Returning to UA

• The Next Day

• Time: 6:15 am

I woke up in the morning at breathing heavily and began looking around my room, I looked at my front door then I looked over at the window in my room which was opened maybe by my mom or Ms. Hana and I finally looked at my computer desk and everything seemed to be *Normal... everything's normal* I thought as I realized I was sweating alot as my bed was really soaked *Why am I sweating so much... I don't need to be worrying this much it was all my imagination... it was not real... it couldn't be real right* I thought and hoped as I nervously smiled before I sighed and calmed down.

I then crossed my arms and legs as I sat in my bed *I can't be thinking on whatever that dream of mine was about... unless it wasn't a dream?* I thought to which I closed my eyes and then shook my head *No no no I already established that it was not real and it was a dream, it was just my imagination running wild* I thought as I stopped shaking my head and opened my eyes to look downwards *I still cannot believe that I grew so much in just 3 weeks but while that is a good thing there is also another issue I have to deal with* I thought as I moved my right hand and placed it onto my head too feel the 2 horns which I grew while unconscious and my hair which now changed from the purple orbs that were on it into normal fluffy hair

*If the orbs on my head are gone and my hair turned normal... did I lose my quirk in exchange for this change in my appearance?* I thought as I removed my hand and looked at my palm "If so then can I really go back to UA? There's no way I could become a hero without a quirk" I whispered to myself as my right hand went limp and I closed my eyes as I felt myself sinking into depression *I really can't chase after my dream anymore... but what was my dream again? I know it had something to do with a picking up women but was that really my end goal?* I thought as I felt myself sinking even more *If that really was my reason to become a hero than I really was weak <slight chuckle> to think that was my goal and I actually wanted to chase a goal like that... but a part of me still wants to though* I thought as I chuckled a little again

*I tried hard to be better than what I was for a fragile goal like wanting to pick up women it's no wonder I was weak... I had a weak ambition and fragile goal which reflected onto my personality and gave me a weak quirk which made me weak in the process I guess a quirk does reflect a persons personality after all* I thought to which I then began making hopeless wishes *I really wish I still had my quirk if I did then I'd try and change so that I could be better... I would change my goal in a heart beat just to get my quirk back and keep my dream of becoming a hero* I thought as I curled up into a ball

<Knock Knock> I heard, someone was knocking on my door "Minoru come downstairs it's time to wake up be sure to take a bath first before coming down Ms. Hana already ran you a bath" I heard the person on the other side of the door say before I heard footsteps walking off *That was Aiko I better get ready I need to go to school and talk to principal Nezu about leaving UA since I might've lost my quirk* I thought as I stretched my arms, opened my eyes again and tried pushing myself up and off my bed <Thud!> could be heard as I fell on my chest *Oww damnit that hurt... that is really gonna come back and bite me in the back tomorrow but how in the world did I fall off of my bed!!?* I thought as I rolled onto my back so that I could rub my chest to clear away the pain.

I then sat up and saw that my legs were gone or moreover it seemed that I was melting *What The Hell!!? Am I Melting..?! HOW AM I MELTING!!?* I thought as I then began panicking and slapping myself trying to and failing to wake myself up <AHHHHHHHHHH> I screamed as I began breathing heavily and sweating again to which I then looked at my hands *HUH!? I'm Beginning To Melt Even More!?* I thought as I began panicking even more *Wait wait wait... I-I need to calm down and think of a way to stop this... I need to calm down I need a strong, focussed, calm mind* I thought as I closed my eyes, slowed down my breathing, took in a deep breath through my nose and out my mouth *I need a strong, focused mind like... a-a boulder yeah!!*

I then repeated this over and over until I finally calmed down *Alright I calmed down and now I need to think of a reason as to why I began melting...* I thought as I opened my eyes and saw that I stopped melting and my legs were back *Wha- m-my legs are back!? But they were just gone because... I was melting?* I thought as I then stood up and looked over at my bed and saw some purple liquidly substance on my bed that was moving to the side of my bed and onto the floor *What in the world is going on and what is this stuff?!* I thought as I reached in to touch the purple liquid

