Mineta walked to school, not nearly as pumped as he was before, so he didn't go nearly as early. On the way he could recognize many of the other hero course students making their way there at the same time.
"Morning Mineta" Sero finally caught up to him as he sped up "Excited for our first real hero course challenge? I mean, All Might is going to be in charge so it's gotta be fun!"
He shrugged, not seeming too interested "I'm more excited for whatever class Midnight teaches. I've had a thing for her since I was in diapers!"
"I think she's also the only female teacher here who would work for… your tastes"
"You won't have to be jealous" he grinned "I promise I will leave at least one girl for you when I start my harem"
"How thoughtful" the tape-dispenser joked.
"I try"
"Morning guys!" Pony cheered finding them at UA's entrance.
"Morning" they both waved, though Sero clearly had no idea what she had just said. Pony started walking ahead of them, leaving the midget to grin mischeviously.
"You don't know what she said, do you?" he glanced up at his buddy, who shrugged "Oh, that must be so embarrassing"
"What did she say?" Sero started getting nervous at his tone.
"Sorry, I don't think I can say that in public" Mineta turned, holding back his giggles before jogging away from his friend.
The taller boy frowned before quickly running after him "Hey, you can't just not tell me after talking like that!"
They made their way to the top with the other students. The vast majority of them looked just as pumped up as he was when the first day. But that was to be expected, he wasn't as excited to get his face pumbled as others.
He took his seat in the back, contemplating moving his seat around so he could stare at the back of Momo's head and maybe get a whiff of what kind of perfume she uses. But sadly, all he had was the snake girl next to him. Granted, he was just fine contemplating what her scales would feel like.
Like the day prior, all of the students would make it to class before their teacher would finally arrive. He looked as tired as he was the day prior, and even less enthused.
"Good morning" Iida and Shishida were the first to greet him.
"Yea, yea…" he grumbled, resting his body against the front podium. "As you all likely know… today will be our first day of hero training. That means for today, your main teacher will be-"
"DON'T WORRY, I'M HERE!" from the door Japan's number 1 hero All Might slammed through their homeroom door, landing right next to their teacher "ARE WE ALL EXCITED FOR OUR FIRST LESSON!?"
"IT'S ALL MIGHT!" just about every student around him, excluding the weird half-and-half kid, stood up and started cheering over his appearance.
"WELL THEN, WE BEST NOT WAIT BEHIND, WE'VE GOT COSTUMES TO TRY ON!" he turned to Aizawa, who sighed softly. Their homeroom teacher tapped a button, resulting in 20 separate briefcases appearing from the wall.
"NOW LET'S DO THIS!" just as sudden as his appearance was, he was already flying back out of the room at top speeds.
Mineta blinked twice, before tapping his arms. No, he wasn't dreaming, things were just going that fast. That's when he realized what their heroics teacher said 'COSTUMES'.
Oh god, I totally forgot I used my little brother's design for this. He gulped nervously, being the last of the students to get up and grab their costume.
Aizawa turned his head once they had all grabbed their costumes "Since the lug head forgot to say where you'll all be going… head to battleground Alpha. He yawn should be there"
"Yes sir" they recited in unison before going down to the changing rooms. Much handsomer men changing around him is bad enough, but now he had to see what kind of mess he would have to put on. He shut his eyes before flipping his suitcase open.
The midget slowly opened his eyes, finding it was exactly what he expected. It was a purple skin-tight body suit, big yellow gloves and boots, and a large white diaper. How am I going to pick up women in something like this?
"Hey, Mineta, not like I'm wanting to watch or anything but aren't you going to get into your outfit?" he chuckled a bit at his joke, just finding his friend staring at his costume "What's wrong?"
Mineta raised the costume up to him. Sero visibly flinched at his costume, before just trying to laugh it off "Oh, that's not so bad"
"Oh, that's what you'd say in your costume. It looks so much cooler than mine!"
His hero costume consisted of a black, skin-tight bodysuit with a turtleneck, which was plain apart from a white design on his mid-torso area, and two yellow trimmings around each of his elbow-length sleeves. He wore white boots, lined with yellow, and had white short bands around his waist and the sides of his thighs, a larger one across his chest to connect his shoulder pads, which are shaped like tape dispensers. He completes his outfit with a yellow helmet, shaped similarly to his shoulder pads, which has a large black visor obscuring his face.
"Oh, this old thing? It's really nothing special. Just wanted something effective" Sero pulled on his outfit with a small smile.
The pop-off-user pouted angrily "I'll just wait until you're all out of here before I change into my thing"
"You sure you want to leave All Might-sensei waiting? You might get paired up with a guy if you take too long"
That's what got him "Ok, ok fine! Just don't look this way while I'm changing!"
