I, without any personality, become a hero!

"I really want to see All Might... I really want to see All Might..."

Izuku Midoriya started muttering to himself again. His original plan was to go to the next city to find those two old acquaintances, the burly man and the rat man, to practice his skills. Since those two were so bad at fighting, they would be perfect for practice without any danger. But now his plans were disrupted!

News of All Might's arrival spread everywhere, and Izuku Midoriya didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet his most admired hero. So, it's decided!

"Go see Allmight!"

Even just to catch a glimpse of All Might, Izuku Midoriya wanted to see him, but now a new problem had arisen.

Where could Allmight be?

The news reported that All Might was seen subduing enemies in the city and that the footage was filmed on a cell phone, but in reality, no one actually saw All Might himself.

Having no destination made it difficult for Henjiro to find a solution. The city was quite large, and the chances of running into All Might by wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly were slim. Not being able to find his way was a real problem.

After wandering around to a few places, Izuku Midoriya saw everyone talking about All Might's arrival, but he didn't see him anywhere.

Izuku sighed. Could All Might have already left?

Thinking that All Might, as the No. 1 hero, must have a lot of things to deal with every day and probably won't stay in one city for too long, Chu Jiu sighed unconsciously. Not seeing All Might made him very disappointed.

Feeling dejected, Izuku Midoriya was crossing under a bridge when a manhole cover suddenly opened, and a clump of mud flew straight at Izuku's back!

However, they came up empty-handed!

Long-term training has made Izuku's senses sharp and his reactions quick. Furthermore, after experiencing battles with dangerous enemies, his combat skills have far surpassed those of ordinary people.

After dodging the attack of the mud with a somersault, Izuku immediately turned around to face the thing that had attacked him!

"enemy!?"

Before me lay a mass of silt that was constantly twisting and deforming!

Chapter 17 All Might Arrives

"enemy?"

Seeing a large, writhing mass of mud suddenly lunge at him, Izuku Midoriya instantly became alert. As he retreated to create distance, the steel wires of his "Death Gauntlet" were aimed at the mud and sprayed out to entangle it!

The result was unexpected; the enemy's "mud" was composed of fluid, and the steel wire simply passed right through it, having no effect whatsoever.

"Kid, you look surprisingly familiar!"

The mud looked at the black-haired Izuku Midoriya with great interest. Wasn't there a news report that was very popular a while ago about middle school students, black hair, and steel wires?

"Kid, you're the recently famous 'Steel Wire Reaper'! I never thought that 'Butcher' would fall for a brat like you!"

As the mud spoke, tentacles made of fluid lunged at Izuku, but he anticipated this and used steel wire to wrap around the bridge, pulling himself across to avoid the enemy's attack.

"Kid, I have high hopes for you. How about we merge? Your 'Quirk' would be amazing for killing!"

With no intention of letting him go, the silt surged towards Izuku Midoriya, and the waving fluid tentacles attacked him relentlessly.

Midoriya remained silent, concentrating on dodging the mud's attacks. As for counterattacking? That was simply out of the question...

"We've encountered the most formidable enemy yet!"

Izuku inwardly cried out in alarm. Although he had anticipated encountering an enemy immune to physical attacks, he hadn't expected to run into one so soon.

Izuku Midoriya is completely helpless against the fluid-type quirk of Mud. Steel wire cuts pass right through him and have no effect whatsoever.

"escape!"

At that moment, the only thing Izuku could think of, and he did immediately, extended the steel wire further, wrapping it around the streetlights on the road, and mimicking the movements of "Spider-Man," Midoriya's body flew off the ground.

However, it stopped immediately!

Midoriya hurriedly turned around and saw that the tentacles of sludge were wrapped around his feet, hindering his escape, and the enemy's sludge body was enveloping him completely!

"We're doomed!"

Just as Izuku Midoriya resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes, a very familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears!

"A hero is one who appears at the crucial moment!"

He was caught in a pair of strong hands, the mud tentacles were torn off, and Izuku was thrown to the other side. When he opened his eyes, the person he saw was the hero he admired!

