I, without any personality, become a hero!

"When I first dreamed of becoming a hero, I didn't try anything at first. It wasn't until I met All Might and Akaya-sensei that I understood everything."

"I was just a 'Quirkless' person, but with the help of Akaya-sensei and All Might, I went from being a negative number, unable to become a hero, back to 'zero.' So I will never forget what my true nature is, nor will I forget the kindness of Akaya-sensei and All Might."

"Although your speech was very emotional, Midoriya-kun, are you really sure about this? If you want to back out now, it will be too late."

After hearing Midnight's warning and advice, Izuku Midoriya gave a thumbs-up to indicate that he was fine.

"Actually, I've already thought about it. After I make my own belt, I'll name it 'ZERO,' and the full name will be 'Kamen Rider ZERO.' Pretty cool, right?"

"........"

Everyone present was speechless. So that was what this guy was planning. They had really wasted their time thinking about him.

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

With the school internship program fast approaching, all the students in Class A have been assigned to work at the hero agency. Today, the students of Class A gathered together in the cafeteria to discuss the topic.

"Tsunade, you've received a lot of invitations from hero agencies. Which one did you finally choose?"

"Go to the No. 2 Hero's Hero Agency."

"Huh... No. 2 Hero? Isn't that Todoroki's father, 'Flame Hero' Endeavor!?"

"That's right, it's that perennial No. 2."

Listening to Yaoyorozu Momo and Todoroki Shoto's conversation, Izuku Midoriya felt for some reason that Todoroki's description of his father Endeavor was full of malice, constantly mentioning "No. 2"... It felt like he was targeting No. 2 heroes, just like Akaya-sensei.

"Hey, Deku... no, Izuku! What about you?"

Despite his habitual use of derogatory terms, Katsuki Bakugo quickly corrected himself. This hot-tempered boy had accepted his defeat at the hands of Izuku Midoriya and was now gradually correcting his mistakes and shortcomings.

"As for me... I went to Nighteye's Agency, All Might's old partner's place."

"You... you really are highly regarded by All Might."

There's nothing to be jealous of. Everything Izuku Midoriya has achieved is the result of his own hard work. It's only right that the champion of the U.A. Sports Meet receives such preferential treatment, and no one would be dissatisfied.

"Me! I'm going to the Mountain Heroine's side!!"

"Forehead....."

Seeing that classmate Sepu was excitedly sticking his head over and drooling, everyone turned their heads away in unison, suddenly feeling ashamed to be classmates with him.

"Hooray! I'm going to 'Musketeer's' hero agency."

"Huh? Isn't that a famous combat hero? Uraraka, are you sure it's okay for you to go to the agency of a martial arts hero?!"

"Of course! At next year's U.A. Sports Games, I'm going to beat you all to a pulp."

Watching Ochako Uraraka energetically throw a punch, none of the students present intended to disturb her. Who knows, this Ochako might become incredibly terrifying once she mastered all the fighting techniques.

"Now everyone has a place to go, right?"

"Of course, none of us will be left behind by you, Midoriya!"

Kirishima Eijiro's fist gesture: Although Midoriya Izuku was the champion of the U.A. Sports Meet, the other students would not back down. They would come back to compete for the title next year.

Thus begins the student internship program at U.A. High School!

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

"Ah—it's Uncle Akaya!"

"Has Huili been behaving herself?"

"Yes! Eri is a good girl and listens to her grandfather."

"Shie Hassaikai" is a name of a yakuza organization that many heroes are familiar with. However, in this era of professional heroes, the once powerful yakuza organizations have gradually declined, and "Shie Hassaikai" is no exception.

After arriving here, Akaya Kaiun did many things, one of which was to recruit the "Shie Hassaikai". At this time, Chisaki had not yet used Eri to create a drug that would nullify Quirks.

It's a pity about Eri's father and Kota's parents, but Akaya Kaiun doesn't have the ability to travel through time. It's already quite an achievement that he was able to ask "Yog Bubble" to send him to the exact time. There are some regrets that he really can't make up for... Perhaps "himself" who becomes a hero has that potential.

"Chisaki, what are the replies from the other yakuza organizations?"

"Sir, most organizations are very interested in what the League of Villains stole from U.A. High School. After all, the fact that it has caused such a stir among the government speaks volumes about its value... It's just that a few organizations have declined our invitation."

"Hmm, it doesn't matter... Afterwards, you can contact Die and give him the list of organizations that declined the invitation. I don't need any stumbling blocks in my way."

"Understood, sir."

Listening to Chisaki and Akaya Kaiun's conversation, Eri couldn't understand what the two uncles were saying, but she probably understood that it was something very important.

What can be said about Chisaki? His loyalty to the Shie Hassaikai was actually very high, which is why he hated the heroic society that caused his home, this yakuza organization, to decline and gradually perish, and wanted to destroy it.

