My hero academia:Am I worthy?

Endeavour stood tall, casting a fiery gaze upon his enemies, as if burning their souls. The Nomu always feared fire, for when they were created, punishments for disobedience and betrayal were severe. However, the drive to fulfill orders proved stronger than their fear of the flame-wielding hero.

"Come on, I'm still standing! I crave battle!" he exclaimed.

All the Nomu, as if unleashed, charged at Endeavour in a swarm, but he merely smirked at their animalistic instinct.

"Hell Spider!" Endeavour shouted, activating fiery whips that struck the enemies. The heat was so unbearable that the lower-ranked Nomu fell dead, unable to withstand the might of the fiery hero. The few who managed to get closer engaged him in hand-to-hand combat, but Endeavour burned their protected brains despite their ability to regenerate.

Realizing his tactic, the Nomu began to surround him from all sides, hoping to catch him off guard with a dense, massive attack. They all leapt at him, hoping to overwhelm him with numbers. Under the pile of Nomu bodies, Endeavour maintained his composure and raised the temperature of his body and surroundings to burn the weaker Nomu and reduce their numbers.

"Increasing temperature: Heat of the Heavy Star!" The temperature around Endeavour rose to a record 700 degrees, turning some Nomu to ash and melting others like ice. Rising through the mountain of ash and congealed blood, Endeavour saw 27 A-rank Nomu who, for the first time, felt fear before an opponent who burned everything with his presence.

"Afraid? Where is your vaunted regeneration that can restore everything?" Endeavour began to overheat quickly due to the "Increasing Temperature" ability. Exhaling steam, he transferred the fire from his body to his fists to minimize the impact on his stamina.

Endeavour wanted to immediately attack the remaining Nomu, but his partner, Hawk, reported the current situation with All For One.

"Endeavour, I'm a kilometer away from All For One. The situation is much worse than I thought: everything is on fire here, and at the moment Almighty is fighting All For One," said Keigo, gripping his sword.

"Understood," Endeavour replied dryly, fighting hand-to-hand with the Nomu. They couldn't fully recover the damage inflicted on them because his fire burned their regenerative cells, slowing their recovery and exposing vulnerable spots for attack. Endeavour held back his flames to avoid going on a rampage and burning everything around, including heroes. There was no pity for the enemies, and he dealt with them brutally. Thanks to his ruthlessness, he burned 25 A-rank Nomu who offered little resistance. Burning the rest with his gaze, he lunged at them, using his reactive thrust to accelerate and destroy the last Nomu.

"This is Endeavour, the Nomu have been eliminated. I'm heading your way," he said, but interference in the radio communication prevented him from connecting with the others. Sensing something amiss, he soared into the air thanks to his fire. What he saw was hard to describe as the use of a single quirk. His eyes witnessed a scene where several heroes were simultaneously impaled: Hawk, Almighty, and several other heroes hanging in the air thanks to tentacles.

Unable to contain his anger, he rushed at incredible speed toward All For One, who was irritated that the army of heroes had managed to defeat his Nomu army. However, he was satisfied that Almighty had fallen and lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Seeing the approaching fiery figure, All For One tensed, as the heat and fire he felt were perceptible a kilometer away without using detection quirks. Hawk fell to the ground but managed to soften his landing thanks to his wings.

Without any words or speeches, Endeavour charged at him, using his medium temperature to break through his shield, but the shields held, causing a smirk on All For One's face as he broadly smiled at Endeavour in greeting. But this smile did not please the fiery hero, who was trying to use every possible means to destroy these shields.

"Well, what a sight. Endeavour himself came to prove why he's number two," All For One said. Endeavour always aspired to be number one but could never surpass Almighty. Almighty's power was on another level, and Endeavour could not surpass him despite all his efforts. Their distinctive trait was that, unlike Almighty, Endeavour possessed a cold mind and calculation, showing no mercy to his enemies. On the internet, he was called the "Fiery Guillotine" for villains. While Almighty was supported by children who admired his speeches, Endeavour refused to give interviews, performing his duties impeccably and silently.

