I, without any personality, become a hero!

"How about it! Shocked by your first visit to the 'Brainless Manufacturing Factory'?"

AFO, who emerged from the black mist portal, spoke to Izuku Midoriya in a tone as if addressing a student, explaining that these were all his creations.

"Completely wicked!"

Izuku Midoriya, who only feels disgust towards All For One, is the leader of the League of Villains, who has trained so many monsters... I wonder how many people will be harmed.

"Evil? That's quite an apt description, but it's precisely because of our kind of 'evil' that the righteous greatness of heroes is highlighted, isn't it?"

"Stop spouting such nonsense, are you trying to ridicule others?!"

Izuku Midoriya was anxious because he couldn't find Kota at the factory. He didn't have time to chat with AFO, and he didn't want to talk about such disgusting topics with the League of Villains.

"They're really in a hurry, Black Mist."

"Understood, teacher!"

Following Afo's command, the black mist behind him bowed again and disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a portal of black mist appeared in front of Izuku Midoriya, and Shigaraki Tomura was pulling out a frightened Kota.

"Kouta!"

Izuku Midoriya, who rushed over and knocked Shigaraki Tomura aside, hugged the terrified child in front of him. It was all because of him that Kota had been dragged along.

"Teacher, what exactly do you want to do? Taking care of children is very annoying."

Shigaraki Tomura couldn't understand it. Not long ago, he felt that his teacher had become a completely different person, but that didn't matter... Shigaraki had trusted and relied on his teacher since childhood. To him, AFO was like a father, an irreplaceable existence.

"Diao, don't be too hasty. Witness the touching scene before you. This is a rare and joyful thing."

All For One laughed as he spoke, while Shigaraki Tomura scratched his cheek, unable to understand his teacher's behavior. Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku became alert... AFO's words didn't seem like they were meant to be kind.

"I'm going to take Kota away from here."

Without saying another word, Midoriya picked up the frightened Kota and quickly headed towards the factory gate. The sooner they left the enemy's lair, the better.

"Midori-kun, you're really impatient. I think I mentioned that you were an invited guest."

Afo tapped his forehead with his right index finger, adding another sentence with a very troubled expression:

"But I never said that Kota-kun was an invited guest, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking "all for one," Izuku Midoriya sensed something was wrong and sprinted toward the factory gate. Suddenly, a culture tank on the left side of the factory exploded, and a tall figure leaped out and blocked the exit of the factory gate. The ground was also destroyed and cracked by the force of the explosion.

"It's you!?"

The person standing before him was the muscular man who had fought fiercely with Midoriya during the forest training camp. The situation of this guy was very strange. Two black cylinders pierced through his shoulders, and two cylinders were also stuck in the muscles of his thighs. There was also a cylinder stuck in the center of the muscular man's chest.

"That wretched brat..."

The muscular man cursed viciously at Izuku Midoriya, saying that he was in this predicament because of this kid. The leader of the League of Villains was extremely cruel to those who disobeyed his orders, and even the muscular man was terrified of him.

"You disobeyed my orders. I was initially thinking your personality was alright and planned to turn you into a 'Nomu,' but now I've changed my mind."

Standing on the second floor of the factory, All For One spoke to the muscular man below, and also to Izuku Midoriya:

"See that little boy? Kill him and I'll let you go, but you can't hurt Izuku Midoriya, okay? Otherwise, the black catheter in your body will inject a nerve agent directly, turning you into a mindless null."

"All for one! You bastard!!"

Midoriya roared in anger. He finally understood why that man had said those words earlier. So that's what he wanted to do.

No way—Izuku Midoriya absolutely will not allow it!!

The muscular man stared at him with a bloodthirsty smile. Kota fell to the ground in fear. After experiencing so much, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. A seven-year-old child had reached the limit of what he could bear.

Kota, his face ashen with fear, had a hand placed on his head—it was Izuku Midoriya.

I will protect you!

These are Midoriya's words, not just empty words; they are a vow, a vow that Midoriya Izuku made in his heart!

Even if it costs me my life, I will protect Kota!

"A hero game? Too bad I won't play with you guys!"