As I reached more and more hesitantly the purple liquid responded by stretching out upwards and as I touched it, it quickly began going up my hand *WHAT IN THE WORLD!?* I thought as I pulled my hand away *What is that!!? It seemed to be crawling up my hand!?* I thought but in reality it was moreover merging with my body *What is going on with me today!!?* I thought as I looked at the purple liquid on my hand spread and seem to blend onto my hand "What the- What is this stuff!!?* I thought as I tried to rub at the spot on my hand where the purple liquid became a part of my hand only for my hand to start hurting *Huh!? It hurts..? But that purple liquid that was on my hand though?!* I thought as I kept trying to rub the same spot

I then noticed the rest of the purple liquid on my bed began moving off of my bed, onto the floor and began climbing onto my foot and merging with my body *What is the cause of this?! Could it have something to do with my quirk?* I thought as I touched the top of my head and remembered the purple balls that were normally on my head were gone.

Before I knew it my bedroom door swung open as my mom and ms. Hana burst into my room "Minoru!! Are you alright!!?" my mother cried as she ran my side, grabbed both my shoulders and began looking around my room "Young Minoru what's wrong!? I was walking towards your room to come and call you to take your bath but as I reached for your door handle I heard you scream" she said as he also came to my mother's side "I worried of what was wrong and I wanted to open the door" she said as she walked towards my room window and closed it "But another part of me told me to go and get madam Ami to also come and check up on you so I rushed as fast as I could towards the dinning room and urgently and immediately requested her help" she said as she walked away from the window and back towards my mother's side "After that we hurried as fast as we could to check up on your. Now is everything alright son?" My mother said as she hugged me tightly "I'm fine mom everything's alright I just fell off my bed and must've hurt my shoulder" I said as I hugged her back *I am going to need to go to the doctor* I thought as me and my mother stopped hugging

• Time: 6:58 am

After all of that my mother and Ms. Hana had left my room and went of to eat breakfast as I was told to go, take a bath and come down for breakfast. I then went and took a bath before putting on the another set of clothes my mother bought yesterday *If I am going to stay this tall then I'm going to need new everyday and school clothes and shoes too* I thought after closing my room door and walking towards the stairs *I'll need going to the doctor and find out what happened to my quirk I will also need to go and redesign my hero costume* I thought as I then walked downstairs and into the dining room and sat down for dreakfast "Mom where are dad and Aiko?" I said as I looked at my plate *Oh yes gyoza(fried dumplings) with fried rice and soy sauce my favorite, this is going to be so good* I thought as I took my chopsticks "Oh well Minoru you're father went off to work and your sister went off to school a little while ago after breakfast" she said as I clasped my hands together "Thank you for the meal" I said as I then broke my chop sticks in half and began to eat.

• 8 minutes later

My mother stood up and got her things ready "Now Minoru since you grew so much your father left as he will be on a business trip to Tokyo and won't be back until saturday" my mother said as she then walked over to the front door "But that has nothing to do with you and you must be happy to be able to go back to school after so long" she said but before she could leave "Mom wait before you leave I wanted to ask if you cou-" I said but before I could finish something stopped me /Minoru shh... don't go/ I heard echoing through my head "What was it that you were saying Minoru?" my mother said as she walked up to me "Uh I-I was hoping to ask if you could take me to school that way I'll be a little early to get somethings sorted out" I said as I stood up "Oh well I suppose that there are somethings that you do have to get in order so alright then just get my car" my mother said as she turned around and we walked out to the car *Wh-why did I change my mind all of a sudden? ...No I'm over thinking it, it is probably nothing* I thought as we got into the car and left.

