Everything

"...."

While Mineta was speechless by the madam president's response, he wasn't going to say anything since he knew everyone was still thinking about his words.

A symbol of peace wasn't something that could be gotten just because the Hero Public Safety Commission acknowledged you.

Instead, the one that became the symbol of peace was the one that was acknowledged by everyone.

By now, they quickly realized what kind of person he was, and in their heart, they believed that it was such a young man that was able to become the next symbol of peace.

"While I know I shouldn't ask you this, have you ever felt scared?" The madam president asked since she wondered whether there was such a perfect young man.

"Scared? Of course."

"...." Everyone.

"Why are you so surprised? Naturally, I am scared, but more importantly, I am more scared to see the people that I have cared about being hurt." Mineta held Ibara's hand gently while looking at her softly.

"Minoru..." Ibara didn't care about anything and only wanted to be with him now.

Mineta then looked at All-Might and Aizawa, then said, "Of course, that's also you two, Sensei."

"...." 2x

Aizawa and All-Might looked away for a moment, trying to stop the tears coming out from their eyes before they calmed themselves, yet unfortunately, they couldn't.

"It's too early for you to worry about us."

"Yeah, for now, you should focus on your studies."

"Then, protect me better since I have been hurt several times, you know?" He joked, but the two became silent and could only sigh helplessly.

Still, looking at their reaction, Mineta thought that they had never thought there would be traitors among the students, which made him believe that whether Aizawa or All-Might, they were gullible. However, it was alright since the more gullible he was, the better it was.

"Also, I want to catch Hokusai."

"Hokusai..."

When this name fell, everyone showed various emotions on their face.

No one could forget him, especially when Hokusai had such an amazing Quirk.

Especially the black All-Might and bomb that appeared.

If Mineta didn't stop them, nothing would remain.

"...do you think Hokusai is alright after receiving your attack?" The madam president asked since she knew how powerful Mineta was. The video of Mineta's special attack, "Ragnarok," was replayed many times, so everyone could understand the principle and how strong it was. Unfortunately, they couldn't think of anything, and even if they could, their bodies didn't allow them to mimic him.

To be honest, many were still confused about his Quirk since they didn't really understand how a sticky ball could turn into such a dangerous Quirk.

Yet, it didn't really matter since even a Quirk had appeared for centuries and more; there were many things that they couldn't understand.

Also, the stronger Mineta was, the better since as long as a country had strong people, everything would be alright.

The only problem was with Mineta's character, but she knew he was a kind young man whose heart was filled with justice. He only wanted to protect the people he cared about. Knowing that she felt at ease while also wondering whether she could become someone he cared about too...

'Wait! Wait! What am I thinking?!'

The madam president felt that her conversation with Mineta's mother messed everything up.

"Okay, enough with the conversation. Let's eat! Let's eat!" Mineta's mother quickly said.

"Sorry, mother, but I believe with great power comes great responsibility."

Mineta looked at his mother and apologized to her since he knew she was reluctant to let him continue studying in Yuuei.

After all, his parents knew even if he didn't become a hero, he would be successful in the thing that he was done. He also had a lot of money from his All-Tuber and sculpture, which he sculpted for Nezu.

In other words, it was possible for him to retire early.

However, Mineta had made up his decision, and his mother knew she couldn't do anything about it.

"I know... I know I can't stop you, but promise me that you shouldn't make me worry, okay?"

While she was proud of his son, she also cried when she thought about his battered body, thinking how useless the other heroes were since they could only rely on her son, but she also knew his strength was strong.

It was impossible for him to become a docile cat that could lay lazily while doing a farm.

However, the rest were immersed in his words.

'With great power comes great responsibility...'

No one would think that he had such an understanding of life, yet they knew that no one could think of anyone except him to become the next symbol of peace.

All-Might's eyes became feverish as he looked at Mineta, and somehow he made up his mind.

However, what they didn't know, it was really impossible for him to drop out of Yuuei since he still wanted to become stronger.

Yuuei was his key to entering the treasure trove.

There were many girls and women that could trigger his system, and it was impossible for him to give up all of that.

He had walked for so long, and he had deceived everyone.

If he couldn't become a god and fix this rotten world, what was the point of doing all of this?

His goal was clear, and no one could stop him anymore!

Still, even if they knew the real him, they would think that he was still such an amazing young man since no one could ever think such devious things when one was at the youth.

"Anyway, come on! Let's eat! Don't waste the hard work of the madam president and me."

His mother and madam president had prepared many foods, and if they wasted them, they felt they might receive a punishment.

While All-Might and Aizawa knew that they still needed to talk to many students, they felt that it was also rude to reject the invitation, yet they had to say the boulder on their hearts fell off when they heard Mineta's answer since while they might not realize the weight of this young man was heavy in their hearts.

As they ate, they had to say the taste of the food was good.

Was it because of the ingredients?

They thought that they should accept the vegetables and fruits which were given by Mineta since they all tasted good.

With a good time, everything passed so quickly.

Aizawa and the madam president thought it was time to return, but All-Might planned to stay for a while. While the two felt strange, they didn't stop All-Might since, as the previous symbol of peace, it wouldn't be odd for him to have something to say to Mineta. As they excused themselves, Nezu also sent another car in case All-Might needed to return.

It might also be a good time for All-Might to rest since, after the incident, he never took a rest, and even if everyone told him to rest, he wouldn't listen to anyone, so staying in Mineta's place might be a good thing.

While Aizawa planned to visit another student, the madam president quickly returned to the headquarters of the Hero Public Safety Commission since she was so busy, especially when the League of Villains also started to grow into something that she couldn't imagine, yet it might be normal, especially when everyone thought about Hokusai's speech.

That speech... was even more dangerous than Stain.

While she wouldn't force Mineta to become the next symbol of peace, she knew that she also needed many preparations since, on her shoulders, the stability of this country was at stake.

When the two left, All-Might smiled at Mineta and asked, "Mineta-boy, can you guide me around this place?"
