"Hey, Yaoyorozu, do you want to be expelled?"

Aizawa asked with a frown after he approached them.

"Ah, um..." Momo couldn't say anything. When she stood next to Mineta, she only thought that she didn't want to lose. Unlike him, she was one of four students who were accepted on through the recommendation. The pressure on her back was immense, so she used everything, but she didn't expect an accident to happen.

Mineta glanced at Momo and didn't expect her to be weak against pressure.

"Sensei, don't blame her. After all, an accident can always happen. While a hero is expected to do everything perfectly, we are also human. It is impossible for us not to make a mistake. What is important is not to make a similar mistake, right?"

Aizawa glanced at Mineta for a moment, and frankly, he was satisfied with his action. However, he didn't want to appear partial, so he let out a long sigh and scratched his long hair. "I will forgive you this time, but don't expect me to be so merciful next time. Even if you're accepted through a recommendation, if you keep a similar mistake, I won't hesitate to expel you. Also, hurry up and stand up!"

"Ah, yes..." Momo answered weakly.

While it was subtle, Mineta was almost touching Momo's buttocks. He wasn't sure whether Aizawa realized it, but he didn't want to gamble. However, Momo hadn't moved away from him, so wasn't it better for him to enjoy this moment for a while?

"You alright?"

When they stood up, Mineta asked.

"...Yes."

While Momo nodded, her voice was quite low, but suddenly, she felt her forehead lightly tapped by Mineta. She covered her forehead and subconsciously looked at him.

Momo might be 1 cm taller than him, but Mineta didn't care about such a height difference, considering how he had been in a worse situation before.

"Don't be so depressed like that. I have said before that everyone makes mistakes, right? And frankly, your "Quirk" is even better than mine. That's why I was serious during the 50-meter dash since I didn't want to lose to you."

"...You didn't want to lose to me?" Momo was dumbfounded since she didn't expect someone as amazing as him would think of her so highly.

"Of course." Mineta smiled and said, "So be confident and let's do our best on this physical test since even the next one, I won't lose to you." He raised his fist and wanted to do a fist bump.

However, Momo was slightly confused, only raising her fist after a while before she saw their fist bump each other.

Still, this gesture and his words made her smile. "I won't lose to you either!"

Mineta smiled, but her question made him almost stagger.

"By the way, why did we bump our fists before?"

"You don't know what a fist bump is?"

"Is that something popular?"

"...Say, Yaoyorozu-san, is it me, or you're coming from a wealthy family?"

"While I don't want to flaunt myself, I am coming from a Yaoyorozu family..."

Listening to the origin of Momo, Mineta could only sigh since, as expected, the Yuuei wasn't immune to nepotism.

Still, Momo kept explaining, talking continuously, since if she stopped, she would panic, and her heart would beat even faster. 'Am I sick?' When he was looking away, she pressed her cheeks together and looked away, wondering why she felt like this. Still, if she looked in the mirror at this moment, she would realize her face had turned beet red.

On the other hand, Mineta had to sigh since having a handsome face really made everything so convenient.

While Momo's accident interrupted the class for a while, it didn't lower the excitement and spirit of everyone. They talked with Mineta and asked whether Momo was alright before Aizawa told them to continue their test.

The physical test went quite smoothly.

He also easily got the best results on many tests, especially the repeated side steps and seated-to-touch, but not all of them. This result showed that he wasn't invincible and only excelled in a few areas. Yet it was normal since he didn't show all of his abilities, and his physical ability wasn't the best among everyone, considering there were many who had a "Quirk," which could enhance one's physical ability.

Momo was also similar and was right behind him all the time, but her result was stable and even among the best, especially in the distance run, since she created a scooter and beat everyone with an overwhelming victory.

While many were speechless, Momo did all of this with her "Quirk," so it was allowed.

"...You know, if I don't know, you can make that with your "Quirk," I think you're cheating."

What could he say?

He was also speechless since Momo made a scooter with her "Quirk" during the distance run!

Momo could only laugh after hearing his words. "But I won this one, right?"

".........."

Watching her cheeky smile, Mineta could only show a helpless gesture, which made her even more excited and talk with him even more, which made thinking that this girl was too easy, right?

Aizawa was satisfied with Momo's result since her "Quirk" was really that amazing.

On the other hand, while many showed remarkable results, there was one who was worse than everyone else.

This boy's result was so normal, as if he didn't have a "Quirk."

Mineta knew that this was the boy that attracted All Might's attention, but even if he knew that he didn't care since becoming a top hero had never been his dream. Instead, his dream was to have a comfortable life in this world, and Yuuei was just his stepstone.

Still, when it was the turn of a boy, whose name was Midoriya or something, to throw the softball, Aizawa suddenly used his "Quirk" and caused everyone to know his identity.

Leaving aside the crazy boy, who dared to break his arm for this softball throwing test, he was more cornered about the identity of his teacher.

"Eraser Head?"

Mineta couldn't help but frown at Aizawa's tricky "Quirk."

A "Quirk" to erase others' "Quirk."

It might be a tasteless "Quirk," but it was useful as fuck.

Yet he was thinking, what if he was attacked by this "Quirk"?

Could he stop it?

Fortunately, he understood Aizawa's weakness, and Aizawa was also his teacher, so it would be impossible for them to become an enemy, but if Aizawa had such a "Quirk," what if other people had such a "Quirk" too?

Still, Mineta stopped thinking about the problem since Midoriya attracted his attention because he was able to show an amazing result in his softball throwing test.

"705.3 meters?"

"That's amazing."

While Momo's softball throwing result was around 28,000 meters, considering she shot her softball with a canon, Midoriya did it with only the power of his physical ability, showing his extraordinariness to everyone.

However, the consequence was also obvious since Midoriya had broken his finger.

Mineta sighed inwardly, wondering whether it was worth breaking one's finger to complete this assignment. Still, when he thought about a stable income, he felt it should be worth it, considering the recession. Yet, even so, he must admit this boy was too extreme.

Then, soon, the test ended, and everyone gathered together.

"Time to present the result."

Aizawa pressed his smartphone-like item and showed the result to everyone through a hologram screen.

As expected, his name was in 1st place, and right behind him was Momo, and in the 3rd place was Todoroki, who was silent as ice.

Still, unexpectedly in fourth place was Bakugou, the rude boy, who suddenly snapped at Midoriya out of nowhere.

"Oh, yeah, that whole "expulsion" thing was a lie."

Aizawa suddenly said with a grin.

"....."

"WHAAAAATTTT?!"

When Momo sighed in relief quietly, Mineta couldn't help but tease her.

"Didn't you guess it already? Why did I hear a sigh of relief from you?"

"Mineta-san!" Momo blushed and pouted. She knew everything was a lie from the beginning, but when Aizawa threatened her she would be expelled, she couldn't help but be nervous, alright?

Still, he must admit that it was an eventful day, but he sighed in regret since he knew he missed a chance for Momo to take the initiative to hold his hand. However, he didn't give up since it was only his first day.

Everyone would be together for three years, and by then, he was sure he would have a comfortable life.
