MHA : QUIRK EVOLUTION

"That's true," All Might nodded. Given what happened, he needed to focus more on Ezaki.

From what he'd seen so far, All Might was increasingly agreeing with something Aizawa Shouta had once said: Ezaki... might be the next man to inherit the title of symbol of peace.

If, as he suspected, All For One was behind the USJ incident, then if Ezaki's Quirk was taken, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After all, if someone so young could develop a Quirk to this extent, in the hands of All For One, it would probably become a nightmare for the whole country.

However, neither All Might nor All For One had expected that Ezaki's Quirk couldn't be stolen or passed on to someone else.

"In the meantime, All Might, I'll personally arrange for some people to protect him secretly in a few days," the principal said calmly.

All Might nodded.

On the way home, Ezaki seemed distracted. Of course, it wasn't because of the USJ incident, but because his parents were about to return from their business trip.

Currently, Toga Himiko no longer had the blood of the other person and couldn't transform anymore.

Although the media hadn't reported that Toga Himiko was a wanted criminal, many professional heroes knew about it.

"Maybe I'll think about it tonight," Ezaki Kitazawa sighed before heading home.

That day, Ezaki Kitazawa planned to rest for half a day and then train for the rest of the day.

Originally, Ezaki was supposed to be alone, but Toga Himiko said she was bored at home, so she decided to follow him into the forest.

Today, Ezaki only trained the "Martial Arts Mastery" Quirk. As for the others, he'd put them off for now, since this Quirk seemed particularly useful.

Improving his physical skills would also benefit his other Quirks.

Although Toga Himiko followed him, she never interrupted. Sometimes she sat on a rock, counting ants, or went by the river to watch fish. When she got tired, she would lie down on the grass and sleep.

Soon, the evening arrived.

After just one afternoon of training, Ezaki Kitazawa could clearly feel some changes.

Since gaining this body-enhancing Quirk, his physical skills had increased five times faster than normal.

"Let's try it!" 

Ezaki took a deep breath and then punched a massive tree in front of him.

"Boom!" The tree was hit with such force that it created a large dent.

The noise seemed to have startled Toga Himiko, who was nearby, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at Ezaki Kitazawa with a blank expression.

"Let's try testing my speed now!"

Ezaki started running at his fastest speed. His speed had also improved.

Not long after, Ezaki reached Toga Himiko and softly said, "Alright, it's getting dark. Let's head home."

Toga Himiko blinked and nodded.

"You works so hard every day."

Ezaki smiled wryly. "There's no choice. In this world, if you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. Only by becoming strong can you have a voice."

Of course, it's the same in any world—only the strong have a voice. The weak are destined to be taken advantage of.

"It feels really hard to survive in this world," Toga Himiko said, pouting.

Ezaki smiled but didn't reply.

"By the way, Ezaki-kun, I remember you said you brought me here to be your labor, right?" Suddenly, Toga Himiko asked.

"Yeah," Ezaki Kitazawa answered.

"Since I'm your labor, you should have the responsibility to protect me, right?" Toga Himiko asked, her face filled with anticipation.

Ezaki raised an eyebrow and glanced at her before waving his hand. "That depends on how you perform."

"So, how am I doing so far?" Toga Himiko asked, pulling on Ezaki's arm, blinking her eyes, as if she wouldn't let go unless he answered.

"Recently? Hmm... not bad, barely acceptable. Keep it up," Ezaki Kitazawa replied calmly.

"Okay!" 

Upon hearing his answer, Toga Himiko smiled broadly, her face lighting up with satisfaction.

Seeing her smile, Ezaki couldn't help but chuckle. This girl is way too easy to please.

Because of Toga Himiko's status, after returning home, Ezaki went to the market himself to buy some ingredients.

Once he returned, he wasn't sure if it was because he praised her in the forest, but after taking the ingredients from his hands, Toga Himiko immediately got busy in the kitchen.

She told Ezaki to just wait on the couch for dinner.

Ezaki couldn't help but enjoy the moment. He didn't hold back and sat on the couch to watch TV.

During this time, he also called his parents to check in. After confirming they wouldn't be home until late the next day, he relaxed and continued watching TV.

The next day, as usual, after breakfast, Ezaki went to school.

Meanwhile, in Class 1-A, the students were still talking about the events at USJ.

"Creek!"

At that moment, the door to Class 1-A opened, and Aizawa Shouta, fully wrapped in bandages, appeared before them.

"No... really? Aizawa-sensei recovered that fast?"

"I was just thinking about who would lead today's class meeting."

"He's so dedicated!!"

"Good morning!" Aizawa Shouta greeted them.

"Good morning, Aizawa-sensei!" the students replied.

"Mm," Aizawa nodded, then limped up to the podium.

"Aizawa-sensei, it's really good to see you're okay," Iida Tenya said.