Chisaki is the second-in-command of the Shie Hassaikai. After the League of Villains announced their cooperation plan and demonstrated their power, this man, who was determined to restore the organization, pledged his loyalty to Akaya Kaiun. As for the old leader... well, I'm sorry, but he should just stay home and spend time with his granddaughter for now.

The Japanese government and the heroes' search seemed fruitless, but in reality, a terrible darkness completely blinded them. This was an action carried out by the entire class. The yakuza organizations, which were gradually heading towards extinction, were not willing to end so completely. Many people like Chisaki were waiting for an opportunity to rebel against the entire hero society, and at this time, the League of Villains gave them hope.

The deterrent power of "all for one" has never disappeared. After learning who was fighting All Might, the League of Villains became a partner that many yakuza organizations were willing to cooperate with, because they had only one goal... to destroy this despicable hero society.

Everything was brewing under the cover of darkness, like a riverbank about to burst its banks. All the resentment and anger of those dissatisfied with the hero society were directed at the "League of Villains," and all that was needed was a single match to ignite the powder keg.

Unifying all the enemy organizations and yakuza groups in Japanese society is a rather troublesome process. The simplest way is to eliminate those who are unwilling to join, so that there can be no mishaps in order to pave the way for the grand plan to come to fruition.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't Izuku be interning at the Hero Agency by now?"

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

"Yo!"

"Senior Baiwan, please give me your guidance!"

The two people who met at the entrance of U.A. High School, Izuku Midoriya, was led to the Nighteye Agency by Mirio Togata, because All Might was really busy and it was impossible for him to do such a thing himself.

"Well done, first year! I watched the replay of the U.A. Sports Meet, and you really shone in the competition."

"No, no... In the end, it was all thanks to Akaya-sensei's strength."

Izuku Midoriya, scratching his head awkwardly, felt incredibly embarrassed by the constant praise he'd received lately. He figured he'd only be able to handle the compliments once he created his own belt.

"Alright, let's go! Let's go see the gentleman."

Led by Tong Xingbai, after taking the subway to another city, they arrived at the location of a building, which was the location of "Night Eye Agency".

Without much trouble with introductions or preparations, after Mirio Togata opened the office door, Izuku Midoriya immediately saw Nighteye himself, a man wearing glasses who looked very serious and earnest.

"You're Izuku Midoriya, right?"

Yes, please take care of me!

Upon hearing Nighteye call his name, Midoriya quickly bowed. As a student who had come to intern, he couldn't afford to be impolite.

Since he was directly introduced by All Might, Nighteye obviously wouldn't make things too difficult for Izuku Midoriya, but he asked with some concern:

"What's your hero name, 'ZERO'?"

"Um... this is to thank All Might and Akaya-sensei for their help, which brought me back to 'zero' from a negative number, allowing me to pursue my dream of becoming a hero."

"Is that so? Let's move on from this topic..."

Although his words seemed to indicate a lack of interest, the slight smile on Nighteye's lips clearly showed that he was very satisfied with Izuku Midoriya's answer, and he felt that he got along very well with this boy.

"Did All Might tell you about Nighteye's current mission?"

"Hmm...we've been investigating intelligence regarding the 'League of Villains'."

"That's pretty much it. That enemy organization is hiding too deep; there hasn't been a single word about them for the past few months."

Sitting in his office chair, Nighteye rested his chin on his hands, his glasses reflecting a light that obscured his gaze.

"But before that, the hero 'Ingnum' was injured and hospitalized by the hero assassin 'Stein.' We learned from him that a member of the 'League of Villains' was working with Stein."

"Shigaraki Tomura..."

Clenching his fist, Nighteye shouted the person's name fiercely. He didn't pay too much attention to Izuku Midoriya's reaction, after all, some of the information about the League of Villains was provided by Midoriya, and he was also one of the parties involved.

"As I followed this lead, I discovered something worrying..."

After hesitating for a moment, Nighteye spoke directly to the two people in front of him and gave them instructions:

"Now I have an important task for you and Million. Listen carefully."

Nighteye picked up a photograph, which showed a man with a bird's beak—it was Chisaki himself.

"This is Chisaki, the young leader of the 'Shie Hassaikai'... Recently, he's been in contact with many other yakuza organization leaders. It's normal for yakuza organizations to meet and discuss things, but I've noticed he's been frequently contacting yakuza groups that are rather hostile to heroes."

"Furthermore, the fact that the true former leader of the 'Shie Hassaikai' hasn't shown up makes me think this is very unusual."

"So I'd like to ask you, Miriam, to go to the 'Shie Hassaikai' and find out what's going on. Your 'Penetration' quirk makes it hard for you to expose yourself, is that alright?"

"Leave it to me, sir!"

Seeing that Mirio Togata confidently accepted the mission, Izuku Midoriya hesitated for a moment, but he still asked a question.

"Mr. Nighteye, do you believe there's a connection between the 'Shie Hassaikai' and the 'League of Villains'?"

