I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Is Midoriya having lunch with someone else? That's strange..."

Iida Tenya was quite concerned about what Mineta Minoru had said. After all, as the class representative of Class A in the Hero Course, he had a responsibility to care about the living conditions of each student. However, Uraraka Ochako's words dispelled his desire to investigate further.

"Midori-kun must be very busy. As a Quirkless individual aspiring to be a hero, the scope of his efforts must be completely different from ours."

"That's right... Come to think of it, he can only watch us take his 'personality' classes."

Yaoyorozu's addition, along with the two girls' words, made Iida Tenya realize that it was best not to investigate Midoriya's situation, since it was his privacy and secret.

Of course, the extra food prepared was for two people, Famei and Shinso. Usually, the three of them take turns coming to the cafeteria to prepare lunch. Now, they spend their free time in Akaya Kaiun's office, as the work on improving the FAIZ belt cannot be delayed.

Of course, during normal class time, Izuku Midoriya still came to the classroom. After all, he was just a student, and now he could only spend his extra time on the "Kamen Rider Faiz" belt, so as not to make things difficult for All Might and the teachers.

"I have something important to announce now."

In the afternoon class, the first thing Aizawa Shota said after coming to the podium was this. Immediately, all the students focused their attention and listened carefully. Their serious homeroom teacher said that he would never joke about important matters.

"The U.A. High School Sports Festival is about to begin in two weeks. Get ready to participate."

"What? It's the U.A. Sports Festival?!"

"As a student, you only have one chance a year to appear on TV, and you might even get lucky and be noticed by the Hero Agency!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!!"

All the students were filled with excitement and passion. Even Bakugo Katsuki couldn't help but shout out, and at that moment, Midoriya Izuku's right hand clenched tightly. The opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived... It was the U.A. High School Sports Meet.

In today's individualistic society, traditional sports competitions have lost their appeal because the differences between "personalities" make fair athletic competition impossible. Now, in Japan, the U.A. Sports Festival has replaced the Olympics. It is a grand competition among students from the best hero schools in the country and is a famous large-scale event held annually throughout Japan.

At that time, not only the audience and news reporters will come, but also many hero agencies will come to look for good talents. If you want to become a hero, you can't do it without showing your excellence to the public. The U.A. Sports Meet is also a place for students to show their characteristics and strengths.

Perhaps in the past, Izuku Midoriya had also thought about the wonderful idea of ​​showing off his skills at the U.A. Sports Meet and being appreciated by many hero agencies, but now it's different... Izuku Midoriya has become aware of this.

"Win first place in the U.A. Sports Meet! Take the championship!"

It's not wishful thinking, nor is it arrogance... it's something Izuku Midoriya must do; it's extremely important to him.

On the day of the U.A. Sports Festival, the event will be broadcast live on television channels across the country. Not only will ordinary people across Japan watch, but even enemies hiding in the shadows of society will be there to see it, since they want to get to know the new heroes that may emerge in the future.

The League of Villains will surely see that Izuku Midoriya is so convinced of this, so he will do the same thing All Might planned before, using himself as bait to lure out the bastards of the League of Villains.

Izuku Midoriya plans to complete the new form of "Kamen Rider Faiz" before the U.A. Sports Festival, so he can show off his newfound power to everyone. That guy will definitely see... that bastard who has Akaya-sensei's invention called Shigaraki Tomura.

Winning the U.A. Sports Meet in a spectacular fashion, using himself as bait to lure out the League of Villains—this is the only thing Izuku Midoriya can do right now. He's not going to just stand by and do nothing.

"If I am unable to fight the enemy right now, then I entrust the task to the heroes... I entrust it to All Might..."

"But... this is the only thing I can do now, the only chance I can have to lure out the 'League of Villains,' and I will absolutely not back down."

More determined than anyone else to win first place, Izuku Midoriya's goal is to become the champion of the U.A. Sports Festival!

Chapter 27 U.A. High School: Obstacle Course

The U.A. Sports Meet, an annual national event, is an event that U.A. High School students can only participate in three times from enrollment to graduation. It is an unmissable opportunity for students to showcase their abilities in front of everyone.

