In a world of heroes and villains, most people take a black and white view of the world. Heroes are sweet, innocent people who will do anything to save and rescue heroes. Meanwhile, villains are expected to be evil people after money, power, or any other kind of selfish gain. But, these ideals don't fit everyone in either camp, there's many examples of selfish heroes or villains with a heroic goal with negative ways to it.
And nothing displayed the selfish wants than Higashi High School. Just about every student in this school had the dream of being a hero for one reason or another.
One of these students was a small young man, standing at a measly 3'6". But that wasn't the only thing strange about his appearance, for one his hair was made of four large purple balls that swayed and bounced around when he moved. He had pale skin and pure black irises. His appearance, and his face in particular, made him look like a goofy, immature child.
"Hehehe" the young boy giggled as he thoroughly examined a magazine in his hands. The magazine featured all the most popular heroes, including the new up and comers.
But he wasn't focused on their rankings or their 'quirks', i.e their powers, no. He was just looking at all the babe pros!
Wowowowowowowowowow! The Midget gushed as he landed on a page with a pro hero named 'Mt Lady'. She was in the 'Up and Coming' pros and her costume was something that would make him up and coming!
Her costume was a full, skin tight body suit that was primarily white with purple segments separated by orange stripes. She had beautiful long blond hair and a spectacular figure, as well as a small purple mask with long horns sticking out the top.
"Hey Mineta, whatcha looking at?"
He turned his head slightly, doing everything in his power to keep one eye on the page and one on the person asking.
Behind him was a large, rotund boy. He was so round it looked like he was a literal ball. The boy was just as pale as Mineta and had short shaggy blond hair. Like Mineta he was wearing the black school uniform.
"Oh, hey Tamo. Can I help you with something?" He shoved his face back into the magazine.
Tamo just shrugged "Was wondering if you saw that picture of Kami yesterday" a small smirk formed on his face.
Mineta scoffed "Of course I saw that one! She was just in a bikini. How can I not pay attention to that?"
"Too true," he chuckled. "Got any plans for break?"
"Of course I do" he turned and pointed at himself with his thumb "I'm going to be getting UA University ready for when I break their score system!"
Tamo covered his mouth as he snickered "Y-yea, right. I'm sure you've got a good shot at that"
"What are you laughing for, I can do it!" Mineta's confident tone almost immediately turned to whining as he started lightly punching his friend's stomach "Just you wait and see!"
"Come on Minoru, it's the top university for heroes. Barely 2% is even considered!"
Mineta did care as he just continued to whine and splutter his rebuttal.
As he did this people started to stare at the two, though most of them were used to those two being freaks. "Yea, yea, I know you can" he flushed out of embarrassment from their stares. "Just cut it out already"
Mineta finally leaned back "But just you wait, I've got a foolproof plan for getting in. Even you couldn't fail it"
"How considerate" Tamo deadpanned as they finally got to class "Let's just hope today's the day you don't embarrass us then"
"I promise nothing" Mineta grinned.
The Duo sat next to each other near the back right corner of the class. It was still well before class so most of the students were up and about. While most people were just with their friends, all of the girls were standing together near the front of the room. This is what drew Mineta's attention.
He almost immediately started fumming at the sight, making a… disturbing expression. It's every morning, every morning they always go to Bitsu! God I hate him…!
Mineta lowered his head as he gripped his table. While he wasn't a naturally strong guy he's done this so often, parts of his desk were starting to crack from the pressure.
Those girls should be simping after me! What does he have that I don't!?
Tamo just gave him a blank stare "Are you getting jealous again?"
This snapped him out of his jealous rage "Me? No. I'm not jealous of Bitchu" Mineta still spat when he said his name.
"I heard he's also considering UA as an option" Tamo smirked "Maybe you two could stay buddies"
"H-he's… going to UA?" Mineta slowly looked to his friend, before glancing back to the crowd of girls "Why must he ruin everything for me?" he whined, placing his head down on the table.
Tamo pat his back softly "I'm sure you won't get in, so that's something at least"
Mineta let an even louder whine out as the teacher finally came in. He was a very old man with gills on his neck, and since it was the last day he pretty much let the students do as they pleased while trying to stay awake.
