Beginning of the End

This morning was practically no different, despite a good run and a good mood, the training did not go very well.

Mashirao beat me again, outright and even by the first knockout of all time - which, in the context of my psychological age, was incredibly annoying. It looked like this: I, holding a sweeping spinner over my head, dived into the sweep and, seeing that he had no time to dodge, was sure that the cartridge would remain with me!

And this tailed one simply smashed the floor with its tail log and, changing the trajectory of its movement, stupidly jumped over me.

At the same time, he hit me with his knee in the forehead with all his might.

- "Oh, for some reason the room is spinning. Hey Mashirao, when did you master the split quirk?"

- "Demi, are you okay?"

After I recovered, I felt sad.

It's good that at least I didn't have to go to the doctor for an examination, the healing ointment that I received for daily training helped.

But there was little joy from this.

Not only did a twelve year old guy knock me down with one punch, but even the guy I thought was useless 4 months ago is progressing very quickly.

And I? And I - nothing. It was only my ego that was hurt, even though I understand that I do very little training, and I had no experience in battles before these sparrings, But it's still a shame that I'm the owner of one of the most powerful systems in the multiverse,although she has defects, and I can't even defeat a non-Pro-Hero .

My mood became even worse, and having decided to skip school today, I went to the park, since there was no point in going to the shelter, no one was waiting there anyway.

I thought on the way. I generally got the impression that people in this world would be stronger and more resilient than they were in mine. 

Yes, it's not surprising, just remember the same Lemillion (Mirio Togata), who, even after losing his quirk, was able to resist the villains. 

However, he had been training for half his life, well, yes, this is such a rarity.

 I was in a bad mood, and besides, I was attacked by reflexive thoughtfulness. 

Some thought was spinning in my head, which I couldn't catch by the tail.

And suddenly, as if on the phone, I was hooked on the news about the destructive battle of the All might against a rather famous and powerful villain nicknamed Toxin-chainsaw. 

After a protracted battle, Toxin was stopped and captured, and, no matter how strong he was, he was not a competitor to the Symbol of Peace. 

Besides, such things happen quite often, so everything would be fine.

But then strange things began to happen that attracted all sorts of conspiracy supporters. Some of them suggested that there was more than one villain: firstly, fear was inspired by the fact that someone was able to give Hero Number One full-fledged competition - a necessary condition for a protracted battle. 

Toxin was good, cruel and strong, but not that much. Secondly, panic posts circulated online that the All might was seriously wounded - to confirm this, they posted a photograph of the battle site, which had become a flat desert, and completely covered in blood. 

This assumption was supported by the fact that the second villain (if he existed) fled the scene of the crime, and the fact that All might himself, contrary to custom, did not give an interview after the fight, but disappeared somewhere. 

Of course, no one gave way to these defeatist views: there were absolutely no eyewitnesses to the battle, the hero himself quickly enough (a couple of weeks) appeared in public, as if nothing had happened, saving people, and such comments and posts were suspiciously quickly erased. 

People breathed a sigh of relief, everything returned to normal...

I, who knew a little more than others because of the anime I watched in my past life, just bit my lips and trained, trained, trained.

All might did not fight with Toxin, All might fought with All-for-One - his archenemy and, probably, one one of the first and oldest possessor of quirks of all living people. 

All-for-One, he is also a man with the surname Shigaraki - which I somehow managed to remember from a past life - was a shadow figure. 

On the Internet it was impossible to find a single mention of such a person or such an incredible quirk that allows him to literally for centuries collect, take away, accumulate, combine and even give to other people almost any other people's superpowers, becoming stronger and more dangerous over time. 

But he was. 

The eminence grise of the underworld existed in the series and was the main threat to the civilized world, and I still had no reason to doubt the canonicity of the story, viewed once upon a time on an old laptop by one terminally ill disabled person. 

By the way, an interesting point about Shigaraki: his nickname: All-for-One. Obviously, this is a mirror name of the heroic quirk "One for All". Yes, it's unlikely that he himself gave this name to the quirk..

Although, if not him, then who? Be that as it may, fads appeared a little more than two centuries ago. 

And All-for-One found this time. As I understand it, Shigaraki's longevity was also due to some kind of quirk, probably of a regenerative type. 

Although, if he had it, I don't understand why he couldn't restore his face in the future - broken, by the way, in this particular fight a couple of weeks ago. 

On the other hand, it is foolish to expect that an infinitely strong and cunning creature has not stolen powerful regeneration for itself over the decades of its existence. 

If I were him, I would acquire such an ability first thing, and I think it is extremely dangerous to consider this monster stupider than myself. Apparently, it was this quirk (or these) that allowed him to survive now...

And yes - a good guy, and also my father, All might, was really injured in this battle...

 If you can call it that, the loss of his left lung, stomach, several ribs and a dozen surgeries. And I In the series, in my opinion, literally a piece of his torso was missing.

 There was less and less time left.

The countdown to the loss of all Toshinori's powers. - aka All Might, aka the owner of the One-for-All quirk, aka the Symbol of Peace, aka the strongest hero on the planet - is already underway, I only have a few years left.

This means that I need to speed up in terms of gaining strength.
