I, with no quirk, become a hero!

"A genius in making portable props"

The accessories of the Death Gloves, such as the "Steel Anchor" and "Home Bomb", were all developed by Izuku Midoriya himself. Because he wanted to be a hero, Izuku's research focus has always been on how to assist in increasing his combat effectiveness.

"So what do you do next?"

Midoriya has already packed up all his belongings and put them at Izuku's house. Seeing his determined look, the invention girl has no idea what Izuku is going to do?

"Because you can't bring anything with you to the Hero Department exam, so! Next, I'm going to train my body and combat skills!"

Izuku Midoriya is determined to give the hero department exam a try. His next plan is to customize ten months of hellish training for himself, and he must hone himself into a great person during this time!

21. Bajiquan

What to do in the next ten months?

This is the focus of Izuku Midoriya's thoughts. In addition to the standard written test, the hero department exam of Yuei High School also has a combat test. In this combat test, candidates cannot bring any items, and they must participate only with their own "Quirks".

"How to do?"

This was the question that Midoriya was thinking about at the time. Apart from the equipment and props, the only advantage he had was his physical fitness, so the only route he could take was pointed out.

"Martial Arts"

The fighting skills passed down by the Chinese country across the sea are popular and glorious in this superhuman society; although Japan also has fighting skills similar to "karate", because there are all kinds of personalities in the current superhuman society, they cannot adapt to society and are now in name only.

Just like the mud enemy that Midoriya encountered a few days ago, this kind of enemy's body is fluid, and simple fighting skills such as grappling, throwing, and wrestling are basically seeking death; relatively speaking, fighting skills that simply possess powerful explosiveness and lethality are the popular skills that people are pursuing nowadays.

In this way, Izuku Midoriya's goal is very clear. The physical fitness he has trained since childhood is already the limit of what he can achieve at present. What he lacks is the fighting skills to fully utilize his strength.

"Just do it..."

Midoriya, having confirmed his next move, nodded.

After returning home, he mentioned the matter to his mother, Midoriya Inoko, because he couldn't hide the following situation from his mother, but there was no need to hide it.

"What, Izuku, you want to learn "Martial Arts"?"

"Because I will be promoted to high school after this semester, I want to try to apply for U.A. High School."

While eating, Midoriya was sitting at the dining table with his mother and he expressed his idea of ​​learning martial arts.

"But... wouldn't this be too hard..."

Midoriya Yinzi is a little worried about her child's situation. He doesn't often hang out with friends and focuses on studying. He always gets full marks in all subjects in every exam. This makes her feel relieved but also heartbroken.

Midoriya Inoue also knew that her child was secretly exercising in private, which made her worried that Izuku's body would not be able to cope with it.

"Don't worry, mom. I will make more friends and play with them during this time."

"All right....."

Midoriya Inoue reluctantly agreed with Izuku's words because she knew that her child had few friends now. Even with Bakugo Katsuki, who grew up with him, she had never seen Izuku play with him.

Thus, Izuku Midoriya's journey of learning martial arts began. He only had ten months, and he had to master at least one usable technique.

"So it's here?"

Taking the subway to the neighboring city, Midoriya found his destination according to the route indicated on the map.

In front of me is an ancient house gate with a large plaque hanging on the gate, engraved with two bold characters, "Baji".

Bajiquan, the "martial art" that Izuku Midoriya wanted to learn, he looked up relevant information about fighting techniques on the Internet, and found that "Bajiquan" was the most highly respected in Japan.

There is also a famous Bajiquan gym in Japan, which is not too far from the city where Midoriya is located. He can get there in about an hour by subway.

After confirming that everything was correct, when Izuku Midoriya was about to step in, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

"Are you here to learn Bajiquan?"

"Hey?"

Midoriya turned around in surprise and saw a boy with short yellow hair. He looked the same age as himself. He had a sunny smile on his face, and was wearing a white training suit. He had a big fleshy tail behind him.

"I'm sorry, my name is Obi Hakari Urobuchi, and I'm a student at the Hachigokudo Gym and the son of the gym owner."

"Alas!"

Surprised, Izuku Midoriya and the boy named Oshiro Ufu got to know each other. After learning that Midoriya was indeed here to learn Bajiquan, the boy named Oshiro Ufu led him in.