"Guess I should've expected the teacher wouldn't bother doing anything today" Tamo mused while getting on his phone, immediately going to look at some photos of the pro-hero Midnight in her skimpy costume.
Mineta, on the other hand, was listening in on the other students talking with each other for most of the period. He was trying to get a good idea of where the girls will be hanging out all summer, but all he really got was their plans for their next level of education.
Almost all of his classmates were loudly talking about how they want to go to hero schools, and that some of them were planning to try for UA so they can stay by Bitsu. Which naturally infuriated him as he slammed his head back down on his desk.
"Ugh, Mineta's being weird again" one of the female students chuckled a few seats ahead of him.
"That's nothing new. I saw that little creep trying to look up Amy's skirt."
"I don't know why he's such a creep. I even heard he was going to try going to UA!" a group of girls started laughing as quietly as they could.
"He thinks he's going to get into UA with some sticky balls?"
"I don't think he thought it out honestly" one tried to slow her giggling "I-I mean he's going to be thrown around like a ragdoll"
Mineta groaned softly as he started vigorously rubbing his head all over as he tried to just ignore their talking but that wasn't working out so well.
"Hey Minoru" a polite voice spoke above him.
Mineta just grunted at his first name being used, but still raised his head. Standing before him was a vision of absolute beauty.
Bitsu!… he frowned.
He had a dark but natural tan, also sporting long black hair and a chiseled chin. Sticking out of his hair was two curved, short horns. Bitsu looked to be in amazing shape and stood at a confident 6'2". "Hey Mineta, I've been hearing you're going to UA as well, maybe the two of us could try training together?"
Not on my fucking life! Mineta smiled and waved his hand "Uh, no thanks. I'll be good"
"You sure? Training with someone else will probably be easier"
"Yes, I'm sure" Mineta stated sternly, forcing a small smile "But good luck"
Bitsu smiled softly "Good luck to you too"
The bell rang at the end of their conversation "Oh good, see you all around" he smiled, waving to his fawning fans as he left the room.
"Those other students don't have a chance with him trying out!"
Mineta just smirked up at the now man-less women "You know… When I get in I'll be more than happy to get you all an autograph from the teachers~"
They just responded with mixes of glares and frowns before walking away from him.
"They'll change their tune when I get into UA…" Mineta continued to smirk smugly, not seeming to mind that response. His voice, however, cracked as he spoke.
Tamo frowned slightly at his friend "You wanna go get something to eat at the maid cafe?"
Mineta grinned as he jumped off his chair "Sure, I hope Secilia is on duty today. She's clearly got the nicest honkers" he drooled as he did a small squeezing motion.
"You're just so hard to feel bad for" His friend laughed before leading him out of the school.
"When I'm a pro they'll all love me! Maybe even then you'll learn that I'm the popular one of our duo"
"I don't know if I'd be able to go on if I found that out"
They walked past the many other students, with Mineta doing his usual thing of glancing up people's skirts.
Eventually they'd leave the school zone, walking past a public park with a rather old playground in the middle.
Many, many years in the past a somehow shorter Mineta was at the playground with a small grin. He came here with a much larger man with a similar hairstyle to him, color and all. At the same time, he didn't look to be in amazing shape.
He had a figure like a couch potato and had a 4 o'clock shadow. His outfit was simply black joggers and a white wife beater.
"Alright Minoru, I'll be here, tell me when you're ready to go" he smiled down at him.
"Yea… ok" the young boy nodded before walking over to a group of other kids. Even now he was clearly smaller than any of the others.
Mineta stood at the edge of the playground, finding they were all already in the middle of what looked like tag, so he chose to just stand around.
"Just get back here!" A little girl cried as she tried to tag a young boy.
"Yea… they're busy" the small boy murmured before turning around to try finding his dad. At the other end of the park he could see his father flirting and hitting on the older women watching their kids
"And so is he…" Mineta murmured.
While he was distracted the girl running around came up to him and tapped the back of his head "You're back no takesies backsies!"
