I, without any personality, become a hero!

Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, who have been friends since childhood, have gone through different stages of life because of their "Quirks". Bakugo's excellent "Quirk" means that there are not many obstacles on his path to becoming a hero, while Izuku Midoriya, who has "no Quirk", is ridiculed even if he expresses his dream of becoming a hero.

It seems shameful to continue being friends with Izuku Midoriya, who has no Quirk. My childhood friend became a stepping stone after Katsumi Bakugo awakened his Quirk... right up until now.

Bakugo Katsu could sense that Midoriya Izuku was acting strangely. Despite being a "Quirkless" individual, he seemed to have transformed into a different person, going from a timid and hesitant boy to someone more confident.

Why would Bakugo feel this way? You see, Izuku Midoriya used to be afraid to look Bakugo directly in the eye. Every time he saw Bakugo Katsuki's fierce eyes, he would be so scared that he would lower his head. But recently, when they occasionally bumped into each other on their way home from school, Izuku Midoriya didn't show any fear in his eyes... or rather, he didn't take Bakugo Katsuki seriously at all.

It's possible that Izuku Midoriya was too busy exercising at the seaside park to notice Bakugo, but in any case, this obvious change in attitude caught Bakugo Katsuki's attention.

However, this is not worth Bakugo Katsuyuki's further investigation. In the eyes of this prodigy, even if Midoriya Izuku changes a lot, he can never surpass him. This is the confidence he has built up since childhood.

The afternoon class bell rang, and the first thing the homeroom teacher did upon entering the classroom was to clear her throat and announce something:

"Midori's mother came to the school at noon. It seems that Midoriya will not be coming to school anymore. As for the reason... it seems that he is studying with the teachers at U.A. High School."

"what?!"

Katsuki Bakugo was so shocked and surprised that he unleashed his "Explosion" Quirk without realizing it, and the desk in front of him collapsed onto the ground as a pile of rotten wood.

"Bakugo, please calm down. I know that the students are more or less surprised. After all, it is something to be envied that Midoriya is able to study with the teachers of U.A. High School."

The homeroom teacher calmly explained, so it wasn't surprising that Bakugo reacted this way. After all, when collecting students' college applications, only Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku had U.A. High School as their target school, and the two seemed to have had some disagreements at the time.

"No way! That Izuku Midoriya actually got a crush on a teacher from U.A. High School?"

"Could it be just empty words, an excuse to avoid coming to school?"

"That's possible... After all, Midoriya is just a 'Quirkless' character."

..........

The students started discussing amongst themselves, while Bakugo Katsutoshi's face darkened. The more he listened, the more unbearable it became, and he unleashed a deafening explosion with his right hand.

"Shut up! Are you laughing at me?"

"No...we were just talking about Midoriya..."

"So that means that 'quirkless' good-for-nothing gets noticed by the U.A. teachers? While I'm stuck being a fool at school?!"

"......"

Seeing Bakugo Katsuki completely enraged, everyone in the class shut their mouths and dared not say a word, for fear of provoking Bakugo.

Even though it had nothing to do with him, Bakugo Katsuki still felt incredibly angry. After school let out, he picked up his backpack and headed home alone with a dark expression.

When he reached a bend in the street, Bakugo paused for a moment, but then immediately continued on his way home. The other bend led to Izuku Midoriya's house, as Bakugo knew where it was because they were childhood playmates.

Go find Izuku Midoriya and ask him directly if he's really studying with teachers from U.A. High School, or if he's using some kind of method. Forget it... Katsuki Bakugo has no interest in humiliating himself.

No matter what, Bakugo's goal is still U.A. High School. Let's see if he really goes to U.A. High School to witness it all!

Then Bakugo arrived home, and his mother, Bakugo Mitsuki, who was sitting on the sofa, greeted him immediately upon seeing him return:

"Yo! You're back, you brat. Izuku from Inoko's family is studying with U.A.'s teacher. I think the teacher's name is Akaya Kaiun."

"Do you want to go too? Mom, I can go and try to get closer to Yinzi, maybe ask for a favor or something, no problem."

