I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Midori, are you saying you've been exposed?"

"Yes, I was controlled by Shinso's 'brainwashing,' but he's a good person. He promised to keep my secret, so I guess you could say we've made friends."

When Izuku Midoriya's identity as the "Steel Wire Reaper" was discovered, it was a big deal. After returning home, he contacted Akira Hata and told her what had happened.

"Is he a decent person? Midoriya, you need to be careful. What if you get ambushed by someone with ulterior motives again, like this time?"

Akira warned Midoriya in the words of an old woman, and he was indeed a little embarrassed to let him go, after all, he was doing some dangerous things.

After the two finished exchanging information, Famei suddenly remembered something and brought it up:

"Little Green Valley, did you watch the news on TV today?"

"No, what's wrong?"

The inventor girl's sudden question puzzled Midoriya. Had something special happened? However, it was more puzzling that Izuku would watch the news. According to Midoriya's understanding of her routine, she would spend her free time researching inventions and would never waste time watching the news.

"I heard it from my dad at dinner today. When All Might went out to subdue the criminals, there was a new recruit with him. It seems that All Might didn't even have to lift a finger; the new recruit took down all the criminals."

"What!!?"

Izuku Midoriya was greatly surprised. All Might was sending out a mission with new recruits. This was a rare piece of big news!

He quickly checked today's news on his phone, and sure enough, news about Olmet was all over the headlines.

Izuku Midoriya observed carefully. The newcomer was a second-year student in the Hero Course at U.A. High School, currently interning as a probationary hero at Nighteye's Agency. It's worth mentioning that he was mentioned here.

At U.A. High School, first-year students typically learn the skills and experience of being a hero; second-year students further develop their unique abilities and enhance their overall abilities; and third-year students can undertake long-term internships at the Pro Hero Agency.

However, students from all three grades can intern at the Hero Agency as long as they obtain a provisional hero license. The only difference is the time spent studying at school versus the time spent at the agency.

Nighteye Agency?

Midoriya has complete knowledge of All Might's information, and this agency must be the agency run by Nighteye, All Might's former assistant and a pro hero.

All Might used to have an assistant named Nighteye; they worked together for a long time, but for some reason...

A few years ago, All Might and his assistant Nighteye suddenly parted ways. Now All Might is alone as a hero, while Nighteye runs a hero agency.

Midoriya still feels a bit regretful. Although he doesn't know what happened between the two, they solved many major crises when they teamed up.

However, it now seems that All Might and his assistant have reconciled, and news reports have also mentioned this situation. After all, the new person All Might brought this time was an intern at Nighteye Agency.

While Izuku Midoriya is happy that All Might and Nighteye have reconciled, he also has a strange feeling...

The news report was so detailed that All Might, after watching the newcomer defeat all the criminals, greatly encouraged and praised him, and then cooperated with the reporters for an interview after the incident was resolved.

Midoriya subconsciously felt that All Might was deliberately bringing this newcomer along so that he could quickly make a name for himself, as if he were grooming his successor.

"Isn't All Might going to work as a teacher at U.A. High School? He probably wants a great hero to take over after him, right?"

Midoriya nodded confidently. After all, All Might had been involved in hero activities for so many years, it wasn't surprising that he was now considering a successor.

In the end, Midoriya learned the name of this newcomer from the news: Mirio Togata.

"...passing through a million?"

If Izuku remembers correctly, it should be the senior brother of the Bajiquan Dojo he joined, who had just graduated not long ago.

So, does that mean it's the same person? Midoriya was somewhat surprised. He knew that the senior apprentice he had never met had the same strength as the gym leader, and could punch through a 5cm steel plate with just Bajiquan.

"But... I'm so envious of being able to work with All Might!!" This time, Izuku Midoriya was genuinely envious. He had always dreamed of becoming a hero and being able to go on missions with All Might. It was his lifelong wish.

"Then I must work even harder! Once I get into U.A., I can see All Might!!"

Izuku Midoriya was encouraging himself; he had shed countless drops of sweat for this goal.

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

As the weekend approached again, Izuku Midoriya took the subway to the Bajiquan Dojo. He now goes there every week, as he can't slack off on his Bajiquan practice, since the entrance exam for U.A. High School is just around the corner.

