I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Amazing! Our next mission is to assist these two from Nighteye Agency in arresting the 'Hero Killer'."

"Hey?!"

Iida Tenya was greatly surprised. Although his original goal was also to find the Hero Killer, he did not expect that Midoriya would also come here. And was the mission of his agency to capture the Hero Killer?

The cooperation with the hero agency is similar to how Nighteye Agency receives a mission. After arriving in Hosu City, Mirio can have the local hero agency cooperate with him to complete the mission, and the subsequent rewards will be shared accordingly.

In this fiercely competitive hero society, while competition among peers is important, cooperation is even more crucial in sending those despicable enemies to prison.

"I didn't expect your mission to be like this, Midoriya...."

"Iida-kun?"

Seeing the slight disappointment on Iida Tenya's face, Midoriya fell into thought... This usually earnest and kind-hearted classmate must be in great pain right now, because his most admired older brother was brutally murdered by the "Hero Killer"... Is he planning to take revenge on him personally?

"Iida-kun!"

Midoriya placed his fist in front of Iida Tenya and spoke earnestly in a deep voice:

"Bring the hero killer to justice! That would be the act of a great hero, and your brother 'Ingnim' would be very pleased."

"........"

Iida remained silent, but seeing Midoriya still holding his fist out in front of him, he wondered if Midoriya didn't want him to do anything foolish...

"Hmm—arrest the 'Hero Killer' and bring him to justice!"

Their fists collided, and Iida agreed to Midoriya's request to face his enemy as a hero.

After that, the hero team began a detailed search of Hosu City.

Because Midoriya wasted a lot of time changing clothes on his way to Nighteye's office, and the journey to Hosu City also took a long time, it is getting dark now.

On the top floor of a tall building, a black mist suddenly appeared, and a man with bandages wrapped around his face emerged from it. He had been invited by the League of Villains, but in the end, he discovered that the so-called League of Villains was just a bunch of guys playing childish tricks.

"I must purge these imposter heroes!"

"Hero Killer" Stein has appeared!

Chapter 70 Hero Killer

"Hero Killer" Stein, a vicious criminal, murdered a total of 17 heroes and rendered 23 heroes unable to continue their heroic activities. He did not kill civilians or police officers; all those he harmed were professional heroes, and no one knows why he did it.

Although the motives of the "Hero Killer" are unknown, Stain is undoubtedly a very dangerous enemy based on the situation so far. Therefore, the police have commissioned Nighteye Agency to help the hero arrest this vicious enemy who has committed crimes everywhere.

According to the intelligence provided by the police, the city where the "Hero Killer" had recently appeared was Hosu City, so Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya came here.

"It's almost dark, and we haven't found a single clue..."

"Don't let your guard down. Darkness is when the enemy will strike. Stay alert!"

After searching Hosu City for half the afternoon, the heroes didn't even see a trace of the Hero Killer. But then Midoriya thought about it and realized that if the enemy were really so stupid as to swagger right up to the heroes, they would have been beaten half to death long ago.

"Million-senpai, and Midoriya too, here you go!"

Wearing an armor-like hero uniform, Tenya Iida handed the two the fruit juice and soda he had bought. After a fruitless patrol for most of the day, they were exhausted and their throats were parched.

"Thank you, I won't be polite!"

Mirio Togata, completely uninhibited, immediately opened the can of soda and poured it into his mouth. Midoriya, after thanking Iida, was about to drink his soda as well.

With a loud thud, Mirio Togata slammed Midoriya and Iida to the ground with both hands, while a winged monster darted past where their heads had just been.

Midoriya and Iida ducked to safety, while Mirio Togata's body passed straight through the void, the monster's claws piercing right through him.

"What's going on? -- Wait, that's a Nomu!?"

Izuku Midoriya hurriedly looked up and saw the winged monster that had just swept over their heads. It looked very similar to the Nomu from the League of Villains that had invaded the USJ training ground, except that it had a pair of wings and sharp claws.

At the same time, Izuku Midoriya saw flames and black smoke rising from buildings not far away, along with cries for help from the crowd—a typical disaster scene.

"You two focus on evacuating and protecting the people, I'll deal with the enemy!"

Before Midoriya and Iida could say anything, Mirio Togata rushed toward the disaster site with a serious expression, a stark contrast to his usual humorous demeanor.

"Green Valley!"

"Ok!"

