I, without any personality, become a hero!

As soon as Akaya Kaion finished speaking, one of the students stretched out his arm high, and Akaya Kaion smiled without saying a word and called out the student's name.

"Iida-kun, what's wrong?"

"Teacher Akaya, I've never heard of a course on equipment and items in the Hero Course before. Is it a new course?"

"That's right, it's a new course added this year."

After answering Iida Tenya's question, Akaya Kaiun casually picked up an electronic pen and turned around to write the word "Assistance" in large characters on the classroom's electronic blackboard.

"With the development of support items at this stage, rookie heroes need to learn how to use various items to deal with different situations. After all, 'Quirk' abilities are not omnipotent, and in emergencies, there is no time to wait for a hero with the corresponding 'Quirk' to come to your aid. Do you understand?"

"I don't really understand..."

Honest Kirishima muttered this to himself, mainly because his brain wasn't working very well and he didn't quite understand what Akaya Kaiun was saying. As a teacher who was trying to answer a student's questions, he naturally had to give an example to illustrate his point.

"The boy whom All Might rescued from the 'Sludge Enemy' incident 10 months ago was none other than Katsuki Bakugo."

When Akaya Kaion pointed at him, everyone in the class immediately focused their attention on Bakugo. His face turned as black as coal. If the person in front of him hadn't been a teacher at U.A. High School, Bakugo might have just given him a good beating.

"Actually, there were already several Pro Heroes on the scene at that time, but none of them had a Quirk that could deal with the mud enemies that were immune to physical attacks. Delaying them for too long would only put the hostages in danger. If All Might hadn't arrived, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Therefore, U.A. High School should learn from this experience and ensure that every future hero is proficient in using various support items so that they can avoid being helpless in critical moments."

"I see!"

After hearing Mr. Akaya's detailed explanation with examples, the students who didn't quite understand before suddenly realized that they should carry some portable gadgets with them in the future, as heroes need to be able to control emergency crises in time.

After being introduced by Akaya Kaion, all the students in Class A recognized Bakugo and felt that this guy was a "famous" figure.

"But... Akaya-sensei, there are only 19 students in the class, shouldn't there be 20?"

Ochako Uraraka noticed that one of the desks was empty. Iida Tenya had also raised this issue with the homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota, earlier, but then they saw "Eraserhead" teacher looking at them with a strange expression and not saying anything... Because they had just been frightened by the homeroom teacher's threat of expulsion, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Could it really be that they were being expelled?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any absences on the first day of school at U.A. High School. At the very least, they should show up. But seeing that this teacher, Akaya Kaion, seems very approachable, Uraraka couldn't help but ask a question.

"Actually, I was just about to say this, but coincidentally... Midoriya, come in."

As Akaya Kaion called out, the green-haired boy who had been waiting at the classroom door stepped onto the podium, facing all the students of Class A. At the same time, Bakugo Katsu's eyes widened... No wonder the name Akaya Kaion sounded familiar earlier; wasn't this the teacher who taught that good-for-nothing?

Now that Izuku Midoriya was standing in front of everyone, Katsuki Bakugo finally remembered everything. The hot-tempered man could no longer contain himself and roared:

"Deku, you bastard! What are you doing here?!"

"Bakugo-kun, please be quiet. Izuku Midoriya is a first-year student in Class A of the Hero Course. Isn't it normal for him to be here?"

While the others didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, Katsuki Bakugo roared even louder:

"This guy is just a 'quirkless' character, what right does he have to be in the Hero Course!"

"Kakuchan...I.."

When Midoriya Izuku tried to explain something, Akaya Kaiun gestured for him to shut up with his right hand. At this moment, it was naturally Akaya Kaiun, "his" teacher, who spoke up.

"Qualifications... I'll tell you now. The 100-point rival in the U.A. High School entrance exam was created by Izuku Midoriya. Do you have any more questions now?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the class was stunned. Except for the two special recruits, Todoroki Shoto and Yaoyorozu Momo, who looked completely bewildered... what were the others so surprised about? They seemed to have no idea what was going on.

The "Wrecking Ball," the hypothetical enemy that scores 100 points in the entrance exam, is now basically a nightmare for all the candidates who have taken the exam. That thing is so powerful that almost everyone is being chased around. Only Ochako Uraraka managed to defeat it thanks to her advantage of "zero gravity"... However, even this lucky girl knows just how powerful the "Wrecking Ball" really is.

