"But..."
All For One suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Then, he smirked and gestured toward Shigaraki Tomura.
"To avoid unnecessary losses, let my Nomu handle Ezaki Kitazawa. Your main target should be Midoriya Izuku. After this plan, I want One For All to completely disappear from this world."
As soon as All For One finished speaking, Shigaraki Tomura's voice rang out.
"But, Sensei, what about All Might?"
"Don't worry, Shigaraki Tomura. According to the list, All Might will not be present at the training camp."
All For One explained.
Hearing this, Shigaraki Tomura nodded.
"A few days ago, I heard some interesting news."
All For One suddenly said.
Shigaraki Tomura, Kurogiri, and a middle-aged man in a white lab coat all turned to look at him.
"What news, Sensei?"
"I-Island is planning to build a statue of Ezaki Kitazawa."
Shigaraki Tomura and the others were stunned.
"Why?"
"Yeah, Sensei, Ezaki Kitazawa is strong, but why would I-Island suddenly decide to build a statue of him?"
"If anyone deserves a statue, it should be All Might, right?"
"I heard it's because he saved I-Island. As a token of gratitude, the island's leaders made this decision. Hah… How pathetic."
"Alright, Shigaraki Tomura. Go back and finalize the training camp plan. Gather as many people as you can. Once my body recovers, I will personally take action and claim Ezaki Kitazawa's Quirk for myself."
All For One said slowly.
Shigaraki Tomura and the others nodded. Kurogiri activated his Warp Quirk and transported them away.
In just a few moments, only the middle-aged man in the lab coat and All For One remained.
"We don't have much time left. I need to recover as quickly as possible. During this time, I'll be relying on you."
All For One said to the man.
"I'll do my best, sir."
Meanwhile, on I-Island, Ezaki Kitazawa had been busy these past few days. Besides checking on the progress of the statue, he spent most of his time training to harness natural energy.
After several days of effort, he managed to cut down the time needed to half a minute.
Originally, he planned to continue training, but then David contacted him—his battle suit was finally ready.
Inside the lab…
"Try it on."
David said as he opened two small boxes. Inside one of them was a black wristband, about the size of a watch.
Ezaki Kitazawa nodded and put the wristband on his wrist. He pressed a button on it, and in the next moment, a brand-new battle suit covered his body.
The material was soft and flexible, so his movements weren't restricted at all.
"Looks like it fits perfectly!"
David smiled in satisfaction.
"Thanks, Professor David."
Ezaki Kitazawa said gratefully.
This new design made things a lot more convenient. Unlike before, when he had to carry around a bulky case for his battle suit, now he only needed to wear the wristband. A simple press of a button, and the suit would appear instantly. Press it again, and it would disappear.
"No need to thank me. You deserve it."
David smiled. Then, as if remembering something, he added,
"By the way, I heard from All Might… Your hero name is 'Miracle Hero,' right?"
Ezaki Kitazawa nodded but didn't say anything.
Honestly, he was regretting it now. The more he heard it, the more awkward it sounded. He needed to find a chance to change it.
"All Might's battle suits used to have names—like the Silver Age and the Golden Age. So, I decided to call your suit the 'Miracle Era.'"
David explained.
Ezaki Kitazawa didn't really care about the name. It wasn't like he had to shout it out like some kind of superhero transformation.
Click.
At that moment, the lab door swung open, and Melissa walked in. She glanced around at Ezaki Kitazawa's battle, then smiled.
"That battle suit looks really cool."
Ezaki Kitazawa pressed a button, switching back to his regular clothes.
"Melissa, I thought you had class today."
"I took the day off."
"Are you not feeling well?" Ezaki Kitazawa asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Of course not. Didn't my dad say yesterday that your battle suit would be ready today? And then you mentioned that after picking it up, you'd book a flight back to R-country the next day. So, I took the day off to take you out for some fun."
Melissa blinked her big eyes and flashed a sweet smile.
"That's really nice of you."
Ezaki Kitazawa chuckled.
"There's not much time left, so today, I'll show you around some fun spots on I-Island."
As she spoke, Melissa grabbed Ezaki Kitazawa's arm and pulled him outside. They spent almost the entire day exploring I-Island's most interesting places.
The next day, as planned, Ezaki Kitazawa boarded a plane back to R-country.
After getting off the train on his way home, he unexpectedly spotted Toga Himiko in a narrow alley.
With a slight smirk, he walked up.
"Hey… Toga? What are you doing here?"
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Toga Himiko visibly tensed. She stiffly turned her head and then flashed that same mischievous smile from their first meeting.
"Oh? It's you, Ezaki-kun."
"Looks like you really got your memories back."
