MHA: Living as Mineta is hard

Frankly, Mineta must admit he underestimated Yuuei High School.

While he was still in the hotel with Ibara, their parents called them in the early morning, telling them the letter from the Yuuei was coming. He wanted to stay longer, but Ibara hurriedly told him to get up and put on their clothes before they went home to their respective houses since their letters were sent to their houses.

"Call me when you have seen the result, alright?" Ibara kissed him before she left.

Watching Ibara leave hurriedly, Mineta sighed and walked home in a relaxed manner since he wasn't in a hurry. Even if he went home sooner or later, the result wouldn't change, so what was the point of being in a hurry?

However, his parents scolded him for being lax on this matter, considering he left for fishing when the result of the entrance exam for Yuuei High School was sent today.

Yet, could they blame him?

When he thought about his previous world, he thought the letter would come late, but it seemed this word was different.

He quickly stopped them from getting angry since he wanted to see the letter, and after he got it, he didn't even care if his parents were right next to him, and he just opened the letter in the living room with his two parents on his side.

Even if they didn't really want him to become a hero, he could see they were also quite excited when they thought their son was also about to become a hero.

Yet it was normal since even if being a hero was a dangerous job, it was a stable job since it was part of a civil servant with the best developments out of all careers in the world.

After all, as long as you were powerful and popular, money, fame, and everything would be within the grasp of your hands.

This was why most people in this world, especially the ones with limited economic conditions, would dream of becoming a hero since becoming a hero would change their fate.

As for those young masters, they were too lazy to become a hero since inheriting their parents' wealth was far better than a dangerous profession such as a hero. However, sometimes, some people seek fame more than money, so maybe, many of them want to become heroes.

Still, the most important thing was the result of his exam.

His parents, who sat by his side, were also nervous, but unlike them, he was so calm. When he opened the letter, it wasn't a letter he had seen. Instead, it was a device as thin as paper.

"..."

"Hello~!"

They must admit they were quite startled when the one who welcomed them wasn't a letter. Instead, a hologram screen.

The hologram screen appeared before them, and a small creature, similar to a bear or rat, appeared before them.

"Hello~! Hello~! Can you hear me, Minoru Mineta-kun?"

"...You're?"

"I am Nezu! I am the principal of Yuuei!"

"....."

Mineta thought this was a recording, but he didn't expect it to be a real-time video call, which made him wonder what Nezu wanted to talk about with him.

"What's wrong?" Nezu suddenly asked since he noticed Mineta's expression was rather flat.

"Nothing, but are you the one who will announce the result of my exam, sir?"

"Naturally." Nezu smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have passed! You even got the 1st rank on this entrance exam!"

"Wow!" 2x

His parents were so happy that they hugged him at the same time.

"...."

He looked at his parents helplessly and could only smile. While they might not be his birth parents, after becoming Mineta, he knew that they were his parents. He also hugged them and patted their shoulders gently.

"Hahaha. I am glad that you're happy. We from Yuuei High School welcome you to the hero department to become the next generation of heroes! Ah, right. Before I finish this message, I will tell you what you need to prepare before school starts."

"Er... can you send it to my email?" He could feel his smartphone tremble, and somehow, he had an idea who had called him. Still, he knew that the matter of Nezu was more important, but instead of hearing what he needed to prepare from Nezu's mouth, it was better for him to send him an email since he could have a note from it.

"Certainly, but I want to talk with you more."

"Sure."

Mineta wondered whether there was an interview test, but anyway, he was already accepted, and it wouldn't be hurt to talk with Nezu, the principal of the Yuuei, since he was curious.

Their conversation was relatively mild, and they mostly talked about Yuuei and his reason for becoming a hero. There was no private question, which was hard to answer, but he could tell that Nezu was curious about his "Quirk" since, from the record, the development of his "Quirk" was out of the chart.

From pulling a sticky ball from his hair to creating a sticky substance, which could be shaped as he wills.

However, he only told Nezu that he trained hard since he wanted to become better. It was better like this, staying ambiguous and pure. He had never done anything wrong, after all, so he didn't have anything to fear. However, he realized that Yuuei might not be as simple as it seemed, and it made him worried somehow.

'If I'm not wrong, this school should be one of the safest places in this country, right?'