Not only will the event be broadcast by national television stations, but various hero agencies will also come to select promising talents. Basically, if a student can make a big splash at the U.A. Sports Meet, it means that their path to becoming a professional hero after graduation will be smooth sailing. They can become popular new hero stars right from their debut.

This time, however, the U.A. Sports Meet is different. The school has just been invaded by the "League of Villains," and teacher Akaya Kaion has been identified as having been taken away by the enemy. It is obviously unreasonable to hold a large-scale event right after being attacked by the enemy, but there is no other way... The U.A. Sports Meet is now an annual event that attracts the attention of the entire nation of Japan, not to mention that overseas countries are also paying attention to it.

Due to the Japanese government's full-scale cover-up of the incident involving Akaya Kaiun and the "League of Villains," very few people outside the country actually knew about it. In fact, most people were completely unaware that an enemy invasion had occurred at U.A. High School. Only two or three pieces of information occasionally appeared on the internet, and they were immediately censored by 404. It can be said that the secret was kept very secret.

This year's U.A. High School sports meet can almost be described as being held with a heavy heart. The defensive force is more than three times that of previous years. Because of the League of Villains, everyone is under a lot of pressure, especially All Might... He has been running around and busy lately, and even his iron body is starting to feel the strain.

The U.A. Sports Meet is an opportunity for Izuku Midoriya. He plans to load FAIZ's Accelerated Mode into the two weeks leading up to the meet and show this new form to everyone... He believes the League of Villains are very likely to take the bait.

It was a risky bait plan, but Izuku Midoriya couldn't worry about that anymore. This was the only way he could help. If it meant risking his own life to get a chance to rescue Akaya-sensei, then Midoriya would do it without hesitation.

Akaya Kaion is now just as important to Midoriya Izuku as All Might is; this boy would never allow the League of Villains to take away his teacher.

Izuku Midoriya only had two weeks to make use of, and after deducting his regular class time, there wasn't much left. He spent all his spare time in the office, and even stayed up all night at the school. He had to stay ahead of time.

The main force behind the modification of "Kamen Rider Faiz" is Izuku Midoriya. Akira Hatsume and Shinsoto are obviously not much help they can provide. Moreover, they also need to prepare for the upcoming U.A. Sports Meet.

Incidentally, Shinso has now transferred to the Support Department. Realizing that there's not much point in the General Studies Department, Shinso has decided to devote himself entirely to equipment and gadget manufacturing. If it's a "Quirk" that he doesn't like, then he won't use it. He'll use his proud inventions to arm himself and shine at the U.A. Sports Meet.

Izuku Midoriya is a respectable role model for Shinso Hitoshi. If someone without a Quirk can work this hard, how can someone with a Quirk that isn't weak not know to learn from others?

Akira has an exceptional talent for equipment manufacturing, while Shinso Hitoshi still needs to learn gradually. As for Izuku Midoriya... he was led astray by Kaiu Akaya from the very beginning. Did you think that ten months would only teach him some ordinary knowledge? Of course, it started with instilling advanced technology.

Although he hasn't learned much yet, Izuku Midoriya has indeed mastered a lot of advanced technology beyond this world, and all of this is intended to be used to modify "Kamen Rider Faiz".

With only two weeks until the start of the U.A. Sports Meet, it's neither a long nor a short time, giving other students plenty of time to prepare. But for Izuku Midoriya, it will take all his strength to barely catch up.

Having focused all his energy on improving the FAIZ belt, Izuku Midoriya stayed up all night, causing him to sway unsteadily during class. Shota Aizawa glanced at the student but didn't say anything. Although this teacher was usually very strict and serious, he was still very humane towards his students. Knowing what Izuku Midoriya had been busy with lately, Aizawa turned a blind eye and decided to give him a proper scolding after the sports meet.

"Hey, you two-faced guy!"

"What's the matter?"

Despite not liking the classmate who gave him the nickname, Todoroki Shoto responded to Bakugo Katsuki's shout out of politeness. After all, they had teamed up and been punished together before, so they couldn't be too distant.

