He’d trained for Total Victory. Not necessarily for what comes after.

Those that ventured out to Minoru’s world to watch this year’s American Ninja Warrior Finals live and in person, knew exactly why the resident hospital orderly had been on freerunning across Cloud 9 since he got back. Those who couldn’t make it out there might have caught an interdimensional replay on TV. The twins had already seen it playing on one of the many screens in The Angel’s Retreat.

To those who hadn’t, though, Minoru’s question was entirely hypothetical, an innocuous kind of thing lots of people chatted about after a long week at work. And perhaps that was for the best.

“Okay, so… if you suddenly had a million dollars, what would you do with it?”

"I don't know...that's a lot." There is a little girl near you Minoru, twiddling her fingers as she thinks very deeply about the question. "I guess, give it to the school I live at? They always give me everything I need, so...they should get money to better help the students and heroes who work there."

Eri nods, humming before looking back up at the man. "M-maybe I'd spend some on apples and candy apples. Though I gotta be careful because that's a lot of sugar."

She tilts her head. "Did you win a million dollars, Mister?"

"Oh! I could!...though the students and me aren't classmates yet. I just live there because it's safe for me there." Eri's...not got a good grasp on secrets yet. What she shouldn't talk about and what she should, that kind of thing.

"I've seen that! Well, the reruns from when it was in Japan! Shota-san says that a lot of the school's training courses have a lot of similarities." Still she holds up her hands, welcoming him to give her a high five if he wants whiles she speaks. "Congratulations! Keep up the good work, mister!"

"Mm! I don't get to see it a whole lot, but the big kids use them to train to be Heroes when they aren't using the really big stuff." Yay! High five! She giggles and nods. "That take a lot of gust! Um! Guts! So many people try so many times, including grandmas and grandpas...Hardly anybody makes it, and if they do it's not more than once."

Quirks make it hard for shows like that to exist anymore. If Deku were around he'd probably say that the closest thing is UA's sports festival, and that is so exclusive it's not really funny. "You've been making sure to keep up on your electrolytes and stuff? I read that they're important when I was helping Shota-san grade the students papers."
