I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Midori, I heard you're using Akira's gear at the sports meet this year!"

"Uh... Yue Shan?!"

Midoriya was terrified. The man in front of him, Yue Shanyou, was now covered in black energy, as if he would turn into a giant and devour him in one bite!

"We're competitors in this sports meet!"

"So, Midoriya, you'd better watch out!!"

Izuku Midoriya was covered in cold sweat. Yue Shanyou's words were clearly a declaration of war, which made him extremely worried. He was afraid that he would have a very difficult time competing in this sports meet!

Afterwards, as the sports meet was about to begin, the head referee asked Bakugo, who had ranked first in the entrance exam, to give his declaration of entry!

"Declaration—I will definitely be the champion!!"

The entire venue erupted instantly. Bakugo's extreme declaration made him a thorn in everyone's side, and everyone would take the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

"Is the match finally about to begin...?"

Midoriya clenched his fist to boost his confidence; his goal this time was undoubtedly to seize the championship!

Chapter 42 Preliminary Rounds: Obstacle Race

"The first project that will determine everyone's fate this year is, to put it bluntly, the preliminary rounds. Every year, a large number of students are eliminated in this stage with great regret!"

"that's it!"

As the head referee pointed at midnight, a screen appeared in the stadium, displaying the words "Obstacle Course Race" in large letters.

"An obstacle course?!"

While the students present were all surprised, Midoriya carefully analyzed the situation. This preliminary round was very advantageous to him; his equipment already gave him a speed advantage, and with the addition of other accessories, overcoming obstacles would be no problem...

Midoriya Izuku continued his rambling analysis until midnight when the rules had been announced.

"Everyone, please stand behind the starting line immediately!"

Upon hearing the referee's words, all the students scrambled to grab the front row positions, for in a race, the earlier you are, the better!

"3-2-1!"

"The match begins!!"

At midnight, a signal was given, and all the students scrambled to get started, but...

"So narrow!!"

Although the gate to the starting line is quite wide, it became completely congested when the students started running together. They were so crowded that they couldn't run at all.

However, in this situation, one student rushed out first, and at the same time, a path of frost formed beneath his feet, freezing the feet of all the students who were stuck in the crowd.

"Hitomi, a student from Class A of Hero Course, gave a brilliant performance right from the start!"

As the announcer, "Voice Hero" Mike naturally recognized the student immediately: Todoroki Shoto, one of the top students in Class A.

At the same time, Midoriya's figure also stood out from the track, overtaking the students who were blocking his way, and quickly caught up with Todoroki to rank second.

"This is Midoriya from the support team. He actually managed to escape by climbing over the wall?"

As Mike gave his surprised commentary, the light screen in the stadium revealed the scene inside the tunnel, with cameras at various points along the track broadcasting the footage to the audience.

In the scene, Midoriya, who was blocked by most of his classmates, used his roller skates to run to the side of the passage, then jumped up and stepped on the wall. Then, a surprising scene appeared. Midoriya steadily stepped on the wall and climbed over the obstacles of the crowd on the track.

"Flywheel: Rock Climbing"

The equipment that Famu Ming painstakingly created has many functions, including the then-obsolete "spider glove" design, which incorporates the function of climbing walls into roller skates.

Using this feature of his roller skates, Izuku Midoriya overcame the obstacles, and with the speed advantage of the roller skates, he quickly caught up with Shoto Todoroki.

"Sorry, Todoroki! I have to go now!"

After greeting Midoriya, he took the lead and sprinted ahead on his roller skates. Todoroki, not one to stand idly by and watch Midoriya overtake him, stepped on another icy path and surged towards Izuku.

However, as expected, Midoriya's thrusters ignited, instantly increasing his speed and widening the distance between him and Todoroki. The speed at which the ice spread could not keep up with Midoriya.

"Teacher, isn't this a bit unfair for the support team?!"

Seeing Midoriya take the lead using his equipment advantage, the lagging students complained to the head referee, Midnight, saying, "How are we supposed to catch up with him if he's this fast?!"

"No! No! First of all, the support department allows the use of equipment, and everything else they did that was even more illegal has been banned, so you should be thanking yourselves!"

Midoriya's homeroom teacher, "Power Loader," had given Midoriya prior notice. This equipment was a compromise, allowing Midoriya to bring it. Otherwise, all the students would have been eliminated at the start, and the sports meet would have been pointless.

