Quirkless Hero

The match between Uraraka Ochako and Takeyama Urei ended as soon as it started...

The audience was stunned. Losing a match like this was unexpected. It was a sure win, but she stepped out of bounds...

"Don't mind it!"

"Don't mind it..."

The audience once again started chanting "Don't worry" to comfort the contestants. After Sero Hanta, Takeyama Urei was the second contestant to receive this comfort, and she felt very sad!

It wasn't losing to Ochako because of her gigantification Quirk that made her sad, but why was she being treated the same as Sero Hanta? Didn't they know that saying "Don't worry" made her feel very embarrassed?

However, after coming down to the audience seats, Midoriya Izuku also said "Don't worry" to Takeyama Urei!

Takeyama-san immediately felt that being comforted like this wasn't so bad...

After the match between Takeyama Urei and Uraraka Ochako ended, the last contestants of the first round took the stage: Midoriya Izuku vs. Iida Tenya!

"Support Course's Midoriya Izuku, who won first place in both the first preliminary round and the second official match, let's see how he performs in the finals!"

"Hero Class A's Iida Tenya, who also performed well in the first and second matches, has a Quirk called 'Engine,' which gives him super speed!"

Present Mic introduced the contestants, and both were ready, waiting for Midnight to announce the start of the match!

"Hatsume Mei... seriously..."

On the stage, Midoriya Izuku felt a headache coming on. Hatsume Mei had given him a very tough task, and he had to complete it!

Although he felt sorry for Iida, Midoriya had to follow Hatsume Mei's instructions, as he owed her too many favors.

"Start the match!!"

With Midnight's command, Iida Tenya activated his "Engine" and dashed towards Midoriya Izuku at high speed!

Midoriya Izuku, wearing roller shoes called "Storm King," wasn't slower than Iida. With a swift move, he activated the jet on his arm, adjusted his direction at high speed, and got behind Iida. Then... Midoriya just patted Iida's shoulder.

"The arm-mounted jet can spray from both the front and back, allowing you to adjust the angle freely. Whether you have a flying Quirk or a speed Quirk, with this, you won't have trouble turning!"

At this moment, Hatsume Mei's loud voice echoed through the arena. When everyone looked at her, she was holding a loudspeaker, introducing her invention from the audience seats!

"The Support Course students..."

Present Mic, the commentator hero, was at a loss for words. The U.A. High School Sports Festival allowed Support Course students to wear their equipment in the competition, mainly to promote their inventions.

Every year, large manufacturers and companies came to the festival to see if any students had outstanding inventions. If they did, they could buy the patents and development rights. The Support Course students were potential salespeople!

"Midoriya..."

"I'm really sorry, Iida... but I'm from the Support Course~~"

Iida thought it would be a fair and just final match, but as soon as he got on stage, he became a test target for equipment. Hatsume Mei was in the audience, vigorously promoting her products, which Iida found intolerable!

Feeling guilty, Midoriya Izuku activated the rocket backpack on his back to float into the air as Iida Tenya charged at him again.

"The portable rocket backpack has powerful thrust, allowing you to soar into the sky or charge forward. It's perfect for those lacking explosive speed!"

Seeing Midoriya's performance, Hatsume Mei quickly introduced the equipment. Many pro heroes were interested since their Quirks weren't all-powerful.

"Darn it! Midoriya, stop right there!!"

After the rocket backpack lifted him, Midoriya quickly landed back on the ring, with Iida Tenya chasing after him. Midoriya didn't dare wait and activated the "King of Storms" on his feet to escape.

The rest of the match was mostly Midoriya Izuku showcasing various equipment. Before the match, Hatsume Mei had given him all the equipment she had registered, with the simple goal of showing them all off!

...

The third match turned into Hatsume Mei's sales pitch. For ten minutes, Midoriya used all the equipment he had, leaving Iida Tenya exhausted and unable to run anymore.

This match was pure physical and mental torture. Iida, trembling, adjusted his glasses. He just wanted to throw a pen, but unfortunately, he didn't have one.

"Midoriya, I misjudged you!!"

"Sorry... I'm from the Support Course..."

Seeing the kind-hearted Iida Tenya so angry, Midoriya Izuku felt incredibly guilty. But there was nothing he could do... after all, he was from the Support Course!

"Midoriya-chan! It's OK!!"

Hatsume Mei was very pleased, having fully explained her equipment to everyone. But it was tough for Midoriya Izuku and Iida Tenya, who had become actors showcasing the equipment.

"Sorry, Iida!"

Midoriya, covering his mouth in guilt, not only made Iida act with him but also had to eliminate him... reality was too cruel!

"Midoriya, let's end this!!"

Iida Tenya, having rested a bit, knew that ordinary moves wouldn't defeat Midoriya. So he used his ultimate move!

"Piston Engine: Burst Dash"

In an instant, Iida Tenya charged at Midoriya Izuku with speed too fast to see. After using this move, his Quirk "Engine" would temporarily shut down, making it a must-hit move.

With the high speed from the burst engine, Iida Tenya reached Midoriya Izuku in the blink of an eye, aiming his knee at Midoriya. If this hit landed, it would definitely knock him down!

However, as they passed each other... it was Iida Tenya who lost consciousness and fell on the stage...

"Winner, Midoriya Izuku!!"

The main referee Midnight announced, and the audience cheered for the contestant who advanced to the next round!

At that moment, as Iida Tenya charged at his opponent, Midoriya quickly passed by and struck Iida's neck with a hand chop.

"Carotid artery"

Because when learning Bajiquan, Master Ojiro taught students how to subdue opponents without hurting them by hitting the carotid artery with a certain force to make them faint.

Thanks to Midoriya Izuku's long-term training, he could catch Iida Tenya's high-speed movements!
