The sun was about to set, and the twilight was about to come.
However, this boy didn't intend to move from his spot and stared at the reflection of the sun on the sea.
The orange sea somehow calmed him down.
The scenery before him was beautiful, but his heart was restless, like the waves on the sea currently.
He was confused, and he wasn't sure what to do.
When he woke up, he suddenly became a different person.
Even though he received the memory of this boy, he felt quite weird since his existence was mixed with this boy, so after he had woken up, he sat down on the Kamakura beach for a while, trying to think about his new life.
"Minoru Mineta..."
He murmured his new name, trying to accept the reality around him.
Yet he must admit, it was harder than he had thought.
Personally, he didn't care about appearance or anything since one's appearance wasn't how people would judge someone.
As long as they are clean, neat, and smell nice, the majority of people will have a good impression.
It was like a book.
Someone would be more interested in new and clean books instead of dirty and dusty books, right?
His appearance was quite acceptable, and his hair, which was like a mohawk with four clumps of balls on the top, was also quite okay, but he wasn't okay with his height. Even if he didn't want to know, the memory from the previous Minoru Mineta told him everything. He knew his height was around 108 cm, and it definitely was far from being called tall.
He thought his appearance was unique, but it seemed he wasn't the only one who had a unique appearance.
When he was sitting on the beach, he saw many unique people along the street.
He saw people with distinctive features all over their bodies, which was hard to believe if he didn't see them with his own eyes. He saw someone with wings, a machine on their legs, or even someone whose appearance was like a snapping turtle.
He wondered what was happening, and he was dumbfounded again, but from the memories of the previous Minoru Mineta, he realized that everything was common sense, and everyone had become like this.
When he thought about this matter, he was glad that even if his height was short, his appearance was normal. He looked like a normal human, and he definitely wasn't ugly.
However, the previous Minoru Mineta was quite perverted, had many bad personalities, and a not-so-good reputation in the school, so his face had always shown a frown, making his face slightly depraved.
The only thing he was glad about was that Mineta had never touched his "wee-wee" to do something strange.
Mineta was a clean and pure boy who only wanted to become popular with girls. He might often buy a gravure book, but he had never touched porn.
After all, in today's society, it would be hard for one to read such a forbidden video or book.
He also didn't intend to buy one since, in this situation, he wondered what he should do with his life since this world was different from his previous world.
How could he have time to think about something perverted?
Unlike in his previous world, where a superpower only appeared in the movie or story, in this world, a superhuman ability was normal, and the majority of people had it.
People call this ability a "Quirk."
As for how "Quirk" appeared in this world, everything had to return to the past.
The first metahuman was a newborn baby from Qing Qing City, China, and this baby was capable of radiating light on his body.
Then, after that baby, everyone started to gain superhuman ability. It was similar to a snowball, and it got bigger and bigger. No one could stop it until 80% of the human population had a "Quirk."
He also had his own "Quirk," and frankly, he felt complex about his "Quirk" since it couldn't help much in his life.
The name of his "Quirk" was "Pop Off."
It gave him the ability to produce sticky spheres from his hair that he could pluck painlessly. Those spheres would adhere to any surface they come into contact with except himself.
He had tried it several times before since it was a unique experience for him since he had never had a superhuman ability in his previous life.
Yet frankly, he wanted some low-key practical abilities instead of this fancy ability. It might be hard to imagine if he didn't give an example, but if he gave an example, it was like an ability to increase his IQ, an ability to remember everything, and an ability to have a long-lasting age or a healthy body.
Those powers might not be fancy, but they were as useful as fuck.
However, he knew that ability couldn't be changed, so there was no need to think too much, and he just accepted the reality.
"Still, what should I do?"
In this unfamiliar world, he didn't have a direction and didn't know what to do.
If his "Quirk" was powerful, even if he didn't have a direction in his life, he could live leisurely without a problem.
However, it didn't mean he had given up.
Still, even if his "Quirk" wasn't strong, he also wanted to do something to improve himself.
Even if he had become Mineta Minoru, it didn't mean he would become a perverted boy who would just drown in the pond of porn books.
As for why he didn't use lake or sea as a metaphor, with his height, he was afraid he might drown in a small pond.
"I wonder if limb lengthening surgery is useful."
He rubbed his short legs and wondered how high he could increase his height with surgery.
However, he knew he wouldn't be able to do such surgery soon since it was expensive.
The financial ability of his parents was average.