• Time: 7:23

My mother stopped her car infront of the school gates, my mother tapped me on the shoulder "Well here you are Minoru now be sure to get everything you need to in order before class alright?" she said as she smiled at me "Yes mom I know what I have to do see you after school" I said as I hugged her and then got out of the car "Have a great day Minoru" she said as she drove away *It's still hard to believe but her smile finally feels genuine but I'm glad it is* I thought before looking up at the huge gate *This massive gate never gets less intimidating* I thought shaking at the sight of the gate before I calmed down and walked to the school building. I opened the door and walked into the building and saw 2 people standing nearby the front, it was Sato and Kouda and they spotted me walking in *Sato and Kouda? I never thought they'd be hanging out with each other* I thought as we looked at each other *I wonder what their reactions would be if I went over and talked to them and if they ask me what's my name I'll just make an excuse before walking away* I thought as I closed my eyes and crossed my arms *They would probably go tell the rest of the class they saw a new student and when they all see me walk into the class they won't expect that I, Minoru Mineta am making a return <chuckled>* I thought as I smirked and chuckled to myself.

Unbeknownst to me both Sato and Kouda walked up to me "Hey you over there what's up?" Sato said as I then opened my eyes and noticed they were walking up to me "Are you a new student at UA?" Sato said as he stopped right infront of me with Kouda right behind him "Uhh no not at all I was just out of school for a while and just returned" I said nervously *I didn't expect them to just walk up to me* I thought as I looked at the both of them "Oh well alright, so what's you're name and what class are you in?* Sato said as he smiled at me "Oh well I have to go and get a few things sorted out so I do not have the time but it was nice meeting you Sato and Kouda bye" I said as I quickly walked away "Well see ya later- wait how'd he know our names?" Sato said as he turned to Kouda who made a confused expression before Sato must've shrugged it off.

I walked past the cafeteria and up the stairs to the 2nd floor "Alight then first off I need to go and speak with Nezu about getting a new school uniform or lending one for the day" I thought as I walked down the 2nd floor hall and bumped into someone and nearly fell "Hey Watch Where You're Going You Prick!!" The person said *Oh no I know that voice from anywhere* I thought as I looked up and saw Katsuki Bakugou standing infront of me with Kirishima by his side *Damnit why did it have to be him of all people?!* I thought looking at the bombastic hero made of dynamite "Uhh sorry I didn't mean to walk into you I'm kind of in a hurry so I'll be leaving" I said as I stood up and walked past him before he grabbed my shoulder "Aye Bakubro what's the matter the guy said he was sorry" Kirishima said trying to save my life *Please oh please stop him Mr. Rock-hard* I thought as I looked over at Bakugou who looked like he was about to explode "I feel like I know you from somewhere... why don't you tell me your name right now and I won't get violent!" He said as my shoulder began getting hot. I grabbed his hand and tried to move it before he burned me "Uhh sorry I have something to go take care of" I said smiling nervously *Oh no he's going to kill me!!* I thought as I got more and more anxious.

I then became so anxious that I melted into a puddle *Huh what happened wait did I melt again but this time I am an actual puddle now!!?* I thought as I was now a dark purple puddle there on the floor "WHAT THE HELL!!? THE BASTARD MELTED!!" Bakugou yelled in anger as he looked at puddle-me "Woah that's so cool" Kirishima said as he looked at the purple puddle that I was *Oh no I better get out of here while I have the chance... somehow* I thought as I tried running away but couldn't as I didn't have legs currently *H-how am I supposed to move like this?* I thought trying to run away from Bakugou before he got mad "Hey dude are you alright or do you need help?" Kirishima said as he bent down on one knee and moved his head in closer to hear my response /Swim Minoru... Swim fast/ I heard echoing through my head *Swim? But I don't have a body unless... no wait who said that?* I thought questioning who said that to me before I shrugged it off and decided to try swimming as fast as I could.

