284 Why?

While they marveled at his ability, Mineta asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to strike?"

Hearing his question, they quickly reacted and charged forward. The actions of the yakuza members were definitely blatant provocation, and without a doubt, they had become villains since they attacked them.

No one hesitated, and with Sir Night Eye as the leader, they changed forward as they took down a lot of small fries from the yakuza organization.

Mineta didn't do anything, and no one told him to charge forward, too, since he had done everything he could. As of now, he just watched over them from behind as he looked at his grape maiden. The opponent that he had just taken down wasn't some small fries. Instead, this person was one of the executives with a powerful Quirk.

If he wasn't wrong, the Quirk of this person should be "Stamina Absorbing."

This Quirk was dangerous since it was an "area-of-effect" ability, which meant, it would affect everyone. If everyone's stamina was drained by this person, then their mission would be equal to failure.

For this mission, they couldn't fail, so Mineta took down this person first. Naturally, he also didn't want to enter the maze-like underground and fight various villains. However, even if he didn't follow them, he could somehow imagine how their fight would be.

Mineta was sure that after they passed through the group of small fries, they would fight the executive members one after another. By then, the hero group would be divided by the villains, and they would fight one by one until the main protagonist fights against the main villain.

It was the most common plot.

The side character would fight against the side villains.

The main character would fight against the main villain.

Naturally, the process wouldn't be that simple. They had to overcome many hurdles and obstacles before meeting the last boss. The main protagonist also wouldn't appear in the beginning. Instead, the main protagonist would appear at the last moment when everyone was in a crisis before the main protagonist took down the main villain.

The plot was like this, but even if this was a cliche plot, it was still good since as long as the fight and the emotion of the villains and the heroes were in the place and could affect the readers, it would become a good story.

"Are you okay, Minoru?"

"You should rest."

Nejire and Ryukyu looked at him worriedly since he had used a lot of his stamina.

"I am okay. You don't need to worry about me. More importantly, we should be ready in case everyone is in need of help."

As of now, everyone had charged forward, half a group of police at the entrance along with him, Nejire, and Ryukyu.

Mineta aside, Nejire and Ryukyu didn't join the group to take down the yakuza group because their Quirk made it hard for them to fight in the small space.

Nejire's physical ability was far from good, and she had always fought from a distance. She also moved by floating around, so in case she fought in a small space like a hall, maze, or any other, she would be at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, Ryukyu's case was more obvious. When she used her Quirk, her body would become so huge. Instead of helping her allies, she would burden them, so she waited outside in case the fight might spread to the surrounding area.

As of now, Sir Night Eye, Mirio, Tamaki, Aizawa, and Mirko had charged inside the building, so they didn't need to worry about anything.

As for the other heroes, to be honest, Mineta wasn't sure whether they could fight or not, especially when he saw their funny-like costumes. He knew being a hero needed to attract attention, but he wondered whether they used their heads since their costumes affected their activity, especially the cape.

However, it had nothing to do with him.

His mission was over, and he just needed to wait outside.

Naturally, even if he waited outside, it didn't mean he did nothing. Instead, he helped the police to capture those yakuza with his substances. With his substance, it was impossible for anyone to escape. He also didn't want to make everyone see that he did nothing. He needed to do something, even though what he did was something small.

He might be dubbed as the next symbol of peace, but now, he was nothing but an intern. Nejire, Ryukyu, and the other police forces also helped him, so the process of taking down the members of the yakuza was relatively fast. Before long, they had nothing to do, and they only needed to wait until their ally took down the enemy.

Unlike the original, this time, Shie Hassaikai had to face Mirko.

Mirko and Midoriya were quite similar to each other since their stronger point was their physical ability.

If there was a difference, Mirko would be more competent than Midoriya, so the fight should be easier.

However, Mineta forgot that without the protagonist, the IQ and the strength of the main villain wouldn't be lowered. Instead, they might be even stronger.

Suddenly, everyone on the surface felt the earth trembling.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Everyone in this country was familiar with earthquakes. Instead, it was an everyday thing, but Mineta's expression changed when he noticed a crack in the ground nearby.

"Everyone quickly moves away!"

Everyone was confused, but Nejire and Ryukyu quickly reacted.

Mineta quickly dragged everyone along with the villains, who had been caught. Naturally, he couldn't bring all of them, and many of them were left behind, except for the police, who had moved away from their previous spot.

They might be confused, but they still believed in Mineta's words, especially when he had gained the trust of all of them. More importantly, they quickly realized why he told them to run away.

It was just a small crack, but it quickly spread to every direction before it created a giant hole that was about to swallow all of them!

"Run!"

While some of them tried to bring the small fries members of the yakuza group since they were begging them, not everyone was lucky, and they were quickly swallowed by the ground.

"ARRGGGHHH! How dirty! How dirty!"

The maniacal scream could be heard from the bottom.

"Mirko!"

Suddenly, they saw Mirko jump out from the hole while holding three people on her shoulders. Those three people were Sir Night Eye, Mirio, and a little girl. All of them were injured to various degrees, but without a doubt, Sir Night Eye and Mirio were the most serious since their sides were stabbed by something, and there was a large hole in their bodies.

"Togata!" Nejire cried.

"Drink this."

Mineta quickly reacted and forced them to drink, causing their complexion to become better.

"Dammit!"

Mirko also drank the vial, and her stamina also recovered slightly, but even so, her expression was extremely solemn.

"GIVE HER BACK TO ME!"

The little girl trembled and showed fear as she heard this voice, but could she blame her?

After all, all of them saw the source of this voice.

"Monster..."

This was the only word to describe this situation.

Whether it was the street, houses, gravel, or even the people, they were all absorbed into the hole.

"Help! Help me!"

"The police officer! Please help us!"

"I don't want to die!"

Some people were saved by Mineta, and they were quickly pulled by him, but not all of them could be so lucky and pulled into the hole.

Then, from that hole, a monster appeared.

However, Mineta saw Kai Chisaki, Overhaul, at the center of this monster.

"I will kill all of you!"

Chisaki didn't care about anything, and as of now, he just wanted to destroy everything.

Mineta's lips twitched, and he wondered why it had become like this.
