Book #2 in the My Hero Academia series
A Quirkless boy inherits powers but struggles to control them at Hero Academy.
In a world where most have superpowers, Midoriya, once powerless, inherits the abilities of a legendary hero. But mastering these powers is no easy feat. At U.A. High School, where future heroes train, Midoriya faces fierce competition and the threat of expulsion. Can he rise to the challenge and prove himself among peers with extraordinary Quirks? As he navigates this perilous path, the stakes are high, and the pressure is relentless. Will Midoriya's determination be enough to transform him into the hero he dreams of becoming?
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? Getting into U.A. High School was difficult enough, but it was only the beginning of Midoriya’s long road toward becoming a superhero. The new students all have amazing powers, and although Midoriya has inherited All Might’s abilities, he can barely control them. What’s more, the first-year students are told they will have to compete just to avoid being expelled!
