I, without any personality, become a hero!

"well!!!!"

These words caused an uproar in the class! School had already been in session for a while, and now there were still new students joining? Were they being played?!

Ignoring the overly surprised Class A students, Aizawa Shota turned towards the door and said:

"Come in!"

"Um......"

Approaching the astonished Class A students, the green-haired boy was someone they all recognized. He bowed and introduced himself:

"Hello everyone, I'm Izuku Midoriya!"

Chapter 65 Heroic Names

"Nonsense! We all know you!" Bakugo Katsuki slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring furiously at Midoriya Izuku and shouting, "Izuku, why are you in Class A? Aren't you from the Support Team?!"

Utterly embarrassed, Midoriya had spent ages trying to figure out the most polite way to make his entrance, only to be interrupted by Bakugo Katsuki before he could even finish his self-introduction. At that moment, Aizawa Shota spoke up:

"If the third-place finisher isn't good enough, he should just sit there quietly. This is the treatment the champion deserves!"

Since the homeroom teacher had spoken, Bakugo Katsumi, though furious, could only sit obediently in his seat, though he still stared at Midoriya Izuku with a fierce look.

"Great! Midoriya, come sit next to me!!"

"Um... Midoriya-kun, you can sit here if you don't mind."

Upon hearing this news, two girls were overjoyed and simultaneously extended olive branches to Izuku Midoriya, leaving the boy in an awkward situation.

"Alright, you two don't need to worry about Midoriya's seat. He's joined the Hero Course and won't be studying in class."

"Ouch!!"

Aizawa Shota's words surprised and disappointed the two girls, while the other classmates looked on with curiosity. What was going on?

Let me explain.

"Midori won the championship at the U.A. High School Sports Meet, and then All Might suggested that Midoriya's dream was to become a hero. Therefore, the teachers at the school made reasonable arrangements after discussion."

"Midori will join Class A of the Hero Course and become one of us, while retaining his status in the Support Department. His regular classes in the Hero Course will mainly involve basic hero training, while he will have the right to manufacture equipment and items in the Support Department."

"Wow! You can do that?"

Midoriya's treatment, almost like that of a main character, immediately caused Iroha to exclaim in surprise, while Aizawa-sensei kindly added:

"If you can win the championship at the U.A. Sports Games, I can also help you apply for special treatment."

At this point, no one could argue with Izuku Midoriya's inclusion in Class A of the Hero Course. After all, he was a Quirkless individual who won the sports meet championship... there was no way they could compare.

"Um...please take care of me from now on!!"

Midoriya bowed very politely, and everyone in Class A welcomed him. As for Bakugo Katsuki, who kept shouting that he was powerful, he was just talking big.

It's worth mentioning that, in addition to Izuku Midoriya joining Class A of the Hero Course, Shinso Hitoshi also joined Class B of the Hero Course. Shinso's terrifying strength displayed in the sports meet, as well as his "brainwashing" quirk, have caught the school's attention.

Because two outstanding talents emerged at once, and since the Hero Course also has two classes, A and B, the school assigned one person from each class to the course, which was considered fair treatment.

After that, Izuku Midoriya officially joined Class A of the Hero Course. He could freely allocate his time between the Hero Course and the Support Course, which was a special treatment given to him by the school after he won the championship.

After all, he is such an outstanding talent. Everyone saw his performance in the sports meet, and neither the teachers nor the classmates had any objections.

During their free time, All Might, Izuku Midoriya, and Mirio Togata were all in the teachers' lounge at U.A. High School.

"All Might, thank you! You've helped me so much!!"

"Don't say that. You won the championship with your own strength. Even if I didn't ask, the principal would consider transferring you to the Hero Course."

Midoriya thanked him, All Might declined, and Mirio Togata appropriately interjected:

"But Midoriya, you're the 'Steel Wire Reaper'? All Might knew that but didn't tell me!"

"You must keep our promise to Midoriya-kun a secret!"

"Million-student senior... Can we please stop using that title? It's just something that's been circulating online, and it sounds weird."

