80 Chapter 80

Nejire was on her way with Kenshiro's clone, constantly looking at his back. No matter how many times she looked at the clone, she couldn't distinguish between him and her husband.

"I'm wondering, Kenshiro-san… Kenshiro's clone-san?" Nejire coughed a bit, preparing to ask a question.

"I'm him with all of his memories and personality. Anything that happens to me he'll experience again in his memories. So, just Kenshiro would be enough," replied Kenshiro's clone.

"I see." She tightened her gaze. "Did you ever use this technique to go on a date with me, or skip school?"

'He's many girls showing interest in him. I've to be careful if he ever decided to use this.' Thought Nejire like any wife would do. It's not like she didn't trust Kenshiro. But she didn't trust the other girls. He's filthy rich, which was enough for him to be targeted. And she'd wanted to know if Kenshiro had ever sent a clone to date her. It meant that he could slip from her radar.

The clone giggled like the real Kenshiro would. "It's not a bad idea."

"Ha, ha." Laughing lifelessly, she rolled her eyes. But she got her answer. It simply meant no.

"On another thought, I don't like feeling my clone having time with you while I take the experience. It's like watching porn through a VR," added Kenshiro. "I prefer experiencing it in person… Well, that's what my real self prefers."

Nejire smiled, her cheeks turning slightly.

The clone gave her a side eye, as if he's asking if she's seriously flattered at a time when they have to save kids.

"Let's save the kids now," Nejire let out an excited cry, raising her fist.

"That's the spirit," replied the clone.

As they were walking in the hall, an imposing figure of a man taller than 2 meters appeared. He was topless and had spiky hair and eyes completely white. He was bulging with muscles, and his skin seemed to be covered in a hard matter that shielded his skin.

"You're not going to pass," he said, seemingly growing in size.

"He's the same type as Mt. Lady," remarked Nejire, extending her hands, ready to shoot a shock wave.

Kenshiro's clone held her hand and lowered it.

"And he's brain dead." The clone's eyes turned red for a second, making eye contact with the growing man.

He stopped growing, and he froze.

Nejire had learned about the abilities aura gave his eyes. One of them was to show people illusions, mentally blocking them from doing things.

The man shrunk back to his original size, falling to his knees.

"Master. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you! Please, forgive me," said the guard.

"I'll let it slip for now. Now, reflect on your mistakes," Kenshiro mused as he walked to him, putting his hand on his head.

The man shrunk a bit more, turning into a normal-sized human, who was still crying. He seemed to have loosened up on his shield-like skin.

Nejire had always wondered how many applications Kenshiro could do. She had always believed that her quirk was quite astonishing, allowing her to fly and exert high destructive power. In front of Kenshiro, however, she was like a little girl compared to a giant. And what's more, he'd awakened his quirk not so long ago.

'I admire him honestly.' She tilted her head, smiling.

After leaving the guard crying, they entered a large room that seemed to be a lab. Children and adults seemed to be resting outside of the lab. Another clone of Kenshiro was standing there, looking at them surprised.

"You shouldn't have come. I'm more than sufficient for the job," said clone number 1.

"That's why the guard was there, idiot," replied the 2nd clone with a mocking tone, pointing behind him.

Nejire wondered whose side Kenshiro would take when he takes on their memory. God, she wanted to ask so bad.

"Come on, he came from your direction. It's your fault, dummy," said clone number 1.

"Whatever," shrugged clone number 2.

"Anyways, I've found Ragdoll. She's lost her quirk, but her condition is fine," Clone number 1 said.

Number two gave him a thumbs up. "Good job."

Both of the clones turned to Nejire, saying, "Now, it's your job to call the rescue team."

They both vanished into thin air, turning into a puff of smoke. Nejire blinked twice. She then crossed her arms on her chest, feeling abandoned all of a sudden. She'd surely rant later to Kenshiro about how he could do that twice to her. She reached for her phone and dialed the number which Kenshiro had given her in case of emergency. It was All Might's.

When he picked up, she told him everything, starting from how they found the secret base of the villains to who they fought.

All Might yelled when she mentioned All for One. "You fought who!"

"All for One. I'll be honest, I thought he'd be more challenging. But Kenshiro took care of him," Nejire reported.