"All...All Might!?"

All Might placed the trembling, excited Izuku Midoriya on the ground, his tall, muscular figure turned away from him, his profile showing Izuku with his signature smile.

"It's all alright now. Why? Because I'm here!"

With his hands covering his chest, Izuku Midoriya felt like he was about to die of happiness. He never expected to meet his most admired All Might, and was even saved by him personally. Today must be his lucky day!

"All Might, the enemy is immune to physical attacks!"

Now was not the time to indulge in his daydreams. Izuku immediately reminded the strongest No. 1 hero that the steel wire had been completely ineffective against the mud. All Might was also a physical combat type of hero, so he needed to be informed first.

"Don't worry! The expert is proficient in fighting any enemy!"

As All Might gave Izuku a thumbs-up to indicate that everything was fine, the mud enemies pounced on All Might, roaring as they did so:

"That damned All Might! He actually followed us!"

Under Izuku Midoriya's tense and worried gaze, All Might maintained his signature smile as he faced the enemy, his clenched right fist striking the air:

"Detroit Smash!!"

A storm arose here, a destructive hurricane created by All Might's punch. The silt was completely pulverized by the hurricane, and Izuku couldn't even open his eyes. He only opened his eyes when the wind and waves were calm.

The silt had broken into chunks and scattered on the ground. Midoriya's jaw almost dropped as he stared at All Might's retreating figure!

"This...this is All Might's power! It's incredible!!"

No matter how many videos you watch or how many written reports you read, nothing compares to the reality of experiencing it firsthand. The mud that Izuku thought was ineffective against physical attacks was shattered by All Might's punch with just the force of the blow!

"All... All Might..."

While Izuku Midoriya was nervously wondering what to say to his idol, the No. 1 hero had already begun his work, emptying the large can of cola from his pocket and stuffing it into chunks of sludge!

"I'll help too!!"

Seeing what All Might was doing, Izuku wasn't going to just stand there and watch. He immediately ran over to help All Might, picking up the scattered mud fragments and stuffing them into the Coke bottle. Because there was an extra person working, the mud enemies scattered all over the ground were quickly trapped inside the Coke bottle.

"That's amazing!"

Looking inside the cola bottle, at the clearly struggling, muddy enemy, a tiny cola bottle had captured the enemy whose steel wire attacks had failed; Izuku Midoriya hadn't expected that someone with this type of Quirk existed, someone who was physiologically completely inhuman...

However, thinking about the "butcher" he had defeated, that person was similar, with a mouth in his stomach and no other human organs visible.

"Well done, young man!"

After completely capturing the silt, All Might praised Izuku Midoriya, after all, a kind-hearted child deserves praise!

“Um… um… All Might….”

Izuku Midoriya was feeling awkward. He didn't know what to ask. In the past, he would have asked All Might if it was possible to become a hero without a "Quirk".

But this problem no longer bothers him. Izuku decides that even without a Quirk, he will still strive to become a hero!

"Young man, you're the kid who defeated the 'Butcher,' aren't you?"

“(⊙o⊙) Ah!!”

Izuku Midoriya was completely bewildered. How did he get recognized?!

Seemingly knowing what Izuku was thinking, All Might pointed to the "Gauntlet of Death" on his hand and said:

"I saw you using a steel wire just now! Black hair, steel wire, and a middle school student—it's definitely you, isn't it?"

Having been directly hit where it was, Izuku Midoriya resignedly nodded and replied to All Might:

"Hmm...it was indeed me who did it..."

Just when he thought he would be reprimanded by No. 1, All Might placed his large hand on his head and stroked it, praising the strongest hero:

"That's great! You stepped forward to save people in the first place, right? I saw the news report about it!"

Izuku Midoriya was thrilled by All Might's praise, but then he was immediately criticized...

"However, you went too far in the fight against the 'Butcher.' Severing an enemy's limbs is not the behavior of a hero, and actively seeking out enemies is far too dangerous..."

