From the scene of the incident, All Might rushed to the association in a flurry, and after submitting his report, he rushed to the association's database.
I have to say that as the world's largest civilian organization, the association's database is very complete, and almost all information related to quirks can be found. Especially with All Might's identity, he could access a lot of 'confidential' information, but when he came out after staying in the database for more than half an hour, his face was full of disappointment.
'What exactly are those patterns?'
Holding the patterns he drew himself afterward, All Might's face was full of doubts. He had also handed these drawings to the Hero Association's 'quirk researchers' before, but they also said they couldn't understand them.
'Should I go ask the principal? Maybe the principal knows something?'
Although there was no evidence to show that this thing was useful, and it might just be a strange pattern, his intuition told him that this might be the key!
And at this moment, a group of students in training clothes walked over from the distance.
"All Might!!"
Although All Might had been a teacher for new students at the school for some time, everyone was inevitably a little excited when they saw him. After all, almost all the students here decided to become 'Pro Heroes' because they took All Might as their idol, and one of the green-haired boys among them was even more excited.
"Good afternoon, everyone~ How was your class this afternoon?"
Although he was the NO. 1 Pro Hero in Neon, All Might himself was not pretentious at all. Instead, he talked with everyone like a big friend, and everyone naturally complained about the previous classes, to which All Might laughed heartily, because he also came from this step back in the day.
Working hard with friends! Complaining together! Fighting together!
Looking at these students, he felt happy but also felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.
'I have to hold on! I can't fall before a new hope appears!'
But just as All Might was sighing, he noticed that a student was staring at the 'paper' in his hand with a frown.
"Yaoyorozu? What's wrong? Do you recognize this thing?"
Although All Might didn't have much hope, Momo Yaoyorozu was the 'smartest' student in the class. Because of her special quirk, she had learned a lot of knowledge, so she might be able to find some clues.
"This... it looks a little familiar?"
Momo Yaoyorozu also didn't expect All Might to suddenly talk to her. She just felt that it looked a little familiar.
All Might's eyes lit up when he heard Momo Yaoyorozu words!
"Then take a closer look?"
Although this kind of 'case' shouldn't be given to Momo Yaoyorozu as a student, it was okay to just investigate the information, and it could also be considered her 'training'.
And Momo Yaoyorozu, who heard All Might's words, was also a little surprised. She didn't expect All Might to actually hand it over to her.
After looking at it for a while, she finally remembered where she had seen it, but her face turned red.
"Yaoyorozu, what's wrong?"
Tenya Iida, who was standing next to her, also felt a little strange when he saw Momo Yaoyorozu expression. Everyone had curiously looked at the two pieces of paper before, and they really didn't feel that there was anything strange about them.
"No! Nothing! All Might-sensei! I don't have any impression of this one, but the one on this one seems to be 'Runic characters' from Norse mythology."
"Foreign language?"
As soon as Momo Yaoyorozu finished speaking, the others also showed strange expressions.
"Strictly speaking, it is, but it doesn't belong to the writing used by ordinary people. The so-called 'Runic characters' are actually special characters that the locals use for 'fortune-telling'. According to legend, the Norse god king sacrificed one of his eyes to gain the knowledge of runes, and what he gained were 'Runic characters'."
Momo Yaoyorozu words immediately made everyone exclaim. Besides her, no one else here had ever paid attention to 'mythology'. They just simply thought it was amazing, but her explanation did not stop there.
"But that's just a legend. No one knows if it really exists, and no one even knows exactly how many types there are. It's just deduced from legends. However, 'Runic characters' do exist in some places, and this one is one of them, but I forgot what it specifically is."
After Momo Yaoyorozu finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in admiration, but one 'airhead' discovered a blind spot.
"Wow, that's amazing! But how does Yaoyorozu-san know this?"
This question immediately made everyone's eyes focus on Momo Yaoyorozu, and her originally red face suddenly became even redder. It wasn't until she was looked at by everyone and felt uncomfortable that she turned her head away with a red face.
"It's nothing, I just thought 'magic' was cool when I was a kid and wanted to see if my 'quirk' could imitate it, so I studied it a little..."
Momo Yaoyorozu words immediately made everyone laugh, but there was no malice. After all, everyone has had such fantasies, it's just that the object of the fantasy is different.
And Momo Yaoyorozu answer also made All Might feel surprised. Although it felt a little strange, it at least gave him a possibility, even if this possibility was very strange.
After hurriedly saying goodbye to everyone, he also rushed to the principal's office. As expected, several teachers were gathered there at this time.
Before, when 'Midnight' came back and said she had failed, everyone wasn't too surprised. After all, if her ability was guarded against, failure was not an accident. But All Might also failed, which made people feel unbelievable. Although that person defeated a 'quirk criminal', in reality, if All Might had taken action, it would have been just a matter of one punch.
"How was it? All Might, was that guy's ability very powerful?"
Facing Mic's question, All Might thought for a moment but shook his head.
"I don't know if it counts as powerful..."
"What do you mean?"
All Might's statement made people even more curious, but when they finished listening to All Might's explanation, their expressions all became very strange. After all, a man who used an 'ice spear' and had a right arm that was all ice... was really a little strange. The fighting style was more like an ancient lancer.
"Principal, when I came just now, I happened to run into the kids from Class A, and Momo Yaoyorozu said that the 'mark' I found at the scene seems to be 'Runic characters' from Norse mythology, but she doesn't know which one. Could you help me look it up?"
In fact, anyone with a computer could find it, but since he came here, it was natural to give it to the principal with the highest authority.
Soon, a row of 'characters' appeared on the projector.
"According to the information from the Y country, there are 24 types of Runic characters there, and the 25th one is blank. As for this picture——————"
As the picture was magnified, an almost identical image appeared on the projector.
"ISA, which stands for——————ice!"
The meeting room, which had been buzzing with discussion, immediately fell silent.
Ice? That man's ability seemed to be ice? Could it be that it's not a quirk?!
An absurd possibility appeared in everyone's minds...
