Walking ho, Midoriya Izuku happily held his phone, posting online about eting All Might.

"A lot of people want to see All Might!"

As the No.1 hero, All Might! He was called the "Symbol of Peace" and was a beloved hero in Japan. He often did hero work in various cities and even other countries. Being able to see him in person was very lucky.

Thinking that good things shouldn't be kept to himself, Midoriya Izuku posted about All Might being in his city, hoping more people could see his idol.

But Izuku still felt a bit awkward because he didn't give All Might his real na, but used his disguise na "Akaya Kaiun."

"It's okay!"

Clenching his fist to cheer himself up, Midoriya Izuku muttered to himself, "In the future, I'll tell All Might as Midoriya Izuku, when I beco a hero!"

Just as Izuku made up his mind, he suddenly heard explosions and saw fire and black smoke not far away.

"A VIllain attack!?"

Thinking of the first ti he encountered the werewolf, where the enemy caused chaos in public, Izuku felt he couldn't just sit by and do nothing. He imdiately ran towards the location.

When Midoriya Izuku arrived, there were already many people gathered in a line, blocking his view. The crowd was packed tightly, and Izuku couldn't squeeze through.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

He could hear the familiar sound of explosions from inside, but his middle school height made it impossible to see what was happening, which made him anxious.

"Um..."

As Midoriya Izuku tried to find a way to see through the crowd, soone suddenly placed a hand on his shoulder.

Turning around, Izuku saw a very thin, sickly-looking man with the sa blonde hair color as All Might. He was wearing a white shirt, the sa style Izuku had seen All Might wearing not long ago.

This strange-looking man had his hand on Midoriya's shoulder, making Izuku curiously ask:

"Can I help you with sothing?"

"Well... you want to know what's happening inside, right..."

Hearing the blonde man's kind inquiry, Midoriya nodded. His height and the crowd blocking the way made it impossible for him to see inside.

"Actually... it's a mud monster wrapping around a student... causing a lot of destruction..."

"Mud!?" Midoriya Izuku was shocked. Wasn't this the sa enemy that attacked him not long ago and was shattered into pieces by All Might and put into a soda bottle?

"Didn't All Might defeat that mud monster?" The unusual situation made Izuku blurt out his thoughts.

"...Maybe All Might was careless... and let the enemy escape..."

Hearing Midoriya's surprised words, the blonde man replied nervously, as if it was his fault.

"Impossible, the enemy must have used so trick, forcing All Might to let him escape..."

In his fanatical mode, Midoriya Izuku's mind started to run wild, not considering that the mud monster was trapped in a soda bottle and unable to move. He didn't notice the thin blonde man wiping cold sweat from his forehead...

"Unforgivable!!"

Midoriya Izuku's cold words, filled with killing intent, startled the blonde man beside him, who had no idea what was happening.

"You said the sludge wrapped around a student. It must have taken advantage of All Might's distraction to kidnap a hostage. The enemy is really sneaky!"

The blond man couldn't close his mouth. He saw Midoriya Izuku instantly co up with a whole scenario in his mind, then look angry and cold, saying:

"The sludge wants to use this thod to get back at All Might, damaging his reputation and hurting others. The enemy is truly evil!!"

"Uh... calm down... there are other professional heroes inside... now that the sludge has kidnapped a student, there's no way to act..."

Seeing Midoriya Izuku's actions, the blond man quickly tried to stop him. He was afraid this kid would do sothing dangerous in his anger.

"Don't worry, I'm very calm. That's why I need to step in now!"

Midoriya Izuku clenched his fist, looking at the "Reaper Gloves" on his hands. There was no one more suitable to rescue the hostage than him.

"All Might said not long ago: Experts are skilled at fighting any enemy!" Rembering what All Might had said to him not long ago, Midoriya recorded it as one of his motivational quotes and confidently said:

"This ti, I'll hit the enemy's weak spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the steel wires from Midoriya's "Reaper Gloves" shot out, wrapping around a building window on the side of the street, pulling him off the ground. The blond man was left muttering to himself:

"I rember... Akaya Kaiun, right... As soone this kid looks up to, I'm really ashad..."

From the building window, Midoriya Izuku's view widened. He could see the sludge enemy causing havoc in the center of the street, with professional heroes like Mount Lady and Kamui Woods nearby, trying not to harm the hostage.