"Midori, you're here?"

Upon entering the dojo, they saw the dojo master's son, Ooshiro, practicing with another student. However, due to Izuku's arrival, their sparring stopped.

"You're here just in time. Dad has invited someone unexpected today and hopes to meet you."

"Hey?"

Izuku Midoriya was somewhat surprised. Why would the person invited by the gym owner want to see him?

Without a second thought, Midoriya followed Ooshiro to the back of the dojo, where the dojo master usually received guests.

Once inside, Izuku actually met someone he never expected, the same person he had just seen on the news not long ago.

"Hello, my name is Tongxing Baiwan!"

Chapter 26 Million

"Hello, my name is Tongxing Baiwan!"

A smiling, sunny face greeted Midoriya as he arrived, and she warmly introduced herself to him.

"It's...it's the one who interned with All Might!!"

Overwhelmed with surprise, Izuku Midoriya blurted it out without thinking. Mirio Togata, while not denying it, also corrected him, saying, "He's also your senior."

"I'm sorry..." Midoriya Izuku bowed, realizing that his words had been somewhat impolite without his realizing it.

"It's okay, I don't mind!"

After Midoriya calmed down, he asked the museum owner, who was watching the show with a smile, why Mirio Togata wanted to see him.

"Because he was in the news not long ago, I feel that this kid has finally achieved his dream. So when I congratulated him, I also mentioned that a junior brother with no personality recently joined the team, who is very similar to him in the past!"

The smiling Master Ooshiro has been teaching Bajiquan to Mirio for a long time. He has personally witnessed the boy's hard work to this day, and now that he can act alongside All Might, he has achieved his dream.

"Do I look a lot like Senior Brother Baiwan?"

Midoriya asked with some doubt, as his knowledge of Million Pass was limited to recent news reports, and he knew nothing more about the details.

“I still remember when Million came to me back then…” Master Ooshiro continued, as if recalling the past, “saying that he wanted to be a hero who brings smiles to others in the future, so he needed to work hard to become stronger.”

Without any hesitation, the master of the White Hall revealed the secrets of his disciple, while Mirio Togata stood by with a smile on his face. It was nothing shameful to him, and Mirio was still striving to become a hero!

"I came because I heard about a junior student who has no Quirk and wants to become a hero!"

He gave me a thumbs-up with both hands, praising Izuku Midoriya while also pointing at his own Mirio Togata.

"As the senior brother, you must acknowledge and approve of your junior brother's efforts!"

At this moment, Master Tail White got up and left, intending to take his gossipy son, Tail Monkey, with him.

"You two can talk slowly. There are still some naughty students outside who need guidance."

After the Gym Leader left, Mirio Togata warmly pulled Izuku Midoriya to sit in the Gym Leader's seat, inviting him to sit and talk with him.

"Then can I call you Midoriya? You don't need to be so formal, just call me Mirio."

"Um... Senior Brother Million."

"Just call me Millionaire!"

Mirio Togashi made it unnecessary for Midoriya to be so respectful; he was a very casual person and didn't need to be addressed with respectful titles.

"So... what's it like to operate alongside All Might, Million?!"

Izuku Midoriya, getting straight to the point, asked Mirio Togata, who was standing beside him, with stars in his eyes. This was something Izuku had always dreamed of.

"How do I feel?... With All Might around, the pressure is immense... I almost underperformed!!"

Tongxing Baiwan was in an awkward position. His personality is rather unique, and he needs a calm mind to perform normally. At that time, the pressure was so great that he almost embarrassed himself on the spot.

"Uh...that's true!!"

If Midoriya put himself in the same situation as Mirio, with his most admired hero watching him act, it would be impossible not to feel pressure; it would be comparable to the pressure of taking the college entrance exam.

"But it really is amazing! It feels like the dream I've worked so hard for with All Might has finally come true!!"

Mirio Togata was very happy as he spoke, while Midoriya, standing to the side, was extremely envious. He also really wanted to fight crime with All Might.

"So, you can do it too! Strive to become a hero and work alongside All Might from now on!"

"Um!!"

With the approval of a million people, Izuku Midoriya felt his confidence soar. He was certain that as long as he continued to work hard, he would be fine.

