That night Izuku sat on one of the benches on Dagoba beach. He stared blankly at the beach scene without moving a bit. In his hand was the hunter's license he had just received.

Although he has officially become an S-rank Hunter, Izuku is not happy at all. Not with the amount of attention he got.

Today is probably the most tiring day for him. After dealing with chairman Matsumoto, he had to deal with the reporters waiting for him outside the bureau office. It took several hours for him to get out of the crowd.

And just before he's about to leave, Kiyoko calls him saying she's throwing a celebration party for him. If possible Izuku doesn't want to go, but since Kiyoko had rented a fancy restaurant and even invited his friends, he had no choice but to leave.

When Izuku arrived there, almost all of his friends had already gathered. They immediately congratulated Izuku on his promotion. Seeing the large number of people gathered around, Izuku just smiled while hiding his fatigue.

The party went smoothly, but it didn't take long for it to turn into chaos. No one expected that Daichi would bring alcohol even if Kiyoko strictly prohibited any alcohol at this party. But in the end, a few people were drunk and the party should end soon.

Izuku couldn't help but sigh remembering what he had to go through today.

' What a tiring day '

As he was lost in thought, he felt a presence approaching him. When he turned his head, he could see Todoroki walking towards him.

" as expected you were here "

" Todoroki-san? how do you know I'm here? "

" Don't you always come here when you're had a lot of thought? "

" As expected of my friend, you know me well "

" You want me to kill you "

" I'm kidding "

" By the way, congratulations on becoming an S-rank "

"Don't mention it"

" Why? you seem to not happy about it "

" Not really, so why are you looking for me, I'm sure you're not here just to congratulate me right? "

" you're right, I honestly have a question for you "

" Coincidentally, I also have something I want to tell you. "

" Really, what is that? "

" You go first, mine can wait "

" fine then "

" So, what are you going to ask? "

" It's about your power "

The air between them became cold, Izuku felt a serious atmosphere from the expression that Todoroki made. But despite that, Izuku tried to stay calm.

" how about that? "

" Your power, that is the power that can resurrect the dead, right? "

Izuku was shaken as he heard what Todoroki said. His surprised face disappeared and left only a faint smile. He had expected someone to notice the nature of his strength from the moment he showed his abilities to the public, so he could only smile when his closest friend asked this.

" That's right, I can resurrect the dead back to life "

" Then... does that also apply to humans "

Once again Todoroki looked at Izuku with a serious face. There was a hint of anger in his tone, but Izuku remained calm regardless of how Todoroki reacted.
