I, without any personality, become a hero!

"...What's this?"

"I just finished setting up the baby's last steps, and I haven't had time to clean it yet."

Faming laughed heartily; she was also wearing work clothes, which were covered in various paint stains.

"Speaking of which, Midoriya went to get his equipment. What is he planning to use to fight that robot this time?"

Yue Shan asked curiously, while Fa Muming mysteriously told everyone:

"This is a baby that they created together with Midoriya, it took a lot of time and effort."

"Even though I know you mean equipment or items by 'baby,' I still feel really annoyed..."

Yue Shanyou helplessly covered his forehead with his hand, while Ochako nodded in agreement, saying that it was really too much for Hatsume Akira to take advantage of him verbally.

"By the way, Akira just said that Ayane-senpai is the 'Invention Queen' of the third year. Is she really that good?"

"It's not that we're strong, it's that we're amazing at inventing and creating!"

Correcting Uraraka Ochako's slip of the tongue, Akira Hatsume, unusually serious, said:

"The 'zero-point imaginary enemy' in the entrance exam and sports meet is actually a mass-produced creation of the radiant senior."

"well!!!!"

Ochako exclaimed in surprise. She naturally remembered the "0-point imaginary enemy" she encountered during the entrance exam. Let alone fighting him, she didn't even have time to escape before being buried under the rubble.

"Is that so? The upperclassmen are really not to be underestimated!"

Katsuki Bakugo also had a furrowed brow. He had been unable to deal with the giant robot during the entrance exam, never expecting it to be a mass-produced product created by that flamboyant upperclassman.

"...Won't Midoriya be in a lot of trouble then?"

Shoto Todoroki looked slightly worried, while Akira Hata confidently patted his chest and said:

"Of course, they won't give up so easily. This time, we're doing this to prepare for the final exams. Midoriya and I have put our inventions to the best of our ability!"

Author's note: The "0-point imaginary enemy" thing was something I made up; it didn't exist in the original work.

Chapter 85 Midoriya's Inventions and Creations

"Akira, what did you guys make this time?"

Yue Shanyou was very curious. Last time she came, she saw her and Midoriya working hard. In order to avoid being captured and forced to work as laborers, the two girls quietly left. So she didn't know what Midoriya and the others were making.

"Little Midoriya is here! See for yourselves!"

Upon hearing Faming's answer, everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, where a person wearing full mechanical armor was standing. Because of the mechanical helmet on their head, their appearance was completely obscured.

"...Midori-kun?"

As Yue Shanyou hesitated and called out, the person dressed in full mechanical armor took off his helmet, revealing himself to be Midoriya Izuku.

"Wow—! It looks just like Iida-san's hero outfit. Do boys like this kind of costume?"

Ochako Uraraka exclaimed in surprise, while Iida simply adjusted his glasses without saying a word. His hero uniform was made in the style of his older brother "Ingnum," a set of Western-style knight armor.

"This is a bit unexpected. I thought Midoriya's new invention would be a portable gadget or something."

Shoto Todoroki, who was deep in thought, had learned a bit about Izuku Midoriya during this time. He understood that Izuku's fighting style mainly relied on steel wire, supplemented by various practical tools. However, this time was somewhat unexpected.

"Tch! This flashy but impractical thing can be easily destroyed by a single explosion!"

Despite his stubbornness, Bakugo Katsuki was still very interested in Izuku Midoriya's new equipment. The reason he lost to Midoriya at the sports meet was because he lacked understanding of the functions of the equipment.

"That outfit is really cool, Midoriya-kun!"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya appear fully armed, Mirio Togata also ran over and quietly asked, with his hands behind his back:

"What are the functions of the new equipment? Could you please tell us?"

"Actually, it's not a secret, Senior Million, you don't need to act like this..."

Although Mirio was curious and didn't want to reveal the function of his new equipment by sneaking around asking, it wasn't actually a big secret, so Midoriya just told everyone:

"The mechanical armor on the upper body is largely thanks to the help of Faming. She modified it using a rocket backpack and arm thrusters... The armor has jet vents on the chest that can be used for reverse thrust."

"That's right, the upper body of this armor is all my work, but the leg armor below the waist was made entirely by Midoriya himself!"

"Oh, is that really how it is?!"

Ochako Uraraka exclaimed in surprise. She knew that Izuku Midoriya was very good at making small gadgets, but she did not expect that he also had the technology to make drive equipment.

"I'm sorry you had to see this..."

Midoriya scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He had never made this kind of thing before, mainly due to a lack of funds. He usually scavenged for decent parts in electrical junkyards, making it impossible for him to support any sophisticated manufacturing.

