“Uh… kind of? I mean, I guess it wasn’t completely unexpected.” He shrugged.
Minoru hopped up on the back of a bench, before plopping himself down on the actual seat portion.
“I’d been training specifically for American Ninja Warrior since I first qualified. This was my third year to have a shot at the Finals. And I did it! I actually won!!” He explained, the excitement of Total Victory was evident in both his body and his tone. But then that excitement faltered a little. “I really thought about the prize money that came with that. I just wanted to beat the clock and climb Mount Midoriyama. But… now I have it. And I don’t really know what to do next.”
He grew up in a solidly middle class family that emphasized hard work and always living within your means. Isamu collected degrees and student loan debt while Minoru collected a regular paycheck working nights as a hospital orderly, a job he still had here in the Nexus. He saw how often people took advantage of Ziggy, to use him for money or fame. He may have been dating the rock star, but that lifestyle was still like another world entirely.
