I, without any personality, become a hero!

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

As Midoriya Izuku turned to leave, Akira called out to him and then took two folded letters from his pocket and handed them to him.

"This is?"

"The letter was sent to the school, and the recipient is Midoriya. Unfortunately, I'm not here, so I had to ask someone to receive it on my behalf."

One of the goals of this trip, besides meeting with Izuku Midoriya to understand his current situation, was to deliver these two letters to Izuku Midoriya.

"Thank you... I'm sorry..."

Too many words of gratitude to express, Midoriya could only respond to his friends who had been helping him with these simple two sentences: they had all gathered together and risked danger to come here because of him.

"Enough with the nonsense. Now that you've become an 'enemy,' if you dare to do anything wrong, the first hero to arrest you will be me."

"Hmm... If that day ever comes, I'll have to trouble you."

"Shut up, I don't want to see that day come!"

Bakugo was furious at Midoriya's answer, saying that he hadn't come to this place to say such things, and that he knew Midoriya... even as an "enemy," he was more upright than anyone else.

"Midori...no matter what you become, we'll always be friends."

"Thank you, thank you for your concern..."

Feeling guilty towards his friends, Midoriya had no face to face Shinso Hitoshi, after all, he had disappointed everyone.

"Midori...take good care of yourself. I'll find a way to win back the battle you won last time."

"Ah, I'll wait, Todoroki."

The final farewell words came from the three girls as they bid farewell to Midoriya:

"Midori-kun, remember to take good care of yourself. If that day ever comes... I'll be waiting."

"Feel sorry....."

"Midori-kun, we will always believe in you. Remember not to forget us."

"Yes... I will always remember you all."

"Little Midoriya~~ I still have that thing of yours with me, and I'm not planning to destroy it now! If you ever do anything bad, I'll use that thing against you!!"

"........."

The unspoken response contained apologies, gratitude, and a stomachache, but these were his friends' final farewells. Midoriya kept them in his heart before turning and leaving.

This time... it's a true farewell to everyone.

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

Thinking about everything that had happened before their final parting, Midoriya felt that he had really let his friends down, and that his reckless actions had still made them worry.

Unfolding the envelope, Izuku Midoriya carefully read the name written on it: "To: Izuku Midoriya — From: Kota"

Thinking of the child he had saved, Izuku Midoriya opened the letter with a smile and began to read it carefully:

"Midori-nii-san, it's Kota—how are you doing?"

I asked my aunt Mandalay Cat to write the letter for me because I needed to express my gratitude to you.

I have been very sad and heartbroken since my parents passed away. Why did they abandon me? Why did they risk their lives to protect strangers? Therefore, I have a deep hatred for "heroes".

He could have just avoided becoming a hero, but instead he risked his life to protect a complete stranger. Such behavior is simply incurable foolishness.

My parents were killed by that villain while protecting others, leaving me all alone... That's why I really hate heroes afterward, and I was even rude to you and other older brothers and sisters for a time... I'm sorry.

But now I understand. I realize how foolish I was before when you risked your life to protect me from that bad guy, Midoriya-nii-san... Dad and Mom, they became heroes to protect everyone.

Just like you, Midoriya-nii, even though I was so rude and disliked to you, you still risked your life to protect me. It was because of your efforts that I was able to survive, and even the villains who killed my parents got what they deserved. Thank you!

Now I know why my parents did that, because they are very great heroes.

Midoriya-nii, you are too... You are Kota's hero!

"From now on, I want to become a great hero, just like you, Midoriya-nii."

After silently reading the letter, Izuku Midoriya covered his eyes with his right hand, but tears still streamed down his face.

"Sorry... Kota, I'm not a qualified hero..."

Midoriya was overjoyed to receive a response from his child after all his hard work... so overjoyed that tears streamed down his face.

Midoriya has carried all the pressure and pain along the way on his own, but now... the trust of his friends and the admiration of this kid feel pretty good too.

However, he was not a good role model, and Kota should never learn from his poor self. Midoriya silently folded the letter and kept it safe.

Then Midoriya turned his gaze to another letter. Who else but Kota would write to him? He carefully unfolded the folded letter, and the source was clearly written on it.

"The Eightfold Retreat of the Dead - Eri"

"Huili?"

The name sounded very familiar, and Midoriya slowly opened the letter.

Chapter 164 Letter (Part Two)

Big brother, are you alright? It's me, Huai Li.

However, my grandfather has now changed my name to Huili, because he said it would be bad if other people heard my original name.

My grandfather helped me write the letter because Huili doesn't know many words yet, but she really wanted to thank you, big brother... so she could only write a letter.

Huili has so many things she wants to tell her older brother, starting with the bad guys who bullied her.

The heroes and police officers have all arrested them and put them in jail, according to another older brother named Million.

Eri heard from that older brother that it was all thanks to you, so thank you very much, Midoriya-nii-san.

Eri already knows your name, big brother. It's Izuku Midoriya. The kind uncle who has been taking care of Eri told me this, and Eri has remembered it well.

Grandpa has also woken up. Huili heard that it was because of that big bad guy that Grandpa had been in a coma for so long. It's so good that he's woken up now.

Grandpa is preparing to take Eri home because the doctor's test results are in. He said that Eri's "Quirk" will not activate unless she is panicked or afraid, so the heroes and police officers all agree.

There was also that older sister with blue hair who told Eri that she had found her mother... Her mother seemed very worried about Eri and would be coming back to see her soon. Thank you so much, older sister... Hmm, but later the older sister hugged Eri and cuddled her for an hour, saying it was a reward or something... It's a little upsetting.

