A lot has happened recently. Midoriya Izuku's disguised identity was first discovered by Shinso Hitoshi, and after some interaction, they became good friends.
Later, he met Togata Mirio, a senior at U.A. High School, who encouraged and praised Midoriya for his efforts and believed that he could definitely become a hero.
After that, Midoriya Izuku's daily life became more stable. Besides his daily training, he now had two people he often contacted, Togata Mirio and Shinso Hitoshi.
After exchanging contact information with Mirio, Midoriya could ask him about any problems he encountered with Bajiquan and also learn about his experiences working with All Might.
From Togata Mirio, he learned that Mirio was interning at Sir Nighteye's hero agency. Now that All Might and Sir Nighteye had reconciled, All Might often took Mirio along on his patrols, which greatly increased Mirio's fame.
Midoriya Izuku was extremely envious and curious, so he asked Togata Mirio why All Might and Sir Nighteye had parted ways.
"I don't know either. Sir never told me..."
Midoriya didn't press him further and instead asked more about All Might's daily life.
On the other hand, Midoriya Izuku and Shinso Hitoshi's relationship became closer.
Since Midoriya's entire secret was exposed to Shinso, there was nothing else to hide, and because of this, he gained a strong partner.
Shinso Hitoshi joined the team, helping Midoriya in his disguised identity as the "Steel Wire Death God" Akaya Kaiun to deal with enemies.
As mentioned many times, in this superhuman society, there are many professional heroes, but there are even more people doing bad things. No matter how powerful All Might is, he can't catch all the criminals. Most professional heroes are more focused on making money and becoming famous.
There are always gray areas in society where people frequently commit crimes, and Midoriya Izuku's goal is to catch criminals and hand them over to the police within his ability.
In the past, Midoriya had to gather information himself, then set out to find the criminals and catch them.
Now that Shinso Hitoshi knew about Midoriya's actions, he insisted on helping. After refusing unsuccessfully, Shinso officially joined the team.
It's worth mentioning that the "Brainwashing" Quirk is incredibly useful... As long as someone responds to Shinso Hitoshi's conversation, the Quirk can be activated.
Using "Brainwashing" to get information from criminals, who wouldn't remember anything afterward, Shinso would then inform Midoriya, and they would act together.
With their combined efforts, the theft gang in Shinso Hitoshi's city, including all the small thieves and their leader, were all tied up by Midoriya with steel wires and handed over to the police who arrived after receiving the call.
The small thieves who had troubled the residents for a long time were all caught. Because there were too many theft complaints usually, the police wouldn't just release them after a few days. They would be sentenced according to the law, so it's unlikely to see them committing crimes again anytime soon.
Also, since Shinso Hitoshi joined Midoriya's team, the efficiency of searching and arresting criminals has increased several times. Now, the enemies in nearby cities are terrified of the "Steel Wire Death God" and don't dare to cause trouble.
Midoriya and Shinso's hero activities have been very effective. Recently, the crime rate in their city and nearby cities has dropped significantly. It can be said that their hard work has not been in vain.

"Midoriya, are you applying for U.A. Hero Course?"
"Yes, even though the chances are slim, I still want to give it a try!"
On the weekend, with no plans to fight crime, Midoriya Izuku was heading to the Bajiquan Dojo, and this time he was accompanied by another person, Shinso Hitoshi.
During a recent chat, Midoriya mentioned to Shinso the idea of strengthening his body.
Shinso Hitoshi's "Brainwashing" Quirk is very powerful. Even the most prepared person could fall for it, but his weakness is also obvious - his body is too weak.
With the U.A. High School exam approaching, Midoriya analyzed past exam cases and found that the U.A. Hero Course uses both written and practical exams. If there are any destructive tasks, it could be game over for him.
Midoriya Izuku, who has no Quirk, has been training his body from an early age. He wants to master the Iron Mountain Lean technique to have a fighting chance in the exam.
Shinso Hitoshi, on the other hand, never focused on physical training because of his "Brainwashing" Quirk. So, Midoriya dragged him along to train.
"Even if it's too late for the exam, learning more is always good for you!"
Midoriya said this, and Shinso Hitoshi agreed with him. Without his "Brainwashing" Quirk, Shinso's combat ability is very weak.
When they arrived at the Bajiquan Dojo, the master, Ojiro, was very happy to have a new student. After testing Shinso Hitoshi's physical fitness, he commented:
"Start with physical training. Right now, you probably can't even beat a goose.
"The master's metaphor was vivid, and Shinso felt a bit embarrassed. Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku and Ojiro Mashirao were laughing quietly.
So, the Bajiquan Dojo welcomed a new student who started training from scratch, aiming to first gain the strength to beat a goose.

"Mirio... I'm still not used to calling you that. How about I call you Mirio-senpai?"
In his spare time, Midoriya Izuku contacted Togata Mirio. The easy-going Million let Midoriya call him by his name, but Midoriya felt it was disrespectful.
"That's fine too. Midoriya, you must work hard to get into U.A. High School!"
Togata Mirio didn't mind the title. He was more concerned about whether his junior could pass the U.A. High School entrance exam.
"Mirio-senpai... I just want to ask, do you have to have a Quirk to get into the Hero Course?"
Midoriya's question hit the key point. Togata Mirio didn't know how to answer. U.A. High School is the best hero school in Japan and also All Might's alma mater. Its selection process is extremely strict...
"Midoriya, are you planning to apply for the Hero Course?"
Togata Mirio confirmed Midoriya's intention again. Among the various courses at U.A. High School, the Hero Course, Support Course, Business Course, and General Studies, the Hero Course is the hardest to get into. It is unheard of for someone without a Quirk to be admitted to this course.
Mirio originally thought that Midoriya Izuku would aim for the General Studies course when applying to U.A. High School. As the best hero school, the General Studies course is also quite difficult to get into, but compared to the Hero Course... at least there is a chance of admission.
After all, wanting to get into the Hero Course without a Quirk... such a thing has never been heard of.
"Even though the chances are slim, I don't want to give up. Even if I fail, at least I won't regret it!!"
"But..."
"Don't worry, Mirio-senpai, I also applied for other courses. After all, I can't joke around with my future!"
"You're something else~!"
Togata Mirio's worries were dispelled by Midoriya's additional words, and Mirio couldn't help but think more highly of this junior.
Hearing from Master Ojiro about a kid without a Quirk who wants to become a hero; Togata Mirio felt he should do something. Being a hero is not just a glamorous title.
When Mirio finally met Midoriya, he found that they were very similar to his younger self, both having the dream of becoming a hero to help others. So, he gave Izuku encouragement and support!
"A hero without a Quirk? Sounds pretty good..."
The smiling Togata Mirio hung up the phone, as someone beside him was already calling for him!
Standing on the top of a tall building was Togata Mirio, and beside him was the No.1 hero, All Might!
"You've got it down well. Nighteye really chose a great successor for me!"
"Well... I'm not that great, it's all because of your guidance and All Might's approval..."
"No need to be so modest, I expect you to become even stronger than All Might. The next 'Symbol of Peace' will be you!"
On top of the tall building, All Might laughed heartily, while Togata Mirio, who was embarrassed by the praise, received a message from Nighteye.
"The target has started moving!"
"Really? Then let's go!"
Leaping from the tall building, soaring into the sky was All Might, and following him, Togata Mirio also gathered his strength and leaped, soaring into the sky right behind All Might.
"Heroes, move out!!"