"I'm not sure, but under the current circumstances, we can't afford to slowly gather intelligence, so we should try to pay attention to and investigate any yakuza organizations that are acting strangely."

"Hmm...I understand."

Izuku Midoriya knew Nighteye was right. With the League of Villains lurking in the shadows, the heroes had to investigate everything they could think of; they couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

"That's all for now. Remember, don't clash with the 'Shie Hassaikai' and expose yourselves. Your safety is the top priority."

"learn!"

The mission was assigned, and this was Izuku Midoriya's first mission as a trainee hero. Although he had done a lot of work as "Kamen Rider Faiz" before, perhaps that's why Nighteye felt comfortable entrusting the mission to the two of them.

Only after Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata left his agency did Nighteye adjust his glasses, revealing a cold gaze.

"If the League of Villains is after the belt, then Izuku Midoriya has a very good chance of luring the enemy out."

Nighteye's true plan and thoughts are different from All Might's concern about Izuku Midoriya's safety. Nighteye is making use of the boy without hesitation. It would be even better if he could lure out the League of Villains.

Chapter 41 "The Eightfold Abode of the Dead"

After the U.A. Sports Meet, Izuku Midoriya undeniably became a very famous figure. The "Quirkless" hero student, "Kamen Rider Faiz," and the overwhelming champion in the sports meet all made many people curious and interested in him.

So now... the two who are preparing to head to the "Shie Hassaikai" have already attracted a lot of attention and exclamations on the subway, even before Izuku Midoriya has said that he has arrived at his destination city. Just like Izuku Midoriya's admiration for All Might and his love for many heroes, the rising star of U.A. High School who is about to become a hero will also be widely admired by the public in this hero society.

““ZERO,” this won’t do… drawing too much attention makes it impossible to conduct investigations discreetly.

Because they were engaged in hero activities, Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya addressed each other by their hero names. However, Izuku Midoriya corrected Mirio, saying:

"Senior, please continue to call me 'FAIZ' for now. 'ZERO' is the hero name I plan to use after I officially graduate and debut."

"Hey, is this okay?"

"Well, right now I'm just a student, not a proper professional hero yet."

The two people who were chatting on the subway arrived at their destination city. Izuku Midoriya first went to the nearby "Don Quijote", a parody clothing store that is popular in Japan. Since he did not know about the covert operation mission beforehand, Midoriya did not prepare any equipment or props to disguise himself.

After spending about 20 minutes getting out, Izuku Midoriya, who usually looks rather honest, was dressed like a small-time thug, while Mirio Togata didn't need any special disguise, because his combat suit was a necessary piece of equipment to work with his Quirk. Besides, Mirio, who used "penetration" for infiltration, didn't have the problem of being detected.

"You've memorized the location of the target, right?"

"Yes, I remember it perfectly well."

Heading towards the mansion where the "Shie Hassaikai" is located, Nighteye and Izuku Midoriya discussed the detailed division of labor for the next mission. After all, this was not something a student experiencing a hero training activity should be doing. However, due to his trust in Izuku Midoriya's abilities and other ulterior motives, Nighteye issued such an unusual mission order.

"Next, I'll mainly be using my 'Penetration' quirk to infiltrate the 'Shie Hassaikai' to gather intelligence. Since this is actually an illegal and irregular infiltration operation, it's absolutely crucial that no one else discovers it."

"However, the gentleman has great confidence in my 'personality,' so you don't need to worry too much about any issues being exposed."

The "Shie Hassaikai" is a legal yakuza organization in Japan. If his infiltration is discovered and evidence is left behind, it will bring him a lot of trouble and consequences. However, he is not worried about this problem. His "penetration" ability may not be very strong in direct combat, but it should not be underestimated in such reconnaissance and concealment operations.

"What do I need to do, Senior Million?"

"You? Of course, you don't need to do anything."

Mirio Togata gave Izuku Midoriya an OK smile with a thumbs-up. Although Nighteye had instructed Izuku to act with him, he knew that the main task would be done by Mirio himself. The seemingly dangerous and difficult mission was as easy as taking a swim for Mirio, who has the "Permeation" Quirk.

"I'll sneak in from underground into the 'Shie Hassaikai.' FAIZ, you just need to keep an eye on the people's movements outside the mansion. The main thing is not to make any obvious moves that might expose yourself."

"understood."

Any futile action would only expose his identity and cause trouble. Izuku Midoriya knew the importance of doing his job well, especially with such a high-risk covert infiltration. Naturally, it was most suitable for Mirio to go alone.

After discussing the details of the operation, Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya arrived at their target location, where the gate of the "Shie Hassaikai" could be seen from a street corner.

"FAIZ, you can move around freely a bit further away from here later. I'll contact you when I come out."

After saying this, Toru Mirio disappeared into the ground as if dissolving in water. What followed was the moment for this "one for all" successor favored by Nighteye to shine.

"Let's go take a look from a higher vantage point."
