Quirkless Hero

"Hello, I'm Togata Mirio!"

A sunny smile greeted Midoriya as he arrived, introducing himself warmly.

"You're... the one interning with All Might!!"

Midoriya Izuku blurted out in surprise. Togata Mirio didn't deny it but corrected him, "I'm also your senior."

"Sorry..." Midoriya Izuku bowed, feeling a bit embarrassed by his impulsive words.

"It's okay, I don't mind!"

After calming down, Midoriya asked the master, who was watching with a smile, why Togata Mirio wanted to see him.

"Because Mirio was on the news recently, I thought he finally achieved his dream. So, while congratulating him, I mentioned that we recently had a new junior without a Quirk, who reminded me of him!"

The smiling master, Ojiro, had seen Togata Mirio train in Bajiquan for a long time. He witnessed the boy's hard work and now, seeing him work with All Might, it seemed he had achieved his dream.

"Am I similar to Mirio?"

Midoriya asked with some confusion. He only knew about Mirio from recent news and didn't have much detailed information.

"I still remember when Mirio first came to me..." Ojiro, the master, recalled. "He said he wanted to be a hero who brings smiles to others, so he needed to work hard to become stronger."

Ojiro, the master, didn't hold back in revealing his disciple's past. Mirio, standing nearby with a smile, didn't mind at all. He had been working hard to become a hero.

"I heard about a Quirkless junior who wanted to become a hero, so I came!"

With both thumbs up, Mirio pointed at himself while praising Midoriya Izuku.

"As a senior, I must recognize and support my junior's efforts!"

At this moment, Ojiro, the master, got up to leave, pulling his son, Mashirao, who was eavesdropping, along with him.

"You two can talk slowly. There are still some naughty students outside who need guidance."

After the master left, Mirio warmly pulled Midoriya Izuku to sit in the master's seat, inviting him to chat.

"Can I call you Midoriya? You don't need to be so formal. Just call me Mirio."

"Um... Mirio-senpai."

"Just call me Mirio!"

Mirio told Midoriya not to be so formal. He was a casual person and didn't need respectful titles.

"So... Mirio, what's it like working with All Might!!"

Midoriya Izuku, eyes sparkling, asked Mirio directly. This was his dream.

"The feeling? ...With All Might around, the pressure is huge... I almost messed up!!"

Mirio felt a bit embarrassed. His Quirk was special and required a calm mind to work properly. The pressure almost made him fail.

"Uh... indeed!!"

Midoriya imagined himself in Mirio's situation. Having his idol watching him would be incredibly stressful, like taking a high-stakes exam.

"But it was amazing! Working with All Might felt like a dream come true!!"

Mirio said happily, while Midoriya was even more envious. He also wanted to fight crime with All Might.

"So, you can do it too. Work hard to become a hero, and you can team up with All Might!"

"Yes!!"

With Mirio's encouragement, Midoriya Izuku felt more confident. As long as he kept working hard, he would succeed.

"By the way, Mirio! What's your Quirk?"

Midoriya Izuku was very interested in his senior, who was recognized by All Might. He was even more curious about his Quirk.

"My Quirk is 'Permeation.'"

"Permeation?"

Not understanding, Midoriya Izuku watched as Mirio demonstrated his Quirk.

In Midoriya's eyes, Mirio suddenly fell into the ground, leaving his clothes scattered around.

"How about that?"

Mirio's face emerged from the ground, showing his Quirk in the simplest way.

"Wow... amazing!!"

"Permeation," as the name suggests, is the ability to pass through any object. Any attack on Mirio would pass right through him.

"Actually, 'Permeation' is hard to use." Mirio said as he emerged from the ground, putting on his clothes and explaining his Quirk to Midoriya.

"'Permeation' is usually used in parts. For example, when passing through a wall, I first put one foot through, then my body, and then the other foot."

"I don't really get it..." Midoriya watched as Togata Mirio phased through the ground, and what he said didn't seem to match what he saw.

"It's like this... When I activate 'Permeation' all over my body, it feels like falling into a dark abyss. It's really scary."

"Huh?!"

Seeing Mirio's serious face as he talked about his Quirk, Midoriya Izuku didn't expect it to be so frightening!

"When my whole body 'Permeates,' not only do walls and floors pass through me, but even air, light, and sound. So, it's like that."

Hearing Togata Mirio's explanation, Midoriya Izuku finally understood. Because the effect of Permeation is relative, when Mirio passes through everything, he can't receive oxygen, images, or sounds.

But... doesn't that mean all five senses are completely blocked?!

"Then how do you fight, Mirio-senpai?"

"It's Mirio!" Togata Mirio corrected Midoriya's grammar mistake and explained the technique he had worked hard to master.

"By predicting and practicing my Quirk a lot, I've made using it as natural as breathing. That's how I can fight enemies."

Hearing Togata Mirio's words, Midoriya Izuku understood why this senior came to see him. They were indeed very similar!

Togata Mirio's Quirk, 'Permeation,' was dangerous and could easily tear him apart if used improperly. But Mirio mastered it through hard work, turning a dangerous Quirk into a powerful strength.

Midoriya Izuku didn't have a Quirk, but he still had the goal of becoming a hero and worked tirelessly towards it. A Quirk was just something others had that he didn't. He could make up for it with more effort.

Today, Togata Mirio came to tell Midoriya one thing.

"So, Midoriya! Your hard work is right, and you can definitely become a hero!!"

Seeing Togata Mirio's thumbs-up, Midoriya Izuku couldn't hold back his tears. They flowed out, soaking the ground.

"Midoriya, are you okay? Did my words hurt you?!"

Togata Mirio was flustered, wondering if his junior's Quirk was related to tears, as they flowed like a faucet.

After a while, the floor was wet with tears, and Togata Mirio looked helpless. Midoriya wiped his eyes, and the tears finally stopped...

"No problem, Mirio! I will definitely become a hero!!"

"Yeah! I'll be waiting for you at U.A. High School!!"

One was a pioneer who achieved his dream through hard work, and the other was a follower chasing his dream. They met here.