The two exchanged a glance and quickly sprang into action. This was no time to stand around doing nothing; the winged Nomu was clearly a tactic employed by the League of Villains, and the safety of the citizens had to be ensured first.

Just as they were about to catch up with the two who were walking at a speed of millions, they suddenly heard a scream coming from a nearby alley. Midoriya and Iida immediately stopped in their tracks.

"The situation has changed. I'll play forward, and you wait and see what happens!"

"understand!"

Midoriya gave a decisive instruction, and Iida clearly followed his advice. In the hero basics class at U.A. High School, students were taught how to deal with emergencies.

In situations where the situation is unclear, if two people are acting together, the one with stronger self-defense capabilities should scout out the situation, while the one with better mobility should follow behind. If the situation becomes unmanageable, the person in front should stall for time, while the person behind should immediately notify other professional heroes.

Gripping the smoke grenade tightly, Midoriya steered "King of Storms" into a rapid drift and braked into the alley, only to find a pro hero leaning against a wall, while a man with bandages wrapped around his face slowly approached with a sharp blade in his hand.

"Hero Killer!!"

The situation was unexpected. No sooner had Mirio Togata left than he encountered the "Hero Killer." Midoriya was utterly astonished by the current predicament.

"Oh? Another new hero has arrived!?"

"Run! You're no match for him!!"

With a terrifying smile on his face, "Hero Killer" stared intently at Izuku Midoriya. The pro hero, who was leaning against the wall, hurriedly tried to dissuade Midoriya, as he himself had been injured by Hero Killer at first sight and was now unable to move due to his "Quirk".

"This is troublesome..."

With his eyes fixed on the hero assassin before him, Izuku Midoriya quietly placed his hands behind his back and gestured to Tenya Iida, who was hiding behind him.

Iida Tenya, whose eyes were also bloodshot and red, saw the bastard who had harmed his brother right in front of him and almost couldn't resist rushing out to kill him, but...

Izuku Midoriya had told him not long ago that he should become an outstanding hero... a hero that would make his brother proud.

Iida tried his best to rationally suppress his anger. He looked at the hand gesture that Izuku Midoriya was making behind him, and he understood the meaning of this gesture from the hero knowledge he had learned at U.A. High School.

"Saving lives"

Suppressing his anger, Iida clenched his fists and waited for Midoriya's action. He would rush forward as soon as Midoriya gave the order. Iida's mission was to rescue the injured and immobile pro hero.

"What tricks are you trying to pull? I've spotted the little mouse hiding behind you."

"We've been discovered!!"

Stain, the "Hero Killer," smiled arrogantly, while Midoriya and Tenya Iida, who was hiding behind him, were suddenly startled. The enemy had discovered their presence.

"That's too conspicuous. Is this all there is to heroes these days?"

"hateful!!"

The mockery of the Hero Killer, and Iida Tenya, unable to contain his anger, rushed forward. His attempt to charge was immediately stopped by Midoriya, but Iida still roared:

"You bastard! Why did you kill a pro hero? Because of you, my brother Ingnim can no longer perform heroic deeds!"

"Oh? You mean you've come here to seek revenge on me?!"

After hearing Iida's words, the Hero Killer revealed a ferocious smile that chilled everyone to the bone.

"You bastard!!"

"Don't get angry at his words, calm down!"

Iida Tenya, who couldn't resist rushing forward, was quickly pulled back by Midoriya Izuku. This "hero killer" in front of them was no ordinary character. So many heroes had been killed by him, which meant that the enemy's strength was extraordinary.

"Hey kid, you look familiar."

"........."

Izuku Midoriya's rational behavior in every aspect made the hero assassin scrutinize the black-haired boy in front of him very carefully, and at the same time, he felt that Izuku Midoriya's face looked very familiar.

"I remember now, aren't you the champion who won the U.A. Games?"

The "Death Gauntlet" on Midoriya's hands and the "King of Storms" on his feet were too conspicuous. Hero Killer recognized him at a glance, while Stain stared intently at Midoriya Izuku.

"I remember your nickname was 'Steel Wire Reaper,' right?"

"It's 'Akatani Kaiun,' remember that!"

Izuku Midoriya protested, not wanting to be called a title by this bastard in front of him. But the Hero Killer burst into laughter, saying with a maniacal laugh:

"Akatani Kaiun?"

"You're just like me!"

