I, without any personality, become a hero!

"That's right, bro! We both fell for that brat, making our 'Strong Rat' duo a laughingstock."

The burly man and the rat-like man who ran away with the cash register were habitual supermarket robbers. Because their crimes were not serious, they were usually released after a few days in jail. The burly man, with his "strength" personality, was responsible for carrying the goods, while the rat-like man, with his "rat" personality, had keen senses and detected the movements around him.

The last time the city's professional heroes failed to catch them, it was because the rat scouted ahead and escaped in advance; they are two seasoned criminals who commit routine crimes.

"Big brother, it sounds like someone's chasing us?" The rat-like man heard footsteps behind them, then the burly man stopped and turned around. "I think it's that idiot..."

"Run!!" With just those words, the burly man sped off; the rat-like man glanced back, and, equally frightened, ran even faster than the burly man.

"It's that brat again! We've moved to a different city, how did he still get found!"

The burly man was running for his life while groaning helplessly; the rat-like man next to him was speechless. If he were caught now, he would be going to jail again!

"Still trying to run?"

Although the two thieves sped up, making it impossible for Izuku Midoriya to catch up, he didn't necessarily have to. He raised his right hand and aimed it at the two, activating the "Death Glove," from which steel wires shot out.

The steel wire shot out and hit the legs of the burly man and the rat-like man directly. As the two men were still running, their legs stopped, causing them to stumble forward and crash to the ground like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey.

The burly man, entangled in the steel wire, was too lazy to resist. The last time he tried to resist, he was hung from a lamppost. Instead, he complained to Midoriya:

"It's you again, 'Steel Wire Reaper'! We've already fled to other cities, and you still manage to find us. It's not easy for us two brothers to make a living!"

"Can't you just find a regular job? Why do you have to go and rob a supermarket, causing trouble for others!"

"It's impossible for me to work. I'll never work in my life. I don't have any other skills. The only way I can make a living is by robbing cash registers."

The burly man said this, and the rat-like man chimed in:

"Going to the police station feels like coming home. It feels much better than being at home! All the guys in there are talented and nice to talk to. My brother and I really enjoy it there."

Izuku Midoriya was utterly speechless. What kind of people were these? They were complete social scum. He didn't bother to say anything more to these two old thieves and prepared to hang the enemy and call the police.

There happened to be a streetlight by the roadside, and when Izuku Midoriya was about to hoist the two of them upside down, he stopped!

"This is troublesome!"

Midoriya then remembered that his "Death Gauntlet" was filled with steel wire made of a special material, and every bit of this material was precious and could not be wasted.

Izuku suddenly felt conflicted. What if he took these two petty thieves to the police station and was detained for questioning? He was using a fake identity, and he dared not reveal his real name.

"I am coming!!"

With a drawn-out sound, a burly, blond hero plummeted from the sky right in front of Izuku Midoriya, leaving him speechless with astonishment.

"All...All Might!?"

That's right! The person who fell from the sky and stood in front of Izuku Midoriya was none other than the number one hero, his most admired idol, All Might!

"I heard there were two petty thieves causing trouble around here recently. Looks like you've caught them, Akagaya-kun!"

"Huh!? All Might is here to arrest them too? Why would you personally deal with such petty thieves?!"

"A hero is someone who will solve other people's problems no matter what the situation!"

As All Might spoke with his signature smile, Izuku Midoriya quickly memorized the words and copied them into his "All Might Quotes" when he got back!

"Now that you've caught the petty thieves, do you need me to take them to the police station for you?"

"well!!?"

All Might's offer surprised Izuku Midoriya even more; the number one hero was actually willing to do something like this for him.

"After all, it was my mistake that the enemy in the mud escaped yesterday. It's all thanks to you, Akaya-kun, for your help!"

All Might scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and Izuku Midoriya quickly waved his hand in denial: "How could that be? After all, All Might, you saved me from the mud. If it weren't for you, I would have been done for!"

"Then consider this my way of repaying your kindness!" All Might said, easily hoisting the two petty thieves onto his shoulders, and continued:

"Besides, Akaya-kun, you left as soon as you saw the reporters surrounding you yesterday, which seemed to indicate that you didn't want your information to be exposed. So going to the police station is definitely not appropriate. Just leave it to me!"