When Akaya Kaion announced in front of everyone that the "Wrecking Ball" was created by Midoriya Izuku, everyone was immediately shocked, and most of them looked at Midoriya with resentful eyes... Now they've finally found their creditor.

"Impossible! You're lying to me... How could that guy, Deku, possibly...?"

Katsuki Bakugo was already somewhat incoherent. The shocking reality was too much for him to believe. After all, he had been knocked unconscious by "Wrecking Ball" during the entrance exam, and now he knew that it was Izuku Midoriya who created this thing... It would be a miracle if Bakugo could accept this reality.

"Although Izuku Midoriya is a 'Quirkless' individual, in my eyes, his 'talent' shines brighter than any Quirk. This is a fact acknowledged by all the teachers at U.A. High School, and it's also the disaster you all experienced during your entrance exams...isn't it?"

After hearing what Akaya Kaiun said, the students of Class A fell silent. It was an undeniable fact that this Midoriya Izuku's "talent" far surpassed any of theirs.

"Damn it! You bastard, Tokugawa, are you looking down on me?!"

Bakugo recalled that day ten months ago when Izuku Midoriya applied to U.A. High School and was ridiculed by himself and others. Then, on the same day, he encountered the "Sludge Enemy" and was saved by this good-for-nothing. From then on, the distance between the two of them grew at some point.

Bakugo, unaware of what Izuku Midoriya was up to, thought this "Quirkless" guy's ambition to become a hero was delusional, let alone his arrogant idea of ​​getting into U.A. High School... But how many times has cruel reality slapped him in the face today?

That bastard! Not only did he enter U.A. High School as a "Quirkless," but even my full power couldn't defeat his creation? Are you kidding me?!

Completely unable to believe this reality, Bakugo Katsuya started yelling and shouting without any regard for the fact that he was in the living room. His furious expression was almost as fierce as that of an enemy. The homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota, immediately sharpened his gaze and stood up from his sleeping bag.

"Watch your words, Katsuki Bakugo! This is U.A. High School, not a place for you to play house. Everyone who comes here aspires to be a hero. If you can't correct your shortcomings, then please leave."

"U.A. High School has no useless people!"

As a homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota doesn't have the same kind heart as All Might. If someone is a mediocre talent who can't become a hero, he can expel them on the spot and send them home. In fact... in the eyes of this "rubberhead," Midoriya Izuku is lacking in "Quirklessness," but in everything else, he is far superior to Bakugo Katsuya.

"hateful!!"

Despite his burning anger, Katsuki Bakugo could only forcefully stop himself. This wasn't the school he remembered... He aimed to become a hero, and he couldn't continue his reckless behavior at U.A. High School.

"Well... Mr. Aizawa, don't use such words to scare the students. Being too strict is not a good thing."

As the saying goes, one person plays the bad cop and the other the good cop. After the homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota, made a speech that silenced everyone, Akaya Kaiun smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Izuku, go and introduce yourself to your classmates. This is the beginning of your journey to becoming a hero."

"Understood! Thank you so much, Akaya-sensei!!"

After nodding his gratitude to his mentor, Izuku Midoriya mustered his courage and confidence, and the young man stood there by his own strength.

"My name is Izuku Midoriya, and my dream is to become a hero!"

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

"What are the leader's plans for the future?"

"Of course, this is a big move."

Kurogiri, who was in charge of acting as a messenger, was chatting with Shigaraki Tomura at the bar. This man, whose hobby was being an enemy and whose job was being a bartender, finished mixing the cocktail and pushed it to the person in front of him.

"Would you like to try some?"

"No... I don't like drinking..."

"What a pity, the chief quite liked the wine I mixed."

"Okay, tell me what you're going to do next?"

Without continuing their casual conversation, Shigaraki Tomura was most concerned about the mission given by the leader of the League of Villains. At this point, Kurogiri tossed a cell phone to Shigaraki Tomura.

“U.A. High School, there are things the leader has prepared there, toys that you might be interested in.”

"Huh? Interesting..."

As Shigaraki Tomura held the phone in his hand, a fanatical smile spread across his face as he looked at the English lettering "Kaixa" engraved on the surface.

"Then let's prepare for action!"

Chapter 19 U.A. High School: The First Lesson

"Now you've successfully enrolled in U.A. High School, but the real journey is just beginning."

