Chapter One: Enlightenment

What went wrong? It was just supposed to be a field trip to Qing Qing City. They were supposed to go there to learn more about the origin of quirks to better understand the supernatural abilities they had been given-

Ah, right. It was a villain, because of course it was. Their teacher, Shouta Aizawa, was in a quirk museum taking notes with Izuku, Todoroki, and Mineta. Why Mineta, you might be wondering? That didn't matter, because the planned day was going to go of course very soon.

"So many hot babes in here, I've hit the jackpot!" Mineta remarked to himself, already drooling. One of Aizawa's veins bulged around his forehead, clearly annoyed by his student's antics.

"Mineta, I swear. We came here to learn more about quirks, not harass the women here with our eyes!" He scolded. He slowed himself down so that Mineta had caught up to him and promptly grabbed the balls that made up his hair. "Give one more dirty remark and I'm sending you back to the hotel, got it?"

Fortunately, he did get it. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the way the pro hero had hoped. "Wait really? With the two strongest guys in our class with you, I can go back to a heaven filled with hot, beautiful high school girls!? Don't mind if I do!"

Out of nowhere, Deku flicked Mineta in the forehead. "Ow, what was that for!"

In response, the green-haired hero in training merely sighed. "Mineta, if you go back there and start doing dirty things to the girls, they will hurt you, very badly too. If they don't, Kacchan will do it for them. For your sake and for my own, do not cause any more trouble, please."

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Eraserhead chuckled in agreement.

In his mind, Mineta's thoughts of beautiful girls were invaded by an image that was rather gruesome. Immobilizing him with her quirk, Tsuyu would bind the grape hero in training for long enough for Yaoyorozu to create a lethal weapon with her quirk. And if that didn't work, Mina could blast acid at him. But worst of all, he imagined Bakugou coming into the scene and hitting him so hard he blew up from the inside. He shuddered before shaking his head. "Yeah, you got the point across-"

Midway through agreeing with his fellow classmate, an explosive was heard. All four members of U.A turned to the source and saw a huge hole in the wall, chunks of rock scattered around the floor. Instantly, Aizawa and Todoroki went to evacuate the population of the museum. Meanwhile, Mineta and Izuku took the time to locate the most probable cause of this sudden attack.

The man's skin looked very stressed and tired, as did his wide pitch black eyes. He was wearing a buttonless black polo as well as basic tracksuit sweatpants. His hair was a mess of tangles and bunches, and in his left hand was a machete. He wasn't dangerous himself, so that meant his quirk, whatever it may have been, had to be a leading part here.

After analyzing him, Izuka went to fight the villain and hopefully drive him off. Mineta on the other hand joined some civilians in hiding under a table. He's easily destroying entire walls, for pete's sake. Why would he risk his life to fight a fight he can't win?

"I have to help somehow…" Mineta mumbled, searching around for anything that could help the rest of his crew. In his search, his eyes stumbled on something sticking out of a holster on the villain's side. "Is that a gun?"

From his perspective, Izuku was simply punching and kicking him normally. Most likely trying to figure out what the aggressor's quirk was. Smart. Hopefully he had seen the firearm too.

"Delaware Smash!" Izuku had called out, using two of his fingers to send a powerful shockwave towards the villain. To both he and Mineta's surprises though, It was Deku who was knocked back as soon as the attack had landed.

"Shocking, right?" he said, revealing his voice for the first time. Flashing a maniacal grin, the villain pointed his machete at Deku. "That was my quirk just now. I call it Reversal. I can redirect your attacks at the mere cost of my own body taking double the damage. However, despite how lean I may look, I've trained my body to such a degree that not even One For All could defeat me."

Izuku was taken aback. "You know about One for All?!"

Laughing to himself, the villain put down his machete and brought out his gun, preparing to pull the trigger. "Of course I do, my little brother was good friends with All-Might when they were in U.A, and good friends with that villain Shigaraki when they were in middle school. He knows all about your quirk. But I digress. It was a short scuffle, but I'm afraid your life has to end here. When you arrive in the afterlife, tell my good little brother that Toshinori Yagi became a great hero. He'll love to hear that."

Shit, Mineta had to act fast. He looked for the nearest projectile in the room and found a metal wrench. Rearing his shorts arms as far as they could rear, the short-statured pervert threw the wrench with all his might towards the villain. "C'mon, make it in time!"

Fortunately, the gun was out of ammo. Unfortunately, the wrench was still coming and in his haste, Mineta forgot about the man's quirk. As soon as the wrench hit him, Mineta felt a strong, painful throbbing in his skull. Then, the world faded to empty black.

Mineta awoke in a hospital room, a male nurse filing through papers. When he heard the ruffling of the sheats, the man sighed in relief. "Just in time. Luckily, you didn't receive brain damage from the incident. Everything about your mental status is perfectly normal, so all I have to do is call the school principal, let him know you're coming, and then you're discharged,"

Semi-ignoring him, Mineta looked with a confused look at the calendar. "How long have I been out for, Doc?"

