MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

"Hu-Huh? Me?"

Uraraka widened his eyes since she didn't expect the key to everything would be in her hands.

While some were still ready to fight, many were scared.

Uraraka was part of those who were scared and didn't know what to do.

Honestly, Mineta didn't want to do this since being the commander meant that he would be the one who took responsibility. If something happened, naturally, he would be the one who was blamed. However, the situation didn't allow him to throw the responsibility to anyone else, and No. 13 was just far too unreliable for this type of situation (useless).

"Your gravity can make his monster lose his gravity and float. In this world, no one can fight against gravity. As long as the monster loses his gravity, he can do nothing."

Hearing those words, everyone saw hope.

Uraraka's ability might be overlooked since many had more flashy abilities.

Todoroki could manipulate ice, Bakugou could release an explosion, and Midoriya had a powerful ability.

However, if Uraraka touched them, making them lose their gravity and letting them float into the sky 10,000 meters from sea level, the power of those three would be useless.

While no one was clear what Nomu's Quirk was, they could clearly tell that it had a strong physical ability, so strong that each of his fists was enough to send intense air pressure. However, if he lost his gravity and floated in the sky, what could he do to them?

"I see...!"

Even Midoriya only realized how strong Uraraka's ability was.

Everyone was happy that they could see hope, but how could Uraraka answer their hope?

She felt her shoulders were almost crushed by their hope, and the burden of this responsibility was so immense that she was afraid!

"Don't be afraid."

"Mineta-kun...?"

She looked at her hands, which were held by him.

"It's normal to be scared, and I don't ask you to touch that monster directly. Can you activate your power while he is still inside the ice?"

Still, he was too optimistic.

"No-No, I can't do that. I-I can only activate my power if I touch the target with my hands." She shook her head several times, explaining the limitations of her ability.

"In other words, is skin contact necessary?"

"...yes."

He was speechless, and everyone was at a loss.

If Uraraka could activate her power by touching the iceberg, everything would be okay, and everyone would be saved. However, she could only activate her power by touching the target. Yet could she do that?

While he knew Aizawa was still alive, he knew that Aizawa was in a critical situation. If Aizawa didn't jump back to reduce the impact, he was afraid that Aizawa might die directly.

However, Uraraka was different. She didn't have Aizawa's experience, and her mental power was even worse.

"Don't worry. I will become your shield."

"Minoru-san, are you serious? You're going to die!" Momo asked with a pale expression.

"My "Quirk" is a mutant type, so I have some resistance toward blunt damage. And I won't be alone." He looked at one more person and said, "Tokoyami, Sensei, can you help us?"

"Give me an order, Mineta." Tokoyami nodded without hesitation since if he could save everyone, he would do it.

"Yes." No. 13 nodded since it was impossible for her to leave everything to her students.

Mineta said of his plan, which made everyone agree and understand before looking at Uraraka again. "Uraraka, I know it is hard, but for now, I can't say anything besides do your best since you're the only one who can handle this monster."

"I-I know..."

Even so, Uraraka was still nervous. She became a hero because of money, and unlike that stupid hero-worshippers individual, she still cared about her life, especially when it was only a week since she entered Yuuei.

Uraraka thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, how are you going to move me around, Minta-kun?" She had heard that she only needed to focus on floating herself and touching the monster before activating her power. However, once she floated, she wouldn't be able to control her movement, but he told her to leave that matter to him.

"It's like this."

Suddenly from his waist, purple tentacles appeared, and they wrapped around Uraraka's body. His choice of ability might be weird since it sounded lewd instead of helpful. However, his original "Quirk" was quite strong, even if it was only at an intermediate level.

As he had said previously, he could control the substance released from his body like he had telekinesis. Naturally, he was able to create tentacles with his substance to become extra limbs. These tentacles were useful since he could use them like his limbs, and they had a longer distance than his arms and legs, so he could help Uraraka to move around while she was under the effect of gravity.

Honestly, if Todoroki could control his ice after he released it, Mineta didn't have to be this troublesome. However, unfortunately, Todoroki couldn't do that, so he could only add an improvement to his plan.

No. 13 stood opposite Nomu, standing in front of it while raising her hands, ready to release her ability anytime.

Meanwhile, Tokoyami was on the side, releasing his "Dark Shadow," ready to attract the attention of Nomu. He was five meters away from the Nomu but could feel his body tremble. It wasn't because he was excited. Instead, he was nervous and scared. However, he clenched his fists stubbornly since he had to make this plan successful. Also, compared to Uraraka, he felt his task was easier.

"Take a deep breath, Uraraka."

"I-I know."

Uraraka followed Mineta's words and tried to calm himself by breathing, but her heart was far from calm.

"You just need to touch it and leave the rest to me. You don't need to think. Just listen to my voice. I will definitely protect you, so don't worry."

"Ye-Yes!"

Uraraka nodded and only focused on him.

Everyone was nervous, but there was nothing they could do at this moment.

Todoroki also couldn't use his power. Even if he tried to warm his body, he was already at the limit.

