Jurassic Hero (Boku no Hero Academia Fanfic) - Chapter 152
Brando didn’t intend to talk too much about Ryukyu’s hero office and averted the topic of the conversation to the internship of the girls around him. Everyone knew him and they didn’t mind telling him about their experience.
“I am not sure why, but the students in your class have always entered an incident!” Setsuna said.
“I can’t deny that,” Brando said. He also sighed when he thought that there were a lot of things happening after he had joined this school from League of Villains, Sports Festival, and even Hero Killer. He wouldn’t be surprised if one of his classmates was kidnapped by someone during a summer holiday or something. He had decided to spend his holiday in the countryside enjoying his life with a lot of girls later.
“There might be something wrong with your class,” Ibara said.
“Something wrong?” Brando asked.
“Hmm, maybe there is a traitor?” Ibara said easily.
“……..”
However, the moment everyone heard that sentence their expression couldn’t help but turned serious.
“That’s a bit impossible,” Brando said.
“Why?” Yui asked.
“Because this is U.A. High School,” Brando said.
“……”
They looked at each other and nodded. They felt that it was impossible too since this school was a school of a hero and everyone was working hard to become a hero.
Brando thought and couldn’t help but scream inwardly. He could place an eavesdropping device on All Might, then there might be a mouse that could become a traitor in this school. He shook his head and continued to listen to Midoriya and All Might’s conversation.
—
“Back then the norms of what it meant to be human suddenly collapsed, and with that….”
“Laws become meaningless. Societal progress halted. It was catastrophic.”
Midoriya nodded and said, “I have remembered that someone has said, “Without Quirk, humanity might be enjoying life on the interstellar travel now”.”
“Yes, and in that age of confusion and disorder… One man took the initiative and brought people together. You may hear about this…..”
“He would steal Quirks from other people. and with his overwhelming power spread the influence of his organization. He was responsible for manipulating so many into committing so many wicked acts, which was his intention. Before long, he had taken over Japan as a true evil lord,” All Might said with a sigh.
“I have heard the rumor, but I thought that it was all made-up. There is nothing in the textbooks about him,” Midoriya said.
“The textbooks don’t tell you about what the yakuza are up to either, do they? When a person has power, they instinctively seek a way to use it,” All Might said.
“But how is this connected to One-For-All?” Midoriya asked.
“I mentioned that All-For-One could grant Quirk too. With that ability, he could instill trust in others or at least get them to submit. However, the load was too much for those who received it. Many would end up becoming mere puppets, unable to even speak. Just like those Nomu….”
“Then this man who has stolen many Quirk to his little brother who is useless a power-stocker Quirk to keep his stolen Quirk.”
“Wait, so..?!”
“Yes, this little brother actually isn’t Quikless. This person has a Quirk that is able to pass his Quirk to another person….”
“But then this power-stocker Quirk and transferring Quirk were fused!”
“That’s how One-For-All came to be.”
Midoriya was in shock when he heard All Might’s story. “T – This story, why are you telling me now?”
All Might sighed and said, “We’re talking about someone who steals Quirk. He could acquire any kind. Like the ones that stopped the aging process, and he did. That made him undefeatable and let his defeated younger brother pass the mission on to future generations. Thought it was but a shadow of what it is today… The power he passed on grew and grew… All in the hope that it could one day stop the older brother.”
“And it was one of my generation that finally brought the villain down!! Or so we thought… He survived. And now he’s on the move again as the brains behind this League of Villains.”
“One-For-All is the power that’s inherited for the sole purpose of beating All-For-One. This means that someday you will fight against that ultimate evil…. perhaps….”
All Might took a deep breath and shook his head. “I am sorry this has gotten a little dark.
Midoriya shook his head and stood up. He clenched both of his hands and said, “Whatever you say, All Might… I’ll step up to the challenge! As long as you’re by my side, I can do anything… That’s how I feel, anyway!!!”

Brando, who had heard their conversation, could only shake his head. He was wondering why those guys kept trying to fight that All-For-One owner. ‘Responsibility, huh?’
Ding! Dong!
Brando heard that it was time for the class and said, “Let’s go back.”
They nodded and went back together.
Brando walked with them while talking, but his head was thinking about the conversation that he had heard. He was wondering why people wanted power when they would be ruined after they had received it. He wondered why he kept hearing All Might coughed from time to time. ‘Sick?’ He felt that there was a lot more mystery and he had become more and more curious.
‘All-For-One.’
“One-For-All.’
Brando frowned and wondered why both of them had become the villain and the hero. ‘If both of All-For-One and One-For-All disappear….’ He thought that the world would be more peaceful without them.
‘Grant.’
‘Transfer.’
Brando also wondered whether there was a way to get both of their powers for himself. He smirked inwardly and thought that the moment he had heard this secret his day would be more interesting.
