"Alright..."
Ochaco nodded, then suddenly reacted and quickly looked up.
"Ren, do you know 'Super Seminary' well?"
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I only know a bit. I'm not that familiar with it..." Ren replied lightly, shaking his head.
"Hehe..."
Ochaco smiled, pressing her lips together.
It had to be said—Ren's words caused a subtle shift in her mood.
The rest of the journey became much more relaxed, and Ochaco was finally able to sleep peacefully without being disturbed.
Ren looked away.
...
U.A. High, known as one of the top hero academies, is the dream destination for countless students who want to become Pro Heroes.
And the entry barrier isn't impossibly high.
The main reason—
It's the alma mater of the No.1 Hero, All Might.
That alone inspires a new generation of aspiring heroes.
However, unknown to most people—
All Might has already begun working at U.A. High.
Reflected in the train window, Ren's calm expression seemed tied to the rise of heroes—and the future of this world.
"Super Seminary..."
The name surfaced in his mind again.
Originally, he hadn't planned to increase his strength much for now. After all, extracting from "Super Seminary" was already at the upper limit of what he could handle.
Void Body—
A powerful ability that greatly reduces physical damage and resists special attacks. Even at only 10%, it's enough to handle most threats for now.
Lightning Speed—
Even at 10%, it boosts his speed far beyond normal human limits.
Most Quirks in this world only grant specific abilities without significantly enhancing the user's base strength.
In other words—
Most heroes are still ordinary people with Quirks.
Cases like All Might are extremely rare.
Against typical opponents, even 10% of his abilities is more than enough.
Not to mention—
There are still many more abilities waiting to be extracted.
But now...
The popularity of "Super Seminary" seems far greater than he expected.
Even after five years, its influence hasn't faded.
In that case—
It might be time to bring it back into focus.
Watching the passing scenery with a thoughtful gaze, a faint smile formed on Ren's lips.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
...
Time passed slowly.
The train soon arrived at the station, and Ren gently woke Ochaco.
Startled, she tapped her head, quickly hugged her bag, and carefully made her way through the crowd.
After saying goodbye, Ren left on his own.
He didn't notice—
For a brief moment, Ochaco felt a sense of loss.
Watching him leave, she clenched her fists and looked at the unfamiliar city ahead.
"Alright! Let's do this!!"
...
Meeting Ochaco had only been a coincidence. Ren didn't dwell on it.
The sky had already begun to darken. Looking at the lively streets ahead, everything felt slightly surreal—
Yet undeniably real.
After buying some necessities, Ren headed to the place Gran Torino had arranged for him.
Pushing the door open—
The room was dim, but spotless, as if someone had just cleaned it.
Then—
Click—
The lights suddenly turned on.
"Ah! Young Ren, you're finally here!"
In an instant, All Might—muscular form—leapt into the center of the room, his face full of excitement.
Seeing All Might trying to act serious but failing, Ren couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth. He casually tossed his bag aside and dropped onto the sofa.
"Have something to eat, Young Ren. My cooking is quite good..."
All Might carefully sat on a stool, balancing awkwardly as he shuffled closer.
Even now, he still carried the habits he had developed around Gran Torino.
"No need, I've already eaten."
Ren shook his head slightly, then looked up with a faint smile.
"If you've got something to say, just say it. After all, I know you well enough."
"Haha... I can't hide anything from you."
All Might laughed, then suddenly stood up straight.
In an instant, his expression shifted from playful to completely serious.
He plucked a single hair from his head—
And held it out.
Ren already knew what this meant, but said nothing.
Then All Might spoke, his voice firm:
"Young Ren... now is the time for you to inherit my power!"