"Believe me, I can promise I won't peek" he snickered, turning around to give Mienta his privacy.
Mineta took a deep breath before taking off his outfit and getting into his hero costume. It wasn't a long process, with the costume being formed specifically to fit him. Once it was on, he glanced into a mirror and immediately frowned.
"This sucks" he grumbled.
"See? It's not that bad" Sero waved dissmisilvely. However, that didn't help much when Kamakiri and Tsubaraba were both clearly laughing at the other end of the room.
He couldn't help but blush at all the mockery, walking past them to just get to the battlefield as fast as he could. Just like with the boys, when he got there he could tell multiple of the girls were either giggling or were trying to hold it in. Even Pony was giggling innocently.
"That costume is so funny, Mineta, it looks great on you!" she giggled even louder, snorting slightly.
"Yea, thanks" he growled lowly.
After some time the rest of the students arrived at the entrance of the battlefield, and while at first many of them were amused by his costume, they would soon go to simply chatting amongst themselves before too long. But Minoru still chose to not speak with anyone as much as he could avoid.
That's when the gates to the main entrance finally opened. The class of heroes slowly walked into the battlefield, finding All Might waiting for them with his signature smile.
"YOU ALL LOOK SO GOOD LIKE THAT!" their teacher cheered, looking like he was on the verge of tears, he was so proud.
"I've been thinking about my costume for years!" Tetsu grinned confidently.
His hero costume was made up of a dark green jumpsuit, cut off just below his chest, with some small, silver-rimmed holes in the lower section of his baggy pants and black boots with metal soles, heels, and front plating. He has steel straps over his shoulders and under his arms, made up of multiple pieces, which connect at a red oval in the center of his chest, with two thinner bands around his biceps and a small plate on either side of his waist. He wore a metal jaw-guard around his face, with the letters "Fe" stamped on a plate on each side of his face.
Behind him Mineta noticed a girl dressed up as a mushroom-themed mage was clearly eyeing the mostly shirtless boy up and down.
"I CAN TELL FROM HOW AMAZING IT LOOKS!" All Might seemed like the first person at the school that matched his overabundance of excitement.
"So what are we doing?" Kamakiri frowned, clearly annoyed. His hero costume was a large dark green cloak, plain black trousers and three-toed boots. He also had a mask covering his face. "I want to get right to the cutting!"
"Easy now" All Might smiled, for once not yelling his words "We've still got to select teams!"
"I call Todoroki on my team!" Mina beamed excitedly. The boy in question just looked confused at her 'calling' him.
The teacher laughed boisterously "Now now young hero, we have a perfect system to make sure each and every team is completely fair"
This caught the students' attention, all of them looked to the #1 pro with curiosity. That's when he pulled a cardboard box out with an even bigger smile. It was filled entirely by balls with letters on them. "Everyone pick one ball and try to find a partner with the same letter!"
That's a bit anticlimacting. He shrugged, not seeing any problem with this as the hero rushed past all of them, holding the box out for them to grab.
Mineta was one of the last students, grabbing a ball with 'A' on it. I hope I got with someone good.
He smirked, glancing around the multiple women standing around. He walked over to Pony and Sero, thinking one of them might have the same letter, but found they were both holding 'J' in their hands.
"Guess not them…" he murmured.
"Um… excuse me Mineta-san. Do you by chance have an 'A' as well?"
The midget turned around and instantly felt his jaw drop at the sight. Momo had a faint blush on her face as she looked down at him. Her hero costume consisted of a high-collared, sleeveless crimson leotard with silver lines at her waist and around her arms, which is open to expose her skin from her neck to just below her navel.
She also wore calf-length red boots with heels, which dip sharply down in the center, and two gold utility belts around her waist, another, thinner one around the top portion of her chest, below her shoulders that accentuated her chest a bit. The loewe belts also only covered the top of her thighs.
My blood flow is going to be off today… he now felt thankful for his brother's design, with how much it managed to cover.
He grabbed his arm, using all of his will to raise the ball into the air to show he did have an 'A' ball as well.
"Oh, that's wonderful. I was excited to see what we could accomplish together in a more combative setting" she clasped her hands together with a sweet smile.
"Yea… I'm sure this will go great…" he chuckled nervously.
"I HOPE EVERYONE IS EXCITED FOR THEIR TEAMS, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE SOME RULES TO SET!" The students stood in their groups, waiting for the instructions.
