Yuki's POV
After the exam we change back to our uniforms, we check the board to see if all of us passed the provisional license exam. I can see everyone's nervous if they actually passed. I feel so nervous if I passed or not... did I do right or did I do wrong
Then they finally show the board then I saw a lot of names of those who passed the exam, I completely search my name in alphabetical order.
'come on please be there' I became nervous I kept looking down searching for my name then ... I felt silent but I suddenly "I.. passed" I found my name it's above next to Yaomomo. I felt great passing "I passed!"
Then I heard the others passed, I can see how happy they are. I look on my side I saw Shoto is upset, then I search for his name, but... it wasn't there.
Shoto didn't passed the exam.
I'll try talked to him "Sho-"
"Todoroki!"
We turn to our side we saw Yoarashi is standing beside him.
Then he bowed hard on the ground "I'M SORRY!" he apologized "you failing to pass... it was my fault! My lack of heart is entirely to blame! FORGIVE ME!"
I felt bad for him, even I didn't do anything wrong.
"from the very begining, this was the result the seed I which I had sown..." Shoto said "so cut that out" he pause "you really gave it to me straight back there, and thanks to that, there were some important things that I came to realize."
"Shoto" I mumble then I became serious "you might have failed, you still have so much to learn. So I'll help you, even though you failed I won't give up just to teach you until you became full fledge. It is my duty as a student-teacher of our class to nurture my classmates until they soar high..."
"Yuki..." he smiled "you already supported me too much... it's time for you to support yourself" he said
"but-"
"it's okay, it's my action and my responsibility. you need to support yourself now" he said "now that you became a pro, you have a lot of responsibilities being a staff, a teacher and now a hero... just let me take care of myself. Someday I'll be strong enough to stand beside you..."
"alright... if that's what you wanted... I'll let you" I accept his choice.
"Yuki Yagi, here's your result"
"thank you" then I took the result
"how did you go?" Iida ask
"I got 95, the highest score" I said
"I got 80. You're the highest one in class" Iida said
"yeah, the highest..." I feel down all of a sudden.
Later on they announce that those who failed can take special training until December. I look on my side I can see Shoto still have a chance and his eyes are full of hope...
After that I was called at the comission office by Yokumiru Mera, I knock then open the door.
"I'm Yuki Yagi" I introduce myself "I have came just like you ask."
"Miss Yagi take a seat" he said
"the president want me to give you this" he put my hero license on his desk
I look at it...
"you're now an official pro-hero, congratulation Miss Yagi" Mera said
I was about to grab my license but I feel stopping I look on myself 'I'm an official pro now, I know it feels great, but... somehow I feel unfair' I thought then I remember my classmates working hard 'I feel unfair towards them.'
"what's wrong Miss Yagi" Mera ask
"nothing, it's just..." I sighed "I feel unfair, but I have no choice. What's done is already done" I said
Then I grab my license.
"thank you, sir" I bowed and thanked him
"see you on the streets, Yuki" he said
I smiled then I left but my smile disappeared when I close the door...
After that I saw the others are waiting.
"Yuki, do you have your license?" Ochaco ask
"... yeah, here" I showed it to her.
"wow, you're an official pro now! I'm so proud that you became a pro" Ochaco said
"yeah, yeah. Me too" I fake smiled
I feel uneasy right now, I walk toward to Uncle Aizawa.
"Uncle Aizawa, can I have permission to go. There's something I need to do before I return" I said
"granted, do you have your license" he ask
I showed it to him.
"be back in 7:00" he said
"can you return my case my Uncle I just need some time for a while" I said then I gave him my case.
After that I left.
I just don't feel fair... I just need some time to think. I just need some time alone for myself...
Shoto's POV
I kept looking but I can't seem to see Yuki nearby. She said she was called in the comission office to receive her license in private.
"Yuki, looks upset Iida" I heard Uraraka
"did she receive her license earlier?" Iida ask
"yeah, she even show it to me" she said "but she somehow feel down. Did something went wrong?"
I'm starting to feel worried 'Yuki, what's wrong? You actually disappeared all of a sudden? You've been acting strange ever since the exam started' I thought.
Yuki's POV
Well here I am, just a few minute walk from the stadium. Dagoba Municipal beach, the same place where I used to train also the same place where I first get to know Izuku, and... the place where I broke my friendship...
I took a seat on the stairs there's no seem any people nearby, I just need some time alone.
Just don't hope it he's not coming, I already hurt his feelings. I need to forget about him...
"Yuki?"
I turn "Shoto?" I avert my eyes away "what are you doing here?" I ask
Then he sit beside me.
"I was able to follow you" Shoto said "I heard from Uraraka that you received your hero license but you somehow left. Is something wrong?" he worries
I became silent "nothing, it's nothing" I said
"Yuki, you can't hide things from me" Shoto said "I've known you for a long time, you've been acting strange ever since the exam started" he pause "just tell me, what's wrong?"
