I, without any personality, become a hero!

The students were terrified at the sight, and All Might looked full of regret. He hadn't expected that there was a "teleport" quirk among the enemies, and the tactics he had used were instead used against him.

"Of course I don't believe the Nomu can defeat a top hero like you. As a trump card, we still have 'Black Mist'!"

Shigaraki Tomura spoke cheerfully, his body transforming into a portal, while the black mist behind All Might also spoke:

"Although I hate having blood and torso left inside, it's a different story for someone as important as you. This is a rare memento!"

The enemy's scheme was obvious: to pull All Might into the portal, then have the black mist close it, cutting All Might in two!

A major crisis! All Might has fallen into the enemy's trap, while Mirio Togata has gone to other training grounds to rescue students. They are in dire straits with no one to help them!

However, this was impossible. There was someone who reacted faster than anyone else. He rushed towards All Might's location, and it was none other than Izuku Midoriya!

The enemy's actions enraged Izuku Midoriya to the extreme, and they wanted to kill All Might in front of him? Never forgive them!!

As he rushed towards All Might, Midoriya leaned to one side, his hand planted on the ground, and his foot swung in a crescent shape towards the Nomu. At the same time, the steel wires hidden in his roller skates were activated, propelling him forward before rapidly retracting, creating a deadly attack comparable to laser cutting!

"Steel Wire Technique: Cutting"

Midoriya's merciless and cruel attack sliced ​​through the Nobunaga's body like butter, severing its arms and most of its head!

"This is!!"

Although Midoriya's movements were so fast that they were impossible to see, All Might was the strongest hero, and he was right next to him. He caught a glimpse of the steel wire that Izuku had just used, but now was not the time to question it!

Losing his mind and all suppression, All Might felt a sense of relief and immediately rolled away from the portal's range. Clutching his bleeding abdomen, he was in great pain; the old wounds combined with the new ones made All Might feel terrible.

"Why not give Nomu an anti-cutting quirk!"

Shigaraki Tomura was complaining. Despite the Nomu's ability to absorb impact, even All Might couldn't sway it. However, the fact that Izuku Midoriya had cut off the Nomu's arms twice ruined their plans made Shigaraki very annoyed!

The nomu, whose arm and most of its head had been severed, slowly emerged from the portal in the black mist. At the same time, the missing body writhed and grew back to its original shape.

"Can it really be restored like this?!"

Midoriya was quite surprised by the brain-regenerating Quirk. It was amazing that he could recover even after losing half of his head. He was practically a monster!

A cold glint gathered in his eyes; Midoriya had made up his mind. Since All Might couldn't handle the Nomu, then he would! He would utterly shred this monster before him to pieces!

"Thank you, young man! I have something to tell you later, but for now, leave it to me!!"

A giant hand blocked Izuku Midoriya's path. All Might showed no weakness in the face of the Nomu that was restraining him, and once again displayed his lion-like aura!

"But... All Might, your injury!!"

"Don't worry, a hero is someone who can overcome any obstacle, no matter what!"

All Might, giving Midoriya a thumbs-up and sporting his signature smile, once again charged towards the Nomu!

The fists collided, and the shockwave created a hurricane that forced Midoriya backward!

All Might and the Nomu fought relentlessly, their punches so fast that the eye couldn't see them. Each strike generated a violent shockwave, causing Shigaraki Tomura and Midoriya Izuku to be pushed backward.

"Hey, didn't I say that the brainless quirk can absorb impact?"

"It's just absorption, not ineffectiveness! Then transcend yourself!!"

In response to Shigaraki's words, All Might unleashed 100% power in every punch, leaving the monster Nomu powerless to retaliate!

The USJ arena seemed to have been struck by an earthquake; the ground where All Might was standing collapsed, and the unseen shadow of his fists created a hurricane that swept across the entire training ground.

"My enemy, do you know this saying?!"

Under All Might's relentless attacks, the Nomu's regeneration speed could no longer keep up with its injuries, and the entire arena crumbled due to All Might's power. In a final, all-out attack, the Nomu was destroyed!

Keep moving forward! Relentless pursuit, never-ending progress!!