Izuku Midoriya is incredibly embarrassed. The nickname "Steel Wire Reaper" seems to have become so popular with netizens that it's now a label that can't be removed from him.

"By the way, Midoriya! Have you thought about your hero name?!"

"Hero's name?"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's puzzled look, Mirio Togata raised his index finger and explained:

"You'll be going to intern with Mr. Nighteye soon, right? As part of the Hero Experience event, the Hero Name is an essential part of it."

"Hey! So, Senior Million, what's your hero name?"

"My hero's name? It'll be 'Million'!"

Mirio's hero name was surprisingly simple. While Izuku Midoriya was completely bewildered, he spoke:

"My dream is to become a hero and save others, but I can't save everyone like All Might, so I named myself 'Million.'"

"If you can't save everyone, then save a million!"

Izuku Midoriya was quite shocked. He never expected that a hero's name could have such a meaning. All Might, on the other hand, felt ashamed. Even if Mirio Togata said that... All Might himself couldn't save everyone.

"Have you thought about what hero's name you should give yourself?"

"Um... I haven't decided yet."

As a child, Izuku Midoriya often fantasized about what his hero's name would be, but most of them were similar to All Might's hero name. This was because Izuku greatly admired the No. 1 hero, so he wanted to choose a hero name in that direction.

However, after hearing what Mirio Togata said, Izuku Midoriya realized that a hero's name also represents what kind of hero one is.

"Why don't you use 'Steel Wire Reaper' as your hero name? It'll be widely known, and it'll definitely be a huge deterrent to the enemy!"

"No... I absolutely refuse!!"

Mirio Togata's terrible idea prompted Izuku Midoriya to shake his head and dismiss the unreliable name. He felt he would be too ashamed to show his face if he were given the heroic title of "Steel Wire Reaper."

"All Might, what are your thoughts on hero names?"

It's too unreliable to ask Mirio Togata for advice on something like this, so Izuku Midoriya quickly sought help from his most admired hero, All Might, who is probably number one, and he must have a good idea.

"A hero's name..."

When Izuku Midoriya spoke, All Might fell silent for a moment. In truth, his hero name had now essentially replaced his real name, except for his elderly teacher... and his mentor, the seventh "One For All," who knew his true name.

All Might, a household name, is the number one strongest hero, the "symbol of peace," a hero feared by enemies, and the most worshipped hero by the people... all of this is represented by the four words "All Might."

After deep thought, All Might replied to Izuku Midoriya's words:

"To me, a hero's name is more important than life itself; it represents everything I am..."

Is that so...?

All Might's words made Izuku Midoriya think deeply about what the name of a hero meant to him.

Chapter 66 Let's come up with a name and see what the conference is like.

"Alright, now let 'Midnight' give her critique of your hero names!"

Shota Aizawa, still with a deadpan expression, put on his sleeping bag and lay down on the ground like a corpse. Meanwhile, Midnight, the 18+ hero who was serving as the head referee for the first-year students at the U.A. Sports Meet, stood in front of Class A of the Hero Course, looking quite excited.

"Hero Name" is the main purpose of the Hero Course A class, which aims to encourage students to choose their own hero names, which will be used as their titles during the upcoming hero internship.

However, Aizawa Shota himself didn't have many good suggestions on hero names, and even his own hero name was a simple and unremarkable name like "Eraserhead".

Therefore, it's Midnight Teacher who's here to give the students aesthetic critiques. After all, having a good hero name is important these days; tongue-twisting and obscure hero names are not easy for people to remember.

"So, who wants to go first?"

"I'll do it! I'll do it!!"

After the teacher asked a question on the podium at midnight, Mina Ashido, the pink-clad girl from Class A, excitedly raised her hand and clamored to go first.

"A hero's name..."

Midoriya stared thoughtfully at the whiteboard in front of him. Midnight Teacher had asked the students to write down the names of their heroes and take them up for feedback from their classmates, but Izuku still didn't have much of a concept of his own hero name.

Incidentally, as a prerequisite for hero training, choosing a hero name is an essential part, which is why Izuku Midoriya is currently in Class A with everyone.

