After the match ended, Izuku left the arena without looking back. Meanwhile, All Might, who was left alone, could only stare blankly at him. His body could not move from where he was due to the shock he received after facing death just a few miles away from him.
' I-I'm safe '
But the fact that he survived made him feel ashamed. The words Izuku left, left a deep mark on All Might. His pride as a symbol of peace collapsed instantly with just a few words from the child.
All Might is a hero who can save many people with a smile, but in reality, he has failed to save the closest person from him. Not only that, but he also left him, letting the child taste the bitterness of the world at a very early age.
' why did I just realize it '
Shock, anger, and disappointment took hold of his heart instantly. He was disappointed and angry at his inability to realize the child's suffering only because of his ego.
" what I've done "
Since All Might have not moved from his place, several officers had no other choice but to approach him. The staff thought that All Might was injured somewhere, but they were silent for a moment when they saw the dark face made by All Might. A face he had never made in front of others, an expression as if he was broken.
Despite that, the officers tried to remain professional. They ignored what they had just seen and helped All Might to the infirmary for treatment.
Inside the infirmary room, Inko and Izumi ran to All Might who was receiving treatment. But when they saw his condition, they were very surprised. Not only was his body covered in wounds, but the dark expression he made them even more worried.
" Dad... "
Izumi immediately ran to hug her father as soon as she saw him. Inko also approached them worried about her husband.
" Honey, are you okay? "
Despite his daughter and wife asking him how he was doing, All Might remained silent. His head still couldn't escape the previous match even after he was transferred here. Seeing something strange about her husband, Inko shook his shoulders to bring him back to reality.
" Honey? "
Coming back to his senses, All Might then looked around and saw the worried faces of his wife and daughter. At that time there was no one other than them in the room. Seeing the quiet atmosphere and familiar faces, made All Might become calmer.
He then took a breath to calm the feelings raging within him. Inko then approaches him and asks once again about his situation.
" Are you okay? "
" no, not at all "
" What happened during the match "
" Inko, do you remember about Izuku? "
" Izuku? "
Inko and Izumi's eyes immediately narrowed as soon as the name was mentioned. She wouldn't have thought that the name of the child she had forgotten for so long reappeared in her husband's mouth.
" Why are you suddenly talking about him? What's wrong with the child? "
" That kid, he... he is still alive"
" What?! "
All Might's sudden statement made the two people both surprised and incredulous.
" That's impossible, isn't the child long gone, besides, he should have died long ago "
" He's not died, he's just disappeared, beside, we never found his body didn't we "
" But how does Dad know? "
