How to make Nighteye laugh? After thinking it over, Izuku Midoriya decided on only one method: All Might-style jokes!
With a quick rub of his hands across his face, Izuku Midoriya unleashed his ultimate technique, a move he had honed since childhood and never revealed to anyone before, in real combat!
"I am Izuku Midoriya!"
A classic smile (All Might face), Izuku Midoriya's expression (All Might face), and a confident self-introduction (All Might face), immediately silencing the entire audience...
Passing Million's jaw dropped involuntarily, the foam girl strapped to the machine smiled and shed a few tears, while Nighteye adjusted his glasses... without saying a word.
"Did it work?"
Deku Midoriya, trying his best to maintain his "All Might face," watched as the other three members of Nighteye Agency were speechless. The only trick Deku could pull out was his sense of humor.
As a child, Izuku Midoriya idolized All Might so much that he honed his skills by practicing in front of the mirror for many years, enabling him to instantly recreate All Might's face perfectly.
"Are you underestimating All Might?!"
"!!!"
Unexpectedly, Nighteye not only didn't smile, but instead walked angrily to Izuku Midoriya and put his hand down on his face.
"All Might doesn't have wrinkles like that!!"
"The typical wrinkles around the eyes are about 0.6cm, while those from the Silver Age are about 0.8cm. Now, even unauthorized products can be identified by the wrinkles!"
As Nighteye spoke these words to himself in a serious tone, Izuku Midoriya suddenly noticed everything in the room. The office was filled with things related to All Might, and the wall hanging was a non-saleable painting from the 10th anniversary.
Izuku Midoriya has unequivocally confirmed one fact: Nighteye is a true All Might fanatic!
"This is truly unpleasant. All Might personally asked me to introduce someone of this caliber?"
Nighteye turned to return to his desk, but at that moment, Izuku Midoriya made his move. His unwavering admiration and love for All Might was something he couldn't afford to show weakness for, so Midoriya stated it directly:
"Did you know about the 'Western vinegar suicide incident'...?"
"A middle school student whose 'Quirk' could alter water quality was drowning in a river when All Might rescued him. In his panic, the student turned the river water into vinegar, causing All Might to jump in and suffer eye irritation."
"The squinting smile that Allmite gave during his interview after rescuing the person is exactly what I was looking for!"
Nighteye, who had turned to leave, stopped. He slowly turned back, adjusted his glasses, and replied:
"Of course I know. It happened after we teamed up. The NHA radio program's special 'Looking Back' episode also mentioned some of it."
The two fought to a draw in their initial exchange, and Midoriya, not to be outdone, added:
"The absence of enemies makes it seem rather ordinary compared to other events, and it's not mentioned much on fan sites, but I really enjoy it..."
"Because Allmight later said, 'Saving others is more important than defeating the enemy!'"
Nighteye adjusted his glasses; the light reflecting off the lenses obscured his eyes, and then he slowly began to speak:
"All Might said this three times, and the specific content was different each time!"
"As a hero, saving others is more important than defeating the enemy."
"Being a hero is more about saving others than defeating the enemy."
"And then there's what you just said: 'Saving others is more important than defeating the enemy.'"
The fighting temporarily stopped, and Midoriya and Nighteye looked at each other. Now, without a doubt, it was confirmed that the guy on the other side was an ally, a die-hard All Might fan.
................
Nighteye, sitting in his office chair, held a pen between his hands, while Izuku Midoriya stood obediently in front of the desk, waiting for Nighteye to speak... Meanwhile, the unfortunate bubble girl was rescued from the tickling machine by Mirio Togata.
"Now I think I understand why Allmet introduced you to me."
Night Eyes, lost in his own thoughts, found the black-haired boy in front of him increasingly pleasing to the eye. But at the sports meet, this kid should have had green hair? Was this some kind of hero's outfit? Whatever...
Nighteye had received a request from All Might in advance. A student from the Hero Training Association was coming to him for further studies. Because it was All Might's request, Nighteye took it very seriously.
He didn't watch Mirio Togata's race at this year's U.A. Sports Meet; he watched Izuku Midoriya's performance the whole time.
Even after learning that Izuku Midoriya was Quirkless, his amazing performance at the sports meet still made Nighteye think highly of him. It should be said that he is indeed a boy whom All Might values!
