==========

No one could believe what Izuku had just suggested. Help a dragon? The idea seemed absurd, almost laughable. According to Igneel, only a handful of dragons had ever sided with humans throughout history. The rest were known for their immense strength and ferocity, powers far beyond what their world could handle.

Dragons were mythical beings of incredible might, and their very existence posed a potential threat. Most people couldn't fathom the idea of aiding such a creature, let alone trusting one. Izuku's proposal stirred a mix of fear, skepticism, and intrigue among everyone.

'Are you insane!? What if she's a threat!?' Kudo said.

'If this dragon happens to be evil then it's best we end it here.' Bruce said.

'Let's not be hasty. I'm sure we don't need to go that far.' Hikage said.

'Agree, I think we should as Igneels opinion.' En said, turning to Igneel.

[ "If Izuku goes all out, I'm sure he can defeat her, especially how weak she is. I'm sure she won't recover immediately if we removed that sword." ] Igneel noted sensing that the sword was negating the power of the dragon.

On the other hand, the dragon was inspecting them closely, its gaze fixed particularly on Izuku. It tried to discern his true intentions, peering deep into his soul. To its surprise, it found not just one, but eight distinct entities within him, one of which lacked a solid form. What truly caught her eye, however, was something even more astonishing.

"Is that a dragon soul inside his soul?" she thought, utterly baffled by the power it radiated. As she continued to study this phenomenon, the dragon soul within Izuku suddenly became aware of her scrutiny. Recognizing her presence, it responded with a fierce, protective glare that sent chills down her spine.

[ "it seems able to see us. Or at least vaguely." ] Igneel said to them, surprising them.

'Is that bad?' En asked.

[ "No, at most, it can simply see a silhouette." ] Igneel explained while the dragon dumbfounded at the dragon soul residing in Izuku.

'Is this dragon soul the reason why he smells like a dragon? Also who is this dragon!? It's stronger than my father!?' She thought upon sensing the prowess that Igneel has.

[ A/N: I'm basing this scaling to VS battle. So blame them. ]

She continued to inspect Izuku, her curiosity now piqued even more. Suddenly, she felt a warmth envelop her, a sensation so profound and comforting that it took her by surprise. The dragon had never encountered such a soul before—one blazing with purity and light.

Before her stood not just a mere human but someone whose spirit shone with an unblemished light. This purity was a stark contrast to the chaotic and often dark energies she was accustomed to. The warmth wrapped around her like a gentle embrace, soothing and comforting, dispelling her initial fear and hesitation.

In that moment, the dragon realized that Izuku was not like any other human she had encountered. His soul, vibrant and untainted.

This soul radiated an unyielding goodness, a kind of purity that seemed almost otherworldly. It was unlike anything she had ever seen in humans or even other dragons. The warmth spread through her, dissolving some of her skepticism and fear.

For the first time, she began to understand that there might be something truly unique and special about this boy. Perhaps, just perhaps, helping him was not as absurd as it initially seemed.

'I'm going to help her. I don't want to leave anyone in need of saving.' Izuku declared resolutely. His words hung in the air, heavy with determination. The others, though initially hesitant, recognized the unwavering conviction in his voice. They wanted to protest, to caution him against the potential dangers, but something about Izuku's resolve silenced their objections.

As he took a step forward, the dragon flinched, a mix of surprise and uncertainty flashing in her eyes. She had never encountered a human so fearless, so resolute in the face of such overwhelming power. Izuku's pure soul and his unyielding desire to help resonated with her in a way she had never experienced before.

"Can I?" Izuku asked her once again and the dragon scoffed at his words.

"I don't know, can you? This holy sword is made by the gods that are capable of harming me. If you were to try to remove it then your soul will turn to dust." She explained scaring Mizuna.

"But we won't know unless we try." Izuku said and the dragon was impressed by his stubbornness to give up.

"Do what you will, I highly doubt you can. Don't blame me if you die." The dragon said to him while Izuku looked determined and turned to Mizuna.

"Mizuna helped me get on top of her." Izuku said.

"Are you deaf!? Didn't you hear what she said? You'll die!?" Mizuna said.

"Trust me. I won't." His gaze stayed firm so Mizuna stepped back knowing she can't change his mind and sprouted her wings.

"Fine." She reluctantly accepted and took Izuku into the dragon's back while it watched him try to pull it away.

"What a fool. It is impos—" Before she could finish her sentence when Izuku pulled it like it was made of paper which confused him.

'It's really light!? I wonder why though.' Izuku thought as the sword fell into the ground as the wound suddenly closed and healed while the dragon left speechless.

"There you all are fine now." He said while he jumped down from her back.

"U-unbelievable… to think you could take that Sword out of me… but I still have to thank you for saving my life, from now on you're my benefactor." It said while Izuku was surprised that she changed her tone.

'Guess we survived this one.' Diagoro said and the rest of them felt relieved that the dragon hadn't done anything.

"No problem. I'm someone who wants to be a hero to save everyone no matter who may be." Izuku said, giving a captivating smile that easily shot through the dragon's heart.

"Ah, what's your name?" Izuku asked her.

"Tohru." She quickly answered him.

"Mine is Izuku Midoriya but you can just call me Izuku and this here is Mizuna." Izuku introduces the exceed.

"Hi there. I'm curious but who were you fighting with and can you tell us about yourself?" Mizuna stepped forward and asked the dragon her name. The dragon, Tohru, nodded and began to explain her origins. Izuku listened intently, his curiosity piqued. As she spoke, he learned that she was once part of an evil faction, a revelation that confused him. Despite her past, he sensed no current malevolence within her.

