To the public, it was told that All Might had defeated All for One, and the villain was now captured in Tartarus, thanks to Kuro's "teleportation".

Speaking of, Kuro was currently in a hospital, with Jirou and Toshinori by his side, as he was resting on a bed. Kuro had passed out for three days due to exhaustion.

Jirou: So, All for One is really... gone?

Toshinori: I believe so, yes.

Jirou: Then this is great! I mean, apart from your retirement, Mr. Yagi, this means that we can go to UA just like we usually did and not have the villain's eyes upon us at all times!

Kuro: ... Jirou...

Jirou looks at the boy.

Kuro: I... I'm not going back to UA...

Toshinori: I figured you'd say such a thing...

Jirou: W... What do you mean...?

Kuro: All for One is gone, yes. But that's only temporary. He has a plan of being reborn in the body of Tomura Shigaraki.

Jirou: What?!

Kuro: Yes... he said so himself... so, I have to stop him from doing so...

Jirou: That's not for you to act upon! Mr. Yagi will inform the heroes and they'll capture Shigaraki and the rest of the league!

Kuro: I've given this a lot of thought, Jirou. And I'm the ONLY one who can do it. I can teleport to literally anywhere in this world. I'm the best person to do it.

Jirou: Then... Then I'll go with you...! I'll be by your side! We can take them out together!

Kuro: No, for now, you have to focus on your dream. And that is becoming a hero. The provisional exams are coming up, right?

Jirou: But I wanted to be a hero with you...

Kuro: Me? I'm a mere experiment, Jirou. A lab rat.

Jirou: *tearing up* Don't say that! You're not an experiment! You're not some lab rat! You're Kuromaru Yagi! 

Kuro: Jirou, please...! Try to understand.

Jirou: I DON'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND! I DON'T WANT TO!

Kuro: Jirou, LISTEN TO ME!

The girl somehow stops talking, but looks at Kuro with tears in her eyes.

Kuro: The League definitely knows that I've killed All for One. You really think they will hesitate to use you for leverage against me? Hmm? You have to admit it. As of now, you're safest at UA.

Toshinori: Then what about me?

Kuro: Hmm?

Toshinori: I can go with you. I'm not a student, neither am I going to be a hero anymore, right? I can help you. As your dad, this is my responsibility!

Kuro: No, dad... You too, have to stay here at UA, in case I fail, HE is the only hope against Tomura and All for One. You have to train him.

Toshinori: ...

Kuro: You know I'm right.

He gets up on his feet and walks up to his dad.

Toshinori: So nothing I say will make you change your mind, will it?

Kuro: No... this is my decision...

Toshinori: Got it... But you know... if you ever need to rest... or want someone to talk to... my door's always open for you, my son...

Kuro hugs the man tightly, as if he was trying to get as much of a hug before he can't have anymore.

Kuro: I love you dad... thanks for everything you've done...

Toshinori: *tearing up* No... thank you... for being my son...

Kuro then turns to Jirou.

Kuro: Jirou... I... Look, I'll be honest. I've put you through a lot. And there's only one thing I can do to repay you for that...

He leans in and kisses the girl on the lips. Toshinori scratches his cheek, feeling a little awkward, as Kuro and Jirou kiss each other. The tears falling from both of her eyes gave the kiss a salty taste, but did it matter?

No.

To the two, all that mattered was that moment. The sweet and short lived moment.

Kuro breaks the kiss and hugs Jirou tightly.

Kuro: I love you, Jirou... 

Usually, Jirou would've blushed furiously and would have turned the Tsundere mode on, but now... 

Now, she didn't. She accepted the truth.

Jirou: I love you too... be safe, okay...?

Kuro: Yeah... you too...

He breaks the hug as he smiles and looks at the two people.

Kuro: Ugh, I hate this... 

He starts to cry, as Toshinori starts to move towards Kuro, shortly followed by Jirou, as the two hug the crying boy.

Kuro: *crying* I... I...

Toshinori: You don't have to say anything...

The next day, at UA dorms.

Mineta comes running in with a note in his hand.

Mineta: GUYS! THIS IS NUTS! YAGI LEFT A NOTE AT MY DOOR!

Kaminari: You got one too...?

Turns out, a note was given to each of the students at 1A.

"Guys, 

Thanks for the lovely moments that you all gave me. These times were lots of fun. And I feel like I need to come clean with you guys about some things. As you all might already know, my father is All Might. But the truth is, he adopted me. I am actually one of All for One's experiments. A nomu. That's why, Shigaraki and the league will do anything to get a hold of me. And that's why, I'm leaving UA. I can't guarantee if I'll return, but all I ask of you guys is to move on and do what you guys really wished to do... That is, become amazing heroes."

Izuku was reading his note in his room, when a spot opened up beside him and another note drops on his bed as the spot closes up. The boy unfolds it and starts to read it.

"Izuku, 

This note is only for you to read. I have killed All for One. But Tomura is going to become a new body. A vessel, if you may, for All for One to live. And I'm going to stop it. I can't guarantee that I will succeed in stopping them. That's why you have to continue your journey to master One for All. If things go south with me, and All for One is reborn, you might as well be this world's last hope.

Take care of Dad and Jirou for me, will you?

Thanks a lot... my friend."

August...

Kuro left the Hero Academy...

Kuro was standing at the top of a building with his hair covering his eyes.

Kuro: Here we go...

Spots cover his body as he walks through a spot that appears in front of him.

A/N: Chapter 21 done! Yeah... I went the vigilante path. This is a risky play, so I hope it works...

Well, till the next time, 

Sayonara.
