Chapter 287: Isao wishes to be quiet
One For All.
Frankly, Isao might have underestimated this power, yet when he thought this was the power of the original protagonist of this world, it meant it was also the strongest.
Rather, compared to the deities in the world of "Danmachi," Isao could feel that his power was greater.
If a deity in the world of "Danmachi" could destroy a city or two, then Isao felt like he could destroy a country if he wished to.
At that time, when he fought against All For One, even if he could strengthen himself further with "Ittou Shura" or "Ittou Rasetsu," he didn't do it since he knew once he dared to do it, he might sink Odaiba.
No, even worse, he might even sink the entire Japan into the Pacific Ocean!
This might seem like a joke, but he was afraid of his own power now.
Yet, at the same time, he was glad that he had come to this world; in just a few chapters, his growth became frightening.
'Now, what's left?'
Frankly, he wasn't sure, but if possible, he wanted to be so strong that he could control the universe.
Rather, he wanted to be like a god of creator, who created various worlds.
When he thought about this, he realized that even if he gained the power of All For One, it was still far from enough.
"I see..."
Still, Isao didn't tell about what he was thinking and told Toshinori why he had only woken up after a week.
"You really made me worried..."
When Toshinori thought that Isao couldn't wake up anymore, he felt a sense of powerlessness. All For One might be defeated, yet if he lost Isao, what would the meaning be?
Yet, this probably also showed Isao's determination.
To become a symbol of peace, Isao was ready to give his everything.
However, at this moment, there was no need for this boy to do that anymore as All For One was defeated.
Yes, probably, many villains and others might wake up, trying to become the new All For One, but in Toshinori's eyes, all of them were small fries.
The power of One For All was so strong that Isao was as good as invincible in this world.
Frankly, if Isao decided to become a villain, no one could stop him!
Fortunately, Isao was a good boy.
Yet, inwardly, while Toshinori felt surprised that Isao could meet the predecessors of One For All, he also wanted to complain to those predecessors who forcefully brought Isao into consciousness and made him not wake up for a week.
"...so you meet everyone?"
"Yes." Isao nodded.
"Including my predecessor?"
"You mean Nana-san?"
"Yes!" Toshinori was surprised and asked excitedly, "Did you meet her?"
"I met her." Isao nodded. "She was so strict when she trained me inside my mind, Yagi-san."
"Yeah, she was..." Toshinori smiled and couldn't help but feel nostalgia, thinking about the past. Still, this also made him closer to Isao as Isao understood his past, too. "Did she.. did she tell you about me?"
"Well, she told me how you—"
"Ah, stop! Stop! Don't say that!"
Like a flustered girl, Toshinori tried to stop Isao from talking about his dark history.
Still—
"Cough! Cough!"
Toshinori coughed up blood, feeling his entire body almost fall due of the sudden excitement on his body. While he could still use the power of One For All, his body was still injured from the previous fight against All For One, and everything inside his guts had spilled out from his previous fight against that bastard.
Yet, it was all fine since he knew that this nightmare had ended.
Isao had defeated this symbol of terror and brought peace into society.
"Are you okay, Yagi-san?"
"Ah, yes, you don't have to worry."
Toshinori smiled softly, telling Isao that he was fine, even though he wasn't. Like Isao, who could let himself be killed to make him focus on the fight, he also didn't want to make Isao to be cornered about his situation.
Nevertheless, he knew that he couldn't do a hero activity anymore, but it didn't matter since, from now on, he was going to focus on training Isao to become the next symbol of peace.
"Yagi-san, let me heal you."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Toshinori was confused, but Isao didn't say much except for holding his wrist.
While he was confused, he didn't do anything until he was dumbfounded when his face pale face started to become healthier, and he also felt something that was missing in his body also recovered.
"This...?!"
Toshinori quickly lifted his t-shirt and was dumbfounded when he saw the heavy injury on his guts, and the innards were all healed and recovered as if nothing had happened.
"H-How...?!"
It was amazing!
Isao could heal him so easily.
Still, when Toshinori saw Isao's pale face and fell into the bed weakly, he quickly came to him worriedly. "Isao-boy!"
"I am fine. I am just a little tired." Isao pretended to be exhausted and said, "You know that One For All can strengthen the Quirk, right? You know my Quirk is regeneration, and now, I am strong enough to regenerate others, but then again, I might not be able to wake up for a while."
"Isao-boy..."
Toshinori couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, feeling that he really had chosen the right person as an inheritor. While he wanted to hug Isao, he didn't want to hurt him, so he just held his hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you... thank you... thank you..."
For Toshinori, being a hero was his everything.
Toshinori had given his everything, all of his life, for this activity, and naturally, losing his chance of being a hero meant that he would lose meaning in his life.
However, it is different now.
Yes, the power of One For All might have been given to Isao, but it didn't mean Toshinori couldn't use that power. More importantly, as his body had become healthier, while he couldn't use this power forever, it was far better than his previous three hours of hero activity daily.
Still, he knew that Isao must have paid a certain price for it, so he definitely wouldn't tell anyone about Isao's ability to heal others so perfectly like this.
Yet, frankly, Isao just wished for Toshinori to leave him alone and could go out to save others. Being taught by Toshinori was nice, but it would have been a different matter if this guy had spent 24 hours with him.
Knowing Toshinori, as he lost his power, he would be at a loss and then would focus all of his attention on Isao.
More importantly, Isao didn't really want to become a symbol of peace so soon.
The public needed a hero who could bring them peace of mind, and Toshinori was the best person for that.
Or rather, with the two together, were there even any villains that could stop them?
"By the way, Yagi-san, can you tell me what happened after that?"
"Oh, that's right."
As Isao asked this question, Toshinori slowly narrated what was happening.
All For One was caught; it was natural, but even for such a criminal, it was hard for him to receive the death penalty since the rules of this country were like this.
Well, Isao didn't care much about All For One, but then he was surprised to hear that Nomu and Kurogiri weren't caught, yet he remained in silence until he heard that the government decided to hide his identity.
"So, no one knows that I am your inheritor?"
"Yes." Toshinori nodded. "On the live broadcast, what they can see is your back, and we have been careful about your identity since you were still young."
Yes, Isao might be reliable, but it didn't change the fact that he was still in his third year of middle school.
At least, in everyone's opinion, Isao should have started his career when he entered the Yuuei Hero Department when he was in high school.
Isao also didn't mind since it was good to be able to relax.
Still, as Toshinori gained his power once again, he decided to go out, especially when Isao needed to rest.
When Toshinori left, Isao sighed in relief; then, his body was all tensed when he saw Mitsuki suddenly come into his room.
"Mitsuki-san..."
Mitsuki looked at him with tears, then came to him and hugged him tightly. "Don't leave me again, okay?"
Isao patted her back softly and nodded. "I won't."
Only, as it had been a week, he was holding back and pent up.
If Toshinori wasn't outside of the room, then Mitsuki would comfort him.
Unfortunately, but at the same time, fortunately, Toshinori had left.
His hardened rod was impossible to hide, causing Mitsuki to blush; then, he said softly, "I will comfort you. Just relax." As she said so, her naughty hand slipped into his pants, comforting him with care.
"Mitsuki-san..."
As Isao was comforted by Mitsuki, he forgot about one character who stayed with him within his consciousness.
