Quirkless Hero

The next morning! At home, while eating breakfast and drinking milk, Midoriya Izuku watched the news on TV. It was about the Butcher's capture, and the location shown was the slaughterhouse.

Seeing news related to him, Izuku listened carefully. The news reported that yesterday, pro heroes and police rushed to the slaughterhouse after receiving a report from a panicked security guard who had escaped.

When they arrived, they found blood and scattered limbs everywhere. Following the blood trail, the police and heroes found the Butcher, who had been turned into a human stick and hung in the air. He was so scared of falling onto the hooks that he didn't dare to move.

Later, the security guard explained that a middle school student had saved him. The police concluded from the steel wires left at the scene that the person who defeated the Butcher was the black-haired boy who had recently been helping others. The reporter praised the boy's courage, but the police and heroes added:

"We hope that in the future, if someone encounters such a situation, they will notify the police and heroes instead of putting themselves in danger!"

Midoriya Izuku reflected on his actions. He realized he had been impulsive. What if the enemy had been too strong for him? And just like the Butcher's threats, Izuku didn't want his actions to put his mom in danger.

"Izuku, you're going to be late!"

Hearing his mom, Midoriya Inko, Izuku hurriedly grabbed his sandwich and ran out the door. The weekend was over, and Midoriya returned to school life.

Five minutes before the bell rang, Izuku made it to class on time. After the first class, during the break, the boys and girls gathered in groups to chat, while Midoriya, who usually had no friends, sat alone listening to their gossip.

"Have you heard about the recent famous one?"

"Oh, you mean that one!"

A few boys were talking about a hot topic. Midoriya Izuku, listening in, was curious. He had been busy gathering information on the Butcher and didn't know about any recent popular events.

"A middle school student suddenly appeared and defeated enemies. Yesterday, he even turned the Butcher, who escaped from pro heroes, into a human stick. It's so scary!"

Midoriya Izuku turned his face away! They were talking about him...

Turning the Butcher into a human stick was indeed too much... Izuku was shocked that he had done such a thing!

But thinking back, the Butcher deserved it for threatening him. Not finishing him off on the spot was already merciful.

"They say that middle school student's Quirk is something like 'steel wire,' similar to 'Spider-Man,' able to weave big webs!"

"And he first appeared in our city. Do you think he might be someone from around here?"

"Not just nearby... he's right next to you!"

Midoriya just kept these thoughts to himself. He didn't dare to spread this around, especially after being threatened by the butcher yesterday. He realized how dangerous his actions were.

If someone found out his true identity, it could bring danger to his home. Midoriya didn't want his mom to get hurt!

"What's the big deal? If it were me, I could blow the enemy away with one punch!"

Hearing his classmates talk about the recent popular figure, Bakugo Katsuki couldn't help but butt in. The classmates quickly agreed, while Midoriya Izuku lowered his face a bit.

In a way, Midoriya had caught Bakugo's attention again!

In the slaughterhouse, besides arresting the butcher, there were professional heroes helping the police investigate the scene. After all, the butcher was defeated by a middle school student, and the condition of the limbs left at the scene was brutal. When the police rescued the butcher, who had turned into a human stick, from the steel wire net, he was so scared that he was out of his mind and couldn't be interrogated about what happened.

The next day, the police invited a professional hero who was very good at analyzing such scenes to come and take a look, hoping to get a rough idea of what happened.

The professional hero "Eraserhead," whose Quirk was to "erase" others' Quirks, had a combat style of erasing the enemy's Quirk and then capturing them up close. His fighting style was similar to a Japanese ninja, skilled in close combat and using tools, so the police invited him to the scene.

With bandages wrapped around his neck, "Eraserhead" looked around the scene, picked up the butcher's severed limbs to examine the cuts, then checked the broken steel wires and the butcher's flesh at the center of the slaughterhouse. After inspecting the entire scene, he came to a conclusion.

"The kid probably wanted to capture the enemy without hurting him, setting up a steel wire trap at the center of the slaughterhouse, similar to Spider-Man's technique. But the plan failed, and the butcher broke the steel wires by force."

"Eraserhead" explained, pointing to the pieces of flesh on the ground, which were cut from the butcher when he broke the steel wires.

While recording "Eraserhead's" analysis, a police officer asked:

"How did the butcher get cut into a human stick? I looked at the cuts on the limbs, and both the bones and flesh are very smooth, like they were cut by a laser."

"Eraserhead" was a bit speechless at the question and asked back, "Did you just graduate from police school?"

"Yes?" The young police officer didn't understand, so "Eraserhead" explained, "Any slightly experienced police officer could tell from the scene that the butcher was cut into this shape by steel wires!"

"Is that so!" The young police officer quickly recorded the information.

"Eraserhead" didn't say much more and carefully observed everything at the scene, slowly explaining:

"The kid probably didn't intend to use such force."

"Hey! How do you know?!" The young police officer was puzzled, thinking that "Eraserhead's" Quirk might actually be "seeing the past"!

"Eraserhead" pointed to the slaughterhouse gate, where the handle was slightly deformed, likely from the butcher pulling it with a meat hook. The butcher's weapon wasn't found at the scene, so the kid probably took it.

Pointing to where the butcher fell, "Eraserhead" deduced that the steel wires were broken, and the butcher chased the kid to the gate, sealing it with a meat hook. From the vomit and residue left at the scene, the kid probably threw something irritating into the butcher's mouth, temporarily disabling him...

Trying to recreate the scene, "Eraserhead" led the young police officer to where Midoriya had stood.

"I also use a weapon similar to steel wire. From this position, I cut off the Butcher's hands and feet."

This spot is not close to where the Butcher fell, so he could have easily escaped!

Considering all the details at the scene, "Eraserhead" quickly analyzed:

"This kid has the ability to turn the Butcher into a human stick. He could have dealt with the enemy from the start. But from the traces left, it seems he wanted to capture the enemy. When his plan failed, he prepared to escape!"

"He's a kind kid..."

"Eraserhead" sighed. It's rare these days to see someone hold back against a villain as evil as the Butcher.

"But... why did he turn the Butcher into a human stick later? That jerk must have said something to provoke the kid."