However, since All Might has entrusted him with this task, Nighteye must train Midoriya properly and nurture him into a capable person.
"What is your hero name? From now on, we will address you by your hero name during your hero training."
"Akatani Kaiun..."
When Nighteye asked the question, Izuku Midoriya answered honestly, but Nighteye asked rather strangely:
"Why not use 'Steel Wire Reaper'? Isn't that title quite famous?"
"Um... this doesn't sound like a hero at all!!"
Nighteye asked curiously, and Midoriya complained helplessly, "My hero name has already been mentioned by many people, including my classmates in Class A."
After deciding on the hero's name in class that day, many people asked Midoriya why he didn't use "Steel Wire Reaper" as his hero name. It's not only cool, but he's already very famous, so using it would be a perfect choice.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Now come to my office. You'd better be mentally prepared."
"First, let me ask you a question!"
Nighteye placed the pen he had been twirling on the table, and solemnly clenched his fist as he spoke to Midoriya:
"You have experience fighting enemies, right? And you orchestrated the 'Butcher Incident,' didn't you?"
"........."
The topic turned so heavy right off the bat, and Izuku Midoriya was a little worried. After all, what he had done back then was too terrible. But there was no need to hide what he had done, and Midoriya nodded in acknowledgment:
"I did it..."
The glasses reflected the light, making it impossible to see Nighteye's eyes clearly. As Midoriya waited with his head down, Nighteye spoke:
"Million, from now on, have 'Akagani Kaiun' coordinate your actions."
"Wait! Mr. Nighteye, this is very dangerous!!"
Nighteye was confused, but Mirio Togata immediately stopped him, leaving Izuku Midoriya completely bewildered. What were these two talking about?
"Akatani Kaiun is far more outstanding than either of us imagine, so I've determined that he's capable of participating in this matter."
"All right......."
Nighteye and Mirio Togata seemed to be exchanging cryptic messages, which gave Izuku Midoriya a real headache. What on earth were these two talking about?
"Akatani Kaiun, your first hero event at Nighteye Agency, alongside Mirio."
Facing Midoriya Izuku, Nighteye told the boy about the mission he had been given, a challenging task from the very beginning.
"Arrest and bring to justice 'Hero Killer' Stein."
"Ugh!!"
"Hero Killer" Stain, an enemy who has been relentlessly harming professional heroes, was recently discovered by Midoriya through the news to have also been hospitalized by Iida Tenya's brother, "Ingenium."
According to statistics, more than a dozen professional heroes have died at the hands of "Hero Killer" Stein, making him a ruthless and terrifying enemy.
The police have intensified their manhunt for the "hero killer" who has been committing a series of serious crimes, and have recently received information that he is active in Hosu City.
Nighteye Agency also took on the task of arresting the hero killer, a dangerous mission that should have been carried out alone by the third-year student "Million". However, with the arrival of Izuku Midoriya, Nighteye sent him along as well.
"In short, if you really encounter the 'Hero Killer,' don't make a move; let me handle it!"
On their way to Hosu City, Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya are reminded by their senior, Nighteye, that since he asked them to travel together, Mirio must take responsibility for Midoriya's safety.
"Understood! But we still can't confirm the exact whereabouts of the 'Hero Killer'?"
"This is the first piece of information we received from the police who are cooperating with Mr. Nighteye, but they can only confirm that the Hero Killer is in Hosu City, so the next step is a thorough search."
Izuku Midoriya, who took on the heavy responsibility, did not expect that his first hero training would be such a difficult task, but fortunately, it was Mirio-senpai who was in charge... Izuku had personally witnessed how powerful Mirio Togata was.
"Get ready! This is your first hero internship, so do your best!!"
"learn!"
Izuku Midoriya was all ready, and this time he brought all his belongings with him.
Chapter 69 Hosu City
"By the way, Senior Million, what kind of hero outfit are you wearing?"
The hero outfit worn by Miku Midoriya is similar to All Might's form-fitting uniform, with a red cape draped over his back, but that's not what Izuku Midoriya was referring to.
While in USJ, Mirio Togata, who happened to be returning from a mission, met Tenya Iida on the way and learned about the enemy invasion. He immediately went to USJ in his hero outfit to confront the enemy.
At that time, Izuku Midoriya saw that Mirio Togata's hero suit also had the effect of "penetration" Quirk, which allowed him to penetrate Nomu's body along with himself.
