   It was early in the morning. The sun wasn't up yet. While most people were still huddled comfortably on their respective beds, Izuku was bursting with sweats all over his body, mainly majority of it dripping from his neck towards his chest. On a Tuesday morning, a greenette was jogging behind the coastal pavements. Izuku wore a grey hoodie that he was able to pluck from the closet, and some red jogging pants in order to fight the morning cold breeze as he took a run.

   In contrast to Izuku's scrawny, weak figure, Kylin was packed with more muscles since he was following his work-out program. With that being said, Kylin was abit uncomfortable with how weak this body was, that was why he decided that training this body was gonna one of his main goals. That way, at least he would have something worthwhile to spend.

   He took a halt as he catched his own breath, simultaneously rubbing himself with a handkerchief. There was a lot that he had to do first before he could reach his original body's package with this muscle.

   A few moments later, he arrived on a junkyard, lying closely next to the sea. The place looked outdated or neglected. There was lots of junk, seeing that it was a spot where people would throw their trash at. Having an idea pop on his mind, he decided to climb from one of the piles of junks that stood the highest for him and admired the terrain surrounding him.

   As the sun slowly peeked it's way from the horizon, it sent out a beautiful, luminous ray of morning light, something that Kylin adored. He sat there for a while, waiting until the large fireball was now shining with it's full body.

   The very first day of his masterplan, he already made some revolutionary changes in the greenette's life, which he was boastfully proud of. Number one, he was able to possess the greenette's diary. Two, he changed the way the students in the school would look at him. And third, he was able to throw majority of the All Might's merches and action figures.

   Surprisingly, he was enjoying this more than he expected. What could be more pleasurable than the idea of self-development and the strength to finally fight back?

   While contemplating on what was next to be done, Kylin didn't disregard the con that he was intruding someone's life, and in that case, an innocent stranger's life. He promised himself that he would stop after he was able to retaliate, retaliate to those who tormented and bullied the original Izuku. This was the main reason why he decided to do this anyway. He was mad that the original Izuku was too weak to even fight back. He was annoyed that Izuku was too much of a coward to let those around him push him.

    THUD.

   A thud caught him off guard, causing him to swiftly look at the source, only to find no one there.

   "HA HA HA HA HA!"

   "?"

   "DO NOT BE SCARED! WHY? BECAUSE I AM HERE!" An all-too loud, enthusiastic scream boomed in Izuku's ears causing him to cover it and find where the voice was coming from.

   "The hell is that?" He grimaced in annoyance, wondering who could've been disrupting his alone time.

   "Uhhh...." The voice emerged again. This time, abit confused.

   Suddenly, Izuku felt someone poking him from the back, causing him to sprung and jump down out of reflex. "The hell is wrong with you?!"

   Before he could even look at the figure, a thick smoke popped out from the stranger, engulfing him in the process, giving Izuku the time to back away to gain distance.

   A few seconds later, when the thick smoke finally faded, there stood All Might who was in his all-glorious form–his scrawny, weakened body–coughing out blood before looking at Izuku.

   Izuku couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion, looking at the old man with hesitation. He seem familiar?

   "Izuku Bakugo. Finally, I have found you."

   "Yeah, so what?" Izuku sarcastically replied, crossing his arms as he stared at the old man from head to toe. "Do I know you?"

   To say the least, All Might was taken aback. He didn't expect the latter to have forgotten him...so quickly. "Do you not remember? I saved you from that sludge villain. I even gave you my autograph."

   Izuku simply nodded. "Ah...that."

   For some reason, there was something odd about the latter. All Might couldn't help but seem worried whether or not he mistaken him for someone else. "Young Bakugo, about what I said the other day..."

   "Yeah?" Izuku tried to behave updated.

   "When you asked me if someone powerless like you can be a hero, you reminded me of myself. Back in that sludge incident, I was moved at your heroism."

   Izuku nodded as if he understood and was able to have some follow up about the context. Although, deep down, he was debating like crazy. Who was this old man? What the hell is he even talking about? Sludge incident?

   "You, young boy, can be a hero."

   "It could have been anyone with a good heart, yet among all, it was you. A powerless boy who attempted to save a hostage from a dangerous villain. It wasn't something that you can observe from most people, or to the heroes, or from society. And for that, I have now made up my mind. Although, it depends whether you're still on it."
  
   All Might leaped down from the tall pile of junk and stood in front of Young Midoriya. He reached his hands, and offered it to Izuku. "Bakugo, would you like to be my successor?"

   At this point, Izuku didn't know what to do.
