After finishing lunch, Izuku Midoriya wandered around Akaya Kaiun's office, looking around. Then he noticed something conspicuous: a metal belt inside an open box.
“Kaixa...”
Reading the English inscription on the belt, Izuku Midoriya understood what it was. Just like his own "Faiz," it was a rider belt made by Kaiun Akaya.
"This is the second Kamen Rider belt, and it's almost finished. Thanks to 'Faiz' for data collection, the second Kamen Rider system has been greatly improved."
"Akagaya-sensei... Is it alright to leave something this important here?"
“No problem, Kaixa’s phone isn’t here, so even if someone takes the belt, she can’t use it.”
"Oh yeah..."
Thinking about the key transformation item on the Rider Belt system, Izuku Midoriya realized that he needed a cell phone and the belt together to transform, but then another problem arose... Where was Kaixa's cell phone?
Izuku Midoriya thought for a moment but decided not to ask. After all, this was a very important secret, and Akaya-sensei was probably keeping it safe. He didn't need to worry about it.
"Oh right, there's All Might's Hero Basics class this afternoon, I'll go and help teach the class too."
"Ah?"
--------------
In the afternoon, All Might was standing next to Akaya Kaiun with a pleading look on his face. Despite being the instructor of this class, he acted like this, making one wonder who was really the teacher of the Hero Course.
"Thank you so much, Akaya-sensei... Aizawa recommended me to contact you, please help me!"
"I mean... is it really necessary to go this far...?"
The reason All Might looks so troubled is that although this No. 1 hero is the greatest hero, he is not a qualified teacher. Perhaps the students don't mind All Might teaching them in that manner, and they can even chat for a whole class period without any problem, but other teachers will mind.
Shota Aizawa is a very serious person. This is true as the eraser hero "Eraserhead" and naturally also as the homeroom teacher of Class A in Hero Course. All Might lacks many things as a teacher, so Shota Aizawa bluntly points them out and tells the No. 1 hero to go and seek advice from Kaiu Akaya. The teaching ability of the first-year homeroom teacher in Support Course is obvious to everyone.
Feeling incredibly embarrassed, All Might specifically asked this support subject's homeroom teacher to help him during his first class of the first year of Hero Course A, hoping to learn something from the experience.
"Okay, what lesson have you prepared for today? Let me see?"
"Having students compete in groups, with one side playing the hero and the other the enemy, is very heroic, isn't it?"
"Too outdated, rejected!"
Completely disregarding All Might's instantly pale face, Akaya Kaiun casually took the A-class student files and flipped through them, then said directly:
"The first step is to help students recognize the gap between themselves and others. Sitting still and observing the world will never lead to growth, so we'll do it this way..."
All Might told everyone in Class A to put on their hero costumes and assemble in a line at the training ground. He struck his usual hero pose to ease the awkwardness, while Akaya Kaiun, seeing the somewhat nervous Class A students, shouted loudly:
"Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, step forward!"
The two, bewildered, obediently followed orders and came out. Then, Akaya Kaiun gave the command:
"You two are teaming up, and your opponent is a single person."
"Izuku Midoriya, step forward!"
Chapter 20 English High School: Battle
"What!?"
When they saw Izuku Midoriya step out of the line, both Katsumi Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki were stunned for a moment. Could it be that Akaya-sensei was planning to have the two of them team up to fight Izuku Midoriya?
"You two team up, and your opponent is Izuku Midoriya. Remember to give it your all!"
"Hey! Are you underestimating me?"
Bakugo, who has a rather fiery temper, immediately questioned me. Bakugo has never really respected Izuku Midoriya since childhood, and the difference in their "quirks" has created a deep generation gap between them.
Although he was knocked out in the entrance exam by this guy's "Wrecking Ball", Bakugo is absolutely confident in his true strength. To have a "Quirkless" person as his opponent... or even team up with someone else, is this teacher out of his mind or joking?
Todoroki Shoto had the same question. Although he had only just met Midoriya Izuku today, he knew from the self-introduction this morning that Izuku was a "Quirkless". No matter what, it was too strange to have someone without a Quirk fight against him and another classmate.
"Teacher Akaya, you don't mean to!"
All Might understood the whole story in an instant, and immediately pulled Akaya Kaiun aside and whispered his question.
"You want Midoriya to use the belt? But wouldn't that completely expose yourself!?"
“That’s right. The last operation to lure the League of Villains has already run into a lot of problems. If, as you say, the enemy has their eyes on the Rider Belt, then we absolutely cannot let them target Izuku Midoriya again.”
"Anyway, this isn't a big secret, and the enemy will find out sooner or later. After all, it's too shameful for a teacher to let the enemy target his students and do nothing. Let's just spread this news now."
"But if you do that... you'll become a target of the League of Villains..."