The muscular man, whose entire body was covered in muscle fibers, charged towards Kota like a tank. He believed that if he could take care of this brat left behind by "Woshausen," he could survive.

The muscular man's forward momentum gradually came to a halt, as someone blocked his path with their own flesh and blood—it was Izuku Midoriya.

As the muscular man charged toward Kota, Midoriya also charged forward. Midoriya used both hands to firmly restrain the muscular man's body halfway through, pushing him backward and creating a five-meter-long trench. With his face flushed, Midoriya Izuku finally managed to stop the enemy's movement with all his might.

"You little rascal!"

The muscular man, gritting his teeth in hatred, dared not lay a hand on Izuku Midoriya after hearing All For One's words. If he hurt this kid, his own life would be over.

Chapter 115 My Hero

"You little bastard!!"

The muscular man, whose movements were being hindered, would normally have punched the troublesome kid to death. However, All For One had personally stated that if he harmed the kid in front of him, he would be dead as well.

But it doesn't matter. The muscle man's Quirk is "muscle fiber". With his overwhelming strength, how could he be stopped by someone without a Quirk?

Muscle fibers burst forth, covering his arms, and the muscular man exerted force to press down. This kid was blocking his way, so he would just throw him aside and then kill the brat from "Waterhouse".

However... this didn't work. The muscular man was indeed very strong, and Izuku Midoriya, who was blocking his way, was pushed aside. But he immediately wrapped his legs tightly around the enemy's legs and his arms tightly restrained the muscular man's right arm. He would not let go unless Midoriya's arms and legs were broken.

"That's no use. Just watch me kill that brat!"

Since this kid wanted to stop him, he decided to ignore him and used the immense strength from his muscle fibers to drag Midoriya Izuku towards Kota.

Before he could take two steps, the muscular man stumbled and fell to the ground. He glared at Izuku Midoriya, who was still clinging to him, and angrily cursed:

"You little brat, is this the only trick you can pull?!"

Just now, Midoriya Izuku had used a close-range, entangled, and tripped the muscular man, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face. While this childish trick was undeniably shameful, Midoriya didn't care...

Facing the silent enemy, Midoriya had no equipment or tools at his side. All he had was his own body to stop the muscle man. The huge difference in strength between the two sides made it impossible for him to win. However, AFO's words gave Midoriya Izuku the only way out.

Persistence!

No matter how ugly or unsightly it may be, Izuku Midoriya must stop the enemy's actions; he must protect Kota!

"Damn brat!"

The muscular man desperately wanted to punch the annoying kid in front of him to death, but he suppressed his impulse. If he really threw that punch, the kid would probably be the first to die.

"Stinky brat!"

Shifting the focus to Kota, just as the muscular man was about to leap over and stomp him to death, Midoriya acted first, punching him hard in his only intact right eye. Muscle fibers can't protect the eye.

"Bastard! Aaaaaah!!"

The muscular man, enraged and berserk, caused his muscle fibers to bulge violently out of his body. The sudden increase in size caused Izuku Midoriya to lose his grip and be thrown off.

"Go to hell!!"

The annoying kid had already been thrown away, and the muscular man was about to rush towards Kota when Izuku Midoriya suddenly appeared in front of him.

The muscular man decided to ignore Midoriya. His muscles bulged and expanded, and he realized that the kid couldn't restrain him like before. So, he decided to kill the "Waterhouse" brat now.

Izuku Midoriya understood perfectly well that he could no longer stop the muscular man in the same way he had before, so he had no choice but to resort to a more vulgar method.

The muscular man charged forward, his opening wide, and aimed a powerful kick at Izuku Midoriya, who was about to fall.

In an instant, all the men in the room felt a chill run down their spines... After taking a few steps, the muscular man collapsed to the ground, curled up in a ball, writhing in excruciating pain... There were no muscle fibers protecting that area.

“Kill…kill you…you little bastard…”

The muscular man, unable to utter a word of pain, was carefully shielded behind Izuku Midoriya, while All For One also found it hard to bear watching any longer.

"Midori-kun, your behavior is really unseemly... You need to be punished a little."

