My Ninja Hero Academia:The Prologue

Chapter 3 Roaring Muscles

[IZUKU]
The world's most popular hero.

All Might! Age unknown.
Quirk unidentified.

He broke onto the hero scene

and was an immediate hit,
thanks to his abilities.

Ever since he appeared,

crime rates have
drastically decreased.

His very existence, a deterrent
for many would‐be villains.

The world's a safer place.

They don't just call him
the Symbol of Peace.

It's what he is.

And this pillar of
justice said to me:

[ALL MIGHT] Young man.
You, too, can become a hero.

[STUDENT 1C]
Midoriya? You're kidding...

[KATSUKI]
...Quirkless wannabe.

You really think they'd
let someone like you in

when they could have me?

[DOCTOR 1A] Sorry, kid,
it's not gonna happen.

[IZUKU'S MOM]
I'm sorry, Izuku.

[IZUKU] I needed someone
to tell me that.

And then...

The person I admire most
in this world did.

Honestly.

Part of me never thought
I'd hear those words.

Much less from him.

I deem you worthy of my power.
My Quirk is yours to inherit.

[IZUKU gasps]

Uh?

Wait. What do you mean inherit?

Inherit what?

[laughs] You should
see your face right now.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna
force this thing on you.

[ALL MIGHT]
Listen well, young man.

This is your choice.

Do you wanna accept
my awesome power or not?

[IZUKU]
Wh‐What is he talking about?

What is this?

There are a couple
things you should know

about my abilities.

[IZUKU gasps]

[ALL MIGHT] Journalists
always guess my Quirk

is super strength or some
kind of invulnerability.

When people ask in interviews,

I always make a joke
and dodge the question.

That's because the
world needs to believe

that their Symbol of Peace
is just a natural born hero,

like any of them.

But I'm not.

There's nothing natural
about my ability.

I wasn't born with this power.

It's a sacred torch
that was passed on to me

from someone else.

Someone gave you
this Quirk? No way.

[ALL MIGHT]
Yes way. And you're next.
