MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

'Hmm... did he become stronger?'

Mineta had seen the strength of Endeavor, but as expected, it was still so-so. Endeavor had been beaten by the black All-Might before, so he had never thought of him much. Yet, he had to say Endeavor was quite impressive.

Endeavor used his flame to boost his speed as he maneuvered into the air, bursting, trying to catch the villain as soon as possible. However, his eyes still glanced behind, observing the three students who became interns in his office.

His son was good, and Bakugou wasn't bad, but Mineta was just above everyone.

Mineta was like All-Might; no matter how hard work was put in, it was impossible to be chased.

Endeavor could tell while Todoroki and Bakugou had a rough time chasing after him, Mineta was at ease, and he could even be faster. Yet Mineta didn't do that and just maintained a similar speed to Todoroki and Bakugou.

Todoroki and Bakugou had an illusion that they all could catch up with Mineta, but Endeavor could tell that Mineta matched their levels.

Endeavor wasn't sure why Mineta did this, and to be honest, he didn't know Mineta well. Many people dubbed him as the next symbol of peace, yet what Endeavor wanted to know about Mineta as a person before else.

'Well, I'll have a lot of time later.

Mineta was an intern at his Hero Agency, so they should have had a lot of time to discuss, but before that, Endeavor was about to take down the villain that rampaged nearby.

Before long, they saw a bearded man sitting on the glass sphere as he seemed to be in the middle of preaching.

"The stars of evil are conspiring! We must forestall them at all costs!! This earth shall be consumed by the darkness! By the will of Hokusai-sama, I will now start a judgment!"

Suddenly, all the glass in the surrounding area was sucked by the man like a liquid.

"Run! All ye citizens of this country! For I shall extirpate the root of this evil darkness!"

As the liquid glass-like gathered, it formed into a massive sphere.

"Let us begin."

There was no hesitation as he controlled the massive sphere of glass into the street to destroy everything, but a flash of fire suddenly shot appeared and smashed the glass.

Mineta, who was behind, also used his Quirk to collect all the broken glass, so it wouldn't hurt the people around.

Endeavor glanced at Mineta before he looked at the bearded villain man.

"Glass manipulation, huh, gramps? You seem to be quite skilled, but it seems you don't understand that's not something you do on my turf."

Endeavor blazed red, and the temperature around became intense.

"It's hot! It's hot!"

"Run!"

Everyone quickly ran away because of the heat.

The villain seemed that his body was burning, so he tried to run away, but he felt something pull his body as he fell from the cluster of the ball of glasses below.

"Ah!"

As he was floating in midair, he fell from a high altitude, helpless and fearful, thinking he would become mincemeat, but he felt something soft on the ground and bounced before he landed on the ground safely, yet he couldn't move.

Still, it gave him hope, thinking that he could run away, but he saw a familiar face in front of him.

"Yo."

Mineta smiled.

"......." The villain.

Mineta looked at the villain, who had become docile and stayed in a place. However, he still wrapped the villain's body with his substance since he wanted to be careful. When everything was over, he looked at Endeavor, who slowly landed on the ground.

"Did I do something unnecessary?"

"No, you did a good job."

Unlike him, Endeavor could tell that Mineta could solve this situation in a neater way.

"You said that, but your expression said otherwise." Mineta smiled.

Endeavor's expression was extremely gloomy since he could tell how strong Mineta was. Especially Mineta's substance; he thought that it was weak against a high temperature, but even when he was so close, it did nothing to the substance, and he also didn't even see him flinching.

'The next number one hero...'

Endeavor didn't understand it before, but now, he understood why Mineta was special. However, this was good since if Mineta was weak, how could Mineta become the next symbol of peace?

As for Todoroki? If Todoroki couldn't even handle this pressure, how could he think of becoming the number one hero?

After becoming the number one hero, Endeavor's thoughts also started to change. Instead of his obsession and selfishness, he thought about the big picture more.

If someone could maintain the peace of this country better than him, then Endeavor didn't mind becoming number two again.

"Come on! Bring him along! There should be a few more around."

"Okay, okay."

However, before that, Endeavor was going to hold this position first until Mineta became a qualified symbol of peace.

With the combination of the two, the villains didn't stand a chance.

Todoroki and Bakugou were also chasing after them with a lot of sweat drenching their bodies. They wiped their sweat with their hands as they looked at Endeavor and Mineta.

'Those two...' 2x

Unlike them, Endeavor and Mineta were at ease as if they did nothing.

Todoroki's expression was calm, but his eyes were blazing.

Bakugou grinned and knew that those two were at the top of the top.

It might be unrealistic to match them during this internship, but they were going to chase after them, grabbing their shirts and telling them to look behind.

Still, unexpectedly, someone they didn't expect would also come.

"Yo!"

"Hawk."

Endeavor frowned, looking at the man before him.

'Hawk...'

It was his first time seeing this hero.

The number two hero, Hawk.

Hawk's appearance was okay and not bad, but his Quirk was rather flashy since he had these massive striking wings on his back.

"Good work. It's still early, yet you have worked hard."

Hawk smiled, then looked at Mineta with a bright smile. "Hey, are you Mineta-kun?"

"Yes."

"It's nice to meet you. I want to meet you all the time." Hawk smiled as he was about to reach Mineta's hand, but Mineta dodged.

However, Mineta soon offered his hand as if he was the one who took the initiative.

"Eh?"

Hawk was surprised that Mineta could dodge his speed, but he smiled, then said as he reached his hand, "You're interesting."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Is it!" Hawk smiled, then said, "But you don't need to work that hard since our number one hero is around, right, Endeavor-san?"

"Hmph!" Endeavor snorted and looked away.

"You don't need to worry. I just want to take it easy and have a fun and relaxing internship," Mineta said with a smile.

"Haha, that's good." Hawk smiled and said, "I like you."

"...sorry, I like a beautiful woman."

"...that's not what I mean."

Hawk was speechless, watching Mineta, who was running away.

"What are you doing here? If you come to interrupt us, then congratulations, you have reached your goal." Endeavor didn't have the patience to talk with Hawk.

"Oh, here, I come with a good book to introduce you! Here! Read it, Endeavor-san! If we can implement this book into reality, then our job as a hero will be easier."

Hawk spoke excitedly as he gave Endeavor a book.

While Endeavor was confused, he still accepted the book because he knew that even if Hawk might seem carefree, Hawk would never do something meaningless.

Their talk was short, and Hawk didn't stay too long.

Hawk took off and flew far away.

Mineta looked at the book in Endeavor's hand, and his expression became thoughtful.