"Nurse." The man corrected him before clearing his throat. "To answer your question, you were out for a week. Don't be disappointed though, because if the wrench hit you anywhere else then when it did, you'd have died."

Finally getting into contact with the U.A principal, the nurse went outside for a moment and shut the door, leaving Mineta to himself. The boy with balls for hair examined the room and found his school attire. After changing, he was about to exit the door when he heard the last bit of the conversation.

"Alright, no problem. I'll get the escort to his room right away!" The doctor had said before hanging up and heading to the visitors lounge.

"So I've been out for a week and someone's going to escort me back to U.A, huh?" He repeated to himself dryly. Then, a look of horror replaced his straight face. "Why am I okay with that?! Who's going to escort me? Are Aizawa-sensei, Midoriya, and Todoroki okay?"

"I don't know, me, and yes…" a voice said, unamused. Mineta especially paid attention to the fact that it was a female voice, and one he recognized.

"Uraraka?!" Mineta gasped as his gravity controlling classmate waltzed into the room with a look of disgust on her features. "What's up with you?"

"Well first of all, I originally came here to visit Deku -he had gotten slashed by the villain, no serious injuries though- but seeing as you were here too, Aizawa-sensei decided that I would be the one to escort you back to U.A," she explained dryly, before shifting to Mineta with a glare. "As for "what's up" with me, I'm currently next to a future sex offender, of course I'd be on edge!"

"Hey! I'm an aspiring hero just like you!" Mineta retorted, quite offended by his peer's comment.

"Yeah, a hero for sex offenders everywhere. Pedos too, because don't think I don't know what you said to that Eri girl," Uraraka said with a scoff. "But for now, I have to bring you back to U.A. Now, I don't want to get expelled for assault on another classmate, so for both my sake and yours, do. Not. Try. ANYTHING!"

Scrambling into a position of attention, Mineta saluted her with a look of fear on his face as the mental image from before the incident was still fresh in his mind. "Yes, sir-ma'am. Yes ma'am, loud and clear!"

"Good."

Exiting the room, the two students walked into the visitors lounge where Izuku was waiting for them, bandage cloths surrounding his right shoulder. "Ah, Uraraka, Mineta."

"Deku! How are you feeling?" Ochako exclaimed in worry as she hurried over to her friend and checked for any other injuries.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, promise," Izuku reassured her. Not convinced, but not wanting to pry any further, she let off of him.

"Alright, that's good. At the very least, Todoroki and Aizawa-sensei weren't hurt too badly," She remarked while pulling out a bouncy ball and fidgeting with it.

"Two faced bitch!" Mineta exclaimed in his thoughts and he cringed at the scene before him. "H-hey guys, shouldn't we be heading back to U.A?"

"Ah, that's right. Also…" Izuku began before walking over to his classmate and outstretching a hand. "Thanks for trying to save me back there,"

Mineta didn't know how to react. Struggling between "Of course!", "Thanks for holding off the villain,", and "Let it stay in the past, my man!", he accepted the hand and blurted out, "Of course! Thanks for letting the villain go, my man!"

That got a few stares indeed, also, a glare from Uraraka and a "but why though" look from Izuku. The three of them quickly evaded the scene as they made their way to the dorms back at Heights Alliance.

When they arrived, Ochako mumbled something about getting Tsuyu, Momo, and Mina for something. Feeling his worst nightmare about to come true, Mineta tried to stop her by apologizing profusely for giving off the vibe of a sex offender. Not his best move, that's for sure.

"Y'know I was going to just let me and the girls handle this, but I think a few 'boom booms' will be necessary, if you know what I mean," she remarked in a threatening tone before cupping her hands against her mouth and calling out,. "Oooh Bakugouuuuuuu, a certain purple haired short-stack was looking down of youuuuuu,"

"OH REALLY NOW, HUH?! WHEN I FIND THAT GRAPE HEAD I'M GOING TO TURN HIS ASS INTO GRAPE JUICE!" Katsuki "Boom Boom Man (courtesy to Eri)" Bakugou roared as he rushed from his dorm into the main lounge, knuckles already cracked.

With a cheerful grin laced with villainous intent, Ochako, as well as Mina, Momo, and Tsuyu, turned to Mineta and all spoke in unison. "Say your prayers."

"HeywaitdoesithelpthatIdidn'tgetaboneroffofanyof you today-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" From outside of the building, all could hear the screams of a boy getting tortured. The witnesses, those of which being Deku, Todoroki, Kaminari, and Jiro all winced in response to the beat down Mineta was getting.

"Do you all now see why I'm scared of Kacchan now?" Izuku asked his fellow witnesses between winces, all of them responding with silent nods. "Oh god, Momo, not the sword!"

Fortunately, Mineta did not implode like in his mental image. Unfortunately, he was now back at the hospital, this time for multiple bruises, burns, and stab wounds... "Y'know, after a beatdown like that, I'm scared of my little Mineta now. Wait, what if I have morning wood while the girls are around. I'll be screwed!" Except this time, his escort was Kirishima.
