The next day, everyone had breakfast together. But there was a strange sensation that everyone felt. Midoriya was strangely serious. Could it be that he knew that they had seen his pod number? No, it couldn't be. No one would ever think that Kirishima was able to lie, even if he had lied to Midoriya when he said he had found the key card next to his bedroom door. Midoriya finished first as usual. Lately he had been eating less. That also had his classmates worried. After finishing, he went out of the building in direction of the pods. Everyone at the breakfast table stopped eating.
- So, it is time - said Todoroki - Are we really going to do this?
- Yes - answered Uraraka - If we are going to help him, we have to understand what happens to him. And he won't say everything if we just ask. - everyone agreed with that. After this, they all got up and went downstairs to exit the building, and then in direction of Midoriya's pod. When they arrived, Yaoyorozu got out the key card and passed it on front of the passcode visor which was next to the door. The door opened slowly, without a sound. They entered an hexagonal corridor which was 1Km long.That was the only entrance to Midoriya's pod. The door closed automatically behind them when they had all entered. They walked slowly through the corridor to not make any sound until they arrived to the end of the passage. A door with the words BAY 06 was just in front of them.

- Double security... - said Iida - this is starting to look more and more like a prison cell than it looks like a training pod.
- Yeah mine is simpler - said Ojiro - and I bet all of your pods are less protected than this one.
- But there's one thing which I don't understand - said Tokoyami - Why do they need to protect Midoriya like this?
- He has a strong Quirk - replied Yaoyorozu - Maybe they fear that someone would try to kidnap him and use his power for doing something evil, or something like that.
- Yeah, that might be it - said Shoji - Anyway, we'll find out when we ask Midoriya. He'll have no other option than telling us.
- Well, let's open the door then - said Yaoyorozu. Having said this, she used the card again. But it didn't work.
- Try using the other side - said Todoroki. Yaoyorozu did it, and this time it worked. They entered an enormous room with white floor, grey walls, and white ceiling. Some platforms got out of the walls at different heights. And right in the center, was Midoriya, on his hands and knees on the floor, grunting with pain, as a black mass got out of him surrounding him, almost completely covering him up.
- Midoriya? - asked Uraraka - Are you all right? - Midoriya heard her and turned his head to their direction. When he saw them, his expression was one of pure despair.
- What are you all doing here?! - shouted Midoriya as he yelled from the pain again before saying - Get out of here!!! This place is not safe for you!!!
- But, how can't it be safe if it looks like it's been built to protect you? - said Denki.
- Because it is not for protecting me you IMBECILE!!! - shouted Midoriya. It was the first time they have heard him say something like that - It is for protecting ALL OF YOU!!!
- From what could this protect us if we are on the outside?! - said Mineta, suddenly fearing the answer.
- Because it is for protecting you from ME!!! - he stopped with another yelp of pain - NOW GET OUT!!!
- But... - started Uraraka, but Midoriya didn't let her finish.
- I SAID NOW!!! - this last word ended up in a loud roar. Everyone started to run to the exit, as they heard a loud laugh behind them. Yaoyorozu quickly opened the door using the key card, and they all rushed inside the tunnel. Before the door closed, the last thing they saw was something too beast-like to be fully human, but with a look in his eyes too clever for being an animal. After this they all run to the exit. But when they were mid-way, they heard a strange sound behind them. They suddenly stopped, and looked at BAY 06's door, which hadn't been able to close completely because of eight finger which were holding the door's panels so they wouldn't close. And that something, was little by little opening the door. They all began to run again as they heard the door behind them make a loud noise, which sounded like metal breaking. When they arrived at the entrance Yaoyorozu started to look for the key, before looking behind and realizing it was far behind them. The creature which moments earlier was their classmate had stopped 25 meters behind them, and was looking at them. As if he was waiting for something. Then suddenly, the door was sent flying backwards and the students were thrown out of the corridor by an enormous shadow. Then, the shadow talked... no shouted.
- I AM HERE - said All Might, as they heard the creature roaring disappointed as a new opponent appeared between him and his prey. Then, the creature did a deep sound, which they didn't understand at first. Then they realized that it was talking.
- Get of my way - hissed the creature - You are standing between me and my food!
- No I won't - replied All Might - I don't think that young Midoriya would appreciate to regain consciousness having eaten half of his classmates. - the creature suddenly took a step back.
- Midoriya... I know that name...- said the creature looking really shocked. Then suddenly, he looked at All Might as half his face retracted partly to show a surprised Midoriya.
- A...All Might? - he said - what am I doing outside? I thought I was inside trying to control the new form... - but then he looked at himself and freezed - I am... All Might, I am using it... I am using it and I can think straight! Hahahahahahahah! - he started laughing, as he repositioned the half of the face which was retracted. He then performed a series of punches and dodges while he continued laughing. Finally, he regained his human form, looking at All Might with an enormous smile on his face.
- I did it All Might! - he said happily - I did... what are you guys doing there on the ground? - but suddenly his smile turned into a regret look as he remembered what had happened. - Oh no... I'm so sorry guys... I... - but he couldn't finish his sentence, as all his classmates suddenly started to laugh. Even Bakugou and Todoroki, even though they stopped quickly - Wh... What's happening? Weren't you scared? All Might, I think they've lost their minds... - said Midoriya. When they all finished laughing, Kirishima started talking.
- Yes, of course we were scared shitless, and for a good reason. But seeing you controlling that form was amazing! Don't sweat it! In the end nothing bad happened, so chill out, and enjoy your success man! - the rest of the class couldn't disagree with him.
- Well - said All Might - there are still two days left until our trip to the USJ, but seeing as you've all been working really hard, and also after this experience, you can have those two day to relax and prepare yourselves in whatever way you want. But please, don't do something as foolish as that again, ok?
- YES ALL MIGHT!!! - said everyone.
- Very well then. - said All Might - then, WHO WANTS CAKE?
- I DO!!! - everyone retorted.
