"Huff... Huff... Huff..."

I've lost track of time, all I can see is that the sun is slowly starting to dip. I run through the streets of Fuyuki, accompanied by All Might on an electric scooter. I don't know how long I've been running, but I can't feel my legs, I feel like I'm inhaling razor blades rather than air, and my body is so hot that my sweat is evaporating.

"Boy..."

I hear a voice behind me calling, but I can't stop, not now...

"Boy!"

I have to keep moving, otherwise I'll never be able to pick up Kiritsugu's flame...

"Young Senji!" All Might's voice brings me back to myself.

I stop awkwardly, having almost fallen. Turning towards him, I can see that something is wrong.

"That's it, you're finally listening to me." He sighs. "Do you know how long you've been running?" I shake my head negatively. "I thought so... In any case, you've been running for far too long. Look at you, shaking like a leaf and looking like you can barely stand!" Indeed, when I look at my hands, I see a lively trembling, which I can't seem to calm down. "This state, my boy, is what we call overwork! And it's your worst enemy; if you overdo it, it will produce very bad results!"

"I know all that."

"Oh?"

"But I can't afford to train carefully. I notice it every day, I need to train ten times more than the others." I touch my belly. "I want to become as strong as you... No, stronger than you, if I'm your heir then I must aim much higher and surpass you." I look All Might straight in the eyes.

All Might remains silent, as if contemplating what I've just said, then transforms into his heroic form.

"Shameless boy! You really are the obsessed type! But you know what? I have to admit, I don't mind!" He said, helping me to sit down on a bench. "But all the same, training in such a way can be a real danger to your health! But I understand what motivates you now! Don't worry, the old man in me will keep a close eye on you to avoid the worst!"

"You're not an old man, All Might..." I say in a trembling voice.

"Did he come by this morning?" I open my mailbox. "Ah yes, so... Advertising... of course. Oh, Fuji-nee's magazine, she'll be happy."

*Beep*

"Hm? a message this early?" I turn on my phone to see a message from Gina.

'Hi Sweetie! I could use your services on a mission, meet me at the usual restaurant, okay? See you then!'

"Huh... Plus I feel like I don't really have a choice..." I scratch my head. "Well, better not keep her waiting."

"Welcome!" As I enter the American restaurant, I'm greeted by the waitress, who due to our height difference and the fact that she bend down slightly to speak to me, flashes her cleavage directly in my face.
