Chapter 69

I liked how peaceful it was here. But I didn't like the fact that I may be considered the candidate to be the one who holds this peace up.

As I grew up in this world, I was aware that the crime rate was high because of the Quirks. But that was suppressed down by one very strong person who happened to be All Might, who devoted his life to bring peace to this country. That was something good, as I had been able to enjoy the normal life with less worry because of heroes.

Honestly, knowing that All Might was sick, injured, and on the verge of death was something I hadn't ever expected to hear.

I mean, I thought of it.

I would have to stay here in Japan, fight crimes day and night, and turn from a part-time hero to a full one. No offence All Might, but I don't want to end up as a single old man with no kids, just like you, while others can build a life on my back.

That sounded a lot of work and sacrifice. That was the responsibility coming from being the Symbol of Peace, and it sounded much for my lifestyle, as I only want to live my life in a good way.

But, I couldn't just leave All Might after he had told me his story.

Just think of it, once he's done from his hero career, it would turn up chaos in this country which I lived at, which would also lead me to do a lot of work if the crime rate rose.

All Might had stated that his injury was beyond repair. This meant that science has failed. Yet, Healing Martial arts weren't known to this world. After the USJ incident where I had been injured internally and externally, to the degree that I may be crippled if I didn't have this, I realised the extent of my power.

Looking at the naïve – real – face of All Might I let a sigh and just told him to continue his job. It would be good if he kept the peace outside for me.

But for that, I decided to guarantee that he would do his job until death.

In a blink, I stopped the time, appeared in front of him, and slammed with my little finger to his rib.

"Wha…" All Might looked surprised. He struggled to breathe as he held his stomach and fell on his knees.

"It'll be over, in no time." I said, "Soon, you'll be able to breathe."

I picked up my phone and called the kitchen of the school.

After the USJ incident, I had made sure to keep their numbers with me.

Very soon, someone picked up the call.

As All Might seemed to start breathing, I gave him a glance.

*Shrk* *Shrk*

A cracking sound could be heard. All Might threw up a lot of blood.

I turned my attention to the phone once the chef asked me why I had called.

"Yes… All Might is hungry and wants some food. We're at the back yard of G1 building."

"All Might… then count on me."

I shut the phone after hearing the reply.

"Lee… You…" All Might struggled to stand up, but then, he stopped when his ribs started to crack, and yellow sparks were dancing there around his stomach.

These are my Ripples, doing their healing effect. I didn't know if this would work, but it should be as if I remember right, when I used on myself, plants grew in my hand.

But first, I had to clear one thing to the old blonde man.

"Listen, I have no interest in taking the job of an old man like you." I'm a lazy person whose parent is still taking care of until now.

(O)

All Might gave Lee a glance as the teenager turned his back at him.

The pain which he had been feeling was vanishing after he puked blood.

His stomach and respiratory system were somehow getting fixed with some broken ribs.

'What's going on,' All Might thought. He was confused. But then, he looked at his skinny arms and saw that muscle was growing.

He was healing! How could this be possible, even the Healing Girl couldn't help him. But now, that yellow sparks, which came from his finger, were working on his body.

All Might found that words were leaving his mouth.

'It's his Aura.'

That was the only explanation. First, he had witnessed this power ageing and messing with Nomu's body. Now, it was messing with his body, but in a positive way.

All Might looked at his muscles that were growing while something yellow was dancing around them, and he was feeling hungry… this feeling, his stomach was back, and he could breathe.

Lee was sarcastic as always as he had ordered food and was about to leave. But then stopped for a second and turned.

"Don't tell anyone about this," Lee said, "I don't want to spend my time in hospital. I've enough annoyance in my life already."

"Kiddo." All Might stood up slowly, no pain was felt. His appearance now was somewhere a middle between his skinny and buffed form.

In All might's eyes, Lee was clearly providing help, yet gave those words because he was shy about them… or he didn't want villains to know about his medical ability.

Well, it wasn't important since there are others with such powers. But only this one could help him.

"Young Lee. We all know that you're a good person, stop acting like a shy tsundere. Stop denying it."

"Geez." Lee clicked his tongue and said coldly. "Just do your job, I'm not a good person. Stop asking me to take your job."

All Might turned his head and spat some blood.

'Yeah, keep acting shy… not good person, what a joke.'

Honestly, he was happy. He looked at Lee and almost shred tears in front of the kid, if not that he considers himself a strong symbol that shouldn't wither.

All Might bowed and said, "I won't promise of that." That's right, he hadn't told him about his Quirk which can give him strength, but Lee seemed to be the kind of a good person.

Very soon, a robot arrived with a group of meals. All Might smirked and turned toward the food. This smell was the only thing that kept him from believing this was a dream. He wasn't done from healing as he needed to eat. If this is real, then by the end of this healing process, he won't be skinny anymore.

"Kiddo… hehe." All Might smirked, "I'll give you extra notes. You've passed my class."

Anyway, to All Might, meeting Lee was better than meeting Midoriya.

Had he chose the latter quickly, then he wouldn't heal.

Tomorrow, All Might would test working for a full shift again.

Lee turned and a smile was drawn on his face upon mentioning the marks.

***

"Good Grief." I turned my back and left all Might to eat alone.

Now, finally, I got rid of the responsibility of taking All Might's job.

I wasn't a good person in the first place to enter hero school, so let alone doing his job. He must be crazy to set his eye on me.

But whatever. I had to go. I picked my car and left the school lands before going to meet Itsuka.

Anyway, tonight I'll pick up some random place to spend the vacation at. I wasn't in hurry to choose, but Mt Lady's night calls seemed to affect my thinking about where to work as intern.

I'll just see where this going to end once I get home. But first, I have a date to finish.