After entering the gym, Midoriya saw that there were quite a few students inside, all wearing the same white training uniform. A middle-aged man who looked somewhat like White Monkey was teaching the students a lesson harshly.

"Ape man, you're back. Who is this child?"

A middle-aged man who also had a big fleshy tail, when he saw his son coming back, he greeted him and asked about Izuku Midoriya's identity.

"Dad, his name is Izuku Midoriya, and he wants to learn Bajiquan."

"Well, I see."

After hearing Oshiro Uzumaki's introduction, the owner of the gym nodded to confirm. This was not a strange thing. His Bajiquan gym was well-known in Japan, and there was a constant stream of people coming to him to learn Bajiquan.

"Since there is a new junior brother here, please introduce yourself to the senior brothers first!"

The gym leader shouted at Midoriya, causing him to panic and he immediately bowed and introduced himself to the students present.

"Um....My name is Izuku Midoriya!!"

Seeing Midoriya's silly introduction, some of the students present couldn't help laughing, and then they were stared at by the gym owner.

"What are you laughing at! When you first got here, you couldn't even be introduced clearly. Keep practicing!"

After the gym leader spoke, the students no longer dared to slack off and intensified their training, leaving Midoriya standing aside, feeling a little flustered and not knowing what to do.

"If you want to learn Bajiquan, of course I have to open your eyes. Yuanfu, take him in. I will be here soon."

"Okay daddy!"

After receiving the order, Obi Hashirafu took the confused Midoriya Izuku into the backyard of the gym, where various and small training tools were placed. What caught Midoriya's attention the most was a large steel plate embedded in a bracket.

Midoriya leaned over to take a look and saw fist marks on the steel plate of varying depths, and there were even two large holes on it. Izuku took a look and found that the steel plate was about 5 cm thick, and he touched it with his own hand to confirm that it was real.

"What is this?" Izuku Midoriya was a little surprised. He asked the White Monkey next to him.

"This is the test bench of the Baji Dojo. Students who feel they have made progress in their training can test themselves here."

"Forehead....."

Izuku Midoriya was a little speechless. A 5cm steel plate... If he wanted to pierce it without relying on his Quirk, it would probably be a completely inhuman level.

"Dad, you're here." After hearing Tailed Sarufu's call, Midoriya saw that the master of the Bagi Gym also came to the backyard, and he was wiping his fists at this time.

"Alright, kid! Let me show you how powerful Bajiquan is!"

Seeing this, Midoriya quickly stood aside, and the gym owner naturally stood in front of the testing platform. He stood in a horse stance, concentrating his energy.

As Izuku watched nervously, the gym owner's right fist, which was ready to strike out, was as powerful as a tiger emerging from the mountains!

The punch created a big hole in the steel plate of the training platform, causing Midoriya to drop his jaw in surprise.

Of course, it is not to be said to be extremely powerful. In terms of strength, one punch of All Might can even create a storm, but this is a power that can only be generated by personality.

What surprised Izuku Midoriya was that it was obvious that the gym leader was just like his son, in that the tail behind their backs was their personality, but they were able to penetrate the thick steel plate with just an ordinary person's body. This made him even more determined to learn Bajiquan.

"Now it becomes three holes, hahaha!"

The gym owner burst into laughter for some reason, and Tailed Sarufu quickly explained to Izuku Midoriya.

"One of the big holes was made by a senior brother when he was a student some time ago. My father has some obsessive-compulsive disorder and was uncomfortable seeing the two holes are irregular. He really wanted to fill in another one himself to make it look better."

"By the way, that senior brother's name is Tong Xing Bai Wan!"

22. Roller skates

“Amazing…”

Izuku Midoriya was amazed at the gym owner's Bajiquan skills, which made him more determined to learn Bajiquan. He had to master certain techniques within these ten months.

"You mean, you want to master a skill quickly?"

The gym owner was somewhat displeased after hearing what Izuku Midoriya said. There are always some young people who are too ambitious and do not know their own limits. He has practiced Bajiquan for decades to reach his current level. Of course, there is also the eldest disciple who graduated not long ago and can be regarded as the gym owner's most proud student.

