章 113: Finish?
"Sor-Sorry!"
Uraraka apologized.
"It's okay. You don't need to apologize for that much. I am the one who has given permission to hug me."
"...."
Uraraka blushed, lowering her head, and pressed her soft cheeks shyly since she realized how bold she was.
"But at least, let me wash your clothes... Ah!"
She realized something and then asked, "Your girlfriend might misunderstand you?"
"Do you remember that?"
"You said that twice to me!"
"You don't need to say it like that, okay?"
The two laughed.
"It seems that your mood is getting better now." He patted her soft hair gently and said, "Then, I will leave first. I need to prepare."
"Un." Uraraka nodded and said, "Go and win, Mineta-kun!"
He only waved his hand without turning back.
However, Uraraka suddenly realized something.
Wasn't Midoriya his opponent?
She suddenly felt complicated, but in the end, she decided to cheer on Mineta. Partly because he had occupied most of her mind, and he was also his teammate previously. On the other hand, she could hardly imagine how Midoriya could win against Mineta, so she decided to cheer on Mineta. She felt bad for Midoriya, but it couldn't be helped, right?

"Do you need something, Endeavour-san?"
When he was about to enter the corner, he knew Endeavour didn't leave. Instead, he leaned on the wall and seemingly waited for him.
Endeavor didn't say anything and only looked at Mineta, observing him. Mineta's height was similar to his son's, but from his experience, he could tell that Mineta's body was stronger. It was like Mineta had trained his body to the limit of human capability, which was amazing. Yet the most amazing thing was the mastery over his "Quirk."
This wasn't something that a student was able to achieve.
Even if it was mastered by a student, he couldn't imagine what kind of hard work was done by Mineta.
'Or is it simply talent?'
Like All-Might, who was born to be on top of everyone, Mineta was like that.
However, his son would be like that.
His son would be the best, and the young man in front of him was someone that could force his son to move forward and become even stronger.
"You should stop with a useless thing like a romance, or else you will be left behind by Shoto."
However, Mineta only chuckled.
"Is there something funny?"
"It's okay. I have never wanted to become number one. If your son can become number one, it will be easier for me. My job won't be hard by then."
"....."
Endeavor was speechless, but he only snorted and left. "Be the champion, or else it will be too shameful for my son to lose to you." Suddenly, he thought of one hero, who had always been on his back with his lax and free attitude, which made him annoyed, yet that person was still one of the best and one of the most reliable heroes. He felt Mineta's face overlapped with that hero.
"You don't need to worry. The championship is mine."
"Hmph."
Mineta only shook his head and thought Endeavor was an overprotecting daddy.
---
Facing Mineta in front of him, Midoriya realized the difference between them. Their height was different. Unlike before, Mineta was much taller. Even though he was only 175 cm, it was already taller than him, which was only 166 cm.
On the other hand, their body's shape was also quite different.
Midoriya could see how well-shaped Mineta's body was. Even if Mineta's body might seem thin, it was packed with power. While in terms of power, he didn't think that anyone could defeat him, he didn't want to use his power on Mineta since he was afraid he might kill Mineta.
'I can't control my "Quirk," but he can control his "Quirk" as he pleases.'
Yet the most dangerous element of Mineta was his control over "Quirk."
Midoriya had never seen anyone who had such control, even on the Pro-Hero, except for the top Pro-Hero like Hawk or Endeavour.
More importantly, Mineta could defeat Todoroki instantly.
'Honestly, I can't even think how to defeat him, but...'
He knew that Mineta could shoot his substance fast enough to smash Todoroki off the stage. To be honest, he wasn't confident enough to dodge that attack.
He glanced at the corner and saw All-Might, with his thin form, standing anxiously watching him.
'I can't make him worry about me any longer. I have to win!'
His victory wasn't for himself alone but also All-Might, who had entrusted this One-For-All to him.
His victory meant a lot of things, so he had to win!
Mineta wasn't sure what Midoriya was thinking, but he had to say Midoriya's facial expression was quite rich, but it was impossible for him to lose.
No, he didn't see the possibility of losing at all in this battle.
Everyone watched this battle in excitement since they had seen their fight.
Whether it was Mineta or Midoriya, they were all-powerful.
Mineta had been in the 1st position in all events, and he could also defeat Todoroki easily.
Meanwhile, Midoriya could create such a powerful wind force with a flick of his finger.
"Midoriya."
"Yes?" Midoriya was stunned since he didn't expect Mineta would talk first.
"Is this event important to you?"
"...Yes." Midoriya didn't understand the meaning behind Mineta's question, but he said, "I have to win!"
"Even if your way is wrong?"
"..." Mineta couldn't say anything since he knew what Mineta meant. The meaning behind his question was when he decided to move forward even if he was being manipulated by Shinso. He had questioned this problem before, but he felt showing everyone about the next symbol of peace was more important.
But, really?
There has always been a chance next year, right?
Why did it have to be now?
If he could pass the next event fairly, he might not have this problem. However, he didn't think that he had done everything in a fair way. He felt he was cheating, and this was wrong!
He was in a dilemma, wondering whether he should continue, but Mineta chuckled and loved to fight this type of overthinking guy. Just a single question had always made them think so much that they started to doubt themselves.
On the other hand, Todoroki was uncute.
That guy was an idiot.
Todoroki's head was empty, and he had never thought of anything.
Mineta was too lazy to say something to Todoroki, so the best way was to defeat him as soon as possible. Still, he had to say Todoroki and Endeavor were different since, unlike the son, the father was relatively calm and collected, even if he seemed like someone who couldn't control his emotion.
"And now for this go-round of the Sports Festival. Both competitors are at the top of their class! And the world isn't big enough for both of them!"
"!?"
Midoriya awoke and was slightly slow since he was thinking too much at that moment. Now wasn't the time for him to think about this. He knew that he was wrong, but for now, he had a heavy burden, and that was to let everyone know that the new symbol of peace was here!
"Midoriya versus Mineta!
"START!"
Midoriya was quite flustered, but Mineta was as calm as ever.
Mineta shot his substance at Midoriya directly and wrapped him like he was sleeping on the sleeping bag except for the head in one movement and ended the match.
"..."
Everyone was in a daze and couldn't believe what was happening.
"Eh?"