"Midori, have you decided on a hero name yet?"

Yue Shanyou, who was standing nearby, tapped on his desk, bringing up a question she was concerned about. Midoriya, snapping out of his reverie, saw the girl's curious expression and shook his head helplessly.

"I haven't decided yet. Let the other students go first... I'll think about it some more."

While Izuku Midoriya was still undecided, many other students were also deep in thought, while Mina Ashido had already happily run up to the podium and shown everyone her writing board.

"Alien hero 'Alien Queen'! Pretty cool, right?!"

"Rejected! This has escalated to the level of a horror movie. Are you planning to recreate 'Alien'?"

Midnight forcefully rejected Mina Ashido's unreliable hero name, which is why Shota Aizawa wanted her to host the naming contest; most of the students in Class A are pretty unreliable...

The second person to step onto the stage after Ashido was Bakugo Katsuki, who always looked like someone owed him millions of yen. He fiercely exposed his writing board to the students.

"King of Massacre!"

"...You should change that name..."

The speechless teacher wondered, "Are there really so many troublemakers in Class A of Hero Course? How come the names of the heroes they've chosen are all so unreliable? They sound just like villains."

"The Hero of the Rainy Season: The Green Elf"

"It's great! It sounds so welcoming!"

The third student to go on stage after Bakugo was Tsuyu Asui. After she revealed her hero name, Midnight-sensei was finally relieved. Fortunately, there were still some well-behaved students in Class A.

"My turn! The mighty hero 'Lenu Raiyuu'!!"

"Red Fury? I get it, this must be a tribute to the heroic figure 'Red Raiyuu'!!"

Kirishima Eijiro is standing on the podium with a writing board on it, but Midnight Teacher immediately sees through the meaning of his hero name.

"Yes!" Slightly embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through, Kirishima said, "Because my most admired hero is 'Red Raito,' even though it's a bit cliché, the hero I aspire to be is 'Red'!"

"Hmph... To bear the name you aspire to, you'll have to bear the corresponding immense pressure!" Midnight teased Kirishima with a hint of scare.

Kirishima clenched his fist, confirming earnestly and passionately, "I've been ready for a long time!!"

"Is the name of the hero I admire most similar to his/hero's...?"

Izuku Midoriya looked at Kirishima with envy. He had also considered a name similar to "All Might"... but ultimately gave up on it...

"To me, a hero's name is more important than life itself; it represents everything I am..."

All Might's words from not long ago echoed in his ears, and Midoriya fell into deep thought... For him... is there a name that can represent everything about him?

As Midoriya pondered, the naming contest continued, with students taking turns going on stage to display their hero names to everyone and receive feedback from Midnight-sensei.

...............

.........................

"Light and agile!"

"Good! A very nice name!"

Ochako Uraraka, whose hero name received positive feedback, noticed Izuku Midoriya deep in thought as she stepped down from the podium, seemingly still unsure of his hero name.

"The Giant Hero 'Goliath'!"

"Very good, named after a famous giant from the Bible, but be careful, you might have to watch out for King David!"

Yue Shanyou's heroic name also received praise from Teacher Midnight, but at the same time, the malicious Midnight added a flag to it.

The story of "Goliath":

One of the legendary giants, Goliath, as recorded in the Bible, was a Philistine general who led an army against the Israelites. He possessed immense strength, and everyone who saw him would retreat in fear, daring not to fight. In the end, the shepherd David struck Goliath in the head with a slingshot and severed his head.

"Cooked to perfection".

"Using her real name directly? You're not kidding, are you?"

"Ok!"

The rather charismatic Shoto Todoroki, even Midnight Teacher covered his forehead in exasperation, thinking that people who use their real names as hero names are practically extinct these days.

After that, almost everyone in Class A of the Hero Course went up to the stage to show their hero names to everyone. After Midnight-sensei counted, only two people did not go up to the stage: Tenya Iida and Izuku Midoriya.

Seemingly aware that he was the last one left, Tenya Iida walked onto the stage with a conflicted expression and revealed his own heroic name.
