Quirkless Hero

Shocking news was spreading online. Despite the heroes and police doing everything they could to contain it, word had gotten out. Especially when it came to such a major story.

Midoriya Izuku, a student at U.A. High, known by his hero name "Akaya Kaiun," the highly regarded "Steel Wire Death God," had turned to the enemy.

Though the details were unclear, according to the rumors online, the "Steel Wire Death God" had broken into the Shie Hassaikai headquarters late at night. Using some unknown method, he had knocked out all the members, and even the executives seemed to have been taken down.

In the end, Chisaki, the young boss of the Shie Hassaikai, had both his arms brutally severed. Later, the police found the severed hands in Midoriya Izuku's dorm room. The evidence was undeniable... "Akaya Kaiun" had committed a serious crime and was now labeled as a "villain."

This incident has sparked a frenzy online, with citizens holding mixed opinions. Many believe there must be some hidden truth behind it, especially since "Akaya Kaiun," a promising U.A. student, would have no reason to do such a thing.

On the other hand, some argue from a legal standpoint. No matter the circumstances, committing a crime makes one a "villain" by definition. Even heroes like All Might uphold justice by following the law. Otherwise, what purpose does the law serve?

However, the majority of people remain neutral, choosing not to take sides. After all, this matter doesn't directly affect them, and it's just a topic for casual conversation.

——————————————

At Nighteye's agency, Togata Mirio sat with his head down in despair, silent. Failing to bring Midoriya Izuku back and letting him be taken by All For One was a devastating blow to Mirio.

Nighteye himself was also deep in thought at his desk. When he learned about Midoriya's extreme actions, he immediately sensed something was wrong and sent Mirio to retrieve him. But he never expected things to turn out this way...

"Both of you, snap out of it! There's still a lot of work to do!"

All Might, who had just hung up a call with Officer Tsukauchi, was also worried about Midoriya's situation. But deep down, he had unwavering faith in the boy.

"This kid is greater than anyone else. He won't do anything disappointing!"

All Might felt ashamed, realizing he should have understood something earlier. Midoriya didn't dream of becoming a hero just because he admired All Might. Midoriya simply wanted to help others, which made him more like a true hero than anyone else.

So now wasn't the time for doubt or regret. All Might remembered the last phone call he received from Midoriya.

"All Might... I'm counting on you from here on..."

Midoriya had already broken the deadlock. Now, as the hero Midoriya looked up to, All Might had to handle the aftermath perfectly.

"Mirio, go back to U.A. High and report this to the principal. You know what to say, right?"

"Understood!"

Reinvigorated by All Might's command, Togata Mirio couldn't afford to wallow in despair. He had to step up and fulfill his responsibilities as an upperclassman.

"Nighteye, I'll leave the intelligence work on the Shie Hassaikai and other underworld groups to you. Their actions are definitely connected to All For One."

"Right..."

Nighteye, now busy with work, regretted the "future" he had seen. But dwelling on it wasn't helpful. If he could make even a small difference, it would be worth it.

"Next is..."

All Might hesitated as he looked at his phone. As a teacher at U.A. High, he had contact information for his students' parents. He was torn over whether to inform Midoriya's mother about the situation.

Midoriya had sent his mother, Inko, to the United States the day before to avoid worrying her. The news of what happened in Japan wouldn't reach her there, but...

Not informing Midoriya's family wasn't an option. Yet, telling her would only cause her immense grief. All Might was stuck, unable to make a decision.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Officer Tsukauchi, who had just called earlier. All Might immediately answered, knowing it must be something important.

"Hey, Officer Tsukauchi..."

"All Might, the boss of Shie Hassaikai has woken up!!"

"What!?"

During a second thorough search by the heroes and police, they found the unconscious old boss of Shie Hassaikai at another secret hideout. He was lying on a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV, barely clinging to life.

This wasn't the state he was in during the first search, and this new development was enough to seal Chisaki's fate. Although the Shie Hassaikai situation was mostly resolved, the fact that the old yakuza boss had been in a coma was a headache for everyone. As the legal guardian of Eri, his condition had made it difficult for the heroes and police to proceed with their work.

Hearing the news that the old boss had woken up, All Might was both shocked and excited. He immediately replied to Officer Tsukauchi:

"Wait for me, I'm on my way!"

"Welcome to the League of Villains!"

In a brand-new bar, All For One extended his hand with a smile.

"I don't need a welcome ceremony. Did you fulfill the conditions you promised me?"

Ignoring the man's friendly gesture, Midoriya Izuku turned his head and sat on a barstool, his eyes scanning everyone present. It seemed like the entire League of Villains had gathered this time.

"Of course, I did. It was nothing more than a small task. You can verify it yourself, Midoriya."

"......"

Midoriya didn't respond to All For One. He just coldly observed the members of the League of Villains, his mind already calculating his next move.

Initially, Midoriya had planned to turn himself in to the police after dealing with the Shie Hassaikai situation. But being forcibly brought to the League of Villains by All For One was unexpected. However, it also presented an opportunity.

Instead of wasting time in prison, he could infiltrate the League of Villains from within. These people were plotting to take All Might's life, and Midoriya wasn't about to let that happen.

Since All For One seemed so interested in him, Midoriya decided to play along and join the League. At the right moment, he could betray them and help the heroes. No matter how he looked at it, this was a solid plan.

All For One was scheming some sinister plot, while Midoriya, pretending to be a traitor, was ready to sell out his "teammates" when the time came. Both were calculating their next moves, each with their own agenda.
