I own nothing. May contain Out of Character moments.

After talking with All Might and bringing Bakugou up to speed on the Egg, all four of them went to Aizawa. And though the Symbol of Peace explained how all this came to be, the scraggly Hero still had to dole out a punishment. For starting the fight, Bakugou was suspended from classes for 4 days. Midoriya, for refusing to walk away from the situation, got 3 days. And Mineta, who knew something was going down but didn't bring it to anyone's attention, received 2 days.

Additionally, all three of them are to clean all of the Dorm's common areas and write a note of apology.

Needless to say, it was Hell. For some reason, despite weekly cleanings from everyone in 1A, the Dorm's common areas still got pretty dirty. Adding to that, it seems Midoriya, Mineta, and Bakugou were missing out on some serious class lessons and announcements. And it has only been a day…

Mineta couldn't imagine what missing another would be like, let alone Midoriya's 3 or Bakugou's 4.

"We've got some serious catching up to do." Mineta muttered as he wiped at his portion of the window.

"Absolutely… I can't imagine how far behind we are." Midoriya said with a chuckle, spraying the glass in front of him.

"I'm sure you two will be fine." Uraraka commented as she stopped behind them.

"What makes you say that Uraraka-san?" The green haired boy asked, turning around with Mineta. The gravity-defy girl gestured to Midoriya before raising her hand to Mineta, who stood perfectly balanced on his partner's shoulders. And as the shorter boy considered Uraraka's reasoning, he couldn't really find any arguments.

"Fair point." Mineta replied.

"Just get a fucking ladder you idiots! What you're doing isn't efficient at all!" Bakugou shouted as he swept the floor past them. For some reason, a few new dust spots were discovered on the floor. So, the explosive blonde took it upon himself to annihilate them. Not that this stopped him from trying to 'convince' Midoriya and Mineta from doing things 'better'.

"Is Bakugou-chan jealous that he doesn't have someone on his shoulders?" Tsuyu asked monotonously as she looked up from her notebook. Mineta had to stop himself from snorting. That almost sounded like a taunt and it probably was… But only she could make it sound so genuine.

"Who the Hell would be jealous of that!? And if anything, I'm the one who should be on top!" Bakugou shouted, turning his glare towards the amphibious girl. Kirishima immediately perked up and got out of his seat. His toothy grin and red eyes reflecting the strangest conclusion Mineta has seen yet. One that Iida was ready to intercept and put down.

"Kirishima-kun, this is THEIR punishment. You don't need to trouble yourself over them." Iida said as his arms resolutely pointed towards Mineta, Midoriya, and Bakugou.

"Maybe… But if a man could help his buds, he should. Besides, Midoriya and Mineta look really cool right now and I'm sure me and Bakugou could pull it off too." Kirishima replied, determination reinforcing his words.

"Damn right we cou– Hold on! This is my shit to shovel, not yours! Stay out of it!" Bakugou yelled before running away, sweeping all the while. And immediately did the red haired boy give chase.

"Come on man! It'll just be like the Sports Festival! And don't run from your chores! You'll never finish!"

"I'm not running from them! I'm running from you!" Bakugou shouted as he and Kirishima disappeared further into the dorm. Everyone in the common area stared in simple silence at the spots where the bold and brash duo last stood. And after the longest pause, with Bakugou's curse filled shouting in the distance, Todoroki broke the silence with a well summarized comment…

"We're a powder keg, aren't we?"

"You just realized that now?" Jirou asked.

"Well I for one welcome the chaos. It's never a boring day with Class 1A at the helm!" Mina said with a cheer before throwing her body into one of the couches. Before any other response to that could be heard, Yaoyorozu came in with a half closed laptop. Behind her were those who weren't in the common area at the time, which included Kirishima and Bakugou who just left.

And the red haired boy was carrying the explosive blonde on his shoulders…

"Not a fucking word about this gets out…" Bakugou said with a low growl.

"Sure thing man… Anyway, what's going on Yaomomo? You've got everyone here, so it must be something big." Kaminari asked, turning to the regal girl.

"Indeed there is, Kaminari-san. My uncle has finally finished appraising the paintings and is ready to share his findings." She replied before setting up the laptop. Mineta's eyes widened as Class 1A interest perked up. Class 1A immediately began gather around their class vice president, Bakugou and Mineta being set down by their respective partner. And once everyone had found their place, the video call with a man in a suit started. He had somewhat messy graying hair and wore rather tacky glasses… But his intelligent eyes and refined aura spoke loudly over it.

"Everyone, this is my Uncle, Yaoyorozu Shinichi. Uncle, these are my fellow students at UA, Hero Class 1A." Yaoyorozu said, briefly introducing both parties.

"Good afternoon Heroes, I do hope I'm not intruding at an inopportune time. But my investigations on those paintings you've found with Momo have concluded. And you will be as surprised as I was when I share my findings." Shinichi replied as he began clicked on something from his end. His window shrunk as 22 images appeared on screen, one of which was the painting Mineta saw when they first unearthed the collection.