Without responding to All For One, Endeavour increased the temperature, intending to defeat the symbol of darkness that terrorized the hero society with his final move. Retreating to a safe distance, he activated the Hell Spider.

"Hell Spider!" Eight fiery whips surrounded All For One, who smiled at such a move. Trying to humiliate his opponent further, All For One disabled his shields, taking the attack head-on and activating the fire resistance quirk that helped withstand the blow. But there was something All For One did not expect: the high temperature of Endeavour slowed his regeneration. He looked at his hand, which was recovering from the burn much slower than before. The dust settled, and the figure of Endeavour hovered in the air, emitting steam from his entire body to avoid overheating from using the flame quirk. Ignoring his scorched hand, All For One began to press on Endeavour's emotions.

"Not bad. At least you're not as hypocritical as Almighty. Your flame is impressive, Endeavour, but your physical might is not as impressive as Almighty's. It's a pity that society doesn't notice your achievements, focusing only on Almighty and his exploits," All For One activated a telepathic wave that threw Endeavour to the ground.

Endeavour lay on the ground, catching his breath. He stood up, despite his fire burning him, despite his resistance. In half an hour of battle, he had never been so exhausted, but this wasn't his limit. Adrenaline in his blood made him stand up, gritting his teeth to dull the pain. But the words of All For One, aimed at his mind, hurt more. Though it was a provocation, it reflected the truth. Flying up once more, he soared into the sky at incredible speed, flying at him like a fiery torpedo, burning the air around.

"Jet Fire!" shouted Endeavour, forming a fiery fist that crashed into All For One, lying on the ground with a charred costume. All For One realized that Endeavour was a formidable opponent, possessing what Almighty lacked: strategic intelligence. Before he could finish his thoughts, Endeavour renewed the attack with new force, driving him into the ground with his fiery might.

Activating his shield with one hand, he used the other to blow Endeavour into the air, dispelling his fire with an air cannon activated in time. Rising and seeing all his wounds from this battle, he decided not to prolong it and take the One for All quirk and Endeavour.

"Ha, Endeavour, not bad. But wouldn't you like to join me? No one will look at you with disdain, and thanks to my efforts, you'll become the number one this country deserves," All For One said, deciding to use flames that even Almighty couldn't withstand.

"I don't need your help. I will remain a hero who achieved everything himself without any help. If I can't surpass Almighty, I'm sure my sons will be able to do it," with these words, he quickly approached him, grabbing his hands so he couldn't activate his quirk. Squeezing them with all his might, he activated his fire, starting to burn them with fueled rage, he began to rise into the sky. But he didn't know about All For One's quirk, which could emit hellfire not inferior to his own.

[Fire Breath: Hell's Heat]

Fire burst from All For One's mouth, roasting all of Endeavour's body. However, he managed to endure the hellish flames, approaching All For One's face for a strike, but All For One intercepted his hand, starting to steal the hellfire quirk. Endeavour began to feel his resistance weakening, and the fire on his hands was fading. Just as Endeavour would have been left without quirks, his partner severed All For One's hand.

"Hawk!" Enraged, he directed a laser at Hawk, but Hawk skillfully dodged it. Finally, getting close, Hawk plunged his red sword into All For One's heart. Hawk planned to raise the sword toward his head to slice him in half, but the sword was deeply stuck and refused to come out of the chest cavity. Throwing Hawk aside, Endeavour finally freed himself from the grip, catching Hawk, who had lost consciousness, in his arms and descending to the ground. Laying him on the unburned ground, they were approached by Almighty, who was holding his bleeding wound.

"Endeavour, I understand our rivalry, but in the face of a real threat, we must unite our efforts. I have prepared my most powerful strike, and I need cover to finally defeat him," Almighty said, who no longer had that inspiring voice heard on television. Almighty would have fallen to the ground from fatigue, but he was caught by Endeavour with the words:

"Though you're my rival in rank, you've always given me the drive to push beyond my limits. In the face of a common threat, I set aside our rivalry for the sake of victory," grasping Almighty's hand in a brotherly handshake, he helped him rise. Almighty weakly but smiled at Endeavour's words.

"Together as one!"
