MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

"Yuuei's sports festival?"

He remembered he had watched this event last year, but he had never thought to enter one.

"Sensei, is this alright? Won't the villains try to infiltrate the event?"

Aizawa knew what they were worried about. He glanced at Mineta subconsciously, but he saw Mineta's expression was quite plain, which made him feel weird since Mineta was usually the one who asked this type of question.

However, if Mineta knew what Aizawa was thinking, he would only say that Aizawa was overthinking.

At the Sports Festival, there will be a lot of people.

That was a lot more than the 22 people that were attacked in the "U.S.J."

By then, he or his classmates wouldn't be the target of villains since there were so many people. However, the real reason why he was calm was that he had expected Aizawa's explanation.

Their worry was normal, and Aizawa told them that there would be five more groups of police and a lot of heroes, along with top heroes, that would guard this event.

Including All-Might and Endeavor.

When Aizawa mentioned Endeavour, he glanced at Todoroki subconsciously since he knew Todoroki was the son of Endeavor, but he raised his eyebrow since he could see Todoroki's expression was darkened.

'Do they have a bad relationship?'

Still, even if Todoroki had a bad relationship with his father, it had nothing to do with him.

"Instead of worrying about this matter, you should be cornered about something else, such as this event will give you a great opportunity, and this isn't an event that will be brought to a halt by the likes of villains."

When he heard Aizawa's last words, he couldn't help but sigh since, whether in this world or his previous world, money had always been one of the most important things in the world.

While Aizawa said they didn't stop this event because they weren't afraid of a mere villain, Mineta knew this event wouldn't stop because of money.

Yuuei's sports festival.

Even if it was quite exaggerated, its scale was similar to the Olympics.

It could be said that it was one of this country's biggest events!

Naturally, as one of the biggest events, it would generate a lot of money.

Broadcasting rights, tickets, betting, food and beverages, sponsors, merchandise, tenants, etc.

There were at least tens of billions of yen generated from this event.

Even if they knew the villains might infiltrate, it was impossible to stop this event since it would touch everyone's interest.

The villains also knew that if they attacked at that moment, they would receive an unimaginable, so it was impossible for them to attack since not only would they face Yuuei and the top heroes, but they also had to face the government.

However, that money had nothing to do with him, which made him sigh.

"Minoru, it'll be a chance for all of us," Momo suddenly said.

"A chance..."

He also understood what Momo was saying since by showing good performance at this Yuuei's sports festival, they would attract scouts from the pro heroes, especially the famous ones. By then, they could receive a place for their internship and a guaranteed place when they graduate.

While being a hero meant becoming a civil servant and receiving a stable income every month, the hero's job was more than that.

Sometimes, a hero would receive a commission or mission, giving them a generous bonus.

If they were famous or joined a famous Pro Hero office, they could receive a lot of commission, so their income would be even higher.

However, if they weren't famous, they could only receive this monthly income.

Yet he didn't see a problem with that.

Instead, if he showed a performance that was better than anyone, he would attract everyone's eyes, especially villains, since everyone in this country, if not the world, would watch him over the screen.

He knew this was a business, but he wondered whether the school had ever thought about the safety of the students from this event.

He sighed and felt everything was because of All-Might's effect.

As long as All-Might was there, everyone would have this happy-go-luck way of life.

It wasn't bad, but he wasn't sure it was good either.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him since he didn't really want to become the center of attention.

"Remember, time is limited. Suppose you get noticed by a Pro that gives you standing for a brighter future than otherwise. This is the chance you'll only get once a year... for a total of three chances. If you aim to be a hero, this is an event that you can't overlook."

At that moment, their eyes changed, and they were filled with determination.

"Oh, right, Mineta."

"What's wrong, Sensei?"

"Go to the Recovery Lady when the break starts. She wants to check your injuries."

"Okay."

His expression was quite complex and darkened when he thought about the Recovery Lady. The reward he got was quite good, but when he thought about how he would receive that reward, it was hard to be happy.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Momo asked in a whisper.

"Well..." He hesitated, but watching her expression for a moment, he nodded. "Okay.

"Good." Momo nodded in excitement.

He could see her ponytail swaying around like the excited dog's tail. He let out a helpless sigh and rested his chin on his palm, wondering what the point of staying in this school was.

He came to this school because he knew this school would have the highest chance for him to get rewards, but when he got his rewards, he suddenly got all regretful and loathed himself like an emo guy.

Even though he had repeated how he would attack several girls and make a harem so he would become stronger, he chickened out.

By this point, he wondered what the point of staying in this school when it didn't even bring him a benefit was. Instead, it brought him a lot of disadvantages, dangers, and unwanted attention.

He let out a helpless sigh and felt tired, but the class didn't stop and continued as usual until it was time for a break.

As Aizawa had said before, he went to the infirmary to visit the Recovery Lady.

Momo also followed him to help him.

"Hey, I will go with you."

Jiro also joined them.

"Sure."

"Mineta, I will join you too."

