My Avatar is the Heroine

Yukino, who didn't want to be involved, simply turned her head away.

"So, who do you guys think will get first place? I'm betting on Sero," Eijiro Kirishima said decisively.

"I'm guessing Su Lin. He's never shown off super speed, though."

"I think so too. This guy's strength is always a mystery. Underestimating him would be a definite loss."

"Anyway, Deku's gonna be last," Bakugo said maliciously.

Soon, the five of them took their positions, spread out around the massive sports field.

It was hard to even imagine how big U.A. High was; the area of just one sports field was comparable to a small city. Even as a student here, Su Lin still hadn't managed to explore the entire campus.

"Alright, everyone ready? On your marks... START!"

With All Might's roar, the five individuals set off simultaneously.

Sero was practically in the lead from the start. His tape was like cheating; by wrapping it around steel, he could propel himself forward rapidly through the air.

Tenya Iida's engines were naturally impressive, and Mina Ashido's acid acted as a lubricant for her, allowing her to glide when applied to her feet.

Midoriya's 5% power was a given, but...

After a few steps, Yukino's body suddenly vanished. Ten meters away, a smaller girl, looking like a middle schooler, instantly reappeared.

"Let the reality shatter, let the spirit be crushed. Dark Void Escape!"

Void Escape. It was a randomly named Quirk, essentially making her spatial adaptability stronger, allowing her to achieve an effect similar to Shrink to Inch.

Of course, Rikka didn't have the ability to warp space; she was simply utilizing spatial energy.

"Dark...?"

Fumikage Tokoyami's body straightened slightly upon hearing the peculiar declaration.

Chapter 65: All For One's Deeds

"This guy is fast."

Sweat beaded on the brow of the muscular All Might.

He genuinely couldn't figure out how many Avatars Su Lin had.

And each one was so beautiful. In fact, besides Yukino, there were quite a few boys who fell in love at first sight with Sister Doma and X-Hair. This led to countless love letters, most of which were destroyed by Shota Aizawa without Su Lin's knowledge. Otherwise, seeing so many boys confessing to him would probably drive him to depression.

"Sero's Quirk is really suited for this kind of venue, but compared to him, isn't Su Lin a bit too much?" Kirishima felt like he had a psychological complex regarding Su Lin.

Rikka's movement seemed completely unaffected by air resistance as she floated through the air at high speed. She landed on the central platform a full half-minute before Sero.

"Race over. First place, Su Lin."

All Might smiled and handed a banner to Rikka.

After taking the banner, she transformed back into Yukino and calmly leaned against the nearby railing.

Soon, the others arrived in a hurry and looked at Yukino with a sense of speechlessness.

"That was way too fast."

"Everyone's application of their Quirks has improved significantly since the entrance exam. Let's face the final exams in this state." All Might gave the five of them a thumbs-up. "Alright, first group dismissed. Next group, get ready."

After saying this, All Might subtly walked over to Midoriya and Su Lin and whispered, "After this class, you two come see me."

"The two of us?" Yukino glanced at Midoriya, puzzled.

By the time the class ended, it was already time to go home.

Yukino and Midoriya arrived at the office together. The moment they opened the door, they saw the skeletal All Might sitting silently on the sofa.

"Lock the door," All Might gestured.

Yukino frowned, trying hard to recall, but couldn't remember the original plot details for a moment.

After all, she had watched for so long; it was impossible to remember every detail.

The two sat opposite All Might and then heard him say, "I've called you here to tell you about the origin of ONE.FOR.ALL."

"The origin of ONE.FOR.ALL?"

"Yes, you are also qualified to know." All Might glanced at Yukino, his voice suppressed. "I heard... you two were both licked by the Hero Killer."

Yukino's lips twitched, a shiver running down her spine. "Yes..."

"I heard he has a Quirk that can steal abilities by ingesting blood?" Izuku Midoriya asked.

"Yes, Young Midoriya, do you remember what I told you when I passed my power on?"

"Eat it." Midoriya's expression immediately became incredibly twisted.

"Pfft, not that line." All Might spat out a mouthful of blood. "I meant, as long as DNA can be ingested, the method and means are irrelevant."

"What? Then does that mean the Hero Killer also got ONE.FOR.ALL?" Izuku Midoriya jumped up in horror.

"No, no, I only mentioned it because I was afraid you'd worry. Have you already forgotten?" All Might sighed. "ONE.FOR.ALL can only be transferred to someone when the owner wishes to. It's impossible to forcibly take it, but it can be forcibly given by the holder. It's a special Quirk, and its creation process was also special, as it was derived from another Quirk. That Quirk's name is ALLFORONE. It can steal other people's Quirks for its own use, and it can also bestow Quirks onto others."

What he said next was almost identical to what Yukino already knew.

ALL FOR ONE.

In the extraordinary dawn period when Quirks were first born, social order collapsed, laws lost their meaning, and civilization stagnated.

At that time, that person stood up and united everyone with his absolute power.

He grew stronger by absorbing others' Quirks and won people over by granting them Quirks. He committed atrocities, and in the blink of an eye, became the ruler of evil, reigning over all of Japan.

Some of those he granted Quirks to became speechless puppets (similar to Nomu) unable to bear the load. Others became extremely powerful by gaining one or more Quirks.

Although this person was formidable, he happened to have a weak, Quirkless younger brother. The brother possessed a strong sense of justice and constantly opposed his brother's evil deeds.

Perhaps out of disgust and a desire for control over his brother, he forcibly granted him the Quirk [Power Storage].