"All Might...!!" Izuku Midoriya was so moved he couldn't speak. What could be more touching than his idol understanding his situation and being willing to help him?

"By the way, Akaya boy..." All Might suddenly turned back as he was about to leave and asked, "Will you apply to U.A. High School?"

"Huh?!" Midoriya was somewhat surprised; he didn't quite understand why All Might asked that.

"Because I'll soon be working as a teacher at U.A. High School!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"

Seeing All Might giving him a thumbs-up, Izuku Midoriya was so surprised he was speechless.

"If you're coming to U.A., I'll be waiting for you!!"

After leaving those words behind, All Might leaped away, leaving Midoriya standing there, stunned and lost in thought.

Chapter 20 has a plan

Izuku Midoriya really wants to take the Hero Course at U.A. High School.

After All Might told him that he would be working as a teacher at U.A. High School, he completely lost in thought.

However, news soon reported that All Might would be working at U.A. High School as a teacher of Hero Courses.

However, after Izuku researched information about U.A. High School, he discovered that the Hero Course was only for elite students who excelled in the entrance exam. Only this elite class would receive personal instruction from All Might.

"I'm so envious..."

Izuku Midoriya may say he's envious, but he's actually incredibly envious inside. However, the Hero Course at U.A. High School is a challenge for him.

"personality"

As mentioned many times, in order to pass the entrance exam for the U.A. High School Hero Course, besides one's own talent, the most essential thing is "Quirk".

Despite being able to defeat enemies with the help of equipment and gadgets, Izuku Midoriya is undeniably still just a "Quirkless".

This effectively blocked the door to U.A. High School's Hero Course.

During this time, Midoriya researched a lot of information about U.A. High School. There was no precedent for a "quirkless" student joining the Hero Course, but!

U.A. Sports Festival!

This word caught Izuku's eye. According to the information recorded online, the U.A. Sports Meet is not only a major competition that attracts special attention all over Japan and even the world, but it is also a selection process by which U.A. High School will consider outstanding students for inclusion in the Hero Course.

"Maybe this will work..."

Midoriya was secretly plotting in his heart that he would do everything he could to get into the Hero Course!

"All Might's personal instruction!!" Just thinking about it filled Izuku with immense motivation.

"So! There are still ten months left!!"

Midoriya is currently a third-year middle school student, and there are exactly ten months left until he graduates and enters high school. During this time, Izuku cannot afford to stop at all.

----------------------

"So, this is your reason for leaving all these bags and packages in my house?"

"Please, Fa Muming!"

With his palms clasped together and bowing, Izuku Midoriya, the genius inventor, asked for a favor. The favor he asked was simply to give him the various gadgets from his secret base in the seaside park.

"Because my house is only so big, if I bring even a little bit home, my mom will find out!"

Midoriya pointed to the piles of instruments and machinery on the ground. These were precious assets that he had accumulated over a long period of time, and he would probably be heartbroken if he lost them.

At Faming's home, because of her exceptional inventive talent and the family's wealth, her parents set up a research workshop specifically for her.

"Your base is perfectly fine! Why did you move all this stuff here?"

While it wasn't impossible to agree to Midoriya's request, Akira couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

"Since I won't need these for the next while, I've decided to take the entrance exam for the U.A. High School Hero Course!"

Are you out of your mind?

Akira retorted sharply, "She's well aware of U.A. High's exam system. Putting aside the 'Quirk' required for the Hero Course, you can't wear any equipment or props during the exam, which means..."

Izuku Midoriya wants to compete with other students with unique personalities based solely on his stronger physique!

"It's okay. Knowing the outcome will result in failure, but not being willing to try, and holding onto this half-hearted belief, will never make you a hero!"

"Because! Heroes are the ones who can overcome adversity!"

Midoriya, clenching his fist, confidently spoke his mind, even though it was All Might who said those words.

"I'm really impressed by you..."

Covering her head, Akira was somewhat troubled. The Midoriya Izuku she knew was still the same as always, willing to try even if it meant certain death. Only an idiot would do that.

"Anyway, the three exams for the Support Department, Management Department and Hero Department at U.A. High School are all different, and there is no rule that students can only take one exam."