I guess there's no use of hiding.
I breath out then I turn to him "it's just... I feel unfair, Shoto" I said
"what do you mean?" Shoto ask
"my early studies, my early training and even receiving my license in an early age" I said "I just feel unfair to all of you, that I get to be a pro while all of you are still training. I just can't feel the burden of being a few steps away from you guys..."
I felt my eyes are getting teary "all those, because I want to be just like Dad. I want to be a hero just like him, but in order to do that I need to work hard" I said I felt my tears are dripping down
"Yuki..." Shoto mumbles
"but from the very begining, I started training since I was 8 years old" I sobbed "I did my best to train hard, every single day, until things became serious happen. I know the day will come that Dad wouldn't be able to fight anymore, so I trained hard and did my early studies."
"... I'm worried about you since you didn't passed the exam, and I get to be a pro. I just can't-"
"Yuki, don't say that" Shoto cut me "it's true that I didn't passed the exam, but they said I still have a chance and I'm not jealous of you being a pro now. Remember don't blame yourself of being a few steps ahead, because you're still with us" he said "you're still part of our class, you're the type of person who encourage others.
"listen, all those times when we got separated I never forget all about you" Shoto said "I kept sending letters all the time and parcels in every occasions."
"I never stop believing in you, your words, your courage they kept me stronger. Because you're the one who's making me stronger, that's why I fell in love with you that day."
"I love you because your strong, kind, caring and courageous you never stop smiling and you never stop running towards your dream."
"you're the Yuki I know, the one courageous enough to stand again and not afraid to fight back" Shoto continue
"so just don't just kept saying that you're unfair, because you're fair enough to encourage us. You never stop encouraging us and supporting us"
"I'll admit that you're stronger than me, that's why I will be stronger than you, stronger enough to protect you."
I felt my chest lift up when Shoto said those
I smiled "ufu, don't be an fool you know I can beat you" I said
Then Shoto came close then his right hand cupped my left cheek "but you can't beat when I'm close" he whispered then he kept leaning closer.
I put both of my hands on his chest then stop "Shoto... someone might see us..." I said
Then Shoto lean forward "I don't care if anyone sees us, just let me do this..." he said then his right hand slid on the back of my head sliding some of my hair down then he untie my hair down.
I felt my hair fall down, Then he kept leaning forward to my face.
"Shoto..." I felt my eyes closed slowly.
I felt his lips were press to mine, I felt my cheeks heat up and flushed red. He's so warm I feel like staying a bit a longer but I felt my breath is running out, "Shoto..." I muffled my voice inside the kiss, seconds later we both pulled back. Then we both took a breather...
I felt my cheeks heat up and so is he...
"sorry, it's been a while since we last kissed" Shoto said while taking a breather
Then I took my last breath, then I lean then kiss him lightly then pull back quickly then I smiled "it's fine" I said
Then I took out my license then took a picture then send it to Dad. 'I hope he sees this' I thought then I put my license and phone back to my bag...
We both stood up.
"let's go, Uncle will scold us if we stay too long" I said
"yeah" Shoto agrees.
After that Shoto hold my hand then we walk together. I smiled his hand feels warm.
"you look pretty with your hair down" Shoto said
I felt my cheeks heat up "thanks"
All I said those feelings of being unfair on myself disappeared when he said those.
I smiled at him
'I love you Shoto' I thought... then we both walk back together....
Meanwhile hiding somewhere Izuku's POV
"it hurts, it hurts" I felt the pain through my chest.
'she... she... she already has someone else'
I clenched my chest hurt and my tears are pouring down.
I was suppose to see her here but when the time I came she already has someone to be with, I watch eveything.
I felt my chest hurts 'I feel jealous? Jealous of seeing her with someone else' I thought 'I knew it, she won't accept me even if I tell her.' then I left while feeling the pain of jealousy...
Meanwhile in Tartarus
"it's about time for the second semester to start, right? Or has it already started"
"here I thought you'd be completely absorbed in their education, but..."
"what do you seek from me?"
"I'm here to settle this, All for One" All Might said
Everything inside the room quarantined by the highest and most secured prison in the world, where the most dangerous criminals in the world being imprisoned.
"this place is a bit stiff, All Might" All for One said "for example... let's say your back is itchy and you ty to scratch it by rubbing against the back of your chair... he moment you do, all the guns of this place will point at you. Your vital signs, your brain waves, they're monitoring them at all times. If you so much as think about activating your quirk, their hands will be grip around your throat."
"to be imprisoned deep underground, covered by so many high security... this place is built for the complete and utter exclusion of the wicked. They have modeled it after the greek legend... they call it Tartarus."
