296 Hero
*BOOM! BOOM!*
With the fireworks, the cultural festival officially started.
Many students were scrambling, shouting with all of their might, trying to attract customers to come to their exhibitions, especially those who came from the Business Department.
Unlike those from the Support and General Department, the Business Department knew that this was their best stage, and they needed to give their everything since they didn't want to stop at mediocrity.
Unlike the others who worshipped All-Might, and other heroes, the Business Department worshipped Nezu, an animal that was born with nothing but became one of the richest men living in the world.
While they might not be able to become like Nezu, even if they could become a tenth of him, they would be more than happy, which was why the Business Department was one of the most popular departments on the Yuuei, except for the Hero Department.
However, it had nothing to do with Class 1-A.
Mineta has been quite busy since, as the class representative for Class 1-A, he had to make sure that everything would be alright.
While his role in the performance might be only as a guitarist, he also needed to take care of the camera.
His experience as an All-Tuber was something that no one could ignore, and he also wanted to make a memory of this cultural festival.
Still, those things were easy to handle, but he also needed to take care of his women since the numbers were quite a lot.
Class 1-B also asked him to help them with the recording of their drama. After all, without a doubt, their original drama Romeo, Juliet and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of the Kings was going to become a great hit. This was their confidence, but he could only stare at Monoma, who talked endlessly with a proud expression. Anyway, he decided to help them since he owed Monoma, and many of his girlfriends were in Class 1-B.
Meanwhile, the one that he was most surprised by was definitely Kendo.
Kendo was beautiful, but he didn't expect that he would enter the beauty contest. Her appearance was one thing, but her personality made her unconfident. She didn't think that she was beautiful for this until Mineta helped her by doing it with her dress inside her room.
He told her just be the way she was in the contest, and he would definitely vote for her.
Hearing his words greatly boosted her confidence, and she was ready for the new challenge which she would face. The only problem was that she might not be able to watch his performance.
"It's okay. You can watch the recording."
"No! I want to watch it!"
Not only Kendo but the rest also reacted the same way, and they told him that they would definitely watch his performance.
While he was speechless, he was also happy, and at the same time, he realized that the more he interacted with them, the more he felt confused.
By becoming a god, he would leave all of them.
He would stand above all living beings.
He also made that determination after the accident in the Kamina Ward.
While everything moved based on his script, it didn't mean he could guess everything. Instead, in the beginning, it was an accident since he had never thought that Ibara, Momo, and Kendo would see him having sex with Shino (Mandalay).
However, the storm had passed, and what was left was only a calm day.
This calm day, he wasn't sure how long it would last, but he knew that it couldn't last forever.
Watching everyone's happy smile and laugh, anticipating a bright and peaceful future at the expense of his freedom since he would be tied as the next symbol of peace, made his heart cold.
To be honest, being a hero was like this.
As for the symbol of peace, he knew that his job was quite easy since what he needed to do was just to go on patrol from time to time, helping those ignorant commoners, catch villains a few times, do a press, do a business, and lastly fight a powerful opponent.
The rest aside, the last one was the most troublesome.
That was why he was going to control the country before making this whole world his.
He had made up his mind, and he was going to settle everything.
"Minoru."
"Hmm?"
He looked at Jiro, who stood by his side.
Jiro raised her fist with a smile. "Let's do our best."
He smiled before they did a fist bump.
At this time, they might only do a fist bump, but later at night, they would definitely do a waist and ass bump.
With all of that, their performance was about to start, but an accident had always happened.
"Wait, where is Midoriya?"
"Huh? Isn't he just here before?"
"Dammit!"
Mineta only rolled his eyes before he calmed everyone down and tried to contact that troublemaker. Unfortunately, his call wasn't answered, and he sent the rest to talk with the teachers. In the worst case that they would do a performance without Midoriya.
While they felt helpless, there was nothing that they could do since their performance was about to start soon.
Still, what they didn't know was that Midoriya was facing a villain that was about to interrupt the cultural festival. As someone who aspired to become a number one hero, there was no way for him to let the villain destroy everyone's hard work. More importantly, the words of Sir Night Eye still stung his heart, so he wanted to prove to everyone that he was suitable to become All-Might's inheritor.
Unfortunately, because of this, Midoriya had to sacrifice his memory in the cultural festival, but it was alright, right?
After all, no one waited to watch him.
---
Inside the hall where Class 1-A would start their performance, the audience area was filled with people. No, almost all the people on the Yuuei gathered in the hall, and all the people inside felt like they were packed like a can of sardines.
Fortunately, the teachers and the committee reacted fast and limited the number of people.
While many complained, they could only feel the silence in front of the brutality of Ryo Inui. In the end, they could only be satisfied by watching the performance of Class 1-A through the screens, which were placed in various places inside the school.
If it was another school, many shareholders would explode with such a huge expense, but Nezu definitely wasn't one of them.
Now, when the time hit right at ten o'clock, the curtain on the stage was opened.
The figures of the students in Class 1-A were shown to everyone.
"Kidd!"
"I love you!"
"Please, impregnate me!"
"........" 3x
Eri, Sir Night Eye, and Mirio, who were in the middle of the crowd, fell in silence because of the outrageousness of the scream among the crowd.
However, everything suddenly turned to silence as he played a guitar solo.
His guitar solo was like the prelude of the show. It shook them intensely as their hearts were beating so fast.
Then, when the prelude was about to end, the main was coming.
Bakugou gave his everything and exploded the hall with his explosion-like drummer, giving everyone a cue that the best performance was about to start!
*BOOOOOM!*
Along with the end of the drum, everyone started to play together as the others started dancing.
The visual effects teams also did their best to make this performance even merrier.
Everyone couldn't control their emotions anymore, and they screamed excitedly like devoted believers in front of their god.
Without a doubt, their performance was the best, but Midoriya, who had arrived, realized that he was late and he could only watch the performance through the screen around the school with his usual pale and dumbfounded expression.
Hey, the good thing was he was able to catch the villain that was about to interrupt everyone's cultural fest.
However, when he saw the performance end and everyone smiled brightly and happily as they hugged each other, he felt his whole world turn dim.