"That doesn't make sense. Are you under a mind-confusing quirk? Try slapping yourself," All Might urged.

"Anyway, I've sent you the location in a letter. Don't be late." With that said, she hung up the call.

Just as she crossed her arms, before she could even reach the middle of her thoughts chain, she felt a mini-earthquake.

The people around started looking at each other. It seemed that she wasn't the only one to feel that.

A behemoth of a man entered. All Might smiled, looking at the children and the hostages, who seemed to come to life.

"Worry not! I am here!" yelled All Might with a vigorous voice.

Those who had been hosted here, who had been gloomy, smiled happily after seeing All Might. That man for sure had an aura that could make people feel hope.

All Might then approached Nejire and asked, "Where is Kenshiro?"

"I'll take you there," she said, flying in the direction of that room.

'Okay. I'm done making up an excuse for why I am capable of changing people's gender and looks in general. Call it the permanent transformation trick.' I looked at All for One, who seemed to be pondering if his life had been a lie.

I've surely made some outrageous modifications to his body, ensuring that he'll never be able to harm any person.

Not only that, but I modified his brain, making the part responsible for fear more wired, and the part responsible for willpower has fewer wires. I thought about what kind of evil All for One was. From the other timeline, just a little action of his in the anime had killed countless people. Whether it be ordering that giant man or casually fighting with All Might.

Since he's been living for centuries, God knows how many he's made suffer.

Usually, I'd let those villains be. But when I realized what Tomura was about to do to me, it made me reflect on myself. The things he wanted to do to me were horrible. Just thinking about another innocent person like me being exposed to things like that made me feel bad. If I didn't kill them, I'd make sure to cripple them.

-x-X-x-

All Might, who came as fast as he could, ran after Nejire.

Ever since he heard about her report, he had been doubtful. No, he'd been full of anxiety. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Kenshiro took care of All For One.

All Might believed that All for One used a mind-confusing quirk on Nejire and Kenshiro to set a trap. Contrary to his expectations, when he arrived here, he found a bunch of Nomus laying down. But that alone wasn't enough to clear his doubts. It's possible that All for One threw the Nomu bodies here to make the trap more realistic.

'Kenshiro Shonen, I'll save you.' Thought All Might. He felt the urge to do his best to save the man who married a day ago. He was at the peak of his youth, and he should be able to enjoy.

Then, he arrived at a very large room.

Kenshiro was sitting, arms crossed.

In front of him was an Amazonian woman on her knees and hands. She had white hair and red eyes, and a well-muscled build. In some sense, she resembled All for One. She had the same eyes and hair. The only difference was a large bulge around the chest area.

"Toshinori." She turned to All Might, muttering. "Save me."

What's going on? All Might put his hand on his head.

Beaming, Kenshiro turned to All Might. "About the look-changing technique that I used at USJ. I found a way to make it permanent. Also, I disabled all the quirks of his… hers now."

'Wait.' All Might knew about the technique when Kenshiro turned into Tomura and the latter turned into the former. He then looked at the woman, realizing one thing.

Kenshiro then walked to the woman and touched her. In a matter of seconds, she turned into a male All for One. But he was healed completely. All Might felt that his assumption of Kenshiro being mind-confused was wrong. It was him who became confused.

'Although I know that he's bluffing All for One by changing his look, I think he used an illusion on him to convince him that he's quirkless. As for healing, he could do that, so he might have healed him and then won using an illusion.' All Might refused to believe that Kenshiro's quirk could change gender as well, but if it's based on changing looks, so be it. But if it confused the enemy, so be it.

As long as the evil was captured and prevented from causing further harm, so be it.

"So, which one do you prefer?" Asked Kenshiro with a smile, patting the head of All for One, whose eyes streamed with tears.

"I prefer to have a dozen of paracetamol," said All Might.

"Me too," nodded Nejire, utter confusion on her face. But she shook her head and seemed to shrug it off.

"Save me," pleaded All for One. Usually, All for One wouldn't act like this or break down. It seemed that somehow Kenshiro had messed up All for One's mental state to make him feel fear. That, or it could be that after their last fight, All for One had sustained brain damage and his personality changed.

For now, they'll take him to jail and save the children around.
