55 The Trial of Battle 4

Mineta and Momo were assigned villains on this battle trial, so naturally, they were given time to enter the building first. On the other hand, their opponents, Kaminari and Jirou, were assigned as hero groups and became their opponents.

While the villain group would enter the building first, the hero group would enter the building five minutes after the villain group had entered.

On the other hand, All-Might and all the students in the monitor room watched what Mineta and Momo planned to do curiously.

Todoroki, Bakugou, and Midoriya might seem powerful, showing overwhelming power with their "Quirk" in this Battle-Trial.

However, it was impossible for them to forget what Mineta could do yesterday.

Mineta's "Quirk" was unique, and few of them had seen how powerful he was at the entrance exam, so they were curious how as a villain, he was going to tackle this situation.

Even Bakugou and Todoroki, who seemed to be better than the rest, also didn't take their eyes off the monitor.

What about Midoriya?

Midoriya was in the infirmary, hurt and battered.

All-Might was the same since even if he didn't utter it from his mouth, he knew Mineta would be the first obstacle that Midoriya had to defeat if he wanted to become the first hero.

While everyone had their own thoughts, Mineta was quite relaxed while holding the map, studying it, while drinking a cup of coffee.

"......."

"Mineta-san, can you be serious?" Momo was speechless when this guy had time to drink a coffee.

"Calm down, Yaoyorozu-san." Mineta shook his head and said, "The timer won't move until we enter the building, so in the meantime, can you tell me more about your "Quirk"?" Even if they entered the building, they were given five minutes to prepare, so they had plenty of time.

They might have talked to each other about their "Quirk" in the past, but it wasn't in a detailed manner since they only knew each other before.

"Sure."

She could see the change in his expression and atmosphere, which made her unable to ignore and follow his words subconsciously.

"My "Quirk" is Creation. It allows me to create any non-living material or object."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

Momo nodded confidently.

"....."

Mineta must admit that Momo's "Quirk" was just overpowered.

"What about you?"

While she had seen how he used his "Quirk," he wasn't sure what his "Quirk" was.

"My "Quirk" is "Pop Off."

He thought that he might change the name of his "Quirk" since it wasn't a suitable name any longer, but he was too lazy to do so since it was troublesome to manage the change of "Quirk" on the city hall and this was also the reason why he didn't update his "Quirk" anymore after last time.

"As you can see, I can release a substance with both the properties of rubber and gum. In other words, it is sticky and stretchy. While I say it is like gum, it should be better than any glue in the world. As long as one sticks to my substance, it is impossible for them to escape. Oh, I can shape the substance into any shape I want."

"Impossible to escape?"

"As for now, I haven't seen anyone that can escape from my substance."

"What about electricity? Can your substance handle electricity?"

Momo knew that the most troublesome one was Kaminari since his "Quirk" was related to electricity. While she hadn't talked with Kaminari, he bragged about his "Quirk" yesterday on the Quirk Apprehension Test, and with his loud voice, it was impossible for her to hear it.

"My substance has a rubber property." He looked at Momo and asked, "What do you think?"

"...Wow."

What could she say?

"By the way, I do have a plan. Do you want to listen to it?"

They were about to enter the building, so naturally, he wouldn't waste his time.

"Please tell me what I should do, Mineta-san."

Momo was docile and obedient.

"........"

In the monitor room, everyone was silent.

"They lost," Kirishima said with a sigh since he didn't think Kaminari and Jirou could defeat Mineta and Momo.

No one denied Kirishima since the result was obvious to their eyes. They knew that Mineta was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong that his opponents were so helpless. On the other hand, they looked at Mineta and Momo, who talked to each other relaxedly while drinking a cold coffee, waiting for the battle to end with a speechless expression.

Bakugou felt even more bitter today.

---

It was five minutes before Jirou and Kaminari entered the building.

"Kaminari, don't let your guard down."

Unlike Kaminari, Jirou was in the same district as Mineta, so she knew how strong he was.