"I won't kill him. As long as he's still alive, I can save him. You understand what that means, right?"

"I...I understand..."

The muscular man, his hips clenched tightly, struggled to his feet and stared intently at Izuku Midoriya. He wanted to put the "Waterhouse" kid aside and vent his pent-up pain.

"Kota...find a chance to escape on your own."

“Green Valley........”

Midoriya Izuku whispered his instructions to Kota, who looked worried and scared. Midoriya patted Kota's head and then walked directly towards the muscular man... The enemy was getting serious.

"You little bastard, you're dead meat!!"

"bring it on!"

Without another word, Izuku Midoriya and the muscular man collided head-on. This was no longer a childish game; now it was a real, full-force attack.

Midoriya's right fist swung towards the enemy's head, but was blocked by the muscular man's bulging muscle fibers. At the same time, the man's left fist mercilessly attacked Midoriya's chest.

In terms of agility, Izuku Midoriya was superior. He dodged the muscular man's left fist with a bridge move, and at the same time, he kicked the enemy's weak point again without mercy.

This time, however, Izuku Midoriya's right foot was firmly trapped between the enemy's legs, and the muscular man cursed viciously:

"You don't think I'd fall for that trick again, do you!"

Of course not!

The muscular man clamped down on Midoriya's right foot, but this gave him a point of leverage, allowing him to execute a spinning left leg kick that struck the enemy's head with force.

If an ordinary person were to take this kick, they would be either dead or seriously injured, but the muscular man was completely unharmed. The muscle fibers that bulged out of his neck acted as a cushion, preventing Izuku Midoriya's attack.

"Kid, I've got you!"

The muscular man grinned menacingly, grabbed Izuku Midoriya's left leg with his right hand, and tossed him high into the air before slamming him down!

The shattered ground and the severe injuries Izuku Midoriya suffered caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his entire body seemingly about to shatter.

"Be careful, if Midoriya-kun dies, you might as well go down with him."

After being reminded by AFO above, the muscular man calmed down a bit. He got up and walked towards Kota, who looked terrified. He decided to kill this brat now.

The muscular man hadn't walked more than a few steps when he felt someone tightly hugging his waist. He turned around and saw that it was the disheveled Izuku Midoriya.

"Kid, let go!"

Despite the muscular man's warning, Midoriya ignored it, simply holding the guy even tighter, determined not to let him go to Kota's place.

"You little bastard, I told you to let go!"

The muscular man's right elbow slammed into Izuku Midoriya's back, and blood gushed from his mouth again, but Midoriya held on even tighter!

"We will not let go, we will absolutely not let go!"

"That damn brat!!"

The muscular man was furious. This kid was really too troublesome. This time, he would beat him to a pulp, knocking his muscle fibers away and dissipating. He had to avoid killing the kid with one punch.

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

The muscular man with a bloodthirsty smile on his face relentlessly punched Midoriya, beating him until his head bled, his face was bruised and swollen, and he kept vomiting blood.

Even so... Izuku Midoriya showed no intention of letting go, holding onto the muscular man tightly, determined to protect Kota.

"You troublesome brat!!"

The muscular man was panting heavily from the fight, but Izuku Midoriya still clung to him tightly, as if he would rather die than give up this position.

"Get out of my way!"

"I'm done playing," the muscular man grabbed Izuku Midoriya and flung him to the ground some distance away, while Kota immediately scrambled over to him.

"Green... Green Valley..."

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's face covered in blood, Kota's tears streamed down his face as he cried out, "..."

"Why...why did you go to such lengths? Are you out of your mind?!"

Why...?

Despite the excruciating pain throughout his body, Izuku Midoriya forced a strained smile and replied to Kota:

"Because...it's the same thing your mom and dad do..."

Izuku Midoriya slowly got up from the ground. He looked at the muscular man who was panting and regaining his strength, and used his body to block Kota.

"Your parents... 'Waterhouse' also protect others in this way..."

"So...I want to protect you too!!"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse, the muscular man said with disgust:

"Two years ago, Waterhouse risked his life to protect a complete stranger. He wouldn't have been killed if he had just moved aside. Are all heroes such idiots?"
