Izuku walked into Recovery Girl's office to receive a daily checkup on his left shoulder, which had been revealed to have a hairline fracture. Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one to receive injuries, as Ochaco, Katsuki, Shoto, and even Hanta received minor injuries. They got off lucky this time, who knows what the next battle will be like. "I take it that you're worried about the coming battles?" Recovery Girl questioned.

"Yeah, I have a feeling that Roman is finding ways to get stronger, if that's true, I have to get stronger too." Izuku responded. "You can worry about that after your shoulder is fully healed up. For now, you need plenty of rest to regain your strength, seeing as my quirk was only able to heal your shoulder about seventy-five percent." Recovery Girl said. Cody then entered the room, happy that he found Izuku. "Hey kid, just wanted to let you know that after your healed up, we'll be starting up a recon operation to find Roman and bring him and his alliance to justice, we're entering the endgame now. We just gotta play the right cards." Cody said as he placed his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"The boy should be fine, he will most likely be able to resume training tomorrow." Recovery Girl said. "Thanks, Chiyo." Cody said as he and Izuku left the infirmary.........

Unknown location:

Roman trained tirelessly, training kit only his physical strength, but his quirk too. You see, Roman had recently discovered stories of people who experienced an "Awakening" of their quirk's full power, and wanted to see if he could achieve even greater power.
He channeled the energy of his quirk into his right fist and slammed it into the ground. He grinned at his target, standing up, cocking his right fist like a gun. Roman then charged at the target, jumped, and hit it with a Superman Punch. He felt no change in power.
Roman then smashed the target in anger. What is it that awakens the full potential of a person's quirk? Why couldn't he have the power he desired?
He then looked at another target with malicious intent.
"UUUUUHHH AAAAHH!!!" Roman roared as he activated his quirk, channeling a massive amount of energy. Roman then charged and hit the second target with a Spear, now feeling a slight change in his quirk's power.
"Now we're getting somewhere." He said, grinning like a madman........

U.A:

Cody stood next to Aizawa to teach the class a very important topic.

"Alright class, today Mister Rhodes will be giving an important lesson. Listen up!" Aizawa said as he got into his sleeping bag.

"Class 1-A, I remember your teacher telling me that your quirks "awakened" in the war against the League of Villains, but what if I told you that what you can do now, you've barely scratched the surface of your power. You see, the "awakening" you experienced is a lie, or more like a half-truth. You have not yet achieved what's called "True Awakening", but your quirks gifted you only a quarter of their true potential. I should know this because that's what me and my fellow friends pursued, and are still pursuing, the running theory is that True Awakening ties in with a person's emotions, such as happiness, anger, sadness, rage, and so on. There are very few people who achieved True Awakening, my father being one of them. If we find the way to achieve eve True Awakening, we could easily gain the upper hand in this war." Cody explained.

Izuku's eyes widened. All the quirks that the vestiges of One For All had gifted him with were only a small percentage of the true power of One For All?
"D-Dad, what's the possibility that Roman's trying to do the same thing?" He questioned. "Knowing Roman, he's probably already trying to do the same thing. He's also likely to get the rest of his alliance to do the same thing. For now, me and my friends will train alongside you to prepare your bodies, as well as our own, for a True Awakening. The circumstances of you all achieving True Awakening are all up to you and your emotions. Training begins tomorrow at noon." Cody responded as he dismissed the class.
