Chapter 237: Quirkless backstory
Soon, the hero council thanked the Technodrome staff and trusted them to keep a sharp eye out for the Devil Brats, causing the twins to vow to put a stop to them once they see them before telling the students to head off to bed. That night, Chris has a dream of his childhood, where he was bullied and discriminated for not having a quirk. When Chris was four years old, he used to have a friend who bullies him endlessly because of he's quirkless. Soon, after hearing about Kouna Midoriya and her determination to become a pro hero, Chris decided to do Mix Martial Arts to get extremely strong. However, he keeps on reaching his limit every day until he as strong as an ordinary hero. The next day, Chris' childhood friend was attacked by a slime villain, which caused him to run towards him and tries to save him until All Might came to save the day. All Might then smiled at Chris before assuring him that he will one day become a hearo because he surely does have the heart of a hero. Chris then smiled briefly as his childhood friend was taken to the hospital.
After Chris' childhood friend died in the hospital, Chris keeps trying to be a hero until he got grounded and became depressed. Soon, Chris keeps hearing voices in his head telling him to give up on his dream of becoming like Kouna Midoriya because he's no hero once the Devil Brats confronted him, causing Chris himself to get angry and told the voices to go away just as he woke up screaming. Clifford then turns the lights on and ask Chris if he's alright, causing Chris himself to tell him what happened in his dream and told him about his childhood friend who died in the hospital after he tries to save him from a slime villain, which also caused Clifford to assure him that everything is going to be alright.
The next day, Class 1a talk among themselves until Professor Hothead told them that Friday, they will be going to take a field trip to Peanut Gallery Agency along with Professor Rewinder and her homeroom students, causing everyone to get excited until Emily asked if the agency has been bulked up since the invasion of The Terrible Kiddies and The Dollar kids from Down the Lane two years ago, which also caused Professor Hothead to say that he and Professor Rewinder has made precautions to make sure the Devil Brats are dealt with because they even try to achieve their goal. Meanwhile, on Chaos Island, a goon reported to the Devil Brats about Chris' class going to Peanut Gallery Agency for a field trip, causing Randall to say that ever since they accidentally spilled the toxic waste, heroes are now ready to prevent them from getting near it. He then explains his plan to use Chris as a secret weapon during the final war, since he was exposed to the substance in the first place, causing his comrades to smile evilly as he wraps it up by saying that Peanut Gallery Agency is the perfect place to meet Chris in person and convince him to join the dark side and help them destroy peace and harmony.
