54 The Trial of Battle 3

The first one who would fight in the Battle Trial was a group of Midoriya and Uraraka against Bakugou and Iida.

His turn with Momo was still later, so All-Might brought all of them to the monitor room to watch the match between the two groups.

Naturally, as they were in the same group, Momo stood by his side.

On the other hand, he didn't expect his opponents would be Jiro and Kaminari.

"I will defeat you."

"Hehehe, Mineta, let's see who is better!"

"...."

He ignored the two and only watched the monitor, watching the match between Midoriya's and Bakugou's groups.

Midoriya and Uraraka were the heroes, and Bakugou and Iida were the villains.

"Who do you think will win, Mineta-san?" Momo asked.

"Bakugou." He didn't have a doubt.

"That's true." Momo also agreed.

All-Might's ears twitched, but he still maintained his smile. Yet how could he accept Midoriya would lose?

"Well, that should be how a normal scenario is, but if Midoriya dares to break the bones of his two hands, fingers, and even legs, he might be able to win against Bakugou."

"Midoriya won't be so extreme, right?" Kirishima, who happened to hear his words, was slightly nervous.

"I wonder..."

Unexpectedly, it was Shoji who answered this question. He made a mouth with his tentacles and said, "Midoriya was in the same district as me in the entrance exam, and he had broken his right arm and leg to smash the 0-point robot. Even yesterday, he also broke his finger."

"......"

They might want to become heroes, but would they be as crazy as Midoriya?

If they were hurt to protect someone, they might not say anything, but Midoriya was hurt because of his "Quirk" and his decision, which made them wonder what this guy was thinking.

If Midoriya continued like this, it would be impossible for him to become a hero like what Aizawa said. Instead, he would become a liability, a burden for everyone since they needed to take care of him once he was broken.

In the worst case, he might become disabled!

"If he can control his "Quirk," I will say this match is Midoriya's. Unfortunately..." Mineta didn't continue since it had nothing to do with him. What's the use of worrying about others when he is still worried about many things in his life?

If Midoriya was kicked out of the hero department, that's it.

He would only get a new classmate.

His answer might be cold, but they had only met for two days.

What did you expect him to think about Midoriya?

"....."

All-Might was in silence, and his eyes had been staring at Midoriya's figure from beginning to end, thinking about his broken figure whenever he used his power.

'Midoriya-boy...'

When the battle started, he didn't say anything afterward and only watched in silence. It was just he couldn't say anything since all he could see was destruction after another. The building was ruined, and Midoriya was battered, ready to die anytime.

Yet Midoriya's eyes didn't seem to give up and were obsessed with the victory.

However, everyone was panicked, especially Kirishima telling All-Might to stop the class since Midoriya might die anytime.

However, All-Might hesitated, or he didn't want to stop this match since he believed Midoriya would win.

On the monitor, they could see the relationship between Midoriya and Bakugou was far from good, and they seemed to argue with their mouths.

Unfortunately, the monitor room could only capture their video, not their voices, so they weren't sure what they were saying.

Finally, the battle ended, and Midoriya won by smashing the building with his fist, giving Uraraka a chance to take the payload or the bomb from Iida.

When everything ended, All-Might didn't hesitate to call help from the infirmary and stopped Bakugou, clearly afraid this boy was going on a rampage again.

However, Mineta rubbed his face, wondering whether it was alright to destroy a building like this. He also wondered whether Midoriya had to pay for the damage to the building, considering he had destroyed it. If so, Midoriya's family would be in debt already.

Still, when he looked at All-Might, he could see that this teacher was biased, especially toward Midoriya, as if Midoriya was special in his eyes. However, he felt this was normal since he knew when someone cared about others, they would definitely bias toward that person.

In All-Might's case, it was Midoriya.

'If I had a good relationship with Midoriya, would All-Might take care of me too?'

He rubbed his chin and thought about this idea.

As the strongest hero and symbol of peace in this country, having a good relationship with All-Might was definitely a good thing.

Frankly, he wasn't sure how strong All-Might was. After all, even if his eyes were awesome, it was impossible to tell whether one was strong or not by instinct or eyes alone.

Like in his case, could someone know that he had unlimited stamina and could become hundreds of times more powerful at night?

The reality was different from a battle manga where two people could gauge how strong they were with the gaze of their eyes.

While All-Might's body was huge and muscular, he wasn't as big as someone with a gigantification "Quirk." He also seemed so goofy, joking around, so he didn't seem strong.

However, Mineta knew that this old man was powerful, and even though Midoriya was weird, he also had to admit that Midoriya's Quirk was powerful. Suddenly, he realized it might be good to have a good relationship with Midoriya even though this guy was quite quirky.

