I, without any personality, become a hero!

Realizing his lapse in composure, Midoriya immediately raised his right hand, in the standard manner of asking if there was a problem.

"Little green-haired one, is there a problem?"

"Voice Hero, are we allowed to bring any items during this exam? Didn't the previous exams say we couldn't use equipment or items?!"

"Looks like a little kid who came prepared, what a pity!" After gesturing for Izuku Midoriya to finish speaking and sit down, Mike said with a regretful expression:

"Considering the diverse personalities of some students, and the fact that some students need equipment and props to perform better, the rule prohibiting the use of equipment and props is hereby repealed starting with this year's exam!"

"Sigh..."

Izuku Midoriya looked utterly hopeless. The other students didn't seem to feel any impact from the rule, but Shinso, who was standing next to Midoriya, felt very sorry for him.

Izuku Midoriya, also known as "Steel Wire Reaper" Kaion Akaya, has a completely different combat power depending on whether he has equipment or not.

Chapter 29 Entrance Examination

"That's so unfair..."

With a sour expression, Izuku Midoriya was surprised to learn that the change to allowing equipment and items in the U.A. High School entrance exam had been announced online a week ago, but since it wasn't a major change, it didn't attract much attention. Izuku was also busy preparing for the exam and didn't have time to keep up with the news.

However, now that things have come to this, there's no way he can go home to get his equipment. Midoriya has made preparations for this exam!

Mike announced the exam rules: eliminate the robots that serve as the hypothetical enemies. This scoring system was adopted, and after learning what the exam items were, Shinso Hitoshi also looked depressed.

Robot imaginary adversaries are completely useless against "brainwashing" personality traits. Despite recently attending training at the Hachijuku Dojo, Shinso's actual combat ability is currently only that of a goose, which is a pity...

Compared to Midoriya and Shinso, Ooshiro was much more confident... After all, he had learned martial arts from his father for so many years, and with his physical personality, hand-to-hand combat was no problem for him.

There were several exam venues, and U.A. High School randomly assigned the students to their respective exam rooms. Unfortunately, Midoriya, Shinso, and Ooshiro were all scattered in different exam rooms.

Izuku Midoriya arrived at the venue for his exam by taking a bus inside U.A. High School.

"So big..."

Midoriya's mouth twisted slightly. Although he had learned a lot about U.A. High School from the internet, he could only truly understand how wealthy and powerful this best hero school in Japan was after seeing it with his own eyes!

The so-called "simulated street" refers to a square enclosure surrounded by high walls, with the inside having the same street structure as in the city, and it is about the size of the entire school, Oriji Middle School, which Izuku used to attend.

And after hearing what "Voice Hero" Mike said about how there were several exam venues of this size, Midoriya finally understood what the best hero school in all of Japan was like.

After the test takers got off the bus, some, like Izuku, were shocked by U.A.'s wealth; some were under pressure before the test; and others were full of confidence...

"What are you still spacing out for? There's no countdown in the real-world test, so get running! Get running!!"

When Mike suddenly shouted this over the loudspeaker, the candidates were stunned for a moment... and then spurred their horses and rushed into the examination hall!

"This is outrageous!!"

Izuku Midoriya, who was charging ahead, had physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people due to his long-term training. At the same time, there was another person sprinting ahead, even surpassing Izuku's speed. He was a boy wearing glasses, whose Quirk seemed to be a propelling engine.

After running into the venue, the simulated streets were filled with all sorts of robots. Midoriya glanced at them... and thought, "This will do!"

The robot's hypothetical enemies are mostly 2 to 3 meters in size. For stability, they are all tracked or multi-legged designs, and cameras are used to lock onto people.

Without hesitation, Izuku Midoriya charged straight toward a robot imaginary enemy.

"Accelerate and increase the impact force..."

He silently recited the secret that Master Ooshiro had told him, the technique that would allow Midoriya's middle school physique to unleash its full power.

"Aim at the enemy's weak points..."

As he rushed forward at top speed, Midoriya aimed at the position where the robot enemy was most likely to fall over due to the force of the impact!

"Attack with all your might!"

The violent collision caused Izuku Midoriya's "Iron Mountain Lean," which he had diligently honed over ten months, to slam into the robot's simulated enemy. The robot's armor dented significantly, and it crashed to the ground, sending parts flying everywhere.

"it is good!"

Happy that he had successfully defeated his imaginary enemy, Midoriya clutched his right arm in pain. After all, it was a collision between flesh and steel, and it was impossible not to feel a reaction force.