When Midoriya focused on the hostage wrapped in sludge, he was surprised! The hostage was soone he knew, his classmate Bakugo Katsuki. No wonder the explosion sounds were so familiar; it really was soone he knew.

But this wasn't the ti to be surprised. Midoriya Izuku quickly calculated how to rescue Bakugo.

"Kid, it's dangerous here, leave now!"

Midoriya's actions naturally caught the attention of the professional heroes. Kamui Woods imdiately warned him. If the enemy hurt him, it would be bad.

"This will work!"

Having calculated everything, Midoriya Izuku didn't respond to the professional hero. He pulled up his scarf to cover half his face, then...

"Action!"

The steel wires from his right hand shot out, wrapping around Bakugo Katsuki, who was held hostage by the sludge. The wires were very discreet, so the enemy didn't notice.

After successfully wrapping the steel wires around Bakugo, Midoriya pulled hard with his right hand!

Bakugo's body was mostly pulled out of the sludge, but the sludge still clung tightly to him. When the enemy realized soone was trying to rescue his hostage, he saw Midoriya Izuku.

"It's you again, steel wire kid! Don't think you can take my prey!"

The sludge enemy shouted, tightening his grip on Bakugo. Unless it was All Might with his storm-causing punch, there was no way to rescue the hostage.

"Steel wire? Is it the 'Steel Wire Death God'?"

"Is it that active kid from not long ago? I can't believe we see him here!"

"Truly a young hero!"

After the mud monster called out Midoriya Izuku's identity, the pro heroes and onlookers praised him, but Midoriya was busy saving people and didn't care about what others thought of him.

The steel wire pulled Bakugo's body out a bit, but the mud was about to swallow him again. Midoriya Izuku didn't panic; he had already guessed that the steel wire couldn't directly pull Bakugo out. But!

Midoriya still had his left hand free and was ready for the next move. With all his strength, he swung his left hand, wrapping and throwing a large concrete block from the ground at the mud monster!

"Steel Wire Technique: Throw"

Midoriya Izuku's long-term strength training allowed him to move heavy objects like large concrete blocks, even if he couldn't pull sothing as heavy as a truck.

After seeing All Might defeat the mud monster, Midoriya understood that the mud monster's fluid nature made it immune to sharp cutting attacks, similar to water. But! Water can be splashed by a big rock!

Bakugo was pulled out of the mud by Midoriya Izuku's right-hand steel wire, while the large concrete block thrown by his left-hand steel wire hit the mud monster's body!

Like a rock thrown into water, the mud monster's body splashed everywhere, and the tentacles entangling Bakugo were affected and retracted!

At the sa ti, Midoriya seized the opportunity and pulled Bakugo completely out of the mud monster's body with a strong tug of his right hand!

"Great!!"

Successfully rescuing Bakugo, the pro heroes and onlookers cheered in unison, but Izuku didn't let his guard down. The mud monster wasn't defeated yet!

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

Rescued by Midoriya Izuku, Bakugo Katsuki kept cursing in frustration. Being kidnapped and used as a hostage was a great humiliation for him.

"Good, now that the hostage is rescued, leave the rest to us!"

As the pro heroes prepared to take over and defeat the enemy, Midoriya Izuku lowered his voice to avoid being recognized and quickly said:

"The mud monster is immune to physical attacks. My steel wire has no effect on him. Kamui Woods and Death Arms, your attacks won't work either!"

Midoriya Izuku's words were acknowledged by the two pro heroes. Their previous feints had no effect on the enemy. This type of Quirk was really troubleso.

Everyone turned their eyes to another pro hero, and Midoriya suggested:

"Mount Lady, can you crush the mud monster into pieces? He won't die!"

"No way!" To Midoriya's surprise, Mount Lady refused decisively. She said with disgust, "Being entangled by such a dirty enemy would ruin my reputation as a woman!"

"Uh... that's a hard reason to argue with..." Midoriya Izuku felt awkward, and Kamui Woods and Death Arms covered their faces in embarrassnt, admitting they were from the sa agency and feeling ashad of Mount Lady's words.

"Damn steel wire brat, you're as annoying as All Might!!"

The scattered sludge quickly reford into one mass and, while shouting, surged towards Midoriya Izuku.

Midoriya used his steel wires to pull himself away from the spot, also dragging the angry Bakugo Katsuki along to prevent him from being captured again.