Hearing his mother, Bakugo Katsuki's, words, Bakugo Katsuki's face turned as black as coal. He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:

"You old hag, can't you just shut up!"

"You little brat, who are you calling an old woman! You think I won't kill you?!"

Bakugo Katsuki, who slammed his fist on the table, is a prime example of how Bakugo Katsuki's personality is inherited from his father and mother, while his temperament is entirely inherited from his mother.

Chapter 16 Wrecking Ball

In the end, Bakugo Katsuki never asked about Midoriya Izuku's situation. His arrogant personality and overflowing self-esteem made Bakugo extremely self-centered, basically with the mentality that he was the most important person in the world.

Regardless of what others might think, Izuku Midoriya didn't have the time to care about trivial matters. He was fully focused on the assessment project, which required him to create a decisive mechanical enemy within six months.

With his creative thinking already in place, Izuku Midoriya, who has aspired to be a hero since childhood, has a very deep understanding and knowledge of each "Quirk". Now, when he is asked to create a hypothetical enemy that can deal with most "Quirks", Izuku Midoriya has determined the best solution he can achieve.

The materials for manufacturing the mechanical imaginary enemy were directly applied for and provided by Akaya Kaion through U.A. High School, so Midoriya Izuku was able to obtain most of the finished materials. The next step was for him to use his creativity and skills to assemble and manufacture them.

"You must complete this assessment on your own, but you can ask me for help if you encounter any technical difficulties, since your learning has only just begun."

Izuku Midoriya kept Akaya Kaion's words firmly in mind. He used all the knowledge and technology he knew to manufacture the product, and only consulted Akaya-sensei when he encountered insurmountable problems. This "quirkless" boy knew that this was a test for him, and it would be meaningless if he could not overcome it through his own efforts.

For six months, he studied day and night, constantly supplementing his professional knowledge to broaden his thinking, while also working on the creation of mechanical imaginary enemies. Izuku Midoriya staked his dreams and future on these six months, which would determine everything.

The manufacturing work was still carried out at the seaside park, where there were plenty of readily available electrical parts and materials. Although it wasn't necessary to use these things to create a hypothetical enemy, it was important practice for Izuku Midoriya to use these materials to conduct manufacturing experiments and get used to his skills.

Of course, U.A. High School also allowed Izuku Midoriya to borrow their facilities and equipment to make the product, but Kaiu Akaya refused outright. He said he would wait until he proved that he had a talent that others did not have before he could enter U.A. High School with dignity.

As for the mechanical instruments that Izuku Midoriya needed, Kaiun Akaya brought them over in his shadow, which surprised Midoriya greatly.

"Akagani-sensei, can your 'Quirk' still hold things?"

"Yes, it's roughly the same principle as another dimension, where you can put some insignificant things into the shadow."

"That's amazing..."

Amazed, Izuku Midoriya was quite envious of some of the powerful abilities of this "Quirkless" boy. He had fantasized more than once since childhood about what it would be like to have a Quirk, but reality was just too cruel.

"Are you ready now?"

"Of course! I will do my best!!"

Faced with Akaya Kaion's question, Midoriya Izuku felt a surge of passion coursing through his body, marking the beginning of his dream of becoming a "hero".

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

Six months passed quickly, and Katsumi Bakugo graduated from middle school. What awaited him was three years of high school life, and this proud man naturally chose U.A. High School, Japan's best hero school and All Might's alma mater.

During this period, there has been no news about Izuku Midoriya, but Katsuki Bakugo did not bother to inquire. In his eyes, no matter what, Izuku Midoriya would never surpass him, which was something that was destined by his "Quirk" talent.

On the day of the entrance exam for U.A. High School, a long line of students came to the nationally renowned hero school to take the exam. Among them were many students who were nervous about the brutal selection process. One student, who was also a little apprehensive, stood in front of the teachers of U.A. High School and carefully introduced the mechanical imaginary enemy he had created.

"These are roughly the main design and functions. My abilities are limited, and I can only create mechanical hypothetical enemies like this..."

"NIEC BOY! Although I don't understand a word you're saying, it's definitely right to give praise at a time like this!"