"IN THIS CHALLENGE, ONE TEAM WILL BE PLAYING HEROES, AND THE OTHER WILL BE PLAYING VILLAIN. THE HEROES WILL BE INVADING THE BUILDING AND TRYING TO TAKE THE VILLAIN'S WEAPONRY! ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TOUCH THE BIG BOMB IN THE VILLAIN'S BASE AND THE HEROES WIN. VILLAINS, MEANWHILE, JUST NEED TO END THE ROUND'S TIMER WITHOUT BEING TAKEN DOWN. AND FOR BOTH TEAMS, YOU CAN ALSO WIN BY CUFFIN' UM!" He raised a yellow cuff in his hand, swinging it around on his finger.
"And our first team will be…" he reached into another box this time "Our villains will be… team A and our heroes will be…" the teacher pulled out another ball "team D"
"Oh, we're starting already?" Mineta grumbled "Was hoping we'd at least get a little break"
His partner ignored his complaining, just looking to the other team they'd be fighting against. She saw Kamakiri glaring threateningly at them, sharpening his blades against each other. Meanwhile, his partner didn't actually look deranged.
The woman had notably long and pointed teeth. Her hair was a dark moss green, reaching just below her shoulders aside from a short clump that hangs in the center of her forehead, and it grows wavier and thinner the lower down it gets. Her hero costume was made of a purple, scaly mask over her eyes, a simple bodysuit with a matching design and black knee-high boots. She wears finger gloves with orange, three-piece wrist-guards, and a belt around her waist with what looks to be a jewel embedded into the center.
"Hey, I hope this goes alright for us" the scaled girl smiled, walking over to them with her hands extended.
"It will be a pleasure competing against you Tokage" Momo smiled, shaking her hand.
"Same to Momo" she grinned back.
The use of their first names piqued his interest "Do you two know each other?"
"Oh, yes" his partner nodded "We were both accepted on recommendation. In fact, we've known each other since middle school I believe"
Setsuna snickered a bit "You were such a dweeb back then. But now you're not half bad. Especially with the costume" she teased, grinning wider at Momo's growing blush.
He stared at the two of them. His expression read as silent curiosity, but in his head, a visual of Setsuna and Momo mud wrestling each other was all he could think about.
"You two sound like good friends…" he murmured, letting some blood trickle down from his nose.
"We'll meet back in an observatory. We'll be watching the whole event so make sure to do your best!" he cheered before leading the other students away.
Mineta frowned as they walked away, going to the first building on the main street. It looked like a rather normal building. He walked into the building with Momo, naturally following right behind her. If he walked a little bit faster he would plant his face right into her back end.
Eventually they reached the room housing the massive black bomb. It was set right in the middle of a completely empty room.
"Team A, you now have two minutes to set up your defenses. Use this time wisely!"
Momo looked down at her companion "I know your balls stick and bounce off of you, but before I form an idea on our plan would you like to suggest something?"
Mineta stared at her, grabbing his own head so his eyes and head wouldn't wonder her figure "Um, well, I can throw my grapes around the building. Make it hard for them to even try getting close to here"
"That is a good idea, but I believe I will need some of your balls"
"You can have as many as you want!" he grinned, giggling at the fact he finally got a woman to say that.
"Wonderful, I will need your help lifting the bomb, however" Momo turned away from him, opening her top further to pull a large latter out of nowhere.
Mineta just seemed confused at what she was planning. She set the ladder against the wall, leaning forward to grab the bomb. To her surprise, it wasn't that heavy for her.
"Good job" he smiled, crouching down to get an even better view of the up-skirt.
She suddenly turned around, and immediately frowned down at him "Mineta, may I ask what you're doing back there?"
The midget shot to his feet, flushing a paler color while wringing his hands together "Ah, um, well, I was just looking at your form! When you, um, lifted that bomb in the air. My form is just awful, and I have even worse back pains because of it"
She nodded slowly, seemingly buying his lie "Well, Mineta, I need you to hold this ladder so I won't fall. Would it be ok if I borrowed your gloves and some of the balls?"
"Oh, uh, sure" he pulled off his two gloves, handing them to her before walking over to the ladder. He put both of his hands onto the ladder with an encouraging smile.
The beautiful woman carried the bomb up the ladder, making sure she was stable as she went up. Mineta giggled to himself getting an even easier upskirt than last time. Eventually she got to the top and looked down at him, when he averted his gaze.
"Can you throw some of the balls up for me please?"
He obliged, grabbing grapes from his head and softly chucking them up at her. Surprisingly she managed to catch the balls, placing them onto the ceiling to hold the bomb up, right next to a large air-vent.
"So what's the plan now?" he looked up to her, staring a lot more casually now that he was getting used to her perfect costume.