During lunch break, Akaya Kaiun had met with the students of Class A of the Hero Course in the morning, introduced himself, and then left. He then told Midoriya Izuku to greet his classmates by himself. However, he had told Midoriya to come find him during his lunch break, so the two of them were now in the cafeteria together.

He said some encouraging words, but also warned and cautioned, using a carrot and stick approach to balance Izuku Midoriya's mentality. At this time, Akaya Kaiun's performance can be described as that of an excellent teacher.

"It's Akaya-sensei and Midoriya-kun! Their relationship must be quite special, right?"

"It's obvious! Akaya-sensei is said to be a new teacher who hasn't been at U.A. High School for long. He must be incredibly capable to become the homeroom teacher of the support course in such a short time. Midoriya, being 'Quirkless,' was able to enter the hero course; he's probably his last disciple."

"But Midoriya is amazing too! He's able to create a hypothetical enemy like Wrecking Ball, and his dream of becoming a hero as a Quirkless person is so inspiring!"

The students of Class A, who had become acquainted with Izuku Midoriya in the morning, started gossiping when they saw Kaion Akaya and Izuku Midoriya in the cafeteria. After all, who wouldn't want to chat a little more about such an interesting piece of news?

Once again, all he heard in the cafeteria was talk about Izuku Midoriya. Bakugo Katsu, his face dark, carried his food to a corner. He needed to calm down.

However, Izuku Midoriya didn't have time to comfort and accompany the somewhat withdrawn Bakugo. He was called to the cafeteria by Kaion Akaya to help bring an extra person's meal. Kaion Akaya also had lunches for two people. After preparing the four lunches, the two left the cafeteria and headed towards the Support Department building.

At U.A. High School, students in different subjects are located in separate teaching buildings, mainly because the content of their studies is completely different and the classroom layouts also vary. The classrooms for the Hero Course might still resemble classrooms, but the classrooms for the Support Course are more like workshops or factories; without the right tools, you can't make good equipment.

Upon arriving at the Support Department building, Izuku Midoriya followed behind Akaya Kaiun, looking around with a curious expression. Today was his first day of school and his first day in the Support Department building.

"Stop looking around. You'll be coming here often in the future, and you'll get used to it eventually."

"Forehead....."

He wanted to say that he was Izuku Midoriya from the Hero Course, but then he realized that Akaya-sensei was right. As a "quirkless" student, he seemed to be unable to learn many courses in the Hero Course. Wouldn't he end up spending more time in the Support Course?

After walking a short distance down the corridor, Akaya Kaiyun stopped in front of a large metal door. It looked exactly like a bank vault door, with a heavy security design. Akaya Kaiyun took out an ID card from his pocket, swiped it, and the steel door opened automatically after sensing the key.

Akaya Kaion stepped directly into the room from the doorway, with Midoriya Izuku quickly following behind. He looked around the place with some curiosity. The space inside was very large, and there were plenty of mechanical instruments. There were also two other people in this huge room.

A pink-haired girl was intently fiddling with something, seemingly trying to create equipment or props; another boy with purple, seaweed-like hair was holding a thick book, but judging from the way he kept scratching his head, it was as if he was looking at an incomprehensible book.

"Oh! Faming, you still have the heart to serve others. I brought you lunch."

"Thank you, Akaya-sensei."

At Akaya Kaiun's call, Shinso Hitoshi put down the heavy book and thanked him, while Hatsume Akira remained engrossed in his own little world, ignoring Akaya Kaiun's return.

"Ugh...really."

A sigh that had become commonplace was heard as Akaya Kaiun's shadow spread out and gently tapped Hata no Akira on the head, finally drawing the attention of this invention fanatic.

"This is Izuku Midoriya, my first student. Please introduce yourselves."

Akaya Kaiun, who had placed his lunch aside, looked at Midoriya Izuku's bewildered expression, while Shinso Hitoshi and Hatsume Akira immediately came over.

"You're Izuku Midoriya! I heard from Akaya-sensei that you created that 'Wrecking Ball,' it was so creative, it inspired me a lot!!"

Her eyes sparkled with light, and Izuku Midoriya bent back with some difficulty. The girl was too close, and he had no idea how to answer her.

"My name is Shinso Hitoshi, and my Quirk is 'Brainwashing'... I used to think that having this 'evil' Quirk was a misfortune."

