I, without any personality, become a hero!

"That guy is the man who beat me, Bakugo Katsuki!!"

Bakugo's words made Ochako and Yuu lower their heads in shame. It was fine if others said that, but the two girls didn't want Bakugo to indirectly encourage Midoriya in front of them.

Imagine you're a Kamen Rider fan, but because the latest Kamen Rider series is of poor quality, someone who usually hates Kamen Rider suddenly appears in front of you, praising this latest Kamen Rider series as "absolutely amazing"... It feels like your beloved Kamen Rider has been chewed up by a dog.

Regardless of the opinions of the students in the audience, the battle between the two on the stage continued unabated, or rather, it was a one-sided attack, with Midoriya simply dodging desperately.

"Midori, where's your wire?"

Shoto Todoroki, who was constantly attacking Izuku Midoriya with ice and fire, discovered that his opponent had never used steel wire to retaliate against him. Todoroki had been on guard against this move by Midoriya.

"Steel wire..."

Diving past Midoriya's fiery outburst, Todoroki shifted his head and charged towards Shoto Todoroki with "King of Storms." Todoroki, naturally, wouldn't let his guard down with Midoriya's obvious attempt to get close, and he unleashed both freezing and flame attacks simultaneously.

Midoriya had no choice but to retreat. Todoroki's attacks were too powerful; once touched, one would be immediately eliminated. He was now using the high mobility of the roller skates to circle around Todoroki.

They cannot use techniques that could cause death, because this is a match in a ring, and this rule binds the two of them. At the same time, neither of them can use such techniques to seriously injure the other.

He couldn't raise the temperature of the flames too high because the intense heat was too deadly, and the same applied to freezing; he dared not use the low-temperature freezing that could shatter the body.

Midoriya is similar; since it's a sparring match between fighters in the ring, the steel wire is only for entanglement and capture, and he wouldn't use it to cut his classmates.

This rule restricts the strength of both players, preventing Midoriya and Todoroki from defeating each other for a long time...

However, judging from the current situation, Todoroki Shoto has a great advantage because the combination of burning and freezing can relieve the burden of his Quirk's limits, making him like a perpetual motion machine that never gets tired, constantly launching attacks on Midoriya Izuku.

After dodging the continuous attacks of ice and fire, Midoriya was now panting heavily. The continuous high-difficulty dodging maneuvers had pushed his stamina to its limit.

"Midori, it's about time you finished...."

Looking at his opponent, Izuku Midoriya's face was covered in sweat, partly from the intense heat of the Todoroki Flame, but mostly from his own exhaustion.

"He probably can't hold them off now..."

With Midoriya seemingly at his physical limit, Todoroki felt he was about to reach his limit as well... He unleashed both flames and ice simultaneously, preparing to exert all his strength once more to unleash his ultimate technique, determined to completely defeat Midoriya Izuku this time.

"I...I haven't given up yet!!"

Izuku Midoriya, who was speaking haltingly and panting heavily, bent over with his hands on his knees, looking exhausted. He was indeed too tired to run anymore.

"They're really tenacious!!"

Todoroki Shoto sincerely admires Midoriya Izuku's unwavering attitude. As a Quirkless person, he is able to fight to this extent. Todoroki truly agrees with Midoriya's words!

"Do I want to become a hero who protects everyone's smiles...?"

Todoroki was also moved by Midoriya's words. He had longed for the same thing when he was a child... But it's not too late now!

Todoroki clenched his fist and roared at Izuku Midoriya in front of him:

"Thank you, Midoriya! I understand my dream now, so I'm going to win this match!!"

The clenched fist burst into flames, melting the ice pillars created by the surrounding ice. The interplay of ice and fire prepared for the re-emergence of the ultimate technique, a massive explosion of flames that could sweep across the entire sports stadium.

Seeing this, Cement Man immediately used his Quirk to create obstacles around the arena again. The match between these two students was really too troublesome; it was a complete nuclear explosion!

"Wait a moment!!"

Just as she climbed back to the referee's table, she saw that Hō was about to unleash another powerful attack, so she immediately rolled over and ran away to hide. She didn't want to be blown away again!

Looking at Todoroki Shoto, who was preparing to decide the final outcome, Midoriya Izuku was also ready and nodded in response to Todoroki's words!

"Ah—so, I won't lose either!!"

Todoroki, facing the words he had truly shouted out, responded to Midoriya with a smile despite his sweaty face, and completed the move he had been preparing for so long!

"Hey, it's time for my counterattack!!!"

Before unleashing his ultimate technique, Midoriya took a forceful step forward, connecting his "Death Gloves" to the ground with his hands, gripping the steel wire tightly in his hands. He accelerated with "King of Storms," ​​and as Midoriya retreated, he yanked the steel wire in his hands!

