A TALE FROM THE PAST [PART 81]

||3RD POV||

Luckily, the day was over and she hurriedly escaped their clutches. She ran through the halls, dodging random students as she continued to sprint through the crowded hallways. Once she saw the door which she was searching for, she slammed it open and quickly entered the room. Once she was inside, she slammed the door behind her and leaned against the door while panting as she clutched the blazer tightly. 

She felt eyes on her panting form and looks up, she was met with Toshinori in his real form. She flinched and stuttered while waving her hands in front of her, "I went overboard with my power! Um... Ah, shit... I did a trick which I learned... And, kinda used most of my power and now I can't use it until tomorrow!" She had a flushed face when she heard him chuckle and say, "If that's what you say, Aya. You look good in the uniform by the way."

She looks away with a sigh and rubbed neck while heading towards him, she sat on the couch with him and relaxed. There was a comforting silence but it was interrupted when someone knocked against the door, a voice loudly said while opening the door, "Excuse me!"  Her eyes flickered to the door and saw Midoriya standing there, staring at her relaxed figure. She lazily salutes him while leaning her head back with her eyes closed, Toshinori said in a monotone voice, "Have a seat."

Midoriya gulps as he walked towards the chair across the table, Toshinori asked as he reached the chair, "You went through a lot, huh? I'm sorry, I couldn't be nearby." Midoriya shakily said once he was seated on the chair, "That's... not something you need to apologize for, All Might..." She watches in the corner of her eye as he leaned a bit forward while saying, "More importantly... Um, what did you mean when you said you wanted to talk about One For All?"

Toshinori spoke, "I heard..." He licked his finger causing the brunette to cringe and he continued, "...That the Hero Killer got a lick of your blood." Midoriya sits up and answered, "Oh, yes..." She listened as he explained, "His Quirk was one that could keep someone from moving after ingesting their blood... What about it?" He tilts his head slightly as he looked at them with curious eyes, she sits up with a smile as Toshinori raised his hand while saying, "Do you remember what I said when I gave you my power?" 

Midoriya immediately made a face similar to All Might's hero form and said, "'Eat this.'" She snorts when she saw the face and Toshinori quickly retorted, "No, not that part." She listens to him speaking while looking out of the window, watching how the sky turned into a golden orange color as the sunsetted, "I said that it didn't matter what it was as long as you took in my DNA." Midoriya sprung up from his chair as he realized what he meant, surprising them both.

With stuttering yet feared voice, Midoriya couldn't help but say, "Th-Then d-don't tell me, the H-Hero Killer has One For All now...?!" Immediately, Toshinori reassured, "No, that's not it. I thought you might've been worried about that, but..." With a disappointed sigh, she spoke while looking at him, "I see... You forgot about it, huh?" He looks at her as she explained, "One For All cannot be transferred to anyone unless the bearer wishes it. It cannot be stolen by force. It can be transferred by force, though."

With a raised finger, she continued, "Its a special Quirk. Yes, and this is how it came about..." Toshinori spoke further on, "One For All was derived from a certain Quirk that existed from the past." Midoriya looks at him with interest while asking, "A Quirk that existed in the past?" A voice interrupted sharply, "More precisely, my Quirk and someone else's." Midoriya's eyes snap towards her form, she stared back with intensity as she said, "How do you think I know so much of One For All? It was a part of my power until..." 

Toshinori places a hand on her shoulder as he continued for her, "The name of the Quirk is 'All For One.' A Quirk that could steal Quirks from others and make the holder's, and one that could give those Quirks to others." Midoriya couldn't help but mutter, "'All'... Everything for one person...?" Her head hangs low as her voice was dead, "This was when superpowers were first showing up, before society had figured out how to deal with the changes. With the appearance of Quirks, suddenly, what made someone a human crumbled away."
