I, without any personality, become a hero!

As for Izuku Midoriya, being "Quirkless" makes becoming a hero a pipe dream. He has worked much harder and more diligently to reach his current level, and he fought to the point of bloodshed to protect Kota. Mirio hates himself for not arriving sooner, because perhaps Midoriya wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.

Now, All For One's words made Mirio feel even worse. Midoriya being targeted by the enemy was ultimately partly due to Nighteye's fault, and as Nighteye's disciple... Mirio had to make amends for his master's mistakes.

"Go spend your next life in prison!"

Today we must take down this culprit. Mirio Togata's "Pierce" technique merges with the ground and is released, unleashing the power of "One For All." The explosion of his two "Quirks" allows him to reach "Godspeed" once again, and his fist strikes straight at AFO's head.

This time, however, All For One wore a triumphant smile. Just as Mirio Togata's fist was about to strike his face, a pool of black water appeared out of thin air in front of him, and All Might appeared in it.

In this situation, Mirio Togata, who was throwing punches, couldn't stop. The sudden appearance of All Might startled him, but Mirio quickly regained his composure and punched All Might mercilessly.

A powerful punch pierced through All Might's body and landed squarely on Afo's smug face, denting his potato-shaped face and sending him flying into the ruins.

On the other side, Mirio Togata, who had just punched All For One, caught the surprised All Might to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"Your reaction was so quick! I didn't expect you to be able to make such a timely judgment in this situation. It's truly outstanding and makes me jealous."

Afo, lying face down on the ruins, had no intention of getting up. The continuous punches to his face had made him lose his will to fight. With Mirio's "Penetration" combined with the power of "One For All," he was no match for him.

Just a moment ago, when the Million Attack was about to hit him, All For One used his "Teleport" Quirk, one of the Quirks he had recently acquired. It could only teleport people and things he was familiar with for short distances. And since All Might was an "old friend" that All For One knew very well, he used him as a shield.

Unexpectedly, Mirio Togata reacted too quickly and made an excellent, calm judgment. In an instant, he used "Penetration" to avoid All Might and hit Afo directly in the face, leaving Mirio with no choice but to admit defeat.

"To resort to such methods, what a despicable fellow!"

"Heh~ I'm a bad guy, and when it comes to personality, your 'penetration' is even more despicable."

Tongxing was filled with anger and accusations, but All For One didn't want to talk to him anymore. This kid's "personality" was even more outrageous than his own, and there was no need to continue the fight.

"Goodbye, All Might and Mirio Togata, please give my regards to Izuku Midoriya and me..."

"!!!"

In the midst of the urgency and panic, the words "all for one" left Toru Mirio with no time to hesitate. He unleashed his lightning speed once more and lunged at the man, but it was still too late.

A black portal appeared beneath Afo, and as he waved goodbye to Million and All Might, he disappeared directly into the black mist "portal".

"hateful!!"

"That bastard!!"

All For One escaped, All Might and Mirio Togata were filled with remorse and blame, but all of this was in vain, as the enemy's leader had already vanished before their eyes.

"Midori... he's being targeted by All For One..."

The reality that All Might and Mirio Touka are now forced to confront is that this is only the beginning, and the future that Nighteye foresaw is a cause for concern in their hearts.

The belated police and heroes arrived. Allmat had already met with Officer Takuna to report what had happened, while Million sat on the ruins, a worried expression on his face, pondering a question...

...If it were Izuku Midoriya who inherited "One For All," would things have been different from the start, and would Nighteye's vision of the future have been different from this terrible situation...?

Chapter 123 sequel

The incident in the Kanno district has been initially resolved. The media has announced that Izuku Midoriya was rescued, and All Might fought a major battle with the enemy leader, but the enemy ultimately escaped.

It seemed like a successful operation, but no one could say that. Not only did they fail to capture a single enemy, but Izuku Midoriya himself was also seriously injured and hospitalized. It was a complete failure.

During this time, Izuku Midoriya's mother, Inoko Midoriya, came many times and cried a lot of tears. Any mother would be heartbroken to see her child in this state.

Meanwhile, All Might and Mirio Togata, who came to the hospital to visit Izuku Midoriya, deliberately avoided contact with him...

They were too ashamed to face this mother. Not only did Midoriya manage to get through it all on his own, but in the end, they didn't even leave behind any AFO... It was truly shameful.