'Well, I didn't have to do anything then.'

He had always had a good relationship with everyone, so from the beginning to the end, nothing changed.

Still, while he was in the middle of thinking, All Might brought Uraraka, Iida, and Bakugou to be evaluated by him and everyone. Midoriya didn't come since he was hurt and needed to be taken care of, considering how hurt he was.

The winner of this Battle Trial was Uraraka and Midoriya, but there were many things that needed to be criticized for how they won. Similarly, Bakugou was in a similar situation since the way he conducted his battle before was far from appropriate.

Momo, who was by his side, talked and evaluated what kind of mistakes Uraraka, Midoriya, and Bakugou had made in this battle.

On the other hand, Iida was the best among them since he was the only one who thought of protecting the payload or bomb.

When Momo was finished with her explanation, she smiled while looking at him smugly.

"....."

"...Good job."

"Right?"

He didn't bother to say anything and watched the next battle.

The next battle was Todoroki and Shoji against Ojiro and Hagakure.

"Hey, your nose is bleeding!" Momo was startled and looked at him worriedly.

"Oh, I am alright." He wiped the blood on his nose naturally without changing his expression. His eyes didn't look away from the screen, watching Hagakure take off her costume piece by piece.

Honestly, he wanted to see Hagakure... no, he meant the battle!

However, the battle ended instantly, with Todoroki freezing the entire building, showing his might.

"Hmm..."

If it was in the past, he might have had trouble against Todoroki, but now, Todoroki's ice was nothing. Even if Todoroki added his fire, it would also do nothing. Still, he sighed at Todoroki, thinking that this guy was really stuck-up.

"You alright, Yaoyorozu-san, Jiro?" He looked at Momo and Jiro, who were cold because of Todoroki's ice.

"I am okay."

"No, I am freezing cold."

Jiro rubbed her body with her hands several times, feeling freezing cold.

However, Momo pretended that she was okay, even though she was the one who felt this temperature was intense, considering how skimpy her costume was.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Can you make a paper cup, Yaoyorozu-san? Oh, and give me a piece of cloth."

"Paper cup? A piece of cloth? What's it for?" Momo asked curiously.

"I will show you magic," he said bullshit without hesitation.

"How many paper cups?" Momo asked, but she had already made a lot of them.

Of all his classmates, Momo's Quirk should be the most amazing since she could turn her calories into anything she wanted, except for a living being.

He received a paper cup and cloth from Momo, covering the paper cups with a cloth. He was like a magician, and it attracted everyone's attention.

Then, suddenly he pulled the cloth, showing all the cups under the cloth filled with hot coffee.

"Huh? Is this hot coffee?"

"How?"

They were all dumbfounded.

"It's freshly brewed. Please try."

He gave the two cups to Momo and Jiro before enjoying one himself.

The two looked at each other and sipped the coffee. Suddenly, the coffee made them feel comfortable, feeling their bodies were warm and more energized.

"Um, can I ask one too?" All-Might was also freezing cold, so naturally, he also wanted to have a nice cup of hot coffee.

"Yaoyorozu-san, can you prepare another paper cup?"

"Wait a moment."

While Momo prepared the cup, he showed his magic, filling the cups with hot coffee one by one before he told them to enjoy them.

Everyone was happy and took their coffee, showing a blissful expression. The coffee might be bitter, but it was light and slightly citrus, with a chocolate aroma.

The cold was no longer their enemy, and they enjoyed their coffee in the monitor room.

"Bakugou, it's yours."

Bakugou looked at Mineta for a moment, but he wasn't able to say anything since he forced him to accept the coffee. His mood was bad, but he sipped the coffee. Unlike others, his was bitter, like how he felt today, but he drank all of them before he crushed the paper cup, showing his frustration and disappointment.

"How did you take this coffee out?" Ashido Mina asked cheerfully and curiously.

"A magician has never told his secret."

Naturally, it was impossible for him to say it was his new ability, but they somehow believed in his bullshit, and they knew it was impossible to ask him since, as he had said previously, a magician wouldn't show his secret.

When Todoroki, Shoji, Hagakure, and Ojiro returned, they were also given hot coffee.

Still, even if the coffee was good, the match continued, and the next match was Tokoyomi and Tsuyu Asui against Kirishima and Sero.

By then, their match had ended, and it was his turn.

"Should we go, Yaoyorozu-san?"

"Yes, Mineta-san."

He had fun watching everyone's match, but this time, it was his turn to show them how to become the real villain.