I then began inching really quickly across the floor "What the- he's moving!! GET BACK HERE YOU BASTARD!!" Bakugou yelled trying to chase after me "Bakugbro hold on man just let him go he didn't do anything wrong" Kirishima said as he held Bakugou back and I left them behind. I then kept going until I stopped infront of the stairs to the 3rd floor *Alright it seems like I was able to get away from Bakugou I never really liked him to begin with... but now I have another problem* I thought with the stairs to the 3rd floor right infront of me *Now I need to get back to normal but how though?* I thought moving from side to side *Oh wait I remember if my legs turned back to normal when I calmed down and focused then I'll probably go back to normal if I do the same thing* I thought remembering earlier today *It's the best option I have now* I thought as I then calmed down and focused only to not turn back *It didn't work? Maybe I'm doing something wrong I mean I was focusing and calming down what else am I supposed to do?* I thought trying to figure this out /Feel... know what you feel like and be the opposite/ echoed through my head *What the- who said that* I thought turning around to see no one around *...Must've been my imagination* I thought turning back to the stairs

*I need to know what I feel like? I guess I feel like water but I need to be the opposite of water? That would be a...* I thought before I remembered earlier this morning when I imagined myself as a boulder *Do I need to imagine myself as a boulder or a solid? Is that it if so then that's actually... convenient* I then calmed myself down and imagined myself as a boulder and in no time I formed into myself again *So that's it that is actually very nice and it seems that my clothes actually take on the same melted effect my body does* I thought as I looked at my hands, arms, torso and clothes *This is probably because of my quirk. This is even more reason for me to go to the doctor but why did I change my mind when I was going to ask my mother to take me though?* I thought as I shook my head and began walking up the stairs *Wait no... that's a worry for another time* I thought.

I walked up to the 3rd floor and saw a lot of other students on this floor mainly because this is where the 1st year classes were. I turned around saw 3 people I knew walking in my direction, it was Kyoka Jiro, Ashido Mina and Yaoyorozu Momo *Oh no... I definitely do not have time for this I already wasted 10 minutes just with my interactions with Sato, Kouda and Bakugou and Kirishima I have alot of things to do and not alot of time before class* I thought as I turned around and ran up the stairs to the 4th floor.

• Yaoyorozu Momo

I walked to class with my friends Mina and Jiro "I don't know Yaoyorozu your hero suit is already skimpy enough as it is and you already show off more than enough so I don't think you need to remove anymore from it" Jiro said giving her opinion on how I should improve my costume "I suppose you are correct I just don't know how else I could improve my suit as I have enough surface are to use my quirk but another problem I may encounter is when my suit gets ruined I'll end up with no suit and I'll be completely..." I said not wanting to speak of something like that in the halls "You're not wrong about that but what can you do about that? There has to be a way to fix that problem isn't there?" Mina said as she was infront of us and was walking backwards with her hands behind her back "I wonder Yaomomo isn't there away to make fabric that doesn't get damaged?" Jiro asked who looked at me with a raised eyebrow "That is a great idea Kyoka-san but I'd need the help of the support... classes" I said as I looked passed Mina who began talking and saw a new face

*Who is that purple haired boy, I don't believe I've seen him before but I feel like I already know him* I thought as I saw him look at our direction, he then frowned and ran up the stairs to the 4th floor "Well that was rude who does that kid think he is" said Jiro as she stopped Mina from falling backwards "Huh did you notice that boy aswell Jiro-san?" I asked as all 3 of us stopped "Yeah I did, he was looking at us and frowned for some reason" Jiro said as she crossed her arms "Who are you 2 talking about?" Mina asked as she turned her head back and saw no one "Well some kid who just came up the stairs looked over at us, frowned and ran upstairs" Jiro said as Mina looked back at the 2 of us "Jiro might you know who that boy was? I don't believe I've seen him the entire semester but it feels like I know him" I asked her wondering whether I know that boy or not "No I don't recognize that guy it might feel like we know him but I've never see him here at UA and frankly I really couldn't care" Jiro said as she walked past Mina and towards class as we followed behind her

• Mineta Minoru

I walked up the stairs and made it to the 4th floor *I don't think they saw me but I don't have time to worry about that I will save that for my amazing reveal <chuckle>* I thought as I chuckled to myself and walked down the hall to principal Nezu's office. I stopped right infront of the doors to principal Nezu's office and looked at the doors intently *Alright I have nothing to be afraid of... I am just going to talk to principal Nezu about everything I need to get in order* I thought as I took a deep breath and knocked on the doors

