Midoriya's POV

I stand watching the waves, as the sun rises, on the beach I had spent all summer cleaning. I check my phone and realize that All Might is late. You'd think that a hero would be more punctual when their student says they need to talk and it was urgent. A couple of minutes pass before All Might finally shows up. He seems on edge for some reason but I just shrug it off and decide to just tell him what I wanted to say.

"I want to tell the faculty or at least Aizawa Sensei about my quirk. The full story, because it's too much stress to work with a quirk at full capacity when I literally just got it. Plus I trust UA with the secret and it's not exactly yours to keep anymore. I know you've told like three people about your quirk so I don't know why you insist on me keeping it from everyone. I get the risk of the information falling into the wrong hands but this quirk is destroying my body because I haven't received real training for it and I'm not ever going to get that training unless they know. Not to say that you're a bad mentor or anything but..."

All Might stares at me in half disbelief. "When did you become so bold Young Midoriya?" He motions for us to sit down on the sand before continuing. "I do think I'm the worst mentor. I have put off explaining everything about this quirk's past. My predecessor never got around to training me because she was killed in action against an old villain known as All for One. This villain is the same guy who left a hole in my stomach. However I believe he is out of the picture now since that battle had left us both fatally injured. The first wielder of One for All was All for One's brother. He was said to be quirkless but he still fought against all that his brother was doing. All for One had the ability to take quirks from others as well as give others quirks and so, naturally, he became the centre of the underground. This of course was hundreds of years ago when quirks had first started to appear. In order to get his brother on his side All for One gave him a power type quirk, however he still chose to fight against him. He wasn't strong enough to beat him but upon receiving a quirk he realized he wasn't actually quirkless but had a quirk that allowed him to pass his quirks on and so he did so hoping that some day the power would become great enough to defeat All for One once and for all."

"My predecessor gave me One for All a few weeks before she tried her hand at fighting All for One. But Shimura lost and had appointed a close friend to make sure I was trained properly to use the power I was given. You probably haven't heard of him but Gran Torino became a teacher at UA for a single year in order to teach me. He was brutal and would leave me vomiting after almost every combat lesson. I guess I've just been sitting more to the sides trying to let you come to know the power yourself because I disliked the harsh way I was taught. Mind you, to me it came naturally even if I was quirkless before."

My brain was trying it's hardest to process all the information that had suddenly splurged out of All Might. I couldn't help but notice that he didn't bring up telling the rest of the faculty at all which is what I wanted to discuss in the first place. It was a bit shocking to here that All Might too had been quirkless but I guess he is quite old so being born quirkless was less rare back then. I definitely didn't know who this Gran Torino was but All Might seemed a little scared of him and he must be ancient now if he taught All Might in high school.

"You had so much time to tell me all about this. Why didn't you?" I ask curious as to why he hadn't brought all of this up sooner. He seemed a little guilty as he said, "I don't like to talk about my predecessor because I feel at fault for her death. I also wasn't sure if you'd not want this power if you knew the entire goal that's been behind is since it first began. Plus I can't be one hundred percent certain that All for One died that day and there will always be a possibility that you'll have to face him someday... without me."

I raise an eyebrow at the last thing he said. Was All Might going to die? Was he searching for a successor because he knew he was going to die just like his predecessor had seemingly done? I couldn't help but tear up a bit at the possibility. "When?" I ask hoping he gets what I mean. "This year sometime." The way All Might sounded so unconcerned with the fact he was going to die struck me deeper than it would to see him have some sort of fight against it. "Do you know how?" He simply nods.
