14 Chapter 14 The Talk

Tomura Shigaraki POV

Damn it damn damn it!! " Master, you were wrong! His strength didn't diminish at all. He took on the Nomu and defeat it easily."

All for One: " Now, now calm down a little Tomura. What happened to the Nomu."

Kurogiri, " He was sent flying. Even with my warp ability, I couldn't find him."

" Yeah, there was even a kid with a lot of talent there that was able to contend with the nomu for a brief period of time."

All for one: " Hoh~, did he have similar power to All Might?"

" No, he was a lot weaker."

All for One: " Hahaha, I see. Well, Tomura, if you fail, you can just try again. Fail as much as you want, it won't matter because I am here for you Tomura."

" Yes master, I will do better next time."

After the arrival of the teachers, the villains scattered across the building was captured and managed to help the students in time. The class didn't receive any major injuries except for Izuku who was thrown by the Nomu and was now being healed. Everyone discussed about where they were sent and how they dealt with the villains. The police was there asking them questions about the attack and making sure that they were okay and not experiencing any trauma.

Izuku POV

Resting on the bed, I stared at the ceiling thinking about my strength and things that I need to improve on. First and foremost, I think it's about time I start to focus on my haki. Although I did some training for it in the past, it never developed. However, after fighting several of those villains, I started to notice some slight changes in my body and everything around me. With just enough push, I think I can unlock observation haki. Since armamant haki is based on physical strength and envisioning an invisible armor on them, I can also train harder in that too.

All Might who was also resting beside me was resting up and being healed. He stared long and hard at the ceiling and then looked towards me. " Young Midoriya, there's something that we should talk about."

Hearing the seriousness of his voice, I knew it had to do something with the voice that was behind the sudden portal, I asked him, " Is there someone worse than Shigaraki and that nomu?"

All Might got a little surprised by that statement and gathered himself together before continuing, " Yes, how did you know."

" That Nomu was the strongest 'person' that I have seen in my life. Even when watching your previous fights on the internet and tv, I have never seen you fight that hard. Even then, it didn't manage to seriously injure you. Besides managing to hit your weak spot, it didn't stand a chance against you. Seeing the overly confident villain that invaded, I'm assuming that his backing must be someone even stronger than Nomu."

All Might, " Very good thinking Young Midoriya. Indeed there must be someone behind that villain. When I heard the voice that came out from behind that portal, seeing the 'nomu' that possessed my level of strength and multiple quirks, it can only be him."

" Him?"

All Might, " Yes, the one that caused the injury that I showed you. I had thought that I already finished him off... But it looks like he survived!" All Might clenched his fists tightly.

" All Might... Do you have some history with that person?"

All Might sighed as he checked outside really quickly before coming back and faced me, " It's a long story, are you ready? It has to do with the origin of One for All and the biggest enemy that I have faced in my life."

Still feeling slightly tired from being healed, I shook it off as best as I could and sat up in bed and also faced him. Although this talk is happening early than expected, it just means that All Might is just that confident in me... or that he feels like we will have to face against him soon. " Yes, All Might. Tell me."

He began narrating me like in the cannon about how it started before the current society even was formed. How people lived in fear and was terrorized by one man who was able to manipulate several people and caused misery and pain to innocent people. It was also the person's younger brother who had a strong belief in justice and received a quirk from his manipulative brother and that younger brother started to cultivate the quirk while passing it down person by person, who also stood against the brother. It wasn't until All Might received the quirk and managed to defeat the person but at a cost too.

Hearing the whole story about the quirk and who All Might fought against, I said to him, " All Might, I know that at my current state, I am nowhere near your level. However, I am just starting and I will get even stronger. Since you chose me as your successor it is only natural that I carry your burden too. I will be even better and protect this country and people from ever digressing back to a state of fear and terror once you lose all your power.

I placed my hands on his shoulders and showed him my determination. I knew that he might've been worried that All for One is back again and I wanted to give him my confidence that even if something happened to him, I will be able to bear the burden that he leaves behind.

All Might looked at me with eyes that slightly wavered which then grew more confident, " Yes young Midoriya, I believe in you."

After this, since I was healed up and ready to go, I left the room and began heading home.

The next day, it was a school day off because of the event. Since All Might had meetings all day, I went to the park and started to punch trees while imagining coating my arm in invisible armor, training to armament haki. Without using my quirk I started hitting the tree over and over again after getting a clear image in my head. I know it was described as also a kind of spiritual energy like a will of some kind so I also tried to let out some feeling in that too. Punching for several hours with all my strength has left my fists bleeding heavily but I didn't care as there was no result. It wasn't until late at night that I felt a surge of energy coursing out of me and through my arms.

It was already dark so I didn't notice any changed on my arms but I know that I felt some type of power covering my arm. I knew it wasn't my quirk because then the power would envelop my whole body. I have been training my quirk for long enough to notice when I use it or not. I then punched the tree with all my strength and fist tore straight through the large tree, causing it to fall over to the side. With this, I felt no pain when I hit the tree. I looked at my fist carefully as I became excited. I finally did it. It took me so long to learn armament haki. What was the change though? It was something that was a little difficult to understand. Although I didn't train any haki too hard over the past but I did try to as I wanted to develop more battle sense. I then began to notice what was the difference and that was the battle against Nomu and the villains. Fighting them, mostly the Nomu must have pushed my will to its limits this time and made me strong enough to be able to use armament haki.

Now I am basically have no opponents. Unless the person is able to overpower me, I won't be able to get hurt no more. I know I still have some training to do to ensure that I can use every time I will it to but this is a big step for me.
