章 242: Traitor

As for what had happened during training camp and Kamina Ward, Yuuei decided to make a drastic move, telling all the students to live in the dorm inside the school.

In order to protect everyone better, the school decided to do so.

After that incident, Aizawa, All-Might, and Vlad went to visit the house of their students one by one to tell the parents of the students, asking their permission since this change would definitely surprise them. They also needed to explain what had happened at the training camp, yet to their surprise; no one seemed to refuse the change. Instead, the parents appeared to be excited, and they were also asking, "Is Mineta also going to live in the dorm?"

While the teachers felt a bit surprised, they nodded since before Aizawa, Vlad, and All-Might went to visit various students, they visited Mineta's house first. It might sound strange, but without a doubt, even if he didn't become the symbol of peace officially, he was the light of everyone.

This country. No, this world was shrouded by a black cloud.

Everyone could feel it, especially when they thought about Hokusai.

All-For-One might have been caught, but Hokusai was still on the outside.

Hokusai's might and eloquently weren't something that one could think of, and they knew the only person that could do something about this supervillain was Mineta since even All-Might could do nothing against him.

If their children could stay with Mineta, the parents of the students would be more than happy to do it.

However, not everyone could be happy, and two special students are under strict warning from All-Might and Aizawa since what they were doing was stupid, and if Mineta wasn't strong, many would die, including All-Might, the rest of the heroes, and many people in the Kamina Ward.

The parents of the two students could only fall into silence and looked at their children in a complicated mood.

However, it had nothing to do with Mineta.

One day before the move to the dorm, he had already returned to his rental house, but he didn't stay there and went to Yuuei since Nezu had something to talk about with him.

"What's wrong, Nezu-sensei? If it's a sculpture, I am sorry, but I have decided to retire."

"I know." Nezu looked at Mineta in a complicated mood, then said, "But you know, there's no need for you to retire from the All-Tuber, right?"

Yes, Mineta has retired from All-Tuber. He made his announcement the night after All-Might, Aizawa, and the madam president visited him. He had been avoiding his All-Tuber after the incident in Kamina Ward.

To be honest, after that incident, the number of his subscribers exploded.

It might sound like a fantasy, but his subscribers had almost reached one hundred million or more.

Almost everyone in the world had subscribed to his channel, and all of them commented on many of his videos, asking about his condition, and some were still amazed by his skill at fishing and many other types of arts.

Yet, no one would expect him to announce his retirement, so he could focus on learning to become a hero.

His decision was difficult, but while many cried and felt that he shouldn't retire since he could still study and make a video, many thought it was appropriate since All-Might had retired.

Someone needed to take All-Might's place to become the next symbol of peace.

It was better for Mineta to focus on his goal of becoming a hero.

Yet, many were also wondering whether it was okay to rely on the young man to maintain such peace, especially when many heroes still existed.

Endeavor, Hawk, and many others.

There were many heroes in this country, and they were all veterans that had been working for many years as a hero, yet why did they rely on Mineta?

Mineta looked at Nezu and asked, "If I didn't stop, you should be able to imagine what would happen to me, right?"

Nezu fell into silence, but he knew that if Mineta didn't stop and continue with his activity as an All-Tuber, many would rebuke him for doing something useless when everyone was in misery.

In other words, as long as there was something unpleasant, everything would be blamed on him since, without a doubt, he was the most famous figure in this country.

No, the world now.

With his young age, power, and appearance, he instantly became the brightest star in this world.

While many might say that appearance might not be important as a hero, everyone was more than happy to see someone with a good appearance than not, right?

Even the number one hero in the United States, "Star and Stripe," also talked about him, showing that such a young man might be able to become the next All-Might, or even better, so one should be able to know what would happen if he spent his time without changing and just continued with his channel, right?

"While it is a shame that I can't continue with my hobby, I feel that it is more troublesome if I receive a lot of bashing for doing what I love. I am afraid that I will start to hate the thing, which I love, so I decided to retire." He stretched his hands high as if the burden on his shoulders had disappeared.

"Sorry." Nezu could only lower his head and apologize.

"What are you sorry for? This is my decision and...." He looked at Nezu and asked, "This isn't the reason why you call me here, right?"

Unlike All-Might, which was full of muscles, even if Mineta might seem nonchalant and even lazy, his head was brighter and sharper than anyone.

"You should be able to guess my intention to put everyone in the dorm, right?" Nezu stared at Mineta and asked him straight to the point.

Mineta didn't answer Nezu's question but slowly sipped the grape juice, which originated from Bordeaux, then said hesitantly, "...you think there is a traitor among the student."

"Yes." Nezu's expression was heavy, and he said, "Unlike you, there is a chance that the others might be traitors."

"Then, shouldn't you also tell All-Might's inheritor, too, since there is no way for him to be the traitor, right?"

"What do you think will happen if I tell him?" Nezu asked with a laugh.

If Nezu told Midoriya, then he was afraid all of this talk would be exposed directly.

"...did you only tell me?"

"Yes."

Mineta rubbed his temple and asked, "Why me?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious? Because I trust you, and I don't think you're the traitor." Nezu had a blind confidence that Mineta definitely wasn't the traitor, especially when he thought about the incident in the Kamino Ward. "Also, your girlfriend is in Class 1-B. You are the one that can communicate with Class 1-A and Class 1-B naturally without being found out."

"....."

Mineta didn't answer Nezu for a moment as if he was deep in thought. Then, "...while I can't deny it, there is a possibility that there is a traitor among us, but I still believe that everyone is innocent." He stood up and walked away as if he was angry.

"Mineta-kun!"

Mineta stopped at the door of Nezu's office and said firmly, "So, I will do my best to prove that everyone is innocent. They're definitely not traitors as you believe."

"...."

Nezu stared at Mineta's back for a moment. His eyes and lips trembled before he bowed his head.

"Please."

Mineta didn't answer Nezu and just walked away, entering the dark path where there was no return before his cold expression turned into indifference as if nothing had happened.

Traitor?

He didn't care about that since, sooner or later, everything in this world would be dominated by him.
