A/N: So, before this chapter begins I'd like to point out that some scenes were skipped over in this chapter. However, they did happen. I just simply didn't want to change any of them and I didn't want to just rewrite them into this story. Also, I'm sure that you noticed already, but I changed the title of the story. I did it because I decided to go a different route with the story and what it would be about, and it simply didn't fit anymore. I hope you'll all understand and with that out of the way, enjoy.

All Might POV

"So… its already that time." It was the day of the UA entrance exam, and ten months after I had met a remarkable young man. He worked hard, harder than any one else who would be applying to UA this year.

I made my way towards the now barren beach with three things in mind, I would be seeing just how far my young predecessor had come, I would be bestowing "One For All" upon him, the power that has been cultivated over many generations to become what it is today, and I would be congratulating him, because he truly earned it.

I reached the beached to find nothing, absolutely nothing, it was truly beautiful. Not a single piece of trash was left, just the beautiful sand with an exhausted young man lying on it.

Izuku POV

I was resting from the grueling work I had just finished, with a smile, that could rival All Might's, on my face. "No matter how long I train, it's still just as exhausting." "That's completely normal." I opened my eyes to find All might's huge figure standing over me.

"Is that sweat or tears all over your face young Midoriya?" I weakly got up to face him. "Neither. It's proof of my hard work." I said, failing to hold in my grin. "No, it isn't."

"Huh?" All might raised his arm and gently rested it on my shoulder. "THIS is the proof of your hard work."

My smile broke out as I looked down at my body, it was toned and hard now, completely different from my fragile figure ten months ago. I looked back up to find All Might holding his phone with a picture, of me lying face down on the ground, on it. "Is…this me?" "I know right? Almost unrecognizable from a few months ago. Such improvement!" My joy was beginning to turn into an old, but familiar, feeling. "There's still a long road ahead of you before you can inherit my full power set, but it's starting to look like you can do it!"

"Do I deserve this, are you sure? You put so much time and energy into helping me. How did I ever end up so lucky?" I couldn't hold back my tears just then. Then, I could hear All Might's Iconic laugh, but this time, it seemed like it was filled with pride.

"I was your hard work that did this, not mine. Now, for your reward, Izuku Midoriya." I composed myself and answered. "Yes sir!" my voice cracking a little. I watched as he picked a hair out of his head and said: "Someone told me this once. There's a difference between being lucky and deserving, one's an action, the other a reward. Never get the two confused. Take that to heart, young man. This gift, you earned it with your own valiant efforts."

And so, I held out my weak quirkless hands, and grabbed the future.

"Eat this." "Huh?"

A/N: Now, I'm sorry this chapter wasn't as long as the rest. But, I wanted to give this moment its own special chapter, because of how special it is. Well, please let me know what you think of this chapter and the story, so far. And as always, I hoped you enjoyed.
