The next few matches passed in a blur for Izuku.

  Bakugo, Iida and Tokoyami each won their matches in quick succession. Izuku then faced Iida, who was quickly dodged and pushed out of bounds.

  "You need to work on stopping quickly." Izuku advised.

  Iida nodded thankfully, taking Izuku's hand and getting hauled to his feet.

  Bakugo defeated Tokoyami in seconds, the light from his explosions weakening the sentient quirk user. Tokoyami conceded the match.

  It was now time for the final match of the Sports Festival.

  "And now, ladies, gentlemen and octopuses alike, the moment you've all been waiting for! He's strong, he's fast, he's EXPLOSIVE!! Katsuki Bakugo enters the arena!!" Present Mic screamed.

  "And in the other corner, he's barely lifted a finger so far, will his final opponent draw out his true strength, or will he be curb stomped like all the others? The Telekinetic overlord, Izuku Midoriya!!!" He continued.

  Bakugo glared at Izuku from across the arena, his palms crackling.

  Izuku stared impassively at the blonde.

  "Are you both ready?" Midnight asked.

  Bakugo growled a yes, while Izuku nodded cheerfully.

  "Begin!" She said.

  Bakugo lifted his arms behind himself and blasted off, reaching his right arm forwards.

  Izuku stepped to the side and activated optics.

  Fun fact, when quirks are combined, due to there being so many abilities and combinations, most quirk tells are canceled out.

  For example, the floating hair when using erasure.

  Izuku saw the exact moment Bakugo realized he was unable to blast away from the edge of the arena.

  "An Eye for an Eye Bakugo..."

  To the crowd, it looked like Bakugo just gave up and blasted himself out of bounds.

  Izuku bowed to his opponent, briskly exiting the silent arena and chuckling quietly to himself as he entered the tunnel.

  "B-Bakugo is.. out of bounds. Midoriya wins." Midnight said in disbelief.

  Present Mic was just staring down at the arena, his jaw hanging open.

  Aizawa sighed, rubbing his hand down his face.

  *Of course he used Erasure just to piss Bakugo off. Of course. And the kid probably doesn't even know what happened, just he couldn't use his quirk.*

  Once everyone had collected themselves the heroes prepared the podiums, as well as the medals.

  Izuku stood on first place, Bakugo was restrained to second, and Tokoyami stood on third.

  "Iida had to leave due to a family emergency! However, he will still receive his medal at a later date!" Midnight said.

  Izuku glanced momentarily at Bakugo, chained to the second place podium.

  The blonde lunged at Izuku, screeching into his gag.

  "How monstrous.." Tokoyami muttered.

  "And now, here to award the medals.."

  A booming laugh filled the arena.

  "Is All Might!" Midnight announced.

  All Might landed before the podiums, leaving not even a crack in the floor.

  "I am here!" He said.

  The hero stood up straight, taking the medals from Midnight and turning to Tokoyami.

  The hero said a few words and hung the medal around the bird boy's neck. He then hugged the teen, patting his back.

  Bakugo was next.

  "This is a bit much.." he chuckled, unclasping the gag.

  "Well done on second place Bakugo!" He congratulated.

  The blonde responded with a string of curses and screams.

  All Might gagged the boy with the medal this time, his smile never wavering.

  "And now, Young Midoriya. Congratulations on getting first place! I'm amazed at your strength, as well as your quick wit and determination."

  The hero hung a big golden medal around Izuku's neck, then leaned in to hug the greenette.

  "I wish to speak with you later Midoriya." The hero said quietly. "Please come to the staff room when you are able."

  All Might turned back to the crowd while Izuku's mind spun.

  What did All Might want? It could only be about his quirk. Was he afraid or merely curious? Izuku's eyes widened by the slightest margin. Ah, that was it.

  Izuku walked into the staff room, his quirks on high alert.

  He was greeted by both All Might, Nezu and Aizawa.

  "Young Midoriya, thank you for coming." All Might greeted.

  Izuku nodded to the hero, taking a seat.

  "I have asked you to be here at All Might's request. I'm sure you've figured out why?"

  Izuku nodded, lacing his fingers together.

  "All for One. My quirk is a superior version to his own, so All Might was worried."

  The hero in question spluttered, while Aizawa's eyes narrowed.

  "Who is that? Why am I just hearing about this?" He asked.

  Nezu chuckled, handing Izuku a cup of tea.

  "All for One is the oldest, most dangerous villain of all time. All Might believed he had defeated him, however it seems, due to recent events, that he is in fact alive."

  All Might coughed up blood this time.

  "Alive??" He asked.

  Izuku nodded.

  "At the USJ. The Nomu creature had multiple quirks. Regeneration. Superspeed. Shock displacement. Super strength. He was as strong as yourself All Might, without a doubt. I decided to go deeper into the rabbit hole, and found a bunch of rumours and bedtime tales about 'All for One' the boogeyman that steals quirks from bad children."

  All Might sighed, slumping back into his chair.

  "If he really has regained his strength.. I will not be able to defeat him." He admitted.

  Izuku shook his head.

  "I think you'd have a good chance, even if you were on your own. Since your fight with him 5 years ago, the number of powerful quirk users disappearing have very slowly increased from nothing. Even now, the reports are at less than half the number they were before. He's weakened at the very least. Crippled at the most."

  All Might became a little hopeful. Perhaps they really would stand a chance.

  Nezu leaned forwards.

  "So Bunny. We have been told of your various quirks and powers, but we have not seen many of them in action. I'd like to test just how far your limits reach."

  Izuku chuckled.

  "I doubt even All Might in his prime could make me reach my limit. The sheer amount of strength enhancers and shock nullification quirks I have is ridiculous."

  Aizawa sighed, getting out of his seat.

  "Even so, I'd like to see you going all out." He said, walking to the door.

  Izuku and the other teachers stood, following the erasure hero to the field outside.

  The rest of the heroes were stood waiting for them.

  "This the kid with the copy quirk?" Vlad King asked.

  Nezu nodded from Izuku's shoulder, hopping onto the ground.

  "Now, Midoriya here is going to demonstrate his full strength to you all. Should another incident like the USJ occur, this will let you rely on him with a clear conscience. Midoriya, if you please."

  Izuku stepped into the middle of the field, a fair distance from the teachers.

  "Could you punch me full force All Might?"
