MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

Chapter 24: I am not a harem protagonist



Two days had passed after their stay in Musutafu, Shizuoka.

After they arrived in this city, they only went to the hotel, studied, and went to the nearby restaurant to eat.

On the other hand, their mothers, who followed them, had a blast together, shopping and visiting various places, leaving them alone in the hotel. They also weren't worried that Mineta and Ibara planned to do something they shouldn't have done since they had to take the "U.A. High School" entrance exam soon.

Naturally, their focus was always on the exam instead of something perverted.

However, even if they really did "it," their mother would just help them to take care of their children.

After all, Mineta could make his own money, and his net worth wasn't small. It could be said that he had become a rich person in this country.

Still, if Mineta knew what they were thinking, he could only sigh. He also wanted to complain about why they didn't feel worried that their children might not be accepted to the "U.A. High School."

'What if I become a "ronin"?"

(Ronin is a Japanese term for a student who has failed the entrance exam. This term originates from a samurai who doesn't have a lord, which is quite similar to those students who aren't accepted in the school).

However, he also knew whether his or Ibara's mother didn't worry much about them, considering they also had been accepted into a good and famous school in Yokohama, so even if they weren't accepted into the "U.A. High School," their future was secured.

Still, his mother aside, it was hard to get used to Ibara's mother since her mother was different from her and quite upbeat, especially when she talked with him, which made him try to avoid the situation where they were alone together since he was afraid something that shouldn't be done might happen. 

Yet he didn't think it was time for him to think about that matter since he was on in way to the "U.A. High School" with Ibara to start their exam.

Nine months had passed since they had dated each other, and he must admit that his change was huge.

Unlike his previous 149 cm, he had grown taller, and he also had become stronger.

After six months, he collected 181,000 points and used 151,000 points, leaving him with only 30,000 points.

Now, three months had passed after that time, and along with his previous points, his points had become more than 120,000 points.

As he had said before, he used 50,000 points to buy a "Hardening," giving him the ability to harden his body and sticky substance into steel-like hardness.

Frankly, steel wasn't that tough since it could be easily bent, but it was enough for now since it gave him a lethality on his adhesive substance.

After buying that ability, he used the rest of his points to increase his height and charm.

There were only 70,000 points left on him, so he used 50,000 points to add his charm to eight points and 20,000 points to increase his height to 169 cm.

His height might still be short, so after a few days, he used all the daily points he collected, increasing his height to 172 cm, which was the standard height of the harem protagonist.

His only difference from a harem protagonist was that he was more handsome since most of the harem protagonists had plain faces.

Still, many people doubted why he decided to increase his charm to eight points since 50,000 points to increase a charm definitely wasn't cheap, and wasn't it better to buy another ability or increase the mastery of his previous ability?

However, his system has always focused on getting a girl, so becoming handsome was his priority.

Lastly, he felt he was strong enough.

While it might sound arrogant, he believed that no one could kill him in this world, especially with his "Color Manipulation." Even if he wanted to escape, no one could stop him since the ability of optical illusion and invisibility was just too overbearing.

His original "Quirk," "Pop Off," also couldn't be underestimated since as long as one didn't have a flame-type or destroy-type of "Quirk," even if one was so powerful that they could blast a skyscraper so easily, they wouldn't be able to escape from his sticky substance.

His sticky substance was so sticky that you might go bald to think of a countermeasure for its stickiness.

His "Hardening" also gave him nice protection, and after ten months of training, his physical ability also had reached nine points, almost ten points, which was the peak of humanity's physical ability.

Lastly, his "Speed Augmentation" helped him to run away even faster!

When he thought about it, he must admit that all of his abilities were perfect for running away. However, when he thought about how he wanted to escape from reality around him, it was ironic that he got all those abilities.

Yet he felt safer than ever, knowing his abilities were probably the best ability to run in the world.

Except one had a warp or a teleportation ability, of course.

People with those abilities were, without a doubt, better at running away than him.

However, he was already strong enough to run away from most people in this world, and of course, he felt it was better to invest his points on his appearance more.

Having an appearance, which only 3% of the population in this world had, was astonishing.

The only people better than him were those famous public figures, hidden royal families, and few people.

Still, having his charm become eight points gave him many advantages, especially the number of his subscribers exploding directly.

'From almost two million to five million...'

He was speechless by the increase in subscribers, but the quality and content of his video were so good that it wouldn't lose to those famous shows, so this result was quite normal.

On the other hand, he was more speechless by the number of people who wanted to ask for his collaboration since it took time to reject them.

As for the endorsement, he had a leeway to reject a few since a few companies didn't suit his image on the screen.

The only problem was a stalker since he could see that many people tried to interrupt him when he took his video, and some even tried to follow him to his house.

Once again, fortunately, his abilities were good for running away.

He also changed the color of his hair, so no one would think it was him, considering his trademark was his beautiful light blue hair, which reminisced everyone of the gentle color of the lake.

When he left the hotel, he wore a facemask and went to the "U.A. High School" with Ibara by taxi.

As for their mothers, they stayed in the hotel, waiting for them to finish their exams.

"Send us to the "U.A. High School."

"Oh? Are you going to take the entrance exam with your girlfriend, boy?"

"Yes."

Mineta smiled through his eyes.

"Haha, then, I will be honored to take the candidate of hero to their destination." The driver laughed.

Being a hero is a respectful job, and whenever one hears that someone is a hero, they will treat you with the best treatment.

While the driver continued to talk, Mineta looked at Ibara, who frowned, showing that she was nervous. Still, he must admit that after their first meeting, he could see many changes in her.

Her height increased, and her body grew well.

However, whether it was her face or hair, they were still the same.

Meanwhile, he has changed the most, including his hairstyle to a mullet with bangs, while maintaining his trademark purple-colored hair. 

As for why he changed it into black, it was just his mood.

"Sorry, sir, but can you stop talking for a moment? We want to calm down for a moment to focus on our exam."

Suddenly, Mineta said.

"Ah, sorry, sorry." The taxi driver nodded in understanding since he knew they would be nervous about the entrance exam of the "U.A. High School," but he must admit that it was nice to talk with Mineta, so it couldn't be helped that he started to talk a lot.

"Thanks."

Ibara held his hand gently.

"No problem."

The car was quiet, and only the sound of the vehicle was heard. Then, before long, they arrived at their destination.

Walking out of the taxi, Mineta paid the driver and said, "Thank you."

"It's okay. I only do my job. Good luck with your exam."

"Thanks."

Mineta nodded and looked at the "U.A. High School" in front of him, and he was ready to take his exam.

'I wonder how the exam is?'

"Minoru-kun?" Ibara looked at Mineta curiously.

"Nothing." Mineta shook his head and said, "Let's go."

"Um."

The two took the first steps into the "U.A. High School" together.