"We should barricade the rest of the areas leading up to this room" Momo decided "I will place a barricade in the area around the room, you can place your balls in the areas leading up to here"
Mineta just nodded "Seems like a fine idea to me, honestly"
"Great, I will get to creating then" she walked out the door, still turned away from him as she started producing tables, stone walls, and plenty of other defensive objects.
At the same time, he was going ahead of her, placing grapes all around the walls and floors. There were so many strewn around, it would be impossible for just about anyone to walk around here without wasting plenty of time.
"That's… good" he smiled, wiping the blood out of his eyes "I better get back before the round starts-"
Before he could make it back, he walked in front of a window as the alarm went off. Alerting both the villains and heroes that the round was on.
"Crap, crap" he whimpered, running past his grapes and back toward momo, who was attaching the final part of their barrier.
"Did you create the traps like we discussed?" Momo smiled hopefully at him.
"Yea, yea. It's all done" he grinned, jumping through the opening before she covered it with strong steel beams. "So, you know Setsuna, what can we expect with her when it comes to her power? We know Kamakiri is… something about blades"
"Oh, yes, right. I had meant to mention this prior." she smiled bashfully "Her quirk is called 'Tail Splitter'. She can detach parts of her body and fly them around"
The midget stared at her for a moment before glancing back at the vent nearby "Hey, uh, do you think you'll be fine guarind this spot"
"Oh, that's a bit sudden but I should be able to hold them off for a time if you've got a plan. At the very least your balls should be slowing them down further"
He simply nodded, running past her and crawling up to the vent with his grapes before crawling inside, not explaining what he was doing to his partner. The vent would've been tight for most of his classmates, but for him it was actually pretty easy to just move around in.
There's no way she doesn't just sneak around with a quirk like hers. Going through here would be almost too easy.
The hero student slowly crawled down the route, not hearing much for most of the trip until he finally heard something shaking around near them. He smirked, grabbing a grape from his head as he prepared for the attack.
"Hey Mineta" he felt something whisper into his ear before what felt like multiple bullets launched into his chest and stomach. He looked up to see multiple parts of Setsuna's body floating in front of him and were coming at him at top speeds!
He ducked under an oncoming leg, barely avoiding the strike "See you at the bomb baby boy!" she taunted as multiple fingers flew to the end of the vent.
"Hey, get back here!" the hero student called, quickly running to try catching up with her. That's when he was suddenly slammed onto his torso with a grunt. He turned his head around, finding Setsuna's torso and other leg were pinning him down rather easily.
I wish I could enjoy this more. He grunted, having her body pressed up against his back as she held him down. Mineta crawled on the floor, moving a bit from her back before she stomped down on his head.
"Thanks for doing my job for me" Mineta smirked, grabbing the grapes she stepped on before tossing them to the side of the vent with the leg. "Shouldn't be hard tying the rest of you down" he taunted before turning around and pulling off more grapes, with his head already starting to bleed.
Further ahead, Setsuna's head, leg, fingers, and hands were flying to the end of the vent. Her head turned around, making sure there was no sight of Mineta "I almost feel bad ambushing him like that"
While she was distracted she continued to fly. That's when all of her parts suddenly flew into something sticky. She tried turning her head but had a difficult time doing so. Even with the slight turn of her head, she found that she was totally stuck to a wall of Mineta's balls that were right in front of the vent's main exit.
"D-damnit!" she grunted, trying to peel her cheek from the ball with no success "...I hope Kamakiri is doing better" she grumbled, effectively accepting her fate.
The scene moved to Momo's barrier. Kamakiri was using the ceiling to slowly crawl his way across the ceiling by moving his bladed arms. He looked down at Momo's fortress, covered in hard defensible objects.
"Finally something my quirk'll be good for" he smirkered, lowering his arms at once with his bladed forearm extended. His blades extended longer than they had before, slashing at the top of her fortress in an 'x' motoin.
While he didn't break through, Momo could tell just off that one slash he was starting to damage the whole structure. This is bad. I'll need to think of a way to stop him quick… Momo internally tried to come up with something quick.
Coming up with something on the fly seemed harder than the genius expected. At the same time, Kamakiri was still viciously slashing through her metals while cackling like a maniac.
I should fall back! She decided, running back through the door before slamming it shut. The student then turned back to the door, creating iran bars and some barbed wire against the door to hopefully slow his advance down further.
As she produced the defenses, small whimpers of pain escaped her lips. I-I hate how sensitive my quirk makes my skin. I-it's almost unbearable.
Eventually she had the door effectively barricaded. On the other side of the wall, Kamakiri was still annihilating all of her metal work, very clearly making it through.
