~O~

The next morning, the green haired boy opened his eyes and stretched his arms. And like any other normal person who was kidnapped and being held captive by the Symbol of Evil and a bunch of villains, he looked around to see the time on his All Might themed alarm clock. But he furrowed his eyebrows when he saw nothing on the desk next to his bed.

He sat up straight and rubbed his eyes.

Oh yeah... He almost forgot.

"I'm not in my room, I'm in the villain's base..." He mumbled to himself as he replayed the previous events in his head. He was now in his new room. It looked pretty plain if you asked him. Well, everything looked plain without All Might to him and he was 100% sure that any of these people aren't gonna let him get some of All Might's merchandise.

He might playing a villain but it didn't means he was no longer All Might's number one fanboy. Ha, jokes on the villains for thinking otherwise. Now coming to think of being a fanboy, he had to get that limited edition All Might figure that wa—!

A knock on his bedroom door made him come out of his morning thoughts.

Kurogiri opened the door as soon as Midoriya said it was open. The man told him to get dressed and eat his breakfast because today would be his first session.

'Session?' Midoriya thought to himself. Regardless to say, he followed Kurogiri out.

~O~

After a while, the green haired boy found himself following Kurogiri down a flight of stairs that led them to the underground part of the building. On his way, he figured out it was about time when All For One used him for the real purpose he was kidnapped in the first place; providing quirks.

'Impatient.' Midoriya mentally noted down. A characteristic of the Symbol of Evil he had seen twice by now.

He just received the duplication quirk yesterday and he already was going to get started with taking quirks from him? Does Midoriya even have the quirks he required already? Perhaps he wanted a quirk that originally belonged to someone from UA? Or a Pro Hero Midoriya had interacted before? Could it be another villain? Or maybe a civilian too? Maybe Aizawa's? That could be really beneficial and if it was him in his place he would proba—!

"Is it a habit of yours?" Kurogiri asked.

Midoriya smiled awkwardly realizing that he was mumbling this whole time.

"Yeah... You can say that." Midoriya nervously chuckled.

"Well, here we are" Kurogiri stopped and pointed to a metal door in front of him, "He's waiting inside."

Midoriya only nodded as he walked in the room after Kurogiri left.

All For One was standing near a metal chair that certainly did not look very comfortable. A wicked grin appeared on his destroyed face as he saw the green haired boy.

Midoriya gulped.

It was safe to say he still felt a little scared near that man.

~O~

Endeavor had tracked down all five of the phone numbers, who they belonged to, last phone calls and current location.

And by the looks of it, whoever gave him that book certainly wasn't sure of which one of the five would be actually beneficial to him. Only if he knew it was just a first year student trying his best for Japan not to get utterly and completely destroyed by the hands of All For One.

Three of the five were just random citizens who didn't even look like they were even remotely close to being connected to this mystery of Izuku Midoriya's kidnapping case.

The fourth and fifth, however, belonged to an unknown person and a Pro Hero respectively. Via the call history and recorded calls it was confirmed who the unknown person was. It was none other than a member of the League of Villains; Dabi. And the Pro Hero was Best Jeanist, who has been reported to be under recovery.

What connects these two?

Endeavor then turned to another page of the book and started decrypting it.

After a minute or two, his eyes widened. After reading what was written there Endeavor made a personal call to UA, requesting them to hand over the case of the kidnapped student to his agency.

~O~

"What!? How do you even know a student was kidnapped?!"

Present Mic's concern was reasonable. Only the Hero Course students — they didn't know about Hatsume — and the staff members knew about the incident. How did he know?! Did a student reported him!? Was it Todoroki?!

"So, it's true... Considering that, the other things written in that book must be true as well..." Endeavor mumbled to himself, not caring if he was still on the call.

"What book!?!" Present Mic yelled.

"Mic, calm down—!" All Might said.

The teachers and the principal were in the meeting room and it could be said that they were on a group call.

"Endeavor, will you kindly explain how you know about our student and why you wish to take the case?" Nezu asked, quieting down everyone else.

They heard the flame hero sigh, he said, "Listen, someone sent me this book with cryptic messages and I don't know why or how but whoever sent this knew about this situation before it happened. They have written certain things to follow for a safe path to solve this case. And judging by the loud cockatoo's reaction, everything written is so far true."

"And who are you calling a loud cockatoo!?" Present Mic slammed his fists on the table.

"You." Aizawa replied.

"Hm... Is there anything that shows from who that book could be, Endeavor?" Nezu asked. Present Mic could be seen hissing at Aizawa in the background like a rebellious five years old.

"My first and only guess is the Commission. There's a sign on the last page." Endeavor replied. Well, when Midoriya worked hard to put those messages in that book, he knew that the heroes would definitely get suspicious if it was from a random person. So, to make them follow the book properly, Midoriya left a fake signature of the Head of Public Safety Commission. The Head shouldn't have signed every Provincial Hero License if he didn't want his signature to get faked or copied though. Oh, well...

After a few minutes, Nezu replied and gave Endeavor the case. But he told him to keep this situation under wraps, even after Midoriya was back safely. Hopefully, he'll be back safely.

Unknown to the staff members, Kyoka Jirou had heard all of the conversation via her Earphone Jacks and was now heading back to the dorms.

Soon, she found herself in Yaoyorozu's room with the said girl and Shinsou.

"Endeavor got the case already. Change of plans. We're heading out earlier." Jirou informed.

The other two nodded in agreement.

It was time to tell the others, as said in the journal.

~O~

Endeavor ended the call and placed down his phone. He then got up and left his office. He needed some more heroes on this. Probably Hawks or Mirko.

Though, there on the desk lied the note that told him to do so. It read,

"All For One is planning to create an army of Nomus capable of talking and thinking which means they can strategize too. Clearly, more powerful than what's been seen before. If I'm not wrong then this is his plan for now. And to start it off, his first Nomu to start off the army will be Best Jeanist. Dabi will take him soon. Follow them. Take the case of the missing student as well. He'll be there too. He is collecting information. Take Jeanist and leave him there."

~O~

Midoriya stood in front of the Symbol of Evil with a stern face, hands locked behind his back as he waited for him to say something.

And soon, following his thoughts, All For One said, "Should I take it that you already know what you're here for or do you need an explanation?"

At this, Midoriya's eyes searched the room. There was no sign of Best Jeanist or anyone else either. It was just the two of them which meant All For One wanted something else.

Speaking of it, how did Midoriya know about Best Jeanist in the first place? Well, it's really easy to catch on to it when your enemy always leaves hints about his future plannings in your head while mentally torturing you.

When no reply came from the green haired boy, the man spoke up again, "Well, you see, we will be starting creating Nomus soon and our first volunteer will arrive sometime tomorrow. So, today, I'm sending you with the others to collect a few special quirks. We will start tomorrow."

Midoriya only nodded.

So, he had to get some people to attack him with their quirks? Noted. At least he got to go out of this place. He already joined hands with them so he didn't need to act like he was kidnapped, right?

"But before that, I would like to test it out first." All For One smirked.

And before he could say anything else, Midoriya understood what he meant. He was going to test out taking a quirk from Midoriya.

After the 'session' as Kurogiri called it, Midoriya was glad he was used to immense amounts of pain because because it felt like his head was going to explode any moment after All For One took Todoroki's quirk.

'Get used to it...' The green head thought.

~O~
