During the time that UA were taking their licensing exam, All Might visited All for one at Tartarus, a special prison for villain criminals, to discuss something.

All might faced all for one through the window as All for one said causally "The second Semester must be starting soon. Or has it already begun? I assumed that you would devote yourself to teaching now. And yet you've come to visit me."

All Might glares at him and spoke up "I'm here so we can get a few things straight, All For One"

The two enemies stared at eachother, as All for one still smiled as usual

"Do you know how stifling this place is, All Might? If I so much as try to scratch an itch by rubbing my body against this chair, then every gun nuzzle in my cell block suddenly points at me. My brain waves are constantly being monitored along with my vital signs. One thought about activating my Quirk, and I'll likely be put down like a rabid dog. Imprisoned deep underground, smothered by layers of Hi-Tech security. Not even a bit of stimulation for my mind. The world likens this place to something out of a Greek myth, calling it Tartarus. Thats the name of the underground prison where kings and titans were punished. Escaping would be a struggle even for me." All for one said

"You're trapped here. You'll never go free." All might said

All for one then chuckles a bit "I'll let you believe that. So, what now?  Let's hear what you have to say. Where's Gran Torino? You came here alone? And in a costume, no less. Please don't tell me you're still trying to be a hero with that feeble body."

"You're Chatty."

"Don't feel flattered. I just haven't had anyone to talk to in a while. "

"I want answers. Tell me where Tomura Shigaraki is hiding right now." All might demanded

"Haven't the slightest. Unlike your bird, mine left the nest and make his own decisions, even know his desires." all for one said

"What are you trying to achieve? What are you going for now? Your body should have died a long time ago, yet you preserve it. You devote your time to exploiting and controlling people, toying with innocent lives for no reason. Why?" All might questions

All for one answered "of course you came here with a tired topic. Even if I told you the truth, you wouldn't be satisfied. There are some people who'll never understand eachother."

His answer made All Might glare at him more

"We are the same. Though you'd never admit it. Just as you longest to become the hero of justice, I longed to be an all-powerful devil. It's that simple. I had and ideal, and the power to see it enacted. If I could live forever inside my dream, then why would I begrudge the effort to make it a reality?"

"Why would you need a successor, then?"

"You of all people ask that?" All for one laughed "what a laugh. It's because you took everything from me. Look at my body. I'm alive, yes. But only because of tubes and machines. After you appeared, my Infinite Potential suddenly became finite. It's normal to pass your work onto someone else when the end is near. Think of it as inheritance. Like the estate you pass down. Or the well sewn field, planted by one person and cultivated from generation to generation. I'm just trying to do what everyone else on this planet is already doing, nothing more."

One of the prisoner guards announced in the room "you've got three minutes left, All Might."

"Oh come now, don't put a damper on things.  I want to keep talking. The world was probably pretty shaken up by your retirement, so let's hear it. How are things actually looking on the outside?" All for one said causally