The rest was even worse since their abilities couldn't even help anything.

Midoriya and Bakugou were helpless, wondering whether there was something that they could do. Unfortunately, no, since they were all close-range combatants.

Mineta also didn't dare to ask those two to help. If they were hurt by his decision, he couldn't take that responsibility, so it was also the reason why he only took a few people with him.

He also tried to calm himself, watching the movement of Nomu from the iceberg.

Everything was quiet, and only the sound of their heartbeats and rustling from the winds against the leaves could be heard.

Then, suddenly...

"Sensei, Tokoyami, now!"

"Black Hole!"

"Dark Shadow!"

At that moment, the iceberg was destroyed, and Nomu managed to escape. Yet suddenly, he was pulled by the force of a dark hole, and the dark shadow that was released from Tokoyami's body tried to attract his attention.

The two attacks didn't cause Nomu trouble since, with his physical ability, No. 13 or Tokoyami were nothing to him.

However, No. 13 and Tokoyami never had been his real plan.

He didn't say anything at that moment, quietly, without saying anything before moving to Uraraka to get close.

Uraraka stretched her hand as long as she could before she was able to touch Nomu.

'Success!'

Uraraka beamed with happiness, and the burden on her shoulders was lifted.

Instantly, Nomu was lifted from the ground, and Uraraka was pulled by Mineta.

However, he seemed to underestimate his physical ability of Nomu.

"Eh?"

Uraraka saw a trunk like an arm was about to smash into her.

"URARAKA-SAN!"

Midoriya jumped and used his ability, leaping as fast as he could that he even broke his leg.

"Ugh!"

Midoriya gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain in his leg.

However, someone was faster than him.

Uraraka only saw for a moment, but she saw a figure appear in front of her before he was blown away.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

Hearing this noise boom, everyone was in a daze before they awoke after hearing Uraraka's voice.

"Mineta-kun!"

Uraraka didn't feel the tentacles around her waist anymore, so she knew that he was the one who was hurt by Nomu's attack. Her face was pale, and all the blood on her face was drained.

"Mineta!"

"Dammit!"

Everyone was scared, but fortunately, they heard his voice.

"I am alright! Focus on making this monster float! Even if you want to vomit, don't stop! Keep that monster floating no matter how long it is!"

Uraraka only heard his voice now and quickly acted to make the monster in front of her float 30 meters away from the ground. She wanted to vomit and felt her head dizzy, but she forced herself to use her power no matter how long it was.

Everyone also sighed in relief when Nomu was captured, and the sheer pressure of this plan made them unable to stand up and plopped on the ground.

Tokoyami sat on the ground and somehow cried since they were all right now.

However, Mineta couldn't feel happy at that moment.

"Cough!"

He coughed blood after he shouted with all of his might. He had confidence in his body since, as he had said before, his "Quirk" was a mutant type, and he was quite immune to a physical attack.

However, similar to the immunity ability he received from Kendo.

There was a level of immunity from beginner, intermediate, expert, and master.

His original "Quirk" was only at the intermediate level, and naturally, his immunity toward physical attack was only at an intermediate level. He felt this was enough since he could mostly be okay after he jumped into the high-rise building to the ground, but this was far from enough to resist Nomu's fist.

He somehow understood why that hand-fetish villain was confident that a humanoid monster could defeat All-Might.

He wanted to use his "Support Drink" immediately, but he hesitated when he saw his injuries. His eyes were covered in blood, and it was hard for him to see, but he could see his right arm twisted in a different direction, and even his arm bone protruded out from his arm. Half of his ribs broke, and his right lung ruptured. His knowledge regarding medicine was almost zero, and he wasn't sure what would happen if he used his "Support Drink."

Would his arm stay in this shape if he used his "Support Drink"?

"Cough! Cough!"

He coughed up another mouthful of blood, and he had a hard time breathing.

He knew that he wouldn't die, especially as long as the night came, but he was scared since there was once a chance that he might die before the night came.

'It hurts...'

"Have no fear! For I am here!"

Hearing this familiar voice, while he felt relief, he felt a surge of anger in his chest.

Why should he feel this pain?

Weren't you (All-Might) the one being targeted?

Why should he be the one who was hurt?

Was this what it meant to become a hero?

Fuck hero!

He just wanted to have a peaceful life, but why had it become like this?

He wanted to quit Yuuei, but when he thought about his situation, he knew the power was necessary to live in this world. He needed enough power to protect his life and make him live a comfortable life in this world, so he didn't have any hesitation anymore.

However, he could think about that matter later since he was tired and hurt now. His entire body was so hurt that he was on the verge of tears. He was also quite sleepy and dizzy.

'Maybe sleeping is better.'

If he slept, he shouldn't be hurt again, yet he suddenly heard a scream.

While it was faint, he could see a few figures in front of him, but the blood covered his eyes, making it harder for him to see, and his consciousness was rather hazy. After struggling a few times, he decided to ignore them and closed his eyes since he was so sleepy.