Here we need to talk about Mirio Togata's Quirk "Permeation," which allows him to become ethereal and pass through all obstacles, while also ignoring all attacks.
However, if the head is also "pierced" into nothingness, Tong Xing's five senses will also disappear, since people need their eyes to receive light and their ears to hear sounds to understand the outside world.
The "Penetration" trait is undeniably powerful, but it also has significant limitations...
In addition, when Tongxing Baiwan uses Penetration, his clothes will fall off directly, since his body is essentially nothingness and it is impossible for him to put on clothes.
"My hero costume is woven from my own hair fibers, so it can also be 'penetrated'."
"Oh—so that's how it is?"
Izuku Midoriya curiously examined Mirio Togata's battle suit, never expecting that the uniform was actually woven from Mirio Togata's hair.
"Speaking of which, it must have taken a long time to make this combat suit. Did you even use up all the hair you cut off, Senior Million?"
"Why go through all that trouble? With its 'accelerates hair growth' feature, you can gather all the raw materials in no time."
"That's true... Come to think of it, there are all sorts of personalities these days..."
Izuku Midoriya thought back for a moment and realized that Yuu Gakuyama's "Gigantification" and Eijiro Kirishima's "Hardening" were actually powerful but unremarkable Quirks.
In comparison, Sero Hanta's "tape" spraying from his wrist and Mineta Minoru's "sticky ball" on his head are both distinctive Quirks. These two students' Quirks fall somewhere between the activation type and the permanent type; it's fair to say that people with these Quirks are relatively rare these days, and encountering one occasionally is quite unusual—as the saying goes, rarity makes things valuable...
While Midoriya and Mirio were chatting about gossip, they arrived at their destination, Hosu City, by train.
"Speaking of which...Iida-kun seems to be in this city?"
Midoriya Izuku recalled with a hint of thought that he knew which hero agency most of his classmates went to, and even knew exactly which city it was located in. Midoriya hadn't been collecting hero information for nothing over the years.
Tenya Iida went to a relatively unknown hero agency, which was mainly responsible for patrolling the streets, and the city it was located in happened to be Hosu City.
"Is it because of 'Ingnim'...?"
Connecting this to the information about the "Hero Killer," Izuku Midoriya understood Tenya Iida's plan... he wanted to seek justice for his brother.
"Senior Baiwan, what should we do next?"
"You can just call me 'Million,' but since this is my duty as a hero, I'll just call you 'Akatani Kaiun' as well."
With an air of experience, Toruhaku offered his advice, while also answering Midoriya's question.
"Let's meet with the professional heroes here first; we need to gather intelligence."
"learn!"
Although it wasn't his first time in action, this was Midoriya's first time acting as a hero, so he kept Mirio Togata's words firmly in mind—the experience of a seasoned veteran.
Midoriya obediently followed behind Mirio Togata, and the two of them attracted a lot of attention when they went to meet the patrolling pro heroes on the street.
"Look, it's 'Steel Wire Reaper' and 'Million,' both of them are champions of the U.A. Sports Meet! They're amazing!"
"Is this some kind of heroic activity? Let me through, I need to take a picture!"
"They're so cool! I want to be a hero like them!"
Midoriya and Mirio attracted the attention of passersby as they walked down the street. Midoriya Izuku was quite famous, and his disguise as "Akatani Kaiun" was widely circulated online. In addition, his identity was confirmed by the media during the sports meet, so even with his disguise, people still recognized him.
Needless to say, Toruichiro is now widely known in the media and online, with everyone believing he is All Might's chosen successor. Coupled with his impressive strength and his overwhelming performance in the Games, he is practically a household name.
"Come on!"
Seeing the enthusiastic crowd trying to surround them, Mirio Togashi grabbed Midoriya and quickly ran away. It was working hours, and if they were stopped, they wouldn't be able to escape.
After avoiding the enthusiastic crowd, Midoriya and Mirio successfully met up with the local pro heroes of Hosu City and also saw some acquaintances.
"Midori-kun?"
"Hmm—Iida-kun."
Looking at Midoriya Izuku's black hair and appearance as "Akatani Kaiun," Iida Tenya was surprised, wondering why this classmate was in Hosu City.
"Ok, I see."
The pro hero, who had finished negotiating with Mirio Togata, turned to Iida and said:
