261 Charisma

There were 20 students in Class 1-A, but one of them failed, which was something that Aizawa had never expected.

Aizawa looked at Midoriya, who seemed to be so depressed in the middle of the stadium before Midoriya was taken away by the staff, who wanted to clear up the stadium. As he watched all of this, he let out a long sigh as he let go of his clenching fists.

Frustrated?

He was, but he wondered what he should do in this situation.

The rest was the same since no one expected Midoriya to fail. Everyone was silent, and no one could say anything since this shocked them so much, especially when they knew Midoriya's growth was faster than anyone.

From a boy, who broke his bone whenever he broke his finger to one of the strongest students, who had fought against Stain, and also one of the strongest in the class, yet even so, the result wouldn't change with all of those facts, and he failed this exam.

"Midoriya..."

"Midoriya-kun..."

Everyone was at a loss, but the sudden explosion caused all of them to be startled. They quickly looked at the monitor and saw that all the buildings and various terrains were broken into pieces as if being destroyed by the earthquake.

"..."

Their emotions became complex at this moment since when they hadn't accepted the fact that one of their classmates failed, suddenly, they saw something unbelievable in front of their eyes.

Meanwhile, Mineta didn't think about Midoriya. Instead, he had to say the budget used by the government to support the education of a hero was so generous.

Yet this was something normal since, with the fall of the symbol of peace; the government needed to do something to fix this situation as soon as possible.

While having him as the next symbol of peace could appease the panic in society, they didn't want to do the same thing they did to All-Might, which was relying on a single person to maintain the peace in this country.

What the government needed wasn't a single All-Might, but several individuals with a power similar to All-Might.

This was why this exam was more strict and difficult than the previous year.

Still, he needed to say something. "Let's think about Midoriya later. I know you're sad, but it is too arrogant of us to think that we can complete this exam while thinking about other people when we don't know whether we will be able to complete the next exam smoothly or not."

Hearing his words, while they knew that it was heavy, they nodded.

Midoriya might have failed, but even so, did they want to fail too?

Mineta's words were also correct, and they knew that they needed to fix their attitude.

Even Mineta, who could defeat Hokusai and All-For-One, took this exam seriously, and it was too arrogant of them to think that they could succeed in the next exam while thinking about the others.

Before they worry about someone else, they should be worried about themselves first!

With Mineta as their pillar, they also quickly regained their spirits.

As for Midoriya?

They could think about him later since, as of now; they had to succeed on their exam first.

Mineta wanted to add that if they wanted to fail the exam to accompany Midoriya, he wouldn't stop them. However, he didn't say that since he knew deep in their hearts they might have known.

Iida, Bakugou, and Uraraka thought for a moment before they shook their heads since they knew that Midoriya wouldn't be happy to see someone would deliberately fail because they wanted to accompany him.

Well, Midoriya might not think so.

However, the three of them also didn't want to fail. They looked at Mineta with a determined gaze and made up their minds since, as he had said before, there was no way for them to be satisfied with mediocrity.

Still, it didn't change the fact they were confused by what the staff was doing.

"This will be the next and last stage for your exam! At this disaster site, we'll be having you all conduct rescue maneuvers."

"Ah, rescue, huh?"

Everyone quickly realized what they had to do on this exam.

'As bystanders at this disaster site, we'll be having you all conduct rescue maneuvers. Not just ordinary citizens but also individuals who have acquired these licenses before. We will test your ability to adequately carry out rescue operations."

While hearing the staff's instructions, they saw people in the ruined city.

"I see a person..!"

"Huh.. what?"

"What?! Children?! Elderly?!"

"It's dangerous! What are they trying to do?!"

Everyone was confused, but they didn't need to wait too long to understand the situation since the staff quickly explained, "These individuals have gone through all sorts of training and are now much sought after! They're part of the huc, short for the "Help us company!"

Was there such a job in this world?

However, Mineta didn't feel surprised since he had heard that there was a job that let people be paid for doing nothing in this country, so this type of job didn't really surprise him.

"Disguised as normal injured victims, members of the huc are scattered throughout the battlefield on standby! And it is all of you who will carry out their rescues. Furthermore, all of your rescue activities will be scored on a point system. By the time we have completed all the activities, those who have exceeded the average value will pass. We will be starting in ten minutes, so now is the time to go to the restroom and whatnot."

As he rubbed his chin, Momo asked, "What do you think, Minoru?"

Everyone was also looking at Mineta.

Mineta looked at them calmly and said, "To be honest, I want everyone in this place to work with all of us. After all, rescue isn't an easy job. It is different from the previous exam. It is a matter of teamwork."

"Then, tell us what to do. We will listen to you."

The rest also followed since they had gotten used to being led by Mineta, so they quickly accepted the status quo, including Bakugou, the proudest one.

More importantly, few people dared to become a leader since they had to take responsibility.

This responsibility was heavy, and some people might be crushed, but Mineta definitely wasn't one of those people.

"I see..." Mineta nodded. "If you believe me, then I will do my best. By the way, Momo, can you make a megaphone for me?'

"Ah, yes!"

Hearing his words, they somehow thought of a similar scene, which they saw in the cafeteria in the past.

Still, it made them excited somehow.

At this moment, everyone talked to each other about how to get more points since if they wanted to pass this exam, they had to get as many points as possible, but suddenly a disturbing voice caused their ears to feel uncomfortable.

"Everyone, I am sorry for startling all of you, but can you hear me for a moment?"

Everyone quickly looked at the source of the voice, and they saw that it was Mineta, which dumbfounded them.

"My name is Mineta Minoru. I don't know whether you know me or not, but that's my name, and there is a reason for me to do this. You are free to listen to me or not since I am not forcing you, but let me ask you a question...."

He gave a pause, then asked, "Do you want to just pass the exam or save all the people in this place?"

"........" Everyone.

"Me, along with everyone in my class, intend to save everyone as soon as possible, but as expected, with our manpower, it will be impossible to do it as soon as possible, so we need more help. Naturally, I won't force anyone, but if you share the same feeling as us. The feeling of wanting to save more people as soon as possible, then do you want to work together?"

"....."

To be honest, everyone in Class 1-A was dumbfounded by how fearless this guy was in talking with strangers that he didn't know and even took the leader position, but unexpectedly, everyone answered positively.

"Let me join you."

"Yeah, I want to save more people as soon as possible."

"Mineta-kun, what should we do?"

From one to two, then it started to spread everywhere before all of the people in this hall listened to him.

By these points, some of them realized.

Mineta didn't only have powerful strength and a firm will, but he also had charisma, which made people believe and follow him subconsciously without any doubts.

"Thank you." Mineta smiled. "So, let's save everyone in this place and pass our exam! I mean, all of us, 100 of us here!"

"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!"

As he was standing on the podium, he had to say it was so easy to manipulate people.
