All might was the Symbol of peace so to speak, meaning that his image alone brought down the crime rate. He was a deterrent for many wanna be villains. He was a big hit thanks to his abilities and he rarely lost a fight.

And this pillar of justice just said to this young boy
"Young man, you too can become a hero."

The boy was still kneeling on the floor gasping for air, his hair was flopped facing toward towards the ground. He clutched his heart as all might stood over him in his weak form.

"I deem you worth of my power, my quirk is yours to inherit" said AllMight

The boy looked up, stopped crying and looked at AllMight as did I. Inherit a power, he can't be serious. It's one thing to give the boy hope but giving him strange ideas like passed down quirks?

"Wait... what do you mean inherit? Inherit what?" Midoryia said looking puzzled.

"All might are you ok?" I said whilst looking all might up and down. Clearly Midoryia hadnt gotten the same implications as I did when AllMight said that. Was this really his true form, was the symbol of peace just a face he put on? I had so many questions yet I didn't want any to be answered.

All might burst into a fit of laughter and said
"You should see your faces right now, don't worry I'm not going to force this on you"

"Listen well young hero's, it's Midoryia's choice , you wanna except my awesome power or not?" Pointing at Midoryia as he had blood dripping from his mouth.

The boy and I didn't say anything, instead I helped him to his feet the both of us were still staring into the symbol of peace's eyes.

"Their are a couple things you should know about my abilities, journalists always suggest my quirk is something like super strength or invulnerability, people ask in interviews and I always make a joke and dodge the question. That is because the world need to believe the 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 onto me from someone else"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It goes against anything anyone has ever studied about quirks.

"Someone gave you this quirk" he looked shaken to say the least but I suppose my expression wasn't much better. I was as confused as he was and I didn't understand why he was telling me this of all people. I wasn't a hero and I wanted nothing to do with this power or Midoryia. So why was he telling me this too?

"No way" he said coming to terms with it.

"Oh yes way! and you're next! I can give you my abilities"

"Hold on... this is a lot to process, why are you telling us this" I said stopping him whilst Midoryia looked deep in thought before he began to completely ignore my question and carried on speaking

"It's true there is alot of debate online about what your quirk actually is, no body has ever figured it out. It's one of the worlds greatest mysteries! People are constantly talking about it online."

The boy looked dazed and started muttering about how passing on quirks wouldn't make sense and I agreed with him.

Whilst he kept blabbering on I looked over to all might.

"I hope you know what you're doing," I said worried, but the voice change made me appear cold and monotone, more threatening than I wanted.

"You can trust me, but I might need a favor from you later" AllMight replied winking

I nodded at him. He was one of the only true heroes I believed in and he has shown me his deepest secret, it may be wild and hard to get your head around but he trusted me with this secret therefore the least I could do for him is a small favor.
