The next day, Mina wracked her brain for any sort of idea to save her and Denki's channel, but came up empty.

Soon, Monday rolled around and Mina was walking down the halls of U.A. High School, the top high school in the world for super-human teens.

What am I going to tell Denki? She sighed.

"Hey! Mina!" A voice called out to her.

She turned around and saw a young man running towards her. He had electric yellow hair with a brown lightning bolt on the left side, fair skin, and yellow eyes.

"Oh. Hey, Denki." She greeted, putting on a smile.

"Wanna walk to class together?" He asked.

"Sure." She agreed.

"So, did you come up with a plan to get our channel popular again?" He asked, walking down the hall with his hands behind his head.

"No..." She admitted.

"So...Is this the end of Minarigames?" He asked.

"I guess." She said, gloomily. "I'm sorry, Denki...I really tried..."

"Hey," he placed a caring hand on her shoulder. "We did our best. That's all that matters."

"I guess..." Mina sighed. "I just wish it could've lasted longer, you know? I mean, Minarigames isn't even a year old. It makes me feel bad to end it so soon."

"Well, maybe we don't have to?" He wondered, opening the door to classroom 1-A. "Maybe we could try again?"

"How?" She questioned.

Denki shrugged. "I don't know. But we can still try."

"Well, unless you have an idea, I think this might be the end of Minarigames." She walked into the classroom and took a seat at her desk.

Soon class started and the teacher, Mr. Aizawa, began explaining the day's activities. But Mina wasn't really listening. Her mind was elsewhere, trying to figure out a way for her and Denki's channel to get popular again.

When lunch rolled around, Mina was still trying to think up wild and obscure video ideas. 

"Hey." Denki said as he stood behind her in the lunch line. "Did you think of something yet?"

Mina sighed as she payed for her meal and walked off.

"So...I take it that's a no?" He asked as he walked with her.

"Look, I'm sorry, ok?" She said. "I tried to think of new ideas, but I got nothing..."

"Hey, it's ok." He assured her. "So what if Minarigames didn't even last a year on YouTube? We can always try something different." He looked over and saw some of their friends sitting at their usual table. "Why don't we go sit with the squad?"

"I don't feel like it..." She walked away and sat by herself.

"Mina..." He walked over and sat next to her.

She ignored him and ate her meal in silence.

"Hey, guys." A voice said.

Mina looked up at them with her black and yellow eyes. "Oh, hi, Midoriya."

Midoriya was a young man with fluffy, green hair, green eyes, freckles, and fair skin.

"Why aren't you two sitting with Bakugou and the rest of your friends?" He asked them.

Mina looked down at her food.

"Mina's upset because our combined YouTube channel isn't as popular as we thought it was." Denki explained.

"Oh." Midoriya replied. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's ok." Mina told him.

"Well, is there anyway I could help?" He asked.

"I don't think so..." She pushed her food around on her plate as an idea popped into her head. "Wait a minute, that's it! Denki! What if we invited some of our friends to do a giant collab video?"

"I don't know?" He admitted. "Who did you have in mind?"

"Well, Midoriya, for one." She told him. "After all, it was him who gave me the idea. And, hm, let's see..." She glanced over at the table Midoriya came from and spotted a student who caught her attention. They were a young man with red and white hair split right down the centre, a scar over his left eye, which was light blue while his right eye was silver, and fair skin. She then turned to Midoriya. "Do you think Todoroki might be interested?"

"I think?" He said, a little uncertain. "I mean, I can ask."

"Ok." She smiled. "Hm, so that's three, possibly four people playing...How many more players do you think we'll need, Denki?"

"I don't know?" He shrugged. "Maybe two more?"

"Ok then...Hm..." She glanced over at the table they normally sat at and got an idea. "What about Kirishima and Bakugou?"

"I don't know, Mina." Denki said. "I don't really see Bakugou wanting to take a few hours out of his day to dick around with us on Minecraft. Doesn't really seem like his thing."

"I know, but, seeing him rage quit could make our views go up!" She stated.

He gave her a look that said "Really?".

"Well, it couldn't hurt to at least, you know, ask him!" She told him. "Could it?"

"Knowing him it probably would hurt a lot to ask him." He joked. "But, fine, we can ask."

"Yes!" Mina cheered, jumping out of her seat.

"No fucking way." Bakugou said later that day. He was a young man with fluffy, light blond hair, red eyes, and fair skin.

"Awe." Mina complained, leaning over his school desk. "Why not?"

"Because I don't play games intended for fucking five year olds." He replied. "Besides, it'll probably be hella boring."

"Awe, but you don't understand!" She insisted. "There are all kinds of monsters you can fight and mods that let you customize the way you play and-!"

"I don't fucking care, Raccoon Eyes." Bakugou told her.

"My name's Mina." She reminded him.

"Again, don't care." He repeated. "Now, fuck off."

She groaned and stared up at the ceiling as if to say "Do you see what I have to put up with here?". Then an idea crossed her mind.

"Ok, fine." She told him. "But, you're going to miss out on a lot of cool shit. I'm talking cool mod packs, fighting monsters, creating explosions with TNT and Creepers." At this, Bakugou perked up his head. "But, you clearly don't wanna play, and I respect that. Anyways, talk to you after class, Bakugou." She stood up and started to walk away.

"Wait, Raccoo-I mean, Mina." He said.

"Yes?" She asked, turning around with a triumphant smile on her face.
