Class 1-A had gathered at the common room for a casual get-together. Bakugou was sprawled on the couch, with Kirishima trying to engage him in conversation. Midoriya and Iida were huddled over a pile of books, discussing strategies for their next hero training lesson.

Meanwhile, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki were in a deep conversation about their Quirks. Sato and Koda were making snacks in the kitchen, while Jiro, Sero, and Kaminari scrutinized a music playlist in the background.

Ashido was cheerfully attempting to teach Hagakure some dance moves, while Ojiro and Asui watched with amusement. Mineta, as usual, was skulking around the edges of the room, his eyes never far from the girls.

Suddenly, there was a yelp from Hagakure. Everyone turned to see Mineta grinning sheepishly, his hand stretched in the general direction of where Hagakure's torso should be.

"Mineta!" Iida reprimanded sternly, "This is totally inappropriate!" Bakugou's face twisted into a scowl, while Ochaco, who was nearby, looked visibly disgusted.

Mineta mumbled an apology, but few looked convinced. Most of them returned to their activities, albeit with a wary eye on the grape-headed student.

Later that evening, Kaminari cornered Mineta. "Look, buddy," he began, his voice serious, "You've gotta change your attitude. What you're doing isn't flirting, it's harassment."

"But Kaminari-kun..." Mineta began, but was cut off by Kaminari's stern face. "No buts, Mineta. Respect is a two-way street." His voice was firm, yet compassionate.

Mineta seemed to ponder over Kaminari's words, his eyes flicking between the floor and Kaminari's stern gaze. He then asked, "So...how can I change?"

"Start with respect and empathy," Kaminari suggested, "Treat others how you'd like to be treated. From there, I'm sure you'll figure it out."

That night, Mineta lay in his bed, wide awake. Kaminari's words replayed in his mind, their gravity slowly sinking in. The glares and disgusted faces of his classmates burned in his memory.

From that moment, Mineta decided to turn over a new leaf. He felt a newfound determination burning within him: he would become a better person, not only for his classmates but also for himself.

Gradually, Mineta's behavior began to change. He started by apologizing to Hagakure for his previous behavior. Though surprised, she accepted his apology graciously.

Mineta made an effort to interact with his classmates in a respectful and considerate way. He even began to take his studies more seriously, impressing Iida with his sudden diligence.

His actions were met with mixed reactions. Some, like Jiro and Sero, were skeptical and kept their distance. However, others like Midoriya and Uraraka appreciated his efforts.

Despite the skepticism, Mineta persisted. He made sure to check his words and actions, and to treat everyone with respect. His behavior was a far cry from his previous lecherous antics.

Noticing Mineta's change, Midoriya approached him one day. "Mineta-kun, I just wanted to say...we’re proud of you. Keep up the good work." He said, his eyes shining with sincerity.

Mineta felt a warmth spreading through him. The recognition of his efforts meant a lot to him. "Thanks, Midoriya-kun." He said, a genuine smile on his face.

Over time, Mineta's change became more evident. He was more respectful, considerate, and responsible. His classmates started seeing him in a new light, and he felt more accepted.

One day, while the class was hanging out, Ashido voiced out. "You know, Mineta, you're quite amusing when you're not being a perv." Everyone laughed, with Mineta joining in good-naturedly.

Despite his redemption, Mineta knew that his past actions were inexcusable. He vowed to continue his path of respect and empathy, to prove his sincerity to his friends and himself.

The journey was tough and awkward at times. But with his friends’ support and Kaminari's guidance, Mineta learned to respect others' boundaries, treat them with kindness, and stand up for what was right.

His change didn't go unnoticed by the teachers either. Aizawa noted it during a staff meeting, a small smile of approval on his usually stony face. His classmates felt a swell of pride.

Class 1-A's unity was stronger than ever. They all learned a valuable lesson - everyone had the potential to change, given the right guidance and the determination to do so.

As for Mineta, he felt incredibly thankful for Kaminari's wake-up call and his classmates' patience. He was grateful for the chance to change and promised to uphold the values he had learned.

From being an annoying pervert, Mineta had transformed into a respectful and considerate classmate. His story was indeed 'A Pervert's Redemption', a testament to the power of change.