All Might hesitated somewhat, not because he disagreed with Akaya Kaion's approach, but because, as the creator of the Kamen Rider system, it was more important to keep Akaya Kaion's existence a secret at this stage.
"As an adult, I am not so weak as to let a student take the risk for me. That's all."
"Sigh... I understand."
All Might, having been persuaded, knew that Akaya Kaion's actions were ultimately for the protection of Midoriya Izuku, and he had no right to stop him. Meanwhile, the person who had achieved his plan simply smiled slightly.
The news needs to be leaked in advance to avoid arousing suspicion from U.A. High School. So, a good show should be about to unfold soon.
"Midori, there's no need to hide anything. Show me your true strength."
"But... Akaya-sensei, if this happens..."
The mysterious conversation between All Might, Akaya Kaion, and Midoriya Izuku left the students of Class A completely bewildered. Did these three have some kind of ambiguous relationship? It felt like there was some kind of gossip going on!
"Speaking of which, Midoriya-kun doesn't have a hero outfit?"
"Yeah! He's wearing sportswear, but what's that belt around his waist? Is it some kind of mechanical device? It looks kind of weird."
"Seriously, how is Midoriya-kun going to fight against Todoroki-kun and Bakugo-kun? Is Akaya-sensei really not joking?"
The students of Class A of the Hero Course began to whisper among themselves, but Akaya Kaiun didn't care about others' whispering. He simply gave Midoriya Izuku a serious instruction:
"This is an order. As a student of U.A. High School, you must now obey your teacher's instructions."
"but....."
There might still be some resistance in his mind, but Izuku Midoriya came to U.A. High School to become a hero, so the first meaningful lesson that Kai'un Akaya, as his teacher, is giving Midoriya is:
"As a hero, you can't lack confidence. Win this battle to prove your 'strength'... Even though you, Izuku, are 'Quirkless,' you can be stronger than anyone else!"
"learn!"
Inspired by Akaya Kaiun's words, Midoriya Izuku placed his hands on his belt, ready to activate his transformation, but suddenly paused, realizing something he had overlooked... He turned his head awkwardly and asked:
"Teacher Akaya... you created the Knight's Belt, so strictly speaking, it doesn't count as part of my 'strength'..."
"It's alright, I'll teach you how to make a knight's belt later. Consider this an advance payment of your power."
"This will work?"
Seeing that Akaya Kaiun gave a thumbs-up to show that there was no problem, Midoriya Izuku could only scratch his head helplessly, hoping that Bakugo Katsuya would not come looking for trouble for him afterward.
"All right...."
"Stop dawdling! Show us what you've got!!"
Bakugo Katsuki, who was already quite impatient with waiting, had no interest in listening to a lot of nonsense. If they wanted to fight, they should get to it... The hot-tempered Bakugo wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge for his humiliation during the entrance exam.
Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it anymore. Izuku Midoriya took the FIAZ phone from his pocket, entered the transformation code "555," and inserted it directly into the empty slot of his Rider Belt. The transformation system was activated.
"Transform!"
"Standing By"
"Complete"
At that moment, under the gaze of everyone in Class A, the Rider Belt changed form, and a futuristic mechanical armor suit covered Izuku Midoriya's entire body, revealing "Kamen Rider FIAZ".
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Bakugo Katsutoshi, who had absolutely no interest in the news, was completely bewildered, while Mineta Mineta, amidst the Class A students, immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Is it 'Kamen Rider FIAZ'?"
"What? Isn't this the very famous pro hero from not long ago?!"
"I haven't seen any news about him lately. Could it be that 'Kamen Rider FIAZ' is actually Midoriya-kun?!"
"But... could it be someone else transforming? That belt must be some kind of powerful equipment or item, right?"
Upon seeing this, the students of Class A, who were filled with surprise and discussion, immediately turned their attention to Akaya Kaion. It was clear that "Kamen Rider FIAZ" was inextricably linked to Midoriya Izuku and this teacher.
"Ahem!" Having prepared his words, Akaya Kaiun cleared his throat and explained:
"The 'Kamen Rider FIAZ' that appeared in the news recently was actually Izuku Midoriya in disguise. He had recently gotten himself into a crisis involving the enemy, so he played the role of a pro hero to help All Might lure them away. Of course, all of that is over now."
After Akaya Kaiun finished his brief explanation, Iida Tenya, who was very curious, immediately raised his hand to ask a question.
"Akatani-sensei, what's that belt that Midoriya-kun is wearing?"
"The equipment that allows me to transform into 'Kamen Rider FIAZ' is a very powerful new type of armored combat suit that I created. It allows even those without a Quirk to gain the immense power to defeat enemies after transformation."
"Wouldn't that be a bit too illegal... using powerful equipment and items in combat?"
