After the events of the Overhaul Arc, Touya's secret life as an infamous vigilante is revealed. In order to avoid Tartarus, he accepts an offer from the heroes: Become the new hand-to-hand combat teacher at UA and cease all vigilante activities. What else is Touya supposed to do but accept? Now at UA, Touya must find a new normal amidst the danger brewing and his own feelings. Hopefully, nothing goes too terribly.

Dabi didn't think that getting hit with a quirk in the middle of a battle against the heroes would bring him back in time. He didn't think it would restore his old looks either but here he is. When he looked at his reflection in the glass of a nearby store, unblemished skin and white hair greeted him. He looked like he would have if his quirk didn't decide to burn him alive, he looked... normal. Dabi makes a promise to himself at that moment. He would not go down the same route in this world. He's not a villain, he'd stop trying to gain his father's approval. He just didn't care anymore. Endeavor didn't deserve his effort. In this second chance as Touya Watanabe, he would live for himself and create his own happiness. This was his new beginning. Touya Watanabe was a normal civilian.
