"No!"

"No … No, no, no … Ormet is not my teacher …" The other party's question sounded a little aggressive. Midoriya Idehisa blushed and hurriedly explained to the blond boy in front of him, "How could Ormet be my teacher … Haha … If it's true, then I'm so lucky … Hahaha …"

He thought he only heard the last sentence …

He didn't expect it to be everything …

Then, the part about [No personality] …?

"Ah … I'm sorry!

My tone was too serious … "The boy changed his tone and became as approachable as he was when they first met." I did hear your first sentence, Idehisa — 'It's a waste of Ormet's kindness' … It may make you feel awkward, but as — "

The boy with a pair of thick blue eyes paused and continued, "You know, as a fan of Ormet, no one can refuse the opportunity to be close to him."

That's right!

No one can refuse to be close to Ormet …

But I promised Ormet to keep it a secret … Ahhhhhh —

"It's really not!

I, I just … "Frantically scratching his head, Midoriya Idehisa felt that inspiration came to his mind like a lightning bolt." I, I — just sent a private message to Ormet on the official website!

I wanted him to help me formulate a training plan or something … I, I didn't expect him to really reply! "

Yes, that's right …

That's it … A perfect answer … Midoriya Idehisa — good job!

"Ah … is that so …" The boy seemed to have believed the explanation. He scratched his neck apologetically and said, "Sorry to disturb you … Always asking strange questions … Haha … But, speaking of which —"

The blue eyes looked a little lonely and then lit up again. It was only now that Midoriya Idehisa realized that the boy's eyes did not show the same blue level. The left eye was a little whiter, as if it was covered with a thin layer of sea salt.

"If I'm right … [Instructing] you to clean up the waste near [this] beach was also Ormet's plan, right?"

Looking at Midoriya Idehisa, the boy got the expected answer. He looked at the pile of waste in front of him that was about a meter high and involuntarily raised a smile and said, "Sure enough … Ormet still has that [Heroic Spirit]!"

"Indeed … [Heroic Spirit] … Hmm … So this is … 'Heroes should focus on service activities'?"

Midoriya Idehisa, who still remembered Ormet's teachings, could not help but murmur when he heard the blond boy's sigh. He looked up and saw the boy's probing gaze, and then explained in a panic, "… After all, it's Ormet — no matter what, he's the first hero, that [Heroic Spirit] is —"

"That's my goal!"

The boy in the white shirt smiled and looked at Idehisa with determination. It was rare for him to interrupt a stranger without permission. "Becoming a hero like my father, or a hero like [Ormet] is my goal …"

"… Even if I'm judged as [Impersonal] …"

Idehisa, who heard the boy's last sentence, widened his eyes in disbelief. However, the boy's indifferent look did not seem like he was joking. It was as if he suddenly remembered something. Midoriya Idehisa looked at the place where the boy was wrapped in bandages, and then compared the boy's figure with a certain picture in his memory. "You're that boy?!

You're the one who stopped that case of losing control of personality?!

You, you … you have no personality?!!! "

"That's right … Haha." The young man with messy blonde hair instantly knew what the other party was referring to, and he generously admitted it, as if having no personality wasn't a big deal. "Green Valley doesn't have a personality either … I'm really sorry!

I accidentally heard it … "

"But … as a [Impersonal], you've also been denied by many people … right?"

Looking at Midoriya Idehisa who seemed to be out of his mind after guessing his identity in the media yesterday, the boy picked up his cane and moved closer to Idehisa. Then, he stuck out his thumb between the two.

"Actually, I've always thought that since I've been judged as [Impersonal] by others, then …"

The boy twisted his thick callused finger flexibly and said with a smile, "As long as you work hard to achieve [Impersonal]."

"Idehisa —" The boy's blue pupils stained with a smile stared straight into the confused green eyes in front of him. "I believe that Ormet thought the same, which is why he gave you a training plan, Idehisa!"

[Impersonal …

Strive to achieve [Impersonal] …

[Ormet …]

[Yeah, become a hero like Ormet …]

[That's my, Midoriya Idehisa's, dream!!!]

Feeling that his eyes were a little wet, Midoriya Toshihisa, who was rarely acknowledged by his peers, wiped his eyes with his dusty sleeves and said with a whimper, "I-I'm sorry … I was a little too excited …"

"Haha, it's okay. By the way … Idehisa, your goal should be Xiongying, right?"

The boy patted Idehisa's shoulder energetically and said encouragingly, "Please show some confidence!

Even if others know that you're [Impersonal], you still have to stick out your chest and say — "

"I'm [Impersonal]. If you have the guts, stand in my shoes and try to take the Xiongying test!"