"it named of the gods of hell. It is befitting that the fate for thos who betray the gods has befallen me."
"there's no way you're getting out of here, you know" All Might said
"let assume that would be the case"All for One said "So? what do you want from me?" he ask "where's Gran Torino? Did you come of your own accord?" he questioned "what's with that pitiful costume of yours? You don't mean to tell me that you're still working as a hero, right?"
"you love to run your mouth don't you?" All Might scoffs
"come on symphatize with me a little" All for One exclaim "it's been a long since I had a proper conversation."
"where is Shigaraki?" All Might ask seriously
"I don't know" All for One answered "unlike you, I already let my successor carry on, or you already did?"
"You bastard don't mix my daugther here, what are you after?" All Might questioned "what were you trying to do?"
"against all reasons, you manahgd to keep your body alive... you were able to endure and live for this long. And all the while, you dedicated yourself to exploitation, manipulation and controlling others, just like you did to Izuku Midoriya... what were you trying to accomplish?"
"this is an unproductive discussiin topic" All for One sighed "even if you do listen, you wouldn't able to understand. There are always going to be people who cannot see eye to eye."
"we're the same. You and I, we're the same."
"in the same way you aspired to be the hero of justice, I yearned to be the King of evil, simple as that."
"I had the power... to embrace those ideals and embody them."
"if I can live eternally through these ideals, then no effort is too great for me."
"in that case, why a successor...?" All Might ask
"you really have to ask that?! Hahaha! Interesting" All for One said "it's because you took everything away from me! Look at this body. It's with this tube that I'm barely able to keep on living. All because of you, my ideals which I thought were limitless, suddenly became limited."
"when people know that there will be an end, They entrust."
"it's like that with everything. The house and buildings we contruct. Even the food we put in our mouths. Everything has been made by humans to be entrusted to other humans."
"I'm trying to do what everyone else is doing"
"All Might in three minutes" the guard said through the speaker.
"wait, wait. That's not all! I still have... more to say... yes that's right" All for One said "I thought the world would be pretty shaken up by the news of your retirement" he continues "how is it out there?"
"he is completely sut off from information about the outside world please refrain from many imprudent disclosure" the guard said through the speaker.
"... so he says" All Might said
"what a shame..." All for One sighed "I'm sure it's probably something like this..."
"moving forward, now that you are no longer able to save anybody, all you can do is sit and look on at these villains that you were responsible for creating." All for One continues "I believe you will spend the rest of your life stricken by your powerlessness and inability to do anything, but really, I want to hear from you."
"how does it feel?" All for One ask
"All Might please back away" The guard said
"people get upset when their feelings are guessed correctly!" All for One said "what a shame you can't hit me here."
All Might stood up fro his chair "you of all people... don't you go and pressume you know everything" All Might said "I understand your thinking very well."
"Shigaraki the blood relative of my master I... no, both my daugther and I are to be killed by him" All Might said "that's the gist isn't it?"
"and?" All for One said
"I will not die. I won't allow Shigaraki kill me" All Might became serious "I will not be killed! The future you envisioned will never happen you bastard!"
"I'm here to "settle this" you said" All for One said "did you some here to tell me that? And oh one last question?"
All Might stopped walking
"your daugther, she's not your child isn't she?" All for One said
All Might stiffen
"I knew it, the way she act, the way she looks. She's one of Nana Shimura's grandchildren, also... Tomura Shigaraki's younger sister" All for One said "hahaha! Now history will repeat itself. Just like my brother fought against me, now you'll witness siblings fighting each other to the death..."
"All Might, Time's up please exit" the guard said
"The future you envision... I'll smash it... how many times I need to!" All Might said "even if those siblings are destined to fight she will be strong enough to stand... and you can sit here spending the rest of your life looking on...!" then All Might left
With All for One smirking as he laugh as the doors closes "the rest of my life, huh... I look forward seeing her suffer" as the door closed
All Might's POV
He finally found out, but he doesn't care. He's just looking forward to it.
"sorry for the timing conflict with the school... the procedures around Tartarus are exceptionally troublesome." Tsukauchi said "how'd it all go?"
"if you were hoping for any semblance of useful information... then I'm sorry to disappoint" I said "turns out he found out..."
"well, I didn't think I'd be that simple. We've got a long road a head of us" Tsukauchi pointed "his take is that Shigaraki will stay concealed and work to expand his power... if we're to take that seriously trying to carry out another raid seems like a fool's errand. Because of strict procedures, I wasn't able to take any notes, but my interview with Stain-"
Suddenly my phone ringed "sorry one second" I took my phone out 'Yuki'
'Dad, I did it! I passed!' showing her license on.
"yes!" I felt proud
"what is All Might?" Tsukauchi asked
"she finally passed" I said