He turned around quickly, not expecting a girl to suddenly touch him as he started blushing.
She just tilted her head slightly "Um… are you ok kid?"
"Yes, yes, of course!" He smiled a bit "I-I just forgot how to play for a moment."
Mineta giggled a bit having a girl touch him before he started running after the other kids. However, the moment they noticed him they climbed onto the jungle gym.
"Good luck getting us up here shortie" they taunted.
He just grinned before starting to climb up the gym, using his grapes to make the climb easier "It won't be that hard"
They stared at him for a moment "Is… that your quirk?"
Mineta looked back at them "Um, yes?"
The other boys almost immediately started giggling in response as one sprouted wings and flew well out of his reach, another camouflage with his background, and the last just stood there waiting for him.
Eventually Minoru reached him and extended his hand to try tagging the boy, but before he could even move his hand the boy was standing well and away by the slide.
"Hey, that's not fair!" the short boy whined.
"Hey it's not our fault your quirk sucks" the flying one laughed.
Mineta just frowned, not giving up as he continued to try his hardest to capture them. He tried to jump after the flying one but with his small height that was never going to happen. After that he tried grabbing the speed and camo boys but they easily evaded him.
"Come on, try a little harder" the boys started laughing a bit "I'm sure your quirk can do something"
The short child whimpered as he tried to dive at the camouflage boy, who was now standing in front of a slide. The boy, however, dodged right out of his way when he dove, causing Mineta to go tumbling down the slide as they laughed.
"Guys, come on, quirks make this game so unfair" the girl was standing on the sideline with an annoyed frown.
"Fine, fine" the winged one hid them back under his shirt "He should still be pretty easy to avoid"
"He's as tall as my leg" one of the kids chuckled "I can't imagine it'd be hard"
At the bottom of the slide Mineta was just groaning weakly, rolling onto the hard ground. "Are you ok?" the girl frowned as she walked over to him.
"Just fine…" he grunted, not moving too much.
She was about to say something before they heard some commotion coming from across the street. "Woah, no way!" one of the boys gasped before they all started leaving the park, before long Mineta could hear many of the other people around going in that direction at the same time.
By the time he finally pulled himself up he could see a large crowd of people surrounding someone in an old fashioned black tuxedo. In his right hand the man was holding a large scythe and in his left he was holding… his head.
"Oh, it's one of those heroes" Mineta murmured, frowning at everyone, even those kids throwing themselves at the figure.
While he was distracted, his father slowly walked back over to him "Man, women are always so excited by heroes. Leaves nothing for the rest of us"
Minoru looked up to his father "Yea, they seem pretty cool"
"Hopefully not cooler than your old man" he chuckled helping him up "Have enough fun for today?"
The short boy just nodded slowly, still focusing on the hero as his father dragged him back to their car.
"Hey… dad?" Mineta looked up to his father, who smiled back down at him.
"Do you think I could, um, be a hero maybe?"
His father tapped his chin, thinking for a moment, before a grin krept onto his face "I don't see why you couldn't. You might even be a bigger ladies man than your old man then"
He laughed to himself, smiling even wider at Minoru's excited expression.
It was now later in Mineta's last day of high school, and was now just walking back to his home. It wasn't anything special, just a small apartment building on the rougher part of town. After a few flights of stairs he arrived at his home near the very top.
"I'm home" Minoru called as he walked inside. In the main room, his dad was cooking something in the kitchen. His younger brother was just on the couch, watching tv to distract him while their dad was working.
"Ah, welcome back. How did your last day go?" his father, Warai Mineta, whistled as he worked.
"It went ok" he shrugged "Bout as normal as it always is"
Minoru walked over to his little brother and sat down next to him, ruffling his purple sphere hair "Still planning for that hero business?" Warai asked.
He slowly nodded "UA's entrance exam is near the end of the break so not much to do at the moment"
"Well, we could always go and workout together" his father smirked, doing a small flexing motion.
Minoru tapped his chin, thinking for a moment "That could be a good idea…" a perverse grin quickly formed on his face "Plenty of big ladies are working out all the time I'm sure"
"That's the spirit!" his father smirked, "Supper's up boys!"
