"I Reincarnated in Boku no Hero but They Forgot to Give Me a System"

Chapter 24 – Foundations for the Future

An entire month had passed since All Might publicly endorsed the FaceHero app.

As Aoi had predicted, the impact was immediate and far-reaching. Downloads skyrocketed overnight, and within just a few weeks, the platform had become an essential resource across half the country. Hospitals, orphanages, and volunteer groups adopted the app. Users praised its intuitive design and noble purpose. Social media buzzed with stories of small miracles happening through FaceHero.

And with fame… came attention.

Several tech companies and corporate investors began searching for the mysterious creator behind the app. They wanted sponsorships, exclusive deals, future collaborations. Some even offered to buy FaceHero outright.

But Aoi turned them all down.

He had made a promise to All Might — a vow bound not by profit, but by purpose. And he kept it without hesitation. Every single coin raised during the first wave of donations was given to orphanages, hospitals, and support centers across Japan. He made no announcement, no press release. The app simply updated its mission page with a quiet note stating the donations had been fulfilled "as promised."

With that complete, Aoi moved on to the next phase of his plan.

It was time to build his own tech company.

A headquarters worthy of a future that could truly change the world.

That weekend, under a clear blue sky, Aoi stood with his family on a vast plot of land nestled in a growing commercial district on the outskirts of Musutafu. The area buzzed with the noise of construction. Large steel beams framed the initial skeleton of a building. Cranes swung overhead. Hard-hatted workers shouted instructions from one side to another.

At the edge of the site stood a large sign with a placeholder logo:

Todoroki Tech – Coming Soon

Aoi stood proudly in front of it, wearing a plain white hoodie and black sweatpants, hands tucked in his pockets.

Beside him stood his mother, Rei, and his older siblings, Fuyumi and Natsuo. None of them spoke at first. They were too busy taking in the magnitude of it all.

— "Wow…" Natsuo murmured, eyes wide as he looked up at the towering beams and the vast construction site.

Fuyumi turned to Aoi, still trying to process what they were witnessing.

— "You… really did all this?" she asked, stunned.

Aoi gave her a small, confident smile.

— "I said I would, didn't I? But now… I need your help."

He turned, facing his siblings with a calm but serious expression.

— "Fuyumi. Natsuo. When you're older, I want you both to help me run this company. I'm going to become a pro hero — that means I won't always be around to handle everything. I'll need people I trust. People I believe in. I want that to be you."

His voice wasn't dramatic, but it held weight — the kind that comes from conviction, not pressure.

Fuyumi blinked, surprised. No one had ever trusted her with something so important. All her life, she'd been the quiet one — supportive, present, but never essential.

Now her little brother — a prodigy on the verge of changing the world — was placing part of that future in her hands.

Her lips curled into a smile, and her eyes sparkled.

— "You can count on me, Aoi. I'll study whatever it takes. I'll make sure this company becomes something incredible."

Natsuo chuckled and crossed his arms, clearly impressed.

— "Well, if it's for the family… I'm in too. Just don't expect me to wear a suit every day."

They laughed softly together, but beneath the lightness, something firm had taken root. They weren't just making promises — they were laying the foundations of something lasting.

Rei watched from a short distance, silent emotion in her eyes. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and a gentle breeze played with the ends of her hair.

She looked at her children — so different, so hurt by the past — now standing together on the threshold of a future they were building as a team.

It warmed her heart in a way she hadn't felt in years.

— "Maybe… maybe this family still has a chance," she thought. "Even after everything… maybe there's still hope."

In the background, workers continued welding steel and moving concrete. But in that moment, the construction site felt like sacred ground.

Aoi took a slow step forward, eyes fixed on the sky.

The sunlight reflected in his eyes — one red, one blue — the living mark of his legacy, as soft flames flickered gently at his fingertips.

— "This is just the beginning," he whispered to himself.

He closed his fists slowly. Not from anger. Not from tension. But in preparation.

— "My strength will protect people. But this company… will care for those I can't reach with my fists."

He looked over his shoulder toward his family.

— "Todoroki Tech isn't just a business. It's our base. Our legacy. A place where innovation and heart walk side by side."

Rei quietly wiped away a tear.

Fuyumi smiled with newfound purpose.

Natsuo shrugged playfully but stood proudly by his brother's side.

And Aoi… Aoi stood tall, not just as the head of a company —

But as a leader of a new era.