"Voice Hero" Brescent Mack immediately offered words of praise and encouragement. However, rather than believing in Izuku Midoriya's invention, it was more accurate to say that he trusted Kaiu Akaya's judgment. This new teacher was already the homeroom teacher of the first-year students in the support department. Not only was his invention technology superb, but his judgment of people and his teaching methods were also top-notch.

Izuku Midoriya must be very capable to be recommended by Akaya Kaion. You know, it's unheard of for a teacher to vouch for someone with no Quirk to study at U.A. High School, and even plan to arrange for him to study in the Hero Course... But since they have already promised such a rigorous evaluation, they have to admit that the teachers at U.A. High School are convinced.

"This design is very creative. I must say, Midoriya-kun, you are a very impressive student, just like Akaya-sensei."

The original homeroom teacher of the first year of the support department is now in charge of the third year's homeroom teacher, the "Excavation Hero" power loader teacher. His job is to teach students in the support department, so when he saw Izuku Midoriya's invention, he naturally understood its excellence.

"Alright, we still need to see their actual combat capabilities, right, Akaya-sensei?"

"Of course, it is meant to replace the role of the original zero-score hypothetical enemy, but this time the exam rules will also need to be changed accordingly."

"No problem, let's do it this way."

Akaya Kaiun and Principal Nezu reached a consensus in just a few words. However, their simple discussion directly caused great harm to the students who participated in the entrance examination. They were as cruel as demons.

"Go Midoriya! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"No problem, Allmight."

Seeing the thumbs-up from his idol, Izuku Midoriya felt a surge of confidence. This was a mechanical imaginary enemy that had taken six months to design and improve, and as its creator, he should have full trust and expectations for it.

And so now... the entrance exams for U.A. High School have officially begun this year.

As in previous years, after all the candidates were gathered in the venue, "Voice Hero" Brescent Mike took the lead in organizing and explaining the rules. After a long string of boring nonsense, Mike finally got to the most crucial point.

"Depending on the type of imaginary enemy, the points awarded for defeating them vary. There are three types of imaginary enemies: 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points. Additionally..."

"In each venue, there is a hidden imaginary enemy. Defeating it will earn you 100 points."

"What!?"

Upon hearing Mike's words, all the examinees became excited. If they could defeat the imaginary enemy who scored 100 points, wouldn't they be able to pass the level in one go? They had to make sure that such a good thing happened to them.

"Of course, I would also like to offer a friendly reminder: if you encounter this imaginary 100-point rival, candidates who are not confident in their abilities should simply give up, because the score represents the strength they possess."

Mike kindly offered this reminder, but almost all the candidates ignored him. Who the hell cares about such a small detail? We must be the first to defeat that imaginary rival who scores 100 points.

"Alright... There are four exam rooms in total. Students from the same school, please take the exam in different rooms."

U.A. High School is incredibly wealthy, and the four entrance exam venues occupy an astonishingly large area. After Katsuhiro Bakugo boarded the school bus with a sour expression, he arrived at his exam venue.

"What are you waiting for? Get up there!"

As soon as the candidates arrived, the microphone's voice came over the loudspeaker. After a moment of surprise, the candidates rushed into the examination room like madmen. At this point, falling behind would be giving points to others.

"hateful!"

Katsuki Bakugo charged straight into the exam hall, using the explosions from his hands to accelerate to the front and leap to a 3-point mechanical imaginary enemy.

"Die! Die!!"

The powerful explosion struck the simulated enemy directly. Unable to withstand the devastating firepower, the simulated enemy collapsed into a pile of scrap metal. Bakugo then turned his vicious gaze to the other mechanical simulated enemies.

Just now, when "Voice Hero" Mike was explaining the rules, the screen showed what the three different scores of the imaginary enemy looked like, but it didn't show what the 100-point imaginary enemy actually looked like, so Bakugo couldn't make a move to directly grab the highest 100 points.

However, among the many test takers, there are always lucky ones. As Bakugo was constantly destroying the imaginary enemies to gain points, he suddenly heard a joyful shout from not far away:

"A perfect imaginary enemy!"

Just as Bakugo was about to turn around and sprint towards them, that person's voice suddenly rang out again:

"Wait! Holy crap!!"