However, no one expected that this Quirkless brother actually possessed a Quirk within him that even he was unaware of: [Quirk Bestowal].

Thus, [Power Storage] and [Quirk Bestowal] merged, becoming the current ONE FOR ALL.

After All Might finished speaking, he let out a wry smile. "Ironically, justice is often born from evil."

"Wait, why are you suddenly telling me this?" Midoriya felt a sense of foreboding.

"Because he's someone who can steal others' Quirks. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to gain the Quirk to stop aging and live to this day. His failed brother passed on his Quirk to his successors, hoping to one day stop that guy. And it's in this generation that I finally defeated him. But unexpectedly, he didn't die. Instead, he's the mastermind behind the Villain Alliance, endangering the world once again. Simply put, ONE FOR ALL exists to defeat ALL FOR ONE. Perhaps one day, you too will face that great evil head-on. I know this is cruel, but..."

"I'll work hard," Midoriya interrupted decisively.

Yukino sat quietly beside them, listening.

At this moment, she couldn't help but ask in her heart, "System, will I have to leave this world immediately after defeating ALL FOR ONE?"

[You will be given a certain buffer period.]

The system replied.

"Teacher All Might," Yukino said, raising her head seriously, "You called me here and told me such an important secret. You hope I will also help Midoriya achieve the goal of defeating All For One, right?"

All Might nodded grimly.

"I see the possibility of defeating him in you as well."

"What?" Izuku Midoriya turned his head in shock.

He already knew Su Lin was strong and highly praised by All Might, but... defeating ALL FOR ONE seemed impossible.

Although X-Hair was powerful, he had never truly displayed strength beyond that of the No. 1 hero, let alone...

"Then, leave it to me. I will kill him even if it costs me my life," Yukino said resolutely.

"No, Su Lin, that's too scary," Midoriya said, his face pale with fright. "I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Tch." Yukino turned her head away, too lazy to bother with him.

Besides, Avatars resurrect when they die. Does he really think I'm that stupid?

Chapter 66: Really Fainted

Izuku Midoriya felt a deep sense of loss at Yukino's indifferent attitude.

He didn't even dare to look at her again, worried that she might be angry.

Faced with this scene, All Might coughed dryly, feeling that the profound atmosphere he had created was instantly ruined.

So young people are easily entangled in emotions. If the person I liked when I was young was Su Lin... I probably wouldn't be much better.

He thought speechlessly, then said to Su Lin, "I've said what I needed to say. You can go back now. I have a few things to discuss with Midoriya."

"Understood."

Yukino stood up and left the office.

After Yukino was far away, All Might said to the nervous Midoriya, "You performed very well. Your teacher has a very high evaluation of you."

Although Midoriya didn't receive any internship offers from agencies this time, he was noticed by All Might's teacher, the reclusive hero Gran Torino, and went to intern with him.

Because he had mastered the full-cover of ONE FOR ALL ahead of schedule, Gran Torino's evaluation of Midoriya was much higher than in the original story.

"All Might..." Hearing these words, Izuku Midoriya didn't get excited. "I was wondering, if you had met me and Su Lin at the same time, then the successor of ONE FOR ALL would have been her, right?"

All Might was silent for a moment, then said, "There are no 'what ifs' in fate."

He would never regret his choice.

At this moment, Yukino was walking home with her backpack.

She was wearing a black robe and mask as part of her combat attire.

Although her long, slender legs in black stockings were visible below the robe, and her long black hair extended from beneath the mask, this set of uniform did give her a considerable sense of security.

More importantly, after putting it on, the probability of being targeted by bad guys decreased significantly.

Perhaps this was human nature; when criminals choose their targets, they instinctively avoid those who appear somewhat unusual.

"Danger!"

Just then, she heard a panicked cry from a distance.

Yukino immediately looked over and saw two men rushing out of a building.

One of them was carrying a huge safe, and the other was holding a terrified little girl.

The woman chasing them from the house cried and pleaded with those around her, "Can someone save my daughter?"

Unfortunately, no one stepped forward to help.

"Don't come any closer, or she's dead."

The two thugs held knives to the little girl's neck, backing away as they approached a small car not far away.

Yukino frowned, circled around to the side of the building, grabbed the railing overhead, and leaped lightly onto the second-floor walkway. She then took a deep breath and quickly approached her targets down the corridor in front of her.

It wasn't until she was close to the targets' heads that the two thugs noticed the strange person in black.

"Danger!"

The man who had kidnapped the little girl looked up and saw a dark shadow descending from the sky.

Bang!

Yukino's leg slammed hard into his shoulder, but... this exaggerated blow felt like kicking a solid steel plate, barely harming the target's body.

However, the impact of this kick was terrifying. Large cracks spread across the pavement beneath his feet, and his bones let out a crack. He staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

While the target was still unsteady, Yukino snatched the little girl from his grasp and held her in her arms. Seeing that things weren't going well, the other man beside him swung an iron bar, aiming a heavy blow at her head.

Whoosh~

She deftly bent down, and the iron bar grazed her ear, creating a strong gust of wind.

But the other man's Quirk was clearly not that simple. In the blink of an eye, dozens of knives flew out, controlled by thin, long threads, and stabbed towards her body.

Yukino leaped back with all her might, dodging these flying knives. However, the man she had kicked also swung a large fruit knife at her neck at the same time.

"Tch." Unable to dodge, Yukino directly reached out and grabbed the sharp blade as it chopped down.

Her palm was instantly cut deeply, and blood flowed down from her fair skin.
