Chapter 32: Chapter 32. Daily Life at U.A. High School.
Midoriya Izuku's daily life at U.A. High School mostly involved being immersed in his workshop, just like the other Support Course students.
Unlike other students' classrooms, the Support Course students were in a machine shop with all kinds of mechanical equipment. They could request any materials they needed from the teacher.
"How about a smoke bomb? You can add sticky web inside to block the view and restrict the enemy's movements at the same time."
Although he didn't get into the Hero Course, the Support Course was more suitable for Midoriya's talents. With all the materials and tools available, he could realize all the design plans he had thought of.
"Forget that, Midoriya-chan, look at this jetpack I made! With roller shoes, the speed will be amazing!"
The genius inventor girl had just joined the Support Course and started making things right away. The jet equipment in her hand was just finished yesterday, and now she wanted Midoriya to test it.
"I'll pass... I can't even use roller shoes properly!"
Midoriya waved his hand awkwardly to refuse. Although roller shoes were easy to learn, mastering roller shoes that could reach speeds of 150 km/h required more skill.
"What a pity, I worked so hard to make this baby!"
Hatsume Mei had spent nearly ten months making the roller shoes for Midoriya, with many hidden features, but Midoriya hadn't even mastered the basics yet.
The rules in the Support Course were very free. Basically, if you didn't come to school, the teachers wouldn't ask. The entrance exam was a filter, and students who got into the Support Course were mostly invention enthusiasts. Too much interference would be bad for their creativity.
Thanks to the free atmosphere in the Support Course, Midoriya Izuku had a new daily routine at U.A. High School.
He would visit other classes. Whenever Hero Course Class A had a break, Midoriya would shamelessly run over to find Ojiro and ask about All Might's lessons.
In Hero Course Class A, Midoriya also met two unexpected people. One was the tea-haired girl he saved during the entrance exam, Uraraka Ochako. She also got into Hero Course Class A and felt guilty that Midoriya didn't get into the Hero Course.
Ochako thought it was her fault. If Midoriya hadn't saved her and wasted time, he might have gotten into the Hero Course.
But Midoriya laughed and explained, "Actually, I have no Quirk!"
Uraraka Ochako felt a bit less guilty and started to admire Midoriya Izuku sincerely.
The other person was Bakugo Katsuki.
When he saw Midoriya Izuku, he naturally didn't have a good expression. When he found out Midoriya got into the Support Course, he mocked Midoriya for overestimating himself by trying for the Hero Course.
Midoriya didn't deny it. Failure was failure, and there was no need for excuses. Failure helped him understand his weaknesses and improve.
After Togata Mirio returned to school from his hero internship, he met Midoriya Izuku. He congratulated Midoriya on getting into U.A. High School and shared his experiences of going on missions with All Might.

In the first few days of school, Midoriya Izuku often visited Hero Course Class A. With his friendly attitude, he quickly got to know the Class A students.
"Midoriya, you're here?"
Ojiro Mashirao was the first to greet Midoriya. He had performed well in the entrance exam and got into Hero Course Class A, making Midoriya envious.
"Damn it, Deku, why are you here again? Can't you stay in your Support Course!!"
Timing his visit during Hero Course Class A's break, Bakugo Katsuki spoke angrily, clearly not welcoming Midoriya.
"Bakugo, you're so rude. Midoriya's efforts to join the Hero Course deserve respect!"
Hero Course Class A's Iida Tenya, who had taken the entrance exam with Midoriya, had a Quirk called "Engine" in his calves. He was the younger brother of the famous turbo hero "Ingenium."
Iida saw with his own eyes how Midoriya defeated the robot mock enemy in the exam and then saved Uraraka Ochako without hesitation. Later, when he learned that Midoriya had no Quirk and achieved this level through training alone, he was very impressed with Midoriya Izuku!!
"Midoriya, you're here..."
Uraraka Ochako quickly greeted Midoriya, but she was a bit shy and didn't say much.
"Hello, Uraraka and Iida, and Kacchan... You're still the same in the Hero Course, huh."
"Mind your own business!"
Midoriya's words made the hot-tempered Bakugo Katsuki and the other classmates cover their eyes in embarrassment. How did that saying go again?
Bakugo is their classmate, and the whole class feels ashamed...
"Midoriya, are you here to learn about our courses today?"
Uraraka Ochako kindly asked Midoriya. Recently, Midoriya often came to the Hero Course to learn about their studies, treating himself as a Hero Course student.
"No, today I came to ask Iida for advice."
"Me?"
Midoriya Izuku nodded. The only one who could help him with his current problem was Iida Tenya from Hero Course Class A.
In the afternoon at U.A. High School, Midoriya Izuku was on the sports field, and Iida Tenya came because of Midoriya's invitation.
"Because I can't use my equipment well now, I want to ask Iida for tips on high-speed movement."
Pointing to his roller shoes, Midoriya made Iida realize what was going on.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Iida Tenya's Quirk is "Engine," and Midoriya's roller shoes are very similar. Midoriya often loses balance at high speeds, and Iida is the best person to give advice.
The next day, in the Support Course test field, Midoriya Izuku and Hatsume Mei were ready to test.
"Midoriya-chan, let's start!"
As Hatsume Mei counted down, Midoriya focused. After Iida corrected his mistakes yesterday, he rarely fell while using the roller shoes at high speeds.
"3, 2, 1!"
At Hatsume Mei's command, Midoriya Izuku sprinted out. The roller shoes were at full speed, and Midoriya kept his balance. He made a beautiful 180° turn at the designated spot and sprinted back to the starting point.
"Midoriya-chan, well done! You've mastered it!"
"It's really thanks to Iida. I must thank him properly!"
Midoriya was very pleased. He had fallen many times while practicing with the roller shoes, and the "Recovery Girl" in the infirmary had warned him many times that she wouldn't treat him if he got hurt again.
But each time, Midoriya shamelessly went to the old lady, and "Recovery Girl" could only treat the battered child with pity.
"Now that you've got the movement down, Midoriya-chan, let's try the other functions!"
The excited genius inventor girl didn't hesitate to have Midoriya start the next project for data collection.
"Um... Hatsume Mei, how many functions did you add to the roller shoes?"
"Not many, just over ten! Hurry up and start!!"
"Sigh!!"
The sad Midoriya Izuku, his hellish life at U.A. High School had begun!
