I, without any personality, become a hero!

When facing an evenly matched enemy boss, and gradually falling into a disadvantageous position due to prolonged battle and exhaustion, in this critical moment, remember your inner hero's creed and unleash your last bit of power to defeat the big boss!

At this moment, a hero is someone who can still stand on the ground and laugh heartily!

Izuku Midoriya will remember this sentence and always make it the focus of his training!

By the way, this line was spoken by All Might!

Chapter 9: Daily Training, Steel Wire Technique

"Hoohoo!"

Izuku Midoriya was drenched in sweat as he pulled on a rope with a refrigerator tied to the back. A long trail had been left behind him, indicating that he had pulled the refrigerator quite far!

"Physical strength needs to be sustained at its limit in order to increase..."

Thinking about this, Izuku Midoriya kept pulling the refrigerator around, trying to burn off his energy by running, but it would take too long. After researching exercise online, Izuku started training at his secret base in the seaside park.

There is no one to disturb us here, and the readily available electrical appliances can be easily transformed into fitness equipment. By modifying a refrigerator with ropes, it can be turned into a tool for exercising.

Running alone takes too long and is not very effective; however, Izuku Midoriya can quickly exhaust his stamina by using modified equipment, and at the same time push his physical strength to the limit, thus achieving a better training effect!

"One hour!"

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Izuku Midoriya stopped pulling on the refrigerator; the physical training was over!

Exercise is not just about doing one type of training. Izuku Midoriya searched online and created a training plan that was customized for people of different age groups!

For someone like Izuku, who is a middle school student, one hour of physical training is the limit. Any more than that would only damage his body and have the opposite effect!

That being said, when Izuku Midoriya first started his physical training by pulling the refrigerator, he couldn't even last twenty minutes, because that big thing was just too heavy!

Panting heavily, Izuku Midoriya rested for ten minutes, regaining some of his strength, before starting his second training session!

"Next, strength training!"

Izuku lay on a reclining position made from a modified car seat, with two metal walls beside him, serving as safety gates to protect him from being crushed in case of a loss of strength.

At this moment, Izuku Midoriya is blushing as he lifts a barbell, which is actually a modified version of a barbell.

The lever is the axle of a car tire, and there are car tires on both sides. The tires are hollow rubber, but they are filled with various heavy metal blocks, so heavy that even an adult cannot lift them. This thing was a tool that Izuku found here and modified from the materials on the spot.

He slowly lifted the barbell, held it to his limit, and then slowly lowered it. His hands trembled throughout the process, demonstrating the full force he had exerted.

“1....2....3...”

As he counted for himself, Izuku Midoriya slowly began his strength training. To become a hero, it wasn't enough to just have good stamina; even without All Might's exaggeratedly terrifying strength, it wasn't enough.

But Izuku's plan for himself was to at least possess strength that surpassed that of strong adults. He knew better than anyone that he didn't have a "Quirk," so within the limits of what was feasible, he would at least make his physical abilities completely surpass those of others!

For example, if Izuku Midoriya wants to use "wire" to achieve a fighting style of using minimal force to overcome great strength, and wants to bind an enemy of "great strength", he must at least possess "four ounces" of strength himself.

Just like the werewolf that was subdued not long ago, he has a strength-type Quirk. From a direct point of view, it would be impossible for Izuku Midoriya to bind and subdue him. By using the pulley effect of the steel wire, he completely bound the enemy whose strength far exceeded his own!

After reaching his target number, Izuku Midoriya felt like his hands were about to break, but having maintained this kind of training for a long time, he knew that this was just overload. He rolled off the lever and prepared to move on to the next project!

Physical strength and power are the two most critical factors that Izuku Midoriya is currently considering. Other aspects such as reaction speed, physical flexibility, and throwing accuracy are also training items, but we will skip them for today!

Skill! In the training program that Izuku Midoriya was preparing for, he defeated the werewolf and two robbers by relying on his "skill" of manipulating steel wires. This was a special skill that he had worked hard to develop over a long period of time!

Izuku Midoriya wore the "Death Gauntlet" but did not take out the "Steel Anchor" to use it. Training with the equipment alone was also necessary!

Izuku aimed at the target, and the "wire" from the Grim Reaper's Gauntlet shot out, wrapping around an old television set like a spider web. Then, Izuku swung the wire, and the old television set plowed a furrow in the sand of the seaside park, while its parts were destroyed and scattered all over the ground.

"Drag, this move can be used against enemies with relatively sturdy bodies."

Switching targets, Izuku Midoriya retrieved the wire and fired it again at the discarded tire on the ground. The wire wrapped around the tire, and Izuku suddenly pulled it up and threw it into the air. Then, he aimed the tire at a broken lamp on the other side and pulled it down! The tire, like a missile, rose 180 degrees and plummeted straight down, smashing the lamp to pieces!

