(Flashback)

"Told you so." I whisper to Endeavor as we stood beside each other in a large room filled with a lot of reporters, the judges were currently deciding on which one of us is going to take All Might's place as the Symbol of Peace "I just hope to god its not me."

"I hope its not either of us jackass." I glared down at him

"Don't use foul language, Endeavor. Don't want to ruin your image, do you?" he glared up at me before straightening his collar with a huff, I look over & saw All Might, I give him a small wave & he lightly smiled & waved back at me with his arm that wasn't in a sling. Before we were waiting for the final decision All Might, or rather Yagi Toshinori, gave a speech of his retirement 

Of course... if he hadn't then why the fuck would we even be here?

"The Robotic Hero: Micro. Please step forward." & so I do while bowing my head "You are one of the most admirable Hero's throughout the entire country & also Norway, you have a kind heart & you are very polite despite your appearance. You think of others rather then yourself, your also remarkably strong & we need more heroes like you. But unfortunately, since you refuse to show us what you look like under the mask, we have some certain trust issues with you." I nodded my head

"That is very understandable, & I really do hope that I can gain more trust with the mask. I'd like to be one of those heroes that keeps their identity & life behind the mask a secret." with that I bow my head again & look back up at them, there was murmur among the judges & the people behind us, they then gestured for me to step back & I do

"The Flame Hero: Endeavor. Please step forward." I gave him a thumbs up & he nodded before walking up "You are also one of the most admirable Hero's throughout the country, your aggressive natures makes up for your talents & skills. You run an amazing Agency like Micro here, but unfortunately, your aggressive nature is whats pulling you back to being the No. 1 Hero. Even if you are the 2nd Ranked Hero you are not ready to be our Symbol of Peace." one of the judges gestures to me, which caused me to flinch

"Micro is more suited for the role as our Symbol of Peace." my eyes widened as cheers erupted throughout the entire room, I look over at All Might & see he gave me a thumbs up, I then look at Endeavor & see dread all over his face 

"As expected." he bows again & walks pass me, he places a hand on my shoulder & looks back at me "Good luck, old friend." I gasp when he called me that

"From 3rd to 1st, we here by announce you as the Sy--"

"Wait!!" I interrupted them just as they were about to slam the mallet down, everyone looks at me as I take a deep breath "I... I appreciate it that you think of me as the Symbol of Peace, really its an honor...! But, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to turn that down."

"WHAT?!?" 

"B-But--" I raise my hand as I shook my head

"I'd rather keep the reason why I don't want to be the Symbol of Peace & secret, & its only fair if Endeavor took All Might's place, but if it makes you feel any better I don't mind taking 2nd place. With that, I'll be taking my leave. Ha det." I salute them, turn around & walk away but before I did I pat Endeavor on the back "& this isn't out of pity either, Enji."