Then, one by one, they also wanted to join since they were worried about him.

"Stop, stop. I am happy to know you're worried about me, but if all of you come, it will bother the Recovery Lady during the treatment. I will take Jiro and Momo with me, so you don't need to worry. You guys have lunch or something first."

Leaving such words, he left with Momo and Jiro.

While they were still worried, there was nothing that they could do at this moment, so in the end, they could only have lunch.

Uraraka hesitated, but she could only sigh at this moment.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

When they walked out of the classroom, he noticed Jiro staring in his direction.

"...nothing."

Jiro shook her head, feeling strange and surprised when she heard him call Momo by her first name.

Had their relationship become that close?

Was it during the attack of the villains?

If possible, she wanted him to call her by her first name, but somehow she got embarrassed. After all, the thought of him calling her "Kyouka" made her almost unable to breathe for some reason!

"......."

Mineta wasn't sure what was happening to Jiro, but he decided to finish his matter with Recovery Lady first. However, before that, he needed to remind Ibara and Kendo what he was going to do first.

---

"Excuse me."

"Come in."

Recovery Lady turned her chair and saw a familiar face entering the infirmary.

"Oh, Mineta, you have come."

She greeted him with a kind smile.

"Sensei."

He nodded at the Recovery Lady.

"Do you want candy?" She took out candy from her pocket to give it to Mineta, but she was quickly attracted by two beautiful girls behind him. "Oh? Are you not alone? Which one is your girlfriend?"

"..." Jiro and Momo.

"They're not my girlfriends. They're my classmates." While his voice sounded quite helpless, he glanced at Jiro and Momo, who blushed for some reason.

"....."

"Anyway, Sensei, you want to check my injury, right?"

"Yes." The Recovery Lady wanted to ask who his girlfriend was, but she thought checking his injuries was more important. "Come in." She looked at the two girls and said, "Wait there first, okay?"

Jiro and Momo nodded and tried their best not to interrupt the Recovery Lady.

"Take off your clothes," Recovery Lady said.

"...." Jiro and Momo.

While panicked, they knew this was necessary for treatment, but even so, they couldn't help but imagine what his body was like. Unfortunately, the curtain blocked them from seeing what Mineta and Recovery Lady were doing.

"...."

Mineta sighed and took off the upper part of his uniform.

"It's good. It seems that you have recovered well."

The Recovery Lady nodded since she could see he was alright. Except for the faint scar on his body, which would disappear soon, he was perfectly healthy. Still, she had to say the three moles under his chest were really unique.

But, suddenly, the door of the infirmary was knocked on again.

"Excuse me."

Ibara, Kendo, Kodai, and Yanagi entered the infirmary together.

"Huh? Jiro-san? Yaorozoru-san? What are you doing here?" Kendo was surprised when she saw Momo and Jiro.

"We are accompanying him to check his injuries," Momo said calmly.

"I see. It's good that he has good classmates," Kendo said with a smile.

Somehow the atmosphere between the six girls was quite subtle, as if a spark of electricity appeared between them.

It was only their instinct as a woman, but they could feel something that made them uncomfortable. Their feelings were like a strange animal that had entered their territory. Their natural action was to fight, so those strange animals would leave their territory alone.

When the tension became unbearable, the Recovery Lady poked her head out while looking at the six girls. "You guys, be quiet, alright? I am checking his injuries now."

"Ah, yes." 6x

They were all deflated, and their mouths shut.

The Recovery Lady sighed before looking at Mineta. "You're really popular."

"Haha..."

What could he say?

"So I am alright, right?"

"Yes, but be careful."

"Be careful?"

"While I don't care what you're doing, you're still a student from Yuuei."

The Recovery Lady snapped at Mineta since, unlike all the good boys and girls on the Yuuei, she could see that this guy was slippery and a bastard.

As for how she could tell?

It was because of her years of experience.

Mineta wanted to say that he was a pure boy who didn't know anything, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't acknowledge it since if he acknowledged it, it would be impossible to maintain his pure boy image.

"Okay, you're all healthy now, so you don't need to worry about anything, but if you don't feel uncomfortable, you can come to me again."

"Thank you."

He nodded while wearing his uniform.

There was nothing wrong with his health, but his mental health?

No one was sure, but the Recovery Lady knew he wasn't alone, so he should be alright. The only thing she was worried about was the fact there were too many women around him, which made her wonder whether this was alright.

The two walked out and saw six girls.

"Are you alright?" Ibara asked.

"I am perfectly healthy. You know it already, right?" He said with a smile to Ibara.

"...." Ibara.

"Does Shiozaki-chan have knowledge about medicine?" Jiro asked curiously.

Momo also looked over, curious.

"....." The Recovery Lady, Kendo, Ibara, Kodai, and Yanagi.

"Cough! Cough! Should we have lunch now?"

He decided to change the topic of conversation.

They nodded and walked out toward the cafeteria, but when they opened the door of the infirmary, someone suddenly appeared, causing their heart to almost stop.

"I AM HERE!!!"

".............."
