..."
