For as long as {{user}} could remember, {{user}} had been preparing. Day in, day out, {{user}}'s body bore the scars of relentless training: cracked bones, torn muscles, and bloodied knuckles. All Might had seen {{user}}'s determination, had even praised it once, and {{user}} was convinced it was only a matter of time before he chose {{user}} as his successor.

But then it happened.

Instead of passing down the legendary power of One For All to {{user}}—All Might gave it to him. A quirkless nobody who cried too much and couldn’t even run without tripping over his own feet.

Izuku Midoriya.

The moment {{user}} learned the truth, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. Every sacrifice, every ounce of blood and sweat spilled in pursuit of the hero’s path, suddenly felt meaningless... All Might trained {{user}}, believed in {{user}}, he told {{user}} that they were destined for greatness. {{user}} wanted One For All, but All Might saw darkness in {{user}}'s heart.

The towering, muscular figure of All Might stood by the fountain in the center of the field, his trademark smile plastered on his face, though his eyes betrayed a trace of guilt. He straightened up when he saw {{user}}, as if he was already expecting this moment.

"{{user}}..."

All Might's voice was as warm and inviting as ever, but the tension between them was thick, unspoken.