During this time, his classmates and friends often came to visit Midoriya. Everyone was very happy that he was rescued and wished him a speedy recovery.

Midoriya responded to his classmates and friends with a smile, but after they left, he silently lowered his head... Midoriya was burdened with worries.

Izuku Midoriya has been hospitalized for a week. Today, All Might and Mirio Togata, as usual, came to visit him. They came after Izuku's mother, Iniko Midoriya, left... The two of them were still a little embarrassed to face Izuku's parents.

"Midori, are you feeling better?"

"...All Might...Million-senpai"

All Might greeted them as soon as he entered, and Midoriya slowly turned his head away from the window, remaining silent for a moment before responding. He didn't know how to face the two of them.

"........."

All Might also remained silent for a moment, but he was about to speak. Izuku Midoriya's injuries were still quite serious some time ago, so it was not advisable to mention anything about the League of Villains. But now, he had to sort everything out.

"Young Midoriya... that man, he gave you the 'Quirk', didn't he..."

When All Might asked him a question, Izuku Midoriya remained silent... He nodded, thus giving his answer.

"And...you killed the enemy...is that right...?"

All Might pressed him again, but Midoriya remained silent... He would eventually have to face this question, but the fact that he had done it was undeniable.

Izuku Midoriya... slowly nodded...

"......"

All Might was prepared for the inner turmoil and pain when he heard All For One mention it, but Midoriya's personal admission of his actions still made All Might feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I see..." All Might sighed. Mirio Togata stood silently to the side, and Izuku Midoriya also lowered his head silently... He was preparing to accept the final announcement that was about to be made.

However, the harsh criticism he had imagined did not come. Instead, All Might placed a warm hand on Izuku Midoriya's head, and to his surprise, All Might made a gesture as if to whisper something to him.

“Young Midoriya, I’ll tell you a secret… that guy you met named All For One, I was going to kill him a few years ago. See the wound on his head? I was going to blow his head off back then.”

"All Might...?"

Midoriya didn't understand what All Might meant, but the large hand on his head just ruffled his hair, making Midoriya's seaweed-like hairstyle hang down.

"Officer Takunai has agreed to keep this a secret for me, and Kota will also keep it strictly confidential for you. You don't need to worry about any negative news leaking out to the reporters and media."

"Although it's not quite the right thing to say, heroes can cheat a little bit, you know."

"All Might...!!"

All Might's words made Izuku Midoriya happy, but at the same time, they made him even sadder...

Even after things turned out this way, they were still willing to believe in and help him, which made Midoriya feel extremely guilty and remorseful... He didn't have to do it this way.

The moment Izuku Midoriya killed the muscular man, he had already resigned himself to giving up his dream of becoming a hero; he was clearly prepared for that...

With his head down, tears streamed down Izuku Midoriya's cheeks. He didn't even know what he was feeling; there was happiness and joy... but mostly inner pain and torment.

"Don't worry too much... everything will be alright."

Mirio Togata, who was standing nearby, offered some words of comfort, saying that he felt very bad seeing Midoriya in such a situation.

"Million, let's go..."

All Might stood up. He had come mainly to ask these two questions and to tell Midoriya not to worry.

All Might and Mirio Touka got up and left. Nighteye had been waiting for them for a long time as they walked out of the hospital's main entrance.

The three of them originally came together, but Nighteye didn't go with them to visit Midoriya. Instead, he waited at the hospital entrance.

"Did you tell Midoriya about the future I saw?"

"No......"

Olmet shook his head, reflecting on the results of his visit over the past few days.

"What Midoriya knows is that All For One has taken a liking to him, and he even knows about the existence of 'One For All,' but he doesn't know why that man values ​​him so much..."

"So you're planning to keep this a secret?"

Nighteye glanced worriedly at the location of Midoriya's hospital room, and asked with difficulty:

"Things are clearly taking a turn for the worse, and if this continues... that terrible future..."

Night Eyes!

Allmite's shout interrupted Nighteye, and he said with utmost seriousness:

"Midori-kun got injured like this to protect Kota, and I ask you... why do you think he did that?"

"............"

Nighteye fell silent; All Might's words left him speechless, and ultimately, the cause was all his fault...

Looking out the window, Izuku Midoriya's heart once again felt like still water. He was grateful for All Might's words... but...

Izuku Midoriya's inner pain could not be stopped, not because of the guilt he felt after killing the muscular man.