"Are you confident you can beat that guy, Tokugawa, at this sports meet?"

"Midori... I don't know. He seems to be preparing something lately, maybe a secret weapon."

"Tsk... You've been hiding your strength too, haven't you? Your Quirk isn't just 'Ice,' it also 'Fire,' right?"

"It's different... I won't be using 'Fire' at this U.A. Sports Festival because an annoying person will be there."

When the topic turned to his "Burning" Quirk and his father Endeavor, Todoroki's expression turned cold, and even Bakugo could see the unspoken trouble in his heart.

"Forget it! Whether you use your full strength or not is your own business. I don't want to lose to that guy Fei Jiu again."

"I....."

Upon hearing Bakugo Katsuki's words, Todoroki Shoto hesitated. He and Bakugo had been defeated in their battle against Midoriya Izuku. Clearly, relying solely on the "ice" quirk was not enough to defeat that powerful enemy. However, the "fire" quirk was something Todoroki utterly detested, let alone using it in front of that man.

Todoroki's expression was hesitant and unnatural, just like Bakugo Katsuki. Although he said he didn't intend to lose to Midoriya Izuku again, he had no idea how to defeat "Kamen Rider Faiz". Winning against an opponent is not something that can be accomplished by shouting a few passionate slogans. Without sufficient strength, the only outcome is defeat.

For the first time, Bakugo Katsuki felt such immense pressure from Midoriya Izuku. It was unmatched... There was no chance of victory at all. This feeling of facing All Might was completely inexplicable to Bakugo.

"Give it your all..."

Now that things had come to this, this was Bakugo Katsuki's only thought... He dared not be arrogant enough to say that he could definitely win first place in the U.A. Sports Meet. Just dealing with Todoroki Shoto, his incredibly strong classmate, was extremely difficult, not to mention Midoriya Izuku... That guy had already left him far behind.

"Speaking of which, Midoriya isn't here either."

"Tsk...who knows what that guy is up to? We'll probably get what's coming to us at the sports meet."

"Hmm... This is the first time we've agreed on something."

Shoto Todoroki and Katsumi Bakugo were surprisingly in agreement regarding Izuku Midoriya's formidable classmate and rival, and that they absolutely could not underestimate him in the slightest.

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

Two weeks passed quickly, and as the day of the U.A. Sports Meet arrived, U.A. High School became as lively as a New Year's festival, with a long line of spectators waiting outside.

This is a large-scale event that all students at U.A. High School can participate in. It's not just the Hero Course students who can shine; the Support Course students who perform well will also be in the public eye, just like the regular course students. Every student is giving it their all today.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes! We tested it once yesterday, and there were no problems."

"Then we'll wait and see how you perform."

After greeting Shinso, Izuku Midoriya returned to Class A from the support department office and waited for the class to enter the venue together.

Shinso-jin will also be joining the support class team with Hatsume Akira. This student recently transferred to the support class, and it will be a good opportunity for him to use the equipment and props he made himself at the U.A. Sports Meet.

Additionally, Izuku Midoriya can also use the "Kamen Rider Faiz" belt at the U.A. Sports Meet, and as for why... everyone will find out later.

After Izuku Midoriya and his classmates from Class A of the Hero Course met up, everyone changed into their sports uniforms and entered the competition venue through the tunnel. When they arrived at the sports arena, which resembled the Colosseum in ancient Rome, a deafening roar of cheers erupted.

"So...so many people!"

Uraraka Ochako swallowed hard, a little scared. This was the first time she had ever seen such a big scene, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

"Li Ri, calm down and don't be nervous or excited. Next, we'd like you to give your contestant declaration."

"what?"

Hearing Izuku Midoriya's words, Uraraka Ochako, who was confused, then saw the head referee of the first-year division, "18+ Hero" Midnight, appear and take charge. After the teacher, who was acting as the host, appeared, he picked up the microphone and called out names:

"Please welcome the top-scoring freshman, Ochako Uraraka, to the stage to give her contestant declaration."