"The 'Throw' move can deal with enemies from two directions!"

After retrieving the steel wire, Izuku Midoriya wrapped it around the dilapidated truck next to him. The truck's front wheel and axle were gone, so it was obviously a truck that Izuku had used as a substitute. After wrapping the steel wire around the truck from various angles, Izuku Midoriya grabbed his right hand and pulled it backward!

"Pull, pull the target toward your position!"

Not moving an inch........

Unsurprisingly, Izuku Midoriya began to mutter incoherently, "We're still helpless when it comes to targets that are too heavy!"

He'd pulled the truck more than once or twice, but Izuku always had to try it out, though the result was always the same: the target wouldn't budge an inch.

But this isn't a wasted effort. Izuku needs to understand the limits of his own abilities and then strive towards that goal every day. One of Izuku Midoriya's core beliefs is: "Limits are meant to be broken!"

Incidentally, it was Allmight who said that!

When pulling on the truck proved ineffective, Izuku began training in other aspects of wire manipulation: weaving nets, capturing, entanglement, and defensive netting...

Time flies, and before you know it, the sun is about to set. Looking at the afterglow of the sunset on the sea, Izuku Midoriya knows it's time for him to go home, and today's training is over!

After changing clothes at the secret base, I put my sportswear into my bag to take home and wash. I had prepared two sets of sportswear to change into, so that I wouldn't sweat so much that the sportswear would become sour and smelly!

After locking the door to the secret base cabin, Izuku Midoriya was about to turn around and go home when he suddenly stopped!

Slowly taking out the equipment from his bag, Izuku put the "Death Gauntlets" back on. He looked at a plastic mannequin, a common sight in clothing stores, that someone had left there, and a thought began to form...

"Would you like to try this...?"

Izuku Midoriya hesitated. Among the wire manipulation techniques he possessed, there were naturally some things called forbidden killing moves, but he had only trained them because he thought they were cool, and found that they were not the kind of moves that could be used on people.

"It's just a model anyway, it's fine..."

Seemingly to comfort himself, he used his long-forgotten forbidden technique: an invisible steel wire shot out from the Death Gauntlet—just one steel wire!

Izuku Midoriya's movements were completely obscured. He swung his right hand, shooting out the steel wire, and then immediately pulled it back. He knew from the feel of it that his move had succeeded, but he was still a little scared... Izuku didn't dare to look back and immediately ran back to his home!

After Midoriya ran a long way away, the seemingly complete humanoid plastic model changed. A smooth mark appeared on the neck, and then the head and body separated!

The thing that I hadn't dared to look at for a long time had been smoothly split in two and fallen to the ground!

Izuku Midoriya created this move because he thought it was cool, but after training it to perfection, he completely sealed it away and named it the Steel Wire Technique "Strangulation"!

The rapidly ejected steel wire retracts quickly as it is swung, and is sharper than a blade, capable of cutting through bone!

Chapter 10 Equipment and Materials Issues

"Little Green Valley, do you know the hero 'Eraser Head'?"

During a communications session at the secret base, Faming mentioned the name of a professional hero!

"I know that. Although he rarely gets interviewed by reporters, his ability to 'eliminate' others makes him quite a famous hero!"

"They seem to be similar to secret agents, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, eliminating the enemy's personality before engaging in close-quarters fighting..."

Before Akira could even begin, Izuku Midoriya launched into a long, rambling monologue, leaving the genius inventor girl scratching her head in frustration!

"What I mean is, have you paid attention to Eraser Head's fighting style?"

"Fighting style? According to the data, this hero erases the enemy's Quirk, then defeats and binds them at close range. Since it's an ability to 'erase' Quirks, is that why they use hand-to-hand combat?!"

A little angry that Midoriya Izuku had gone off-topic, Hatsume Akira said, enunciating each word sharply!

"What I mean is!"

Have you noticed "Eraser Head's" weapons?!

"No....."

Izuku Midoriya answered honestly, which made Akira Hata feel quite frustrated. She had brought such great news to inform Izuku, but the person in question had no idea!

"As far as I know, Eraser Head's weapon is a 'bandage' woven from carbon fiber and a special alloy. It's not only tough and lightweight, but most importantly! It has the ability to manipulate and transform!!"

"Manipulating transformation?"

Izuku Midoriya didn't quite understand, so Akira explained it to him with some difficulty:

"Haven't you been thinking about whether there's a steel wire made of some kind that you can manipulate at one end to change the shape of the other? That's what manipulation and deformation is all about!"

"Ah! Really?!"

Hearing what Akira said, Izuku Midoriya got excited. The steel wire he was using was only slightly better than ordinary materials. It was great to have something that met his goals!