The Nomu burst through the dome of the USJ training ground, was blasted into the sky, smashed through the air and scattered many clouds, and completely turned into stars!

"Wow! That's amazing! This is All Might!!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Izuku Midoriya, after witnessing All Might's power beyond the limits, felt an even stronger admiration for this strongest hero!

"Tch, failed... Black mist, retreat!!"

After witnessing All Might's incomprehensible power send the Nomu flying, Shigaraki Tomura realized the operation had failed and immediately issued a retreat order.

Black mist surged out again, carrying Shigaraki Tomura and Teleport away, just as it had when they arrived, and could not be stopped!

"All Might!"

Only then did Midoriya notice that the strongest hero's figure was somewhat unsteady, which immediately made him worried!

"It's alright..."

At that moment, All Might was emitting white smoke that looked like water vapor, which made Midoriya even more worried and he ran towards him. Then, a concrete wall suddenly appeared and surrounded All Might.

"Leave this to the teachers, students go back now!!"

Cement Man arrived just in time and used his Quirk to create an obstacle to protect All Might, while also stopping Izuku Midoriya from running to All Might's side.

At this moment, the teachers of U.A. High School arrived and began to perform their heroic duties, heading to various training grounds to capture the enemies and instructing the students who were now safe to assemble and report for duty, wondering if anyone had been injured.

Seeing that the teachers had all arrived, Midoriya felt relieved and prepared to go back, even though he was a little worried about All Might's current condition.

"Young man, please stay here. I have something I want to tell you!"

All Might called out to Midoriya, and Cement Man immediately asked nervously:

"All Might, are you sure you're alright?!"

"It's okay, I believe in him!"

For reasons unknown, Izuku Midoriya obediently followed All Might's instructions and bypassed the obstacles created by Cement Man to stand before him.

"You...who are you?!"

The person who appeared before Izuku Midoriya was not the strong All Might of the past, but a thin man, someone he had seen during the mud incident.

"I should say it's been a long time, Akaya Kaiun-kun!"

"I am All Might—Apu!"

All Might, who hadn't even finished his self-introduction, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, making Midoriya extremely nervous and worried.

After that, Midoriya stayed behind because All Might said he had something to say to Izuku. After seeing the other students off, he transferred All Might to the "Healing Girl" infirmary, with Izuku Midoriya accompanying him.

After All Might lay in his hospital bed, he told Midoriya why he was in this state, which worried the young All Might fan. He never expected that the strongest hero would maintain peace in this state.

"But I never expected that your name is Midoriya Izuku, and that this is your true form!"

"Um... I covered it up because I was afraid my mom would worry. I'm so sorry for deceiving you!"

As Izuku Midoriya bowed his head in remorse, All Might didn't say much, but simply placed his large hand on Izuku's head.

"I'm not angry with you. I was just really looking forward to you coming to the Hero Department to study and becoming your teacher."

"Um... because I have no Quirk, I failed my entrance exam..."

Midoriya's awkward explanation caused All Might's expression to freeze instantly; he saw in Midoriya's eyes the same way he looked at his past self.

No! Not only that! This kid is more outstanding than he imagined! He's achieved this level just because he's quirkless? He really failed the entrance exam for U.A. High School... But there's still a way to make amends!

"You failed your entrance exam? No problem! Akaya-kun... no, Midoriya-kun! The U.A. Sports Festival is just around the corner!!"

"You understand what this means, right?!"

When All Might mentioned it, Izuku Midoriya nodded vigorously, naturally understanding what All Might meant.

"I was planning to perform exceptionally well in the sports meet and be promoted to the Hero Department!"

"GOOD! Kid! Keep up the good work! If you perform well enough, I will promote you to the Hero Course in All Might's name!!"

"I understand! I will do my best!!"

All Might's assurance and encouragement filled Izuku Midoriya with confidence and courage, and he would do his best to perform well in the sports meet.

"By the way, Midoriya-kun, you have to keep my appearance a secret!"

"Of course, in return, I will also keep your disguised identity a secret!"

All Might, who voluntarily revealed his true self to Izuku Midoriya, kept their promise as a secret between them.

