The Emperor's Dragon

Solutions: Possible and Impossible

"I have need of your services, Doctor."

Garaki turned to see All For One. "Yes, Sensei?" The man didn't often say he needed something. Usually he expected things to be done but occasionally he would ask. Then he expected perfection.

"It occurs to me that my main issue with the change of shape quirk was not the inability to use another quirk but the shift back. The lack of medication caused me to collapse," All For One announced.

"That is true," Kyudai agreed. Sensei had collapsed because he had been unable to reconnect the oxygen tube and the various drug injectors he was reliant on.

"Then I will need your assistance with the use of the quirk."

That was just like Sensei. He simply decided to do things and expected everyone else to accommodate that. In this case however, it was a simple matter.

"I should be able to facilitate that," Garaki told the other man. "Drug dispensers have been added to your life support helmet," he said.

Izuku had given him the updated designs from his friend. Whoever they were, they knew what they were doing. They were innovative and the design was both practical and functional. As an investment, Izuku had made a very good choice. He had, of course, added an exoskeleton to the design, armoring over the delicate parts because there was no way Sensei would not use his increased mobility to fight. Or, at the very least, to put straying underlings back in their place.

Sensei smiled. Kyudai felt relieved at that expression. All For One had asked for improvements a while back and he had been... he'd been doing his best but mechanical engineering was not his forte!

"I will try it before I go then," Sensei announced.

"Go?" Garaki couldn't help but ask.

"I have need to put in an official appearance before I am declared missing," Sensei said with a grin. He thought it was funny, and it was. Those seeking to take his assets would learn quite a bit about the legal system, even if they were government.

"Your taxes are paid?" Kyudai joked.

"Of course they are, Doctor."

He smiled in return. It appeared that the government, or rather the HPSC might have declared Hisashi Riji missing but the Taxation Department hadn't. A fight between the two behemoths of government would be quite interesting.

"I take it that if Hisashi Riji is not missing, his son Izuku Midoriya can't be missing either?" the Doctor asked.

"Of course not. I will instruct my lawyers to draw up official change of name documentation for Izuku and back date it, as well as sole guardianship papers."

The Doctor nodded. That made sense. While Sensei's lawyers were a very well respected and legitimate business, they had dealt with the underworld long enough to know how to handle these things. And from a safety point of view, a trip to see his lawyers should be safe enough.

"With my Little Dragon-"

Kyudai's good feeling vanished. He knew that tone. He cocked his head slightly.

"While I appreciate that for good scientific method you were obligated to give him another strength quirk, I would appreciate it if you would not give him others."

"Sensei?" Garaki asked. This wasn't quite what he expected.

"You have tested Izuku with two identical strength quirks, and found out that he does not get any benefit from the second one, once it is absorbed, correct?" All For One lifted one hand and tapped at his chin.
