Chapter 167: Future
Using his powerful legs, Mineta ran away without hesitation.
"..." Everyone.
Whether it was All-Might, Recovery Lady, or Nezu, they were silent and dumbfounded. They had thought that a battle that would shake the world would happen in front of them. They thought they would be able to see the struggle of Mineta against the number one hero. They thought that they would be able to see how he would be able to change All-Might's position in the future.
This was how Nezu and Recovery Lady thought since, except for All-Might, neither of them thought Midoriya could become the next symbol of peace.
However, Mineta was different. While they had to say that he wasn't perfect and he seemed to have a close relationship with several women, his power was undoubted, and no one could deny he was powerful.
If one was asked what the requirement was to become the symbol of peace, there was only one answer.
Powerful strength.
A power that was enough to defeat any evil.
This was the most important thing to become the symbol of peace.
While Mineta's power was quite strange, he had the possibility to become the next symbol of peace by using his "Quirk." With his creativity, potential, hard work, and wit, everyone felt, including All-Might, this young man might be able to change All-Might as the next symbol of peace.
This was also why they thought he wanted to challenge All-Might.
Mineta also had been provoking All-Might, telling him that he was going to defeat him as if running away wasn't an option for him. He also didn't face the exit and faced the opposite of the exit, so no one thought that he would run away.
Yet he deceived everyone.
Mineta ran away from All-Might with Momo in his arms without hesitation. He also deliberately faced the opposite side of the exit so that when All-Might appeared, this big guy wouldn't block his way, and he could run away just by twisting his body.
Using the moment All-Might was dumbfounded, Mineta ran away without hesitation.
Whether Recovery Lady, Nezu, or All-Might needed time to proceed with what was happening. If other teachers and students saw what was happening, they would also react similarly.
After all, who would expect this guy would run away?!
"......"
All-Might was stunned for a while before he quickly chased after them!
"Wait!"
All-Might had several "Quirks," but the one he used the most was his supernatural physical abilities, which made him able to move at a fast speed and an incredible strength, which was enough to blast many things.
Chasing after Mineta was an easy thing for him.
A single leap was enough for him to close the distance between them.
Even if his body was burdened with the bracelet that weighed him down, it was nothing for him.
Yet he didn't expect, Momo, who was in Mineta's arms suddenly, to look at him with sunglasses and throw several things at him.
"?!"
All-Might's body tensed before he quickly protected his eyes as he tried to look away, but it was too late!
*BOOOOM!*
Several flashbangs with more power than the one at the Sports Festival exploded at the same time, turning the world white.
"Ugh!"
All-Might was blinded by the light.
Recovery Lady and Nezu were the same.
The three of them had never expected Momo would attack at this moment!
Compared to Mineta, Momo's existence was somewhat forgotten, and no one was looking at her, but they knew Momo was also one of the students with the greatest potential among all the students in Yuuei.
Her "Quirk" was just too overpowered!
However, in the original, she didn't know how to use her "Quirk" well, and she also lacked the judgment to use her "Quirk," which made her reaction slow. She might be smart, but she was indecisive and wasn't fit to become a leader.
The reason why she became a leader in the original was that no one was smart enough to lead everyone.
As for the strongest such as Midoriya, Todoroki, or Bakugou, they were too arrogant, thinking that they could solve everything on their own, and charged forward toward the opponents, ignoring the rest, which left all the messy things to Momo.
However, it is different now.
Momo didn't need to think. She just had to believe in him, so she left everything to him, and all she did was support him.
If she did this, she would lose her individuality.
However, that wasn't the truth.
It was because he was by her side that she wanted to be spoiled, and she believed in her man.
As expected, when the world turned white, and All-Might became blind, Mineta didn't let go of this chance and used one of his strongest moves without hesitation.
"Grape Maiden!"
The purple substance under his feet suddenly grew into a giant iron maiden.
Unlike All-Might, Nezu and Recovery Lady had recovered, and they were dumbfounded by Mineta's vicious move.
Mineta didn't hold back and used all of his power to defeat All-Might when All-Might was at a disadvantage. He didn't give mercy and opened his fangs when All-Might was at its most vulnerable moment.
His purpose was clear, and it was to defeat All-Might!
The two had sweat on their foreheads, thinking everyone had been playing by him. When they thought he would fight for real, he would run away, but when they thought he would run away, he would fight with all of his might.
The massive iron maiden was about to swallow All-Might, and it was impossible to stop.
The two had thought that Mineta had already won this fight, but All-Might, who was still blind, started to think about a lot of things.
Was he going to be defeated this easily?
All-Might knew that once he was caught by Mineta's substance, his chance to escape would almost zero since he had heard from Midoriya's story about how Mineta's substance had the ability to absorb the shock.
In other words, brute power was almost useless in front of his substance.
While All-Might didn't really want to say this, Mineta was simply his nemesis. It was as if he appeared in this world to take down his place.
Did he feel sad?
No.
Instead, he felt happy.
He felt happy that he wasn't alone, and he knew that it was good to have someone he could entrust to the future except for Midoriya.
After all, it is impossible to predict the future.
While All-Might wanted to entrust the future to Midoriya, the inheritor of "One-For-All," if someone else appeared, he didn't mind entrusting that future to someone else.
It also included the boy in front of him.
So, he wasn't going to be taken down so easily!
Mineta suddenly felt his body shivering, and he felt danger was about to befall their direction, which made him change his direction to the side, dodging.
As expected, a powerful gush suddenly destroyed everything on the path, turning everything in the surroundings into a ruin.
All-Might might be blind for a moment because of the flashbangs, but his fighting experience was better than anyone. He might appear weak and as if his power was lowered, but it was because Midoriya was there.
If he didn't appear weak, then Midoriya's time to shine wouldn't appear, and Midoriya's existence would be blinded by him, so even if he didn't want to, his power needed to be nerfed in the original.
However, this time was different.
His opponent was Mineta, and he didn't hold back.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!*
"......"
When the dust and wind disappeared, there was this giant pothole in the road.
Mineta, Momo, Nezu, and Recovery Lady were in silence, and their eyes and mouths were wide open. Everything in the vicinity had disappeared as if being nuked, but all of them knew everything was because of All-Might's punch.
"Mineta-boy, you have said that you'll defeat me, right?"
All-Might showed a bright smile and said confidently, "But if this is your all, it is impossible for you to defeat me."
"........"
Mineta blinked his eyes and thought that he would definitely bring down this mass of pride, telling him that his time was over.