He turned around, handing both of them a small container of rice. "Big meal tonight" Minoru joked as his father sat down between them.
"And a big show at that" Warai snickered as he changed the channel, landing on a channel with two beautiful women mud wrestling.
"I forgot this was on today!" the student immediately sat up in his seat, smiling with a massive… creepy smile. Neither Mineta seemed to care too much that the young boy was watching it with them.
Eventually they would finish their meals and just set the containers in the sink to bother with another day. After the show was over Mineta simply went to his room.
The room was surprisingly tame for a room with Minoru inside. It was small, just like him, only really having room for a computer and its desk, his small bed with a yellow blanket, and a bookshelf.
"That was a long day" he mused before sitting down at his desk with an excited smile "Let's see what I missed"
Mineta cracked his knuckles before tapping away on his keyboard like it was second nature to him. He clicked enter, finding many videos of pros like Mt Lady at work, as well as one of UA's best known babes.
This video featured a woman with long blue hair and a wonderful figure with some of the biggest bobbies and ass Mineta had ever seen! It even challenges the real pros!
He was drooling, giggling like a drunkard as she flew around in the air. Which naturally caused her assets to bounce around with her.
"If my class is half as hot as her I'll give it a win…" this is how he spent his entire night before going to bed.
The very next day, the first of his break, he did the exact same thing all day long. Then he did it the bery next day, and then the day after that.
After some time, he'd spent the mass majority of his break just on the computer. Now he just had a week to prepare for the entrance exam.
"This break… has been amazing" Mineta grinned as he rubbed the crust out of his eyes.
He'd seen just about every female pro hero in any kind of attire. But at the same time he didn't study for the written or physical exam in any way, shape, or form.
"Minoru! Can you come out here?"
This caught his attention as he scrambled and tripped over himself as he ran to their living room "y-yes?"
Warai just stared at him from their couch, bouncing Minoru's younger brother in his lap "How has your training been going? I heard there's a physical and mental segment to their exam"
"Oh, yea, it's going great" Mineta rolled up his sleeve and flexed his bicep, not really showing any results.
"Uhu. Well, since you're so ahead, do you want to go see some of your competition for the exam?"
"There's a place to see them all?" he tapped his chin "Sure, I wouldn't mind getting to see my potential classmates early"
His father remained seated before giving him a crisp 2 thousand yen and a note with an adress "That should be enough for you to use the place for the rest of the week"
"A-are you sure" Mineta looked down at the yen "This seems like a lot"
"Of course I'm sure! You've wanted to do this since you were a kid. Besides, I would've just wasted it at the club anyhow. I'd also be careful about coming home too late, been hearing news about crime rates going up"
"Thank you" Mineta bowed "I promise I'll try to keep the leering down to just half the time I'm there and not get into trouble!"
"That's all I can ask of a man" Warai smirked "Now go and show those girls what's up!"
The short boy ran from the room, using the slip of paper to try leading his way. After some time, he made it to the center of the city, finding a large gym that stretched rather tall and wide. There were a few windows where he could see men and women of different sizes using their quirks against dummies.
"This place is even nicer than I expected" Mineta mused while walking inside, going up to the front counter where a woman was working.
"Can I help you, kid?" she asked politely.
He just placed his yen on the table "Besides getting a night with you I'm just here for a week of training"
The woman managed to hide her small frown well as she sat up to look down at him "On the second level there's a few open rooms. What might your quirk be?"
"Oh, right" Mineta grabbed one of his purple balls before placing it onto the front desk, letting go while his ball stayed attached "My balls stick to anything they touch, but they just bounce off of me"
To demonstrate, he started repeatedly poking the ball without getting stuck.
"I see…" the woman smiled awkwardly "May I ask what you're using this training for?"
"Yea, I'm planning to try out for UA"
Her expression only became more awkward "A-are you sure you… want to spend your time and money on this sir?"
"Look, unless you're offering me a better time I just want a room miss"
She glared but didn't say anything as she led him to one of the rooms on the second floor.