He wondered how a school could become one of the safest places in this country, but everything might be related to Nezu. While he didn't think Nezu would try to do something for him, considering he had nothing that would be worth Nezu's interest.

Except for his experience in making his "Quirk" stronger and his popularity as All-Tuber.

However, he became curious about Nezu, wondering who this bear-like mouse was.

Was he really only a principal of the Yuuei?

Shouldn't he have other identities?

What was his "Quirk"?

Or was Nezu just a rare animal born with a "Quirk"?

While it was rare, some animals were born with a "Quirk."

He might have never seen it, but he had read an article, and there was such a case.

Anyway, if it was someone else, they wouldn't have such a worry about Nezu.

However, he was an alien in this world. He wasn't a native of this world, so when he arrived in this world, he had always been careful to the point of almost being paranoid.

However, what was the point of worrying now?

Even if Nezu got all of his information, he could do nothing since his power was limited, especially in terms of wealth, connection, and authority.

While he had said that the power of money, connection, and authority might not be able to protect him in this world, they were still necessary and weren't something that could be underestimated.

He might have gotten stronger, but there were many things that he didn't know and was helpless to stop in this world, especially when he realized this mouse had gotten most of his information.

When he thought about all of his information lying bare naked in front of Nezu, he could feel his heart tremble.

'It seems I need some countermeasure.'

He knew it was necessary to prevent his information from being known, but he didn't have the power to do that, especially in front of Nezu, so it was better that he didn't hide anything and even the fact that he was the famous All-Tuber since it was useless.

However, the fact that Nezu had investigated all of his information annoyed him.

Still, he knew his rage was futile anyway, so it was better to act like he was a good-natured boy, getting into Nezu's good side, so he could use the resource down by this bear-like mouse since he knew this guy was one of the wealthiest men (animals) in the world.

"Hahaha, as expected, it seems I am right that you're that famous All-Tuber. Next time, let's have a fish together."

"Haha, for sure." His lips twitched, thinking this mouse thought he had outsmarted him, but he only smiled and showed an amiable expression.

While there was something that he wanted to ask Nezu, it was better that he didn't ask more than he needed since they had only met each other for the first time. He could see that Nezu was smart and even had a high IQ, enough to crush him to the point where he could not lift a hand. However, his power had never been lying in his IQ. Instead, his power had always been on his EQ, and he could see that Nezu's EQ definitely wasn't his highest point.

He might not be able to beat Nezu in his IQ, but he could work him like a dog, making him think he was Nezu's best ally.

He still maintained his smile, and Nezu talked happily with him.

While they were talking to each other, suddenly Ibara came and jumped into him.

"Minoru-kun, I got accepted!"

Ibara was so happy and kissed his lips without hesitation.

"...." Mineta.

"....." Nezu.

"Wait, wait, Ibara, the principal, is in front of us." He looked at his parents helplessly, but they could only shrug their shoulders since it was something natural for him and Ibara to do this, so it was impossible to stop it.

"Ah?"

Ibara was stunned and noticed Nezu watching her on the hologram screen.

Nezu smiled and said, "Shiozaki Ibara, right? My name is Nezu. I am the principal of Yuuei."

"Ah, uh, good morning, sir." Ibara was pale and guiltily lowered her head.

"I am also sorry too, Principal Nezu." Minata also apologized.

"Hahaha... it's okay! Our school won't stop a romance between students."

'What about romance with a teacher?' Mineta was curious, but he shut his mouth.

"But please watch the place when you want to do an intimate action, alright?" Nezu blushed while coughing hard.

"...Sorry." 2x

What could they say?

Mineta hoped that an apology would make this matter end faster.

"Well, that's alright. Then, I won't talk for too long. We'll wait for you two in the Yuuei! Also, don't forget to send the design of your costume."

They talked for a while before Nezu ended his communication.

When the conversation ended, Ibara was so embarrassed and could only hug him to hide her embarrassment.

Mineta rubbed his glabella, but suddenly he thought something. "Wait, a costume?" He wondered what kind of costumes he should make since it would identify and brand himself as what kind of hero he would be in the future.

While he initially didn't have an interest in becoming a hero since he had to decide to take this path, he had to take it seriously or jokingly, but before that, he brought Ibara to his room since he might need to punish this girl now.