"But after learning from Akaya-sensei that you, as a 'Quirkless' person, also dreamed of becoming a hero and have worked so hard to achieve what you have today, I feel very ashamed... 'Quirk' doesn't determine everything. Now I will also do everything in my power to make up for my shortcomings, and I will also become a hero!"

Unlike Akira's curiosity, Izuku Midoriya could sense the admiration in Shinso's eyes, which made him even more flustered... This was the first time he had ever been admired by someone else.

"Ahem... Let me introduce you to each other."

Akaya Kaion felt a headache coming on after hearing the two's unreliable introductions. In order to prevent Midoriya Izuku from continuing to be confused, he had to explain it himself.

"Hatsume Akira, a first-year student who enrolled in the support department this year. Because she is very talented, I plan to teach her more in my spare time, just like you."

Izuku Midoriya, who knows a little about Akira Hatagi, seems to think that Akira-sensei really likes to teach talented people... But then again, Midoriya still doesn't understand why Akira-sensei can recognize his "talent" at a glance. Perhaps he can find out from this Akira Hatagi student in the future.

"You're a first-year student in the General Studies department. Unfortunately, you were targeted and eliminated by 'Wrecking Ball' during the entrance exam... so this is definitely related to you."

"Uh... I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing Akaya Kaion's words, Midoriya Izuku could only look embarrassed. He hadn't expected the "Wrecking Ball" to be so effective. Back then, he had really put all his effort into making it in order to pass Akaya-sensei's test.

"It's alright. Even without a perfect imaginary enemy, I still wouldn't pass the entrance exam. The 'brainwashing' trait can't defeat other mechanical imaginary enemies."

"That's about it. I thought the entrance exam for U.A. High School was a bit unreasonable, so I looked through all the students' 'Quirk' profiles, and that's how I found this kid."

"I have to say that 'brainwashing' is more suited to being a villain than a hero, but that's precisely why... as a teacher at U.A. High, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so I took him in."

He then made up a reason, saying that Akaya Kaiun was determined to rescue him. He felt somewhat guilty towards Shinso Hitoshi in the original world, so at least he should help him achieve his dream here, right?

Using Izuku Midoriya's past to deceive people, Shinso Hitoshi was tricked into coming here by Akaya Kaiun. Simply put, he wanted to learn from Izuku Midoriya and learn some useful skills to make up for his "Quirk" shortcomings.

With Akaya Kaion leading the introduction, the three chatted and had lunch together. Despite it being their first meeting, they got along surprisingly well. Shinso Hitoshi idolized Midoriya Izuku and tried to learn from him, while Hatsume Akira discussed many ideas and inspirations with Midoriya Izuku. Without needing to do much more, the three quickly became close.

"This is the private office that Principal Nezu prepared for me. You could also call it my manufacturing workshop. There are many valuable things here, so the room has been reinforced with strengthening materials by Teacher Cement. If you want to break through the wall to get in, you might as well just break through the metal door."

"However, if someone tries to infiltrate using a special 'Quirk,' there's nothing we can do. Currently, there's no defense that can block all 'Quirks.'"

Listening to Akaya Kaiun's explanations and introductions while eating, Midoriya Izuku became somewhat curious.

"Why are you saying all this, Akaya-sensei? It's as if you're telling us how to invade this place."

"Nonsense... Of course, it's so that if you accidentally lose your ID card or forget something here, you can remember to ask someone to help you open the security lock from the inside."

As he spoke, he casually pulled three identity cards from his pocket and gave one to each of Midoriya, Shinso, and Akira. Akaya Kaiun then continued to give instructions:

"You are welcome to come to my office to study whenever you have free time. There are many books and materials here for you to browse, and the tools and materials are also very complete. Oh, and by the way!"

"Hatsume Akira, don't treat this place like your home. I don't want to come back to my office to find it clogged with a bunch of manufactured goods."

After specifically criticizing one person, Fa Muming deliberately turned her head away; she actually intended to do the same...

"As for the ID card, if you lose it, go to the third year and ask a senior named 'Mirai Togata' for help. His Quirk is 'Perspective,' which can help you open the locked door from the inside."

Akaya Kaiun explained everything in detail, but in reality, none of the three of them really remembered it. After all, who would be foolish enough to lose all three access cards? Besides, Akaya-sensei could open the door himself, right? But that's all for now; there's another story to tell later.
