Someone that you shouldn't know

On the provisional hero license exam, there was this tradition where everyone in the area targeted the students of Yuuei.

Why?

It was because Yuuei was famous and was known as the strongest.

Naturally, those from another school couldn't accept it. They were young, and how could they admit they were lower than the Yuuei?

More importantly, there was this Sports Festival in Yuuei, so everyone in this place knew about the Quirks of every student in the Yuuei.

Aizawa knew this, but he didn't tell anyone. Still, when he saw Mineta pass in just two seconds, he was dumbfounded. By now, he was glad that his emotion was kind of cold, so no one could tell how surprised he was.

However, it was different from Emi Fukukado (Ms. Joke) since she hissed and looked at this scene in disbelief.

"...Eraser, your student is so strong..."

"Did you only realize that now?"

"Well..." When Emi thought about Mineta's fight on the Kamina Ward, she knew how stupid her question was.

This was the next symbol of peace.

While it felt unacceptable before, she understood now and felt that it was really suitable.

"To be honest, if he wants to, he can take down all the students in this stadium."

"...you're joking, right?"

Aizawa looked at Emi lazily and asked, "Do you think I am you?"

"....."

Emi was silent, and she was so glad that her students weren't targeted by Mineta before.

To be honest, if Mera didn't stop Mineta, Mineta might eliminate all the students from several schools. Fortunately, he stopped quickly, so Mineta only eliminated all the students from one school.

This was a big disadvantage for everyone, and the easiest way to pass was to team up with everyone, yet Mineta's words changed everything.

If you want to reach the top, you should show that you're special, and everything starts from the first exam.

Bakugou and Todoroki were deceiving, and they left without hesitation since they wanted to become the best of the best. They knew that Mineta's words were correct. If they failed in this place, then how could they become the number one hero?

Mineta had left an enormous distance between them that they couldn't even see his back, but even so, how could they stop?

However, Momo was speechless and said, "You don't need to listen to him. I think it is better for us to team up. Whether we're going to be at the top or so-so, it doesn't matter." She didn't care about the top or so-so since the number one hero was, without a doubt, Mineta, so why should she fight for the top?

She was also comfortable by his side, and she also knew he needed someone who could support him.

The girls also followed Momo, and some guys also followed.

However, a few guys still struggled before they made up their minds to do everything solos like Mineta, Todoroki, and Bakugou.

To be honest, everything was their own choice, so Momo didn't force anyone to follow her.

Mineta also gave them a chance to prepare since he had erased most of the participants that were close to their location, giving them a chance to think about what they wanted to do with their careers.

"Midoriya, what about you?" Kirishima asked since this guy had been standing in a place. He was also about to leave, but with his manly character, how could he leave his classmates?

As for Bakugou, strangely enough, Kirishima didn't worry about him anymore since he felt that Bakugou had gotten better somehow.

Unlike the others who had made up their minds, Midoriya still struggled in the place and wasn't sure what to do. After all, unlike Mineta, Todoroki, and Bakugou, who was decisive, he was far more indecisive and timid. He had also taken the initiative to say that everyone should be together, so they could pass together, but by saying this, it would acknowledge that he wasn't serious about reaching the top.

His determination to become the inheritor of All-Might was nothing but lip service, so he could become a hero.

As for becoming a number one hero or not, he didn't think much.

Yet Mineta's words shook his heart to the core, and Midoriya struggled for a moment before he made up his mind. "I will do this exam solo."

"Is that so? Then, do your best. I will be with everyone."

Kirishima left with Momo's group, leaving Midoriya alone.

Midoriya clapped his cheeks to show his determination before he quickly dodged since he was about to be hit.

Still, he had to say, doing everything alone was hard.

Yet, when he thought All-Might, also did everything alone, he knew he had to do a similar thing.

Unlike the others, Mineta, who had finished his exam, took some snacks and tea, which was prepared by the staff of the exam, before he sat on the nearby sofa and started to read a novel. He knew that it would take a while for the next exam to start, so he had to enjoy this moment.

As he was reading, someone suddenly greeted him.

"Hey, hello! Nice to meet you, Mineta-kun!"

He realized that he had been absorbed in his book that he didn't realize that someone was in front of him, but he had to say this guy was so bold that he tried to talk with him even though he put an aura for people not to interrupt him, but when he glanced down, he saw his feet trembled.

'I guess he isn't that courageous, huh?'

"You're... Inasa Yoarashi?"

"Ah? You know me?" The big young man with a crew cut was surprised and happy when Mineta knew his name. Still, he also felt relief since Mineta wasn't like that guy who was officially about to become the number one hero.

"My teacher told me that you were accepted on the Yuuei through a recommendation, and your result was better than Todoroki, but in the end, you chose Shiketsu."

'Oh-ho? What's this?'

When he mentioned Todoroki, Inasa's expression turned so bad, as if he was eating shit, but he decided to ignore it.

"So, how is Shikatsu? Is it good?"

"Ah, of course!"

Hearing this question, Inasa talked excitedly about his school.

Mineta said nothing and just listened to Inasa's story about his school.

As they talked, Inasa also asked, "Ah, if possible, can you tell me about the incident—" While he was loud, he was also quite sensitive, so he quickly noticed the change in Mineta's expression.

"So-Sorry!"

"It's okay. I am sure that everyone will be curious about that incident, but please forgive me that I can't tell you much about it since it is confidential, and honestly, this isn't a good memory for me."

From his expression alone, one could tell how sad and heartbroken he was, which caused Inasa's heart to ache and make him angry at himself.

"I AM SORRY!"

*Bang!*

Inasa slammed his head to the ground, apologizing as his head was bleeding.

"No, no. You don't need to apologize like this. It's normal for you to ask."

"But even so..."

Mineta helped Inasa stand up as if he felt quite awkward to have someone bow their head at him. However, inwardly, he didn't mind having someone bow his head at him, but he was afraid that this feeling was too addictive.

"Minoru!"

They turned and saw Momo and everyone who joined her finish the exam.

"Well, my friends are here. I will go now."

"Ah, um..."

"If you don't mind, can we exchange our contact information?" Mineta asked. "There are many things that I want to ask, and it is also a good chance for us to become better heroes, considering we can learn about the difference between Yuuei and Shiketsu."

"......." Inasa blinked his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"Is that a no?"

"Ah, no, yes, please!" Inasa bowed his head again and slammed it to the ground, causing his head to bleed again.

"......"

Leaving Inasa's habit aside, Mineta got Inasa's number, and he knew if he played with Shiketsu in the future, Inasa would, without a doubt, bring that girl who could trigger his system. He didn't need to ask and only needed to get Inasa's information since, in the future, when he played with Shiketsu; there would be many chances for him to meet her.

As they exchanged contact, Mineta left, and Inasa waved his hand excitedly before he looked around, trying to talk with someone, without knowing he was being used by Mineta.