Momo glanced to the vent, wondering where Mienta was and when he would be getting back. That wonderment was cut off by a blade slamming into the wall, cutting a large hole into it "You're not going to be able to hide forever!"
While he was trying to threaten her, she paid more attention to how dull his blade was beginning to look. It was even more obvious once it started taking multiple swings of his blade.
I just need to distract him long enough for him to be too weak to keep swinging. Momo decided, taking a step back from the door before pulling a shield out from her forearm, holding it in one hand. In the other she would hold a steel pipe. At this point even the wind felt uncomfortable on her flesh.
It took just a few more swings before he flung himself into the room, raising his two blades to threaten her "Step away from the bomb. I might not turn you into minced meat"
"I will not back away hero" she frowned at him "My companion and I will fight to the very end to meet our villainous goals!"
Kamakiri tilted his head, clearly confused by what she was even talking about "Um… alright. Well, sorry not sorry then!"
He lunged forward, swinging his blades down on her shield, one after another. While they didn't blaze through her defenses like before, he was still slowly pushing her back with each cut.
"Come on, don't have any clever way to get out of this now!?" Kamakiri cackled, turning the two massive blades into multiple smaller blades. He slammed them both down onto her shield. Instead of scratching into the shield, the multiple blades dented into the shield before curving upward.
He raised one arm into the air, pulling her shield out of her grasp. Momo raised the metal pipe, trying to block the second blade slash. To her surprise, he cut through her pipe with one clean cut.
"Last chance to just take the loss!" Kamakiri threw the shield aside, extending one of his bladed arms in the air.
I need to come up with something quick! Momo panicked trying to think of something else she should create to stop him, but she just couldn't think of a possible solution in the moment.
He swung his blade down. All she could do was shut her eyes tight, preparing for what was coming. That's when she suddenly felt something slam into her side.
Momo gasped in pain, glancing at the cause. To her surprise, it was Mineta! He had flown off a few of his grapes, and was using the force to push her out of the way. His head was now almost coated in blood.
She smiled in pure joy having her partner come out of nowhere to try and help her! But that's when she noticed only one of his hands was pushing her out of the way. Meanwhile, his left hand was pushing past her shoulder to press it against one of her plentiful melons.
Her face flushed a bright red before she rolled out of Kamikari's way. Mineta had a dopey smile on his face, not caring if Sero was probably frowning in the viewer room.
This left him open when Kamakiri slammed the dulled blade down onto Mineta's back. Momo's eyes widened as his costume started getting slashed apart, with bits of blood splattering around him. Though it at least didn't look anything serious.
"Well, I guess that at least made it easier" the blade-user grinned, kicking Mineta out of the way casually. Momo stared in silent shock at how ruthless their classmate was.
"Mineta, are you ok?" she whispered.
"J-just fine" he smiled back, giving a small thumbs up.
Momo frowned, seeing good chunks of his costume were coated in his own blood. I can't let Kamakiri win after he did that to him!
She looked to barely be staying conscious before she raised her hand to fire multiple smoke bombs onto the floor. Kamakiri coughed at the smoke, with the scantily clad student passing out.
"That's not going to stop me" the boy grinned, forming blades onto his hands and feet "I'll just climb up the wall either way"
He did as he said he would, climbing up the wall with his blades. Mineta frowned watching him climb, before finally pulling off another one of his grapes and tossed it as hard as he could.
Lucky for him, the ball landed right on his next step forward. Kamakiri scowled stepping onto it "What the-"
Kamakiri formed a blade on his forearm, trying to cut the ball off of his foot. However, this wouldn't work and instead just trap him further. Knowing he wouldn't be moving any further, he extended his other arm and tried to reach the bomb with his extended blade, but it just wasn't long enough.
"AND IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM A WON OUR FIRST ROUND!" All Might cheered over the alarms, causing the three still conscious students to whine in defeat.
Inside the viewing room, All Might and the other students had watched the whole thing on multiple separate screens.
"That was… pretty intense" Mongoose whimpered slightly seeing how tired and beaten their classmates were.
"DON'T WORRY STUDENTS, WE HAVE WONDERFUL WORKER HERE TO HELP GET YOUR CLASSMATES IN BETTER CONDITIONS!" he smiled proudly, watching as a swarm of robots carried the two 'villains' away carefully.
Meanwhile, a few other robots were using lotions made of Mineta's scalp to help un-stick the two other students from the trap. The short boy groaned weakly as the robots carried them away on medical stretchers.