"Next....."

There was no time to dawdle. Izuku Midoriya didn't hesitate to find his next robot adversary target. This was an exam he had to give it his all for.

Ten minutes isn't a long time, and Midoriya managed to defeat only a few simulated enemies despite his best efforts. Just then, a loud noise suddenly shook the entire simulated street.

"What's going on!?"

In Midoriya's terrified gaze, a giant robot, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared, and the buildings on the street were crushed like building blocks.

"Is this the zero-score imaginary enemy that 'Voice Hero' was talking about...?"

Seeing the towering skyscrapers before him, and the gigantic imaginary enemy that seemed to crumble like building blocks, Midoriya recalled Michael mentioning four types of imaginary enemies. Clearly, this giant robot was the missing, zero-point imaginary enemy...

I turned around, ran, and took off running!

Fighting this kind of monster? Are you kidding me?!

Izuku Midoriya was so terrified he was practically sweating profusely. Even with his gloves, he was no match for this gigantic imaginary enemy...

"it hurts...."

Hearing a girl's voice behind him, Midoriya turned around and saw the brown-haired girl he had met at the entrance of U.A. High School.

It appears that a giant robot has appeared and caused the building to collapse. She is trapped under a pile of rubble, while a giant imaginary enemy is gradually approaching from behind.

Without hesitation, and without even thinking about it, Izuku Midoriya turned around and sprinted forward with all his might.

Recalling what Master Ooshiro had told him, he knew that the Iron Mountain Lean could be used to unleash the strongest impact with his whole body, or to concentrate his power with his elbow.

Just as the giant imaginary enemy was about to trample on the brown-haired girl, Midoriya arrived a step ahead, ready to unleash his "Iron Mountain Lean: Elbow Strike"!

The largest piece of rubble that had been pressing down on the brown-haired girl was knocked away, and Midoriya seized the opportunity to grab her hand and forcefully pull her out of the rubble.

Before the brown-haired girl could react, Izuku Midoriya, without a word, hoisted her onto his back and sprinted away at full speed just as the giant imaginary enemy was about to trample them both!

They ran a long way in one breath, and when the ten-minute exam time was over, the giant imaginary enemy also stopped its rampaging behavior.

"What are U.A. High School doing?! This is too dangerous!!"

Panting heavily, Midoriya was unusually angry. Even though this was the school he wanted to attend, it was really inappropriate to create an exam program that could easily lead to someone's death.

"Um... could you put me down?"

The brown-haired girl being carried on Midoriya's back blushed. Although she had been rescued by Izuku, she felt a little embarrassed being carried like that.

"Ah! I'm sorry!!"

Only then did Midoriya remember that there was someone on his back. He carefully placed the brown-haired girl on the damaged enemy armor next to him, the surface of which was smooth and just right for a person to sit on.

Since the girl with brown hair was trapped under the rubble, Izuku didn't know if her foot was injured.

"Um... thank you!"

"It's okay, didn't you help me at the school gate too?"

Despite Midoriya's words, the brown-haired girl suddenly found herself speechless, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward...

"Um, my name is Uraraka Ochako, could you please tell me your name?"

"Yes, my name is Midoriya Izuku."

The two got to know each other by exchanging names. At this moment, a teacher from U.A. High School, the pro hero "Healer Girl," arrived on the field. Although her hero name is Girl, she is actually a very old woman.

After the exams, the "Healing Girl" treats the injured students in the simulated street in turn; her personality is the kind that accelerates healing.

After Ochako Uraraka's injured leg was healed, Izuku Midoriya also took his leave. He didn't know how Shinso and Ooshiro had done on their exams.

Chapter 30 Entrance Subjects

"How about it?"

"I failed the exam..."

When Izuku Midoriya asked Shinso Hito about the exam after they left the U.A. High School exam hall, Shinso Hito just looked incredibly frustrated, and the outcome was predictable...

"What about you, Ooshiro?"

"I feel pretty good about myself!"

In contrast to Xin Cao's extreme depression, Wei Bai had a big smile on his face, which made it clear that he must have done very well on the exam.

"Midori, how are you?"

"Although I managed to take down a few simulated enemies, I don't think it'll be enough..."

Midoriya's smile was somewhat awkward. Compared to other students taking the exam, Izuku's grades weren't particularly outstanding. If the full score was 100, he would probably have just passed.

"Feel sorry...."

