"Second Smartest?" Nezu asks, his tone sending shivers down all the teachers' spines.

'Do not go there kid.' Power Loader thinks to himself.

'That right there is a one way trip to hell.' Vlad sighs, pitying the kid.

"Yeah, you are the second smartest being on earth. Even with the mutations and quirks you have." Izuku responds.

"Really? Then who would be above me?" Nezu questions.

"All Might and Gran Torino should know the answer to that." Izuku smirks.

"You don't mean-" All Might exclaims.

"Who's he talking about?" Midnight asks Mic, who simply shrugs.

"I'm talking about All For One, Ms. Midnight." Izuku answers. "You know the dude that injured All Might 6 years ago? And you can drop the form too."

"H-How do you know about that?" All Might asks.

"Unlike the rest of the world, we've had access to the real history of the world. Unabridged. Unaltered. With first-hand experiences of people from before the Dark Ages." Izuku answers.

'I-Impossible. There are only 2... no 3 groups of people that would know about this.... Could these children be from... Please don't let them be what I think they are.' All Might thinks to himself as he lets go of his muscle form. "Care to clarify why you think he is the smartest?" All Might asks, as his expression darkens a bit.

"It's pretty simple, and you of all people should know this All Might. All For One has been alive for almost 2 centuries now? And he has used that time to create an empire so large that it spans the world and not just Japan. From international criminal groups like the Kaiohs to groups restricted to a country, All For One has his influence everywhere." Izuku explains.

All Might's eyes widen in shock. 'He knows about them too?!'

"The only other group that is remotely close to his so-called empire, at least in today's world is the Meta Liberation Army and not even they have the same influence as him. And on top of that, he's avoided capture for most of the time heroes have been around and even before that." Izuku answers.

Everyone looks at Nezu, waiting for him to respond. "HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" Nezu cackles, confusing everyone. "You're an interesting bunch, most people here won't even dare to speak against me! Then again I do own them since I pay them. " He chuckles. "I do agree that All For One is smart, he does have the advantage of experience over me but in a one on one with enough information and time, I'm pretty sure even someone like him can be taken down by someone like me."

"That is true. Given enough information, time, the element of surprise, resources which collectively sum up to about 5 billion dollars, a small army of 100 of the worlds best heroes, including everyone from the world's top 15, the world's combined military forces and about 35 thousand human lives as collateral, I'm sure you'd be able to win." Izuku answers, shocking the teachers once again. "But didn't you already try that 6 years ago?"

"Watch your tone kid." Vlad shouts, only to get ignored by Izuku.

"If it were that easy to capture All For One, wouldn't the revolutionaries from back in the Dark Ages have caught him? Unlike today, where everyone has access to the internet and it's easy to hack into street cameras due to shitty firewalls, anyone can figure out who's where and combine that with an expert lip reader, you not only know who's where but also what's being discussed. That's how All For One won the first battle, the one against Paragon about 30 something years ago." Izuku continues.