With the first round over and the two of them out of commission, Kamakiri and Setsuna were the only two to come back to the viewing room. All Might stood in front of the group of students with a wide grin. The two losers looked pretty annoyed, though Kamakiri was far worse than his partner.
"So!" the teacher smiled "Before I begin explaining what you did right and what you had done wrong, I will give all of you the chance to give your thoughts on which of the four students did the best!"
Further in the back of the group, the harry student raised his hand "YES, SHISHIDA!"
"I would say Momo had done the best job in this challenge. While Mineta was responsible for the capture of both heroes, but Momo stayed close to the bomb, keeping it protected to the best of her abilities. Her plan was also rather effective at wasting the hero's time. She even managed to stay in character as well, while Kamakiri was playing more villain than hero"
The bladed student scoffed at the critic, showing his lack of interest for what he was saying. Their teacher, meanwhile, was just smiling proudly.
"Yes! While you did, uh, leave some things out but that was a good analysis!" he was clearly a bit awkward with his delivery "But let's move onto our next round! Team J and I are up next!"
Back out onto the field, the handsome boy with white and red hair was standing at the entrance of the building. He wore a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold-colored straps going over his shoulders. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, even his head.
Below them was their title 'Team I'.
"So, how do you want to do this?" to his side Mina had a large grin on her face "I can throw my acid at them, so maybe I could-"
Todoroki silently raised his hand, telling her to quiet down "I can handle this by myself. I would step back if you don't want to be hurt"
"Hey, I'm not that week!" Mina frowned, clearly annoyed by his tone.
"You can go ahead if you want me to freeze you" he turned to her, giving her a threatening glare.
She stared at him for a moment, trying to match his glare before ice started slowly forming around them. "O-ok, ok" she smiled weakly, taking a few steps back.
With her out of the way, the alarm blared above them. He didn't even form a smile as he walked to the front of the building and through its main doors. All along the ground he could see Ibara's vines set up like a trap.
He didn't appear bothered by this, taking one step onto solid ground before floors throughout the building froze over in mere seconds.
On the higher level, Ibara and Shoji were both hiding in the bomb room. The religious girl was crouched down, using her vines to wall off their room. At the same time, Shoji was using his extendable dupla-arm to listen in on the two 'heroes' invading their building.
"I can hear them coming through the main door" he alerted his partner with an extended mouth on the end of his arm.
"It shouldn't be too hard to capture them in that case" she smiled, moving her head slightly "that's not right-"
The flash freeze reached them, freezing Shoji's feet to the ground as well as Ibara's legs. "Shoji, you must break us out of this now!"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Down the hall they could hear Todoroki's dry delivery as he effortlessly walked on the ice "Ibara's skin may rip off if you try to pull her from the ice"
Shoji looked down at his partner, finding her dress did leave some of her flesh being connected with the ice. That's when Todoroki appeared at the door, walking into the room "So if you don't mind, I'm just going to touch the bomb"
The large student stared at Todoroki walking into the room. His eyes narrowed, showing his anger even with his mask covering his lips, before he extended six fists at his classmate.
Todoroki stared blankly before extending the ice from the ground to capture all of his fists in one giant block of ice.
"There's nothing wrong with accepting defeat" he whispered, moving past them with no threat in his way and tapped the bomb.
"A-AND TEAM I HAS WON O-OUR SECOND ROUND!" All might congratulated them, with him and just about everyone else in the observing room shaking from how cold he made it.
With the sweep out of the way, the remaining three teams would face each other for most of the remaining day.
The next team on offense was Sero and Pony, team B, were speeding through yet another new building with multiple pipes filling up the halls. Sero was using his tape to fling himself forward while Pony galloped alongside him.
The area they were traveling through was quite clearly very dark. Pony's hero costume was horse-themed. She wore a horse halter around her head with a lead rope dangling from the back, resembling a jockey uniform, consisting of an orange skin-tight shirt with paler markings around her chest and stomach, with matching-colored pants, along with a pair of fingerless gloves. She wears belts secured around her collarbone, biceps, and lower torso, and boots that not only guard her hooves but also have stirrups attached on either side.
At the other end of the building, team E was standing at the entrance of their bomb base. These two were mutated male students standing next to each other. One of them had a bird head with a beak and all, and the other was a large muscular boy with a rocky head.
Tokoyami nodded slightly at his partner, before walking out of their luminated bomb room and into the dark. As he walked out, a massive shadow surrounded him, terrifying his much larger partner as it roared aggressively.
After them was team C and G. On defense was Kinoko and Testsutetsu. The 'manly' boy turned his skin to metal, slamming his fists together as he got himself pumped up. To his side, Kinoko was flushed red, hiding some of her blush with her mushroom mage hat.
