Uraraka Shige, the Mountains, and the Boar That Never Fought
The wind rustled through the branches and leaves of the trees, creating a soft, whispering sound. This was a dense Kamui Woods surrounded by mountains.
Uraraka Shige was walking through this Kamui Woods at this moment.
He was suddenly inspired by the conversation between the two young ladies who were passing by. He realized that he had been getting stuck on one thing and understood that getting involved in the battle between All Might and All For One didn't necessarily have to start from All Might's side.
In fact, he could have easily searched for information about All For One (AFO) and then used that information to find out where All Might and AFO would fight. If he could have stayed by one of their sides, he would have naturally gotten caught up in the fight when All Might started fighting AFO.
While it's impossible for him to stay by All Might's side or secretly follow All Might, All For One is currently still the king of the underworld, and his whereabouts are much easier to find than All Might's.
If he could find AFO's whereabouts and secretly follow him, he might be able to do so with Uraraka Shige's excellent 'Quirk'. However, this would put him in too much danger, so he ultimately had to give up this tempting idea.
The reason he is here at this moment is for a reason, and the reason is very simple, it can even be summarized in two words.
Transfer.
Uraraka Shige still has things to do, and Uraraka Shige had previously encountered a 'hero' near his home. Although the 'hero' wasn't there to capture him, Uraraka Shige even learned from the 'hero' that there might not have been any 'hero' at all, and that the Granny Gray- haired guy had given him the wrong information.
Even so, just in case, Uraraka Shige still had the idea of going to other cities to conceal himself and gather information.
And Uraraka Shige also acted on this idea.
However, regardless of whether there are 'heroes' stationed in places with high traffic such as train stations, airports, and ports, even if there aren't, given his age in this life where Uraraka Shige, he simply has no way to travel from one city to another by vehicle, plane, or ship.
He might be able to ride in some private cars, but to be honest, society is still quite chaotic, especially before All For One was defeated by All Might. He can't guarantee that the experienced driver won't be some kind of 'enemy' in disguise.
Rather than facing an "enemy" with an unknown "Quirk," Uraraka Shige prefers to reach another city by traversing mountains and valleys.
Moreover, he had already clarified his purpose and determined which city he would be going to next.
That's a city that appeared in the original work, the city where the protagonist and others encountered the "Nomu" and the "Hero Killer" Stain when they were in Class A of U.A. High School - Tenya Iida Hosu City.
Of course, he still doesn't know whether the place he arrives at after leaving these mountains will be Hosu City...
But at least he knows one thing... and that is... he might be in big trouble now...
Uraraka Shige at the half of a gray mane-covered buttocks that were vaguely visible behind a clump of bushes not far ahead, and felt cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Hmph~~Hmph~Hmph~"
Based on its distinctive voice and its distinctive half-rear end, Uraraka Shige could easily deduce that this was a wild boar. It was still unknown whether it was alone or part of a group nearby, or why the boar hadn't noticed Uraraka Shige's presence. However, one thing was certain: this wild boar posed a significant threat to Uraraka Shige at this moment.
"Rustle..."
What was the wild boar doing behind the bushes? Perhaps it was rummaging for food on the ground? Occasionally, half of its rear end would bump into a clump of bushes, causing the leaves to rub against each other and make a rustling sound.
As Uraraka Shige to the rustling sound, she felt as if she had drunk two cans of unsweetened black coffee, with a very strong and obvious bitter taste.
"Why is there a wild boar here?! I know there are many wild boars in this country, but why did I have to run into one by chance?!"
Uraraka Shige slowed her breathing, carefully regulated her emotions, and then began to feel a little relieved.
"Thankfully, it shouldn't have noticed me at all... Although I don't know why, now I just need to quietly back away... little by little... slowly... cautiously..."
Uraraka Shige cautiously and quietly retreated, even keeping the Heavy Shackles he had been wearing on him in case of any accidents. Facing the wild boar's exposed half-rear end, he didn't dare to blink, and continued to retreat step by step without stopping, until he was about Uraraka Shige meters away from the wild boar. Only then did he finally relax a little and slowly exhale a breath of stale air.
"Whoosh~" "Click!"
But along with his exhalation came a very distinct crisp sound from beneath his feet.
The sharp sound made his still-small body stiffen abruptly, and also made the half-exposed buttocks about ten meters ahead, which were peeking out from behind a clump of bushes, stiffen abruptly, as if someone had disturbed his enjoyment of being out for some fresh air.
Then, the half-buttocks gradually disappeared under the Uraraka Chu, and what appeared in its place was a towering back covered with gray mane, and a pig's head covered with gray mane, which looked somewhat wild, with eyes that did not flash any scarlet light.
Uraraka Shige also noticed something else: there were no tusks on the pig's head, a discovery that reassured him somewhat.
"No fangs... Could it be the mother's?"
Compared to male wild boars with tusks, who might even pierce a person's flesh with their tusks, these female wild boars, lacking tusks and relying primarily on charging, nudging, shoving, and biting for attack...
Well, these points didn't reassure Uraraka Shige at all. What truly put him at ease was the wild boar's action of turning away after glancing at Uraraka Shige a couple more times, seemingly deciding that his delicate skin and flesh were not worth chewing.
