A/n: Heya readers, PsychoJack here with another chapter of Mineta the Mayhem. It seems our growing hero has avoided long term expulsion. What will happen next is anybodies' guess! Onwards to the tale!
--Class 1A Sparring Practice Room--
Mineta had finally made it to class. Sparring day had not finished as it was now a little in the afternoon, however Mineta was clearly beyond late. He sped all the way here, and was in no condition to fight anymore than what he had already done earlier, but he wanted to come to class. To see his friends, to see the girls, and of course Momo.
He wasn't one to deny he still wasn't sure as to his heart involving Momo, but he felt confident in himself as a hero. Today's fight was one he did alone, and he had to admit he felt proud of his accomplishment. He prevented a student's expulsion, and was able to repair the damages of his fight. He even learned how to utilize his quirk more, and that's a plus if ever there was one.
Mineta opened the door leading into class 1A's personalized sparring room. Here was where the students of 1A would initiate team practices, on field strategies and carry out the rigorous exercises needed to grow their quirk beyond their limits.
It would seem that solo quirk exercise was over as he could already see people being assigned in groups of two for actual sparring rounds.
The sparring room was big enough for people to fight in without interfering with one another's practice. It was designed to appear like a misaligned rocky terrain so that those in combat could experience the jagged unpredictability of one's environment when in combat. With Aizawa in the room observing and guiding them as well, even should one sparring team's fight get carried near another team's sparring, his quirk would maintain order within these walls.
Mineta also couldn't help but notice All Might being here, also inputting his own guidance on quirk usage during combat. Right now he was monitoring Midoriya and Bakugo, observing the destruction of their sparring as Bakugo's impatience and hot headed fighting style destroyed plenty of rocks.
Before Mineta could look elsewhere he was already met with the strict gaze of Aizawa, who practically teleported out of nowhere behind him.
"Mineta…you're late for class…" Aizawa said ominously. Mineta sweatdropped at his focused attention on him, practically daring the purple boy to say anything out of line.
"Y-yes, sorry Mr. Aizawa! I was um…with…"
"Never mind, Nezu already told me you were with him earlier. Something about a guidance session with a 1C student. Seems you're just in time to join us. Your partner will be Kirishima for the day." Aizawa said lazily. The ominous aura from earlier practically dissipated.
Mineta gulped. He's definitely gonna get his butt kicked.
Aizawa noticed Mineta's bleeding scalp.
"What exactly were you doing earlier when you were late?" Aizawa questioned his obviously vulnerable student.
"Just…correcting a mistake I made." Mineta said.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow, a bit skeptical as to what Mineta was trying to say.
"If you think you still can do it, then I'll let you through, but if I start noticing more bleeding I'll have to stop the spar, understand?" Aizawa explained, ending the discussion before turning around and heading to Mineta's assigned ring.
Mineta looked upwards at his spheres. They were bleeding a tad, which to him means he has at least 3 spheres he can throw before he starts experiencing intense pain and headaches. Any more than that and he could do some more egregious damage, including unconsciousness. He never had a severe problem but over the years this was the limit of his quirk that he had come to know.
Mineta saw Mina currently sparring with Sero, the poor guy suffering constant pressure as his tape only served to be target practice for her acid. In another ring, he observed Todoroki with Tokoyami, surprisingly the fight was a treasure to witness in action. Tokoyami was more on the defensive, as Todoroki was currently mounting an offense of ice.
Mineta walked over to the spar ring. Kirishima was already there, ready and revved up for action. The hot headed young teen cracked his shoulders and knuckles as he readied for his fight.
"Mineta! Come on down let's see what you got!" Kirishima stated when he saw Mineta. There was no malice in his voice, just a good sport looking for a good spar.
Mineta looked over at Bakugo for a second, noticing him chasing poor Tooru with an endless bombardment laughing maniacally as he chased her through smoke and debris. He was only able to tell where the transparent girl was because of her gloves and her voice squealing.
"Bakugo! Lay off the explosions! I'm done already!" The invisible girl panicked while running.
Mineta looked back towards the other rings. A lone explosion could be heard, signifying Tooru's demise. He saw Kaminari currently taking on Aoyama, or at least he would if his mind was in the game. Kaminari had once again short circuited again whilst Aoyama blasted his nearby position. He literally saw All Might run in the field quickly to pick up Kaminari and run.
"Have no fear, I am he-OOOFF!" The legendary but retired hero proclaimed before accidentally getting hit. Aoyama stopped nervously fidgeting as he had unintentionally blasted the legend himself.
"All-Might!" He could be heard panicking.
All Might got up, he was okay but covered in dust and tattered clothes. He began lecturing Aoyama about stopping when he called a fight. Denki in his mentally vulnerable state had walked literally right into Bakugo's ring, thus signifying his end whilst All Might was distracted.
