~BNHA~ Everything That I Am

Chapter 32

"So you have All Might's quirk." Aizawa said.

His tone was neutral and Izuku couldn't gauge his reaction, which only heightened his worry.

"Yes, technically. All Might didn't have the chance to explain everything about how it works, but that's the gist of it." Izuku said.

"Okay, what about the black whips? Was that your original quirk?" Aizawa inquired.

"No, I was quirkless before that," Izuku admitted.

They faced each other in the empty training room. His friends had given him privacy for the day, understanding the significance of this conversation. Aizawa leaned against a far wall, his arms crossed, his gaze calculated as he observed Izuku, who squirmed under his scrutiny. Uncertain of the outcome, Izuku and his group agreed this was their best option, prepared to deal with whatever consequences arose.

"Anything else I should know?" Aizawa asked.

Izuku contemplated whether he should keep the voices to himself, but he had already gone this far. If this was part of his quirk, perhaps Aizawa could help him understand and control it.

"Well... I hear voices," Izuku confessed.

One of Aizawa's eyebrows arched, displaying curiosity and concern.

"Like ghosts?" Aizawa asked.

"No, I don't think they're ghosts," Izuku responded.

Izuku's fingers intertwined with his foot tapping. The information was so personal it left him vulnerable talking to someone other than Kacchan about it.

"I can hear All Might, and I believe they're the voices of the previous quirk owners."

Aizawa remained silent, considering Izuku's words. As they locked eyes, an uncomfortable silence stretched between them.

"Okay," Aizawa said.

Izuku blinked, unsure of the meaning behind the simple response.

"Okay?" Izuku repeated, seeking clarification.

Aizawa shrugged his shoulders and scratched his head after a moment of consideration.

"Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of the voices. I'll need time to think about what to do with that information. But for now, let's focus on what we can do, which is working on your abilities and seeing it more manifest along the way," Aizawa said.

"More? You think there might be more?" Izuku asked, surprised.

"I don't know, but there's only one way to find out," Aizawa replied.

Aizawa began training Izuku, observing him while he completed a series of intensive exercises.

"Once we have your Black Whip under control, I'll have you train with Shinsou and Sero. I think Sero can offer valuable insights. You're fast and seem to have a good handle on controlling your speed, but your strength is your biggest weakness," Aizawa explained.

"How can we get a black whip to work, right?" Izuku inquired.

Aizawa grinned, sending a chill down Izuku's spine. In another life, Aizawa could have made an excellent villain.

"If it manifested during extreme situations, then we'll have to recreate those conditions and see if we can force it out," Aizawa suggested.

Aizawa's training was relentless, pushing Izuku to his limits as he attempted to force his Black Whip quirk to manifest.

The seasoned hero held nothing back, launching a series of attacks with calculated precision. Izuku continued to find himself on the defensive, his primary goal forced to dodge and evade rather than counterattack.