As a Dragon Slayer, Izuku possessed heightened senses that allowed him to discern an individual's true nature. While he could detect traces of past darkness in Tohru, there was no immediate sense of danger. Instead, what he felt was a deep weariness and a sense of being lost.

Tohru's eyes reflected a long history of conflict and strife, but also a glimmer of hope, perhaps ignited by Izuku's unexpected kindness. She had been through much and seemed tired of the constant battles and the role she had been forced to play.

Izuku's intuition told him that Tohru's current state was not one of inherent evil but of a soul seeking redemption and peace. This realization solidified his resolve to help her, convinced that beneath her formidable exterior lay a being deserving of compassion and a chance at a new beginning.

On the other hand, Izuku began to speak about his world to her, sharing a bit of himself such as being a dragon slayer and how his story began. Mizuna was confused why he was sharing this to a stranger but Izuku felt like it was the right thing to do.

"So this world has Heroes as well but not by the gods. And this "Quirk" is an innate ability that 80% of the population has?" Tohru said and Izuku nodded.

"And you happen to obtain a soul of a dragon that teaches you an art to slay dragons?" She continued in awe listening to the story.

"Yup, and he is a father figure to me. His name is Igneel, The Fire Dragon King." He proudly said and they continued to chat even further enjoying each other's company as the holy sword soon disappeared.

'Hey kid, it seems after touching that Holy sword it latches itself into you.' Diagoro said as they all noticed a new presence joining them.

'Does that mean the sword has santiences?' En asked, looking at the developing being that still hasn't fully reached its maturity.

[ "Most likely it doesn't have an ego but given time it's possible we'll have another member here." ] Igneel said.

'Should we be concerned?' Nana asked.

[ "I don't know but we can handle it if it is." ] Igneel said while Izuku listened to them, deciding to wait and see how things would turn out. Eventually, Izuku had to go back home and turn to Tohru who needed more than what he had done earlier.

"Hey, if you don't have any place to go, why not come with me?" Izuku suggested receiving a dumbstruck look from Tohru and Mizuna with the latter wanting to voice her opinion but realize she was in a similar situation to that Tohru has and would be unfair for her to stop Izuku from helping her.

"...Why? Why would you suggest something like that and decide to help me?" Tohru was particularly confused by Izuku's actions.

"Because I am a hero and my job is to help anyone I can. My dream is to become a beacon of hope, someone you can look up to and feel inspired to do the same like my idol, Allmight!" Izuku said spreading his arms to giving the brightest smile reminiscent of Allmight. It made Tohru feel at peace and safe as if it told her everything will be alright.

"A hero? You're a strange one. Well, I accept if you insist." Tohru said and Izuku couldn't be happier while Mizuna pouted in jealousy. She didn't like another girl living with them even if their house is big enough.

"Great! But…uhm…can you turn into a human? I heard some dragons can change into human form?" Igneel never learned transformation before and this form of magic came long after he had died.

Tohru nodded as she began to transform before their eyes were before long a young girl with long blonde hair with flaming orange tips and red-orange eyes with dilated pupils, and a buxom figure with large thighs and large breasts appeared wearing nothing but a cloak.

"...Beautiful." Izuku was mesmerized by her, especially his instincts as a dragon slayer that affected his attraction towards Tohru. As a dragon slayer, he has a tendency to like strong women, it doesn't need to be physical, just a strong willed woman is enough.

"I-I…thanks?" Tohru blushed as she heard him calling her beautiful, this was the first time someone had complimented her human form as beautiful.

So her thoughts went blank, she was unable to form something coherent, she didn't know how to reply to something like this except by simple thanks.

Izuku blinked for a moment, realizing what he had done and suddenly blushing.

'Hahaha boi really is a tits man. A man of culture indeed. This boy is adding women like it's Pokémon.' Diagoro said.

'What?' Izuku asked after hearing their conversation.

'Nothing.' Diagoro said with a smirk. The rest of them are aware of how the girls feel about Izuku. If any girl gets the chance to talk to Izuku then they would certainly feel something.

Meanwhile, Mizuna saw this and immediately realized that her chances of attaining human form were now possible!

"Wait, was that transformation magic!?" Mizuna asked.

"Yes?" Tohru is confused why the talking cat seems interested in it.

"Can you teach me!?" Mizuna asked while Tohru was surprised by this while Izuku nodded.

'Do you think she can help me with the dragonization?' Izuku asked Igneel.

[ "Her magic is different from what I know but it's possible. Though, we still need to be careful to avoid you from going on a rampage." ] Igneel said. Izuku inwardly nodded as he turned to Tohru.

"Me too. I want to ask if you can help me because I've mentioned the effects of being a dragon slayer." Izuku said and Tohru was amazed when he heard about this form of magic turning humans into dragons.

"I will, like I've said I am indebted to you for saving me." Tohru said and Izuku smiled.

"Then let's be friends from now on," Izuku said with a warm smile. His words took Tohru by surprise, stirring memories of her friends back in her own world. For a moment, she was caught off guard.

She felt a strange, unfamiliar sensation welling up inside her. Happiness. Hearing Izuku's sincere offer of friendship and seeing the genuine kindness in his face brought an unexpected warmth to her heart. Tohru had been prepared for hostility, suspicion, and rejection, but instead, she found acceptance and an open hand extended in friendship.

"Okay, let's be friends." Tohru smiled and Izuku nodded then blush once again.

"Uhmm…before we head to my home. Uhmm..c-can you use magic to create clothes? Like this." Izuku took out his phone and showed some clothes. Tohru was confused by his reaction since she never understood human obsession in clothing but felt happy when seeing him blush.

'I wonder what this feeling is…'