Mineta finally saw Momo, who at the moment was distracted with Tsuyu. Momo was originally dodging Tsuyu's tongue before creating a human sized net and literally scooping Tsuyu with it.
"How original *ribbet*" Tsuyu sulked, knowing her loss was due to a literal frog gimmick. A sweatdrop could be seen on her head.
Mineta blushed as he observed Momo aiding Tsuyu out of the net, liking her flair and very adaptable fighting style. Her quirk had a lot of variety, and renders her a potential jack of all trades when placed within a group setting. Whether placed on the frontline, the back or even protecting flanks, there's a lot she could do with a little training.
Their eyes met for a bit. Momo immediately blushing upon seeing Mineta. The lovestruck hero was practically helpless from her gaze, dumbly waving at her as he quakes in his boots.
Momo smiled, and waved back with an open mouthed smile, before Jirou tied her up with her Earphone Jack quirk as it was her turn to spar with Momo.
Mineta sweatdropped, deciding to leave her alone as he didn't want to distract her.
Kirishima could be heard. "Mineta, where the hell are you going!? I'm over here!"
Mineta realized he was on the opposite side of where Kirishima was in his love induced delirium, sprinting all the way back out of embarrassment.
Kirishima cracked his knuckles.
"Hey you seem out of it there Mineta, what's the matter? Overslept?" Kirishima asked, concerned about his classmate.
Mineta shook his head, reddened by his embarrassment.
Kirishima looked towards Momo and Jirou.
"Oooohhhh, I see, it's cool bro but keep it in the game! I'm not going easy on ya!" The red dressed hero warned Mineta.
Mineta gulped, as fighting Kirishima was a mixed bag. The thing about his intended opponent was that Kirishima fought like a wild bull. He hits hard and charges in without letting you breathe. Like a wrecking ball it was very hard to contain him and even more so hurting him with that thick layered hard skin of his. Mix that in with his transformation and those already high qualities become multiplied. With his scalp already bleeding a bit, his limit would definitely be a factor in this nearly hopeless spar. Mineta would fight anyway as this was normal for heroes, fighting whilst exhausted or weakened.
'Okay Mineta, you got this! Three spheres, just three spheres! Win or lose, that's my limit! Time to make them count!' Mineta couched himself, hyping himself as best he could.
"Okay Kirishima! I'm ….I'm ready!" Mineta nervously announced. His shaking legs are a clear indicator of his current mental state.
Kirishima on the other hand did not notice that particular body language. He grinned and hardened as he was ready for his charge.
"Alright! Show me what you got Mineta! Here I come!" Kirishima declared before charging with his quirk activated.
'Crap what was I thinking!? Thinking I could take on Kirishima is already crazy enough but without my spheres there's no way for me to counterattack! Who the hell am I kidding? I'm screwed both ways!' Mineta was hyperventilating.
That's when it hit him.
His spheres! He could turn them to his sticky jam. He didn't need a lot of spheres for this fight! What he needed was a good plan!
Kirishima reached Mineta and bulldozed a few rocks in his chase. Using his small stature, Mineta ran and dodged all his strikes, narrowly avoiding his big fists with his smaller but more mobile form.
Debris splayed everywhere as he ran away, right now focusing on surviving a few more strikes before making a move.
Kirishima taunted. "C'mon Mineta! I thought we had a spar going on, don't tell me you're quitting now!"
Mineta then sped away, putting some distance between himself and the walking bulldozer that was Kirishima. Grabbing a sphere from his head holding it in front of him before commanding it.
'Let's do it!'
He crushed the gelatinous sphere, as it literally melted and bent to his whim.
Kirishima's eyes widened, never seeing Mineta crush his sphere before. He immediately tried to stop but with his weight and hard density body, he could only skid into Mineta.
Mineta splashed his liquidated sphere all over Kirishima with a flick of his wrist, all the slime like jelly wrapping around Kirishima.
SPECIAL MOVE: GRAPE JAM!
Mineta still had a grip over his jam like a rope. Kirshima was tied up head to toe, left helpless and struggling to break out.
Mineta then placed a regular sphere behind him and bounced on it, enabling the pint sized purplette to soar high with intensive velocity.
Kirishima, due to the high velocity, was pulled along Mineta's jam rope.
Mineta didn't think he would get this far! He then thought of something crazy! He immediately tossed his last and final sphere on the floor away from him, controlling it to explode as a small hill of voluminous jam.
Mineta grabbed the jam rope with two hands and spun midair. Kirishima now flailed in the air as he was already ensnared in jam from the waist up!
Mineta continued spinning, cycloning Kirishima and landing on his ball to bounce again, the velocity causing Mineta to speed further in his midair spin.
Other students in the class observed the fight. Seeing Mineta taking on Kirishima was impressive. Usually Mineta would lose against Kirishima as his spheres alone wouldn't stick enough to hold such a high density hero unless he overused his quirk to do so. Here it would seem he had a good hold and means of sustaining Kirishima, using the red hero's own momentum and weight against him!
