"Oh..wow..thanks. But look, I don't want to be your successor." This is so awkward. How am I supposed to respond to this?

"I know it's a lot of stress to put on you. I wouldn't ask this of you, but I am running out of time and options. I have been warned by a colleague with a future-seeing quirk that I will be defeated soon." My eyes widened.

That's insane. All For One has been around for a long time. For someone to just defeat him is unthinkable.

"I'm desperate as you can see. My daughter, there is no one more suitable for my power and position than you are." He explains this to me with hand gestures and an understanding voice.

"What about Tomura? He's been waiting for you kick the bucket. He wants more than anything to be your successor." I'd rather not be in this situation.

"Tomura is going to continue what he's doing, destroying heroes and spreading fear. You, on the other hand, are going to cultivate the new world that he brings about." I nod my head like I understand what he's saying.

But in my mind, I have no idea what he means.
I yawn involuntarily. His voice is just so monotone it's lulling me to sleep.

"Shiki, you understand don't you?" He raises his voice to get my attention.

"Yeah, yeah I do. I mean no. What are we talking about again?"

"Maybe I am wrong. You aren't up to this." He hung his head and mumbles more words to himself.

"Yeah I agree, I can't cultivate anything. All my plants die. So..I'll be leaving now." I stand up and begin walking away.

"No."
An invisible force appeared in front of me. I walked straight into the hidden wall and cried out in surprise.

"Ow!! My nose!" My hands when to my poor face to see if my nose was bleeding. It wasn't, thankfully.

I turned around and glared at All For One. This man is a real first-class ass.

I held my throbbing nose and walked back to my seat.

"Since you seem to want to do something else, let's go." He stood swiftly and motioned me to follow.

We walked past a series of hallways until we stopped in front of a large set of doors. Inside was a huge room that looked like it doubled as a gym and a dance room.

The walls were lined will mirror and half the space was open matted floors. bodybuilding supplies were arranged around the room in an organized way.

Ugh. More training?

All For One came to a stop on the open part of the room.

"First off, show me your best attacks" my legs ached just from hearing those words. I just got done with Aizawa and now I have to work out with this guy?!

From my average height of 5,4, I looked up at the tall as-hell guy. Most of my opponents are all taller than me. So I like to think I am well versed in using hight to my advantage. There's plenty of ways I can defeat a person taller than me.

I'm harder to catch and flexible. But even I have no idea the capabilities that All For One has. He's never told me how vast his powers are.

I might just find out today.

I took my first shot at him with my quirkless self.
He dodged easily.
I tried again and again. I started to tire fast. Not having my energy stealing quirk is definitely a big loss in battle.

Then he started fighting back instead of dodging.
"These are your best attacks? Am I fighting a child?" His fist made contact with my stomach.
