"I'm sorry, but for my goal, I must defeat you!"
With these words that sounded like a declaration, with his right arm as the starting point, a cold air began to spread until it completely swept through the entire room. Except for Endeavor, who used his quirk to create a protective area for everyone, the other places were completely covered in frost, and All Might was the same.
And when the ice and snow completely swept through the room, Lancer finally launched his final attack.
「Fatal Charge!!」
The effect of using a lance and a long spear for skills was completely different. If using a lance was like a tank going at full power, then this time it was like a lightning bolt. But All Might still caught Lancer trace, but he had been wondering about one thing: why did he create so much ice? Was it for acceleration?
But just as he was about to take Lancer long spear head-on, an "accident" happened.
"Crack~ Crack~"
The ice surface under All Might's feet suddenly started to make a strange noise, and then several ice pillars shot up from below!
But how could this kind of thing restrain All Might? With just two swings of his arms, these ice spears were shattered, but before All Might could breathe a sigh of relief, more ice spears were already stabbing at him, and Lancer on the other side also began to change.
He, who was originally running wildly on the ice, suddenly leaped into mid-air, and then a huge ice shard shot out from under his feet at an angle. Lancer then ran wildly on the ice shard. The target of both of them was All Might, who was constantly swinging his hand blade to chop the ice spears.
And All Might also noticed the change on Lancer side, but countless ice spears were constantly stabbing at him. If he didn't deal with them, he would probably be instantly trapped.
But...
「Oklahoma Smash」
The so-called "Oklahoma Smash" was actually him raising his arms and spinning, creating a hurricane with his terrifying power. In terms of destructive power alone, it was not as good as other moves, but it was very useful for dealing with a large number of enemies.
With his frantic spinning, a hurricane rose from the ground, and the ice spear that Lancer was riding on finally arrived!
"Slash~!"
The collision between the two created countless ice flowers, and these ice flowers were blown by the hurricane that All Might created, flying everywhere, and even flew out of the castle through the large hole in the wall, looking incredibly gorgeous. But it was obvious that the two people in the field at this time would not care about these "trivial things."
Lancer, who was holding the spear shaft with both hands, was stepping on the solid ice and couldn't advance an inch, while All Might on the other side was desperately gritting his teeth and grabbing the spear shaft. The sharp blood aura cut countless small wounds on his palm, and blood was constantly dripping from his wrist onto the ice surface below him, but these were not the key.
Suddenly, and without any warning, All Might stumbled...
'Not good!!'
A dazzling red color slid down from mid-air. In the world covered in ice crystals, that hint of red was incredibly glaring, but what was even more glaring was the man who was standing tall and straight was now kneeling there in pain.
And behind him stood a man with a complicated expression. He did not take advantage of All Might's injury to attack; instead, his face was full of complexity.
What happened?!
No one knew what had happened. After all, the two of them were evenly matched just a moment ago, so how did All Might suddenly fall down?
"Hah~"
The gaze lasted for a few seconds, and in the end, he said with a conflicted tone what he hoped but also did not hope to say.
"I won."
The last time was a similar scene, but the only difference was that what he said was completely opposite, but what was the same was that Lancer expression was not very good.
"What exactly is going on?!"
The first to roar was not All Might's U.A. colleagues but Endeavor, who had been silent since the beginning. At this time, his face no longer had its usual coldness and calmness. Instead, it was filled with hysteria and disbelief.
"It should be All Might's old injury acting up again..."
"Old injury?! What old injury?!"
"..."
Shota Aizawa knew about All Might's serious injury, but there were two more people here now, and he didn't know whether he should say it out loud for a moment.
But at this moment...
"I'll say it!"
Lancer, who had one hand on All Might's shoulder and was healing him, suddenly spoke.
"All Might was seriously injured in his battle with 'All For One' back then. For all these years, his body has been deteriorating. As expected, it won't be long before he can no longer be the 'Symbol of Peace' and continue to protect this country, and he might even be in life danger."
Lancer emotionless words made Endeavor and Best Jean, who were hearing about this for the first time, widen their eyes in disbelief. But they still didn't believe the words of Lancer, this "enemy," and instead widened their eyes and looked at All Might, as if they were waiting for his answer.
And All Might originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded helplessly.
"Impossible!! Impossible!! If you retire! Then how can I defeat you!! What do you want me to do?!"
"I'm sorry, Endeavor. Just as Lancer said, at that time, as much as I would hate it, I can only rely on you all."
Looking at this tall man saying the word "rely," Endeavor's hysterical expression also gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of loss and dejection.
Ever since Endeavor's debut, he had always appeared in front of people as a "genius." His life could be said to have only two major regrets.
One was his family, and the other was All Might.
For the first one, this clumsy man didn't even know how to apologize, and his family was in a cold war state. Originally, surpassing All Might was his biggest spiritual pillar, but now, he suddenly learned that the other party was only a short time away from retiring from this stage, and he even felt that his life had lost its meaning for a while.
What was the point of being No. 1 without All Might?!
And All Might no longer paid attention to Endeavor. After all, he knew better than anyone that Endeavor was not such a fragile person. Instead, he looked at Lancer with a serious face.
"Lancer... what exactly do you want to do?"
Looking at the wound on his body, which was constantly squirming until it healed, and feeling the warm air and recovering stamina in his body, All Might once again affirmed his judgment. Lancer was definitely not a "villain," so what exactly did he want to do?!
