章節 280: Can he become one?
"..."
Toshinori fell in silence and was dumbfounded as he hadn't expected this answer from Isao. He thought that Isao would agree immediately to become his inheritor, yet unexpectedly, Isao decided to reject him.
"W-Why? May I ask the reason?"
Isao looked at Toshinori and didn't answer his question with a half-hearted answer since he could tell that Toshinori had a sincere and pure intention. To answer Toshinori, who had shown his secret to him, he also answered Toshinori seriously. "I don't have the power to become that symbol of peace."
"..." Toshinori.
"Since you have investigated me, you should know my Quirk is a regeneration. I don't have the necessary power to become the symbol of peace.
"Or rather, do you think with such a Quirk, I can even become a hero?"
Toshinori fell into silence and also understood Isao's worry. At the same time, he also couldn't help but compare Isao with the green-haired boy, who asked him whether he could become a hero even if he was Quirkless.
Isao was mature, and that boy was childish.
Isao was realistic, and he also knew that to become a symbol of peace, an overwhelming power was necessary, but he didn't have it, so he had to refuse him.
'As expected, he is the one,' Toshinori thought.
"But more importantly, I don't have the courage."
"But you do! You saved your classmate!"
"I don't." Isao shook his head and said, "To become a symbol of peace means to have the courage to give my entire life to protect everyone. I know myself well, All Might. I am a selfish person, and unless I am sure that I can save that person, I will prioritize my safety, so I don't think that I will be suitable to become your inheritor."
"No, you will." Toshinori shook his head and said, "You might not have realized it, but you have the qualities to become a hero. You have that courage, but you just don't realize it, and I can imagine that you will save the others instead of yourselves, especially with your Quirk."
Regeneration.
It might be a simple ability, but it increased Isao's survival.
With such a Quirk, Toshinori could imagine that Isao would save someone without hesitation.
More importantly, even if Isao might not have confidence in himself, the actions that he showed during the previous accident showed that he was qualified to become the symbol of peace.
Isao smiled softly and said, "You overestimate me, All Might. To be honest, my dream is just to have a simple family and a peaceful life, so that's why I am glad that you are there to keep the peace for everyone, but... to become that symbol of peace and keep the peace in our society... I have never thought to become one.
"The power to defeat every villain, terror, and everything, a power is necessary.
"With my Quirk, do you think it is possible?"
Well, it was possible for Isao to become a symbol of peace with his power, but he had to say, it was quite troublesome, so he didn't really want to do it, especially after he got Toshinori's DNA, which made him learn Toshinori's experience as a hero.
When Isao thought about Toshinori's life, he hardly had any breaks and continued to work until so late or even without a rest. He had to say that unless one had an obsession like Midoriya, who thought that being a hero was everything, it was impossible.
Rather, any sane person would hesitate when asked whether they wanted to become a symbol of peace.
Being a hero was nice and all, but to sacrifice everything to become a hero?
Could one really do it?
Yet—
"It is."
"...it is?"
"When you become my inheritor, I will give you my power."
Watching his stunned expression, Toshinori smiled softly and said, "I know that you are hesitating, whether you are worthy or not, but once again, l have seen what you did before, and I know that you have the qualification to become a number one hero.
"You might doubt ourselves, but you can believe me since my eyes aren't wrong."
No, you are wrong!
Isao's lips twitched, thinking that Toshinori was such a naive man, but he sighed inwardly and only fell into silence without saying anything.
"But I know that you are in doubt, and I won't force you to become one, but if you have made your determination, please come to me.
"Or rather, how about we exchange our contact info?"
"....."
Watching Toshinori, who acted like a shy little girl, Isao felt speechless and wanted to reject him, but in the end, he sighed inwardly and nodded. "Okay."
While this guy was a bit weird, he had to say that having the symbol of peace as an acquaintance was a great thing.
As he got Isao's contact info, Toshinori smiled, then asked, "By the way, Iinuma-boy, what is your dream?"
'Boy...'
Well, Isao was in the third grade of middle school, so it couldn't be helped. "I want to become a doctor."
"Doctor..." Toshinori was surprised and then nodded, thinking that while it was different, this profession also existed to help others. 'As expected, he's the one.' If Isao's Quirk was suitable to become a hero, then he could tell that Isao would become a hero, but since Isao couldn't, then Isao was realistic, and he had to admit that Isao was suitable to become a doctor.
Still, Toshinori never gave up, thinking that Isao would become his inheritor, especially when he knew that Isao's concern was whether Isao could become the next symbol of peace or not.
Isao was just afraid to disappoint him, so Toshinori knew that he needed to reassure him that Isao was really the one.
Still, when Toshinori left Isao's house, he thought about the young man who knew about his secret. He hesitated for a while before he shook his head, thinking that it should be okay.
'Hopefully, nothing is happening.'
As a symbol of peace, Toshinori had to be strong no matter what, and he couldn't let anyone know his weakness, or society wouldn't be at peace anymore.
"Iinuma-boy...'
While Toshinori didn't wish to stop, he knew that his time was limited, so he knew that he had to make Isao agree.
However, how?
Nevertheless, as Isao was alone in his new house, he thought about his future in this world. In the beginning, he only thought of living as a side character, living normally and sometimes saving some women who were in distress, including Bakugo's mother.
Still, Toshinori's invitation made Isao slightly change his thoughts.
"Hero... a symbol of peace..."
While it was troublesome, Isao knew that if he wished to become a good person, this was a path that he had to take on. Yes, it might be troublesome, but when he thought about how society would be at peace due to him, all the troubles should be worth it.
However, Isao had to say that as an individualist and also an egoist, it was hard for him to live for the sake of others.
Doing charity was fine and all, but it was impossible for him to give his everything.
Yet, he wondered why; he couldn't help but think that he should take this chance.
As for Midoriya, Isao forgot about this guy.
Still, in the early morning, the bell on his house rang.
As Isao had a habit of working out in the morning, naturally, he woke up, but then he wondered who came to his house so early in the morning.
"Yes?"
When Isao checked the intercom of his house, he was surprised and quickly opened the door.
"Isao-kun, have you finished cleaning? Let me help you."
Mitsuki was there in front of his house.
As usual, she wore a white blouse underneath a lavender cardigan and a short black skirt, showing her shapely breasts and round hips.
While she might not be the most beautiful, Isao couldn't help but feel his throat was dry.
At the same time, he questioned himself: could someone like him, who wanted to sleep with the mother of his classmate, be a symbol of peace?
