48 The New Symbol Of Peace? (2/2)
Toga nodded and said, ”Oh. Look at the time, I think that you are late for your meet up.”
Izuku looked at the grandfather's clock, it was 5:15pm.
We have agreed to meet up at 5:00pm.
'I still need to change my clothes. Why is everything so fucked today?!'

Izuku took off his clothes and took out spare ones from his inventory.
Toga just looked at him without saying anything.
”Ah.. Sorry that you had to see me like this twice today... I don't really have a habit of taking off my clothes in front of someone haha”
”Sure. I don't really mind. If I was as hungry as I was 30 minutes ago, I would definitely pounce on you though.”
Izuku shivered at the thought and replied, ”Don't even joke about that! Anyway, I need to run. If my mom comes back, just say the story about the burglar and if she asks where I went, then tell her I went to meet the hero who is training me.”
Toga nodded and said, ”Sure. Bye bye~”
***************************************************
Toshinori was standing at the beach while waiting for Izuku to show up.
'Just where is my boy. Did he forget? This is the last day. I won't be able to meet him till he gets to the U.A. I need to give this to him before I go.'
Just as he was thinking whether he should call him or not, he saw Izuku jumping from one pile of trash to another. He was trying to find All Might.
”Hey.. Young Midoriya. I am glad you came.”
Hearing the frail voice of his mentor, Izuku dashed to his location and apologized for being late.
”I am so sorry I am late. Something bad happened and I had to deal with it. I hope you aren't angry with me.”
Toshinori shook his head and said, ”Don't worry, I am just glad you could make it.”
Toshinori changed into his hero form and said, ”I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH YOUR PROGRESS SO FAR AND I'VE BROUGHT YOU YOUR GIFT!”
All Might plucked one strand of hair from his head and gave it to Izuku.
Izuku looked at it in confusion and asked, ”What... Am I supposed to do with this?”
All Might awkwardly cleared his throat and said, ”WELL... YOU SEE...EHM.. EAT IT!”
”Excuse me? I... didn't quite catch that... Could you... Repeat that?”
All Might was feeling embarrassed. There was no other way for the boy to receive his quirk. He had to receive his DNA in some way and this was the best choice.
He took a deep breath and said, ”YOU SHOULD... EAT IT!”
Izuku's expression changed from confusion to disgust as he imagined himself eating this strand of hair.
”No way In hell am I eating that!”
All Might was surprised at his outburst but it wasn't unexpected. He said those exact words to his master when she offered her powers to him.
”DON'T BE LIKE THAT YOUNG MIDORIYA, I KNOW IT'S WEIRD, BUT YOU HAVE TO EAT IT TO BE STRONGER. THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU.”
Izuku looked at him with a serious expression before pulling out his phone.
”HM? WHO ARE YOU CALLING YOUNG MIDORIYA?”
”Ah.. Don't worry, Its just Nemuri. It's been a long time since I've called her. She loves gossiping, so I bet she would like this one.” Izuku replied.
Realizing what he just said, All Might's face twisted into a weird shape and he looked as if his soul left his body.
”NO!! YOUNG MIDORIYA, PLEASE.. LISTEN.. I BEG OF YOU.. IT'S REALLY A PRESENT. IT'S MY QUIRK, I PLANNED ON GIVING YOU MY... *Pssh* quirk and this is the only way to absorb it!” in the middle of his speech, All Might transformed back into his frail form.
It is unknown whether it was due to running out of time or being scared of Midnight.
Izuku put away his phone and looked at him.
'He doesn't seem to be lying. Observe!'
[----------------------------------------------------]
Name: A Strand Of All Might's Hair.
-If the user wills it, the user is able to give his quirk away to other person.
The only way to give away quirk is to consume DNA from the original user.
If the body of the user which receives the quirks is weak, he dies immediately.
[----------------------------------------------------]
'Interesting.'
”I was just joking. Of course I believed you. But... It's just.. Too weird.” Izuku said.
Seeing that the boy won't call the scary lady, he breathed a sigh of relief.
”I know it's hard to believe, but to receive my legacy, you need to eat it, boy.”
Izuku took the strand of hair from Toshinori's hands and cheered himself on mentally.
'You can do it.. You've died multiple times, you've even killed a person. Eating hair... Shouldn't be that bad, right?'
Izuku looked at All Might and asked, ”Can I flush it down with some water?”
”Ehm.. I am not sure.. I think you can. When I received it, I ate it raw. It was so disgusting.” Toshinori lamented.
Izuku just rolled his eyes on this person.
'I think I might just call Nemuri after this.'
He picked out a water bottle from his inventory, put the hair in his mouth, and gulped it all down.
'His quirk never ceases to amaze me.' Toshinori thought.
”Good, The quirk should manifest within next 2 hours. If it doesn't, then...you need to eat it raw without water.” Toshinori nervously laughed.
Izuku grit his teeth and thought.
'You will regret admitting me to U.A. Just wait how your reputation falls the moment she hears this.'
Throwing the water bottle away, he checked his body with observe and the quirk was indeed in his stats. However, it was still blocked by a restriction.
”Thank you for your... Gift. I honestly believe this will make me stronger in the future.” it was weird thanking for a strand of hair, but Izuku genuinely liked it since it made him stronger.
'In 2 hours, I will be able to try it out. I guess I will just wait here then.'
”Alright, I've already talked with Nezu and your test will begin a day before the actually exam. There will be 2 more recommended students who will be taking the same test as you. I shouldn't be saying this, but your test will be a fight against a hero. You still have about 5 months left to prepare. I hope you can pass the exam without a problem.” Toshinori said.
”I am more than prepared for the exams. I will pass it easily. You don't need to worry. So.. Anyway.. Other than cleaning up this beach, do you have any other thing for me to do? Clean another beach or catch a villain? ” Izuku asked.
”No. This whole beach cleaning thing was so that you can survive the effects of my quirk. Your body has to be strong enough to hold the power in. If you were weak, you would definitely die. I was never really good at teaching or explaining things, all I can help you with, is your foundation.”
Izuku nodded and replied, ”I don't really think you need to teach me anything. I will handle it myself. I am just grateful for your gift.”
”Okay. I should go now, see you in U.A. boy! Good luck out there!”
Toshinori moved his hand forward and formed a perfect fist.
Seeing what he was trying to do, Izuku laughed and fist bumped him back.
[----------------------------------------------------]
User's relationship with All Might (Toshinori Yagi) jumped up by 40 points.
[----------------------------------------------------]
A nice bond was made between the teacher and the student.
***************************************************
On his way back, Izuku went to a jewelry store and bought a present for Toga.
”I wanted to wait for the quirk to emerge, but it's a good thing I left early, since this shop would be already closed by the time I was done with checking my quirk out.
I bought her a pendant, it was kinda expensive, but she said she never really enjoyed her birthday properly. I gotta make this one a special one. Oh... Wait... I still don't know how old she is. Damn it!”
Izuku was completely tired. He just wanted to lay down in bed and rest for at least a month.
'I still need to call Nemuri and make a cake for Toga. Just how stressful can one day be? I died multiple times today, killed a person and ate something disgusting. Probably the worst day of my life. I've got no energy whatsoever, and I might even kill myself, just to regain it back. I wouldn't die for real anyway.” Izuku joked.
