Chapter 16: A New Beginning.

In the new semester, Midoriya Izuku, who has been keeping a low profile, encountered an unexpected incident on his way to school. It wasn't that he ran into an enemy himself, but he came across a battle between a professional hero and an enemy.

"Kamui Woods" was fighting a giant enemy, and Midoriya was excited to watch. Kamui Woods, a recently popular professional hero, was one of his favorite heroes because he used his "Wood" Quirk to bind enemies, which provided Midoriya with a lot of combat experience.

Just as Kamui Woods was about to use his special move to bind the enemy, a much larger female hero suddenly kicked the enemy, taking him down in one blow!

"I'm the new hero, 'Mount Lady'!"

At the same time, a large group of reporters started taking pictures like crazy, making Midoriya a bit embarrassed. Seeing that the situation was over, he quickly ran to school. It wouldn't be good to be late because he was watching the excitement.

Today, Midoriya Izuku's luck might not be so good. After a rare period of peace, Bakugo found him again...

U.A. High School, the place where only the best of the best in Japan can enroll. When the teacher read out the students' future aspirations, besides Bakugo Katsuki choosing U.A. High School, Midoriya Izuku also chose U.A. High School.

When the teacher read it out, the whole class burst into laughter. After class, Bakugo maliciously approached him!

"Hey, Deku? What makes you think you can stand on the same stage as me? You, a 'Quirkless' person, still dreaming of becoming a hero?!"

Bakugo's arrogant and harsh taunt didn't anger Midoriya. He just replied:

"I'm going to the Support Course, is that not okay?"

Bakugo was instantly speechless. He wanted to say something but couldn't. Midoriya Izuku said he was going to take the Support Course exam?

Bakugo knew very well that Midoriya had always dreamed of becoming a hero. Now he was giving up so easily?! Feeling a bit confused, Bakugo returned to his seat to think about what Midoriya's words meant!

"I only said I was going to the Support Course, not that I didn't want to become a hero."

Midoriya kept this thought to himself. During this time, he had carefully researched U.A. High School's rules and knew that no matter how good his grades were, without a Quirk, he wouldn't be accepted into the Hero Course. But that didn't mean he had completely given up.

He would take both the Hero Course and Support Course exams. Since they were entirely different subjects, the exam projects were also different. But no matter what, he had to give it a try. Even if he failed, it didn't matter. At least he would have tried his best!

In Japan, school usually ends early, so Midoriya Izuku, a member of the "Go-Home Club," went to his usual spot, the seaside park.

"Midoriya-chan, why are you thinking of going out again?"

In the secret base, Hatsume Mei asked through the communication device, while Midoriya Izuku was dyeing his green hair black.

That's right, Midoriya Izuku was going to act as the "Steel Wire Death God" again, even though he denied this title himself!

"I need real combat experience..."

Looking at the scars on his hands that were gradually healing, Izuku had mastered the use of the new steel wire after long training and no longer cut his fingers, but it still wasn't enough.

Lacking real combat experience, enemies wouldn't just stand still like targets. He needed real battles to understand his weaknesses.

After being quiet for half a semester, Midoriya Izuku decided to take action again!

Of course, he had to be careful. This time, Midoriya Izuku not only dyed his hair black but also used styling gel to change his hairstyle completely. He even wrapped a gray scarf around his neck to cover his face as much as possible.

"How do I look?"

Midoriya Izuku stood in front of the video device, asking Hatsume Mei to comment on his disguise.

"Who are you? I don't recognize you at all!"

After taking a picture of himself with his phone, Izuku was very satisfied with the photo.

"Great, this will do!"

Now, even if he stood in front of his mom, Midoriya Inko, she wouldn't recognize him. The disguise was a success.

"But Midoriya-chan, what if someone asks your name?"

Hatsume Mei mentioned that the rumors about the "Steel Wire Death God" hadn't faded yet. If Izuku went out to cause trouble now, he would definitely be recognized and asked for his name.

"I'll deal with that when it happens..."

Izuku hadn't really thought about this. His style was to finish the job and leave, not staying around for people to see.

"You really are..."

Midoriya Izuku set off, the "Steel Wire Death God" in action!

"Wait! This isn't a joke, right? All Might is here?"

Excitedly looking at the news on his phone, Midoriya Izuku saw that "All Might" seemed to have come to his city. This was huge news!

On the street, Izuku's reaction naturally drew attention from passersby, but when they heard about All Might's arrival, they lost interest. Midoriya Izuku was a bit excited.

All Might's news had already spread throughout the city. Izuku had been in class and then busy with his disguise, so he hadn't paid attention to the news. Now, his reaction was just like any All Might fan.

"I really want to see All Might... I really want to see All Might..."

Muttering to himself again, Midoriya Izuku's original plan was to go to the neighboring city to find those two small-time crooks, the strong guy and the rat guy, to practice. Their low skill level made them perfect for practice without danger, but now his plan was disrupted!

The news of All Might's arrival was everywhere, and Midoriya Izuku didn't want to miss the chance to meet his most admired hero. So he decided!

"Go see All Might!"

Even if it was just a glance, Midoriya Izuku wanted to see All Might. But now a new problem arose.

"Where will All Might be?"

The news said that All Might was seen subduing enemies in the city center and showed footage taken with a phone, but no one actually knew where All Might was.

Without a clear goal, Midoriya felt it was hard to proceed. The city was quite large, and wandering around aimlessly to bump into All Might was too unlikely. Not having a direction was really troublesome.

After wandering around a few places, Midoriya Izuku saw people talking about All Might's arrival, but he didn't see him anywhere.

Midoriya sighed, thinking that All Might might have already left.

As the No.1 hero, All Might had many things to handle every day and probably wouldn't stay in one city for too long. Midoriya sighed again, feeling disappointed that he didn't get to see All Might.

With a heavy heart, Midoriya Izuku was passing under a bridge when suddenly a sewer cover opened, and a mass of sludge lunged at his back!

However, it missed!

Thanks to his long-term training, Midoriya's senses were sharp, and his reactions were quick. Having fought dangerous enemies before, his combat skills were far beyond those of ordinary people.

After rolling to dodge the sludge, Midoriya quickly turned to face the thing that attacked him!

"An enemy!?"

In front of him was a mass of constantly writhing and changing sludge!
