NIGHTEYE OFFICE:

Nighteye was calmly drinking his coffee. As he watched the screen of his computer. He was sending a call

Soon, the call was answered. The one on the other side of the screen was no one other than All Might himself.

"AHAHAH. Nighteye, how are you? Is the boy doing well?"

Nighteye smiled and said.

"Yes, I'm alright. I'm calling you about the kid. He finally found his name"

"Oh...what did he choose"

"Hayate Kuroha. Truly à troubling name"

Why did Nighteye felt that it was a troubling name? The reason was simple.
"Kuroha" referred to "black wings", evoking the images of a fallen angel. The truth was that the boy had drawn inspiration for his name from the "clover". In floriography, clovers could mean "good fortune", "think of me", "promise" and also "revenge". One didn't need to be a genius to understand which meaning attired to the boy.

The name Hayate, on the other hand, seemed less problematic at first. After all, it means "faster than the wind", but once you put the names together you had a "revenge faster than the wind".

He calmly explained everything to All Might who stayed silent. Finally, he asked

"What should we do? Should I write this name on his register?"

"Yes, do it"

Nighteye was a little stunned, but he waited for the reason.

"We do not understand what he went through during all those years. We may have seen it, but seeing and understanding are too far apart. It would be arrogance to think that we could make him forget his pain with just some words of justice"

All Might took a breath before continuing

"We will do our best to make him tread the road of justice. Revenge doesn't necessarily mean that he has to go to the end. If we can raise him so that his revenge consists of only capturing the villains, we would have done a good job"

"But All Might..."

"No more words Nighteye. The child may be docile right now, but in his very being, he still doesn't trust us. He only followed me because I'm stronger than him and because he thought that I was his best bet. If we go against his revenge, I wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to flee and become a vigilante or worse... A criminal "

Nighteye had to take a breath to calm himself. Yes. All Might was right. Kuroha was still a child, a powerful child who had to live in pain since as far as he could remember. Denying his desire for revenge the very moment he expressed it would do no good. All Might didn't stop here.

"You should begin his training. Not a combat one. Just make him a run or ride a bicycle for the time being in order to train his stamina. Doing so would give him something to do and make him go out a little"

Nighteye once again nodded. Since this subject was closed, he asked.

"So, did you find someone to inherit your power in the future?"

"Sadly no, I don't think I will begin searching for one before beating All For One. I don't want to give this burden if I can help it."

"You're right. Anyway you are still too far from retirement, so we shouldn't think too much about it"

After some nicety, they cut the communication. They still have work to do.

Nighteye closed his eyes as he let a sigh. Truly, raising a child wasn't easy, a child-like kuroha even more so. Still, it didn't matter.
