Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 289: Each of them

On the screen, Toshinori, who was in his skeleton-like shape, appeared before many reporters, meeting them to do a press conference for the first time. 

The incident in Odaiba had been a lingering fear, but the government's announcement that All Might had triumphed over the symbol of terror, All For One, brought a collective sigh of relief. 

While this was something that everyone was happy about, everyone knew that All Might, or Toshinori, wasn't in the position to do a hero activity anymore, especially when they saw his tragic figure during the fight. 

At the same time, they also wanted to know the young man who had appeared at the last. 

Everyone wanted to know, but the government had been tightlipped about the identity of this young man. 

While the public wished to know, those who were blown could do nothing except follow those who were at the top. 

If the top didn't wish to say anything, then those who were below could only succumb. 

Nevertheless, if there was something that they were glad for, the symbol of terror had been defeated, and the next symbol of peace existed, but it still needed time for him to appear, especially when Toshinori still existed. 

"No, I won't retire." 

Once again, the figure of All Might, with whom everyone was familiar, appeared before everyone. 

At first, Toshinori appeared weak, but then he showed a strong, healthy, and rosy appearance. After being healed by Isao, his body became even stronger, and he felt like he could do his hero activity even longer. 

"I will continue my job as a hero until the end, but at the same time, I will also educate my disciple." 

"Disciple? Do you mean that he is going to become the next symbol of peace?"

"No." Toshinori shook his head and said, "Yes, the symbol of peace is necessary, but after all of that, I believe a symbol of peace shouldn't only rely on the power of a single person. While I have chosen him as my disciple, I won't expect him to become a symbol of peace like me, but I believe that he can become a great hero or someone who will support society in a beneficial way, so here, I beg you." 

Toshinori bowed his head toward everyone and said, "At this moment, he is still a young man. While he is strong, his mind is still immature, and he isn't ready to face all of this, so I beg you to wait." 

Hearing those words, everyone was relieved, but still, if possible, they wanted to know who the next generation that Toshinori touted was. 

Similarly, the world was also curious, yet this information was hidden, and only a few people knew. 

More importantly, Isao also controlled those who tried to get to know him so he could have a quiet middle school life. Naturally, the only characters he controlled were those that didn't appear in the story. 

As for those who appeared in the story, he didn't do much since he knew he could trust them. 

Nevertheless, for those who watched Toshinori's press conference, everyone fell in silence, especially two boys who aspired to become the best hero. 

As his mother often went to Isao's place, Bakugo naturally knew that Isao had become Toshinori's inheritor. While he felt it was complex, he could only accept it. However, while he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Isao was suitable to become Toshinori's inheritor. 

Isao's heroic figure when he saved him and also fought against that opponent made Bakugo realize how far the distance between him and Isao was. 

Yet, it didn't matter. 

In Bakugo's eyes, it was good to have a rival. 

"It will be too boring if I get the first place so easily." 

Isao might have transferred away from the middle school, and Bakugo never ever thought of visiting Isao either, especially since Isao's house was just next to him. More importantly, it wasn't like they wouldn't meet each other since he knew that, as Isao became a hero, they would meet each other at the Yuuei Hero Department. 

However, before that, Bakugo had to work hard to become a hero, and at the same time, he had to take care of his mother since it seemed Mitsuki was pregnant.

Frankly, Bakugo wanted to complain since Mitsuki wasn't young anymore, yet this mother of his got pregnant, but he had to say he anticipated his younger sibling. 

"Hopefully, it is a girl," Mitsuki said lovingly as she gently caressed her belly. 

"Yeah..." 

Bakugo had to admit that a little sister was cuter than a little brother, but then, besides being the number one hero, his other concern was whether he could become a good older brother or not. 

On the other hand, Midoriya, who tried to go after Toshinori that night, knew that everything was too late. The world knew about the weakness of Toshinori, but at the same time, the world also knew about the next symbol of peace that Toshinori would teach. 

'The next symbol of peace...' 

When Midoriya thought of this, he couldn't help but cry, feeling at a loss, wondering what he should do since he knew that his dream was broken. He could no longer become a hero, or rather, as he didn't have power, it was impossible for him to become a hero. 

Then, should he change his dream? 

As Midoriya wondered what he should do, suddenly, one day when he woke up, he awoken his Quirk. 

"Eh?" 

Yes, Isao decided to awaken Midoriya a Quirk, and naturally, this Quirk wasn't One For All. Instead, it was a Quirk of Midoriya's mother, Inko Midoriya, which gave Midoriya an ability like a telekinesis. 

As for whether Midoriya could grow this ability, Isao wasn't sure, but he gave him a chance. 

Yet, compared to the two, those who lived in the darkness and could only live in the shadow knew that it was their turn. 

One For All, the symbol of terror, had fallen, and One Might, the symbol of peace, could no longer perform like before. 

It was their turn. 

Their turn to become the next symbol of peace. 

As for the next symbol of peace, they could only laugh, thinking that it was all in a naught. 

The next symbol of peace? 

They felt that it was just a clown or a rumor created by the government so that society could be stable. 

"The next symbol of peace?!" 

A man with a disfigured appearance had just stabbed his blade into one of the heroes in the dark alley. "What a joke!" 

Deep in the underground, a group of people gathered together as they looked at the man with a beak-like mask. 

"Now, it is our turn." 

In another place, on the highest floor of one of the most luxurious buildings in the city, various people with many high positions smiled as they made a strange gesture like an "L" word with their thumbs on their foreheads. 

"It's our time for a revolution!" 

Yet, compared to all of that, a young man lay on the dirty bar as he looked at the television screen obsessively. 

"Sensei... Sensei... Sensei..." 

"Shigaraki, this is the man... you have to defeat him..." 

The screen on the television changed, showing two figures that made his teacher live a hell-like life. 

"All Might... and..." 

As the young man muttered, he remembered the appearance of the two. 

On the other hand, Isao also watched this press conference in his room lazily. He sat on the sofa, watching Toshinori, who reassured everyone that he would continue to work as a hero with a sigh of relief. 

Frankly, if Toshinori wasn't okay, Isao could imagine that he would be forced to work directly. 

Fortunately, Toshinori was okay. 

Nevertheless, Isao knew that his situation couldn't be like before, and he knew that as the next symbol of peace and someone who inherited the power of One For All, he had a responsibility above many people. 

While his predecessors, and even Toshinori, might tell him that he was free to do anything that he wanted since All For One had been defeated, Isao knew that as he had inherited this power, he was expected to do something extraordinary. 

If Isao was a normal young man, there was no doubt that this pressure was great, and Nana also understood that, so she had been comforting him many times, which made him helpless since he had a hard time cleaning up his pants. 

'If only I had cleaning magic or ability...' 

Suddenly, Isao remembered that there was a hero who had the ability to make a black hole, but somehow, he felt that it was too dangerous, and he felt that his pants would be ripped apart if he used a black hole to clean up his pants. 

As Isao wondered how to get a cleaning magic or ability, the door of his room was knocked on. 

Was it a doctor or a nurse? 

No. 

"Please enter." 

The door was slightly opened, and a gentle and demure mature woman smiled softly in his direction. 

"Isao-kun, do you like oranges? My daughter just bought them for me." 

"....." 

Isao blinked his eyes and nodded. "Yes, I love oranges." 

Hearing his answer, the gentle and demure mature woman entered his hospital room and closed the door.
