The Demon's Return

All For One's invitation threw the entire battlefield into shock.

The reporters hovering above the camp could barely keep their voices steady.

"This is hard to believe. All For One has appeared at the forest training camp."

Across Japan, viewers stared at their screens.

All For One.

A name many people had hoped would stay buried.

In the early age of Quirks, he had ruled from the shadows by stealing Quirks, granting them to others, and building a network of fear around himself.

To the public, his name meant tyranny, violence, and a dark period society had tried to forget.

Now that name had returned with the League of Villains.

And he was trying to recruit Yuto Kanzaki.

The news spread faster than the reporters could explain it.

"All For One is back?"

"The League was connected to him?"

"And he wants Yuto?"

The possibility alone chilled the country.

Yuto was powerful. His growth had already shocked students, Pro Heroes, villains, and the public. If he stood beside All For One, the balance of society could collapse.

In the vehicle rushing toward the camp, All Might's face twisted with anger.

"All For One..."

Aizawa noticed the change immediately.

"All Might, calm down."

"He killed my master," All Might said, voice low and raw. "How am I supposed to stay calm?"

Midnight's expression tightened.

"Yuto's potential is too valuable. We can't let All For One pull him away from U.A."

Several Pro Heroes nodded.

"Kanzaki has already changed the whole battle. U.A. can't lose him."

"I do not want that kid as an enemy."

"All Might, you know him best. Tell us he won't accept."

All Might took a deep breath. His hands were still clenched, but his voice steadied.

"Young Yuto will not join the League."

Those words loosened some of the tension inside the vehicle.

On the battlefield, everyone watching waited for Yuto's answer.

Join All For One or reject him.

One sentence could change the direction of the war.

Yuto's mouth curved slightly.
