Chapter 23: A daylight robbery
"My heir has a serious problem with sociability and there is a high probability that you will fall into the same room and I would be very grateful if you could be friends with him.
And as for the Quirk problem, this one is more complicated."
I listened intently to All Might as I digested the information.
If it was that kind of sociability, then I could do it.
But friendship is gained through mutual respect, but I think I could make some effort to honor all might's requests.
"While my heir was taking the practical exam, he decided to use my power for the first time and, well, he broke two legs and an arm and I have no idea how to avoid this kind of problem, It was something that never bothered me."
My eyes widened a little in surprise.
Did he really choose a suitable heir?
Did he even test whether the heir's body was prepared or compatible?
From my point of view, it looked like all might's Quirk was conflicting with the heirs.
No, that hypothesis was not correct.
If it was correct all might wouldn't be here talking and that would mean his heir was dead.
Therefore, the case of the heir to 'one for all' should be the same as mine when I injured my arm.
More energy than the body could handle, and since we were doing the same practical exam, that must mean that she was still fifteen years old, that is, a body that had not yet fully developed.
Luckily for all might, I had a nanomachine that could help his heir a lot, but it wouldn't solve the problem.
But I wouldn't give that up without getting my information.
"I see, I think I know a way to help your heir.
But I need you to tell me how many generations this power has been passed down and how it's passed on?"
I spoke with confidence in my voice as if I was asking a common question, acting in a way that looked like I knew how his Quirk worked.
And it seemed to work as he broke into a big smile.
And he easily answered my question.
"As I already informed you in the past, 'one for all' is passed on like an Olympic torch, along with me, it's been eight generations and unfortunately to be passed on, it requires a method that is a bit... Strange.
Proof of the previous user's DNA, such as saliva or hair, must be ingested. "
{The hypothesis was confirmed, proceed to the next step and deliver a nanomachine}
In the end, the system got it right, 'one for all' was a very interesting Quirk and if it were to calculate its date of origin, it probably came from the beginning of the time of the appearance of the Quirks.
Unfortunately, I still had to part with one of my saved nanomachines, I could only hope that my sacrifice was worth it.
It would also be nice if all might didn't make any drama out of what I was going to do to get the nanomachines out of my secret stash.
I grabbed my left ring finger and pulled it hard, yanking the finger out of its place.
Obviously, no blood came out, at this point of modification I was in, no blood was going to come out of my hand, removing my finger was like taking out a connected USB stick.
I would even laugh at the shocked face that All might made, but I decided to go against that idea, he might think I had gone crazy.
however, I continued doing what I intended without caring anymore about what All Might would say or think, he was the one who wanted a solution.
I pulled the finger bone out and took a small syringe, which was inserted in the middle of the bone.
After taking the syringe, I put the bone and finger back in their original places.
And All Might kept staring at me in a perplexed way.
I walked over to him as he held out his arm with the syringe in his open palm.
"Take it, this syringe contains a nanomachine produced by my Quirk, it will increase the Density and strength of your heir's bones, just advise him not to overdo it, his body is not prepared to withstand the energy he accumulated in 'one for all' ', the nanomachine won't solve the problem but it will make it much harder for the bones to break down."
I almost felt my bones crack when all might took the syringe and suddenly hugged me while letting out a loud laugh.
It was one of the most unpleasant sensations I've ever experienced in this world, feeling all that muscle squeezing me was like the first coming of hell.
And I almost got down on my knees and thanked god when all might released me.
I was definitely going to have nightmares tonight.
"Young kazuhira, I don't even know how to thank you!"
Ah, I know very well how you can thank me and that's by getting the hell away from me and putting the nanomachine in your heir's shit!
It's exactly what I wanted to tell him, for having given me such a miserable feeling.
But in the end, I was polite and spoke other words.
"I don't need thanks, I just gave a little help to the person who will inherit the mantle of the peace sign."
All might looked like he was about to cry with emotion, which would be a strange thing to see.
But I'm glad he didn't, he put a finger in his ear and I only realized now that he was wearing a headset.
"I see, I'll be there in a few minutes."
I heard all might whisper as he turned around.
Then he would have to leave soon, fine.
