A/n: Rahhh

"Huh. I don't understand the way Hawks marked this book." Midoriya mumbled as they all sat in a restaurant.

All Might hadn't looked through it yet. Midoriya seemed to believe that it contained the key to Hawk's speed. Though Bakugou couldn't understand why. It was written before Hawks was even born.

By a villain while he was in jail. Yotsubashi Chikara had killed himself after its release to the public. Which made it even more popular at the time.

"He obviously doesn't know how to take notes right." Midoriya Mumbled again. He stayed buried in the book so his mind couldn't dwell on the fact that he was eating dinner with his two favorite people. All might and Kacchan.

"Let me see." All might said. Taking the book. It was so odd to him. It was a random choice of literature for a pro like Hawks to just be passing out. Even though it was popular again, it didn't make much sense for Hawks to endorse it now of all times.

He looked through the highlighted passages. Midoriya was right. They didn't make much sense. They weren't even highlights of the story. Just utterly random passages.

"Pay special attention to the second part."

He had said. Second part?

All the highlights were either in the first, third or fifth chapters. None in the second. And the second highlighted passage wasn't important in the slightest.

The man stared at the book. Something telling him there was something important here... Something he hadn't noticed yet.

"The"

All might paused as the word stuck out to him. It almost seemed like it had been highlighted twice. Darker than the rest of the first highlighted paragraph.

It was... Hawks had at very least bared down on it harder. All Might was about to brush it off as a accident but noticed the same farther down.

"Enemy"

The second paragraph. The second word on the second paragraph.

"Pay special attention to the second part."

"Is"

Second word of the third paragraph.

"The enemy is"

All the paragraphs on the third page of the first chapter... Lined up.

"Midoriya do you have a pen?" All Might mumbled. Flipping the page.

"Huh? Sure. Why? Did you find something interesting?" The boy perked up. Handing over a pen.

"The"

"Enemy"

"Is..."

"The"

"Liberation"

"Army"

The old pros eyes widened. He marked under each word and then jotted it down on a napkin. A code.

Hawks had left a simple code in the book. Containing a message. He looked like he wanted to say more... Maybe this was it. The words he wished to speak.

"They"

"Number..."

"Over a hundred thousand."

All might pulled out his phone and stood up. Leaving money to pay their bill on the table.
"I figured it out. We have to go now." He told the boys who seemed confused. But stood up anyways.