Uraraka Ochako spoke timidly, but before Akaya Kaiun could answer, Yaoyorozu Momo offered her explanation first.
"My Quirk 'Creation' is actually about using the equipment and items I create to fight. If that Rider Belt belongs to Midoriya-kun, then it entirely belongs to his own 'strength'."
"Good answer. If you, Yaoyuu, want to further develop and utilize your 'personality' in the future, you can come to me to learn some prop-making knowledge."
"Thank you, Akaya-sensei. I'll visit you more often in the future."
Whether in the original world or in this world, Yaoyorozu Momo is an extremely intelligent girl. If this girl could acquire more knowledge about creation, her "creative" personality would become terrifying.
The preamble to the explanation has been finished, and now everyone's attention is focused on the electronic screen. Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki have entered the training ground, a battle area filled with abandoned buildings.
"Alright! Only by understanding the gap between ourselves and others can we work harder to close it and catch up. Keep your eyes open and don't miss this battle!"
As Akaya Kaion finished speaking, the battle between Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto's team and Midoriya Izuku began.
----------------
The three people entering the training ground from two opposite entrances avoided immediate contact and combat, and also gave the students time to discuss tactics—a very fair and reasonable arrangement.
"Kamen Rider FIAZ... I've heard of that name before. Not long ago, he assisted the police in arresting many enemies. Midoriya possesses combat experience far exceeding ours."
"Akagaya-sensei made us form a team to fight Midoriya alone, so he must have a certain level of confidence... You seem to have known Midoriya before, and you know something about his weaknesses, right?"
Todoroki Shoto possesses a strong quirk, and his cautious and meticulous nature allows him to analyze the current situation very effectively. Just as this student, who was seriously considering tactical plans, turned his head to the side, he discovered that his teammates had already disappeared.
A huge, booming explosion came from another direction. It was Bakugo Katsuki, venting his anger, bombarding the ruins of the building as he used this method to announce his location.
"You bastard! Get out here right now, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!!"
Bakugo Katsuki was yelling loudly. His anger level was always hovering between 50% and 100%. I really don't know where Bakugo gets so much energy to throw tantrums all day long.
Hiding in the shadows of a building ruin, Izuku Midoriya had naturally heard Katsuki Bakugo's roar and the explosion that echoed throughout the entire incident, but now was not the time to show himself.
Having experienced numerous direct battles with enemies, including the ferocious Spider Monster, and witnessed people die before his eyes, Izuku Midoriya is no longer the same person he once was.
Battle is the best place to train and grow. Midoriya, who may be a bit weak in normal times, is now very reliable when he enters battle mode. He can be described as a veteran who has been through many battles.
"Kakuja isn't a problem, but Todoroki... I don't know what his 'Quirk' is yet."
Having grown up alongside Bakugo, Izuku Midoriya understands Bakugo's fighting style perfectly. In a one-on-one situation, Bakugo would be 100% crushed by the current Izuku Midoriya. But the problem now is someone else... Shoto Todoroki.
Today is the first day of school. Izuku Midoriya doesn't know much about his classmates. He only knows that Todoroki is a student admitted to U.A. High School through a special admission program, so he must have an advantage in "Quirk" that others can't match.
Trying to figure out someone else's "personality" is actually a foolish thing to do. When neither side knows the other's fighting strength, the best thing to do is to just take action and subdue the other.
Having made up his mind, Izuku Midoriya silently disappeared into the shadows of the building. Now it was up to him to see if he could successfully subdue Shoto Todoroki first.
"You bastard! Where is he?!"
Katsuki Bakugo, who had been yelling and shouting in the battle zone for half a day, felt like an idiot. Not only did Izuku Midoriya not show up, but even Shoto Todoroki was nowhere to be found. It was a really infuriating situation.
Hidden inside an abandoned building, Shoto Todoroki cautiously peered through a gap in the wall. The lack of noise meant Bakugo hadn't encountered any enemies yet, which meant Izuku Midoriya hadn't shown up either...
He had originally planned to use Bakugo Katsuki as bait to lure out his opponent and then strike a fatal blow, but now Todoroki Shoto felt that his plan was still too naive.
"Because they know Bakugo too well, I'm their primary target now..."
"That's right, Todoroki."
"What!!"
In his shock, Shoto Todoroki was about to defend himself when he was pinned to the ground by an irresistible force. It was "Kamen Rider FIAZ"—Izuku Midoriya had successfully backstabbed him.
"Sorry, but compared to Kacchan... Todoroki, you're a bigger threat to me."
Kamen Rider FIAZ has many functions, so it's normal for it to have the ability to search with thermal imaging. Todoroki Shoto's hiding place was completely exposed to Midoriya. He silently sneaked up behind Todoroki and took the initiative to subdue this classmate whose "Quirk" was unknown.