Neither of his companions did very well in their exams, and only Ooshiro Aruto, who did well, felt somewhat sorry for them.

"It's okay, the grades are what I earned myself. I can only blame myself for not trying hard enough..."

Midoriya said with a sense of relief, after all, the result was about what he expected, but one should always try, shouldn't one?

After finishing their exams at U.A. High School, the three of them took the subway home. All they had to do now was wait for news.

“Come and take a look at this student.”

At U.A. High School, a teacher reviewing entrance exam scores noticed a particularly outstanding student and showed the video to the other teachers. The video they were playing was of Izuku Midoriya.

"He's physically very strong; it seems he defeated his imaginary opponent solely through skill."

"Moreover, this child did not hesitate at all when saving the girl. He made accurate and decisive judgments and actions, and rescued the girl without any hesitation."

In U.A. High's exam system, rescuing others also earns a high number of rescue points. After all, a hero's job is not just to defeat enemies, but more importantly, to save people from danger. Midoriya's performance has earned him a lot of rescue points.

Based on the replay of Midoriya's video, the teachers unanimously praised the student, and if the situation is correct, he should be promoted directly to the Hero Course.

"Um, this kid's name is Izuku Midoriya, and he's 'Quirkless'?!"

The teacher, who was very interested in Midoriya's performance, retrieved his information from the registration file, which showed his name and personality record. Unfortunately, Midoriya Izuku was "Quirkless".

The teachers who had just praised Midoriya fell silent. It wasn't that they discriminated against "Quirkless" students, but rather that it was too difficult for a Quirkless student to become a hero!

The Hero Course at U.A. High School employs a very rigorous training method. It can be said that any student who graduates from the Hero Course is a very powerful hero right from their debut. Therefore, U.A. High School carefully selects students who are eligible to enter the Hero Course.

Despite Midoriya's current outstanding performance, from the teachers' perspective, it's unlikely that Midoriya, without a Quirk, will catch up with the other students in the Hero Course in the future, relying solely on his physical abilities.

If we let this child enter the Hero Course now, it might be a form of torture for him in the future... This is the consensus of the teachers at U.A. High.

"Although I feel very sorry for the child, the Hero Course has no choice but to turn him away..."

The teachers regretfully declared Midoriya's performance a failure. They couldn't allow a "quirkless" student to cruelly pursue his dream of becoming a hero, only to end up with nothing but pain and torment.

————————————————————

A week later, Izuku Midoriya received a letter from U.A. High School, which clearly expressed his regret and told him that he had unfortunately failed the exam.

"So that's how it is..."

Midoriya sighed, but he didn't feel disappointed. This was something he had expected. At the same time, Midoriya opened another letter.

It was also a letter from U.A. High School, but this one was an admission notice, and the subject was "Support Department".

After the Hero Course exams at U.A. High School, Izuku Midoriya also took the Support Course exams, and the atmosphere for this course was completely different.

If the entrance exam for the Hero Course is a battlefield, then the entrance exam for the Support Course is a grand gathering of invention fanatics.

When Famei went to take the support department exam, she brought all her equipment, big and small, while Midoriya Izuku was responsible for doing the hard labor.

After the support department teachers reviewed and graded the exam, Akira passed with great ease, and next up was Izuku Midoriya...

Then we see Midoriya very carefully take out his "modified version of the family-style bomb" and very seriously tell the teacher that this thing is dangerous.

The teachers were unimpressed and, during the power test, simply threw Midoriya's "improved version of the family bomb" onto the test field. Midoriya immediately grabbed Akira and fled from the support department exam venue as if his life depended on it.

A large plume of yellow smoke swept in, and those who smelled it collapsed and became paralyzed, foaming at the mouth. Only Midoriya and Akira, who managed to escape in time, survived.

"What have you gotten yourself into this time...?"

"Um... Herring can bomb, it smells so bad it can trigger a person's dizziness mechanism, but it won't cause any other harm to the body, it's a very safe bomb."

"I will never trust your so-called 'safety' again..."

Midoriya has once again created a biological weapon with extremely high destructive power, and this time he has knocked out everyone in the Support Department's exam venue.

Thankfully, Midoriya's design used a smoke bomb, and the stench quickly dissipated, finally relieving the paralyzed support team...

Despite the huge incident Midoriya caused, the teachers in the support department all said that the boy was a talent and that they must recruit him into the support department. For these invention fanatics... as long as your invention can arouse their interest, everything else is a minor matter.