"Don't be nervous, Jirou. You should know as long as I zip them with my Quirk..."

Kaminari showed his electricity with a bright, confident smile and said, "The match is over."

"Okay, okay. You don't need to repeat it."

Jirou rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything. She could see that this guy was an idiot, and she was also an idiot to think she could rely on him. The only good thing about him was his "Quirk," so she thought to take the command role, considering Kaminari's head was far from good.

The two had read the map of the building, and they entered the building sneakily through the window, but when they stepped in, they realized the ground was far from hard concrete.

"Eh?" 2x

They wanted to move, but they suddenly realized they couldn't move!

"What happened!? What's happening?!"

Kaminari started to panic and zipped around, thinking that he was attacked by Mineta and Momo.

"Calm down, idiot! Don't let your electricity hit me! We just can't move! Don't get excited like that!"

Jirou was slightly panicked when Kaminari's electricity almost hit her.

"I-I know..." Kaminari took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, ignoring the rude remark from Jirou.

"Wa-Wait, don't tell me that this whole floor is covered by his "Quirk"?!"

Jirou, who thought carefully, realized the seriousness of this matter. While she wasn't sure about Mineta's "Quirk," she could tell that it was elastic, stretchy like rubber, and sticky. If she squinted her eyes, she could also see that something seemed to cover the whole floor, walls, and even ceiling!

What's even worse, his substance might cover this entire floor!

Knowing that she didn't dare to stick her cord-like ear to the ground, wall, or even ceiling since she was afraid she might not be able to unplug her cord-like ear if she did that.

"...Wh-What's wrong?" Kaminari started to become nervous when he saw Jirou was nervous.

"Calm down, Kaminari." Jiro tried to say that, but she might try to calm herself. "Right now, we're trapped in his "Quirk," and you might be the only way for us to escape from this place." If they can't enter the building, they should walk out of the building and climb up. It might be hard, but it was worth trying, but before that, they had to escape from this place.

"I know." Kaminari nodded. "Tell me, what should I do?" He knew he was an idiot, but he could be accepted on the Yuuei, which meant he had some potential, but that potential definitely wasn't his IQ.

"Try to use your electricity to melt the substance around us, so we can escape." Jiro looked at Kaminari and asked, "Can you do that?"

"Leave it to me!"

Kaminari might not have confidence in his head, but he had confidence in his "Quirk"!

He started to charge his electricity and tried to melt the sticky substance around him, but...

It did nothing.

"......." Jirou.

"Damn, how about more?!"

He didn't believe that he couldn't melt this sticky substance!

"Wa-Wait! Kaminari!"

Jiro was startled since Kaminari's electricity suddenly became even more intense. She wanted to dodge, but she lost her balance and fell on her buttstocks, causing her hands and pants to stick to the substance. She tried to move, but her clothes and limbs were stuck in the substance, and she couldn't move!

"Damn, what the hell is this?!"

Jirou suddenly panicked.

On the other hand, Kaminari didn't give up, or he might be even more panicked.

"1 million volts!"

Kaminari used all of his power directly, feeling annoyed, but it did nothing to the substance, and in the end, he released all of his electricity, causing his brain to short-circuit, and he became an idiot.

"Wheee~!"

On the other hand, Jiro had already fallen on the ground, and her entire back was stuck on the sticky substance. Even so, she could see Kaminari's current state, but instead of bringing her good news, this guy only brought her despair.

"It's over."

---

"It's over." 2x

Mineta and Momo said at the same time while watching what had happened to Jiro and Kaminari through the screen were made by Momo. The two looked at each other before he raised his palm with a bright smile, which made her look at it for a while.

"...Let's do a high-five."

"High-five? Is it different from the fist bump?"

"Just clap my hand."

"...like this?"

Momo was still confused but clapped his hand gently and shyly.

"...."

He couldn't say anything for a while, but he was glad that this rich lady was so gullibly cute.

However, it seemed his system was stricter than he had thought since he didn't receive anything from the system.
