MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

"The battle is over!"

When All-Might's voice sounded through the speaker on the building, Mineta and Momo stood up and prepared to walk out.

Frankly, this battle was too easy for him.

Kaminari and Jiro didn't give him any fights, and everything ended without them doing anything.

While even though he had said they "didn't do anything," they had done a lot of preparation in the five minutes before the battle started.

He used his "Quirk" to cover the entire building with his substance, and he also covered many passages, creating a wall with his substance at the entrance of the stairs, so it would be impossible for Jiro and Kaminari to pass through, turning this entire building into a maze and making their map useless.

Still, if one thought Kaminari and Jirou could reach into them by climbing out from the outside, they would be wrong since he covered the entire building, whether it was interior or outdoor, with his substance, leaving only a few areas, so they could be caught in his substance.

He also changed the color of his substance to a similar color to the walls, floor, ceiling, and the building, so Kaminari and Jirou didn't realize they were already trapped.

By coincidence, the color of the walls, floor, ceiling, and everything in this building was white, so he turned his substance into a white color.

When the two of them entered, this battle was already his victory with Momo.

As for Momo, even though she seemed to do nothing, she made a lot of cameras and infrared detectors to detect and observe when Kaminari and Jirou entered the building.

He asked her to make them, which was useful since they could observe Kaminari and Jirou from the screen created by Momo with her "Quirk."

It might be hard to believe, but there was a power outlet in the room where they stayed, so the screen could be used.

However, even if there wasn't any power outlet, she could make a battery or generator to generate electricity.

Fortunately, she didn't have to do that since making a huge thing would consume a lot of her calories.

Still, this battle shocked Momo since she realized how strong Mineta was.

Similar to Todoroki, Mineta could do the same thing.

However, if Todoroki froze the building with his ice, Mineta covered the entire building with his substance.

As for which one was strongest?

Momo wasn't sure, but she felt Mineta's power was the most troublesome.

It was sticky, immune to electricity, and it was impossible to escape unless one uprooted where his sticky substance stuck into.

Unless one was strong enough, their fate would be trapped in that place forever by his substance.

Still, even if they could escape by uprooting where the sticky substance stuck, his sticky substance was impossible to pull apart from their bodies. Worse cast, his substance would keep sticking to anything that it came into. Unless they peeled their skin, it was impossible to escape.

Yet who was crazy enough to do that?

Still, while it sounded amazing his substance wasn't invincible, he wasn't stupid enough to expose his weakness.

"How do we walk out?" Momo asked since it was impossible for them to walk out if everything was covered by his substance. Mineta aside, she was afraid she might stick to his white substance.

"Just like this."

He dissolved the substance around them, then said, "How about we hold hands? After all, it will be troublesome if you stick to my substance. If we hold hands, I can lead you out easily."

"...O-Okay."

While Momo was embarrassed, she nodded.

"Okay, be careful."

He held her hand naturally, leading her to walk out while slowly dissolving his substance.

The two walked out together while holding hands, causing everyone in the monitor room to stare at them silently.

Yet it had nothing to do with him.

Instead, he was more cornered about why he didn't receive a reward from Momo.

By holding his hand with the girl's hand, he should be able to get a reward.

However, even if he held Momo's hand, he got nothing.

While he was confused, the only explanation he could withdraw from his current situation was the fact that he was the one who took the initiative to hold Momo's hand.

As for why he could get a reward for holding hands in the past was because all of the initiatives were taken from the girls, they either held his hand directly, told him to hold their hands, or offered their hands to him.

However, this time it was different since he tricked Momo into holding his hand.

'It seems this is more complicated than I had thought.'

Holding hands with someone was definitely a simple thing, but at the same time, it was also a complicated thing.

He wanted to get a reward from Momo, but in the end, he held himself since he knew being too eager definitely wasn't good. He had to be patient. The opportunity also hadn't arrived, yet this was also a good thing since he was able to learn something from this experience.

Still, while he was in deep thought, Momo, who blushed, calmed down and stared at his hand absentmindedly for a while. "Mineta-san, you're amazing..." Even though she was a student that was admitted through a recommendation, she felt she was nothing.

Especially when she compared herself with Mineta.

"......."

He felt that her words were quite misleading. "Is that so? I think you're even more amazing."

"Huh?" Momo was confused. "What do you mean? I did nothing in this battle."

"No, you did a lot of things. After all, if it wasn't for you, I would have a hard time knowing the enemy's situation. You should be more confident in your ability, you know? If I team up with someone else, this battle won't be easy for me. You shouldn't think that I won this battle by myself. Your help is necessary for me."

He patted her head gently, feeling that this girl quite easily got depressed and insecure, but this was good since she was easy.

"Tha-Thanks..." Momo was embarrassed and blushed again.

"No problem."

It might have been his imagination, but he felt her hand hold his hand tighter.

The two talked for a while before they arrived, where Kaminari and Jirou were trapped.

While he wasn't sure what had happened with Kaminari, he could see that Kaminari's state was wrong. He could see Kaminari's idiotic face becoming even more idiotic.

On the other hand, Jiro stared at the ceiling absentmindedly, doubting her life. Still, when she heard their footsteps, she quickly said impatiently, "Hey, can you let me go?" She couldn't move her head since the back of her head was stuck on his white substance.

He stared at Jiro for a while, feeling strange when he saw her entire body was covered in his white substance. Still, it made him want to prank her. He took a deep breath and apologized in regret.

"I'm sorry! You need to wait for a week before the substance disappears."

"........." Momo.

Before Momo was able to say something, she noticed his mischievous gaze.

On the other hand, Jiro was in despair!

"Do-Do you mean I have to stay like this for a week?!"

"Yes."

"........."

Jiro's white skin turned even paler, and she started to imagine how she had lived in the past week while stuck like this.

Watching her expression, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Hehe, I was kidding."

"......"

However, his laugh made her silent.

Jiro could feel his substance slowly dissolve, and she also realized that her body wasn't stuck anymore. While she sighed in relief, she looked at the culprit of this trouble. She looked at him, smiling and laughing. Normally, she should be blushing, but at this moment, she wanted to leap on him and bite him. However, it was impossible for her to do so, and she stretched her hands toward him with an annoyed expression.

"What?"

"Help me to stand up." Her tone was slightly bossy, but she felt he should let him be spoiled, right?

Especially when he had fooled her and covered her in his white substance.

"Geez, spoiled, aren't we?" He sighed helplessly.

When Momo saw their hands parted away, she didn't know why she felt lost for some reason.

On the other hand, Mineta took Jiro's hands to help her stand up.

Jiro took his hands and let him pull her up.

"You alright?"

"Thanks."

"Then, we should go back now."

While he was disappointed before, he realized his decision to enter Yuuei was correct since after two days he entered this school, he got a new reward.

<As Kyouka Jiro has taken the initiative to hold your hand, you have received the "Calm Manipulation" ability (Intermediate)>

Still, while he didn't let go of Jiro's hands because he was surprised by his reward, she also didn't let go of his hands.

"By the way, what about him?" Momo asked and caused the two of them to look at Kaminari simultaneously.

"Wheee~!"

Kaminari said with a happy idiotic face.

"Well, I will carry him."

He let go of Jiros's hands without looking at her face, but even if he didn't look at her, strangely enough, he could tell what kind of expression she showed at this moment.

At this moment, he realized a cruel fact.

When one was handsome, everything was easy.

He realized this and was glad that he invested in his charm in the beginning.
