You are next!

"Check his body carefully!" 

"If he dies, then I will have your head tomorrow!" 

"He is healthy! We're sure of that!" 

"Then, why didn't he wake up!" 

After the battle against All For One, Isao lost consciousness, and naturally, everyone, especially the government, panicked. 

The next symbol of peace. 

When they saw his back at that time, they knew well that Toshinori had chosen Isao as the next one. 

Yet, if Isao couldn't wake up...

Only at this moment, while Isao knew everyone was in a panic, he didn't wake himself up to say that he was okay. Instead, he let himself sink into consciousness, meeting the previous holders of One For All. 

He might have replicated Toshinori's DNA previously, but this time, he got Toshinori's Quirk through an official method. 

While he didn't really want to and even wanted to kick all the people inside his head away, he could only sigh and decide to talk for a while. 

As he opened his eyes, he saw the torn and ruined room with seven people sitting before him, surrounding him as if trying to judge him. 

Yet Isao was calm, facing them. 

Meeting his eyes, they could tell that he was different from all of them. 

A natural-born hero, this was probably how they described him as they could feel how reliable, strong, and mature he was. 

Isao might be a middle school student, yet strangely enough, all of them felt like they could trust him. 

At the same time, while it was frustrating, they had to admit that this guy was so freaking handsome! 

Still, Isao had to say that there were many holders of One For All, but he had to say that one of them happened to be his type. 

Among all of them, one was a mature woman with a beautiful, gentle, yet strong feature. 

As he met her gaze, she also looked at him, feeling that he was a poor boy, and wanted to comfort him, yet at the same time, she felt his gaze was slightly strange. 

Isao took a deep breath and asked, "Are you all the previous holders of One For All?" He looked at the man in the middle when he asked this question. 

"Yes." The man nodded with a gentle expression. His hair might cover his eyes, but it was easy to tell that he had a good feature. "Sorry for bringing you here so suddenly. Unlike all of us, you have great talent." 

"....." 

While all of them were speechless, they nodded. 

"Thank you." Isao nodded and asked, "But this place is too gloomy. Do you mind if I change this place?" 

"Er... sure." 

Isao then didn't hesitate and manipulated this space within his mind, changing it into a traditional Japanese hall, and he even changed his clothes to yukata. 

Unlike Midoriya, Isao was the master of this ability, and he didn't need their permission to do anything. 

Or rather, he wished them to go out of his mind, especially when he often did many lewd things with his women. 

'Let's erase them after this,' he thought. 

'Ah, except for the mature woman,' he added. 

"....." Everyone. 

"...you are really amazing." The man sighed and said, "You even defeated my big brother." 

"Big brother?" Isao looked at the man strangely and asked, "You mean... that guy who attacked me before was your older brother?" 

"Yes," the man nodded. Before that, let me introduce myself. I am Yoichi Shigaraki. The first generation of One For All and All For One that you defeated before is my big brother." 

"...can you explain it from the beginning?" 

While Isao knew the story, he knew that they wanted him to listen to the origin of this power and what kind of responsibility he had to face after he gained this power. 

Only the man didn't do that. Instead, he asked him, "Isao-kun, can I call you that?" 

"Yes, can I call you Yoichi-san?" 

"Sure." Yoichi smiled softly and asked, "Do you want to become a hero?" 

Isao didn't dodge Yoichi's gaze and said, "Frankly, no." 

However, Yoichi didn't get angry and asked him again, "If you don't mind, what is your dream?" 

"My dream? It isn't much different from others. I dream of having a stable and good job, a family, and children, but I know that I can't do that now and will do my best to become the next symbol of peace." 

All of them had seen the process of Isao becoming their new inheritor and knew how brutal it was. At the same time, all of them also felt intense guilt as they had involved him. 

Yes, there was no doubt he was a perfect inheritor, but was he even willing to become a hero to begin with? 

His dream was simple, yet such a dream was unattainable the moment he became their inheritor. 

However—

"No, you are free to do whatever you want," Yoichi said. 

Isao looked at Yoichi strangely and felt strange about Yoichi's answer. 

"You don't need to look at me like that." Yoichi smiled and said, "You have defeated All For One, after all. This Quirk is born to defeat All For One, and as you have defeated him, then our goal is completed." 

Or rather, no one thought that All For One could even defeat Isao. 

In this world, the moment Isao got One For All, he became omnipotent. He was free to do whatever he wished except do a villainous activity, of course. 

"Then, we're done?" 

"Yup, done." 

"Is that all?" 

Only, at this moment, all of them felt uneasy, wondering how to say what they wanted to tell him after this. 

"It's fine. Please tell me." Isao appeared firm and calm, watching all of them. 

Yoichi took a deep breath, but the only female among One For All said, "Let me say it." 

"Okay..." 

"Nice to meet you, Isao-kun. I can call you that, right?" 

"Sure." Isao nodded. "So, what should I call you?" 

The woman smiled softly and warmly and said, "My name is Nana Shimura. You can call me Auntie." 

"Really? I thought I should call you Big Sister." 

Nana chuckled and said, "You must be popular with women." 

"No, no. I am not." Isao lied without blinking. 

"You are lying." Nana rolled her eyes since it was impossible for Isao not to be popular with women. 

