I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Thanks......."

"what?"

Just as Midoriya was wondering if he had misheard, Bakugo had already turned around and strode away quickly, giving him no chance to ask clearly.

"He just... said 'thank you'?"

Deku, convinced he hadn't misheard, had indeed heard Bakugo Katsuki say "thank you." It couldn't be his imagination, could it?

"Damn it, Izuku! Let him off this time! He'll be sorry next time!!"

Bakugo, gritting his teeth, looked to onlookers as if he had some deep-seated grudge against Izuku Midoriya.

After the semi-finals, the upcoming U.A. Sports Games finals will be the tournament to determine who will be the champion.

The two facing off are Shoto Todoroki and Izuku Midoriya.

After the match between Midoriya and Bakugo, the players will have half an hour to recover their stamina or go to the "Healing Lady" to heal their injuries. After all, to ensure a fair and just competition, the players' condition is also very important.

Therefore, Midoriya went to the infirmary, where he happened to run into All Might.

"Congratulations, Midoriya! You've made it to the finals!"

"Okay, next up is the duel with Todoroki."

Midoriya, while having his injuries treated by the "Healing Girl," chatted with All Might, knowing that many people were watching his performance at the sports meet.

"Speaking of which, Todoroki is quite pitiful..."

"Sigh! Why do you say that? I can't see anything wrong with Todoroki at all?"

Izuku Midoriya, who frequently visits Class A of the Hero Course, can't say he's friends with everyone, but they're all quite familiar with each other. Midoriya learns that Shoto Todoroki is one of the strongest members of Class A, with outstanding academic performance, an enviablely powerful Quirk... and he's even handsome!

It's fair to say that Todoroki Shoto is a protagonist in every role, but now Midoriya hears words of sympathy from All Might, saying that Todoroki is pitiful... To be honest, Midoriya thinks he is more pitiful.

"The main target is this kid, a tool created by his father... Is he trying to surpass me...?"

A deeply troubled All Might bumped into Endeavor at the sports meet and learned about Shoto Todoroki's situation and the boy's tragic past, but All Might was powerless to help...

As the number one hero, All Might felt deeply saddened that he couldn't help a young boy resolve his inner conflict.

"After all, Endeavor, who is number 2, must be feeling very sad. This kid has spent his whole life chasing after you. The pressure you put on him is too great."

Hearing All Might say that, the "Healing Girl" who was healing Midoriya chimed in, saying that she was now at the age of an old lady, and that when All Might and Endeavor were in U.A. High School, the "Healing Girl" was a famous and beautiful teacher at U.A. High School.

"But... as a father, to place the pressure on the child, that bastard, I really wanted to beat him up back then."

"Uh... what's going on...?"

Upon hearing that there seemed to be some conflict between All Might and Endeavor, Izuku Midoriya, who was standing to the side, felt quite embarrassed. As a hero fan, he really didn't want to hear such negative information.

As if complaining, All Might casually told Izuku Midoriya about Shoto Todoroki, which could be considered as helping him understand the opponent he was about to face.

"In short, Endeavor has gone too far. Whether as the No. 1 hero or Todoroki's teacher, I cannot stand idly by!"

"Uh... All Might, what do you want to do?!"

"It just so happens that Endeavor is at the sports meet too. After the competition, let's go beat him up and make him apologize to Todoroki!"

He transformed from a frail physique into the heroic All Might, complete with his signature smile and thumbs-up, before Izuku Midoriya, making the decision to become the strongest hero!

"As a hero and a teacher, All Might is responsible for mediating family conflicts!"

"I think... Allmight, you're going to cause a lot of trouble by doing this..."

Hearing All Might's words, Midoriya looked helpless... If All Might really did that, tomorrow there would be nationwide news, with headlines like, "Shocking! All Might and Endeavor clash, is this the end of hero society?!"

After some persuasion, the strongest hero was convinced to abandon his absurd plan. The "Healing Lady" delivered a powerful blow to All Might's brain, giving him a chance to calm down...

Izuku Midoriya emerged from the infirmary with a troubled expression; he hadn't expected something like this to happen...

Contrary to his own dream of becoming a hero despite lacking a quirk, was Todoroki deliberately created by his father as a tool to surpass No. 1 and become a hero? That's really going too far!

"Midori?"

"Ah, Todoroki?!"

On the way to the ring, Izuku Midoriya bumped into Shoto Todoroki, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's unclear.

"I won't hold back in the upcoming final."

As if it were a declaration of war on the surface, Todoroki Shoto told Midoriya Izuku this.

"Are you going to use your Burning Quirk, Todoroki!?"

"No......."

Midoriya's casual question caused Todoroki Shoto to fall silent. He deeply resented his father and hated his own Burning Quirk.

"Then why did you say you 'wouldn't hold back'? Aren't you prepared to go all out?!"

