Chapter 30: Two fishes jump into the net happily
While lying on the ground, Mineta closed his eyes, reflecting on his previous actions. He must admit that he was quite reckless in fighting the 0-point robot, but it was a rare chance for him to fight against a giant robot, so he didn't hesitate to fight it.
However, if Kodai and Kendo weren't by his side, he wouldn't be this reckless and planned everything carefully.
Yet when he saw Kodai's "Quirk," he just couldn't help but want to release all the emotions he had bottled up in one go. He must admit that his life in this world was quite eventful and challenging.
He was lucky that he had met Ibara, who didn't care about his appearance but instead about his personality.
However, the temptation of power was delicious.
The moment he smashed the giant robot-like egg was so satisfying that he couldn't help but shout out loud.
It was like the blood of his primordial ancestor had awakened.
In a time when the earth wasn't safe, everyone had to fight each other to get more resources, forcing them to be bathed with blood and rage.
Peacetime was no longer there, and it made him realize a crazy thought which might never happen in his pacifist thought.
"THE TEST IS OVER!!!!!"
Mineta stretched his hands while he was still lying on the ground.
"Mineta, you alright?"
Mineta didn't stand up and only saw Kodai and Kendo looking down at him.
"Sorry, my legs are weak. I need time to rest for a while."
Kodai and Kendo sighed in relief when they heard his answer.
"Really, you made us worried, you know?"
"Mm!"
"Come on. Let me help you."
Mineta looked at Kodai and Kendo, who stretched their hands at him. He looked at them for a while in a daze before Kendo and Kodai took his hand, pulled him from the ground, and helped him to stand up.
They might be girls, but their strength wasn't lost to any guys.
He also naturally put his hands around their shoulders, so he could walk more comfortably.
<As Kendo Itsuka has taken the initiative to hold your hand, you have received the "Ultimate Eyes" ability (Intermediate)>
<As Kodai Yui has taken the initiative to hold your hand, you have received a "Spin Manipulation" ability (Beginner)>
"....."
Mineta was speechless.
Really?
He felt that the system was so unreasonable and amazing at the same time. He thought that receiving a reward for holding hands was just one time, and with Ibara only, but he didn't expect two girls would give him rewards at the same time.
If it was in the past, it might be hard for him to do so.
However, the girls would jump and pull their pants at him without hesitation now.
'Well, I'm still a virgin, though.'
He threw this perverted thought into the gutter and said, "Thanks, but I am feeling better now."
"Don't force yourself. Let us help you, alright? You were so crazy before."
Kendo must admit this guy was amazing, especially when he smashed the 0-point robot into pieces.
"Mm!"
Kodai nodded.
"I couldn't do that without your help, though."
This was the truth since it was impossible to make that attack without their help.
Kodai helped him to make a gigantic flail, and Kendo helped him to jump into the air.
The word "impossible" might be exaggerated, but it would be hard for him to do so alone with his current abilities.
Kodai and Kendo smiled and felt slightly shy, but they must admit it felt good that they could become part of the combination attack before.
"Do you think this 0-robot will give us a point?" Kendo suddenly asked.
"Probably, since we're helping all the candidates in this district, even this robot will give us a 0-point. It might give us a rescue point."
Kendo and Kodai were surprised and only realized it.
While the three talked to each other, the teachers in the monitor room were amazed.
"Amazing!"
"Yeah, he can work with other students in that limited time to defeat that 0-point robot."
"No, what I think was amazing about him was how he could lead two students he didn't know to believe in him and defeat the 0-point together. He has the quality of a leader."
They needed and agreed.
"However, I must admit his mastery over a "Quirk" is amazing."
They nodded again and wouldn't expect that his "Quirk" would originally come from plucking a sticky ball from his hair. Yet even with such a "Quirk," he was able to develop his ability to create such a giant flail.
The boy, who could smash the 0-point robot with one fist, was amazing, but that was it. After all, his "Quirk" was powerful, and it was something natural to be able to do that feat. Unfortunately, he couldn't control his "Quirk" and hurt himself.
They had heard how to hurt the boy from Recovery Girl, which made them wonder whether his quality of hero as a hero was really that amazing or he was just stupid.
If Recovery Girl wasn't there, what did you think would happen?
Yet no one said anything since the boy did all of that to save a girl, and as a hero, it was something natural to save people, even if they hurt themselves.
While the boy was amazing, the other boy was more pleasing to the eyes.
His leadership, creativity, mastery over "Quirk," decisiveness, naming sense, etc., made them have a good impression on him. While they must admit he still lacked experience, he oozed the potential to become a top hero.
On the other hand, the man with rabbit-ear-like hair seemed to have a complicated mood. However, he shook his head since he knew how amazing the "Quirk" of the boy, who he showed favoritism, and he didn't think that boy would lose to this boy.
Even if this boy was able to develop his "Quirk" further since this man believed in the power of that "Quirk."
Yet Mineta didn't care what this man thought. Instead, he realized Kendo had started to call him by his first name.
"Are you calling me by my first name now?"
"What? Weren't you the one who told us to call you by your first name when we succeeded in entering the "Yuuei?" Kendo said with a smile.
After defeating the 0-point robot, it was only time to announce that they had become a "Yuuei High School."
"Don't cry at me if you fail later, Itsuka."
Mineta wasn't sure, but he felt he was talking to his male friend instead of a girl when he talked with Kendo.
"Hahaha, if I don't get accepted, treat me to a lot of delicious foods in Kamakura later."
"Okay, if I don't get accepted, then treat me to something in Chiba."
"Then, it's a promise."
The two knew where they were living after they talked, so they naturally joked with each other.
"Yui-san, is it alright for me to call you that?" Mineta then looked at Yui.
Unlike Kendo, who was friendly and like a guy in a girl's boy, Yui was more reserved and "probably" introverted, so he added "-san" in her name in case she didn't like the casualness between them.
"Mm, Minoru-san." Yui was a bit shy, but she nodded. Still, she must admit she felt slightly annoyed when she was ignored by the two of them, but that feeling vanished without a trace when he called her by her first name.
Kendo looked thoughtfully at Mineta, then asked, "By the way, how about we exchange our contacts? Do you have LIME?"
"Mm!" Kodai nodded.
The two then looked at Mineta at the same time.
"....."
Mineta blinked his eyes and looked at the two girls before he said, "I do have it."
Two fishes jumped into his net without hesitation, so why should he hesitate?
The three exchanged contacts and formed a group on LIME since they knew their relationship would be long-lasting.