But Midoriya's thoughtless and impatient thinking made the Bajiquan gym owner very unhappy. Want to learn skills without a solid foundation? Even if you build a house, you have to start from the foundation.

Perhaps realizing that his words were a bit impulsive, Izuku Midoriya honestly told the gym leader about his situation.

"I'm a Quirkless person...but I really want to be a hero. I want to take the exam for the hero department of U.A. High School, but there are only ten months left until the exam...I have to hurry."

The gym owner fell silent for a moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Izuku Midoriya in front of him was completely different, as if he had heard similar words a long time ago. That's right!

The owner of the museum seemed to have heard the same thing from his eldest disciple, a man named Tongxing Baiwan.

"I want to be a hero, so I will do my best to fight!"

Knowing what Izuku Midoriya meant, the gym leader also understood what the kid meant, so there was no time to lose!

"Go change into your training clothes. I want to see how good your foundation is!"

When Obi Hashirafu heard what his father said, he immediately pulled Midoriya Izuku to the locker room. Since their family had many students, they also had a lot of training uniforms.

After Midoriya changed into the same white training suit, he was taken to the hall by Oshiro, where his father, the gym leader, was waiting.

"Can you do horse stance?"

“A little bit…”

Midoriya quickly answered the gym master's question, and then the gym master asked him to try horse stance, and Midoriya did so. In his previous training, Izuku often did horse stance, a way to exercise leg muscles and stability.

"Bring two buckets and see."

Following the gym master's instructions, Tailed Sarufu handed the buckets of water in the training ground to Izuku Midoriya. He held the buckets in each hand, standing in a horse stance and holding them steadily.

“The basic skills are very solid…”

The gym owner was a little surprised. He looked at the bucket that Midoriya Izuku was holding in his hand. There was not even a ripple on the water surface, which meant that the child in front of him had perfect physical fitness.

"Very good, it seems that you exercise your body regularly."

The gym owner was unexpectedly satisfied with Izuku Midoriya's foundation. He believed that this child would be a genius in learning Bajiquan. Of course, in the gym owner's definition, genius means hard work.

Usually, many students, when they first come to him, think that they will be geniuses in practicing martial arts and that they can become a master of Bajiquan in just one month.

This often caused the gym owner to scold them. Learning Bajiquan is not like doing scientific research. Everyone's physical fitness is the same at the beginning. The only difference is whether you can train your body well later.

The effect of Bajiquan is just to allow a person to increase their original strength from 10% to 13 or 15%. People who are proficient in the technique may be able to reach 20%.

What this means is that you only have the strength of a weak chicken and can probably only knock down a dog at best; but a person who has the strength to catch a tiger can reach the level of penetrating thick steel plates by learning Bajiquan.

Izuku Midoriya's physical fitness can be said to be fully up to standard, so naturally the gym owner will not refuse his request.

"So you want to learn that technique of Baji?"

The owner asked about Izuku Midoriya, and he immediately answered, having already looked up information online:

"Iron Mountain Damn!"

The Iron Mountain Backstroke of Bajiquan can be said to be the most powerful single-target killing technique. It uses the shoulder and elbow to strike with all the strength, which can break street lamps and trees, and can even kill people easily.

“Is it okay to learn this?”

Obi-Hakufu was a little worried, but Midoriya was determined in his choice. He said:

"Although the entrance exams for the Hero Department of U.A. High School are different every year, they do not let students fight each other. Some students attack reference objects, and some fight against the invigilators, but they all have one thing in common!"

"Candidates with strong offensive means will never suffer any loss!"

Midoriya's words were recognized by the gym leader and his son Tailed Sarufu. As the saying goes, once you have set a goal, you must do your best to achieve it!

"Good boy, this is Izuku Midoriya, right? Now you are the new student of my Hachikoku Gym!"

Here, Izuku Midoriya began to study Bajiquan diligently within these ten months, aiming to master the techniques of Tieshankao within a limited time.

During his extra free time on weekends, Izuku Midoriya would go back to Baji Gym to train and receive instruction from the gym master; and normally, he would also train at the secret base in the seaside park, although most of the equipment and props were sent to Famei.

But the fitness equipment that Midoriya modified is still there, and he made a refrigerator and an old truck into his own training targets, never forgetting to stop exercising.