"By the way, Million! What's your personality like?"

Izuku Midoriya is very interested in his senior who is appreciated by All Might, and he is even more interested in "Quirk," which can be said to be the second mark of modern people.

"My personality trait is 'penetration'."

"penetrate?"

Izuku Midoriya was clueless, but Mirio Togata demonstrated his Quirk through his actions.

In Izuku's eyes, Mirio Togata suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and his clothes were scattered all over the ground.

"How about it?"

The face that emerged from the ground was that of Million, who expressed his personality in the simplest way.

"Wow...that's amazing!!"

"Penetration," as the name suggests, is the ability to penetrate any object, and any attack launched against him can be passed through by him.

"Actually, 'Penetration' is quite difficult to use." Mirio, who crawled out of the ground and was putting on his clothes, explained his Quirk to Midoriya.

"The word 'penetrate' is generally used locally. For example, when penetrating a wall, one would first pass one foot through, then the body, and then the other foot."

"I don't quite understand..." Midoriya watched as Mirio Togata's entire body vanished into the ground, and combined with what he said, it seemed like two completely different things.

"Actually, it's like this... After I activated 'Penetration' throughout my body, it felt like I was falling into a dark abyss; it was terrifying."

"Ugh?!"

Seeing Mirio's serious expression as he described the activation of his Quirk, Izuku Midoriya never expected it to be so terrifying!

"Because after my whole body is 'penetrated,' not only walls and the ground, but also air, light, and sound will pass through my body, so it will be like this."

Upon hearing Mirio's explanation, Izuku Midoriya suddenly realized that the effect of penetration is relative. When Mirio penetrates everything, Izuku naturally cannot receive oxygen, images, or sounds.

But...wouldn't that completely shut down the five senses?!

"Then how did you fight, Senior Brother Bai?"

"It's Mirio!" Mirio corrected Midoriya's grammatical error and explained the skill he had worked so hard to master.

"Relying on prediction and extensive practice of one's Quirk, becoming so familiar with activating one's Quirk that it becomes instinctive, is the only way to fight against enemies."

Upon hearing what Mirio Togata said, Izuku Midoriya understood why his senior had come to find him; the two were indeed very similar!

Mirio's Quirk is "Penetration," a dangerous Quirk that, if used improperly, can easily tear him in two. However, through his own hard work and practice, Mirio has fully mastered "Penetration," turning this dangerous Quirk into a powerful force.

Izuku Midoriya is just a Quirkless person, but he still has the goal of becoming a hero and works tirelessly towards it. Quirks are just something that others have more of than you, and you can make up for it by working harder.

The reason Mirio Togata arrived today was simply to tell Midoriya one thing.

"So, Midoriya! Your efforts were worthwhile, and you will definitely become a hero!!"

Seeing Mirio Togata give him a thumbs-up in praise, Izuku Midoriya, who hadn't been able to hold back his tears for a long time, broke down, and a large amount of tears flowed from his eyes, even wetting a patch of the ground.

"Is Midoriya alright? Did I hurt you with my words?!"

The flustered Tongxing Baiwan wondered if his junior brother was a crybaby, as he was practically gushing tears like a tap.

A moment later, the floor was soaked with tears, and Mirio Togata looked utterly helpless. Midoriya wiped his eyes, and the tears had all dried up...

"No problem! Senior Brother Baiwan, I will definitely become a hero!!"

"Ah! I'll be waiting for you at U.A. High School!!"

One is a pioneer who achieved his dream through hard work, and the other is a follower who is striving to catch up with his dream. The two met here.

Chapter 27 All Might's Successor

A lot has happened recently. Izuku Midoriya's disguise was first exposed by Shinso Hitoshi, and later the two became good friends after exchanging ideas.

Later, he met Mirio Togata, a senior at U.A. High School, who encouraged and praised Midoriya for his efforts and believed that Izuku would definitely become a hero.

After that, Izuku Midoriya's daily life basically settled down. In addition to his daily training, he also had two people he contacted regularly: Mirio Togata and Shinso Hitoshi.

After exchanging contact information with Mirio last time, Midoriya can not only ask his senior brother about any questions he has about Bajiquan, but he can also learn about his experiences working with All Might from him.
