"Hmm.... your body is extremely healthy."
"Right?"
While Bakugo and Mitsuki weren't sure why the hospital that was affiliated with Yuuei suddenly came to them, they decided to enter together to accompany Isao, who had been hurt previously.
Still hearing the grandma doctor's words, they sighed in relief.
Nevertheless, Bakugo felt weird when he learned that Isao was his new neighbor, and he also understood why Isao and his mother were together. As Isao was new in the neighborhood, his mother decided to help him by introducing him to various stores for daily necessities. Only when they happened to be together did they find him, who was caught by the villain.
While Bakugo was embarrassed, he was glad to meet them since if he didn't, then how long would it take for him to be saved? The feeling of being devoured by the villain was something pleasant, and he didn't want to feel something similar again.
Yet, whether it was Bakugo or Mitsuki, they wondered how Isao could turn himself into such a fierce appearance that he could fight a villain singlehandedly.
Only the Recovery Lady, the legendary doctor whose Quirk allowed her to increase the speed of healing of many, admitted that Isao's regeneration ability was just too cheating.
[You have acquired Chiyo Shuzenji's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
However, Isao felt weird, wondering whether he had changed the plot somehow.
On the other hand, in another room, a skeleton-like figure stood together with a mouse-like creature with the faces of a combination of a dog and a bear.
The two stood next to each other as they watched the screen that connected to the situation inside Isao's room. While they were wrong, they couldn't help but do this since they didn't know Isao well, and they were afraid to make him afraid or nervous.
"Is he the one?"
The mouse-like creature asked curiously after he stared at Isao for a while. While this might be rude, he knew that in terms of appearance, Isao was above many, including All Might.
As long as Isao made his debut as a hero, his face alone would attract many fans.
Yet, he knew that the person beside him wouldn't choose someone as an inheritor based on shallow reasons such as appearance, right?
"Yes."
The skeleton-like figure nodded firmly. "When everyone was at a loss for what to do and just rooted in their places, he made a move to save someone. Even if he wasn't a hero, he was the one who made the move. That decision alone... is enough to make him into my inheritor."
"Well, you are right."
The two agreed since Isao's figure bravely saved Bakugo and defeated the villain with ultimate power, reminding them of the past.
Yes, All Might's past when he was known as the invincible.
They could see All Might's figure on Isao, or rather, they could feel that Isao could be better.
More importantly, after learning about Isao's Quirk, they had to admit that he was the most suitable inheritor of All Might.
Regeneration.
This might seem like a normal and simple Quirk, yet when they thought about what Isao could do with this Quirk and the speed of his recovery after using that technique, they couldn't help but feel that he was the one.
Unlike All Might, who was hurt and couldn't recover, if something similar happened, they could imagine that Isao would be well.
Yet, at the same time, they also hesitated since was it okay for them to entrust this heavy responsibility to such a young man?
Nevertheless, they did a background check on Isao, showing how clear his situation was and how he was even an orphan. This situation of his while it might be rude to say this, it was even more suitable for him to become the inheritor of All Might since he didn't have to worry his family might be hurt by the villains.
"So what will you do?"
"I-I will approach him and invite him!"
"Can you do so?"
While All Might was the number one hero, he had only spent all of his life as a hero, and his experience on other things was zero.
Could he even invite a young man into his inheritor?
"By the way, do you have tips, Principal Nezu?"
Nezu, the mouse-like creature with a combination of a dog and a bear, thought for a while and said, "Be sincere."
"Sincere..." All Might murmured as he looked at his inheritor.
Nevertheless, they forgot one problem, and this was one of the biggest problems they had to face before they could make Isao into All Might's inheritor.
Still, Chiyo Shuzenji, or Recovery Lady, the legendary grandma doctor, looked at Isao complicatedly and said, "But make sure not to use that technique again, okay?"
While Isao didn't say anything about what kind of technique he was using to save Bakugo, Chiyo, who was a doctor, could tell what kind of effect Isao would bring when Isao kept using that technique.
Those words made Mitsuki and Bakugo look at Chiyo in doubt and worry, wondering whether there was a hidden danger in Isao's body.
"It's fine. I don't aim to become a hero after all."
"Oh?" Chiyo was surprised and then looked at him curiously. "What is your dream then?"
"Doctor."
"Doctor..." Chiyo murmured as she stared at Isao, then said, "Be my student later."
"........"
Isao fell in silence, feeling complex, wondering whether he had seduced Chiyo, but while he didn't mind an older woman, there was a limit, okay?
Nevertheless, when everything was okay, Isao went back together with Mitsuki and Bakugo.
As they were quite late, Mitsuki also called her husband, telling him to pick them up and told him what was happening.
Hearing about the accident that happened to his son, Bakugo's father, Masaru Bakugo, thanked Isao repeatedly. "Thank you. Thank you."
"It's fine. He is my classmate, after all. You don't have to worry, Uncle."
Nevertheless, Isao felt conflicted when he saw Mitsuki's husband, but he tried to appear as calm as possible.
Still, when they were inside the car, they decided to invite Isao to dinner together, celebrating his move and also a sign of thanks for what he did to Bakugo.
Naturally, Isao also accepted the offer, as he was too lazy to cook, and joined the dinner of the Bakugo family at their house.
"By the way, how is your family, Iinuma-kun?"
"Oh, I don't have parents. I live alone."
