Chereads / Reincarnated in my Hero Academia / Chapter 20 - Inheritance

Chapter 20 - Inheritance

In a house somewhere in Musutafu City

All Might was resting on his couch. During this past month of doing hero work, he had noticed that his strength had weakened a considerable amount.

Not only had his strength decreased but his body was still in a terrible state. The more he thought about his current state the more helpless he felt.

As all might kept resting he could not help but think of Sir Nighteye.

'Six to seven years huh' thought all might with a pensive look on his face

When Sir Nighteye had predicted All Mights death. All might was shocked to hear how long he had left to live.

At first All Might thought he could handle fighting criminals and slowly heal his wound in the process. Sadly during this past month he was able to tell that his wound was not healing but slowly getting worse the longer he did hero work.

Although the healing ability kei used helped All Might recover a bit. Sadly thanks to All Might over exerting himself, that recovery kei would apply to him would slowly fade.

'I hate to admit it but he was right. At the rate I am going, it will not be long till I die' thought All Might

The more he thought of his mortality, the more he thought of what would happen when he was gone.

'Maybe I should start looking for someone to inherit One For All' thought all might with a look of doubt on his face

When All Might thought of getting someone that could inherit One For All. He could only think of one person he could entrust this power to.

———————————————————————

A week had passed since Kei got his guitar.

During this time Kei had been doing his usual routine.

Today was Saturday and Kei was finishing up his training.

Just as Kei was going into his house to take a shower, he got a call from Shou.

When Kei heard from Shou that his parents were going to test out the new version of their prototype suit. He immediately went to take a shower. Afterward he dried himself, put his clothes on and made his way to the door.

———————————————————————-

When Kei got to Shou's house, Shou was already waiting for him in front of his mansion.

As they were making their way to Shou's parents lab. Kei and Shou chatted about how their new school term was going as well as things they have been doing in their spare time.

Kei had told Shou about how he bought himself a guitar and had been playing it on his spare time.

When Shou heard from Kei that he got a guitar. He wondered if he should learn an instrument as well.

As soon as Shou thought about that, he dropped the idea. He was already busy with his training and studies. Not to mention the fact that he would go spend time with his parents to learn more about the gadgets and gear he would be using in the future. Finally Kei and Shou made it to Shou's parents lab.

When the both of them entered the lab. Kei saw the suit in front of him. He was shocked at how amazing it looked.

'It looks way better than I could have imagined and this is still not the finished work' thought Kei as he looked in wonder at the work of art in front of him

As Kei was looking at the armor suit. Shou's parents appeared, coming in from another room.

Once Kei and Shou's parents finished greeting each other, Shou's parents then started explaining the functions of the suit as well as the future functions they wanted to add.

Currently Shou's suit had some stunning features added to it. Some of the features that Kei liked the most were the enhancement in strength, flight capabilities, as well as an actual barrier that surrounded the suit to further protect the user.

The biggest problem at the moment regarding the suit was the power source. Currently the suits use limit was about three hours before it stops functioning.

This was quite a big problem, after all this time limit was just from regular use and not going into combat against a villain. If Shou fought against a villain and used the full capabilities of the suit, he would be lucky to last about thirty minutes before the suit shut down from loss of power.

When Kei heard from Shou's parents about how they were designing a new type of power source that would allow Shou to last longer using the suit.

Kei felt very impressed at the progress Shou's parents were making. The more he thought about the new source of power the suit would have. The more he thought of an idea for the suit.

When Kei told Shou's parents of this idea he had for the suit. Shou's parents were shocked of the idea Kei had. If they could implement the idea Kei had into the suit. This could be a trump card Shou could have, that would insure his victory in a battle.

Once Shou's parents made up their minds to implement keis idea into the suit they got right to work on making a design of the idea.

As Kei saw Shou's parents make their way to the room they had come in from. He knew that they were going to be in there for a while.

Since Kei and Shou had seen the current capabilities of the suit. They made their way outside the lab and decided to shoot some arrows for fun.

While they were shooting arrows Kei noticed just how good Shou was hitting a bullseye.