"So, what do you want to tell me, Nana-san?" 

Nana didn't mind being called this way by Isao, but when she thought about what she would say next, she hesitated before she hardened her heart. "I know that it might shock you, but listen to me carefully." She took a deep breath and said, "Usually, one body can only accommodate one Quirk, and more than that, our body can't handle it. It is like a glass. When the water is filled to the brim, the water will either overflow or, even worse, crack the glass." 

If Isao was Quirkless, then it wouldn't be a problem, but Isao had a Quirk, so they knew the problem that was encountered by the fourth generation would be encountered by Isao in the future. 

"You mean I will die young?" 

"....." Everyone. 

Nana lost her voice, but she nodded after a moment of hesitation. "Yes." 

"I see..." Isao nodded calmly, easily accepting everything. 

"You are so calm about this..." The bald man with punk-like clothing couldn't help but ask. 

"If I don't get this power, I will die that night, so I guess it isn't bad to be able to live for a while." 

"Isao-kun, we..." 

"It's fine. I am not a child that will whine about my problems. I have accepted this. This is the price of power. You don't have to comfort me." 

Hearing such mature-like answers from children made all of them feel at a loss. 

"By the way, can I ask you a question?" Isao asked. 

"Sure, go ahead. What's wrong, kid?" The bald man asked. 

"You won't peek at what I do in reality, right?" 

"...." Everyone. 

"Is that what you are worried about?!" 7x

All of them couldn't help but berate him since there was a bigger problem that he would face than this, right?!

"I have a girlfriend," Isao said calmly. 

"OH!" 7x

All of them were surprised and became curious. 

"Who is it?" 

"Your classmate?" 

"Is she cute?" 

Anyway, none of them except for Nana have children, so when they saw Isao, they couldn't have but thought of him as their child. 

Meanwhile, while Nana had children, she gave up her children since she didn't have the confidence to protect them, so she couldn't help but give the love that she felt for her son to Isao. 

"It's a secret."

It was impossible for Isao to tell that his girlfriend was the mother of his classmate, after all. 

"But we might do something naughty in the future, so I hope that you don't do something funny." 

"..." 7x

Hearing such a straightforward answer, they were speechless, but they also understood Isao's worry. Still, many couldn't help but blush at his words. Yet, when they thought about his limited life, they didn't think too much since, as long as the two of them were willing, it was all fine since love was a good thing. 

"It's fine." Yoichi nodded and said, "Frankly, as you have defeated All For One, our existence is also meaningless, and strangely enough, even without our help, I feel like you can master all of our Quirks with ease." 

"Yeah, I can do that." Isao nodded confidently. 

"..." 7x

"You really are..." 

They weren't sure how to describe this young man, but no matter what, they could tell that they could trust him.

This trust might seem strange, but as they could see what Toshinori saw, they also understood why Toshinori decided to make Isao the inheritor. 

The path that Isao took might be different from theirs, but they knew this path would lead to something great. While they wanted to see it, they knew that it was rude, and frankly, they also understood they had passed away, and they couldn't linger in this world any longer, bothering the next generation. 

Then, what if Isao did something bad? 

Well, there was Toshinori anyway, and they were sure that he would educate Isao surely. 

Right? 

"Still, I don't mind listening to your explanation of your abilities. Or rather, how about we just train here?" 

Hearing his words, all of them nodded. 

So, at that moment, his training in mastering all the quirks that existed within One For All began, and as expected, he finished his training soon. 

"There is nothing we can teach you anymore." 

"Yeah, you are a monster! How can you be so smart?!" 

"...I wonder who even the original holder is..." 

Nevertheless, One For All ended within Isao's generation since the next generation is surely unable to hold power from this Quirk, and in the worst case, their body would explode if they became the next inheritor. 

So, whether it was One For All or One For All, it ended in Isao's generation, and because of that, they let him do whatever he wished for. 

Yet, even so, evil would always grow, and it was impossible to erase it completely. 

By then, Isao needed to fight. 

No, he needed to inspire others to fight since his symbol of peace was different from all of them. 

Nevertheless, while their meetings might be short, all of them were glad that they met each other, and frankly, under Isao's control, they visited many places and enjoyed various trips as they trained him, which made them reluctant to leave, yet they knew that they had to leave. 

"Thank you." 

Isao said sincerely and was glad to meet all of them. 

"Haha... I hope you well, Isao-kun!" 

"Be happy! Don't have any regrets!" 

"As long as you don't commit a crime, you can do anything." 

Either hugging or shaking their hands, all of them did one by one with Isao before they vanished into the afterlife. 

Only when it came to Nana appeared hesitant. "Um, Isao-kun." 

"What's wrong, Nana-san?" 

"Can I—" 

---

A week had passed, and he hadn't woken up his consciousness. 

Toshinori, who had woken up, kept praying and hoping that Isao could wake up. 

Mitsuki was even more so, yet when she held her belly, she knew that she had to be strong. 

Only on that day, when Mitsuki tried to wipe his body as usual, Isao opened his eyes. 

"...what are you doing?" 

Watching Mitsuki, who was about to wipe his cock, Isao felt at a loss. 

Yet, the moment he woke up, everyone was filled with happiness.
