-3rd POV-

"It was only a short time, but thank you for taking care of me!" Midoriya said.

Torino let out a yawn and looked at the male, "I don't feel like I did anything I need to be thanked for. Your internship ended up the way it did, too."

"No, it was thanks to your instruction in ideas and your continuous sparring with me that I was able to do something even against the hero killer." The teen said, before his ankle was hit by the older male's walking stick, "Ow...!"

"Against a hero killer that wasn't serious! Well, it was better than if you tried for a single killer shot at 100% and then ended up missing, I guess I should say. But that arm had stress fractures, didn't it? At the last minute you went over the permitted 5% limit."

"Nag Nag Nag"

"You still strain yourself in your impatience, and when you lose focus, your control wavers." He kept scolding, while the green haired male sweatdropped, "You must always be alert and calm. I'm sure you already know this, but if you want to become a great hero like All Might, then you still have a lot to learn."

"Yes, sir!"

"See you around." Torino said, nodding, before turning around.

"C-Can I ask you o-one last thing?" Midoriya stuttered, making the male look at him, "I thought it was rude, so I never got a chance to ask...I could never find a good time for it, but..." He muttered.

"Hurry up! I want to eat taiyaki!"

"Even though you're really strong and even trained All Might, the name "Gran Torino" is almost u-unknown...Is there a reason for that?"

"Oh, that's because I was never interested in working as a hero." The older male said, bluntly.

"What?!"

"I had a goal in the past that required me to be able to use my quirk freely. That was the only reason I got my license. It'd be better to hear more about this from Toshi—" He cut himself off, "I mean, All Might. Expect more from him."

"All Might..."

"That's al! Be well!"

"Yes, sir! Thank you very much! Excuse me!"

"Oh, and tell my favorite granddaughter hello!"

"Yes, sir!" Midoriya said, before turning to leave.

'The greatest hero, huh...? You're completely different in appearance and personality, but he certainly is just like you, Toshinori. That man chosen by my sworn friend...And the one that man chose to inherit One For All...' Torino thought, before calling out to the teen, making them turn, "Kid! Who are you?"

"You're asking now?! Um, well...I'm Midoriya Izu—"

"That's not it, is it?"

"Huh...?" The teen said, confused, before realizing, "I'm Deku!"

The older male smiled and walked towards the door, waving at him, 'Let's watch over him together, Toshinori. Until the day you pass into history...Until the day the name "Deku" is celebrated as the Symbol of Peace...'

Kirishima and Sero busted out laughing.

"Seriously?! Seriously, Bakugo?!" The two said.