"That's enough, I don't want to say anything more to you..."

Midoriya's words seemed to hit Todoroki's sore spot, and he turned and left, heading towards the sports field.

"Is it......"

As if he had made up his mind, Izuku Midoriya, just as All Might had said, knew that Shoto Todoroki needed someone to help him... and he probably had that opportunity.

Chapter 58 The Finals: Midoriya vs. Todoroki

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final competition of U.A. High School has begun! Who will emerge victorious and become the champion? Let's wait and see!"

"With his overwhelming strength, can Shoto Todoroki from Class A of the Hero Course win this match and claim the championship?"

"Izuku Midoriya from the Support Department, who has no Quirk and only relied on his equipment and items to make it to the finals, can he create another miracle this time?"

"The grand finale is about to begin, so please keep your eyes peeled!!"

As "Voice Hero" Mike loudly explained and introduced the games, the cheers of the audience reached a fever pitch, and the footage of the games was broadcast to televisions in every household through the media.

"Izuku!!"

At home, Inoko Midoriya watched her son, who had just reached the finals, glued to the television. Tears streamed down her face. She couldn't believe he had achieved such a feat; she felt a mix of pride, excitement, and heartache...

"This Izuku Midoriya must be the 'Steel Wire Reaper,' right?"

"Regarding the news about the 'Werewolf Incident,' some people interviewed mentioned rumors that the 'Steel Wire Reaper' seemed to be green-haired."

"According to information online, the Steel Wire Reaper always wears black gloves, so it should be him!"

............

.....................

After the battle between Midoriya and Bakugo, enthusiastic viewers began digging into information about the "Steel Wire Reaper," and eventually, after matching Midoriya Izuku's characteristics, it was confirmed that Midoriya Izuku was indeed the "Steel Wire Reaper."

"Is Midoriya-kun the 'Steel Wire Reaper'?"

"Sigh, it's really true!?"

"Well, after all, I made all the equipment. Little Midoriya even has a disguised name; the 'Steel Wire Reaper' is called 'Akatani Kaiun'!"

After Midoriya's disguise was exposed in the last game, Ochako and Yuu took it to heart. However, Midoriya went to the infirmary to find the "healing lady" at the time, so the two girls went to ask Akira Hata for help. The gloves on Midoriya's hands should have been made by her, right?

When Ochako and Yuu Gakuyama heard about the efforts Izuku Midoriya had made to train himself, they felt a pang of sadness. What they took for granted as "Quirk" was a miracle that Midoriya envied. To make up for his own shortcomings... so he had never stopped working on it since childhood?

"That bastard Izuku, if you beat me, don't lose to that two-faced guy!"

Sitting in the audience, with his arms crossed, Katsuki Bakugo muttered to himself through gritted teeth. The Class A students next to him looked at him curiously. This guy actually cheers for someone?!

The audience was engaged in their usual antics, while classmates and friends were paying close attention. Meanwhile, the two fighters on the ring, the center of attention, were ready to go.

"Izuku Midoriya VS Shoto Todoroki, 3-2-1!"

"The match begins!!"

The referee's midnight announcement signaled the imminent crowning of the U.A. Sports Games champion. Everyone wanted to know who would emerge victorious.

"Green Valley..."

"Boom!"

The two opponents, respecting each other, addressed each other by name, and the decisive final match began!

At the same time, the two attacked together. Izuku Midoriya's steel wire swept directly towards Shoto Todoroki, a probing attack regardless of whether it would be effective.

With a thud, he stomped on the ground, and the frost path rapidly spread towards Izuku Midoriya. At the same time, he waved his left hand, and an ice wall rose up in front of him.

The steel wire bounced off the ice wall, and at the same time, Midoriya accelerated with the "King of Storms" on his feet, leaving his original position to avoid Todoroki's freezing attack.

In the first round of probing attacks, neither of them inflicted any real damage on their opponent, but both knew that their opponent was very troublesome.

Izuku Midoriya's equipment, including his rocket backpack and arm thrusters, was damaged during his battle with Bakugo. He is now only wearing the "King of Storms" and the "Death Gauntlets," which are the equipment he is most familiar with and the most powerful. He is undoubtedly going all out this time.

Todoroki's Quirk is "half cold, half burning." Although he dislikes the "burning" Quirk and doesn't intend to use fire, Todoroki's freezing Quirk is terrifyingly powerful. When used at full power, it can freeze half of the arena, creating a giant iceberg tens of meters high. It can be said that most pro heroes are not as powerful as him.

Then, the two clashed again. This time, Izuku Midoriya directly used "King of Storms" to rush close to Shoto Todoroki, while his steel wire was ready to wrap and bind his opponent.

