My Hero Academia: The Legacy of Lost Numbers

Chapter 24: The Dragon against the Embers



Ken: "Come on, Izana, you're not this weak like your sister. I expected more from Midoriya's bloodline."

Izana: "I will show you what I'm capable of!"

Suddenly, black and white goo began spreading across Izana's body, his hidden power awakening.

Izana: "What's this? What's happening to me?"

Ken looked at him, grinning widely.

Ken: "Finally, that's what I've been waiting for. Show me your full power, Izana Midoriya!"

Izana fully transformed, the goo enveloping him completely. He looked up, a new presence emerging.

Izana: "We are not Izana. We are Raven!"

With newfound strength and speed, Raven attacked Ken, moving with venomous intensity.

Ken: "Now that's what I was waiting for! Come at me!"

Izana, now Raven, was in a berserk state, his attacks more powerful and unpredictable. Ken dodged and countered with calculated precision, clearly impressed.

Ken: "Yes, this is it! Show me everything you've got!"

Raven's onslaught continued, each strike more ferocious than the last. Ken responded with equal vigor, matching Raven's newfound strength.

Ken: "This is the real you, Izana! Embrace it!"

Ken activated his Sukuna Kitchen Technique, slicing into Raven's form. However, the wound healed almost instantly.

Raven (Izana): "You underestimate us."

With a powerful roar, Raven created a shockwave, sending Ken flying. Ken, grinning widely, responded.

Ken: "I thought I was the only animal in this class, but I guess you're the same as me in some way."

Ken summoned kinetic energy into his fists and began pummeling Raven with powerful punches.

Ken: "Yes, this is what I want!"

Raven absorbed the kinetic energy and released it in a massive shockwave, sending Ken flying backward. Ken performed a backflip and landed gracefully.

Ken: "Reflection, huh? Interesting."

Without missing a beat, both charged at each other with renewed ferocity. The air crackled with energy as they clashed, each strike echoing through the building. Their battle was intense, showcasing their immense power and determination.

Ken: "Come on, Raven! Show me everything you've got!"

Raven: "We will not hold back!"

Izana lunged at Ken, his shark-like teeth sinking into Ken's neck. Ken, momentarily surprised by the attack, laughed.

Ken: "Even though lots of women have bitten me, this was far better than any bite they could give."

Izana threw Ken across the room, but Ken quickly regenerated his neck wound and stood up, grinning.

Ken: "Your power is insane, Izana. It's a good thing I can't transform into my devil form due to the lack of radiation, or it wouldn't be as much fun for me."

Before Izana could attack again, Toshinori suddenly appeared, stepping in between them.

Ken: "Seriously, 01? I was getting a good fight."

Toshinori: "I sensed a powerful energy, so I came here. I didn't expect this guy to awaken his dormant powers so soon."

With a swift one-inch punch, Toshinori knocked Izana out. As Izana fell unconscious, he began to revert to his normal human form.

Shoya: "That was a good fight. 01, what's your plan after this?"

Toshinori looked at the unconscious Izana thoughtfully.

Toshinori: "Well, I'll see what I can do."

Ken, Shoya, and Toshinori stood over Izana, each lost in their thoughts about the fight and what it revealed about Izana's potential.

Suddenly, Aizawa and Shinso showed up.

Shinso: "What happened to Izana? Why was he different?"

Toshinori: "It looks like he awakened his dormant powers When I sensed two powerful energies, I came here immediately."

Aizawa: "Dormant quirk?"

Shoya: "Yeah, we three already sensed the dormant inside him. Looks like fighting with 02 helped him awaken it."

Ken: "Well, that was a good fight, and I enjoyed it."

Toshinori looked at Ken and then turned to Aizawa.

Toshinori: "We'll figure it out later. For now..."

He glanced around at the nearly destroyed fake city ground.

Toshinori: "Mr. Aizawa, this fake city ground is almost destroyed. I request you postpone the class for now."

Aizawa surveyed the damage and sighed.

Aizawa: "Alright, class is postponed. We'll need to repair the area before continuing."

After that, they took Izana to Eri's hospital room. Suddenly, Izuku and Ochaco showed up, both looking concerned.

Ochaco: "What happened to my son?"

???: "Well, he awakened his dormant quirk."

Both looked at the voice and were surprised to see Toshinori.

Toshinori: "I sensed the clash between two powerful energies, so I came to check."

He explained everything, and they were shocked.

Izuku: "A dormant quirk? But how? Even Eri didn't sense anything from him."

Toshinori: "Because it's more like a power generated by One for All. She couldn't sense it because it was hidden deep inside him, but it looks like while fighting 02, he awakened it."

Izuku: "A power generated by One for All? This is strange."

Toshinori: "Mr. Midoriya, just like your quirk is made for justice and peace, his power is different. It depends on how his host wants to use it."

Eri: "I never expected One for All to work like this."

Toshinori: "Well, Ms. Eri, it's more than that. His power depends on his host. It's like good can become better and bad can become worse, but I believe he'll figure out how to use his powers."

As Toshinori was about to leave, Eri noticed Izuku and Ochaco weren't stopping him. She decided to step in.

Eri: "Wait a minute, 01. Your left arm, let me help you regrow it."

Toshinori looked at her and smiled.

Toshinori: "I appreciate your concern, Miss Eri, but this scar and lost arm reminds me of the time when I thought all heroes were good. Not everyone is like Deku, who is willing to help others without his personal motives."

As Toshinori left the medical room, Izuku suddenly teared up.

Izuku: "Help others without any personal motives... Toshinori, if you come to know about your past, will you still consider me a good person after what I did to you?"

He fell to his knees, overcome with emotion.

Izuku: "I'm the Number One Hero of the world, Deku, but I couldn't even save my own son from his fate. Am I really worthy of being a father? I'm sorry, Toshinori. My choices in the past made you lose everything."

Ochaco and Eri quickly went down to him.

Ochaco: "Honey, those things that happened in the past were not your fault. He is here with us now, and that's enough."

Eri: "Yes, big brother Deku, Toshinori, even though he lost his memories, is still a person with a good heart."

Izuku looked at both of them, wiping his tears.

Izuku: "Ochaco, Eri, thank you for being here for me, but it's not just over yet."

He stood up, determination in his eyes.

Izuku: "The heroes who made my son lose his arm and All for One—they all will pay for what they did to him."

As everyone went outside, Izana was alone in the medical room. Suddenly, he woke up.

Izana: "What happened?"

He remembered the fight between him and Ken.

Izana: "Ah, the fight but..."

He recalled how he transformed and lost control during combat training, but then Toshinori came and handled everything.

Izana: "Toshinori, my brother, he was here... Was that my dormant quirk?"

???: "More like power."

Izana looked around.

Izana: "Who are you? Show yourself!"

Suddenly, a mixture of black and white symbiotic creature started emerging from his shoulder, showing its venomous face.

Raven: "Nice to meet you, Izana. I'm your dormant power. You can call me Raven."
