Quirkless Hero

"An enemy?"

Seeing the large mass of writhing sludge suddenly attacking him, Midoriya Izuku became instantly alert. As he retreated to create distance, he aimed the steel wires from his "Reaper Gloves" at the sludge and shot them out to wrap around it!

But unexpectedly, the enemy "Sludge" was made of fluid, and the steel wires went right through it, having no effect.

"Kid, you look surprisingly familiar!"

The sludge looked at the black-haired Midoriya Izuku with interest. Wasn't there a lot of news about a middle school student with black hair and steel wires recently?

"Kid, you're the famous 'Steel Wire Death God.' I didn't expect that 'Butcher' to fall at the hands of a kid like you!"

As the sludge spoke, its fluid tentacles lunged at Midoriya, but he had already prepared and used the steel wires to pull himself to the bridge, dodging the attack.

"Kid, I like you. How about merging with me? Your 'Quirk' would be great for killing!"

The sludge didn't give up and surged towards Midoriya Izuku, its fluid tentacles attacking him continuously.

Midoriya didn't say a word, focusing on dodging the sludge's attacks. As for counterattacking? That wasn't possible at all...

"I've encountered the toughest enemy!"

Midoriya thought to himself, realizing the situation was bad. He had anticipated facing enemies immune to physical attacks, but he didn't expect to encounter one so soon.

Against an enemy with a fluid Quirk like the sludge, Midoriya Izuku was completely helpless. The steel wires cut through it but had no effect.

"Run!"

At this moment, the only thing Midoriya could think of was to escape, and he immediately acted on it. Extending the steel wires further, he wrapped them around a streetlight and, like Spider-Man, flew off the ground.

However, he quickly stopped!

Midoriya looked back in a hurry and saw the sludge's tentacles wrapped around his foot, pulling him back. The enemy's sludge body was coming to envelop him!

"It's over!"

As Midoriya Izuku closed his eyes, accepting his fate, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice in his ear!

"A hero always shows up at the crucial moment!"

Held by strong hands, the mud monster's tentacles were torn apart, and Izuku was carried to the other side. When he opened his eyes, he saw the hero he admired!

"All... All Might!?"

Putting the trembling Midoriya Izuku down, All Might's tall and strong figure stood with his back to him, looking at Izuku with his iconic smile:

"It's all right now. Why? Because I am here!"

Covering his chest with his hands, Midoriya Izuku felt like he was going to die of happiness. He couldn't believe he met his idol, All Might, and was saved by him. Today must be his lucky day!

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

Now wasn't the time to be lost in dreams. Izuku quickly reminded the No.1 hero. The steel wire had no effect on the mud monster, and All Might was also a physical fighter. He needed to be informed.

"Don't worry! An expert can handle any enemy!"

As All Might gave a thumbs up to Izuku, the mud monster lunged at All Might, shouting:

"Damn All Might, you followed me here!"

Under Izuku's worried gaze, All Might kept his iconic smile and faced the enemy. He clenched his right fist and swung it:

"Detroit Smash!!"

A storm appeared. The destructive wind from All Might's punch shattered the mud monster. Izuku couldn't even open his eyes. When the wind calmed down, he opened his eyes to see.

The mud monster was broken into pieces on the ground. Midoriya's jaw almost dropped!

"This... this is All Might's power, it's amazing!!"

No matter how many videos he watched or articles he read, nothing compared to experiencing it in person. The mud monster, which Izuku thought was immune to physical attacks, was blown to pieces by just the wind from All Might's punch!

"All... All Might..."

As Midoriya Izuku nervously didn't know what to say to his idol, the No.1 hero started his work. He emptied a large soda bottle from his pants pocket and began stuffing the mud pieces into it!

"I'll help too!!"

Seeing All Might at work, Izuku didn't just stand there. He ran over to help All Might, picking up the mud pieces and stuffing them into the soda bottle. With an extra person helping, the scattered mud monster was quickly trapped in the bottle.

"Amazing!"

Looking at the soda bottle, the mud monster was still struggling inside. A small soda bottle had captured the enemy that steel wire couldn't affect. Midoriya Izuku couldn't believe there were people with such Quirks, completely non-human in physiology...

But thinking about the "Butcher" he defeated, that person was similar, with a mouth on his stomach and no other human organs visible.

"Well done, young man!"

After capturing the mud monster, All Might praised Midoriya Izuku. Enthusiastic kids deserved praise!

"Um... um... All Might..."

Awkwardly, Midoriya Izuku didn't know what to ask. If it were before, he would have asked All Might if someone without a Quirk could become a hero.

But now that question no longer troubled him. Izuku decided that even without a Quirk, he would still strive to become a hero!

"Young man, are you the one who defeated the 'Butcher'?"

"( ⊙ o ⊙ ) Ah!!"

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

All Might seemed to know what Midoriya was thinking and pointed to the "Reaper Gloves" on his hands, saying:

"I saw you using steel wires just now! Black hair, steel wires, middle school student – it must be you, right?"

Caught red-handed, Midoriya Izuku nodded and answered All Might:

"Uh... yes, it was me..."

Just when he thought he would be scolded by the No.1 hero, All Might patted his head and praised him:

"Well done. You stepped up to save someone, right? I saw the news reports too!"

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

"But you were too harsh in your fight with the 'Butcher.' Cutting off the enemy's limbs is not a hero's behavior, and actively seeking out enemies to fight is very dangerous..."

All Might's continuous teaching made Midoriya lower his head in shame. He knew he was wrong in this aspect, and being pointed out by his idol made him feel very embarrassed!

"All in all, you're a good kid. Can you tell me your name?"

Midoriya Izuku was surprised that All Might asked for his name. This was...

"What's wrong? Don't you want to tell me?"

How could that be... This was such an honor!

Midoriya Izuku was excited and wanted to tell All Might his name, but the words got stuck...

He was in disguise now, looking completely different from his real appearance. If he told All Might his real name, "Midoriya Izuku"...

But if All Might checked later and found out he looked different, would he think Midoriya was lying?

And if he told All Might everything, and others found out, reporters wanting to interview the "Steel Wire Reaper" might come to his house. If his mom, Midoriya Inko, found out about all the things he had been hiding, she would be heartbroken!

So, this is it! Seeing All Might still waiting for his answer, Midoriya Izuku told him his name!

"My name is Akaya Kaiun!"

"I'll remember that, Akaya!"

All Might gave him a thumbs up and then jumped into the air like a rocket, disappearing from Midoriya's sight in an instant...

"All Might is gone..."

Midoriya Izuku felt a bit down. He hadn't been able to talk much with his idol. He also felt a bit guilty for giving a fake name...

But it wasn't exactly a lie. Just like Hatsume Mei had told him, he needed a name for his disguised identity. Midoriya Izuku's new identity!

The "Steel Wire Death God" Akaya Kaiun!