On the way he could see into multiple other rooms. Naturally a decent few rooms were of people punching strong dummies, one was all about long distance speed, and another one appeared to be about stealth and perception
Near the end of the hall the woman walked into a room that was rather tall and not all too spacious. There were slits just about everywhere on the walls.
"Here's the room that will best fit you" she explained "simply put, it's the best for aiming at potential targets that can come from any which way"
"That sounds really useful…" Mineta murmured, though he wasn't actually listening to what she was saying. He was just trying to be as subtle as he can while trying to look up her skirt.
The woman turned around, seeing exactly this "And I will make one last thing perfectly clear. Do not bother the other people here or else we will have the right to revoke your membership.
"Y-yes ma'am" he stood up straight, now only glancing now and then at her cleavage.
All she could do was sigh as she walked out of the room "We clost at 9, so try to keep an eye on the time…"
Mineta stared as she left before looking at the room around him "This is a lot more advanced than I would've bet on…"
He turned back around, finding the red button next to the door. A sign before the door lit up, saying "IN USE"
"Let's see how this goes" Mineta grinned, grabbing his balls while turning around. Almost immediately two pieces of cardboard with prison getups appeared from slits not too far off the ground.
He threw his grapes as fast and hard as he could, actually managing to hit both of them at once before they disappeared again.
"Huh, this isn't as bad as I was expecting" he smirked, popping off three more of his balls as he got ready. From then on the targets started speeding up faster and faster, to the point that Mineta was pulling ball after ball.
I'm going to die in here! Mineta internally shrieked as he tried to not drop to his knees. He looked like he was being overly dramatic, until blood started trickling onto the floor.
He dropped onto his hands and knees with a weak grunt. Pulling one last grape from his head to try throwing it at the last target, which wasn't wearing prison clothes. It looked like it was dressed as an old lady.
He did manage to hit her with his grape, but clearly that was the wrong choice as the alarm blared at that. Mineta sat there for a moment, sighing in relief when nothing else popped out.
"I'm free…!" he cried in joy, leaning back on his knees and arching his back "Thank god!"
It took him a few moments but he could get back onto his feet and walked out of the training room. I'm not going to survive a week of this kind of training…
The blood was still pouring down his head as he looked around. There were a lot of people around, and just about all of them were staring in shock and fear.
"W-what happened to him?" "I-Is he ok?" "I think I'm going to pass out!"
Mineta didn't pay them any mind as he found a restroom "Oh good, I feel disgusting" he smiled while walking inside.
To his dismay, only other guys were in this restroom. Stupid bathrooms, why can't they all just be for one sex…
He walked to the sink and used the water to try washing the blood off his face and head. "Hey, are you ok kid?"
"Yea, I'm fine. Just how the quirk gets" Mineta shrugged, wrincing his face further before turning to see who spoke to him.
The other man was much taller and leaner than he was. His hair was black and jagged all over, reaching his neck in the back. Overall he looked rather plain and ordinary, save for his elbows that looked like cylinder tape dispensers.
"That's a pretty bad downside" he smiled a bit "But I could always try helping with it"
"What, does your quirk make people immune to bleeding?"
He laughed a bit "Nah, nothing like that. My quirk's way simpler"
Instead of answering what it was, the tall boy pulled tape out of his elbow before applying it to his head "It's not too strong though, kinda went through a lot of tape today"
"Oh hey, we have pretty similar powers" Mineta mused "Your tape would be perfect for… trapping people"
"Yea, kinda all it's good at" he joked.
"Oh, right, I'm Mineta" he extended his hand up to the other kid.
"I'm Sero, nice to meet you Mineta" Sero grinned as he shook hands with him "Whatcha doing here by the way? I don't think I've seen you here for most of the summer"
Mineta shrugged "Dad thought I should go and train before trying to enter UA. Considering I feel like death… was maybe a good idea"
Sero blinked a few times before smiling and giving a thumbs up "Oh, I'm planning on trying out for UA too. Well, hopefully the two of us do pretty well"
"I hope we get in. But I'm more excited to see all the babes that will be around us all year long!" the shortie finally went full pervert as he smiled from ear to ear.