Seeing Bakugo's pride hurt and feeling ashad, Midoriya Izuku suddenly made a suggestion, lowering his voice to avoid being recognized by Bakugo. He said:

"My na is Akaya Kaiun. My steel wires don't work on the sludge enemy. I saw your Quirk just now; it seems to be explosions, right?"

"What do you an?"

Even though Bakugo was saved by Midoriya Izuku, he was still a bit awkward and didn't thank his savior properly.

"I'll use my steel wires to hold you. Use your explosions to blow up the sludge. Only you can do it now. Of course, you can choose to refuse!"

"No! I agree!!"

Understanding what the person in front of him ant, Bakugo had a fierce smile on his face. Being kidnapped by the sludge was a great humiliation for him, and now he wouldn't miss the chance to redeem himself!

"Then let's do it!"

Without further ado, Midoriya Izuku wrapped the steel wires around Bakugo's limbs and body, then threw him forcefully in front of the sludge enemy. With a fierce smile, Bakugo imdiately launched his most powerful explosion at the enemy!

"BOOM!!"

The deafening explosion showed that Bakugo didn't hold back against the enemy who embarrassed him. He used all his strength in the blast.

At the sa ti, the sludge enemy wouldn't just let himself be attacked. He imdiately counterattacked, with sludge tentacles sweeping towards Bakugo. But just as the tentacles were about to capture Bakugo, Midoriya pulled him back, getting him out of the tentacles' reach.

Bakugo's explosion created a large cloud of black smoke, blocking the view. At this mont, Midoriya couldn't see the enemy's condition, so he pulled Bakugo back to his side. When the smoke cleared, a large chunk of the sludge's body was missing.

"Damn brats, I'll kill you!!"

The completely enraged sludge surged towards Midoriya and Bakugo, but it was in vain. With the high mobility provided by the steel wires, Midoriya Izuku used one hand to wrap the wires around other points to pull himself, while the other hand's wires wrapped around Bakugo to move him as well.

The sludge enemy could only flail uselessly. In the face of Midoriya Izuku's mobility, catching up was impossible.

"Amazing..."

The professional heroes and onlookers watched as the two middle school students seed to toy with the sludge enemy. When the sludge tried to catch them, Midoriya's steel wires would reposition them; and with Bakugo's continuous explosions, the sludge was reduced to a small piece.

"Akaya..."

The blond man blushed, admitting that he was Midoriya Izuku's most admired hero, All Might.

Due to a severe injury from fighting a strong enemy years ago, All Might had his stomach removed and could only maintain his Quirk state for three hours a day to do hero work.

With little ti left in his Quirk state, All Might hurried to hand the enemy over to the police, only to find that the soda bottle in his pocket was missing. He imdiately turned back to search for the enemy... but unfortunately, his Quirk ti had run out.

"Die, you bastard!!"

Once again pulled by Midoriya's steel wire, Bakugo's full-power explosion completely destroyed the mud monster into pieces. Now, the ground was covered with mud wriggling like slugs, trying to co together.

"Is it done?"

The pro heroes and onlookers saw Midoriya Izuku pulling Bakugo and continuously exploding, completely blowing the mud monster into pieces. Now, it was finally over.

After everything ended, Bakugo's feelings of humiliation finally cald down. At least he had blown that mud jerk into pieces himself. At the sa ti...

Bakugo felt a bit awkward. He wanted to thank the "Steel Wire Death God," the guy nad Akaya Kaiun. Without his help, this embarrassing incident would have been rembered for life.

As Bakugo hesitated on how to express his thanks, the onlookers, waiting reporters, and even pro heroes rushed towards them, wanting to et the "Steel Wire Death God."

"Hey! You can trap the mud monster in a soda bottle. I'm leaving now!!"

Seeing the crowd rushing towards him, Midoriya Izuku was startled. He imdiately used his steel wire to wrap around a high place, mimicking "Spider-Man" to escape, while leaving instructions on how to trap the mud monster.

"He's gone..."

People who wanted to see the true face of the "Steel Wire Death God" were disappointed, but they quickly turned their attention to Bakugo, starting to show concern. After all, his bravery was witnessed by everyone.

"Akaya Kaiun... I'll thank him next ti."

Bakugo thought to himself, not knowing when they would et again.
