NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: Omake (Word Count)
All Might's "Retirement" Announcement
The sun was setting over U.A. High, casting a warm golden glow over the school's campus. A large crowd of students, teachers, and civilians had gathered for an important announcement. All Might stood at the front, his massive figure towering over the crowd. His bright smile was contagious, and the crowd knew this would be a momentous day.
*"Everyone!"* All Might boomed. *"I have something very important to announce."*
The crowd fell silent, anticipation thick in the air.
*"I, Toshinori Yagi, the Symbol of Peace, have decided that it's time for me to retire."*
The announcement was met with gasps of shock and disbelief. Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Some people even started tearing up. It was a huge deal! The Symbol of Peace was stepping down.
*"No! Not All Might! He can't be gone!"* a student whispered, wide-eyed.
All Might raised his hand to calm the crowd. *"I have served this country for many years, and I believe that now it is time for a new generation to step up."*
But just as he said this, a loud voice rang out from the crowd.
*"Hold on a second, Toshi!"*
Zack appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, wearing a sparkly suit made entirely of tinfoil and holding a microphone. He jumped down from the roof of a nearby building, landing with a *thud* on the ground.
*"I've got a *better* announcement, All Might!"* Zack shouted, getting everyone's attention.
All Might blinked in confusion. *"Zack? What are you—"*
Zack interrupted him with a flourish. *"And I, Zack, am the new *Symbol of Chaos*!"*
All Might blinked, stunned. *"Wait, what? No one's replacing me. I'm still—"*
Zack snapped his fingers, and suddenly, All Might's deep, booming voice transformed into a high-pitched, squeaky sound.
*"I...I'm retiring because... I just can't handle it anymore... and I'm... I'm just... *so* tired... of fighting...!"*
The crowd gasped in confusion. Some were even starting to laugh. All Might's heroic persona was being... completely undermined.
"Wha... Zack! What did you do to my voice?!"* All Might cried, his face flushing red. *"I can't talk like this! This isn't funny!"
Zack gave him a thumbs up, grinning widely. "Oh, it's hilarious. Just roll with it! You've got the whole 'retiring hero' thing down now, with that adorable squeak of yours. You could start a new career in cartoons."
All Might tried to speak again, but his voice had only gotten higher, making everyone around him laugh harder.
*"Cut it out, Zack!"* All Might demanded, but it came out as *"Cuwit it owt, Zack!"*
Zack took a bow, dramatically. *"I'm just doing my part, Toshinori. Making sure your *retirement* announcement is a *smash hit*! You're welcome."*

#### **Chapter 3: Midoriya's Hero Costume Disaster**
The training grounds were bustling with activity. Midoriya was getting ready for his next big training exercise. He stood in front of the mirror in the locker room, excited to finally use his updated hero costume.
*"Alright, this is it! Time to show everyone how much I've improved!"* Midoriya grinned, adjusting the straps on his costume.
But as he turned around to inspect himself from all angles, he froze. His jaw dropped.
*"Wha... What happened to my costume?!?"*
Midoriya stared at himself in horror. Instead of his usual sleek, functional hero outfit, he was wearing a massive, fluffy version of himself. The suit was completely oversized. His gloves were so big they were practically drowning his hands, and his boots were like something out of a cartoon. His cape—oh, the cape—was bigger than his entire body and trailed behind him like a carpet.
*"This... this is not what I picked!"* Midoriya gasped, looking at the suit in disbelief.
As he stood there, paralyzed with shock, Zack appeared from behind a nearby pillar, holding a soda can and grinning mischievously.
*"What's up, Deku? I think you're looking a little too... *soft* for a hero! A little *fluff* never hurt anyone, right?"*
Midoriya stammered, trying to adjust the oversized cape. *"Z-Zack! What did you do to my costume?"*
Zack shrugged, totally unbothered. *"Oh, nothing. Just made it *extra* heroic. You've got a whole 'teddy bear' vibe going on. Villains won't know whether to run away or cuddle with you."*
Midoriya sighed, mortified. *"I can't move in this! It's like I'm wearing a *sleeping bag*!"*
Zack just chuckled, tossing the empty soda can over his shoulder. *"It's cute, though! I think it's your new *look*. You might want to take it to the next hero expo. They love weird costumes."*

Chapter 4: Todoroki's Ice and Fire Mix-Up**
Todoroki was standing tall, ready for his training exercise. He had perfected the art of balancing his ice and fire powers, and he was ready to show everyone his progress.
*"Let's do this,"* Todoroki muttered to himself, raising his right hand and preparing to unleash his ice powers.
But as soon as he did, a massive surge of flames erupted from his left side. He flinched, confused. *"Huh?"*
He quickly switched to his ice side, but once again, flames shot out of his left side.
*"What the—?!"*
From behind a tree, Zack casually appeared, watching with an amused grin. *"Looks like your fire and ice swapped places, Todoroki. Talk about *heated* and *chilled*... literally."*
Todoroki turned and glared at him. *"Zack, stop messing with me."*
Zack stretched, looking unbothered. *"Hey, I didn't do anything. I just mixed things up a little. It's like... fire and ice... on opposite days. Maybe you should try a *combination move*?"*
Todoroki clenched his teeth, feeling the heat rising from his left side as he tried to get his ice powers to work. *"I don't think that's what happened here, and I'm really going to—"*
But before he could finish, another burst of flames shot out of his left hand, sending him flying backward.
Zack was laughing. *"See? You're *literally* on fire! You're like a walking *bonfire*! I bet the villains are terrified."*

