Fool

"Thanks."

Todoroki stood in front of Mineta's room as he received the important photo from Mineta.

"Be careful next time."

"Yes."

"What's wrong?" Mineta felt weird when Todoroki kept looking at him.

Todoroki thought that Mineta would ask him a question about the photo, which was something related to his family. He had prepared for it and was about to show an uncomfortable expression, yet Mineta didn't ask anything, which made him strangely uncomfortable somehow.

Shouldn't Mineta be curious?

However, Mineta didn't care much about the photo of a woman on Todoroki's side. He was sure that the woman was Todoroki's mother or Endavour's wife, but how old was she? How many years have passed?

When he thought about older women in this world, he hardly felt that they were attractive, especially when he thought about his mother, Recovery Lady, or the madam president.

Unlike in his other novels, the group of older women in this novel was less attractive.

So he didn't have much expectation of Todoroki's mother.

"Are you going out?" Todoroki asked since he could see that Mineta seemed ready to go out.

"Well, I plan to walk around." Mineta locked the door of his room and left Todoroki, who was still staying in a place. "See you later, Todoroki."

"...see you."

Todoroki looked at Mineta before he looked at the photo in his hands before he sighed in relief.

Mineta wasn't sure what Todoroki was thinking. Instead, he was looking at the reward that he got from Uraraka.

<As you have kissed Uraraka Ochako, you have received a "Friction Manipulation" (Expert)>

???

He had to say the reward he got from kissing someone was amazing.

Friction.

The simplest thing he could do with this ability was to make everything slippery, including his substance. As long as one stood on his substance, they would fall. He could also increase the friction, which made it hard for people to move or increase the power of his attack since more friction could increase the power of his attack.

In other words, this ability was full of versatility.

However, this was nothing in front of the many rewards that he might gain in the future.

The matter with Ibara was solved, and he knew that she would accept what he was doing, so he was going to test it. Still, leaving Yui, Reiko, Hagakure, and Jiro, he had to handle the matter of Kendo and Momo.

However, even now, they hadn't said anything, and he knew that as long as he had sex with the two, they would forgive him, especially when they saw how brave he was when he saved all of them.

A damsel in distress, which might be a cliche, was the most effective way for one to get a woman.

In the end, words weren't something the most important thing to get a girl.

Even if he said something, everything would sound like an excuse, especially when Momo and Kendo had seen him have sex with Shino (Madalay).

While he felt nothing toward them, he knew their feelings toward him were deep.

The scars, which he had inflicted on their hearts, didn't make them hate him. Instead, they made him more unforgettable in their hearts.

All he had to do was to play his cards well, and by now, he knew that he didn't need to do anything since the one who sought him would be them instead of him.

Did he feel guilty?

If it was before, he might think so, but with a clear goal on his mind, such infamy and sacrifice were nothing in his eyes.

Everything was for a better future.

He walked toward the dorm of Class 1-B and pressed the bell of the dorm. He knew they should be busy unpacking, but it didn't matter since he was just visiting Ibara.

The students in Class 1-B might be busy, but some were free, and when they heard a bell, many were curious, and when some of them opened the door, they were surprised.

"Huh? It's Mineta!"

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Your body isn't injured, right?"

They quickly asked him many questions since they saw the battle of Mineta against All-For-One and Hokusai, especially the game in which he was forced to receive three attacks from the black All-Might, All-For-One, and Hokusai.

The last one, Hokusai's bomb, when everyone thought that everything was over, Mineta bounced into the sky and saved everyone.

His manly figure was seen by everyone, and while no one said anything, they thought of him as a real hero.

"Wait, is Mineta here? Give me away!"

Suddenly, the troublemaker appeared by pushing everyone away and stood in front of Mineta with his haughty expression.

"Hey, Monoma, don't cause trouble!"

"Yeah, stop with your antics for today!"

Everyone quickly looked at him in wary and stopped him even before Kendo was going to snap Monoma's neck.

However, Kendo didn't seem to stop Monoma and looked at Mineta from a distance in a complicated mood.

"You... how are you?" Monoma asked worriedly.

"....."

Everyone looked at Monoma in shock, and they quickly rubbed their ears, wondering whether they had heard something wrong since Monoma, the number one hater of Mineta, would ask such a question.

"I am okay. Thank you for asking, Monoma. Also, thank you for helping me on the internet."

"Huh?! Who is helping you?! Don't misunderstand! I just don't want those ignorant people to say whatever they want! And... and... as my rival, I can't let you go down like this! Yes, you're my rival!"

"...." Everyone.

Rival?

They looked at each other awkwardly, wondering whether Monoma could become Mineta's rival.

"Even so, I am grateful to you."

"Enough of the pleasantries! We're the enemy! It's impossible for us to become friends!" Monoma blushed and was quite uncomfortable by how polite Mineta was. "So what are you doing here? If you're going to spy on our class, let me tell you, it is impossible! The bond of the students in Class 1-B is as strong as steel! It is impossible for you to do anything against us!"

"...."

They had to say they felt a bit embarrassed by Monoma's words.

"Well, firstly, I want to thank you."

"Oh-Oh... it's okay..." Monoma looked away and felt embarrassed.

"....." Everyone.

"Also, I want to see Ibara."

"I am here." Ibara pushed Monoma aside, causing him to stagger on the ground before she took Mineta's hand and said, "Let's go to my room." She then pulled him and led him to her room naturally.

Monoma, who was pushed to the ground, looked at Ibara in shock.

However, the rest wasn't much different, and they looked at Mineta and Ibara in shock.

They knew that Mineta and Ibara had been dating each other for so long, so should they have kissed each other?

However, they didn't know Reiko, and Yui also followed them.

The rest of the girls also followed curiously.

Only Kendo stayed in a place, struggling since she just didn't know what to do, but she knew she had to talk with him since she wanted to know how he really felt about her.

Did she enter the important part of his heart?

Or did he just play around?

Suddenly, the memories they shared emerged in her mind, and she knew it was impossible for her to forget about him.
