"My Hero Academia" a world that, on the surface, resembles "One Punch Man" in structure but is actually worlds apart.
In this world, most humans possess abilities called "Quirks." These powers vary widely-some can control fire, others enhance their physical abilities, and some can grow to enormous sizes at will. In short, this is a world where nearly everyone has superpowers.
Since ancient times, it's been said that martial prowess invites lawlessness. In such a social environment, crime runs rampant, giving rise to the profession of heroes.
And the world she had arrived in was none other than "My Hero Academia."
"Then what? That's it? At least give me the full plot summary!!"
Looking at the brief introduction provided by the shameless system, Tokikono's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.
She had watched "One Punch Man," but she hadn't seen a single episode of "My Hero Academia," okay? The biggest advantage of a transmigrator was knowing the plot, yet not only did she lack this advantage, she also had to watch out for her own safety. Before transmigrating, taking on five opponents at once wouldn't have been a problem, but now, sizing up her petite frame, Tokikono felt she might get beaten up even in a one-on-one...
Add to that the maliciously worded main mission. Tokikono could only see a bleak future ahead.
Having never even held a girl's hand her whole life, she was now supposed to seduce someone? Meow meow, was she supposed to use her feminine wiles? Even if she threw all her morals out the window, with her petite, loli-like figure, the only ones who'd fall for her would probably be creepy lolicon perverts, right? Hmm... Though she herself was a lolicon too.
"System, this isn't going to work. I'm completely in the dark here-unfamiliar with the world and the people. What am I supposed to do?"
Seeing that the system was outright ignoring her, Tokikono decided to play the emotional card.
"Look, we've known each other for a while now, right? Can't you change the main mission to something else, like becoming the strongest hero or something..."
[Host, please recognize your current position. Becoming the strongest hero is impossible, but you can become the strongest hero's woman.)
"The strongest hero's woman?"
After a moment of thought, Tokikono fixated on a strange detail.
"Does that mean the protagonist of this world is like Saitama-sensei? If so, maybe I can just cling to him and..."
[The protagonist currently has no Quirk. This is the story of how he grows into the strongest hero.]
"...Alright, alright. So it's not an overpowered protagonist like in 'One Punch Man.' Guess I'll have to rely on myself. But usually, these kinds of classic storylines are shounen manga..."
Tilting her head slightly, Tokikono wore a thoughtful expression.
"Shounen manga, huh? Let me think. The protagonists in these kinds of anime usually share similar personalities. The difficulty of seducing them should be..."
She suddenly fell silent mid-sentence, as if realizing something. After a moment, she started banging her head against the wall with loud thuds, her face twisted in frustration.
"AAAAHHH I must be going crazy! What kind of strategy is this, damn it?! Where's your dignity? Dignity-san, please come back! I need you right now AAAAAHHH!!!"
[This world's cheat system has arrived. Please check your inbox.]
The system's completely emotionless voice echoed in Tokikono's mind, making no attempt to stop the girl's self-destructive behavior.
"Cheat system?"
Hearing this, Tokikono's eyes immediately lit up, stopping her head-banging.
"I want the protagonist halo!!"
[Special Ability: Female Lead - After meeting certain prerequisites, can transform into designated characters, gaining all their skills. Random side effects apply. Currently unlockable characters: Shana, Misaka Mikoto, Hatsune Miku]
Tokikono: "…"
"System, are you still there?"
[Yes, Host]
"Please self-destruct immediately. Thank you."
—Dividing Line—
"Your coffee, please enjoy."
With a practiced smile, Tokikono placed the coffee cup on the table, promptly spilling half its contents across the surface.
After a brief silence, the girl gave the clearly stunned customer a sincere smile.
"Honored guest, if I said this wasn't my fault but gravity's, would you believe me?"
Customer:"…"
Whether out of kindness or malice, that unscrupulous system had long prepared an identity for her in this world - the backstory of a petite, underdeveloped girl who grew up in an orphanage struggling against adversity. But that wasn't the main issue. She was already used to living alone. The real problem became apparent when she descended from the rooftop and returned to her rented room, finally understanding the system's true malice.
"Bare walls" couldn't even begin to describe her living conditions. The tiny room barely accommodated single occupancy, furnished only with a rusty iron bed - nothing else, not even a table. Could this even be called livable space!?
That alone might have been bearable, but Tokikono discovered she'd arrived just in time to face imminent starvation. Scouring the memories implanted by the system, she learned her previous self had worked part-time at a maid café to make ends meet...
After seriously considering how begging might lead to being forcibly [redacted], she silently donned the maid uniform and reported to work only to have half a day's wages deducted for being half a day late.