Midoriya said confidently that he had already made preparations. If he was not selected for the Hero Course, he would go to the Support Course. Anyway, it was not like he would not run into All Might at U.A. High School. It would just be a great pity if he could not personally attend All Might's class.

"That being said... have you thought about how to pass the support department's exam?"

Use this!

As Midoriya spoke, he took out a round ball from his bag and showed it to Fame. On the surface of the ball, he had drawn a large skull pattern, specifically to warn of its danger.

"I used the 'Home-Style Bomb' when fighting the Butcher, and the effect was absolutely outstanding!"

"Uh... it's that super bioweapon you created, the kind that makes your nose sting and your eyes water just from smelling it, and makes you vomit your stomach acid just from getting a little bit in your mouth!"

"It's a 'home-use bomb,' and has nothing to do with dangerous items like biological or chemical weapons."

"I don't think so..." Akira's lips twitched. She had personally witnessed what happened to Midoriya when he was hit by the blast from the bomb. The scene was absolutely horrific!

"Alright... Support Department, you've passed."

Akira recognized Izuku Midoriya's masterpiece. In the Support Department of U.A. High School, unlike other subjects' exams, as long as the candidates can bring the equipment and props they made to the U.A. examiners, if the overall score of creativity, effect, portability, etc. is satisfactory, they will pass the Support Department's exam.

The "family-style bomb," a super-destructive weapon created by Izuku Midoriya, is so cruel that even Akira Hata would be ashamed of herself.

In the research and invention of machinery and mechanisms, Akira Hatsume possesses exceptional talent, as evidenced by the fact that the "Death Gloves" were created by her; and as for Izuku Midoriya, Akira Hatsume's evaluation of him is:

"A genius at creating portable gadgets"

The "steel anchor," "family bomb," and other accessories for the Grim Reaper's Gloves were all developed by Izuku Midoriya himself. Because he wanted to become a hero, Izuku's research focused on how to enhance his combat abilities.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Midoriya has packed up all his belongings and put them at Akira's house. Seeing his resolute appearance, the inventor girl has no idea what Izuku is planning to do.

"Because we can't bring any items into the Hero Course exam, so from now on, I'm going to train my body and combat skills properly!"

Determined to take the Hero Course exam, Izuku Midoriya's next plan is to design a ten-month hellish training program for himself, determined to hone himself into a great talent during this time!

Chapter 21 Bajiquan

What should we do in the next ten months?

This is the focus of Izuku Midoriya's thoughts. In addition to the standard written test, the Hero Course exam at U.A. High School also includes a combat test. Students cannot bring any items into this combat test and must participate solely based on their "Quirk".

"How to do?"

This was the question Midoriya was pondering at the time. Aside from equipment and items, the only advantage he had was his physical attributes, which revealed the only possible path he could take.

"Martial Arts"

The fighting techniques passed down in China across the sea are popular and shining brightly in this superhuman society; although Japan also has similar fighting techniques such as "karate", they are no longer relevant because of the diverse personalities in today's superhuman society and they are no longer suitable for society.

Just like the mud enemy that Midoriya encountered a few days ago, enemies whose bodies are all fluid are basically doomed to die if you use simple grappling, throwing, or slamming techniques. In contrast, fighting techniques that simply possess powerful bursts and lethality are the popular skills that people pursue nowadays.

In this way, Izuku Midoriya's goal became very clear. His physical abilities, which he had trained since childhood, were already the limit he could reach. What he lacked was the fighting skills to fully utilize his strength.

"Let's do it this way..."

Midoriya nodded, having confirmed his next move.

Back home, he mentioned the matter to his mother, Midoriya Inoko, because he couldn't hide the situation from her, but there was no need to conceal it either.

"What, Izuku wants to learn 'martial arts'?"

"Because I'll be going to high school after this semester, I want to try taking the entrance exam for U.A. High School."

While eating, Midoriya sat at the table with his mother and told her about his desire to learn martial arts.

"But...wouldn't this be too strenuous...?"

Midoriya Inoko was somewhat worried about her child's situation. He didn't usually have much fun with friends and focused entirely on his studies. He always got full marks in all subjects, which made her both gratified and heartbroken.

Midoriya Inoko also knew that her child secretly exercised in private, which worried her that Izuku's body might not be able to handle it.