Chapter 71 Stein

"I'm nothing like you!"

Responding to the Hero Killer's words, Midoriya's mind raced as he devised his next plan. At the same time, he held onto Tenya Iida, who was about to rush forward, tightly. He needed to stay calm at this moment.

"Is that so?" Hero Killer grinned at Midoriya's answer, staring at the black-haired boy before him, and said with a smile:

"The 'Werewolf Incident,' the 'Butcher Incident,' the 'Sludge Incident'... Why would someone who isn't a hero do these things?"

The incidents cited by "Hero Killer" Stain were all things that Midoriya experienced before he entered U.A. High School, when he was known as "Steel Wire Reaper" Akaya Kaiun. Later, these events were reported by the media, which made the name "Steel Wire Reaper" famous.

"If we see it, then we must do it!"

"Hahaha!!"

Izuku Midoriya gave a resolute and unwavering answer, which made the Hero Killer burst into laughter, and made Iida, who was standing nearby, want to rush up and punish this enemy who had harmed his brother.

"You're just like me, aren't you! Did you become a hero because of your meddlesome nature?"

"........."

Midoriya frowned, conflicted by the Hero Killer's questioning attitude. He couldn't fathom the enemy's thoughts at all, but now was not the time to waste words with him.

With his left hand, he threw a smoke grenade to the ground, while with his right hand, the steel wire of the "Grim Reaper's Glove" swept towards the immobilized professional hero in the corner. These two actions were completed in an instant.

In an instant, white smoke covered the entire alley. Midoriya pulled back the pro hero who was being entangled in steel wire with his right hand, obscuring the hero killer's vision and completing the rescue operation at the same time.

Midoriya's carefully considered plan prioritizes getting the injured out of danger in the current situation.

"It's all alright now! Why? Because I'm here!!"

All Might's entrance line is heard amidst the smoke. The full name of the smoke bomb is "All Might Smoke Bomb," and it is a very useful tool for Midoriya during the USJ League of Villains invasion.

"Shouldn't this make the 'hero killer' wary?"

As Midoriya was thinking this, he dragged the injured pro hero in front of him. Izuku grabbed Iida Tenya with his other hand and quickly pulled him back, still too shocked by the sudden turn of events to react.

What seemed like a long action actually took Midoriya only three seconds to complete. He dragged the pro hero to his side, used a smoke grenade to cover his vision, and at the same time pulled Iida Tenya away. Now was not the time to confront the "hero killer" head-on.

However, at this moment, Midoriya, who was preparing to retreat, felt a chill run down his spine. He became very alert and pulled out the "steel anchor" from his waist and threw it forward. The sound of steel colliding rang out in mid-air.

Sparks flew from the wiping, a piercing metallic clang rang out, and at the same time, a sharp blade and a "steel anchor" fell to the ground.

"Oh—you're very quick-witted!"

The "Hero Killer" slowly emerged from the smoke, bent down to pick up the blade again, and habitually licked it with his tongue. He then spoke to Midoriya, who was preparing to flee:

"If you think you can get away with such a little trick, you're underestimating me."

"Have they found out...?"

Midoriya, feeling that the enemy before him was very troublesome, created the "All Might Smoke Bomb". Whether it was a hero or an enemy, they would be shocked and stunned for more than ten seconds when they first saw its effect. But did the "Hero Killer" see through the true nature of his smoke bomb?

"There are only the four of us alive here; All Might isn't here."

"Tsk..."

Midoriya was stunned. Only then did he recall the situation when Iida Tenya was discovered. Could the "Hero Killer" in front of him sense how many people were in the range just by his aura?

"Iida-kun... could you take him away from here first?"

Pointing at the injured professional hero who had been dragged back to his side by the steel wire, Izuku Midoriya kept his eyes glued to the Hero Killer, preventing him from making any further moves.

"But Midoriya! Wouldn't it be perfect to capture the Hero Killer now?!"

"Never forget your duty, Tenzai! You are a hero now!!"

Iida Tenya, blinded by hatred, was unwilling to leave, but Midoriya scolded him angrily, saying that now was not the time to consider personal feelings.

"Seventeen heroes were killed, and 23 heroes can no longer carry on their heroic activities. Do you understand what I mean?"

Midoriya, staring intently at the "Hero Killer," spoke not only to the Hero Killer before him but also to Iida Tenya beside him.
