Of your own free will.

On the train, on the way to Tokyo, I find myself looking at the paper with the address.

The way I got her was weird. I got it while digging through anything that might be useful to figure out how to get a quirk on the dark web.

After searching for a long time, I finally managed to find something really useful, despite the files being few, they raised my hopes.

The file I found talked about how the test goal was successfully completed and how the body reacted to the new quirk.

The keyword here was "how the body reacted to the new quirk".

Unfortunately, I couldn't get almost any new information, just the city where the project was a success.

Frustrated, I returned my searches to this city. After a long time, I finally found something that pertained to my information.

What I found was quite frightening, it was something hidden from the public, but in a way that was accessible to the public.

There had been a huge explosion at a research center and it was reported that this happened because of a villain, but the truth that was hidden was that the research center was actually funded by the Japanese government, research having a high priority and secret.

And the main hidden information was that the explosion was not caused by a villain, but by a crazed man carrying two quirks.

Exactly, two quirks. The man somehow managed to create red tentacles from his back and also managed to expel fire from his skin.

The tentacles were not the effect of one of his quirks, but an entirely new second quirk. I have an entire notebook detailing every detail of this man and two of his quirks.

Two completely different quirks working together proved to be an extreme difficulty for the heroes, who ended up having a hard time with this "villain."

He was only defeated after Endeavor arrived and overpowered him with his fire quirk.

Anyway, what made me extremely happy was that the man wore two quirks. I can't say if it was the same as the file I stole from the dark web, but it was enough to get me excited.

After researching for a long time, I finally found the doctor and researcher who was behind this project, his name was Akihiro Kanou, a prestigious surgeon.

And well, my destiny is to meet Kanou directly. Specifically meeting him at his hospital. And this hospital is located in Tokyo.

================================================== ======

A few hours later, I finally arrived in Tokyo. A big and very busy city. Even though some things caught my attention, I didn't stop for anything, just continued my way towards Kanou Hospital, a hospital called Kanou General Hospital.

It didn't take long to find it, a hospital for those of high class and well known to all of Tokyo.

I was ready to open the door, only to freeze. Fear, distrust, doubt all came to me at once.

But other things will overlap shortly thereafter, my mom, Kachan... All Might.

Be a Hero...

Anything that left me frozen disappeared, giving in to determination and hope.

I opened the hospital door slowly. A pure white floor welcomed me.

A little further along was the reception, with two beautiful women smiling and saying good night and welcome.

Some guards guarded some places in the white hall. Some looking at me suspiciously.

I ignored them and walked towards the receptionists.

"G-Good Night. II-I have an appointment with Doctor Akihiro Kanou, by the name of Midoriya Izuku." As I spoke I handed over the paper confirming my appointment.

I tried my best not to stutter, which didn't work very well.

The beautiful Onee-San receptionist looked at the paper for just a moment, before smiling and putting the paper away.

"We've confirmed your appointment, just follow the guard and your appointment will take place in a few moments." I nodded my head. One of the guards in the hall walked towards me and told me to follow him.

A man as well recognized even by the government as the Doctor would hardly accept an appointment with someone like me, so before I got here I had to hack the hospital system and make an appointment for myself.

I'm confident in my abilities so luckily I was able to make a last-minute appointment.

I followed the guard through the hospital corridors and not long after, standing at a door beautifully decorated in gold. The guard pressed something that sounded like a doorbell and we stood for a few minutes without saying anything.

When I started to get restless and thinking that something went wrong the screen on the doorbell flashed green. The guard opened the door slowly.

"Come in, the Doctor will be waiting for you inside." I waved towards the guard and entered the white hallway behind the door shaking to my toes.

This hallway, while wide, was still unmistakably a hallway. Luckily it was much shorter than the others in the hospital, so I arrived at the end in a few seconds. If it were longer I could have a heart attack.

A glass door appeared in my vision and as I approached the door opened. Soon ahead was a table, with a middle-aged man sitting in his chair.

The man had white hair and plenty of wrinkles on his face, but a face I recognized after seeing his face several times while researching it.

"D-Doctor Kanou," I mumbled as I stuttered. I tried to avoid, so as not to give the doctor a bad impression, the one who might have been my hope, but I couldn't.

"Good evening Midoriya Izuku, have a seat first." Akihiro Kanou said while smiling, so I sat down in the chair across from him.

"So what brought you here, to the point where you're willing to hack my hospital system just to make an appointment with me ?." Akihiro Kanou said while still smiling, but this time it was a smile that chilled my bones.

"H-How did you..."

"How do you know ?. Did you really think that making a last-minute appointment, in the middle of the night and still with me, was something normal ?." Unable to finish, Doctor Kanou answered in my place.

"I'm a busy man you know, to have an appointment with me you need months in advance." This sure caught me off guard.

My hope and desire for a quirk took away my rational thinking ?.

"Well, no need to be tense, your action was fun so I'm willing to listen to you, the one who hacked into my hospital just to make an appointment with me." Doctor Kanou smiled playfully.

I almost had an attack again but stopped and took a deep breath, now is not the time to panic.

I took out an envelope and handed it to Doctor Kanou. Which he opened slowly.

Inside the envelope were some images of the accident that happened at the research center.

"II know what really happened, II also know that you were the one who led the research... II know you managed to give a second quirk to the man who destroyed the research facility." The smile on Doctor Kanou's face faded.

"Oh boy, I would be very careful with your next words." What Doctor Kanou said made me cringe in fear, your cold look didn't help. I took a deep breath to calm myself and looked directly at Doctor Kanou.

"I... crave a quirk... no matter what I need to do..." I said after taking all my courage.

Silence crept into Doctor Kanou's room, I felt a drop of sweat trickle down my cheek as I looked at the Doctor.

"Kuhuhu. Kuhuhuhaahahaha." After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Doctor Kanou started to laugh, which made me look at him confused.

I was paralyzed, not understanding why the Doctor was laughing.

"Haha boy, you're so fun. I never imagined someone would be willing to hack my hospital, ask for an appointment with me, to ask for something like this. Yes, I read your record, about how you don't own a quirk, but for you to come this far, I can say I'm amazed. Haha boy, you're really fun." Doctor Kanou got up from his chair and looked back, where there was a huge window that gave a nice view of Tokyo.

"Alright boy, you got me, I'll give you what you want. I'll give you a quirk. Haha."

I felt hope and despair rise in me equally at the doctor's words.

"Th-Thank you, Doctor... But why are you laughing?." The Doctor's laugh was what bothered me the most at this moment.

"Haha Boy, you wouldn't understand." I avoided asking anything else, looking through the reflection of the window I could see Doctor Kanou's face. A face with a small but psychopathic smile, his eyes seemed to reflect his own evil and the dry laugh that came out of his voice seemed to completely freeze the room.

Somehow I knew that from now on there was no going back. I opened the door to hell and willingly entered, all to get what I most desire.