"Don't get too excited yet, this kind of material is very expensive, and I don't have any here!"

"Forehead....."

Faming's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Izuku Midoriya's head, instantly steer the conversation to the most crucial point!

"money"

Izuku Midoriya comes from an ordinary family. His father works in the United States and sends a lot of money to his mother, Inoko Midoriya, for living expenses, but that doesn't mean Izuku has a lot of pocket money.

Izuku always believed that he had to find his own materials. Whenever he asked Mei to teach him or make equipment for him, Izuku would find his own way to get the materials, and he would even prepare extra materials for the girls as a reward.

Izuku Midoriya's motto is "Don't cause trouble for others!" Akira has already helped him enough; the rest is up to him to work hard!

"Could you send me the price of that material?"

Upon hearing Izuku Midoriya's words, Akira sent him the price of the materials directly via text message!

He glanced at the message on his phone: the price of the bandage material used for "rubber head"... and his mouth dropped open!

"So...so expensive!!"

Completely unexpectedly, the price listed above is enough to cover Izuku Midoriya's family's living expenses for three years!

"Actually, there is a way. When you go to U.A. High School's Support Department, you can find all kinds of materials there, and students can use them freely. Then you can make your own equipment!"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's pained expression at not being able to afford it, Akira Hatsume suggested another method, although it would take longer...

"All right......"

Izuku tacitly agreed with Hikaru's opinion; this material was currently far beyond his capabilities, but...

I don't want to give up, even though, as Akira Hatsume said, I can freely use materials after joining the U.A. Support Department, but....

Izuku Midoriya's dream! It's to be in the Hero Course at U.A. High School!!

Even though he knew the chances were slim, Izuku couldn't help but want to give it a try. No one says you have to have a "Quirk" to be a hero!

"How to do?"

Izuku was pondering this question. He definitely couldn't afford the large sum of money to buy materials, and as for earning money through part-time jobs, no one would hire a student his age. As for obtaining money illegally? Izuku hadn't even considered it!

Despite racking his brains, he couldn't come up with a solution, and Izuku was about to give up!

It was at this moment that Izuku Midoriya realized a reality: perhaps being "rich" is an incredibly powerful quirk!

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

At school, Izuku Midoriya was still pondering the matter of materials. He simply couldn't come up with that much money and had to completely give up on the plan!

"Bakugo, that's amazing! Where did you get that equipment!?"

On the side of the classroom, the male students were exclaiming in surprise around Bakugo Katsuya. Midoriya Izuku listened carefully and roughly understood what it was. It seemed to be the recently popular online game "Hero Age".

Midoriya was interested but had never played any games. It wasn't that his mother, Midoriya Iniko, forbade him from playing games; on the contrary, she hoped her son could play more of these kinds of games. However!

Izuku Midoriya spends all his time studying and training. In order to become a hero, Izuku doesn't leave much time for himself to play.

"This 'Entangling Web' is dropped by defeating the monster 'Spider Demon,' and it's quite difficult to obtain..."

While Bakugo was chatting with his male classmates, Izuku Midoriya, who was overhearing the conversation, became interested. It wasn't that he was attracted by the topic of games, but rather by what Bakugo had just mentioned!

Fight monsters and get loot!

Izuku realized he had fallen into a trap. He wanted to buy materials to make equipment, but they were too expensive and he couldn't afford them at all. This put him in a dead end.

Because Izuku Midoriya is someone who wants to become a hero, he certainly wouldn't do anything illegal, but that doesn't mean he can't take things from bad guys, not money, of course!

I would never steal money from an enemy, because that's a completely bad thing to do. But stealing equipment is a different story!

Only those who do bad things are called enemies, so stealing the equipment of bad guys is equivalent to weakening or defeating the enemy, which is in line with the code of heroism!

Izuku Midoriya nodded in affirmation; he had found a way to solve his current problem!

Back home, Izuku Midoriya started searching on his computer for information on which enemy might have equipment containing that material.

In today's society, most professional heroes only undertake missions when they receive a commission. Therefore, most of the time, enemies and heroes do not fight to the death. Only enemies who violate the rules too much will be targeted and arrested by the heroes!

After searching for Izuku Midoriya for almost an hour, I finally got some information!

"The enemy is 'The Butcher'! His personality is 'Two-Mouthed'! Crimes: Serial murderers, seven people have already been killed!"

Seeing a short video in the intelligence report, which appeared to be from a camera, Izuku hesitated for a moment before clicking on the video.

In the scene, there is a very fat man, more than two meters tall, who is shirtless and has a long chain wrapped around his body with a bloody hook at the end of the chain. Ten meters away from the fat man, someone is running away in terror!
