I could never imagine it's already been two weeks since I've infiltrated UA without any hiccups. It's strange; I didn't expect it to be so easy; I suppose it makes somewhat sense. Why would anyone expect a double agent to infiltrate the school as a student with the full purpose of killing All Might? Just the idea makes me laugh to myself. While progress was ultimately slow, that would soon change with a chance encounter that would change anything.

I took a long-winded sigh staring dully at my notes with serval textbooks all around. "I didn't expect hero work would come with so much written work..."

Looking around the relatively empty library, I stretched my arms back, yawning, losing my patience with this system. How much longer would I have to play hero? "You look to be struggling, Y/N."

I looked up to see a plain-looking girl smiling at me, leaning forward mockingly. "Do I know you?"

"You enjoying your new life, don't forget this is but a game."

My eyes widened slightly as I sat up, putting my pencil down. "Toga, damn, I knew your quirk did change the appearance of those blood you drink, but I didn't know it worked that well. I couldn't even recognise you."

"That's the idea." She said, sitting opposite me. "You haven't returned All for One's calls. He's starting to worry."

"Did Shigaraki say that? This mission takes time; I can't just waltz in win the heart of the masses and take out the target all in time for tea, you know. "

"We know that; it's just you're getting too buddy buddy with the enemy. I hope you aren't having second thoughts."

Laughing to myself at these remarks, I stood up, packing my bag. "Isn't that the idea? You can tell old Shig he'll get his head on a platter. All in good time." About to leave, I turned to Toga taking another look. "I prefer this look. You should keep it."

Stepping out of the library, I looked to my watch, seeing it was almost the end of study hall. I still had time to grab a bite to eat and ask around. Walking down the hallway, I soon heard students whispering to each other, gathering into a small crowd. What was the deal? Had something happened? Going to take a look, I stopped in my tracks as I heard the laughter that sent shivers down my spine. It was him.

All Might burst through the doors dressed as a regular teacher laughing away. "Good afternoon everyone, I am here!"

Memories of that day roared back as I couldn't help but find my hands shaking. Strains of red string fell from my hand as I felt my mind just snap. Before I knew it, I lunged at All Might, holding my hands over his throat digging them in tightly.

"Y/N? Young Y/N? Are you alright?" I looked up at All Might towering over me with his false heroic smile. "You don't look too good."

Going to speak, I kept feeling a tug at my heart laughter felt my ears. Everyone was staring at me, laughing and pointing. "He's afraid; nothing has changed. Just a pathetic villain."

I felt myself about to be sick as I pivoted into the bathroom, falling to my knees, vomiting into the toilet, panting heavily. Why did he have to show up now of all times? Look at you, Y/N falling apart over nothing but a mere man. It's been four years. Pull yourself together!

Dragging myself out of the toilet, I washed my hands, cleaning my face. Looking directly forward for a split moment, my reflection was different. It was a man with white hair and red strains matching. Getting a closer look, it returned to my own as I blinked a few times. "You're better than this Y/N; get a hold of yourself."

"What is there to pull together? He's right outside. We could kill him right now."

I glanced around, holding my head whimpering. "Not again... You're not real. You're not."
