A Past-Predilection Retelling. I wrote it for fun, so since nobody ever really reads these, I just thought it would be a nice little spin off. It's an idea I've been tinkering with for some time now.

Sir Nighteye steepled his fingers and leaned forward, eyes slightly shutting as the day's work finally took its toll on him. It hadn't even been a few months since he broke ties with All Might and started his own agency and already he was up to his neck dealing with criminals and villains. Ah, well, it was to be expected. Not many of them were that difficult to handle in any way apart from the usual scuffle. At least this time all he got were a few bruises and nothing more. Still, leaning back in his chair and turning his gaze to the poster of All Might in his Platinum Age, he wondered how his former partner was doing.
"If you continue with your hero activities like this, then I will not support you."
He was exceptionally good at being reckless with his own welfare for the sake of others. While admirable, it still left him with worry lines he was still too young for. Mirai huffed lightly.
Well, in the end, it isn't my burden... to carry on that man's will.
And speaking of wills...
There was a knock at his door. After straightening the collar of his suit and resuming his usual business casual position, he told them to come in. Bubble Girl, one of his recent additions, walked in with numerous case files in her arms.
"Good to see you made it back safe and healthy, sir," she said with an energetic smile. "Ooh, you're looking extra cheerful today! Did it go that well?"
"Give me your report with just that level of enthusiasm in one breath," he said, fixing the stem of his glasses so the glare lessened.
"Y-Yes, sir! Of course!" Bubble Girl put the case files on his desk and spread them out in one sweep. "Centipeder-Kun and I were able to narrow down the search to ten potential candidates, each within the age range and BMI Index given! Nine males and one female make up the selection, and it's quite a set of volatile Quirks, but it's looking super promising, I assure you!" She slammed her hand on the first one and snapped it open. "Here we have Tatsumaki Shin, middle-schooler, age 13, Quirk: Long-Leg. He can stretch his legs to a certain length like a rubber man. He does well in school, has a girlfriend at Shiketsu, and enjoys Ramen."
His smile died. Ramen? We can't have someone with such bland taste picking up All Might's mantle as the next Symbol of Peace.
"Next."
"Next is Amari Endo. He's a middle-schooler with... uh, after-school activities such as visiting a certain p-pachinko parlou -"
"Next one."