But... Eri was so happy because, with the help of her older brothers and sisters, the bad guys were caught and imprisoned, her grandfather woke up, and her mother was coming back. She was so happy... Eri hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Thank you, Midoriya-nii-san, and Million-nii-san, and the blue-haired older sister, the mustachioed uncle who took care of Eri, the heroes and police officers, the doctor... Eri is very grateful to you all.

Finally—Midori-nii, you liar! You promised to come see Eri, but you only came once and never came again... Although Eri's request was a bit unreasonable, I really wanted to thank you in person.

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

After reading the letter, Izuku Midoriya felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Eri... no, Eri should be smiling right now.

A slight smile appeared on Midoriya's lips. He thought the ending was not bad. As he was about to fold the letter, he noticed there was more text on the back, so he turned it over to read it carefully.

The above text is brief, consisting of only a few words:

"I can never repay such a great kindness" - Shie Hachisaikai

The pen was written in the yakuza organization that Chisaki belonged to. Midoriya immediately realized who wrote the following content. It must be Eri's grandfather, after all, he was the leader of the "Shie Hassaikai".

Although he had kept his own affairs a secret from many unsuspecting citizens, it would be very easy for the old leader of the "Shie Hassaikai" to find out the details. Moreover, the letter was originally written by that old man on behalf of his granddaughter.

Whether everything he did was worth it, Izuku Midoriya didn't know, but there was one thing he was very clear about: if he saw something, he had to stand up for it.

Whether you become a hero or not, if you ignore the children who need help right in front of you, what's the point of becoming a hero in the end?

He had at least helped a child in need of saving, and Midoriya believed it was all worth it, even though he was now in the position of being the "enemy."

"At least Eri has a smile on her face right now, doesn't she?"

After folding and securing the two letters, Izuku Midoriya stood up; he had things he needed to do.

"Midori-kun, you were looking for me?"

All For One looked at Izuku Midoriya with great interest. He had just received a message from Kurogiri that Midoriya wanted to see him. After the man agreed, Midoriya came to All For One's office through Kurogiri's "portal".

"I have something I want to ask you."

"Please ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."

All For One answered with a smile, while Midoriya asked with a serious expression.

Have you ever thought about becoming a hero?

"hero?!"

Midoriya's unexpected question stunned All For One, who then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Haha... Midoriya-kun, are you... are you kidding me?"

"A hero? A villain like me who does all sorts of evil deeds, would I want to become a hero like All Might?!"

"If you want to make me laugh to death, you're already halfway there."

Without getting angry at the blatant mockery of "all for one," Midoriya simply continued calmly:

"Not one of those so-called professional heroes, but a 'hero' as your younger brother."

"........."

All For One's laughter abruptly stopped, and his expression immediately turned very cold.

What do you mean by that?

"It doesn't mean anything... I just remember you saying that you seemed to love your younger brother very much, right?!"

“That was before. Ever since that foolish younger brother teamed up with others to rebel against his older brother, he is no longer the younger brother I love.”

"...Is that so?"

Without asking any further questions, Midoriya simply gave All For One a meaningful look. After receiving the letters from the two children, his suppressed emotions were relieved, and he suddenly understood many things.

"I've finished asking my questions, so I'm sorry to have bothered you."

As Izuku Midoriya turned to leave, Kurogiri opened the "portal," and just then, All For One spoke.

"Midori-kun, what do you think of my suggestion from last time? If you agree, you can inherit my power at any time."

Midoriya paused as he walked toward the "portal," glancing back at All For One, who was leaning back in his office chair. Despite his seemingly robust physique, All For One exuded the aura of an old man.

"I'll think about it."

Turning back and stepping into the "portal" of the black mist, Izuku Midoriya disappeared and left, and the black mist also left with him.

Leaving only all·for·one in the office, he slowly opened the drawer of his desk, took out a photo frame, and inside was an old, yellowed photograph.

Despite being blind, All For One uses his Quirk to perceive the scene in the photo: a picture of a robust young man and a thin young man, both of whom are smiling happily.

"Foolish... You wanted to act like a 'hero' to rebel against me, but in the end, will anyone remember you besides me?"

Chapter 165 There's Still Something to Do

"Black Mist, open the door and take me somewhere."

"Oh? Where do you want to go, Midoriya-kun?!"

At the League of Villains' bar outpost, the conversation between Izuku Midoriya and Kurokiri drew everyone's attention. Where was this kid headed?

Confusion and bewilderment filled the air, but no one, including Shigaraki Tomura, dared to ask. After all, the image of Spinner's gruesome death was still fresh in their minds, and no one wanted to talk to this "Grim Reaper" any further.

A black vortex appeared out of thin air in front of Midoriya's house, and Midoriya himself slowly walked out of it. Looking at his home, which he had only been away from for a week, he felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

"Black Mist, you should go back first. I'll let you know when the time comes."

"Understood, I won't bother you anymore, Midoriya-kun."

After speaking, the black mist disappeared behind him, and Midoriya slowly took out the key and opened the door. His mother, Midoriya Inko, had gone to America to live with his father, so the house had been empty for some time.

The truth could not be hidden for long; his mother would eventually find out about his situation, and Midoriya's return today was a way of putting an end to the matter.

Picking up the landline, Midoriya dialed his father's number in the United States, and the call was quickly connected.

"Dad, it's me."

"........."

Upon hearing his child's voice, the father didn't say much, but simply handed his phone to Midoriya Inoko beside him.

"Izuku, is it Izuku!?"
