I Refuse.

------------------------------------------

"But how?"

"How will you give proper punishment?"

He asked Yoriichi with a serious tone visible in his voice.

Hearing this Yoriichi took a sip at his tea.

'Delicious.'

He thought.

Yoriichi then looked at Allmight straight in the eye with absolute confidence and asked a question.

"Toshinori-san Do you know this thing called the principle of equivalent exchange?"

He said. Allmight then nodded at him.

"When I got up on the top, NO on my way to the top I will implement this, any level of crime they commit will be the judging value of what punishment they will receive. If they commit petty thievery then all they get is a simple punishment but if they commit murder, r*pe, and other unforgivable crimes then I will have no choice but to give them a death sentence."

Absolute confidence. His words didn't even waver and most of all he casually mentioned that he will bring death to a criminal in front of the No.1 hero.

It was simply astonishing how this young man can say this.

Allmight then is said.

"Your method of this is quite radical Yoriichi."

"I wouldn't say radical, more like Logical."

---Allmight's Pov---

Yoriichi is right but his intended method is unorthodox.

Using violence to solve problems will just breed more violence.

Yoriichi is mature and wise but his view is not something I can quite approve of.

What this world needs is a hero who will bring peace not by violence but by wiseness, compassion, and hope but those too need some violence but not to the extent of what Yoriichi wants.

The villain should be put in prison but they should not be killed.

But I will do my best to change Yoriichi's mind. I need to tell him that there is another method.

---End Of Pov---

"Yoriichi do you want power?" Allmight asked with utmost seriousness both in his tone and his voice.

"Of course Toshinori-san I want power because power is what will fuel my goal and be my stairs to reach it" Answered the boy.

Then Allmight after hearing this gave a very surprising word that even Yoriichi who was expecting the worst-case scenario got very surprised.

"Then be my successor"

It was like cold water was poured down his spine when he heard this, not in a one hundred scenario did he think that this would happen.

Clear shock and confusion arose on the young man's face as his previous calm and collected demeanor changed.

Then Allmight continued.

"My quirk is something I have inherited it was something that helped me bring peace to this land and now I am offering you to be the next holder of this quirk and be the next symbol under the condition of reconsidering your planned method to achieve your justice."

No matter how exaggerated words he picked to describe this situation is not enough to describe how ridiculous he is feeling right now.

First of all. He has only met Yoriichi for about a couple of months.

Second. Why would he reveal something so important to him so casually?

And third. He plans to make him his successor just to change his view and the method he intends to secure his 'Justice'.

But Yoriichi used every of his willpower to regain himself and replied this time his words hold more confidence than the last one and even Allmight himself who have just dropped a bomb at him didn't expect it.

He took a deep breath and sigh, his face then changed for a second weirdly looking like a certain anime character from series who have a character who loves to stop time and shout ZA WARUDO!!.

"Daga Kotowaru"

OH MY G*D Is that a mother-effing Jojo reference!!.

Ha just kidding.

"W-why Yoriichi," Allmight asked very shocked and confused at the same time.

"Toshinori-san If I did inherit your quirk and did become the no.1 hero then can I proudly call this power mine and mine alone? can I say to the world that all of this was the result of my hard work and my own 'power'?"

"The answer is No Toshinori-san instead I would be ashamed of myself. I planned to use my 'Own' power to reach my goal and dream, relying on someone's strength was never a part of my plan."

"I did not spend my entire life honing my sword to be replaced by someones quirk."