Midoriya was fast, but Todoroki's reaction was also very timely. He immediately released an ice trap, a barrier of ice within a five-meter radius around him that would instantly freeze anyone who touched it. Yaoyorozu was eliminated by this move, and Ooshiro was also killed by Todoroki because he dared not get close to him.

Izuku Midoriya is very skilled in close combat. Todoroki learned this from his fight with Tenya Iida, and also heard that Midoriya was learning at the dojo of Oshiro's family. Shinso Hitoshi and Oshiro Sarufumi's amazing close combat performance in the ring made Todoroki realize one thing: he absolutely must not let Izuku Midoriya get close!

Despite Todoroki's extensive training and his knowledge of close combat, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to hold out for more than a few seconds against this group of people who had learned Bajiquan.

The freezing traps released by Todoroki will freeze anyone who touches them, but this is no problem for Izuku Midoriya. He not only possesses the "King of Storms", but also the steel wire in his hand, which is his main means of attack.

As Midoriya approached Todoroki, the steel wire in his hand swept towards him again. Because of the close proximity, the ice wall that Todoroki had just created could not protect him, and the steel wire wrapped straight around him from the other side.

However, this steel wire attack was useless against Todoroki. He waved his left hand again, and several ice walls surrounded and enveloped his entire body, making him as impenetrable as an ice fortress. Todoroki responded perfectly in time. He didn't think Midoriya's steel wire could possibly drill a hole and get in.

While steel wire cannot be drilled, it can be wrapped around. The defensive measures taken by the bombardment gave Midoriya Izuku an opening to exploit. He swung his right hand again, and the steel wire changed accordingly. The steel wire that bombarded the bombardment directly wrapped around the ice wall he had just created, and the point of force was ready!

Midoriya leaped off the ground, simultaneously retracting the steel wire on his glove, and charged directly at Shoto Todoroki.

The freezing trap must be covered on the ground, so it will not be triggered as long as it does not touch the ground. Using the force of the steel wire, Midoriya is lifted off the ground and crashes into the ground.

"There's an ice barrier... Wait, something's not right!?"

Just as he was thinking about how he was protected by the ice fortress, he suddenly became very wary. If Midoriya dared to do this, then he must have some confidence. Could it be that...?

Bajiquan: Iron Mountain Lean!

In the blink of an eye, Midoriya, pulled off the ground by the steel wire and slammed into Todoroki Shoto, adjusted his posture in mid-air and unleashed his prepared technique.

During the entrance exam, Izuku Midoriya's "Iron Mountain Lean" was even able to knock down the robot enemy, and facing the not-too-thick ice fortress was just a matter of a single move!

"Oops!!"

In an instant, the ice fortress was shattered, and Shoto Todoroki used the Frost Path to escape at the last second.

"You really can't let your guard down, Midoriya!"

"Your reaction was pretty quick too, Todoroki!"

Standing inside the shattered ice fortress, Midoriya Izuku's freezing traps, which he had released, lost their effect after being blasted away from his original position; now it was just an ordinary layer of ice.

Chapter 59 The Grand Finals: The Doubles' Ultimate Move

"That's amazing! These two students are evenly matched. Their battle from the very beginning has been evenly matched."

Mike provided live commentary, while the audience and other students watched the fight on the ring with tense expressions. The match was incredibly exciting from the very beginning.

On the arena, the distance between Todoroki and Midoriya widened again. Todoroki kept the fact that he couldn't fight Midoriya in close combat firmly in mind, and while retreating, he launched various freezing attacks at Midoriya.

Because he was busy dodging Todoroki's attacks, Midoriya was unable to pursue him. After Todoroki released several glacier spikes to interfere with Midoriya, he successfully kept himself and Midoriya at a safe distance.

"You don't dare let me get close...?"

"Ah! That's right!"

"I saw clearly the defeats of Iida, Kaminari, and Tokoyami, and I won't make that mistake."

Todoroki's unwavering vigilance made it very difficult for Izuku Midoriya. Todoroki could create ice barriers to block the long-range attacks of the steel wires, while Izuku could only awkwardly dodge Todoroki's attacks. The only chance of victory was to get close to Todoroki and defeat his opponent.

"I feel like Midoriya is having a lot of trouble with Todoroki. He's quite good at controlling him in every way."

In the audience, Class A student Tokiyama Fumikage commented on the scene on the stage, while the sullen-faced Sero Hanta chimed in with a gloomy expression:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Putting aside his overpowered Quirk, Midoriya's fighting style using steel wires is actually quite similar to mine. It's suited to environments with complex buildings, and it's impossible to move around on a flat surface like a fighting ring!"

Soy Sauce Face's words resonated with the other classmates. Sero was indeed very strong. If it weren't for the fact that the arena was a terrain that prevented him from fully utilizing his strengths, and that Todoroki Shoto was inherently unreasonable in his strength, Sero Hanta would have had a lot of opportunities to shine.
