Chapter 101

"Is that so... I see..."

As dusk transitioned into evening, Uraraka Shige to Granny Gray's detailed explanation and finally showed an expression of sudden understanding.

For about half an hour, Uraraka Shige had been standing there, listening to the Granny Gray- haired guy in front of her explain in detail the information about 'All For One'. She also learned that the current 'AFO' was quite different from the one in the original story when it fought All Might for the second time.

Putting everything else aside, just considering their experiences, the current 'AFO' has never experienced being completely defeated. Therefore, compared to when he fought All Might for the second time in the original work, he is more like a 'BOSS' in the open rather than a 'mastermind' behind the scenes.

He made no attempt to conceal information about himself, and seemed completely unconcerned about the possibility that people might dissect his weaknesses from the rumors circulating outside.

No, rather than making such a comment, it's more accurate to say that the current 'AFO' possesses absolute confidence in his own abilities. From this perspective alone, he truly embodies the pride of a king.

"No wonder he's called the uncrowned king..."

Uraraka Shige silently murmured this to herself.

Granny Gray, standing in front of Uraraka Shige, watched as the little brat in front of her suddenly fell silent for no apparent reason. After patiently waiting for a while, she still saw no sign that Uraraka Shige was about to come out of his thoughts, so she spoke directly and asked Uraraka Shige the same question she had asked before.

"Hey kid! You still haven't told me where you heard the term 'AllForOne' from?"

Granny Gray's words did indeed rouse Uraraka Shige from his thoughts, but Uraraka Shige showed no intention of answering his question. This was not only because Uraraka Shige not want to answer, but also because even if he wanted to answer, he did not know how to answer.

Should we tell Granny Gray that the name 'AFO' was something he saw on TV in his past life?

He would never do that.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige had no choice but to remain silent.

However, after Uraraka Shige realized that Granny Gray and she were standing face to face, both remaining silent, making the air around them feel awkward.

Especially after he put himself in her shoes for a moment, he even felt that the way he and Granny Gray were acting was like a younger brother and older brother having a tiff, sulking and treating each other like wooden figures, ignoring each other.

What he found most unbearable was that, due to his height and age in this life, he was destined to be the younger brother.

So, in order to avoid being mistaken for the younger brother of this Granny Gray, Uraraka Shige spoke first after a moment of silence.

"By the way, do you have any news about him recently?"

Uraraka Shige's question brought Granny Gray out of her silence.

"Recent news?"

Granny Gray first repeated Uraraka Shige's question, then lowered her head and pondered for a moment before turning her gaze back to Uraraka Shige.

Why are you asking this?

Granny Gray asked a question with a puzzled look, and then kindly offered Uraraka Shige a suggestion.

"Are you planning to search for this 'AFO' you mentioned? If so, for your own safety, I advise you to abandon this idea, because it's too dangerous."

Although the main reason Granny Gray made this suggestion to Uraraka Shige was because of the commission she had accepted, it is undeniable that her suggestion was indeed beneficial to Uraraka Shige's personal safety.

However, Uraraka Shige completely ignored the suggestion made by Granny Gray. He merely nodded to Granny Gray out of politeness, gave a perfunctory verbal thanks, and then repeated his question to Granny Gray again.

Do you have any recent news about 'AFO'?

In response, Granny Gray looked rather helpless, yet also resigned to the situation.

"Regarding the information that matches what you call 'AFO,' that's all I've told you so far. I've told you everything I know. As for recent news... I haven't been inquiring about these things lately, so I might know even less than you do..."

Uraraka Shige, he was not surprised at all. After all, this was something he had already expected after Granny Gray finished talking about the news about 'AFO'.

Therefore, after Granny Gray revealed the result, he simply showed an "I knew it" expression and then nodded at Granny Gray.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go ask around elsewhere; maybe I can get some useful information."

Granny Gray opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't utter a single word. She just shook her head, sighed, and finally gave Uraraka Shige a half-hearted blessing.

"Alright then, kid, good luck..."

Uraraka Shige shook her head, but ignored the guy with the Granny Gray and started to leave in the direction he had come from, all the while pondering to herself.

"Where should I go to find out about 'AFO'? At Granny Songju's place? Or... at the Genga Family?"

Thinking of this, his thoughts suddenly changed again, and he inexplicably missed the only person in this life besides Ochaco who could be considered his friend.

"No... we probably won't get any useful information from Granny Songju, but we might be able to find something at the Genga Family 'Genga Family house... However... we don't know how Genga is doing now..."

After Uraraka Shige left, Granny Gray continued walking in the direction she had been heading. As she walked, she couldn't help but show a mixture of disgust, rejection, fear, and lingering dread on her face, while her mind raced with rage.

"Damn this client! Damn this client! Damn this brat! One day, one day! Everything I'm going through now will come back to haunt you! One day, you'll experience the life of struggling and groveling at the very bottom of society!"
