[MHCISQD] Chapter 286: Dream

The quilt in the room was in a terrible state of disrepair, definitely unusable. After tidying it up a bit, Midoriya placed it on the balcony. Given the current situation, he wasn't in the mood to go back to sleep.

After helping with the room cleanup, Renault sat on a chair and looked at Midoriya sitting at the edge of the bed. He said, "Alright, spill it. What exactly happened?"

"I... I had a dream."

"A dream?"

Can a dream cause this kind of phenomenon?

Midoriya shook his head. "Not an ordinary dream. In the dream, I saw All For One and the first generation of One For All, and several past users of One For All."

"Is it because of One For All Quirk?"

"I don't know..." Midoriya frowned. "Renault-kun, you should remember what All Might said about the origins of One For All, right? In the dream, I saw that scene. It felt like I was actually there, witnessing All For One forcefully transferring Quirks to his younger brother, and that gave birth to One For All."

"It seems that One For All not only contains the accumulated strength of the past users but also harbors something else, like the memories of the users. They must have been carried along when the strength was passed down." Renault said his assumption.

"I think it's more than that..." Midoriya shook his head, looking at his own hands. "At that time, I saw the first generation speaking, and he was looking at me."

"Looking at you?" Renault's composure faltered. He vaguely felt that One For All might be even more complex than he had previously speculated.

Midoriya explained, "At the time, I could only watch. My eyes couldn't move at all. Then I saw the first generation turn his head and say that he wanted me to see more, but he said that I'm only at twenty percent now, or something like that. He also mentioned that I had already passed a certain point that I couldn't understand."

"Are you sure it was the first generation of One For All who spoke to you?" Renault furrowed his brow, starting to analyze the situation.

Midoriya nodded with certainty. "Yes, our gazes met at that moment. And I also saw the other users of One For All, including All Might. I am the ninth generation."

Rubbing his chin, Renault became even more certain of his speculation.

One For All definitely still contains other abilities that haven't been unearthed yet. Since it harbors the consciousness of the first generation, is it possible that it also contains the consciousness of other users?

Apart from the first-generation and the eighth-generation All Might, the other users of One For All were not Quirkless. Besides One For All, they all possessed their own original strengths, their own Quirks.

Could it be possible that this strength is really inherited alongside One For All?

Looking around the walls and floor marks in the room, Renault confirmed that this damage wasn't caused by One For All. It was definitely the result of some other strength.

His previous speculation was practically confirmed, and these strengths should also be a result of an awakening.

Midoriya on the opposite side saw Renault deep in thought and hesitantly asked, "Renault-kun, did you find something?"

For now, it would be best not to tell Midoriya.

Renault shook his head, deep in thought. "I have some clues, but I don't know how to continue the analysis. The leads are still too few... Midoriya, how do you feel physically right now?"

"My body... there's no problem. It's just that my mind is filled with questions..." Midoriya replied, gripping his hand tightly, his face displaying all his confusion.

Rising from his seat, Renault patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, there's no use dwelling on these thoughts for now. Let's rest and tomorrow we'll go ask All Might about it. We'll share these details with him and see if he has any ideas."

"Yeah, that's all we can do. Thanks, Renault-kun."

"No problem, we're all schoolmates after all. I'll go rest now, and tomorrow after breakfast, we'll go find All Might."

When Renault returned to his room, he noticed the light was on.

"Why are you awake?"

"I was going to ask you the same. Where did you disappear to?" Sitting on the bed, Yaoyorozu rubbed her eyes and asked, "What were you doing?"

"Midoriya had some trouble, so I went to find out more."

"Midoriya-kun? What happened?"

"Oh right, I think I forgot to tell you about Midoriya," Renault said with a surprised look.

"What's going on with him? I feel like there are secrets among many of our classmates."

"Midoriya is All Might's successor. He was originally Quirkless but then inherited All Might's Quirk, One For All, which is how he gained his current abilities."

"... Huh?!" Yaoyorozu covered her mouth, shocked beyond words.

This revelation was even more astonishing than Todoroki's family situation for her. Although Yaoyorozu had already noticed that All Might always favored Midoriya, she couldn't have imagined that it was because he had been chosen as the successor of All Might's Quirk, a story that surpassed her expectations.

"But can Quirks really be given away?"

"That's a story in itself. Aren't you sleepy?"

Yaoyorozu shook her head. "You've already shared such explosive secrets with me. How could I possibly sleep now?"

Glancing at the clock, it was nearly 3 AM.

"I don't have anything important tomorrow. If I am sleepy later, I can sleep during the day. But right now, what's most important is my curiosity."

"Alright, fine. I can't sleep either because of what I just found out. Let me tell you about it." Renault said, crawling into bed as he began telling the story of One For All's origins.

Although this was a secret that needed to be kept, Renault had absolute trust in Yaoyorozu. With their close relationship, he knew she would eventually be involved sooner or later. It was better to tell her now than to let her find out later.

===

The next morning, Midoriya, still yawning and eating breakfast, looked exhausted.

After chatting with Renault last night, he had intended to sleep, but the visions he had seen in his dreams kept him awake with his eyes open until dawn.

Renault was also tired, even more so than Midoriya. After all, he had been busy the entire day yesterday. But there was no room for slacking off when it came to the matter of One For All. He decided to endure a bit longer and rest once everything was settled.

Yaoyorozu had yet to come downstairs. She was still catching up on sleep upstairs, and Renault didn't bother waking her up. She would naturally wake up when she got hungry.

Some students from their class had already gone for their work studies, and others had gone to train after breakfast. Renault and Midoriya found All Might as planned and recounted the events of the previous night.

"You dreamed about the past users and even the first generation?" All Might fell into deep thought after listening to Midoriya's account.

Meanwhile, Renault decided to keep his suspicions from Midoriya for now and look for an opportunity to talk to All Might later.