"You are getting really good at shooting arrows. Seems like all that training is showing its results" said Kei with a smile on his face

"Well I better be good. Otherwise master Linda would train me half to death till I was" said Shou as he laughed and shot another arrow hitting the bullseye yet again

"With the skills you have now and the gadgets your parents have made. You could probably be accepted to UA High School right now" said Kei as he shot another arrow slightly missing the bullseye

"Maybe you are right, but I do not know if I will be able to keep up with the students there just yet" said Shou as he shot another arrow

One thing Shou had learned during his time training was that he still had a long way to go before he was ready for actual combat.

All of Shou's masters had quirks that helped them in battle. When Shou was shown just how useful a quirk could be in a fight.

Shou knew that if he wanted to stand a chance, he had to master all the skills he was being taught. That way, he would at least be able to fight on par with the most dangerous of villains in the future.

'I have a long way to go before I am ready to enter UA High' thought Shou as he continued to shoot arrows at the target

When Kei saw that Shou was not getting overconfident and knowing how far his skills have reached this far. He was satisfied knowing his friend was thinking about his current state and just how much farther he could go with his training.

'He is getting better every time I see him' thought Kei as he saw Shou hit another bullseye

After a few minutes had passed, Kei and Shou finished shooting arrows.

Since they had both finished their training for the day. They decided to go out to eat.

After a while Kei and show finally agreed to go eat at a restaurant that served great food.

———————————————————————

At the same time in Keis home.

"How have you been lately?" Asked Detective Naomasa in a calm voice

"As well as I could be" answered the man with a smile on his face

"Hah, you could have been better if you did not leave the hospital" said Detective Naomasa in a helpless tone

"Well, you are not wrong" said the man with a wry smile on his face

The man sitting in the living room was none other than All Might.

"How is your injury holding up?" Asked Detective Naomasa as he looked at the current shape All Mights was in

Right now All Might looked weak. Though he did not look as bad as he did in the anime or manga. He was not too far off from reaching that state.

"I am not going to lie to you Tsukauchi, it is actually worsening" said All Might in a serious tone

"If it is getting worse, then you should stop doing hero work and focus on recovering instead" said Detective Naomasa as he looked at All Might with a worried look on his face

"You know I cannot do that Tsukauchi" said All Might with a serious look in his eyes

"Hah, why are you so stubborn All Might. Other heroes can handle crime while you rest" said Detective Naomasa

"If that was true I would not have left the hospital that day, and you know that" responded All Might

"All right, let us stop talking about what has passed" said Detective Naomasa as he continued "I realized you have been doing less hero work lately"

"I can only do hero work up to six hours everyday. If I push it anymore than that, I can feel myself growing weaker" said All Might with worry in his eyes

"Does that mean, what I think it means?" Said Detective Naomasa with a nervous expression on his face

"Yes, I can feel that I am slowly losing the ability to use One For All. Not only that, the more I push myself to use it longer, the more damage it does to my injury" said All Might

"And yet you still choose to use it" said Detective Naomasa

"It is because of what it is doing to me that I have come to a decision" said All Might with a serious voice

"Did you finally decide to stop hero work until you recover enough to not hurt you" said Detective Naomasa with a bit of hope in his voice

"No, I am still going to do hero work. The decision I have come to is, that I need to in trust One For All to someone that I can trust" said All Might

When Detective Naomasa heard what All Might said, he was shocked. He had already heard about how One For All worked. A quirk that could be passed on to another and grow stronger as it was passed down to the next user, increasing their physical abilities to superhuman levels.

"I know Mirai established his own hero agency and that he is also looking for someone to inherit One For All from me" said All Might

"So you figured that out" said Detective Naomasa

"Of course, I am not a fool" said All Might

"So says the man that is allowing himself to get injured by his own quirk" said Detective Naomasa in a sarcastic tone

All Might could only dodge Detective Naomasas statement in embarrassment "anyway, that is my plan"

"So you going to wait till Mirai finds someone or are you looking for someone yourself" said Detective Naomasa

"Actually, I think I already found someone I can in trust this quirk to" said All Might in a confident manner

"Really, who is the person you have in mind to inherit One For All" said Detective Naomasa with Curiosity in his voice

"Well, that is actually why I came here" said All Might before he continued "the person I want to inherit One For All is Kei"