[Uh hello principal Nezu may I please come in?] I said from the other side of the door [You may come in] I heard coming from the otherside of the door to which I then opened the door, walked inside, closed the door and turned around to see Nezu speaking with Aizawa sir "Oh I hope I am not interrupting anything" I said as I walked over to principal Nezu's desk "Oh not at all young man we were just discussing what to do with one of our students who currently hasn't returned" he said as he laid back on his chair "Wait a minute... I don't believe I've seen you here at UA... so who are you?" Aizawa said with clear suspicion in his tone "Oh I suppose with how I look now I would be unrecognizable but... it's me Aizawa-sir, I am Mineta Minoru" I said as I bowed down and stood back up "Wait What? That can't be problem child was sent to the hospital 3 weeks ago... although now that I hear it your voice is pretty similar to his if not a little bit different" Aizawa said surprised to hear my name after so long "Minoru Mineta? Who was that again Aizawa? Is it one of your students?" Nezu said tilting his head to the left "Yes he is one of mine but Mineta is completely different in terms of appearance compared to you" Aizawa said as he walked closer with his suspicion growing even more "No r-really sir it is me... I am Mineta Minoru if you don't believe me I can prove it" I said worryingly stepping back a little "Alright then and how will you prove that?" Aizawa said as he crossed his arms "Well ok I know I can tell you something only Kaminari and I know of" I said as I clapped my hands together before crossing them and gained a snarky smirk on my face.

"And what is that exactly?" Aizawa said lifting one eyebrow up "Kaminari and I were both in the same middle school, we accidentally leaked some information that got one of the staff fired. That being that the information we leaked hinted at them being a scammer that had also escaped arrest multiple times" I said as Aizawa seemed to close his eyes for a second before opening them again "There aren't many people that know about that, Mineta and Kaminari were part of the reason as to why that man was caught but they both were kept secret and the whole situation was kept quiet for the most part" Aizawa said as he opened his eyes and looked back at me but I noticed his face contort a little before he shook his face and looked back at me "Alright then I guess that settles it you are problem child but that doesn't change the fact that you missed a full 3 weeks of school and you are behind with your work and assessment training" Aizawa said with an angry tone "Now is that all you're here for? Or is there something else" Nezu asked as he grabbed a cup of tea and began drinking it with grace "Well no sir see I need a new uniform because my old one isn't going to fit me and I was hoping to get permission to redesign my hero suit too" I said as Nezu put down his cup of tea "Well yes that is a problem we need to sort out for you so as soon as you send in your new design for your hero suit you will receive it in 1-2 weeks at minimum" Principal Nezu said as he laid back on his chair "As for your school uniform you can go and receive a new one by the end of the day at the storage center as for now go to class" Principal Nezu continued "Thank you sir, good bye now" I said as I then walked out of the office and towards the class.

• Aizawa:

"Well then Nezu I think it's about time I got to class" I said as I then picked up an small stack of papers "Aizawa you seem a little off for some reason might I ask why? Is it that you do not believe that, the young man might not have been your student Mineta" Nezu said putting his arms on his table, bending forward and showed me a face of worry "No... it's not that... that was definitely Mineta no doubt about it... but for a split second I felt something looming over his shoulder" I said as I turned around to face Nezu "Something or someone was standing over his shoulder... hiding themself in his shadow... something is definitely not right and it just might cost us something huge" I said as I turned to face the door across the room "I'll have to keep a close eye on Mineta for now until I can confirm my suspicion to be true... but I hope that it really is just suspicion and not true" I said as I walked out of the office and towards class.

• Shadow Mineta(Morthose):

I appeared standing behind the doors Aizawa closed as he walked away *Damnit seems that more and more people are noticing my presence... I'm really becoming to noticeable and I need to finish what I started fast* I thought as I disappeared and reappeared right behind Minoru /Don't worry as soon as I'm done we'll be one again and then we'll finish the Doctor for what he did to us/ I whispered to Minoru as he turned around to see me before I sank way into his shadow.