On the contrary... Midoriya felt no guilt whatsoever... Looking back on how he had torn his enemy to pieces, he now felt that his actions were... entirely justified...

Chapter 124 Choice

"Izuku... how are you feeling right now?"

At the hospital entrance, Izuku Midoriya, his body wrapped in bandages, slowly left the hospital with his mother's support. He was now able to be discharged and recuperate at home.

During this time, the "Healing Girl" came once and used "Quirk" activation therapy to allow Midoriya to recover so quickly. However, the Healing Girl could not heal Midoriya's body all at once. His body cannot withstand the physical exertion of rapid recovery and he must recover slowly.

Before they were discharged and ready to go through the procedures, the doctor called Izuku Midoriya and his mother to the infirmary and gave them a serious warning:

"The human brain limits muscle exertion to prevent the body from being overloaded and damaged. This time, you used more force than you could have against your opponent, didn't you?"

"Because such reckless behavior almost caused your body to collapse, if you hadn't been physically strong enough, you probably wouldn't have survived."

"Most importantly, if you were to have another such extreme burst of energy, you would probably die immediately."

The doctor's words silenced Izuku Midoriya, and brought tears streaming down his face as his mother, Iniko Midoriya, stood beside him. She was more worried than anyone about her son's health; why had her Izuku suffered such a fate...?

After completing the discharge procedures, Midoriya and his mother, Midoriya Inoko, returned home. He is currently in such poor health that even walking is difficult, and he needs to rest and recuperate at home for the time being.

"Izuku... I want to discuss something with you..."

Back home, sitting across from Izuku Midoriya, his mother, Inoko Midoriya, looked at him with unease, hesitation, and above all, a mother's resolve. Finally, she spoke:

"Could you... please stop trying to be a hero...?"

"........."

Silent and speechless, Izuku Midoriya looked down at his right palm, bearing the scars from his battle with the muscular man... and the power that had killed his enemy...

"Mom...let me think about it for a while..."

"Um......"

Knowing that giving up the dream of becoming a hero would be a cruel choice for her child, Iniko Midoriya didn't want to see Izuku Midoriya become like this again... And what the doctor said—that if he were to unleash power beyond his physical limits again... Izuku would die...

Let Midoriya Izuku think quietly by himself, while Midoriya Iniko went to the kitchen to prepare dinner; as a mother, she had many things to do.

"A hero, huh..."

Izuku Midoriya was lost in confusion. He had been pondering this question for a long time: could he still become a hero?

According to the hero law stipulated in Japan, heroes do not have the right to kill enemies. Violating this law obviously prevents one from becoming a hero. However, Midoriya was prepared to give up his dream and mercilessly killed the enemy.

He could not tolerate that an enemy who had killed a hero could go unpunished and even planned to kill Kota in order to save his own life. Such a heinous crime!

Even if we spare his life, he'll eventually be turned into a brainless monster by that man called all·for·one. It would be better to let him die directly.

Having thought he had completely lost his chance to be a hero, Midoriya was prepared to live a normal life, perhaps even becoming a policeman—a good option in the future. But...

All Might did not abandon him, and even helped him cover up the fact that he had killed the enemy... This moved Izuku Midoriya deeply, but also made him even more heartbroken.

He could have just given up on himself... why did he have to pull him along in the end? Izuku Midoriya couldn't refuse All Might's kindness. His most admired hero had done so much for him; it wasn't worth it at all...

Now Izuku Midoriya has two paths to choose from:

Become a hero, accept All Might's help to conceal your mistakes... and continue on your path toward your dreams.

I gave up my dreams, listened to my mother's advice... and also gave up all the efforts I had made since childhood.

This is a difficult choice... Izuku Midoriya is extremely confused, and he doesn't know what to do.

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

As evening approached, there was a knock on the door of the Midoriya Izuku family's house. When Izuku's mother, Midoriya Inko, put down her work and went to open the door, several people were standing in front of it.

"Excuse me... is this Midoriya-kun's house?"

"Of course! Would I lead you astray?!"

Uraraka Ochako asked timidly and politely, while Bakugo Katsu was already cursing rudely, saying, "These guys asked me to lead the way, but they don't even believe me?"

"It's Katsuki? And are you all Izuku's classmates!?"

Midoriya Inoko quickly opened the door and invited the people at the door in; she couldn't neglect her child's classmates.