Since the referee, Midnight, had said so, the students couldn't refute it and could only chase after him with all their might!

"Midori! Don't think you can get away so easily!!"

After most of Class A had run off the track, Yue Shanyou took the lead and started chasing. Her Giant Size Quirk was suddenly activated, and the female giant appeared, occupying the entire track!

With each step like an earthquake, Midoriya looked back and saw that Yue Shanyou was running at a speed of more than ten meters per step, and was about to catch up with him!

"Yue Shan! Calm down! Calm down!!"

The person Yue Shan held in his hand was none other than Ochako Uraraka. The two of them had temporarily formed an alliance to help each other in this sports meet. At this moment, Ochako was calming Yue Shan, who was emanating a dark aura.

"Don't worry, I just accidentally smash my equipment to pieces sometimes, Midoriya definitely won't blame me!"

As Yue Shanyou muttered to himself, Midoriya, who was ahead of him, dared not slack off any longer. He used his roller skates and other equipment to speed up and get away from Yue Shanyou's pursuit.

With one running ahead and another chasing behind, Midoriya soon realized why this preliminary round was called an obstacle course. In front of him were the giant robots that appeared in the entrance exam, and there were even more than ten of them, each tens of meters tall, making them completely unbeatable opponents.

At this moment, Izuku Midoriya dared not slow down at all. Behind him was the menacing Yuu Gakuyama. If he stopped and got caught, he would be finished. He rushed towards the giant robot without slowing down, and the rocket backpack on Midoriya's back came in handy.

The powerful thrust propelled Midoriya into the sky. After surpassing the height of the giant robot, Yuu Gakuyama caught up with him, and his enormous hand reached out to grab Izuku.

Despite the urgency of the situation, Midoriya did not lose his composure. He used the thrusters on his arms for a second push, escaping the hand that was already within reach and overcoming the giant robot obstacle to escape!

"Midori!!"

Just as she was about to grab Midoriya, Yue Shanyou was blocked by the giant robots in front of her. Filled with resentment and anger, she kicked the obstacle in front of her with a sweeping leg.

"Die!!"

With a sweeping kick, the giant robot, which even Midoriya couldn't handle, was instantly reduced to a pile of scrap metal by Yue Shanyou. At the same time, the students who had just arrived swallowed hard. This was terrifying!

"Quick! Run!!"

Looking back at the situation, Midoriya didn't dare to stop. As soon as he landed, he immediately went full speed ahead. If he fell behind and got caught, he would be dead!

Having vented her anger, Yue Shanyou's body suddenly shrank back to its original size.

"Yue Shan?"

"It's been three minutes. I need to rest and recover before I can continue using my personality."

Yue Shanyou replied to Ochako that her current maximum usage time for the Giant Size Quirk is three minutes, after which she must wait for a period of time before she can activate it again.

Meanwhile, Todoroki and most of the students in Class A had just reached the robot obstacle. After learning that Midoriya had already run across, they didn't dare to slack off and all used their own unique abilities to run across as well.

"This is....."

Izuku Midoriya's speed advantage allowed him to quickly reach the second obstacle. Before him was a large pit composed of steel cables and rock pillars. The pit was so dark that its depth was unknown, and the only way to get through was to climb the steel cables.

With his classmates from Class A of the Hero Course already chasing after him, Midoriya used his roller skates to move along the steel cable!

"The one in first place right now is Midoriya from the Support Department. It seems like the obstacles are useless to him. He just walks straight across the tightrope!"

Mike, who was broadcasting live, naturally introduced the details of Midoriya, who was in first place, while the other students who were lagging behind were working hard to catch up.

Chapter 43 Preliminary Rounds: A Battleground Race!

Because he needed to maintain his balance while climbing the steel cable, Midoriya's speed suddenly dropped, while the other students from Class A of the Hero Course caught up aggressively from behind.

"Dekisugi, you stop right there!!"

With explosions constantly erupting from his hands, Bakugo Katsuki, using the recoil from the explosions to levitate, relentlessly pursued Midoriya.

"I won't let you get there first, Midoriya-kun!"

Similarly, there's Shoto Todoroki, who froze a path through the steel cable, allowing himself to pass unimpeded, while others continuously chased after him.

On the other side, after their gigantic quirks were canceled, Yuu Gakuyama and Ochako Uraraka, who had only managed to reach the second obstacle on foot, were panting heavily. At the same time, another person arrived beside them.