"Yea, I'm pretty excited for-" he stopped halfway through before slouching to look more directly at him "I don't think that should be your first goal for getting into UA. Maybe third, yea, that sounds more fair"
"Oh come on Sero, you and I both know hero schools always have the ultimate babes just walking around! We should totally scope out the area on our first day!'
The expression on the taller boy just read as regret as he took a step back "Yea, well, maybe we can do that…"
"Now we're talking! Have you heard about the Big 3 girl Nejire? She gets super curious about first year hero course students. What if she tries finding out about my balls!?"
Sero chuckled a little before throwing his thumb over his shoulder "Yea, hey, I should probably get going Mineta. But hopefully we'll meet up during the entrance exam or something!"
Even as he spoke he was already moving half-way through the door.
"Oh yea, sure, see you in class" Mineta smirked, shooting him finger pistols before Sero fully ditched him.
Now all alone, the midget simply made his way out of the room and leaned against one of the walls. Now that he wasn't bleeding he could actually pay attention to the girls, who were all coming near him.
"Hey, are you ok? That was lot of blood"
"Yea, I'm surprised you're still standing!"
"How'd that even happen?"
Mineta smirked "Ladies, ladies. It was really nothing. I was just working my quirk so hard because I just… want so desperately to be a hero that I went overboard I guess"
"Well, you should try being a little bit more careful then"
"Well, maybe next time I'm training I can work with some of you girls. I'm more versatile than you'd think" he rubbed his knuckle on his chest.
They all looked at each other before shaking their heads "Sorry, I don't think our quirks would train really well together"
"You don't even know mine" Mineta deadpanned, frowning as the girls slowly backed away from him.
"We just want to do it alone… can't work together in the exams, you know how it is" they finally answered.
He didn't seem to take their silence to heart as they turned around. The moment they turned around he started grinning like a drunken fool. They were all wearing yoga pants, giving Mineta a perfect view of their asses as they walked away from him.
"The gym will be closing in ten minutes, grab all of your equipment or clothing and be ready to leave soon" a voice announced over them.
I guess I should probably start heading home now… Mineta peeled the edge of the tape, trying to pull it off before whimpering a bit "I-I'll bother about that later"
Since he didn't bring anything he just made his way through the exit with many other people in a large crowd. There were so many people he could easily try peeking up skirts without too many people managing to notice him, though he noticed the other boy frowning at him.
Mineta walked away from most of the others as he made his way back home. Further behind, Sero was seemingly walking in the same direction.
It was dark out now, with the only lights being the moon and the lamp posts. Jeez, I didn't even know I spent that much time down there.
He yawned softly, turning around "Do you live around here?"
Sero nodded "Yea, I'm with my mom for the summer since she lives closer to UA"
Mineta smirked "Is she a M-"
"Please don't finish that" he stated dryly.
before the little perv could make another comment they heard clattering further down the street. Mineta could feel all the life leave his face as he crouched on the ground, hoping he would be even easier to ignore that way.
"What are you doing now?"
"I'm being careful" Mineta hissed "You never know what kind of crime is out there"
Sero put his hands on his waist, smiling tauntingly "I don't think I know any heroes who are scared by noises in the dark"
"I'm not scared!" Mineta whined "I'm so not scared I'll continue to lead us!"
"Please, have at it" he chuckled while gesturing ahead.
The little midget continued to trudge forward, trying to keep his confidence up when they heard someone cry out for help.
Mineta whimpered as he looked straight ahead
Down the street, he could see a woman being held by her arm at the entrance of an alleyway. He didn't see anything involving a weapon but with quirks that hardly mattered.
"Oh jeez" Sero crouched down next to Mineta to not be noticed "We might need to go call for help. If we're fast enough a pro might come before anything happens"
The other student didn't pay any mind to what he was saying. Instead, he was focusing on exactly what you would expect him to focus on.
He could tell the woman was wearing an elegant red dress and had long, straight black hair that went down to her shoulders. Most important of all was that she was absolutely stacked. As she tried pulling away from her attacker, her globes would bounce freely around.
"Milf b-boobies…" Mineta murmured, tearing his shoes and socks off before grabbing some grapes from his head.