She was so flustered by his muscles that her body was slowly shaking around. With her hair flowing around multiple spores slowly flew across the room, landing into the stone before quickly sprouting around and barricading the door.
Outside the building, Shishida was crawling up the walls in his beast form. He was growling like a feral animal as he sniffed the air. On his back Jiro was holding on as tight as possible.
Jiro was a petite, fair-skinned girl with a slender build. Her hair is short, around chin length, and is dark purple in color with an asymmetrical fringe, and two reflections shaped like heartbeat monitor waves on either side of her head. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin cords, which act like extra limbs; she is able to control these at will, and they are very flexible, able to change length if so desired.
She looked like she was barely holding on while using her earphone jack to listen in on the two of them talking inside before Shishida slammed the wall open.
And finally, there was teams E and F.
On the outside of the building, Camie and Mongoose were walking side by side. They were team F, and were moving carefully. Camie had quite the… provocative outfit on, embarrassing her partner to a level she had to walk a foot away from her.
Her hero costume consisted of a simple black catsuit with blending patterned lines and a zipper running down the middle, left slightly down to reveal her cleavage. She wears white cuffs around her wrists and white heeled knee-high boots, patterned with gray lines, as well as a loose black collar lined with metallic plates.
"I-is that costume n-necessary?" Mongoose whimpered slightly. Her hero costume was a blue bodysuit with a high collar and attached high-heeled shoes, a snake pattern running down her arms and legs. She has darker blue straps around her shoulders, a section over her torso like a snake's chest, and she wears a long piece of yellow cloth tied around her waist, and a split, yellow-tinted visor over each eye.
"Yea, it's, like, so comfy no cap" Camie smiled nonchalantly.
"I-I-I guess that's fair" she murmured.
The building's basement was mostly dark, with Tsubaraba using his flashlight on his phone to illuminate the way as he blew out multiple barriers to keep them from easily making it through.
His hero costume was a simple light blue jacket, with pale pants, a black shirt underneath, and large brown boots with cylindrical shapes on the soles. Further down the hall Iida was at their bomb room, stretching his legs. He was dressed in armor and was more than fine working as their second line of defense.
Eventually they all finished their fights. And while none of them got as injured as team A in the first round, many were still bruised up.
Mineta, however, didn't get the chance to watch the others fight or what their costumes would look like. In fact, he wsa out for a good bit of the day until his eyes finally shot open in the later evening. The room was slightly illuminated by the evening sun.
"Ugh… I missed seeing Camie's costume in action…" he grumbled, rubbing his head to see he had multiple bandages on his head.
"I don't think her costume had any fancy technology to it that you wouldn't see on anyone" a feminine voice spoke up next to him.
His eyes bugged, glancing to the side to see Momo also lying down in a nurse room bed. She was smiling at him and didn't look like she had any injuries like him. She was, however, still in her costume. Just like him, actually.
"Oh, yea, I… guess that's true" he chuckled nervously "A-are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I just used too much of my quirk at the time. I was surprised to hear from Recovery Girl that you managed to win that for us"
Mineta grinned, shrugging nonchalantly "It really wasn't too hard. You were the one that slowed them down for most of the fight"
"Still, I greatly appreciate your help" she smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder. Almost immediately he flushed red, having a hot woman even just touching him like that.
"T-t-thanks" he smiled a bit. That's when they heard someone walking into the room. He turned, finding a small woman was holding the door open.
The woman was short and elderly with gray hair styled into a netted bun, a large syringe poking diagonally out of it to the left. She wore a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a belt with a pink "R"-shaped buckle. She wore pink boots and had a helmet around the sides of her head, a purple-tinted visor joining it over her eyes. In addition, she walked with a cane designed like a syringe.
"Good to see you both awake" she smiled softly "You've been healed up for some time, so you should be fine to get up and change. You haven't missed too much, so don't worry too much"
"Thank you" Momo bowed in appreciation, before Mineta followed the gesture to try not being rude.
She simply nodded before going to her desk to work on some paperwork. Momo and Mineta got up, before slowly making their way down to the changing rooms again.
"I hope no one worried over us" his partner walked slightly ahead of him "I wasn't expecting Kamakiri to go so viciously…" while she had smiled earlier, she was clearly starting to get down thinking about the combat.
"He's practically a psycho" he shrugged "If it wasn't training I can confidently say I would've totally crapped myself!"
He chuckled a bit, before realizing that was probably one of the lamest things he could've said. He lowered his head to look at the ground as Momo softly giggled. Other students walking past them were also laughing mockingly.
"I-it was rather scary. If you didn't come in, I would probably have been… rather injured" she glanced down at him.