Now all materials from the Support Department of U.A. High School can be applied for and used. Izuku Midoriya had this idea a long time ago, and after enrolling, he gradually started making them. Finally, in the lead-up to the "Equipment and Item Appreciation Contest" at midterms, he and Akira worked overtime to finish them.

"Midori-kun, what kind of function does the leg armor you made have?"

Yue Shanyou immediately asked out of curiosity, showing great interest in the equipment that Midoriya had personally crafted.

"Driven by the upper body armor of Faming, the leg armor I created is geared towards offense, primarily designed with 'Imaginary Enemy No. 0' as the primary opponent."

As Midoriya was explaining, the third-year support science student, Ayanosaki, stood in front of him and said in an exaggeratedly blunt manner:

"The 'Number Zero Imaginary Enemy' is also my masterpiece~ Hehehehe!"

"Unfortunately, the principal won't allow me to have my appearance made to look like 'Radiant Number One'!"

"What an utterly unglamorous failure!!"

After listening to Ayano-saki's words, Midoriya Izuku briefly recalled the "0th imaginary enemy" of the entrance exam. If it were Ayano-senpai's appearance... most of the candidates would probably have a heart attack from fright.

"Thank you, Principal, for stopping Senior Ayane..."

Midoriya silently thanked them in his heart, then bowed to Ayanosaki and said:

"Then please guide me, Senior Xuanlan."

"Hehehehe~~! Witness the magnificent and powerful strength of 'Radiant One'!"

Because Izuku Midoriya was going to have an invention battle with Ayanosaki, the students in the support department had already cleared out the center of the arena, leaving a huge space for the battle.

And because of this rare invention and creation battle, the students in the support department started whispering among themselves.

"Who is that first-year student, Midoriya?"

"Are you stupid? The champion of the first-year sports meet, known as the 'Steel Wire Reaper' even before entering high school, and supposedly he's 'quirkless' himself, achieving this level entirely through equipment and gadgets. He's practically the rising star of U.A. High School this year, and you didn't even know that?"

"Sorry... I was completely oblivious to everything else, my mind was solely focused on building bombs..."

The whispers of the third-year support students...

"I wonder if Midoriya is planning some kind of 'bomb' this time?"

"Probably not... Judging from his mechanical armor, he probably wouldn't use explosives or anything like that, right?"

"No... if anything goes wrong, I have to run!"

The first-year student in the support department still harbors resentment, having been humiliated by Midoriya during the entrance exam, a memory he still finds hard to forget.

In the cleared space, Izuku Midoriya, dressed in full mechanical armor, and Ayanosaki's exaggerated tank, "Ayano-1," were ready. Shota Aizawa and the power loader were responsible for maintaining order and acting as commentators. The support department could conduct test battles in the "Equipment and Item Appreciation Contest."

As for the rest of Class A and the support team, they all stayed far away to watch the battle. Meanwhile, Ochako Uraraka asked Yuu Takeyama, who was standing beside her:

"Who do you think will win this time, Midoriya-kun or Ayane-senpai?"

"...I don't know. Although I think Midoriya has a high chance of winning, the 'Number Zero Imaginary Enemy' in the entrance exam turns out to be just a mass-produced creation of that upperclassman. As expected, the gap between us and the third-year upperclassmen is still huge."

You can't say that!

Hearing the two girls' conversation, Tongxing Baiwan interjected:

"Midori's strength is also quite impressive. Although Ayano's mechanical creations are also very powerful, they are just robots after all. In terms of reaction and thinking, Midorori naturally has an absolute advantage."

"Million is right. Although Ayanosaki has an exceptional talent for manufacturing, her combat experience is not even as good as that of the first-year students."

Wave Spiral continued, and what she said made perfect sense. You can't expect a support student to have more combat experience than a hero student, otherwise the hero students wouldn't be able to play at all.

In other words... Izuku Midoriya now belongs to both the Hero Course and the Support Course. He possesses practical inventions and has combat experience that surpasses most of his peers, so he is no longer on the same level.

Chapter 86 The Test Battle of Inventions and Creations

"Hehehehe~~! Midoriya-kun, is this how you plan to fight?"

"I'm not responsible if you get hurt!"

Still laughing exaggeratedly, the creation of her invention is naturally "Radiant Number One," which has a gorgeous appearance and powerful strength, making it the creation that best reflects her title of "Glamorous Queen."

"It's okay, if anything happens, I'll just surrender."

The very honest Izuku Midoriya was only fighting to test the practicality of his mechanical armor, so there was no need for him to stubbornly fight to the death.

"Let's begin then! Go forth, my magnificent 'Radiant One'!!"

Under Ayanosaki's command, "Ayano-1" transforms into a tank robot with a tank-like lower body and an Ayanosaki-like upper body.