Chapter 40 The U.A. Sports Meet is Approaching

The League of Villains' invasion—the name of the enemy organization that attacked the U.A. High School USJ training grounds—aimed to kill All Might. Because the matter was too serious to be concealed, the entire news media now knew about it.

Class A of Heroes was attacked by the enemy, but they successfully defeated and captured many of them. In the end, only the homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, and the space hero "Number 13" were injured, while the other students were unharmed.

The news of All Might's injury was kept secret. As the strongest hero and the "symbol of peace," it wouldn't be good if negative news like him being injured by the enemy got out.

"Hey Deku, I heard you've been making quite a splash lately!!"

While Izuku Midoriya was in a different class, Katsutoshi Bakugo, looking annoyed, started causing trouble for him. At the time, Bakugo was stuck in another training area fighting against some henchmen. Later, he heard from his classmates that Izuku Midoriya had used the support department's equipment to delay the enemy and even cut off the arm of the monster called Nomu.

"Ah...that!!"

Get out of my way!

While Midoriya awkwardly didn't know how to respond to Bakugo, Yue Shanyou suddenly shoved Bakugo aside and stood in front of Izuku, asking with great concern:

"Midori, are you alright? You came to rescue me because you were worried about me, right?!"

"Ah...that!!"

While Midoriya was completely bewildered and unsure how to answer, Bakugo Katsuki spun around and shoved Yue Shan aside again, roaring menacingly:

"You damned woman, get out of my way! Fei Jiu, do you think you're stronger than me just because you have some gear?!"

"Explosive bastard, I'll kill you!!"

"Come on! You giant woman, who's afraid of who!?"

Yuu Gakuyama and Katsuki Bakugo were locked in a fierce battle. Izuku Midoriya took advantage of the fight to slip away and unexpectedly ran into Ochako Uraraka at the door.

"Um... Midoriya-kun, thank you! This is the second time you've saved me!!"

Ochako blushed as she thanked him, then ran straight into the classroom, not daring to say another word to Midoriya.

"........."

Izuku Midoriya was utterly speechless. He hadn't thought much about it at the time; he had only considered what he could do to protect his classmates.

However, after the League of Villains' invasion, U.A. High School has also increased its security, and recently, the hero teachers have often been seen patrolling the area.

In addition, one of Izuku Midoriya's wishes for coming to U.A. High School has been fulfilled: he has gotten closer to All Might!

"You've come, Midoriya-kun!"

In All Might's teachers' lounge, Izuku Midoriya arrived at the agreed time.

"All Might, what's wrong?...Million-senpai!?"

"Hey, Midoriya!"

In the lounge, besides the frail Allmight, Mirio Togata was also there.

"I see. Since Senior Million is doing a hero internship at Nighteye's Agency and often works with All Might, it's understandable that he knows about All Might's current situation..."

Before All Might could even begin to explain, Izuku Midoriya's rambling had already thoroughly analyzed the situation, leaving All Might and Mirio Togata exchanging bewildered glances. This kid gets into the zone way way too fast!

"Well... in short, you've analyzed the situation quite clearly. The reason I called you here today was to let you meet with Million."

"Yes, I understand! Senior Baiwan is also a very powerful hero!"

Izuku Midoriya was talking excitedly, making Mirio Togata scratch the back of his head in embarrassment. Sometimes, being admired by a junior like this really requires a thick skin.

"Secondly, there's something else I want to say. After the U.A. Sports Meet, I'd like you and Miriam to do an internship at Nighteye Detective Agency!"

"Hey hey hey!! But All Might, I'm not a student in the Hero Course yet!"

Startled by the sudden surprise, Midoriya was somewhat at a loss. All Might had only said that if he performed well enough, he would be promoted to the Hero Course, but he never expected that even a Hero Internship would be arranged for him now.

"Because I think Nighteye has a lot of experience teaching children like you, I hope you won't blame me for taking it upon myself!"

"How could that be! To be able to intern with All Might's former assistant is my dream!!"

Izuku Midoriya was thrilled. He never expected All Might to do so much for him, which made him feel incredibly excited!

"Then it's decided. After the sports meet, you'll go with Million to Nighteye to report for duty!"

"Okay! Yes! Please take good care of me, Senior Baiwan!"

"No problem! Midoriya-kun!"