"Kukuku, other people's babies are so amazing!"

"I'm so happy that Midoriya won first place wearing someone else's baby clothes!"

Faming deliberately covered his mouth and laughed, and he was right next to the two of them, which made Yue Shanyou and Ochako both emanate black energy!

"This woman in front of me! How annoying!!"

"I'm not going to play with you guys. I want to see how Midoriya performs while wearing baby clothes."

Wearing a different set of equipment, Famu Ming launched a steel cable that pierced the rock platform, pulling him across while simultaneously landing steadily on the other side with his jet-propelled shoes.

"........."

Of the two girls, Uraraka Ochako, whose face clearly showed her displeasure, was the first to speak:

"Yue Shan, your personality has recovered, hasn't it?"

"It's barely usable now?"

"Let's go then!!"

The girls' alliance has joined forces again!

At the very front, Izuku Midoriya had already passed the second obstacle, while Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo were standing side by side with him, and the two of them were just as fast as Izuku in passing the second obstacle.

"Bakugo!"

"I understand, a two-faced face!"

Upon hearing Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo's words, Izuku Midoriya instantly sensed danger. Could it be that these two meant something?!

As Midoriya became more alert, Todoroki and Bakugo attacked simultaneously. The ice path created by Todoroki surged towards Izuku's feet, just like at the beginning. Just as Midoriya was about to take off to dodge the attack, Bakugo used the explosion to propel himself forward and jumped onto Midoriya's head, pressing his hands directly onto his shoulders!

Bakugo slammed Midoriya back to the ground, and at the same time, the ice from the blast froze him instantly! Midoriya Izuku lost all ability to move!

"You two!!"

"I'm sorry, Midoriya-kun, but you're too much of a threat!"

"Tch! I didn't expect to have to team up with the Two-Faced Man to deal with you. This has really taken me a lot of trouble! What a waste!!"

Having reached a consensus at some point, the two trapped Izuku Midoriya together and then headed towards their final destination.

"This is amazing! Midoriya was actually trapped by Todoroki and Bakugo working together! The first place ranking has changed hands! Todoroki and Bakugo are now tied for first place!"

The change in the situation, explained by Mike, caused a huge uproar among the audience. The teamwork of the Hero Department this year is really amazing, and that student from the Support Department is also quite strong!

Izuku Midoriya was dumbfounded. Just as he was trying to figure out how to break free from Shoto Todoroki's ice, he suddenly felt a dark shadow obscuring the sky. He looked up and saw it was Yuu Gakuyama!!

Like a mountain range descending from the sky, Yue Shanyou landed directly in front of Midoriya Izuku, and the ground shook violently when he landed!

"Yue... Yue Shan!!"

It was Yue Shan You who, after recovering her gigantic quirk, suddenly grew to a huge size and carried Ochako in her hand. At the same time, Uraraka also reduced part of Yue Shan's weight. With her full-force jump, she directly crossed the second obstacle and arrived in front of Midoriya Izuku!

Midoriya's face turned ashen. He had been caught by the most terrifying person, and he was now unable to move. He was truly doomed!

Surrounded by black mist, Yue Shanyou grabbed Midoriya Izuku from the ground, then crushed the ice and held Midoriya in her hand!

As Midoriya closed his eyes and awaited death, Yue Shan did not become angry and crush his equipment. He only heard a voice in his ear:

"Li Ri! Are you ready?!"

"Ready!!"

Opening his eyes, he saw Ochako in Yue Shan's other hand. She touched him, and Midoriya was immediately surprised! Weren't these two here to mess with him?!

"I'll let that woman know that you, Midoriya, became number one! It wasn't just her help, but also mine!"

"There are families here too!"

As Yue Shan expressed his sorrow, Ochako Uraraka echoed his sentiments, while Midoriya was held in Yue Shan's hand as if tossed around!

"Go! Midoriya!!"

With a powerful throw, the gigantic Yue Shanyou, combined with Ochako's ability to eliminate gravity on Midoriya's body, sent him flying straight toward the finish line like a bullet!

Meanwhile, Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo had already reached the third obstacle, a large area of ​​landmines. Although the explosive damage was small, the impact was enough to knock people over, and the fall would cause a large-scale explosion. It was an absolutely wicked trap!

Because Izuku Midoriya was trapped, Todoroki and Bakugo only had each other as their opponents, and the two of them started interfering with each other, which slowed down their progress considerably!
