Book Synopsis

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world's greatest hero, but greatness won't come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called "Quirks"? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

Class 1-A is working on developing their ultimate moves--a process that will test their strength and creativity in all-new ways! To help them out, Mei Hatsume, a student from the Support Course, is brought in to develop improvements to their costumes. The attention from Mei might be more than Midoriya can handle, but he'll need every edge he can get to pass the next hurdle for the students of U.A.--the Provisional Licensing Exam!