They weren't rich, nor were they poor. They were like any other person in this country, working as a salaryman together, leaving him mostly alone. However, it was all good since he didn't really want them to notice his change.
His parents' matter aside, he knew he had to do something else, such as planning his future.
Still, he knew that even if he wasn't tall and his "Quirk" was quite unique, he had to learn, so he could get into a good school.
Fortunately, the head of the previous Mineta wasn't bad and even smart, along with his transmigration onto this body, making his head clearer and brighter.
If he usually needed to learn something complex for two hours, he could do it in half an hour or less now.
After he accepted the reality, he stood up and patted his dusty bum before he picked up his bag since he knew he had to go home. He decided to study first before he tried to practice with his "Quirk."
After all, he had a superhuman ability, so he was quite curious about what he could do with it. He pulled the sphere from his head and looked at it for a while before he played basketball with it.
He walked while he dribbled the purple sphere from his head, thinking that his body was nimble, quite elastic, and easy to move.
'Is this the reason why I am smart?'
He wasn't sure, but when he was about to walk, suddenly he saw a screen-like thing inside his head. He sucked a deep breath, wondering whether he had a cheat, system or something else like those in the various stories in his original world.
He was excited and thought he could change something, but suddenly his heart almost stopped when he saw the name and the description of the system.
<Congratulations, you have received a "Dating System">
<Love will make you powerful>
<Please do your best and have a lot of lovers>
"....."
Mineta took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He looked at the high wall around three meters on his right side. He put down the purple sphere he had taken out from his head on the ground before he jumped on it as he had jumped on the trampoline.
His jump became higher, and he landed smoothly on the top of the wall.
The sun was about to set, but even so, the scenery was still beautiful, yet he didn't have the heart to enjoy this scenery.
Mineta looked at his 108 centimeters tall body.
He took a deep breath, and there was one thing that he had to say now.
"Fuck."
I just tried to make this one since I felt it would be a fun story, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, try it.
"Good morning, Minetacchi!"
"Minetashi, did you read this week's Heroine magazine?"
Mineta was sitting at his desk right on the protagonist's seat, near the window and second from the back. His eyes were full of melancholy and gloominess, showing his condition was far from the good that he even ignored his two best friends.
He received a system that was able to make his life easier in this world, yet this system was difficult to use.
It was so tough to use this system because of his situation.
He sighed and somehow felt like a prince on the "Frog Prince."
Yet unlike the frog prince, he didn't have a princess who could kiss him and break his curse.
'But it is impossible for me to give up!'
While he wondered whether he could meet his princess, he rechecked his system.
Mineta Minoru.
Charm: 5 (You might look okay, but your height reduces your overall appearance. Yet if someone looks at you closely, they will realize how cute you are).
Physical ability: 6 (healthier than ordinary people).
Intelligence: 8 (smarter than most people).
Quirk: "Pop Off (Beginner)."
Points: 1000 points.
Money: 357,500 yen.
The average status of someone was five points, and many of his statuses had exceeded many people's.
The only problem was his height.
If he had an average height, his charm would reach six points since his face wasn't bad and even cute. He might seem quite narcissistic, but as long as he didn't show his deprived and perverted expression, he was okay.
Still, the system allowed him to see detailed information about his body, including his assets.
There was even a "store" where he could buy various things.
<Item: Data information - 1,000 points>
<Item: Electric baton - 5,000 points>
<Quirk: Elastic tongue - 10,000 points>
<Charm: 1 point - 50,000 points>
<Height: 1 cm - 1,000 points>
<Intelligence: 1 point - 100,000 points>
<Money: 100 yen - 1 points>
<Physical ability: 1 point - 50,000 points>
<Skill: Fishing (Beginner) - 1,000 points>
<Skill: Writer (Intermediate) - 10,000 points>
<Skill: Cooking (Expert) - 50,000 points>
<Skill: Piano (Master) - 100,000 points>
He must admit that the system was amazing, and he almost drooled when he saw the rewards, yet he must admit it was difficult to gain a point on the system. However, if he wanted to buy something in the "store," it was necessary to gain a point.
The only problem was how to get the points on the system.
The way to get to the point was to date a girl.
By dating someone, he could gain a system.
However, he couldn't date a random girl. Instead, he had to date a girl who was able to trigger his system.
When he dated someone, he would get a reward, and he would also get a daily point.
Based on the things or achievements he had done with his girlfriend, he would also get a reward or points.
This was an amazing system since he would get a reward as long as he dated a girl.