Cracks appeared on the arena floor, forming a dense, spiderweb-like pattern as Izuku Midoriya pulled on it!

"What?!!"

Shoto Todoroki was shocked and confused. He was about to unleash his ultimate technique, but it was too late!

Midoriya pulled back the steel wire, and the spider webs that appeared all around Todoroki emerged from the arena, revealing themselves to the astonished gazes of the crowd, taking the lead just before Todoroki could unleash his ultimate technique!

With a wave of his left hand, two steel wires emerged from the ground and bound Hong's feet!

With a pull of his right hand, a steel wire wrapped around Hong's right fist, binding his arm and body together!

Finally, with a cross of his hands, all the steel wires flew off the ground, binding Todoroki Shoto so tightly that he couldn't move at all!

"A shocking reversal! What happened? What's going on? Why is Todoroki tied up with steel wire?!"

Mike, the "Voice Hero," exclaimed in surprise, and the entire audience stood up in astonishment. It was so sudden! What on earth happened?!

With his body bound by steel wires and unable to move, Izuku Midoriya seized the opportunity to drive "King of Storms" to rush in front of him, grabbing his throat with his hand and pinning him to the ground.

"Sorry, Todoroki!"

"General!!"

"........."

Todoroki remained silent; he had indeed lost... With Izuku Midoriya at close range and choking him, he had no way to resist.

"I surrender..."

The entire audience fell silent. Just when no one expected it, and just as Todoroki was about to finish him off with his ultimate technique, it was actually Izuku Midoriya who subdued Todoroki!

"The champion of the U.A. Sports Festival! Izuku Midoriya!!!"

The referee announced at midnight that Shoto Todoroki had finally conceded defeat, and the champion of the U.A. High School Games was born: a Quirkless student named Izuku Midoriya.

"Ooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

A thunderous applause erupted as the entire audience spontaneously rose to their feet to offer their warmest congratulations to the crowned champion. This U.A. Sports Meet was absolutely spectacular, even more impressive than the previous third-year games! It's something they'll remember for a lifetime!!

"Scorched..."

Endeavor rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. What on earth happened... He had seen his son's performance firsthand; there was nothing wrong with him, he had already exceeded his usual level... How could they have lost such a promising situation!

"Midori-kun... can you tell me how you buried the steel wire?"

Standing on the ring, Midoriya, who was still untying the steel wires binding Todoroki, heard a question from Todoroki Shoto.

"Hmm—the steel wire was buried using this."

Midoriya pointed to the "King of Storms" under his feet, but Todoroki was full of questions. The steel wire was buried with roller skates?

Seemingly knowing that Todoroki didn't understand what he meant, Midoriya immediately demonstrated.

He connected the steel wire from the glove to the "King of Storms," ​​and then the gears of the roller skates transformed, embedding the steel wire into the blade-like gears. Midoriya took a step.

As the sharp gears sliced ​​through the rock face of the arena, steel wires were also embedded inside.

"I see!!"

Suddenly realizing what was going on, Todoroki Shoto thought, "No wonder Izuku Midoriya didn't use the steel wire to attack me at first. He was secretly preparing an ambush."

"Well, in the end, I still won because of my equipment."

Izuku Midoriya awkwardly scratched his head. If it weren't for Akira's equipment, he really wouldn't know how to fight Todoroki Shoto.

"No, I lost because of your resolve..."

Shoto Todoroki shook his head and confirmed that he understood the difference between himself and Midoriya: it was in their resolve to become heroes!

Chapter 64 The Sports Meet Ends

"Young Midoriya, congratulations! I witnessed your outstanding performance!"

"Um—thank you, All Might!!"

The U.A. High School sports meet has ended, and of course, there was an awards ceremony. Izuku Midoriya won first place as the champion, followed by Shoto Todoroki, who lost to Midoriya and came in second. Katsuki Bakugo and Shirofumi Ooshiro, who were eliminated in the semifinals, shared the third place.

On the awards stage, in previous years the chief referee would present medals to the athletes, but this year was different—everyone was eagerly anticipating the appearance of that hero.

"I am coming!!"

With a drawn-out voice, and the lines everyone remembered, All Might descended directly from the sky into the center of the stadium, as the audience's excited shouts echoed through the sky.

This is All Might, the number one hero worshipped by everyone. As the "symbol of peace," he works as a teacher at U.A. High School, and this year's sports day award is undoubtedly his.

After presenting awards and hugs to the third and second place winners, All Might personally presented the medal to Izuku Midoriya, a symbol of the champion's glory.

"That's truly outstanding!"