"So Mr. Collector, what sort of findings are we talking about? Are they like several hundred years old? Were they made by a master painter? Does it contain the secrets to the uni–?" Hagakure questioned before Ojiro gagged her with his tail. Shinichi let out a brief chuckle at the sight before continuing with his findings.

"Well… It's one of those interesting conclusions. These paintings, known collectively as 'The Journey of the Soul', were made by Master Kitagawa Yusuke as the culmination of his 73 years of experience. It is considered one of his finest collections."

"Finest? Not bad, not bad at all… Still, how did we, more specifically Mineta and Kaminari, stumble upon such a thing in the first place?" Shouji asked, gesturing to the shorter boy. Now that everything was over and the question was asked, Mineta didn't know how all this came to be. How did these paintings leave their painter's side? How did it wind up in one of Yaoyorozu's properties? Why of all things is the map to said paintings inside a defaced magazine?

But despite all of these questions, Shinichi simply shook his head in defeat.

"I don't know. For the 20 years these paintings went missing, there were many rumors that were all equally plausible. But all we know for certain is that the collection was definitely stolen. Who did it, why they did it, or how it ended up where it did is still a mystery… But what matters now is that they're now in the right hands and the fine arts community has you to thank for that. As such, we'll be generously compensating you all for your efforts."

"So, what sort cash are we looking at? I can't imagine it being worth much since it sounds like this Kitigawa guy's still alive and kicking…" Bakugou asked as he subtly glared at Mineta. The shorter boy did his best to ignore him and the implications of his words. Though Mineta, currently, was more concerned with the possibility of becoming 1A's man servant now that the reveal was going to happen.

Would the price be right? Or would he have to start getting dressed as a butler or, heaven forbid, a maid?

"2.5 million." Shinichi said plainly, as though the amount was but pocket change.

"If equally divided amongst the 20 of us, it's not a bad reward." Tsuyu commented, tapping a finger against her chin.

"I suppose so… But I would still like Monsieur Mineta to offer us a small favor. That dig was incredibly taxing on some of us." Aoyama said, rubbing his arms as though it suffered from phantom soreness. Mineta flinched as he could already feel a devious smile form Mina and Bakugou's mouths. However, before things got out of hand, their appraiser said a single word that drew in Class 1A's attention again.

"Each."

"… I'm sorry, what was that Uncle?" Yaoyorozu asked, completely unsure of what she heard.

"For a moment, we thought you said these paintings were worth 2.5 million each." Sero commented, drops of sweat rolling down the back of his neck. Mineta swore the tension strangling them couldn't get any tighter. And yet, Shinichi continued to drop the hammer onto them with the calmest of tones.

"Yes I did."

"I see…" Tokoyami commented calmly, shakily nodding his head. Silence took hold of the entire room. But none of that could ever hide the fact that the fuse has been lit. Todoroki was right; Class 1A was a powder keg. And as Mina said, there was never a boring moment around them. So when you put those two things together…. Everything exploded and blew out Mineta's eardrums, even if he was too shocked to feel it.

"Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea-Ea!?" Uraraka blubbered, constantly stumbling over that one syllable. The girl then began to fall over, her brains clearly deep fried by this news. Midoriya managed to stop her from hitting the floor, but it was clear she needed more time to recover mentally.

"I see it… White sands… Clear water… Beautiful skies… Is this… Heaven?" Uraraka muttered with a half smile, her eyes dulled by whatever hallucination she's seeing.

"Uraraka-san! Stay with us!" Midoriya shouted as he desperately tried to wake her from her stupor.

"Quickly! Get her onto a couch!" Iida ordered as Kouda, Jirou, and Todoroki got up from their seats. Midoriya immediately moved the gravity defying girl onto the couch and laid her down. And once they did, Uraraka just passed out as a soft snore escaped her lips. Now that things have calmed down, 1A went back to their appraiser to hear the rest of it.

"Sorry about that… So, two and a half million yen for each one?" Mineta asked. He still can't believe that they were getting such a payout. Then again, those paintings were from a master painter… So it makes sense that they would be worth at least this much.

"Correct, but that's not all you'll be receiving. For turning in the entire collection in such pristine condition, we're rewarding you with an additional 4 million. There's also the two million Master Kitagawa has included for locating his stolen works." Shinichi answered before casually continuing his findings. Now 1A was practically choking on the air as their minds began to process just how much money they've stumbled upon.

Sure, if it's divided evenly amongst them, it's not as bad… But that's still more funds than they know what to do with right now.

"And that is everything. Well children, I'll be off now, don't want to take away too much of your time. Momo, I'll mail you the details of the account that's currently holding the payment. From there, you and your friends should be able to divide and transfer it however you wish. Well then Heroes, until next time." Shinichi said, waving good bye.

"Wait! Uncle!" Yaoyorozu shouted before his window closed, ending the call. Again, another wave of silence took hold of 1A. Each member of the class just looked to one another, dazed and confused over any of this. It wasn't until Yaoyorozu began speaking that they finally began discussing on what to do with this sudden spike in 'pocket change'.