Sero blinked a few times before trying to grab him "Mineta, now's not the kind of time where you need to think with your dick"
His note fell on deaf ears. The midget threw the two grapes on the ground before using them to bounce like a bullet towards the lady. He sprouted two more grapes from his head to place on the ground to give himself an additional boost.
Neither the woman nor the assailant could react when Mineta flew right into the lady, head going right between her mountains. He had enough force to send the lady and him flying well out of the man's grasp.
"You're ok now!" his voice muffled. He slowly moved his body around, using himself to cushion the fall of the bigger lady.
She just looked shocked down at him "wha- where did you come from?"
"Hey get back here!" the one that had been holding her suddenly emerged from the alleyway. He looked like a very stereotypical punk, wearing all black leather with chains and a dark green spiked mohawk.
The older woman stared back at the man with pure fear as she stood up, running away as fast as she could in her dress, looking back and frowning apologetically to him.
"Hey, wait!" Mineta whined, extending his hand to have her come back.
"You little bastard, that was my one chance to steal from her!" he growled, lowering his head as his many spiked parts of his mohawk fired at him to potentially pierce him.
Before the strikes could pierce the small boy, the villain was suddenly flung back by a string of tape. His spikes flew into the nearby buildings, getting stuck in the hard cement.
"Hey, what the hell!?" he groaned, trying to wiggle his spikes from the cement.
Mineta looked past the man to see Sero with a rather nervous expression. Sero shot out a few more streams of tape to tie the criminal to the ground.
"Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Mineta cried tears of joy as he got back on his knees "I was so sure I was going to die, I almost pissed myself!"
"Dude, that's way more than I ever wanted to hear" he deadpanned back, moving past the man as his mohawk receded back to his head.
"And you need to be careful, we're not even in the hero course yet. You could go to jail for using your quirk in the open like that" Sero chastised.
The midget frowned slightly "A beautiful woman was in danger and you expected me to just not save her? Even if I died it was worth it, getting to hold her in my hands!"
"I was about to give you props for just trying to save someone but you really know how to ruin the moment"
Mineta just shrugged with an amused grin. However, his amusement quickly ended when the two of them heard a ripping sound.
The two boys turned, finding the punk's sharp mohawk was being used to cut through Sero's tape "Ok… now I'm annoyed. But good thing I still have two punching bags!"
"O-oh god" the midget turned pale "I-I'm going to die without getting Mt Lady to sit on me!" he cried.
"You're just always on" Sero deadpanned before turning to the man "There's really no need to fight us anything man" he smiled, moving his arms behind his back.
He just shook his head "No, I think it's totally fair. Maybe if I hold you two hostage She'll feel bad and pay your hostage price"
The tall boy shook his head with a slightly cocky grinn "Well jeez, that's just too bad to hear, honestly"
"Sure is" before the man could attack them, Sero shot two strings of tape from his elbows again. One of them attached to a lamppost a good ways away, while the other attached to the crying Mineta.
"Well, if that's how it has to be, see ya" he grinned, waving tauntingly before reeling the tape back, sending him flying toward the lamppost.
At the same time Mineta was dragged right behind him, starting to smile again as they started making their way out.
"Oh I'm so glad we met!" the midget now started crying tears of joy.
"You're not out of this yet!" the man taunted, running after them while lowering his head to continue trying to impale them with his hair.
"Ah, faster, faster!" Mineta started panicking, flailing around as he started throwing his grapes at the man as fast as possible.
The man was shocked when one of the balls managed to hit the top of his mohawk "What the hell?"
He continued to run before reaching up to try pulling the grape out of his hair, only getting another one of his hands stuck in it.
"What is this stupid shit!?" he whined, taking another step that landed directly on top of a grape. Without even knowing what was happening he slammed face first onto the ground, landing on two more grapes.
"That'll show you, bastard!" Mineta waved his fist before Sero and him came to a stop at the lamppost.
The tape-dispenser smiled a bit "Hey, you actually caught him, way to go!"