"......." 3x
Masaru somehow had tears in his eyes, then patted Isao's shoulder. "Just come to our house whenever you want. You can think of us as a family."
Somehow, Isao felt guilty when Masaru said those words to him. Masaru was so kind to him, yet earlier, he went out with his wife, and his wife even clung to his arm.
"Yeah, just come whenever you want." Mitsuki also nodded, telling Isao that it was okay for him to come anytime.
Bakugo didn't say anything, which showed that he didn't reject Isao in his house.
Still, with Isao's appearance, the dinner was festive, and they talked about many things, including how he lived as he was alone, and to answer that, he said, "Trading."
"Trading?" 3x
They felt speechless, but Isao told the truth since he was going into stock and other trading as they were the fastest way to make money.
Frankly, instead of trade, Isao loved to have a real industry more as it was stable and didn't need to be managed that much, but in this modern world, trading was more convenient.
More importantly, Isao had the DNA of Yuriko, one of his women in the world of "High School of the Dead." She might be a normal woman, but she was also a genius investor who could increase her family's net worth hundreds of times after she married her husband.
Either way, Isao knew what to do to get more money, and even if he lost his money, he could "kindly" ask someone by using his second ability, which allowed him to control those whose DNA he had replicated.
While the dinner was fun, Isao didn't intend to stay for a long time.
"Are you going back?"
"Yes." Isao nodded. "I still have to unpack many things."
"Then, let us help you."
"No, no. You have been busy with work, and many things have happened previously. Frankly, I plan to rest early, too."
"If that's the case, I will help you tomorrow." Mitsuki suddenly said.
"But..."
"Not but!" Mitsuki stopped Isao and said, "You have helped our family, after all."
"....."
Watching Mitsuki's gentle expression, Isao tried to hold the urge inside his heart. "...is that fine?"
"Yes." 2x
Masaru and Mitsuki nodded at the same time.
"Then, thank you very much."
"Katsuki, you must help too!" Mitsuki then looked at her son fiercely.
"...I know." Even if Bakugo had a bad temper, he owed it to Isao, and he wasn't so shameless to pretend that nothing had happened.
Still, Isao stayed for a while before he decided to excuse himself.
"Ah, are you going back so soon?"
"Yes."
"Is that so? Katsuki, send him off."
While Mitsuki wanted Isao to stay, especially when she knew Isao was living alone and he was just hurt, she couldn't change his thoughts, so she could only give up helplessly, but in her mind, she had made up her mind to take care of him.
"Okay."
"Thanks."
"...no, it's okay."
Bakugo felt weird being thanked like this, but nevertheless, he sent Isao off while asking about his condition with an embarrassed expression. "...is your body okay?"
"Yeah, I feel better now." Isao glanced at Bakugo and said, "If you want to ask, go ahead."
"Well... what did you do? Wasn't your Quirk a regeneration? How did... how did you gain so much power like before?" This had been on Bakugo's mind from the beginning. He knew that his questions were rude, so he held it, but when Isao gave him permission, he couldn't help but ask.
"But... if it's a secret... then you don't have to tell me..."
"It isn't a secret, and even if I tell you, you can't do it." Isao watched Bakugo's expression, which started to change. "I am telling you the truth. I can do this technique because my Quirk is regeneration, but if you are the one who does it, then you will be crippled."
"Crippled..." Bakugo's expression was stunned. "What... what did you do?"
"I open the limit on my body."
"L-Limit?"
"You should know that a human can only use a fraction of their power to protect their bodies, right? I just opened that limiter and gained strength so I can save you." Isao sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't want to use this power since it is powerful."
"Then, why? If that technique is powerful and can make you crippled, then why did you do that?!" Bakugo felt that if that was the price for Isao's strength, then he should just endure everything until a suitable hero came.
"You asked for help, after all. Isn't that enough?" Isao smiled softly and said, "Then, I will go back first. Go and take a rest."
"Iinuma!"
When Isao was about to leave, Bakugo stopped him. "I-I will definitely become a hero! And... I won't let something similar happen!"
Watching Bakugo's reddened eyes, Isao felt even more guilty since he had been thinking of seducing Bakugo's mother before. Still, this guy's temper might be bad, but Bakugo wasn't a bad guy.
"I am depending on you to protect me."
"Leave that to me!"
Bakugo made up his mind that something similar definitely couldn't happen, and he would become the best hero who could protect everyone.
"Then, see you tomorrow."
"...um, see you tomorrow."
As Isao left, Bakugo watched his back for a while, hesitating, but kept watching him until Isao entered his house before he returned and was asked by his parents, which made him helpless.
Only after Isao entered his house did he look outside and say, "Come out. I know that you have been following me."
As expected, soon, someone came into his vision, and this person also appeared embarrassed.
Yet, watching this muscular monster with a height of more than two meters, Isao felt weird, especially when this figure had a shy expression on his face.
"...All Might?"
"Y-Yes...! I-I am All Might."
"...." Isao's gaze became even stranger as he asked, "Do you need something for me? Is there a villain nearby?"
"N-No, there is no villain nearby! Everything is safe, but I want to talk with you, Iinuma-kun."
"How did you know my name?" Isao asked with confusion.
"I am sorry, but I asked my friend to do a bit of investigation on you."
"...why did you want to investigate me?"
"Because..." All Might took a deep breath, then said solemnly, "I want you to become my inheritor."
"......." Isao.
Where did you go, Izuku?!