"what!!"

Urgently looking around, Ochako Uraraka saw all her classmates nodding and focusing their attention on her. Instantly, her head turned bright red and steam rose from the boiling kettle.

"Everyone... cheer up..."

Standing stiffly on the walkway, like a robot, Ochako Uraraka could only manage to utter these words before covering her face in embarrassment and running off... It was so embarrassing, this was just too much to ask!

"I'm so nervous."

"Hmm... I was just too nervous~"

"It's okay. At most, I'll embarrass myself in front of the whole country. I won't have to be afraid of embarrassment anymore."

Yaoyorozu Momo and Jiro Kyoka nodded and said something, but then Kaminari Denki ran over and said something malicious. Uraraka Ochako immediately covered her face and squatted on the ground... She didn't want to live anymore.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Be gentle!!"

As punishment, Kaminari Denki was poked in the ear by Kyoka Jiro's "headphone jack" quirk, and he begged for mercy in pain, regretting that he shouldn't have gone to cause trouble.

.........

Today's main event is still the U.A. Sports Meet. After the athletes finished their declarations, Midnight, the chief referee, announced the preliminary events. After all, it's impossible to have all the students in the school participate in the competition one by one, so naturally there will be a very brutal preliminary round with a frighteningly high elimination rate to filter out the majority of people.

"Obstacle Race"

The announced preliminary round event was this. Compared to the surprise of the other students, Izuku Midoriya didn't react much, since he already knew what the preliminary round event was...

"A total of eleven classes of students will participate in this competition. The course will circle the perimeter of the sports field, with a total length of about 4 kilometers."

"Freedom has always been our school's biggest selling point. As long as you're on the track, any means are acceptable."

"Of course, the preliminary round is called the 'Obstacle' Race, so there will be some 'small' obstacles on the course. Please look forward to it!"

After the teacher announced the race rules at midnight, all the students at U.A. High School gathered on the track and took their positions, waiting for the starting gun to fire before sprinting off.

"Huh? Midoriya, aren't you ready?"

Seeing that Izuku Midoriya was taking his time, seemingly still looking for a starting position towards the back, Kirishima Eijiro asked curiously, "Everyone is pushing and shoving to get to the front, why is this guy going against the grain and looking for a spot at the back?"

"In an obstacle course race, being in the lead doesn't necessarily give you an advantage; being further back might actually be more beneficial."

"Hmm... I don't understand, but I'm going to find a seat up ahead."

Although Kirishima wasn't very quick-witted, this honest student still felt that it was better to be at the front of the race. Izuku Midoriya didn't say anything about it... Anyway, the two smart guys, Hitoshi Shimono and Akira Hatsume, were currently at the back of the starting line.

After everyone had found their starting positions, the head referee, Midnight, prepared the flare gun.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Game start!"

The moment the starting gun fired, all the students charged forward like wild horses, but they immediately encountered their first obstacle: the gate at the starting line was too narrow.

The students were instantly crowded inside the door, unable to get out, while those who were prepared rushed out.

Is Midoriya behind us?

Shoto Todoroki, who had some doubts, started in the front position, and the moment the starting gun went off, he froze the ground and stopped a large group of people. Then he ran to the first place as if skiing on an ice track.

"You two-faced bastard, don't even think about running away!"

Katsuki Bakugo leaped out from the crowd of students, using the explosive force generated by his hands to propel himself forward. At this moment, he would absolutely not let anyone else take first place.

"You two won't get rid of us!"

The Hero Class A students kept chasing from behind, and incredibly, the entire class rushed to the front in the first instant. This remarkable performance astonished and impressed the audience and other students present. However...

"Hey! Is Midoriya-kun behind us?"

"That shouldn't be the case... I wouldn't be surprised if he was in first place, why is he in the back?"

"Speaking of which, I did see Midoriya looking for a starting point further back just now."

Upon arriving at the front track, the students of Class A noticed this strange situation and began to discuss it. Kirishima also thought of what had just happened, and now everyone was definitely feeling a bit odd... Izuku Midoriya shouldn't be falling behind, right?