However, there was one big problem.
He was Mineta Minoru, the famous pervert and the shortest guy in the school.
Still, he didn't think it was a problem since he believed he could get a girlfriend even if he was Mineta Minoru.
He might be short, and his reputation was so stinky since he was known as one of the three legendary perverts in this middle school.
The only problem was he wasn't sure whether there was someone who could trigger his system.
He was living in Kamakura, in the Kanagawa prefecture, which was one of the prefectures with the highest population. Yet when he walked in this morning, he saw many girls, women, and others, but his system did nothing. He was silent and wasn't sure what to do, but he knew that there was nothing that he could do.
After all, as long as he didn't meet any girls that were capable of triggering his system, he could do nothing.
As for the feeling or whatever, he had never thought anything since, with his charm, it would take a while for someone to accept him.
He wasn't a handsome prince with a powerful "Quirk" or whatever. Instead, he was a "Frog Prince." Even worse, he wasn't even a prince since, unlike the prince, he wasn't rich.
Yet he didn't think he was bad and even felt lower than others since he believed he could get a girlfriend.
After all, even if his height was short, his charm wasn't that bad.
At least he was normal.
In this world, because of the "Quirk," many people have a deformed appearance. Some people had the face of reptiles, rats, or many other strange animals.
It was already fortunate enough for someone to have a normal appearance.
He might be short, and his hairstyle was like a strange mohawk, but even so, he was okay and acceptable.
Lastly, he also had experience in dating in his previous life, so even if his image as a pervert was still there, he felt he would be alright.
When his two best friends approached him, he looked at them, who were also as unpopular as him. Yet suddenly, his system attracted his attention.
*Ding!*
<Ibara Shiozaki>
<Charm: 7>
<Pass!>
He was surprised and looked around before he saw a girl on the first floor, near the flower park of the school.
The girl was quite cute and also had good growth on her body, but the most noticeable feature of this girl was her green vines-like hair.
'Ibara Shiozaki?'
He realized that it might be her first time seeing this girl.
The previous Mineta was a pervert, so he was only interested in the most beautiful and sexy girl in his school.
On the other hand, Ibara Shiozaki might be cute, but she wasn't the most beautiful and even quite unique, especially in her hair.
There were many beautiful girls, yet why was she the only one who could trigger his system?
What was the difference between this girl and the others?
He looked at the "store" and found the "data information" item. He knew that this item could be used to get information about anyone, anything, in a detailed manner.
However...
'It's expensive.'
He couldn't help but frown since he only had 1,000 points.
If he bought the "data information," it would immediately empty his points.
'No, I don't need it.'
He shook his head, then pulled his two friends near the window and asked them in a whisper, "Hey, Kota, Tanaka, do you know who is she?"
"Who?" 2x
The two stretched their heads and saw a beautiful girl in the flower garden of their school. They somehow understood why this guy had been ignoring them and showed contempt since, among the three of them, Mineta was the pervert.
If Mineta knew what they were thinking, he would smack their heads at this moment.
Still, the two saw Ibara Shiozaki for a moment, then looked at Mineta.
"Mineta, do you like this girl?"
"Well, you might not know it, but Ibara is a kind of weird girl, you know?"
Mineta looked at Kota, who was the famous database in this school. He knew that this guy remembered all the names of the girls in this school, especially the cute ones.
"Do you know her, Kota?"
"Of course."
Kota pushed the frame of his glasses. "Ibara Shiozaki. She's from a 3-A class and mostly stays in the flower garden at the school. She is cute and has a few friends, but she isn't that popular."
"Why?" Even Tanaka was curious.
Kota hesitated for a moment before he whispered to Kota and Mineta. "She is a fanatical religious girl, and she often preaches to everyone. Well... that's it."
The meaning was clear.
In other words, this girl was weird.
"...."
Mineta rubbed his sphere-like hair speechlessly. He was wondering whether the reason why Ibara could trigger his system was because of her uniqueness. He took a deep breath and said confidently.
"Isn't that good? A weird girl and a perverted boy. Isn't that a pair match of heaven?"
'A pair of matches of heaven?' 2x
Kota and Tanaka were lost for words, but strangely enough, why did they feel Mineta was more handsome somehow?
"I will go first."
Mineta walked out of his class.
"Huh? Where are you going?" Kota couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Get my girl," Mineta said bluntly.
"..." 2x
Kota and Tanaka looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They followed him since they were afraid they had to call an ambulance for their friends.
Starts slow...
