Chapter 13: Origin
After calming the situation regarding the frightened citizens with the presence of Ikuto and Midoriya and resting a lot, the young men start training for the next battle against the villains, but Ikuto decides to train alone in a training room since his quirk is very powerful.
Ikuto: It's time to get started! "Activating His Quirk"
After two hours of starting, Ikuto is exhausted as he used up much of his power, causing him to fall to the ground on his knees.
Ikuto: Damn! I forgot that I no longer have that device on my neck to restore my energy! I think I'm going to faint... "Exhausted"
After using too much power, Ikuto deactivates his quirk and falls to the ground with no energy and seconds away from being knocked unconscious.
Ikuto: Damn... "He falls to the ground fainting"
While Ikuto was unconscious, the young man has a kind of dream in which he meets some people who seem to know him.
Ikuto: Where am I?
Nana Shimura: We finally get to know each other.
Ikuto: What? Who are you? Where am I?
Daigoro Banjo: Don't worry, son. We are not your enemies.
Ikuto: How did I end up here?
Yoichi Shigaraki: You're unconscious, and you're in the vestige world of One For All.
Ikuto: What? Does that mean that...?
Nana Shimura: That's right, we are the previous bearers of One For All.
Ikuto: "Surprised"
Hikage Shinomori: You must have a lot of questions.
Ikuto: I don't understand. Why am I here?
Yoichi Shigaraki: You've come too far to become strong and that's why you're here. What's more, I'm surprised that you have the ability to speak.
Ikuto: But the One For All isn't my quirk.
Nana Shimura: That's true, but your quirk was born through One For All and because of that, you have access here.
Ikuto: I had no idea.
En: Listen, you're here because we need to talk to you about something very important.
Ikuto: What is it about?
Daigoro Banjo: It's all about you, son.
Ikuto: Is it about me?
Nana Shimura: When you appeared here, we were able to learn about how you were actually born, and also about the true potential of your quirk.
Ikuto: But I already know how I was born and...
En: Without realizing it, you misunderstood things.
Ikuto: What are you talking about, sir?
En: Pay close attention.
Ikuto: "Confused"
Yoichi Shigaraki: When that demented girl named Himiko Toga obtained the blood of young Izuku Midoriya while wearing the One For All, a small fragment of the One For All was stolen as you know.
Ikuto: "Listening Carefully"
Nana Shimura: You know that the One For All is an extremely powerful quirk, and if a quirk is born thanks to the One For All, then do you really think that only a quirk with immense power will be generated?
Ikuto: What? Eh...
Hikage Shinomori: What we want to tell you is that the quirk you possess was born with a will.
Ikuto: What!? My quirk was born with a will! "Screaming in surprise"
Hikage Shinomori: Yes, your quirk's will was to reside in a living being.
En: However, your quirk didn't have enough power to get it.
Ikuto: Get what?
En: Create a living being in the likeness of your friend Izuku Midoriya.
Ikuto: I can't believe it!
Yoichi Shigaraki: That means you were born through the will of a quirk.
Ikuto: So Garaki didn't create me?
Daigoro Banjo: He barely had anything to do with your creation because when he was starting the cloning process he gave enough energy to your quirk inside a capsule, so at that very moment your quirk was able to fulfill its will to create you.
Nana Shimura: Because of this, Garaki got what he wanted as soon as possible.
Ikuto: So... did my quirk create me?
Daigoro Banjo: Yes, boy.
The shocking confirmation of the previous users One For All left Ikuto in awe to learn that his quirk had the will and even the ability to create life.
Ikuto: I don't know what to say. "Stunned"
Nana Shimura: I understand you, boy. What's more, in your place we wouldn't know how to react to this.
Daigoro Banjo: Boy, I know this is completely out of the ordinary for you, but you must know something very important.
Ikuto: What do I need to know?
Daigoro Banjo: Anything can happen in life, and when it comes to quirks, it can be even more surprising.
Hikage Shinomori: Don't see this as horrible to the point of obsessiveness.
En: What you need to do is appreciate what you've achieved so far, not be stunned by how you were born.
Daigoro Banjo: Just think about it, son. What you've achieved so far is wonderful, don't you see? You took your own path which is benevolent! You made new friends! You got stronger! You've defeated a sinister villain! You saved innocent lives! You got accepted to the UA!
Ikuto: "Understanding the conversation better"
Nana Shimura: To make you feel better, I must inform you... that you're human. Only you were born from a quirk.
Daigoro Banjo: That's right, what part of your quirk could create life didn't you understand, boy?
Ikuto: "Smiling"
Nana Shimura: We also want to take this opportunity to tell you how to get your next evolution.
Ikuto: My next evolution?
Yoichi Shigaraki: That's right. Please don't miss a detail of what we're going to say.
After giving all the information to Ikuto to get his next evolution, the young man would be satisfied.
Ikuto: I'm satisfied with everything you all have told me, but if you have anything else to tell me, that would be fine with me.
Nana Shimura: So far, that would be it.
Ikuto: I thank you all. I promise you that All For One will be defeated.
Yoichi Shigaraki: We're convinced of that. "Smiling"
After finishing his meeting with the ancient wielders on the vestige world of One For All, Ikuto immediately wakes up.
Ikuto: "Opening my eyes slowly"
Upon waking up, Ikuto remembers in detail the reunion he had in the vestige world of One For All, meaning that he didn't have a dream at all.
Ikuto: It wasn't a dream, it was real. Now I have what I need to reach my next evolution... And I also know about my origin... But it's not extremely horrible. "Smiling slightly"
Ikuto now sets out to go with Midoriya and the others to inform them of his new progress, and also of his origin.
Ikuto: I have to go to Midoriya and the others to inform them of this.
End of Chapter 13
Important note on chapter 13:
The second and third users of the One For All also spoke with Ikuto about how to get their next evolution.