"Please give me your guidance!"

Once the mechanical helmet is put on, the mechanical parts automatically lock and the system is activated, the entire mechanical armor starts up, the external screen is displayed in front of you, and the functions of the entire armor are displayed on both sides. Midoriya can activate it by voice or by pressing the switch on the corresponding part.

"Catch him, 'Brilliant Number One'!"

The test battle began, and Ayanosaki didn't waste any time. He directly used concise words to command his machine creation, driving it to capture Midoriya Izuku.

After transforming into robot form, "Brilliant One" reached a height of about ten meters, and its mechanical arm stretched directly towards Izuku Midoriya, its speed being twice as fast as "Opponent Zero".

Despite being surprised that such an extravagantly designed robot could move so fast, Izuku Midoriya was not slow at all, and activated the rocket backpack on the back of his autosuit.

Izuku Midoriya's figure lifted off the ground. This time, his autosuit was equipped with enough energy, and the rocket pack's thrust was enough to keep him airborne for a while.

"Hehehehe~~! You think just flying into the sky is enough?~~!"

Amidst the exaggerated laughter of the Radiant One, the mechanical arm of "Radiant One" extended and lengthened, aiming at Izuku Midoriya in the sky as it launched an attack.

"It has this function too?!"

Startled by the suddenly extended arm, Midoriya did not slow down. He activated the thrusters on his arm and rapidly changed position in the air, barely avoiding the mechanical arm's grasp.

"Hehehehe~! Running away won't do, Midoriya-kun~!!"

Under the instructions of the Brilliant Saki, the robotic arm of "Brilliant One" accelerated again and rushed towards Izuku Midoriya. This time, the speed was too great for him to dodge.

"Its speed is much faster than 'Opponent Zero'..."

This "Brilliant Number One" in front of us is truly a masterpiece of Brilliant Saki. Its speed is comparable to that of Izuku Midoriya, who is dodging in the air. But it has more than just these tricks up its sleeve.

The leg armor function was activated, and the external component on the side of the thigh aimed at the mechanical head of "Brilliant One," while simultaneously shooting out two steel cables that wrapped around it before quickly retrieving them.

Izuku Midoriya's signature steel wire technique has been incorporated into his leg armor, allowing him to drastically change his position in mid-air while also providing sufficient impact.

The force generated by the steel cable retrieval also provided a boost from the rocket backpack on Izuku Midoriya's back, while the heel of Izuku Midoriya's leg armor transformed directly into a steel spike.

Using the retrieval of the steel cable and the jet propulsion from the rocket backpack to create a huge impact, Izuku Midoriya's kick slammed directly into the robot's head. According to Izuku Midoriya's guess... "Radiant One" is such a large head for Radiant Senpai, the core of the robot should be in the head.

However... nothing happened at all...

"Brilliant One's" mechanical arm spun back and grabbed at him. In surprise, Midoriya performed a Leap of Faith and plummeted downwards. Just before hitting the ground, the jets on the chest of his autosuit sprayed air backwards, and as his landing speed decreased dramatically, Midoriya performed a tactical roll and landed safely.

After landing, Izuku Midoriya quickly ran away to create a distance between himself and "Brilliant One," otherwise he would be crushed under the tank tracks immediately.

"Damn it... Damn it! My magnificent and beautiful 'Radiant One'!!"

Ayanosaki felt sorry for her robot. Izuku Midoriya's kick hadn't caused any real damage to "Ayanosaki-1," but it had left a large hole in Ayanosaki's exterior.

Looking at the culprit who had just landed, Ayanosaki shouted with a dark expression:

"Midori-senpai.....!!!"

"Wait, I surrender! I give up!!"

After glancing at the huge hole in "Radiant Number One's" face and the dark aura surrounding Radiant Saki, Izuku Midoriya realized that not understanding what was going on was just being an idiot. If he didn't back down now, when would he?

"It's too late, 'Radiant One'! Battle mode activated!!"

"Ayano-zaki shouted with a dark aura on his face, and at this moment the robot transformed again. "Ayano-zaki No. 1" became the head of Ayano-zaki's appearance. Its mouth opened directly, and a black cannon muzzle protruded. At the same time, its eyes also opened, and white lasers gathered and condensed in its eyes.

"Teacher Aizawa, please save me!!"

Seeing "Brilliant Number One" going all out, Izuku Midoriya immediately sought help from Aizawa-sensei, who was acting as an evaluator. Just as Aizawa-sensei was about to speak up to stop things from getting out of hand, he realized that things were getting out of hand.

"No one will die. The shells loaded in my 'Brilliant One' are the same type as the landmines used in the Olympic Games qualifiers, and the lasers only react to metal; they won't even penetrate skin."
