"Everyone ran away when we were testing the props, so we couldn't collect any data on their effects on people... It's really difficult..."
Midoriya muttered to himself, while Akira caught up with the two girls and saw that Midoriya Izuku was in a very strange state.
"That... Little Midoriya?"
"Midori... Midoriya-kun?!"
Hatsume Akira asked cautiously, and Ochako couldn't help but hug Hatsume Akira beside her. She felt so scared!
"So...could you help me test out the prop?"
With a smile, Izuku Midoriya took out what he was holding and showed it to the three girls. It was a round sphere with a blood-red skull symbol on it.
Their vision seemed distorted; at that moment, the three girls saw the smile of the Grim Reaper. Behind Izuku Midoriya, a black-cloaked Grim Reaper shrouded in black mist appeared, his huge, sharp scythe ready to reap lives.
"Aa ...
The three girls, Ochako, Yuu, and Akira, who were terrified, rushed out of the testing field side by side. If they didn't escape, someone would die!
Izuku Midoriya watched the three girls run away but made no other move. Only after the three girls had run far away did the smile on his face turn into a bitter smile.
"Is this alright...?"
To help Yuu Gakuyama and Ochako out of their predicament, Midoriya didn't mind playing the villain... and incidentally scared away Akira Hatsume as well.
"We need to... stay a little further away from them..."
Izuku Midoriya knew one thing very well: the man who had his eye on him, All For One, would definitely do something again... He couldn't let the same thing happen again, like with Kota. Midoriya couldn't guarantee that he could protect the others.
Now... we must all maintain a certain distance.
Chapter 130 The Second Beginning
The terrifying legend of U.A. High School: "The person possessed by the Grim Reaper"... Rumor has it that there is a green-haired student in the Support Department. When he stands in front of you with a smile on his face, holding a ball in his hand... don't hesitate, run away immediately!
The aura of death had turned his hair black, and the shadow of Death loomed behind him. If you had not escaped this place, the very essence of hell would drag your soul into the abyss...
"...What the hell?"
"So, what do you think? This campus legend is pretty good, isn't it?!"
Akira Hata was all smiles, while Izuku Midoriya rubbed his temples... He was completely exasperated.
"No wonder everyone's been looking at me with such fear lately; it turns out you've been spreading these weird rumors."
"How could it be a strange rumor? Yue Shan and Li Ri all saw it with their own eyes!"
Akira smiled mischievously, while Midoriya was even more annoyed... He thought that scaring the three of them would make them keep their distance from him, but instead, they spread rumors throughout the entire school.
"Never mind... I have a slightly more serious matter to ask you for help."
Izuku Midoriya decided not to dwell on the strange rumors any longer and handed a small, sealed black box to Akira.
"Could you help me destroy this thing?"
"Huh? What is that? Why are you destroying it?"
Akira's curiosity was piqued, and just as he was about to reach out to open the sealed black box, Izuku Midoriya pressed his hand down on it beforehand.
"This matter is not something that can be revealed to outsiders... but I still have to tell you."
Izuku Midoriya's face showed no sign of joking; he spoke seriously and earnestly:
"Perhaps it's because of my mood lately... that my research has run into some trouble, and I've ended up creating something rather dangerous."
"Very dangerous?"
Mei asked a strange question, and Midoriya nodded, cautiously saying:
"I conservatively estimate that this thing will cover an area equivalent to the size of a city... As for what it is, I don't need to go into details, right?"
"........."
Her face turned deathly pale, her eyes glazed over, and her hand, which had just reached for the small black box, trembled uncontrollably as she asked with difficulty:
"Little Green Valley, you're not kidding, are you...? How could it possibly be the size of a city!?"
"I'm not kidding... As for why, I don't know either. It just ended up like this without me realizing it."
Their conversation was interrupted as Faming needed to process the fact that such a nuclear weapon had ended up in her hands.
"You made this... can't you destroy it yourself?"
"cannot......"
Izuku Midoriya reluctantly told Akira Hata that all his skill points were allocated to creation and invention, which were consumable items... Who would think of safely destroying or dismantling them?
"Anyway, I'll give you the crafting recipe. I can't think of a safe way to destroy it right now... I can only ask you for help."
"Fine... I guess it's just bad luck for them..."