The sooner he gave the nanomachine to his apprentice, the better it would be for me.
After all, system, what's the point of all this?
{'One for all' seems to be a highly adaptive Quirk to other Quirks, in addition to having a probable excess of energy, it is believed that by inserting nanomachines into the 'one for all' carrier, an energy sharing network will emerge.}
I felt a shiver run down my back as I understood what the system was suggesting.
The intention was to steal 'one for all'.
{Steal is a strong word, the intention is to make 'one for all' recognize the inserted nanomachine as a Quirk and when trying to connect and absorb this Quirk, it will connect to the host's main Quirk, causing the nanomachine to absorb and replicate' one for all'.}
That made sense, the system had warned that the nanomachines were a Quirk that could be acquired by absorbing my DNA, and the nanomachines created outside my body used my blood and genetic code.
However, wouldn't I be withdrawing the Quirk from the heir of all might?
{ This is not the case, nanomachines are unable to fully absorb the 'one for all',
Only 20% will be absorbed, so the nanomachines will replicate whatever they can and merge with that copy.}
So I wouldn't end up with the future symbol of peace?
Great, so I could get stronger without major consequences.
"Young kazuhira, unfortunately, I have to retire, would you like a ride out of U.A?"
All Might turned to me and asked.
I didn't even need to think, as the answer was already on the tip of my tongue.
"No thanks for the offer, I can get out on my own and I wouldn't want to slow you down, please be careful with that syringe, they are not easily manufactured."
Go with him?
After the hug trauma?
Not really, however, I made sure to warn about the syringe, it was easy to lose due to its size and quite fragile before the force of all might, even if the syringe was tungsten.
All might smiled and with a jump, he went up to the sky.
Impressive as ever, if not understated.
With the jump he took the floor was all cracked and there was also the sonic boom that would alarm everyone.
Well, I don't think he was all that interested in being discreet.
But that wasn't my problem, I had other concerns to stress about.
Maybe I should smoke?
I knew there was no point, but the act of smoking myself made me relax and it had been a pretty busy day.
and before I knew it the cigarette was on my lips, ready to be lit.
{It is recommended that the host does not continue to smoke, using tobacco continuously to relax will generate emotional dependence and mental dependencies that cannot be treated with the help of Nanomachines.}
I ignored the system warning and lit the cigarette and took a deep drag.
And with that drag on the cigarette, I felt every muscle in my body relax and let go, making me forget for a moment about this long day.
But it was only for a brief moment and soon I was back to remembering.
Of my weakness, my unpreparedness, and my ignorance.
I couldn't help Itsuka kendo because I had forgotten an important tool, forgetting the focus was a big mistake, and my lack of strength in lifting the rubble of the building ended up marking my weakness.
My unpreparedness was marked by the lack of preparation in dealing with something that I didn't have the strength to lift and the lack of updating my eye, which was not possible to see in the dark.
And my ignorance was marked by the lack of knowledge of my past, if I hadn't used the focus, I would have missed the chance to reap great benefits and would talk nonsense while All Might wouldn't trust someone with no memory to keep such a big secret.
In a single day, I made three big mistakes.
They had not generated major consequences, but they were mistakes that should not have happened and will not happen again.
I needed to be better and stronger.
I slowly walked to the edge of the building and looked down, it was quite high, at least 40 stories.
I looked at the little ants below that were coming out of the practical test.
I was so weak that without the hardening of the nanomachines, I was only slightly stronger than the ants that swarmed down there, if I fell from here without the hardening, then only death awaited me, or maybe not, I don't think the nanomachines they would let me suffer an impact that would kill.
I sat on the edge of the building with my feet dangling freely.
I needed to improve myself.
With the power of all might, even a fraction of that power, I would be one step closer to acquiring more power and surviving in this dangerous world while becoming a better individual.
This world of heroes was very dangerous and I needed, no, I wanted to survive.
Have a normal life.
Meeting amazing people, suffering, and learning.
Falling in love, getting married, maybe having three children and who knows how to die of old age.
I had to secure that future.
Therefore, I shouldn't be lazy or moral about surviving and changing.
My body.
My morals.
They had to change.
And I knew where to start.
Something I had hesitated to do months ago.