"Ah … sounds a little like a rogue … haha."

Did Hachi Mu catch my thoughts in just a split second?

And he's so gentle with strangers …

Yagi is really a good person …

"Thank you very much!!!

Yagi is the one with courage … "Midoriya Idehisa tried hard to hold back his tears as he said to the embarrassed boy who just realized what he said," Yagi is also going to Xiongying!

Yagi, who could single-handedly stop a threat that could threaten half of the city, can easily … "

The sentence stopped in mid-air and disappeared in the echo. The white bandage flashed across the corner of Idehisa's eyes, and he remembered the [Price] that the boy had to bear.

[… Severely burned arms, pierced ankles.]

Such serious injuries …

"… Pass … Xiongying test … right?"

Seeing Idehisa's hesitation, the boy smiled and waved the cane in his right hand. He said, "Call me Ryōei … It's just a minor injury. I'll fully recover in a few days, and it won't affect the test … But …"

The boy's blue eyes curved, and he said calmly,

"That's not the [Power of One]."

"Huh?"

"Haha … I used a lot of small props that my mother and everyone in the Ministry of Science and Technology helped to complete … It's a fluke …" The boy handed the cane to his left hand, and his right arm twitched subconsciously. He maintained the smile on his face and said, "Well … I actually didn't work hard enough …"

"…"

"Haha, Idehisa, it's getting late, I'll see you at the next exam!

I have to go … "Breaking the silence, the young man, Yagi Yoshihide, turned around and walked a few steps forward with the support of his walking stick. However, he stopped at the place where he first appeared.

"Hmm … Right!

If I describe it in more detail, my goal should be to become a [gentle and powerful] hero like Ormet … "

"… That's right, I still need to put in more effort like you, Idehisa —"

"Idehisa!"

Turning his head and waving at the boy standing at the origin, Ryōei smiled and shouted, "Let's do it together —"

"Let those people see it clearly —"

"[Emotionless] is quite powerful!!!!"

Listening to the other party's energetic shouts, his tears were like rainwater accumulating on the eaves on a rainy day. They could no longer stay there. They were squeezing through the gaps between his fingers and dripping into the sand beneath his feet …

Getting Ormet's help was already extremely cunning … Now, he even got Yagi's encouragement …

"I'll do my best —"

"Let them see — woo …"

"[Emotionless] is also amazing!!!"

What he got in response was a thumb covered in thick calluses. It was pointing proudly at the blue sky, like a lighthouse in the darkness, pointing at the direction of the future with unprecedented clarity.

*

"Lack of confidence in oneself is a common problem of [Emotionless] … It seems that Ormet's disciple can't escape this … Sigh … I hope I can help him a little …" Carrying a large bag of scrap and parts in his left hand, Ryōei was really fine except for the slight pain coming from his ankle. "… Also, using immoral deception to get information from others … Next time, don't use it unless it's a big deal … I always feel a little guilty after using it … Haha …"

"And the training plan needs to be strengthened … 300 is still not enough … Try 500?"

"Equipment also needs to be reconsidered. In the future, it's hard to guarantee that the enemy won't have a personality of mass destruction … Relying solely on myself to make the corresponding equipment … Hmm …"

"It's best if it's an arm attachment type … There's no way to heal it … So it has to have both defensive and offensive functions …"

"The production of riding equipment also needs to be put on the agenda …"

Perhaps it was because of the heavy object in his hand that the young man who was deep in thought did not pay attention to the situation around him like he usually did. When he walked out of the seaside park and passed by the crowd that was slowly getting crowded, he very naturally brushed against a skinny stranger's body …

Clang —

"Very sorry."

"Very sorry!"

Two identical sentences rang out at the same time. As usual, Ryōei smiled at the other person apologetically, squatted down to pick up the waste, and prepared to continue to walk to the place where he hitched a ride.

"That …"

The excessively thin young man bent down to pick up the parts at his feet and handed them to Ryōei. He helped him close the bag and said, "… Do you need me to help you carry some of the way?

Young man, you're still injured … "

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, uncle … But you look so hurried, obviously there's something urgent!"

The blond boy quickly hung the bag on his left arm to show that he could handle it by himself. He smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry!

I'm completely fine by myself! "

Waving his bandaged right hand, Ryōei missed the other person's speechless expression and walked to the bus station with a smile that could easily make people have a good impression on him …

The crowd was still surging with time, but the young man stayed where he was. He looked at the delicate candy that the young man put down when he left and carefully put it in his pocket. Then, he whispered in a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar to the public, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