The simulated street buildings roared, smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring vision, and then Bakugo saw someone next to him being sent flying backward at an astonishing speed, and then... nothing more....

"Plop," "Plop"....

With a heavy rolling sound, a large steel sphere about 2 meters in diameter emerged from the smoke and dust and came to Katsuki Bakugo's side.

"What is this... a 100-point imaginary enemy?"

With its unremarkable spherical shape, is this the 100-point imaginary enemy that Mike mentioned? Just as Bakugo was beginning to doubt whether this thing truly possessed 100-point strength, the giant steel sphere activated.

The steel claw launched from one end of the sphere locked onto the roof of a building not far from Bakugo, and then, using its inertia, accelerated and rammed into Bakugo Katsuki at a terrifying speed.

"grass!"

If Bakugo still didn't understand how that person had been sent flying, he was an idiot! If he had been hit directly by that thing, he would have been eliminated instantly. Facing the high-speed impact of the giant steel sphere, Bakugo immediately used his hands to create an explosive counterattack and dodge the attack. Then, the steel sphere smashed the buildings behind it into ruins.

Although Katsuki Bakugo has a bad temper, his combat instincts are top-notch. The moment the steel sphere hit the ground, he immediately used the explosive recoil to propel himself toward the 100-point imaginary enemy, and then launched a full-force bombardment at it.

However... without any damage, Bakugo's bombardment, which could turn other imaginary enemies into scrap metal in one blow, only left the surface of the steel sphere slightly blackened, without any trace of damage whatsoever.

"Hey! Are you kidding me?!"

Bakugo's eyes widened in disbelief, but the imaginary rival, who scored 100 points, wouldn't give these lousy test-takers another chance to attack him. The steel sphere accelerated in the opposite direction and rolled directly towards Bakugo. Seeing the obvious marks left by the road roller on the ruins of the building, Bakugo seriously wondered just how heavy this thing really was!

It escaped! His attacks were completely ineffective, and staying here would only be a waste of time. Bakugo Katsuyoshi now decisively prepared for a strategic retreat to collect some points, and then figure out a way to deal with it later.

Meanwhile, the proctors watched in silence as the students went from being full of confidence to crying and begging for their parents.

"Um... I mean... could someone die if they got hit by this thing?"

Looking at the images of various exam rooms on the screen, All Might swallowed hard and cautiously asked Izuku Midoriya beside him, "This thing was created by that boy Midoriya... it's a bit scary!"

"It shouldn't be..., right?"

"Wait, Midoriya! Why do you always sound so questioning?!"

"But... I designed it based on the idea of ​​a 0-point hypothetical enemy. If I were hit by that giant robot, it would be very dangerous, right? I thought U.A. High School had other safety measures or something."

"The problem is... the original imaginary enemy was 0 points! Yours is 100 points!! And who would dare to provoke an imaginary enemy that was originally 30 meters tall? I think we should stop this exam for now."

Feeling increasingly threatened, All Might suggested something, but was refuted by Akaya Kaiun, the mastermind behind turning this entrance exam into a living hell, who shamelessly declared:

"Don't worry! The 'Healing Girl' is already on site, and I've also specially invited some other people with 'healing' personalities to be there. As long as they're still breathing, they can be brought back to life."

"My God! Are you really trying to kill someone?!"

All Might, growing increasingly frightened as he listened, realized that if he didn't step in to stop it, U.A. High's reputation would be ruined today. Only then did Akaya Kaiun smile and shrug his hand.

"Actually, there's no need to worry so much. I've already installed safety valves inside these four hypothetical enemies. The internal gravity device will activate immediately just before they hit a person, diverting the impact force downwards. At most, they'll just be thrown into the air... They won't die."

"really?"

"Really? If I personally guarantee it, is it false?"

With Akaya Kaiun's guarantee of credibility, All Might finally felt relieved, as long as no one died... He felt sorry for those poor examinees.

"By the way, Midoriya-kun... what's the name of this 100-point imaginary rival?"

"As for the name... I discussed it with Akaya-sensei, and we decided to name it 'Wrecking Ball'."