The midget smirked, rubbing the back of his neck "Oh, it really isn't anything… and I actually mean that" he got a bit serious "I used a ton of grapes today, so… he's probably not going to stay stuck there for all too long"
Sero's eyes widened slightly "Well, thanks for sharing that before he got back up" Sero smiled, removing the tape from his elbows before sprinting off with his new 'friend'.
"I… think we're safe now" Mineta was on his knees, panting and spluttering "That was too much running…"
"At least it didn't end up too bad" the taller boy smiled, clearly not nearly as tired as him "But my mom's apartment is to the right, so try to not get yourself into too much trouble now, alright?"
Mineta just laughed at the very idea of that request "If anything I'll be hiding in my room for the whole week"
Sero chuckled slightly "I guess that's fair. See you at the entrance exam" he waved while walking off.
"Oh, yea, see ya!" the shortie quickly waved back at him.
As the other boy walked away he glanced over his shoulder to Mineta and smiled a little "I don't see him having any chance of passing the exams. But he's a good guy… ignoring his… vigor" he scratched his cheek, thinking about the hypothetical of having to constantly babysit him.
Mineta, meanwhile, just went back up to his apartment. In the main room his father was just watching the news, feeding his younger brother.
"Oh, hey champ! How'd your first day of training go"
"I'm… absolutely exhausted" he admitted, moving to sit next to them before collapsing.
Warai grinned "That's the spirit bud, meet any hot girls yet?"
"Some girls were worrying about my blood" Mineta simply gestured to the bandages on his head.
"That's a good way to get some attention" his father smirked "I remember I met junior's mother after I was sent to the hospital with a lot of bleeding"
"Oh yea… I remember that night" the shortie murmured with a small frown.
As they spoke, the news suddenly reported some 'breaking news' "This just in, Japanese financier Yami Yaoyorozu was almost robbed in the city of Hamamatsu in the Shizuoka prefecture."
An image appeared of the woman Minoru helped rescue, shocking him from head to toe. I-I saved a RICH MILF? Totally worth it!
"She states two boys around highschool age came to her rescue, distracting the villain as she escaped. The thug and the civilians have been unidentified as of now, but we will keep you all posted."
"Dang, that's pretty crazy huh?" his father grinned while staring at the woman's picture "Wouldn't have mind saving her myself"
"Y-yea" he chuckled nervously.
"What we do know at the moment, is that the delinquent was in all black and had a mohawk. The first boy, the one who jumped forward to save her, had purple balls on her head. While the second boy would be much taller with large elbows."
Minoru silently glanced away from his father, knowing he was full well staring at the back of his head "I-I should probably get going to bed now"
"You sure you have nothing to… share or say perhaps?"
"I-I think I'm good" he chuckled nervously before getting up.
His father remained silent for a moment "Ok, see you tomorrow buddy"
"Thanks" Mineta smiled a little as he got up.
"And by the way, whoever took down that villain, I think they have an amazing shot at getting into UA. Just a guess"
He lit up with a proud smile "Yea, I'm sure he has a good shot too!"
Warai and Minoru smiled to each other before Minoru actually went to his room. The instant he saw his bed he just collapsed on top of it.
"I didn't think being a hero would be so stressful…"
As he laid there, he slowly raised his head to a poster of Midnight smirking flirtaciously at him. "B-but maybe I can put up with the stress… for a time"
"Yea, yea I can put up with this!" Minour more confident sat up on his bed "I mean, I just fought a villain. We don't actually do that until our second year at least! I-I won't have to worry about dying or anything… all I'll really need to worry about is keeping all the girls away!"
Now that he psyched himself back up, he returned to being confident about his chances of being a hero while getting into bed. That lady might even give me a shoutout for the entrance exam. That's gotta be worth some points. And if she doesn't…
He slowly licked his lips, I'm sure she'd be happy to repay me in another way…
AN: And here's my first work on My Hero in a good while. I've always enjoyed Mineta, since perv characters are always great. Naturally, the gimmick is just if Mineta was the protagonist of My Hero instead of Deku, which probably isn't the grandest gimmick but I hope people are intrigued. As well as that, if people were to want so, I am also open for writing commissions, just message me in the PM if you are interested.
