Obstinate

The battle, which was about to shake the entire world, was about to begin, but before that, the battle between Class 1-A and Class 1-B needed to be held first.

As for Mineta's battle, it would start at the end after everything was done.

As for Shinso, he would be joining Class 1-A since Mineta's participation would lead to a simple massacre.

To be honest, they had to say that Mineta was strong, so strong that they didn't have a possibility to win, but it would be different if he was asked to fight a total of 41 students with various unique Quirks along with a total of nine teachers, who had a long experience as a Pro Hero.

In other words, Mineta would fight a total of 50 people!

If All-Might wasn't hurt, Mineta also wanted him to join. Unfortunately, All-Might couldn't fight any longer, so a battle was impossible.

"Mineta-kun, are you sure about this battle?" All-Might asked worriedly since he had to say Mineta was too reckless. Other teachers aside, Aizawa was also included in this group, which made the difficulty of this fight even higher.

"It's just a lesson. If I lose, then that's it. I won't die anyway, and it is also a good way to train."

"Training? What do you mean?"

All-Might asked in confusion.

The rest, who happened to hear their conversation, were also confused.

"You know Hokusai's drawing Quirk, right? He could make an All-Might, then don't you think that it is possible for him to make Aizawa-sensei too?"

"...."

They gulped and widened their eyes.

"Th-that's not possible, right?" Somehow, Kirishima couldn't believe it.

"Even if it isn't possible, I just want to recreate the worst possible which can happen when I fight Hokusai in the future. Just imagine that you can't use your Quirk because of Aizawa's Quirk then you are forced to fight All-Might at his peak. By then, what can you do?"

"..."

No one could answer this question since there was only one answer.

Died.

Unlike a hero, who fought to capture and defeat, the villains fought for the kill. It might be possible for a hero to kill someone, but unless they were forced, no one would do it since the killing wasn't something that could be easily done.

"Anyway, let's stop talking about this. Before my fight, it was a fight between Class 1-A and Class 1-B, right? As for those who receive Shinso, you should be ready since even if his Quirk is powerful, he lacks experience, so your fight will be a little harder."

"That's right." Vlad nodded. "He is a burden instead of an asset, so you should prepare yourself."

"...."

Mineta tried to be polite, but he didn't expect Vlad would be so blunt.

However, Shinso didn't deny Vlad's words since everything which he had said was correct. He was a burden since he lacked experience compared to the others, but even so, he wouldn't let himself be drowned by self-loathing.

Yuuei was kind enough to give him a chance to become a hero, so he was going to do his best to fight for it.

Shinso definitely wouldn't let go of this chance!

"The setting of this battle is "the heroes move to surround the villain group and capture them!" Each team shall perceive the other as the "villains!" Once either team captures four members of the others, it's their victory."

There was no need for much explanation since everything was simple and clear.

Everyone understood instantly what they were doing, and in conclusion, what they did was four versus four battles.

"In each team's camp, we have installed a "wicked cute irredeemable prison." The moment you imprison your opponent there, they will be considered captured."

"That means rendering your opponents unable to fight close to your own base would be the most efficient, but that sure won't be easy."

"However, we will be carrying a dead weight, right?" Bakugou snorted.

"Hey, Bakugou, that's too much!"

"It's fine. That's the truth, after all." Shinso was quite chill.

"That's right, but are you up to it?" Aizawa asked while looking at Bakugou.

"You're too kind, Shinso!" Kirishima cried.

Bakugou glanced in Mineta's direction and thought that compared to Mienta's fight, having one dead weight was nothing, especially when this dead weight had a good Quirk.

Brainwash.

Even Bakugou wasn't sure whether he could do something against it.

As for Midoriya? Bakugou knew that this guy was cheating, so it was normal for him to be able to escape the control of Shishio. However, his target had never been Midoriya, and with his dream to become a number one hero, a single dead weight was nothing!

"Why not? Let's do it!"

"Good." Aizawa nodded, then held a box of lots.

"Time to draw the lots." Similarly, Vlad also held something similar.

Mineta, who didn't join, stood on the side and didn't join the fun. Instead, he was looking at this battle curiously since he wondered who would fight who and what the result would be.

With that said, everyone also started to pull the lots before they were assigned to each other's teams.

Five teams were quickly formed, and their fights were decided.

For the first fight, teams one from Class 1-A would fight against team one from Class 1-B.

From Class 1-B were Ibara, Jurota Shishida, Hiryu Rin, and Kosei Tsuburaba.

From Class 1-A were Kirishima, Kaminari, Tsuyu, and Koda.

Their fight would start in twenty minutes, and with Aizawa around, they didn't waste their time and moved into their position.

"Hey, hey, Mineta-kun. Who do you think will win? Is it a team with your girlfriend? Or your beloved classmates?" Monoma asked with an irksome tone and loud voice.

"....." Everyone.

Leaving the first teams that had left, everyone, who stayed, heard Monoma's words, and they were all looking in Mineta's direction since they were curious about what they thought about this battle.

"Ibara is going to win."

Mineta's answer was simple, and he didn't have a doubt.

"Right!" Monoma had this bright smile on his face and looked at the students of Class 1-A smugly.

"Hey, hey, Mineta-kun. Kirishima, Kaminari, Tsuyu, and Koda aren't weak."

"Yeah, they're not someone that will be easily defeated."

They thought that Mineta's answer was because Ibara was his girlfriend, so his answer leaned toward Class 1-B.

While the girls didn't say anything, a few guys tried to tell him that the team of Class 1-A wouldn't lose to Class 1-B, but the rest didn't say anything since Mineta was free to have his own opinion.

The one who was most excited was Midoriya, as he told Mineta the detailed abilities of Kirishima, Tsuyu, Kaminari, and Koda. His words were filled with analysis and many other things about the advantage of the four, but Mineta only glanced at Midoriya and said, "Just watch, and even if you have data of the four of them, do you have data of the four people from the Class 1-B?"

"That's..."

"That's why. Just watch. I just state my opinion, and you're free to argue, but in the end, everything will be decided on the battlefield. Instead of talking here uselessly, it's better to watch."

Mineta didn't bother to talk with Midoriya since he felt that this guy was trying to compete with him, which made him too lazy to talk. More importantly, with Midoriya's obstinate nature, he didn't think that this guy would give up with one or two arguments, which so much trouble,

Midoriya opened his lips but stopped when he saw Mineta ignore him. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists before he felt a bit angry since he believed that the team in Class 1-A would definitely win!

'By then, I will show that my view is correct!'

All-Might and Bakugou, who saw all of this, frowned, but they didn't say anything since the first battle between Class 1-A and Class 1-B was about to start.