With a sigh of helplessness, Faming decided to put the thing in a safe place for now and deal with it when he could find a solution.
------------------
In the dark and quiet room, a man named all·for·one was looking at the latest intelligence with interest. The boy he was paying attention to was doing things differently than planned.
"Giving up on the dream of becoming a hero... that's quite a decisive decision."
According to intelligence, Izuku Midoriya is currently studying in the Support Department at U.A. High School. His dropping out of the Hero Department means that he no longer wants to become a hero.
All For One tapped his temples as he pondered the situation. If Izuku Midoriya were still planning to study in the Hero Course, he would have used the pressure of journalists and public debate to force him to stay, but it seemed pointless now.
"So this is just a corrupt society. The heroes who sacrificed the most to protect civilians ended up being treated the most severely."
Afo chuckled and muttered to himself, "In this hero society, there's a law that everyone knows."
Ordinary people can use their "quirks" to protect themselves in times of crisis, and even kill their enemies.
It is permissible for police to shoot and kill enemies in critical moments.
Heroes, however, must never kill enemies; all they can do is arrest them.
This law seems ridiculous, doesn't it? But it's the code of conduct that all professional heroes must abide by!
"Chaotic times are ended by heroes, but new chaos is born from heroes."
A black portal appeared out of thin air in the room, and after gathering, it turned into black mist and appeared there.
"Teacher, is there anything you need?"
"How are those people doing now?"
Instead of giving any orders to the black mist, All For One crossed his arms and asked a question.
"They were all very obedient and compliant, and after witnessing the death of that disobedient man, they have now officially come under the command of the 'League of Villains.'"
"Is that so?"
Afo himself didn't care much. He could just turn any disobedient guy into a Nomu. As far as he was concerned, he could always replenish his forces if he didn't have enough subordinates.
"Now, I'm going to give you a task."
"Yes, teacher!"
The all-for-one mission command was met with a deep bow and attentive listening from the black mist, who was determined to perfectly accomplish the task assigned to him.
Have you ever heard of the "Shie Hachisaikai" (死緣緣会)?
"I've heard rumors about it; it seems to be a criminal organization..."
Kurogiri, who was in charge of gathering intelligence, had some knowledge of all kinds of organizations in Japan, but he was also a little puzzled... Would the teacher be interested in such a low-level yakuza organization?
"I heard that the young leader of this organization is currently conducting experiments on their old leader's granddaughter, and the process is extremely bloody~~"
A terrifying smile appeared on all·for·one's face as he slowly continued:
"Recently, I've been thinking about a question. If Midoriya-kun is so willing to risk his life for Kota, what would he do if a little girl who has been treated tragically asked him for help?"
Afo's meaning was self-evident; he gave orders to the black mist before him:
"Go and bring that little girl out, and find a suitable opportunity to dump her in front of Midoriya-kun."
"Yes, teacher!"
After obeying his teacher's orders, Hei Wu bowed again and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to depart, All For One spoke up and added two more sentences.
"Wait, remember to erase all evidence of the Shie Hassaikai's crimes, and while you're at it, have those high-ranking guys cover up the young master's crimes."
"Although it may seem a bit unsightly in name, Japanese yakuza organizations are legal associations, so we can't act from the enemy's perspective this time."
"Understood, teacher!"
Having dissipated the black mist, he was about to begin acting according to the all-for-one command.
Even if you've given up on your dream of becoming a hero, surely you couldn't just stand by and do nothing in this situation, right?
Chapter 131 The Uniqueness of Steel Wire
After handing over the terrifying creation to Akira Hata, Izuku Midoriya was temporarily at a loss for what to do... He was now hesitant to continue researching destructive objects, fearing that if he created one that would engulf the entire country of Japan... things might really get out of hand.
The Hero Course students have been coming here less often lately. They're currently creating "special moves" for crucial moments, and the Hero Provisional License Exam is coming up soon, so it's not a time to be distracted.
With nothing to do, Izuku Midoriya arrived at the testing grounds alone. It wasn't that there was no one there... but as soon as the students from the support department saw Midoriya arrive, they turned pale and scrambled out as if their lives depended on it.
"Ugh......."