Chapter 5: Uraraka's Floating Fiasco
Uraraka was having the time of her life. She floated around the training field, giggling and spinning as she felt the weightlessness in her body.
*"This is so fun! I could do this all day!"* Uraraka cheered, kicking her feet in the air.
But when she tried to come back down to the ground, nothing happened. She floated higher and higher.
*"Wait... Why can't I land?"* Uraraka gasped, spinning in mid-air, her hands reaching for anything to grab onto.
Just then, Zack appeared out of nowhere, standing beneath her with a mischievous grin. *"Having fun up there, Ochaco? Looks like gravity's taking a day off!"*
Uraraka turned, her eyes wide. *"ZACK! What did you do?!?"*
Zack casually waved his hand. *"Oh, nothing. Just a little tweak here and there. I think you deserve a *free-floating* day. Who needs the ground anyway?"*
Uraraka sighed, trying and failing to land. *"This is *ridiculous*!"*
Zack just chuckled. *"Well, it's a good look. You should try it at the next villain encounter. I'm sure they'll be *terrified* to fight a floating hero."*

*"Alright, this is it! Time to show everyone how much I've improved!"* Midoriya grinned, adjusting the straps on his costume.
But as he turned around to inspect himself from all angles, he froze. His jaw dropped.
*"Wha... What happened to my costume?!?"*
Midoriya stared at himself in horror. Instead of his usual sleek, functional hero outfit, he was wearing a massive, fluffy version of himself. The suit was completely oversized. His gloves were so big they were practically drowning his hands, and his boots were like something out of a cartoon. His cape—oh, the cape—was bigger than his entire body and trailed behind him like a carpet.
*"This... this is not what I picked!"* Midoriya gasped, looking at the suit in disbelief.
As he stood there, paralyzed with shock, Zack appeared from behind a nearby pillar, holding a soda can and grinning mischievously.
*"What's up, Deku? I think you're looking a little too... *soft* for a hero! A little *fluff* never hurt anyone, right?"*
Midoriya stammered, trying to adjust the oversized cape. *"Z-Zack! What did you do to my costume?"*
Zack shrugged, totally unbothered. *"Oh, nothing. Just made it *extra* heroic. You've got a whole 'teddy bear' vibe going on. Villains won't know whether to run away or cuddle with you."*
Midoriya sighed, mortified. *"I can't move in this! It's like I'm wearing a *sleeping bag*!"*
Zack just chuckled, tossing the empty soda can over his shoulder. *"It's cute, though! I think it's your new *look*. You might want to take it to the next hero expo. They love weird costumes."*

Chapter 4: Todoroki's Ice and Fire Mix-Up**
Todoroki was standing tall, ready for his training exercise. He had perfected the art of balancing his ice and fire powers, and he was ready to show everyone his progress.
*"Let's do this,"* Todoroki muttered to himself, raising his right hand and preparing to unleash his ice powers.
But as soon as he did, a massive surge of flames erupted from his left side. He flinched, confused. *"Huh?"*
He quickly switched to his ice side, but once again, flames shot out of his left side.
*"What the—?!"*
From behind a tree, Zack casually appeared, watching with an amused grin. *"Looks like your fire and ice swapped places, Todoroki. Talk about *heated* and *chilled*... literally."*
Todoroki turned and glared at him. *"Zack, stop messing with me."*
Zack stretched, looking unbothered. *"Hey, I didn't do anything. I just mixed things up a little. It's like... fire and ice... on opposite days. Maybe you should try a *combination move*?"*
Todoroki clenched his teeth, feeling the heat rising from his left side as he tried to get his ice powers to work. *"I don't think that's what happened here, and I'm really going to—"*
But before he could finish, another burst of flames shot out of his left hand, sending him flying backward.
Zack was laughing. *"See? You're *literally* on fire! You're like a walking *bonfire*! I bet the villains are terrified."*

Chapter 5: Uraraka's Floating Fiasco
Uraraka was having the time of her life. She floated around the training field, giggling and spinning as she felt the weightlessness in her body.
*"This is so fun! I could do this all day!"* Uraraka cheered, kicking her feet in the air.
But when she tried to come back down to the ground, nothing happened. She floated higher and higher.
*"Wait... Why can't I land?"* Uraraka gasped, spinning in mid-air, her hands reaching for anything to grab onto.
Just then, Zack appeared out of nowhere, standing beneath her with a mischievous grin. *"Having fun up there, Ochaco? Looks like gravity's taking a day off!"*
Uraraka turned, her eyes wide. *"ZACK! What did you do?!?"*
Zack casually waved his hand. *"Oh, nothing. Just a little tweak here and there. I think you deserve a *free-floating* day. Who needs the ground anyway?"*
Uraraka sighed, trying and failing to land. *"This is *ridiculous*!"*
Zack just chuckled. *"Well, it's a good look. You should try it at the next villain encounter. I'm sure they'll be *terrified* to fight a floating hero."*
