Quirkless Hero-Chapter 171 - : Signs

"What are you trying to do!?"

The news was spreading like wildfire online, and since Midoriya Izuku was part of the "League of Villains," he naturally heard about it. He immediately realized that something was off, so he went straight to the mastermind behind it all—All For One.

"Of course, I'm just giving you a little help, Midoriya-kun."

"You bastard... I don't need your interference!"

Midoriya clenched his fists, seething with anger. Right now, the internet was flooded with discussions about him, and most people actually supported what he did. Many were even demanding justice for the "Steel Wire Death God."

Even though this situation seemed to be in his favor... Midoriya knew the truth. If the government really backed down and cleared his name... the whole structure of society could start to collapse.

"Midoriya-kun, I think you're misunderstanding something here."

All For One remained completely calm as he spoke, unfazed by Midoriya's anger.

"The people are supporting you of their own free will. After learning about what you did, they made their own choices. To them, you are the hero they believe in."

"I barely had to do anything. I just made sure the reporters told the truth about your actions, and this is the result."

"You bastard..."

Midoriya gritted his teeth in frustration.

As much as he hated to admit it, All For One wasn't wrong. This whole thing was a setup, but in the end, he had willingly walked right into it.

What he hadn't expected was the sheer scale of the reaction.

His actions had sparked a massive debate in society, and even a majority of the citizens and pro heroes were supporting him. That was something he never saw coming.

But if this kept going, the chaos would only grow worse.

There was only one solution—Midoriya decided he would leave the "League of Villains" and turn himself in to All Might. If he got arrested by the heroes and the police, it might be the only way to put an end to all of this.

"Midoriya-kun, you're planning to surrender to the heroes and police to stop this mess, aren't you?"

All For One had already seen right through him, smiling as he spoke.

"And what if I am? It's not like I ever promised to sell my soul to the 'League of Villains.'"

"Of course, I won't stop you if that's what you want to do, but do you really think that will end the conflict?"

Midoriya's steps came to a halt.

He slowly turned back to face the man behind all of this.

"...What do you mean?"

"Midoriya-kun, you're just the spark that ignited this explosion. If you get arrested, the chaos won't stop—it'll only get worse."

Midoriya lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly.

He didn't want to admit it, but All For One was right.

This wasn't just about him. This was a storm that had been brewing for a long time.

"You've seen how the families of innocent people killed by villains suffer, haven't you?"

All For One's words stabbed straight into his heart like needles.

Midoriya couldn't even lift his head. He remembered the "Butcher" and the innocent victim he had slaughtered—the young wife crying in despair, the four-year-old daughter who didn't understand, only waiting for her father to come home.

"And what about the heroes who died protecting those innocent people? You should know what that's like too, right?"

Kouta... His parents were killed by villains. That boy had hated heroes ever since, hated the society that took his parents away.

"The reason people are rising up now is because they've had enough of this flawed hero society. And because you're also a victim of it, they sympathize with you. That's why they're supporting you."

"If you turn yourself in, chaos will break out immediately. The people have been holding back their anger for a long time."

Midoriya's shoulders slumped.

This guy... had planned everything down to the last detail. It was infuriating.

"Midoriya-kun, you're not just acting on your own anymore. You're carrying the hopes of countless people."

"They want to use you as a symbol to finally change this broken hero society."

Midoriya's thoughts were in turmoil.

He knew he couldn't trust this man... but everything he said was right in front of him, clear as day.

Even before he dreamed of being a hero, he had always been aware of the darkness lurking in hero society.

Back then, all he could do was watch and feel powerless.

Now that he truly understood everyone's expectations—especially after going through everything himself—Midoriya hesitated.

"I won't deny that All Might's actions were right. But the real problem is the laws of this so-called hero society, and the people who made them to serve their own interests."

It was surprising to hear even a bit of approval for All Might coming from All For One. Midoriya Izuku glanced at him, puzzled, but that was enough to shake his stance.

"I'll think about it..."

Leaving All For One's office, Midoriya's mind was in complete chaos. He needed to sort everything out before making a decision—this wasn't something he could just decide on the spot.

...

After Midoriya left, All For One tapped his forehead with his fingers, looking slightly troubled. He muttered to himself with a sigh.

"What a headache... If only Midoriya were as obedient as Tomura. But unfortunately, the kid idolizes All Might, so I had no choice but to say I agreed with that fool just to win him over."

"Well... it's not really tricking him. Midoriya is smart enough to figure things out for himself. This really is a great chance to change hero society."

"Of course... it's also a chance to destroy it completely!"

All For One's face twisted into a sinister grin. Reforming a system was a dangerous game—even he could get burned in the process.

But he held the ultimate trump card in his hands.

"Isn't that right, All Might? By now, you must have figured it out... Shigaraki Tomura is actually 'Shimura Tenko.'"

Meanwhile, at Nighteye's agency, the emergency meeting had just wrapped up. The top ten heroes, including Endeavor, all left to return to their agencies and prepare for what was coming.

As All Might was about to head back to U.A. High School, Detective Tsukauchi called him aside.

"Tsukauchi, what is it?"

"All Might, the thing you asked me to look into... I have the answer."

With that, Tsukauchi handed him a file.

All Might took it quickly and flipped through the pages. The information was clear as day.

"Shigaraki Tomura... He really is Shimura Tenko. My master's grandson..."

The file slipped from All Might's hands. His face was filled with pain and despair. Ever since All For One first mentioned it, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about it.

His master, Shimura Nana... The only person he ever felt he had failed.

She had passed "One For All" down to him. She had fought desperately to buy time for his growth. When All For One came for her, she had given her life to hold him off.

At just 18 years old, All Might had fled to America to escape All For One's reach.

To protect her bloodline, his teacher, Gran Torino, had hidden Shimura Nana's child with distant relatives.

Years later, when All Might returned to Japan and waged his long battle against All For One, he and Gran Torino had chosen not to reach out. They feared their war would bring danger to Shimura's remaining family.

And so, All For One found Shimura Tenko.

Now known as Shigaraki Tomura, the grandson of Shimura Nana.