He hadn't brought any testing equipment with him, and seeing how scared his classmates were of him, Midoriya could only sigh helplessly... He was innocent too.
There was no one else in the huge testing ground, and Midoriya hadn't brought anything with him to prepare for the test, so he had absolutely nothing to do.
At that moment... Midoriya hesitated for a second...
It wasn't that he couldn't find anything to do; there was something he was considering trying... the "personality" that the man named all·for·one had forcibly given him.
Izuku Midoriya has always ignored this "Quirk". He deeply hates the existence of other people's "Quirks" within him, even though they are other people's innate abilities... Midoriya has understood one thing very well since he was a child.
"Quirk" is the most precious part of everyone, and it's what Izuku Midoriya, who has had no Quirk since childhood, envies the most. He simply doesn't have the Quirk that others are born with...
But now he possesses someone else's precious "Quirk," a situation that feels like he has stolen someone else's most valuable possession, causing Midoriya extreme pain and disgust.
For a period of time after his recovery, Izuku Midoriya did one thing: he frantically searched online for people with this "Quirk," hoping to find out who the original owner of this "Quirk" was... After comparing countless people, he finally found it.
He is an enemy, a vicious wanted criminal who has killed seven people, but has never been captured by the heroes and the police. Not long ago, someone seemed to have seen this enemy and reported it to the police, but the police and the heroes were ultimately unable to find any trace of the wanted criminal and thought it was a joke.
Judging from this situation, it's clear that this guy was captured by all·for·one as prey beforehand. As for where he is now... he should be a member of the brainless group from the former abandoned factory, right?
After learning about this situation, Izuku Midoriya felt a little relieved... at least his "Quirk" wasn't that of a hero or an ordinary citizen, which eased his mental burden considerably.
Now in the testing grounds, Midoriya hesitated for a moment, preparing to test the strength and effects of this "Quirk" in all aspects, in case he needed it at a crucial moment in the future.
The five outstretched fingers began to transform from between the fingers, and the flesh turned into steel wires that extended out and flew freely. Midoriya carefully felt the condition of his body.
"The steel wire can be perfectly controlled by oneself, which should be due to the transformation of the body, and it is a part of oneself."
In the second round, countless steel wires sprouted from Izuku Midoriya's right arm and spread all over the ground, just like when he strangled the muscle man; his entire arm was transformed into steel wires.
"There is no upper limit to the number of steel wires, but the total length and quantity are determined by the transformation of the body."
In the third round, Midoriya transformed both of his legs into steel wires. Just as he was about to fall, the steel wire on his right arm wrapped around the ceiling of the test arena, supporting and suspending his body.
"Floating and suspending in the air is impossible; it will fall if it loses its support."
In the fourth round, Izuku Midoriya carefully transformed his entire body with steel wires, which slowly disappeared from his lower body and reached his waist... without any major problems.
"Having reached this level without experiencing any discomfort, it seems to be more than just a 'activation-type' personality?"
Izuku Midoriya pondered his current physical condition. It seemed that the Quirk All For One had given him was somewhat similar to the "Sludge" enemy he encountered when he first met All Might.
He still remembers how All Might smashed the "sludge" into countless pieces and stuffed them all into a large Coke bottle, completely violating the essential elements of human life.
"Never mind... Individuality itself is an unscientific phenomenon."
Thinking back to the classmates in Class A, putting aside how Rairou Hanta could shoot out an infinite length of tape from his elbow, Todoroki Shoto's ability to create icebergs out of thin air is itself very unscientific... "Quirks" are a completely subversive existence in terms of the laws of physics.
In the final round, Izuku Midoriya prepared to test the limits of his "Quirk." He focused intently on feeling the state of his body, and then slowly transformed his entire body into steel wires... In the end, only a large clump of dense steel wires remained in place.
"Am I now considered a 'wire man'...?"
Izuku Midoriya was speechless, trying to grasp his current state. He could see, hear, smell, and think... but his body was completely gone.
"Speaking of which... the personality of number 5, 'Paper Peak Archer,' seems to be quite similar to this..."
No. 5 "Paper Peak Archer", also known as "Agito", has a Quirk called "Paper Limbs", which allows the body to become thinner and more delicate like paper, and to stretch and extend. The effect is exactly the same as Izuku Midoriya's current state.
