A Piping-Hot, Fresh Bento o(T_T)o

The so-called "exceeding the limit" leaves only three punches of strength remaining.

This does not mean that after Rikizo was attacked by 'AFO', the force of the attack exceeded his limit, greatly reducing his physical strength and leaving him with only enough strength to throw three more punches.

On the contrary, because of his 'Quirk' in order to give him enough power to withstand 'AFO's' punch, he forcibly squeezed out his physical strength, compressing the remaining three minutes of his power, which was like half of the impact, into Compress power to throw three punches like 'AFO's' punch.

What he meant by exceeding the limit was that, under the influence of his 'Quirk,' the muscles and strength throughout his body had exceeded the maximum load that his bones, internal organs, and other systems could withstand.

Although his 'Quirk' currently grants him immense vitality due to his muscular physique, allowing him to unleash the power of three punches even in this state, once that power is exhausted and his muscles and strength dissipate, he will inevitably be unable to survive with his bones and organs already severely damaged and exceeding their maximum capacity.

It was precisely because he foresaw his impending death that he spoke of seeking revenge.

As for his claim of proving himself...

If he could truly defeat or even eliminate 'AFO' here with those three punches, then he would naturally prove to the world that he had ever existed, proving that his life had some meaning.

As for the specific details, they are related to his family. It's likely to be another tragedy, like that of Ingenium, the older brother of Tenya Iida.

However, his brother did not appear in the original story, and naturally would not receive the attention of the will of the universe. Under such circumstances, the chances of him surviving were probably extremely slim.

His older brother, whom he had idolized and protected since childhood, suddenly passed away one day after being caught up in a battle between 'enemies' and 'heroes'. The younger brother, who had always been protected, then began to relentlessly strive to become stronger, relying on his own 'Quirk', even turning himself into a training fanatic. Finally, he gained enough power to avenge his brother. What expression would his face show then? A smile, sorrow, relief, or acceptance?

We can't possibly know for sure, but the only certainty is that the younger brother, who is constantly training and hoping to one day avenge his brother, is undoubtedly the protagonist of this story.

Unfortunately, the story is undoubtedly short. Once it ends, the younger brother, who was once the protagonist, will naturally be forgotten by everyone who knows the stories, just like the protagonists of other stories. Eventually, even the fact that he once existed will be forgotten, and he will be thrown into the corner of history, becoming an insignificant speck of dust in the vast history.

Now, Rikura, who has been driven to the Rikizo of death by 'AFO', is it possible that he will become the protagonist of another short story? No one knows for sure. But what everyone is certain of is that even in this short story, which is less than a chapter long, he may once again become the protagonist of a story, and once again become the protagonist of his own world.

At that moment, the story world with him as the protagonist will inevitably come to its grand finale. This is comparable to the current strongest Quirk combination of 'AFO', which is the power of three punches. It will also inevitably be the final lament and swan song of the protagonist of this world, like the afterglow of fireworks, swaying in the wind, ready to completely dissipate at any time.

That was the last brilliance and color that this firework could bring to people.

Even if people don't know its place of origin, the detailed production process, or what it went through before it finally came into the hands of this person and was able to shine.

Bang!

Splash...

"I... I will prove myself... I will avenge myself..."

Rikizo repeating himself, and even though he was buried under the rubble, he stood up as if without breaking a sweat.

His three-meter-tall body easily pushed aside the rubble and debris pressing down on him, creating a path for Uraraka Shige was pinned behind him, to escape the ruins.

At this moment, Rikizo looked extremely intimidating, but his condition did not seem to be very good.

Despite its three-meter height, complete with muscles, a shoulder width of over two meters, and a waist circumference of nearly two meters, it looks like a giant monster standing upright.

But the blood slowly seeping from its seven orifices was enough to tell that the giant beast had reached the end of its life and only had its last bit of strength left to fight back.

Then...

Boom!

What should have been a 'whoosh' or 'whoosh' sound of air being Rikizo turned into a deafening roar like a fighter jet flying by on Rikuzō's body. The sound caused the surrounding ruins to tremble, with dust and rubble falling down as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Uraraka Shige collapsed at the bottom of the large pit in the ruins, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Then, she activated her Quirk to get up with Quirk and slowly floated into the air, escaping the ruins that could collapse and bury her at any moment.

Rikizo, who had transformed into a gigantic, muscular monster, rushed to 'AFO' almost at the same time the sound of air being torn apart reached Uraraka Shige.

The wind pressure from the charge alone made AFO's clothes flutter loudly, sweeping up the gravel and dust along the path of the charge, which then pelted AFO with a series of crackling sounds.

"Drink it!!"

Only the 'gaps' squeezed into the muscles on his face, still overflowing with blood, proved that this person once had facial features.

The 'gap' at roughly the chin opened and closed slightly, from which came a somewhat muffled shout, muffled by the surrounding muscles.

Rikizo raised his right arm high towards 'AFO' and, just as he had done when he attacked Uraraka Shige, threw a punch from top to bottom.

The fist pushed aside the surrounding air, almost creating a shockwave. The powerful force told 'AFO' that it had to deal with this attack with caution.

Not far away, the elders of the 'Kyoyama Society', Stain and others, All Might who had just crawled out of the ruins and had become thinner, and Uraraka Shige who was floating on another set of ruins, were all somewhat astonished by Rikizo's attack.

No one would have expected that Rikizo could unleash such an attack.

Even though it was only three punches, no one would doubt the power contained in each punch.

This is the force of throwing a stone, enough to smash through half a housing complex.

Faced with such a swift, powerful, and devastating attack, 'AFO' could only raise his twisted right hand to confront it head-on.

Then their right hands collided, and the ground centered on the point where they fought sank again, becoming as solid and firm as a hard stone slab.

The surrounding air surged again as their fists clashed, eventually forming a hurricane that swept across the battlefield, with the two of them at its eye, soaring into the sky and allowing the moon, which had been obscured, to once again shine its light without restraint.

Everyone watching was affected, and even the helicopter carrying reporters in the distance became shaky and hung precariously in the air.
