Chapter 279: Isao is the symbol of peace

"Are you fine with tea?"

"Ah, yes, thank you very much!"

All Might nervously nodded as he accepted Isao's offer. Still, as he entered Isao's house, he couldn't help but look around curiously. Frankly, he had to say Isao was amazing since, at a young age, Isao was capable of buying a property in this area.

If Isao had parents, then All Might wouldn't be surprised, but Isao was alone, an orphan, so he couldn't help but cry a little, thinking about what kind of hard work Isao had to endure during his young age.

At this moment, his thoughts became even stronger, and he knew that Isao was the most suitable inheritor for him.

While it was weird, at this moment, All Might's thoughts were like those of fans who idolized their superstars. In his mind, Isao was the perfect inheritor without any flaws, and he was put on a pedestal.

Yet, Isao didn't know that, and he felt weird that All Might chose him as an inheritor as he prepared tea for the two.

Still, when he thought that Midoriya didn't do anything during Bakugo's accident, he also understood the reason, yet he felt weird. He might try to become a good guy, but somehow, he felt that he wasn't ready to accept all the responsibilities to become the next symbol of peace.

More importantly—

[You have acquired Toshinari Yagi's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

[You have acquired Nezu's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

During his time in the hospital, Isao didn't forget to collect all the DNA of the people inside since every individual in this world has a unique power. While some of them were simply useless and didn't increase his power much, if he used them well, they would be useful in a certain situation.

Still, his luck always worked strangely, and in that hospital, not only did he get the DNA of the best doctor in this country, Recovery Lady, but he also got the DNA of the principal of Yuuei High School, Nezu, and the symbol of peace, All Might.

While Isao wouldn't be able to use all of those abilities in this world, it was all fine since his purpose in this world was just to get stronger, so it would help his fights in another world.

The only one left was probably the DNA of the famous villains and also the strongest hero in various countries.

The strength of the people in this world might not be that special, but their abilities were quite unique, so he knew that entering this world was worth it, even if he was a bit disappointed by the level of technology in this world.

"Here you go."

"T-Thank you..." All Might or Toshinori Yagi accepted the warm tea from Isao. The scent was nice, or rather, the smell of Isao's house was so gentle that it made him relaxed, making his worn-out and exhausted body feel nice. 'Let's taste it first.'

While Toshinori wanted to talk about the inheritor matter, the tea that was prepared by Isao tickled his desire to drink, so he sipped it slowly, feeling his wounded body recovered. It was like his body was similar to a dry plant that was about to die but suddenly received a nutrient and water that made him alive.

"Th-This is a good tea..."

Suddenly, Isao had a headache and felt strange emotions.

While he tried to become a good guy and even said he was a good guy, many said he was a bad guy, and inwardly, he didn't think that he was a good guy either, so it was weird of him to see someone who thought of him as a good guy.

Was his hard work acknowledged?

Yet, previously, he had just saved his classmate's charming mother so she wouldn't be hurt instead of saving Bakugo.

With such an impure thought on his mind, could Isao even become the symbol of peace?

Frankly, Isao was afraid that if he really became a symbol of peace, he would cause all the men to lose their girlfriends and wives due to him.

Still watching Isao, who fell into silence and seemingly became confused, Toshinori couldn't help but apologize. "I-I am sorry. I know that my words might have made you, but at that time, when I saw you move and save your classmate despite your limitations, I couldn't help but think that you would be suitable to become my inheritor.

"I know that you might be overwhelmed, and I won't ask your answer immediately, but please think about it."

"...yes, to be honest, I am so confused at this moment. Many things happened today, and I just transferred to this area, but then I saw my classmate being attacked by a villain, saved him, and then you suddenly came to my place, asking me to become your inheritor."

Isao rubbed his forehead and said, "...I'm really not sure what to do."

Could he, a man who couldn't stop his hand from seducing the wife of others, become the symbol of peace?

While Isao really planned to enter Yuuei, he never thought of becoming a hero in this world as he was thinking of being a low-key character that slowly strengthened himself, yet it seemed that with how fate worked around him, he knew that it was impossible.

"I am sorry."

Even Toshinori had to admit that his wish was too much, especially for Isao, who was just in the third year of middle school, yet he didn't have much time, and he really thought Isao was the most suitable candidate for his inheritor.

"However, you have trusted me so much, and you even showed me your secret. At the same time, I also know that you helped me escape from the reporters and heroes during that time." Isao looked at Toshinori and said, "Thank you."

"...how did you?"

While Toshinori smiled at Isao's actions, he couldn't help but be surprised how Isao could tell that he had helped him from behind.

"Well, I am just guessing, and it seems I am correct."

"...you have deceived me." Yet, Toshinori showed a soft smile, thinking that it was good that Isao was smart.

"However..."

Isao bowed his head and said, "I am sorry. I don't think that I can bear the burden of becoming the number one hero."

"..." Toshinori.