"So, what is the plan everyone?" She asked, turning to each of her peers.

"I say we divide it as soon as possible… But honestly, I have no idea what to do with my share." Mina replied with a contemplative hum.

"That goes double for me, since I'm not one who wishes for frivolous things… I could just split my share amongst the rest of you… Or donate it…" Shouji added as he began meditating on his thoughts.

"We'd rather not take something that you have earned just as much as the rest of us, Shouji-kun." Midoriya replied.

"Keep your God damn change to yourself. I refuse to owe anyone anything." Bakugou said, glaring at Shouji.

"Yeah, that's something I'm not okay with. A boss has got to look out for his workers after all." Mineta replied. Before Mina was about to make a 'minion' comment, the shorter boy silenced her with a clean wash cloth to the face.

"Then why don't we just leave the money where it is for now until we figure out what to do with it. There's no reason we should figure everything out right away." Iida suggested. 1A let out a hum of agreement before Yaoyorozu began gathering her things. And so, everyone slowly began breaking off, returning to their own matters… Until…

"Wait, hold up! We should be celebrating! We've just hit gold and you're all just going to brush it off?" Kaminari asked. Mineta just stared at the electric blonde, as did everyone else. But as the seconds passed, the atmosphere slowly became more and more festive.

"… Huh, I guess you're right. Guess that brain of yours isn't as deep fried as I thought." Jirou said with a sly smile.

"Then let's get this party started! What's on the menu!?" Kirishima shouted with a cheer.

…

…

…

After 20 minutes of discourse, 1A settled on Kaminari's suggestion of Hamburgers. And after selecting their choices from the menu, the order was placed with expedited delivery. But while their food did come and it was good, if a little greasy for some… 1A became a little unnerved when they found out how fast 'expedited delivery' really was.

"On what planet does expedited delivery mean two minutes!?" Mineta asked as he shifted the garbage bags in his hands. Currently the shorter boy and Midoriya were carrying several bags of garbage towards UA's dump site. It's only been half an hour since they've finished eating and yet neither of them could shake off today's events.

"First a several million yen reward, then an instantaneous dinner order… Not exactly a combo I expected on our first night being suspended, but at least we've got something out of today. Tomorrow, we'll be back to missing out on so many things in class. It's Hero Fundamentals tomorrow too…" The green haired boy replied, his shoulders sagging a little.

"Like Uraraka said, we'll be fine. You've got me and I got you. Actually, speaking of her… Good work catching and carrying Uraraka when she went all loopy. She's sure to remember that." Mineta said before he flashed a sly smile. Midoriya's face lit up and he turned away from the shorter boy, even if that was ultimately pointless.

"I'm just repaying my debt to Uraraka-san… She's already stopped me from hitting the ground several times…"

"I know, I know, I'm just teasing you. Anyhow, let's drop this off and get back to the dorms. Do you know if take-out boxes go in the burnable?" Mineta said with a laugh.

"They indeed go there." A face on the nearby wall answered.

"Oh, thanks." Mineta replied automatically as he and Midoriya continued walking. The pair walked a few more steps until both of them froze on the spot. Simultaneously, they turned to the spot where the face was but found it empty. A chill began to crawl up Mineta's spine as he slowly turned to his partner.

"Midoriya…?"

"I saw it… But where did it go?" He answered, his voice shaking a little.

"I'm down here."

Mineta and Midoriya jumped as they heard the voice directly in front of them, almost dropping their bags of trash. Though once he and Midoriya regained their composure, they faced the face and meet its bold blue eyes. And based on facial structure and voice, the shorter boy could at least tell they were talking to a guy that was a little older than them. A prank loving senior perhaps?

"W-Who are you?" Midoriya asked carefully.

"More like what are you!? I know Quirks are weird but this is going the distance!" Mineta added, backing off a step.

"What am I indeed? Even I'm not sure what I'm doing here! But I'm sure this isn't an accident. So keep your chins up, your ears open, and your hearts strong. Do that, I'm sure we'll meet again another day. Ciao!" The face replied before sinking into the earth. The two stared at the spot for the longest time… And as the sounds of gently rustling trees and the chirps of summer insects filled their ears…

Mineta looked to Midoriya with eyes full of bewilderment.

And Midoriya looked to Mineta with a face drenched in sweat.

"What was that!?"

And that has been Chapter 95!

With this chapter, we arrive at the end of the Treasure Hunt side quest. 1A has quite the sum of money to their name, though what they could do with that money is kind of limited. So I ask you, my dear readers, if you were them, what would you do with that amount of money? But all in all, I think this is a nice way to close off what I consider to be the first third of The Saint and The Sinner.

However, in other news, this is where I will change the update schedule to a monthly release. Since I am planning to take on other matters in my life, I will have less time and motivation to take on this fan fiction. I'll do be my best to keep updating though since there are still story beats I REALLY want to show you all in the next arc. So I hope you all will still be here when I get back to you in a month.

So...

Until Next Time. T1.