Looking at Midoriya, who was overjoyed after being awarded the prize by him personally, All Might was genuinely happy for the boy. He had personally proven himself through hard work—that even without a Quirk, he was no less capable than anyone else!

The U.A. Sports Festival has ended, and the champion has been crowned... and now Izuku Midoriya is busy!

First, the business administration students caught him, then they all surrounded Midoriya to observe and evaluate him. As the sports meet champion, he was the business administration students' main focus of publicity, which was an unavoidable part of the sports meet...

Later, news media caught up with Izuku Midoriya for a champion interview, and they focused on asking him if he was the "Steel Wire Reaper"—but Midoriya remained silent and did not answer, so the reporters assumed that he was the "Steel Wire Reaper".

Finally, there was a phone call from his mother, Inoko Midoriya, her voice filled with joyful tears as she congratulated him. Midoriya understood his mother's state—his family had a hereditary tear duct that made it impossible for her to stop crying when she got excited.

The U.A. Sports Meet has now come to an end...

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

In a dark, enclosed room in a high-rise building, a person with a tumor on their head and no eyes is "watching" television. Why is it that he has no eyes, yet says he is "watching" television?

The person's five fingers extended into black, metal-like branches that inserted directly into the television, and the images playing on the television were directly transmitted to his brain and formed.

On television, the program broadcast the U.A. High School Sports Meet, an annual event that is usually shown live on television.

"Third grade, travels to millions, Quirk is 'Penetration'?"

"This doesn't seem like something as simple as just penetrating."

The man propped his head up with one hand and used the other to help him "watch" the TV. On the TV screen, Mirio Togashi used an unprecedented amount of power in a third-grade competition, knocking over his classmate who was his opponent.

"That Allmight guy really found an excellent successor!"

The man looked slightly troubled. During the League of Villains' invasion of USJ, the black mist had brought him a message that he needed to be careful of a student named Mirio Togata.

After gathering intelligence on Toru Mirio, the mastermind behind the League of Villains was quite troubled. All Might's successor was too outstanding, and compared to his own successor, he couldn't bear to look at him anymore.

At that moment, the first-year sports meet was being broadcast on television, and Izuku Midoriya's figure caught the men's attention.

"This child, I remember he had no personality, right?"

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

The U.A. Sports Meet has ended. Although the intense and exciting competitions are unforgettable, the students must return to their studies. In the classroom of Class A of the Hero Course.

"Everyone performed very well at this year's sports meet. Most of the students who made it to the finals were from our class. It's a pity you didn't win the championship."

Aizawa Shota, the homeroom teacher of Class A, spoke heartbreaking truths with his perpetually deadpan expression. Although Todoroki Shoto, who came in second place, didn't say anything, Bakugo Katsuki, who came in third place, was already looking furious because the students from Class B had come to mock him after the sports meet.

"Hey hey hey, isn't this the person who said he would win the championship in the athletes' oath at the sports meet? Where's the champion? Where's the champion!?"

The boy with the smug look on his face is Neito Monoma, a student in Class B. For some reason, he doesn't like Class A. Now he takes every opportunity to mock Bakugo. As a hot-tempered explosive, Bakugo can't stand it, but someone else makes a move before him.

The massive fist delivered a karate chop to Monoma Neito's neck, knocking him unconscious.

"I'm very sorry, that's just how this guy's mouth is."

A girl with orange hair and a single ponytail bowed to Bakugo apologetically. She was Kento Ichika, the class representative of Class B, and also a kind of big sister figure in Class B.

Although Bakugo hadn't lost his temper at the time, the sting of not winning the championship was still lingering in his heart, and he would definitely give anyone who brought it up a hard time now.

"The sports meet is over. If there are any regrets, we can work harder next year. I have two pieces of news to tell you today."

Mr. Aizawa, with his perpetually expressionless face, looked at the students below who all had "I knew it" looks on their faces and said:

"First, after the sports meet, it will be time for hero internships. Hero agencies will send you invitations, or you can go to designated agencies that cooperate with the school."

As soon as Aizawa Shota finished speaking, the students below the podium began to whisper among themselves.

"So that's it!"

"After all, it's a tradition at U.A. High School."

"I want to go to 'Mountain Heroine's' place!!"

The students in Class A, who were familiar with the previous arrangements of U.A. High School, were not surprised. Of course, the student who spoke rudely was punched to the ground by Yue Shan. Trying to take advantage of her older sister Yue Shan in front of her younger sister was simply courting death.

Looking at the students talking to themselves, Aizawa Shota wasn't angry. That's how U.A. High School is—free-spirited with few rules. But he still had to finish what he had to say.

"Secondly, a new student will be joining Hero Class A."