Mineta could see his costume had multiple cuts on it, with most of them bandaged up. As far as he could tell them didnt' seem to still be bleeding.
"Eh, things happen. No point crying over spilled milk really. I'm just glad I was there to help you. His blades could've done some bad damage to you and your rocking figure"
Momo blushed slightly with a small frown "I-I don't quite appreciate how you put that, but I still appreciate the… sentiment"
Mineta awkwardly chuckled "Y-yea, I was just trying to joke anyways, no reason to judge me for that or anything!" She just nodded slowly, continuing her walk.
She still seems a bit down. Did my comment really go that far or something? It's not like I was saying I want her to sit on my face or something!
After a few moments they were at the changing rooms. Momo simply went inside the women's room, not talking to Mineta as he did the same and pretty quickly went back to his school outfit. That's when he noticed the poster in the room was slightly torn off. One end was folded down, and that's when he noticed the edge of a hole sticking out.
He licked his lips, quickly pulling on the poster. I can't believe my hero forefathers thought of making this. Now I can see all I've ever wanted to… the Yaoyoroppai!
Mineta stuck his head to the wall, trying to peek through the hole. "Mineta. It's good to see that you're doing ok now…"
The midget stiffened, slowly turning around to find Aizawa staring at him with a stern expression "Maybe now that you're changed you should hurry to class"
"G-great idea!" he smiled, nervously shifting past him before running out the door.
That was a close one! He sighed in relief, finding Momo was walking out of the other changing room at the same time "Oh! Momo! We should definitely walk back to class together!"
"Oh-" she wasn't expecting his excitement "Sure, I would be quite happy to do so"
"Great" he smiled, bouncing to walk next to her. Gotta win some points with her before that homeless guy tells her about that innocent mistake.
After a minute of walking, they reached their homeroom. Momo was the one to open the door, finding all of the students were effectively waiting for them.
"Oh thank goodness, you're both ok!" Pony cheered "I was so worried after you both passed out!"
Almost immediately everyone in the class was beginning to circle the two of them "Mineta, the way you captured Setsuna, that was so awesome!"
"Was a lucky trap" Setsuna rolled her eyes playfully "But you two should prepare for when I take a fight more seriously"
"It was quite the fight" Shishida noted, pushing up his glasses.
"You did pretty good" Jiro smiled at Momo "Your quirk's pretty cool too"
While the students were all excitedly speaking with each other, only Kamakiri and Todoroki chose to stay in the seating area. The blade-user slowly walked over to Todoroki with a confident smirk "Clearly they're not paying attention to the class's serious threats"
The half-and-half student had his head in his palm, not paying much attention to what he was saying "You're not in my field, grasshopper, none of you are. So I'd rather you not talk like we're equals"
Kamakiri gasped at his insult "Well just you wait until the sports festival then! I'll be more than happy to show you who's at the top when I win the sports festival!"
"Mhm" Todoroki went back to ignoring him, only infuriating his classmate further.
After this final class the students started making their way back to their homes. Pony and Sero were naturally walking alongside Mineta, who was in a pretty happy mood. "I really am impressed by how hard you went there" Sero mused.
"Gotta impress the girls somehow" he snickered.
"You'll have plenty of chance for that when we get to the sports festival. Assuming you don't faceplant half way through"
"Sports festival?" Pony frowned, tilting her head curiously.
"Oh yea, you're from America" Mineta nodded slowly "Basically, we'll be competing against each other and class B for the whole country to watch. It's basically our Olympics"
"Oh, fun!" she beamed, jumping up and down "Can't wait!"
He grinned back at her, watching her jump up and down before Sero grabbed her head to keep her from accidentally pleasing him. "Everyone knows the big hitters like Todoroki are the ones that win those competitions so don't get too excited"
"It's still worth a try!" Pony's small tail started wagging around.
"Yea, but I have a plan for if I do well in it or I don't" Mineta shrugged, not seeming so excited "Even if I embarrass myself it'll be totally worth it"
"Do I want to know what you're planning to do?" Sero lowered his torso to scrutinize him much closer.
"Probably not" he fully admitted. He glanced past his friend to stare at Pony, imagining her in a few different types of outfits like a French maid.
While walking in their little group, a small black fog floated in the air. From this fog a singular eye poked out, examining the area before focusing in on the three hero students walking together. It blinked a few times before disappearing into the air.
AN: And another one not too long after the last. I don't have much special to say for this chapter, just building up more of Mineta's dynamics with the class outside his two companions. Momo was actually more fun than I was expecting with Mineta here, so that's also a good bonus.
