Go beyond! HULK SMASH!!!

Chapter 4 Roaring Muscles

The number one hero, All Might. Age unknown, Quirk unidentified. He dashed onto the scene of the hero world and received unwavering popularity based on his ability. Ever since he appeared, the once critically high rate of crimes committed by villains deceased year after year, and existence itself became a deterrent. He became the Symbol of Peace in both name and reality. And that man said to me... "You can become a hero." I wanted someone to tell me that. And then, the person I most admired said those words to me. I felt relieved, I felt worthy of being alive in this society, I felt... happiness. Can anything be more shocking then this? More than this?

All Might: You are worthy to inherit my power.

Izuku: *looks slowly up* H-Huh? Inherit your power?

All Might: Hahaha, What's with that face? It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this. Listen young man. You need to decide if you want accept my power!

Izuku: What's All Might saying?

All Might: I'm talking about my power, young man. The tabloits called it "superhuman strength" and a "boost,'' and I constantly dodged the question during interviews with a funny joke. Because the Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be natural-born hero. But young man, I will tell you the truth. My quirk was passed on to me like scared torch.

Izuku: It was passed on to you?

All Might: That's right. And next, it is your turn.

Izuku: Wait! Wait a minute! It's true that your quirk is something hotly debated as one the world's greatest mysteries. So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online. But, well, I don't really understand what you mean by inheriting or passing on a quirk... I've never heard of anything like that before, and it's never even conjectured in the debate. Why is that? Is it because since the dawn of history, a quirk like that was never confirmed? In the first place, it's... *muter muter*

All Might: You always start with denial, huh? Nonsense! I may hide a lot of things, but I don't lie! Except that one time but that doesn't matter. The power to transfer power... That's the quirk I inherited! I was blessed with "One For All"!

Izuku: "One For All"...

All Might: That's right... One person cultivates the power and passes it on to another person, who also cultivates it and passes it on. It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart.

Izuku: Why are you giving me something so great?

All Might: I have been looking for a successor. And then, I thought it would be all right for you to inherit it. You thought you could never be a hero, but what I saw you doing back. Jumping into acting without knowing what to do. But you were more heroic than anyone else back there! And having a powerful quirk awaken inside you is also nice benefactor to add up. With the right training to control your quirk and One For All. I truly believe you have it in you to be next Symbol of Peace! Never mind! Well it's up to you, though. What'll you do?

Izuku: Am I worthy of that kind of power...? I don't even know how to control my own quirk, what if I go on another rampage and using One For All... That would be disastrous... But... he said so much to encourage me, and even told me his secret... i... need to train... I need to control IT, if I'm under control of it and being able to use One For All on it... I can save everyone, I could make the world a better place... there... isn't... there's no reason for me to turn him down!

Izuku: I'll do it!

All Might: An immediately reply. That's what I thought you'd say!

But It was no easy task to receive his power.
