Future

"Even if you die, you can't let him die!"

Those words were uttered by many leaders of this country.

Mineta was the only salvation for everyone, especially when he was able to stop two hydrogen bombs.

The first one was hard to see since he brought the bomb underground, but with the second bomb, everyone saw all of it. They saw him bring the bomb into the stratosphere, so it wouldn't kill anyone.

It was like how he saved the Kamina Ward from Tuman Bomba, which was created by Hokusai.

As of now, no one can stop Hokusai except for Mineta.

As for All-Might? Or the inheritor of One-For-All?

"...."

No one thought that Midoriya was able to do something to Hokusai.

Even Sir Night Eye used his power to read the future. Unfortunately, the only future he could see when Midoriya faced Hokusai was only dead.

Unlike the original, Midoriya wasn't hurt and didn't pass out, but he had been communicating with the previous generations of One-For-All in a complicated mood. Yet, he knew that he couldn't defeat Hokusai. Still, as for All-For-One, or Shigaraki, he could face them.

To be honest, before, he had always thought of Mineta as an invisible enemy, someone that he needed to defeat so he could become a number one hero, yet when he saw that Mineta had passed out and hadn't woken up, he felt that the whole world tried to squeeze him to death. The pressure which came from thinking that he should protect everyone was so unbearable that it was so painful.

When Mineta didn't wake up, Midoriya quickly realized the importance of Mineta.

Did he always bear this burden?

That thought crossed his mind as he was thinking about what to do, especially when many people said that he had become the target of Shigaraki. Many people saw how he was being caught by Shigaraki, and the others villains also helped to convey everything by telling them that he was targeted.

Midoriya was also affected by this talk and wondered whether he would be targeted by Shigaraki, All-For-One, and Hokusai. With the three of them together, could he stop them?

"Izuku..."

His mother could only cry and couldn't do anything except that since she knew she was powerless.

In front of Mineta's room, there were many people. Their expressions were pale and drained as if they hadn't rested and eaten for a few days.

Many days had passed since that war, and Mineta hadn't woken up.

If he doesn't wake up, then what should we do?

"Dammit, where is he? Hasn't he woken up?!"

The roar of someone startled everyone, and they looked at Bakugou, who was being dragged by several people, but even so, he still charged forward. "There is no way for him to lose!" His body was full of bandages, but he tried to go to Mineta's room since he didn't want to believe that Mineta had fallen.

"He isn't dying, bastard!"

"SHUT UP!"

Mirko and Kendo smashed Bakugou away, causing everyone to feel speechless. However, the rest of the girls also thought the same and wanted to beat Bakugou up for screaming. Here, they were worried to death about him, yet someone came and screamed like this place was a market.

Mineta's body was frail now, yet it wasn't normal since he had been fighting against Hokusai and stopped various dangerous things which happened in the war, so watching Bakugou, who suddenly appeared and screamed, they were full of irritation and wanted to beat him up.

Fortunately, the rest also reacted and pulled them away.

"How... how is he?" Bakugou asked, trying to hold back his tears.

At this moment, Endeavour, along with his family and Hawk, also came since they were worried about Mineta.

Without a doubt, in that battle, if Mineta didn't help them, then all of them would die.

Still, Endeavour's wife, Rei Todoroki, looked at her daughter and then at the group of women in front of Mineta's room. In her heart, she thought that this young man must be really popular with a woman.

Did he like an older woman?

Rei couldn't help but think so since, from the story of her daughter, he seemed to like her very much. However, she quickly shook her head since this wasn't something that she should think about, especially when Mineta hadn't woken up. Yet, at the same time, she also needed to think about the happiness of her daughter, especially when she didn't want her daughter to have such a painful marriage like her.

"No, not yet. He hasn't woken up..." Momo let out a painful sigh as she wondered what she could do.

His women also showed similar distress, wondering whether there was something they could do.

Bakugou seemed in disbelief, clenching his fists as if he didn't believe it, yet he knew this was reality.

Midoriya watched Bakugou in a complicated mood, and he didn't know what to say.

Everyone was in silence, yet the most complex one would be Mineta's parents. They knew that everyone in this country could only rely on their son, yet watching their son battered, injured, and even dying almost every time caused them to feel like they were crushed. They were proud of him, yet at the same time, they were worried since someday they might see his corpse instead of his living body.

Yet, when everyone was living in terror, and no one else could solve this problem except for him, what could they say?

However, they wouldn't say anything in this matter as long as they knew his answer. As long as he had woken up, they could talk, and by then, they could ask him what he wanted to do.

Not only them but the people in this country were also anxious.

By now, whether it was Endeavour, Hawk, or any other hero, they couldn't trust them. By now, no one protected them, and they could only fight by themselves, yet they also knew they had a limit. Furthermore, they were different from a hero who received professional training. Lastly, if they were powerful enough, why should they become civilians?

Yet, even so, deep inside, they still wanted a hero to protect them, especially Mineta.

When the hypocrisy of the hero was shown, and they couldn't even believe any heroes in this country, only Mineta was their salvation.

Mineta was their sole hero.

Someone who could change everything and the one who could bring them the peace that they longed for.

Yet such a person hadn't regained consciousness, which made the entire country panic.

After all, if Mineta hadn't woken up, then who could protect them?

Many prayed, and some of them even abandoned their demo toward Endeavour and other heroes.

Yet, some of them were still fighting since the villains were more than happy with the news that Mineta hadn't regained consciousness.

In those days when everyone waited anxiously, Endeavour and Hawk were ready to start a press, talking about what their future would be. No one was missing, and they were waiting to see whether their country had a future.

At the same time, Mineta woke up.