Working at a maid café tested her personal dignity to its limits. She desperately wanted to pour scalding coffee on those lecherous middle-aged men ogling her, but life's hardships forced compromise. Still, expecting her to flash sweet smiles at customers? She'd rather die.
Before long, rumors spread about a certain maid café featuring a legal loli maid who would look at customers with utter disdain. This quickly drew even more visitors eager to experience her service. The café owner, delighted by the increased revenue, gave her a special raise.
Tokikono: "…"
Daguchang Seaside Park-a place that had become an eyesore of a dumping ground due to ocean currents depositing driftwood and illegal waste dumping. Yet a few months ago, two figures began appearing in this desolate area where hardly anyone ventured.
"What's wrong? Can't keep up? Young Midoriya, at this rate, you won't meet my expectations before U.A. High starts."
The voice came from an extremely gaunt middle-aged man with golden bangs framing his sharp face, perched atop a shipping container. Below him, a freckled boy with soft green spiky hair strained to drag the container forward, sweat pouring down his face and soaking the ground beneath him.
The man on the container was none other than the Symbol of Peace -All Might, the undisputed No. 1 hero.
His Quirk, passed down like an eternal flame, was a crystallization of power forged from cries for help and righteous hearts.
-ONE FOR ALL!
This was an exceptionally unique Quirk. Its wielder could transfer it to another person, regardless of who they were, as long as they held the intention to pass it on.
Nurtured through successive generations, each inheritor's honed physical abilities were inherited by the next. The more it was passed down, the stronger the Quirk became.
The boy dragging the container, Izuku Midoriya, was this world's indisputable protagonist-the inheritor of this torch-like Quirk from All Might, the Symbol of Peace.
While ONE FOR ALL was an immensely powerful Quirk, mastering it was no easy feat. It was like pouring water into a sealed bottle-if the volume far exceeded the bottle's capacity, it would shatter completely.
To meet the minimum requirements for wielding ONE FOR ALL, Midoriya underwent this grueling training under All Might's guidance.
"System, I have a question," Tokikono whispered from behind a distant container. "If this keeps up, won't ONE FOR ALL eventually become impossible for anyone to handle? An infinitely growing power is practically a bug-won't it reach a point where no one can inherit it?"
Even if it was just for the sake of the mission, the system wouldn't leave her completely in the dark. At the very least, it had to tell her who the protagonist of this world was. Along with that, it also provided her with some basic information about All Might-though nothing more than surface-level details, such as his Quirk and abilities.
What Tokikono now knew was far more critical than his seemingly overpowered Quirk: All Might was severely injured, his strength drastically diminished. He could only maintain his full power for three hours a day. The skeletal figure she saw now was his usual appearance outside those brief moments of strength. An enemy he could once defeat in five punches now took over three hundred-though that didn't mean his power had weakened sixtyfold.
[...Host, please take the mission seriously.]
Perhaps unsure how to keep up with the girl's train of thought, the system remained silent for a moment before responding.
"No biggie, it's just getting into U.A. High. Piece of cake."
Flipping through a book she'd pulled from her bag, Tokikono answered dismissively.
"And it's not like I want to be here watching two guys sweat it out. Sure, I used to be a top student, but I still need to brush up to guarantee success. My place is too cramped, and anywhere else is too risky-Quirk criminals could pop up anytime. Where's safer than here? This is All Might we're talking about. With him around, I doubt I'll get taken hostage in a café again like last time..."
She clicked her tongue before continuing.
"Besides, don't you know happiness comes from comparison?
Watching those two exhaust themselves while I lounge here, enjoying the sea breeze and leisure-could anything be more comfortable?"
System: [...]
"Here she comes again, huh?"
Just as the girl ducked back down to read, All Might turned his gaze toward her direction.
Though the shipping container hid her figure completely, a single stubborn cowlick peeked out, swaying defiantly in the ocean breeze...
He'd noticed long ago that this carefully chosen training spot was frequently visited by a petite, sky-blue-haired girl. The first few times could've been coincidence, but as her visits grew more frequent, even he couldn't ignore it.
To prevent his secret from being exposed, All Might decided to train Midoriya Izuku exclusively in this form. Through careful observation over time, he noticed that the other party seemed to have all their attention focused on Midoriya. It appeared they had come specifically for him. After investigating their identity, he discovered they were one of the victims from the kidnapping incident a few months ago-the only possible connection point with Midoriya Izuku... So, does this mean she has secretly fallen for the young Midoriya? Because he was the first to charge out back then...?
"Ah, the restless stirrings of youth indeed."
Watching the oblivious boy ahead, pouring out his sweat and energy in training, All Might sighed with emotion.
"It's hardly gentlemanly to leave a young lady hiding on the sidelines. I should find an opportunity to tell young Midoriya about this..."
