Quirkless Hero

Chapter 8: Chapter 8. Daily Learning.



"Two robbers were subdued by a 'Vigilante' passerby using steel wire-like quirk. Based on the criminals' statements and the scene, it is believed to be the same middle school student who subdued the werewolf..."

At home, Midoriya Izuku was watching the news. The reporter showed two pictures: one of the werewolf bound by the web and the other of the two robbers hanging upside down from the streetlight pole. This kind of gossip news was always popular in the media. Izuku could see his news on any channel!

"The coverage is huge!"

"Because they heard it was a middle school student, it caught people's attention more!"

As Midoriya marveled at his news coverage, his mom, Midoriya Inko, placed dinner on the table and casually mentioned what Izuku had said.

"But when I first heard that the werewolf quirk enemy was subdued by a middle school student, and the interviewed pedestrians said the kid had green hair, I was scared and thought it was you, Izuku!"

"How could it be? I'm 'quirkless.' If I met such a fierce enemy, I wouldn't even have time to run away. Besides, didn't they say the middle school student had black hair?"

When his mom, Midoriya Inko, suddenly mentioned it, Izuku quickly waved his hands and denied it, his face showing nervousness!!

"Yeah! I was also thinking, why would Izuku go and do something so dangerous!!"

Midoriya's mom agreed with her son, not noticing that Izuku had turned his face away in embarrassment!

"Lying to mom is so hard!!"

 

Izuku had never lied to anyone before, let alone his own mom, Midoriya Inko. He felt really uncomfortable!

But there was no choice. To achieve his dream of becoming a hero, he had to do some dangerous training. Midoriya Izuku decided this was necessary!

After quickly finishing his meal, Midoriya Izuku went straight to his room and locked the door!

He took out the communication device from his clothes, and the image of the genius girl Hatsume Mei appeared!

"Midoriya-chan, you're right on time today. Let's get started!"

"Thank you, Hatsume Mei!"

Midoriya Izuku took out his notebook and watched the knowledge Hatsume Mei was sharing through the video. He listened carefully and took notes. After about an hour, there was a knock on the door!

"Izuku, do you want some fruit?"

"Yes, mom!"

Midoriya gestured to Hatsume Mei, who understood and turned off the video to avoid his mom, Midoriya Inko, finding out.

When he opened the door, Midoriya's mom looked suspiciously around his room but didn't find anything strange. Izuku gratefully took the fruit plate from her, and Midoriya Inko reluctantly left!

"It's strange. I often hear a girl's voice from Izuku's room, but I can't find anything strange!"

Midoriya Inko had been worried. For the past two years, she occasionally heard a girl's voice from Midoriya Izuku's room and thought her son had reached that age. After Izuku went to school, she searched thoroughly!

But she found nothing. Even his computer was full of All Might's stuff, which made Midoriya Inko annoyed at seeing All Might's face!

After a long search with no results, Midoriya Inko didn't want to talk to Izuku about it, as it would be awkward if it was something related to his teenage years!

Over time, Midoriya Inko didn't think much about it, but she would occasionally try to catch her son off guard, only to find nothing unusual!

"Midoriya-chan, does your mom think you're hiding something... hehe!!"

As soon as the communication resumed, Hatsume Mei covered her mouth and laughed evilly, with a knowing look on her face!

"Uh..."

Izuku turned his head to the side in embarrassment. Even a simple guy like him understood what Hatsume Mei meant, but it was still awkward for him. He had filled his computer's storage several times with information about professional heroes and had several large-capacity USB drives as backups!

(By the way, 65% of Midoriya Izuku's hero information is about All Might, and the remaining 35% is about other professional heroes!)

"Don't be so shy, you've been in private communication with me for two years, even if it's someone else, it's still a youthful girl!"

Hatsume Mei had a seductive expression on her face, while her hand was still on her clothes, with the gesture that if you say so, I'll take it off and show it to you!

However, contrary to expectations, Midoriya Izuku looked completely untempted, like a monk who had achieved enlightenment. He calmly said:

"Including this time, Hatsume Mei, you've tried to tempt me 36 times. The first time, I was so scared I turned off the video. The second time, I blushed and looked away. By the third time, I realized you were just messing with me..."

"Hmm! Midoriya-chan, you're really not much of a man!"

Sitting as calmly as a Buddha, Midoriya Izuku didn't change his expression. He continued to take notes on what Hatsume Mei had just explained. The inventor girl, realizing her solo act wasn't working, returned to her role as a teacher and continued to teach Izuku about invention and research!

The next day, after school, Midoriya Izuku ran to the seaside park as usual. Yesterday, when their communication ended, he received Hatsume Mei's last message:

"Midoriya-chan, I won't be available tomorrow. You'll have to manage on your own!"

Hatsume Mei, Midoriya Izuku's invention teacher, would teach him about inventions whenever she had time. But she wasn't always free, so most of the time, Midoriya had to plan his own activities.

But this doesn't mean Midoriya Izuku is idle. When Hatsume Mei isn't around, Izuku's daily life is actually a tough hellish experience!

He ran to the seaside park, changed his middle school uniform into sportswear at his secret base, and started his daily training!

Equipment can only help him so much. Midoriya Izuku understood this. He had been training hard since he was a kid to make his body stronger than most people, but that still wasn't enough!

From researching professional heroes online, he learned that some heroes' "quirks" weren't very strong, but their strong bodies made their quirks super powerful. This became Midoriya's best goal for his plan!

High-intensity physical training was something Midoriya Izuku did in his extra time every day!

Stamina training is a must for anyone who wants to be a hero. A hero's physical fitness allows them to fight enemies for three days and nights!

After defeating all the small fry, the final boss appears!

When facing the enemy boss on equal footing, and gradually getting weaker from the long fight, at this crucial moment, thinking of his inner hero creed, he would burst out with his last strength to defeat the boss!

At this time, the hero can still stand on the ground and laugh out loud!

Midoriya Izuku kept this in mind and made it the focus of his training!