Aizawa observed the spar. He couldn't help but notice the change in Mineta's quirk.
"Impressive…"
Momo couldn't help but notice herself. "Mineta…"
Bakugo could be heard with his own input.
"Do it! Kill him!" His eyes were completely white with battle fury. He then turned back to attacking a distracted Ojiro who squealed before his own demise.
Others looked at Bakugo like he was crazy!
Mineta sweatdropped. He finally had Kirishima at a high enough speed spinning in his grape. Mineta then somersaults with Kirishima's weight shifting in just the right angle.
Like a sledgehammer he landed him hard…
Safely on the hill of jam beneath him.
The jam hill he made gushed outward like a splash! Mineta could be seen midair both hands down where he aimed at Kirishima.
*SPECIAL MOVE: JAM DROP!*
Kirishima was headfirst stuck to it much akin to a fly on flypaper. He could only wiggle his feet in retaliation. Without momentum or any form of grip, he was completely subdued.
Mineta landed on Kirishima's buttocks, avoiding the jam himself before jumping away from his sparring partner before gazing at his handiwork.
Mineta was gasping for breath as the weight alone was killing his muscles. He was also a little woozy from spinning so much and landed on his toosh.
Other students stared gobsmacked before letting out breaths they held. They cheered a bit for Mineta's impressive display and use of his quirk. They were a little afraid of the worst that could happen considering Bakugo's earlier input. That and the speed alone could have put Kirishima in the nurse wing.
Mineta had won without actually hurting Kirishima, which considering his nearly unstoppable momentous based quirk was a feat in itself. Mineta stopped Red Riot!
Mineta wobbly stood up and controlled his jam again.
'Let go!' Mineta thought as Kirishima was finally able to escape and gasp for breath.
Kirishima scraped off the once sticky substance, getting his air back!
"Woah Mineta that was crazy! I thought I was a goner that last second! Since when did you learn to do that?" Kirishima complimented Mineta, showing good sportsmanship. He himself was impressed.
Mineta smiled at the praise. "Believe it or not! This morning *chuckles*!"
"Well whatever happened this morning, I should've been there to see it!" Kirishima acknowledged Mineta's growth.
Mineta sweatdropped. 'No, it's a damn good thing you weren't there to see everything!'!
Kirishima took a look at his small friends' scalp.
"Hey Mineta! You're scalps bleeding! I think you're way above your limit. Why don't you take a break? Wouldn't want you to die of blood loss now do we?" Kirishima grinned jokingly.
Mineta staggered a bit before practically fainting.
"Mineta! You alright?" Kirishima called out to his friend in worry.
Iida came in full blast.
"It's okay! He's just exhausted. Probably used his quirk too much, I'll take him to the nurse!" He scooped up Mineta before sprinting fast outside the spar room.
Aizawa was napping during this. To him it was another day of class so injuries are quite normal.
Momo was sure Mineta was alright. She was going to visit him regardless.
"Hey Momo where are you going?" Mina called out. Ready for her own spar.
"Oh um, I'm going to see Mineta! Considering his state, as class representative I wish to ensure his well-being."
Mina smiled at Momo's friendly nature. "After the little guy's perverted stunt yesterday, I'm just amazed you're even willing to show concern. Couldn't help but notice, you seem different this morning Momo! Almost like you're glowing!" Mina complimented, her heart throbbing grin in place.
Momo's heart hammered within her chest. Considering last night, her body practically engraved the experience on her mind. As for glowing well, it would seem that little detail was probably because of how good it felt.
She felt herself growing moist. Ever since last night, anytime her thoughts lingered on the small purple pariah, she couldn't help her body's reaction. It was like an automatic reaction.
"Momo you're red like a tomato! *Gasp* don't tell me! You're thinking about someone!" Mina teased.
"No I'm…just thinking about something silly is all!" Momo nervously denied.
Mina didn't look like she believed Momo but relented. "Well whatever it is, I wish I was there to see it! It's not everyday that the class rep gets so flustered!" Mina shrugged.
'No, it's a good thing you were not there to see it!' Momo wanted to say it out loud but didn't wish to call more attention to herself. She would visit Mineta later.
"Just feeling a little exhausted is all! No worries! I'm going to go take a shower now. I'll see you and the girls later?" Momo asked Mina, smiling with eyes closed.
Mina raised her hands in a shrugging motion.
"If you have to, I already took mine, so I'll smell you later!" Mina waved with a closed eye friendly goodbye, waving off Momo as the beautiful girl left.
As the class representative left her view out of earshot, the pink girls' waving ceased. While others were training Mina remained in place. Her black eyes lidded open, a bit of a knowing smirk on her face.
"I'll see you after I pay your little lover a little visit!"
