Chapter 46: Let’s start
The four of them had been together for a while and played in his house for so long.
It wouldn't be weird to say their relationship was closer than a mere friend.
Ibara aside, his relationship with Kendo and Kodai was even better than a mere friendship, especially with Kendo, since he had deliberately made their relationship closer when they were on the bus.
That distance was known as a touch.
Skinship has always been the fastest way for one to get close to girls.
This was also the reason why he often held Ibara's hand in the past when they hadn't started dating.
However, how could he hold the hand of Kendo and Kodai in front of Ibara?
If he did that, he was afraid Ibara might crucify him.
Anyway, after they came to his house, they took out the ingredients they had put in his fridge to cook dinner.
Their school tuition might be free, but they still need to pay for their necessities such as food, rent, utility, and many others.
Unlike Momo, whose family was wealthy, they were all coming from a normal family.
The financial situation of their family wasn't bad, but if they could save their money, they would do it, so it was natural for them to cook dinner together since it was cheaper.
Mineta might not have a problem with money, but knowing how hard it was to get money, he was quite thrifty.
Ibara was the same, even though she often got a salary from helping her boyfriend shoot a video.
"It surprised me that you came back so soon."
Mineta didn't join them in cooking and sat on the sofa while watching them cook. Honestly, it was a luxurious thing, watching three girls cooking him food.
"Why do you think so?" Ibara asked.
"Well, considering Itsuka's personality, I thought she would invite everyone to go out or something, so the relationship of everyone in your class would become closer."
Mineta knew that even if Kendo was a girl, his personality was quite manly. He wouldn't be surprised if a girl confessed to her somehow, so knowing that, he thought this girl would invite everyone in her class casually so their relationship could become closer.
"What do you think of me?" Kendo couldn't help but complain when she felt this guy was thinking something rude about her.
"I am just saying that you have good social skills. I am praising you," Mineta said blankly.
"Why couldn't I hear that from your tone?" Kendo pouted, but she said, "But you weren't wrong since I had invited everyone to go out before."
"Oh?" Mineta was surprised and asked, "So did they reject you?"
"Not many people could come, and it would be horrible to leave them, so we decided to postpone it."
Still, what Kendo didn't say was that a few of her classmates also didn't have money, so it was impossible for them to join. However, it was impossible for her to say this, and it was better to keep quiet about this matter.
While many people wanted to become a hero because being a hero was cool.
Many of them also became heroes because they wanted to get money.
Being a hero was dangerous, and it was natural for them to get a fair sum of income from their work.
Instead, this should be why many people decide to become a hero.
After all, instead of becoming a corporate slave, wasn't it better to become a hero?
They were praised, and they got a lot of money. They also didn't need to be scolded by their superiors or licked the butts of their clients.
All they needed to do was to help people.
Their income was stable, and it would increase if their popularity increased. They could also get a second job if they wanted to, increasing their income even more.
The most popular one could even build a skyscraper as their headquarters, showing how much money they could get from becoming a hero.
If they were hurt, they would also be taken care of since there was insurance that could take care of them.
So even if this job was dangerous, it was understandable why many still wanted to become a hero, right?
What was even better, they only needed to study for three years.
There was no need to enter university or anything.
Especially if you had a powerful "Quirk" or useful "Quirk," even if you didn't learn anything, your future was already guaranteed.
This was why heroes have always been popular jobs, especially those who didn't have a good head and powerful ability.
"How about you? I think that you would definitely invite your classmates."
Kendo knew that even if Mineta seemed cold, his social skill was definitely off the chart. If he wanted to, she believed that this guy could seduce many girls. Yet he didn't do that and was still with Ibara even if many girls kept tempting him.
While it was great to know he was such a loyal boyfriend, she felt sad for some reason.
"My reason was the same as yours. I wanted to invite everyone to know each other, but some of them got hurt during the class, so I decided to postpone inviting them to a gathering."
"Hurt? What happened?" Kendo was startled.
Even Kodai and Ibara were curious.
Watching their confused and curious expression, Mineta felt weird and asked them a question, "Wait a moment, what did you do on your first day?"
---
Hearing their story, he could only sigh, thinking that his class was unlucky to have Aizawa as a teacher. If possible, he wanted to move to the 1-B class, considering the teacher was normal.
Unlike him, who was told to do a Quirk Apprehension Test, they had a normal first day. Their teacher only introduced them to what they would learn on the Yuuei and was told to introduce each other.
That's all.
On the other hand, when the three girls learned what Mineta did on the first day, they couldn't help but feel speechless and lucky to be in the 1-B class.
"Will one of you be expelled if you are at the last place?" Kendo was dumbfounded.
"No."
Hearing that answer, they sighed in relief, but he hadn't finished his words.
"I think that the teacher plans to expel all of us if we don't show our worth."
"........"
They weren't sure what to say, but fortunately, they could see he was alright and understood why he was exhausted. However, they decided to ask him what he did on the Quirk Apprehension Test, considering they might also do it.
Mineta didn't mind and told them about the Quirk Apprehension Test. Yet he must say he was slightly jealous of their class. Instead of the savage-like method, with the law of survival of the fittest as the basis, it was better to have a steady growth like the 1-B class.
It might be basic and normal, but this was a method that he loved the most since the basics were important.
After all, what's the use of throwing a group of children in front of the villain when their mind wasn't that much different from a teenager's?
It was like telling someone to bungee jump when one has heart disease.
He knew he was being spoiled for asking this, considering the villain wouldn't care whether you were a child, a teenager, or even an older one.
When they see a chance, they won't hesitate to snap you down like a snapping turtle.
This was how unreasonable this world was, and it made his desire to grow stronger blazed even hotter.
He looked at the three girls in front of him and suddenly felt deep in thought.