All Might's relentless lecture made Izuku lower his head in shame. To be honest, it was indeed his fault in this regard, and being pointed out to his face by the hero he admired made him feel utterly ashamed!

"Overall, you're a good kid. May I ask your name?"

To Izuku Midoriya's astonishment, All Might actually asked for his name. This was...

"What's wrong? You don't want to tell me?"

How could this be... What an honor!

Just as Izuku Midoriya was about to excitedly tell All Might his name, the words he was about to utter caught in his throat...

He was currently in disguise, completely different from his true appearance, telling All Might his real name, "Izuku Midoriya"...

But if All Might goes back and checks, and finds that he looks completely different from how he is now, will he think that All Might has been deceiving him?

Moreover, he told All Might everything. What if he told others, and someone who wanted to interview the "Steel Wire Reaper" came to his house and his mother, Inoko Midoriya, found out? Izuku thought that his mother would be heartbroken and cry her heart out if he kept all these big things from her!

"Alright then!" Looking at All Might, who was still waiting for his answer, Izuku Midoriya told him his name.

"My name is Akaya Kaiun!"

"I'll remember that, Akagaya boy!"

All Might gave himself a thumbs-up and then leaped into the air like a cannonball, disappearing from Izuku's sight in an instant...

"All Might is gone..."

Izuku Midoriya was a little disappointed, having barely exchanged a few words with his idol, but also felt a slight pang of guilt, since he had given a fake name...

That's not quite right either. Just like what Akira told Izuku, he needs to give his disguised appearance a name, another new identity for Midoriya Izuku!

"Steel Wire Reaper" Akaya Kaion!

Chapter 18 The Mud Kidnapping Incident

Walking home, Izuku Midoriya happily held his phone, posting online about his encounter with All Might.

"Many people still want to meet Allmight!"

All Might, the number one hero! Known as the "Symbol of Peace," he is a great hero beloved by the Japanese people. He usually performs heroic activities in various cities and even other countries, and being able to actually meet him is considered very lucky.

Thinking that he shouldn't keep such a good thing to himself, Izuku Midoriya spread the news that All Might was in his city, hoping that more people could see the hero he admired.

However, Izuku was still a little embarrassed, since he hadn't given All Might his real name, but rather his disguised identity as "Akatani Kaiun".

"It's okay!"

Clenching his fist to encourage himself, Izuku Midoriya muttered to himself, "Later, I'll become a hero as Izuku Midoriya and tell All Might!"

Just as Izuku made up his mind, he suddenly heard an explosion not far away, followed by flames and black smoke.

"Enemy attack!?"

Remembering his first encounter with werewolves, where the enemy wreaked havoc in broad daylight, Izuku felt he couldn't stand idly by and immediately ran towards that location.

When Izuku Midoriya arrived, a large crowd had already gathered in a row, completely blocking his view. The crowd was so close together that Izuku couldn't squeeze in at all.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

All he could hear were continuous, familiar explosions coming from inside. Izuku, being too short to see anything inside, was getting increasingly anxious.

"that......"

As Izuku Midoriya was trying to see through the crowd to get a better look at what was happening inside, someone suddenly reached out and put their hand on his shoulder.

Turning his head, Izuku saw a very thin man who looked sickly. He had blond hair of the same color as All Might, and he was wearing the same white shirt that Midoriya had seen All Might wear not long ago.

It was this somewhat strange-looking man who placed his hand on Midoriya's shoulder, prompting Izuku to ask with some curiosity:

"What can I do for you?"

"Um...you want to know what happened inside, right...?"

Hearing the blond man's kind inquiry, Midoriya nodded. Due to his height and the fact that the crowd had blocked the way, he couldn't see what was happening inside at all.

"Actually... it's a sludge enemy that's entangled with a student... and is currently causing widespread destruction..."

"Sludge!?" Izuku Midoriya exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't this enemy the one who attacked him not long ago, only to be smashed to pieces and put into a Coke bottle by All Might who arrived at the scene?

"Wasn't that mud enemy defeated by All Might?" Because things were a bit strange, Izuku inadvertently blurted out the question.
