However, Midoriya is one of the few who isn’t born with a quirk. Nevertheless he is determined to be a superhero like his idol All-Might. In a chance encounter with a villain, Midoriya proves his heroic nature to All-Might and even inspires the hero to be better. All-Might eventually becomes his mentor as Midoriya enrolls in a highly competitive school for students who want to be top heroes.
