Chapter 105
"Is that so... But... alright... thank you for your help."
After learning of the Genga Family's final decision and receiving the information they provided, although he was somewhat disappointed by the limited information Genga Family offered, he had ultimately received help from others.
Therefore, in the end, Uraraka Shige still thanked the head coach.
Has 'AFO' been spotted in Kyoto recently?
As Uraraka Shige walked out of the gym, he began to recall the information he had learned from the Genga Family.
"Furthermore, the 'Quirk' that 'AFO' possesses at this moment is different from the one he had during his second battle with All Might in the original story... Besides his core 'Quirk AFO'..."
"So, is it possible for me to find out what the specific 'Quirk' of 'AFO' is?"
Based on this intelligence, Uraraka Shige had a bold idea: if they could target something specifically, even an entity like 'AFO' could gain a certain advantage...
However, Uraraka Shige immediately and decisively rejected this idea.
The reason is quite simple.
"But... it's too difficult. If we want to obtain information about the specific 'Quirk' that 'AFO' currently possesses, it's simply too difficult. Even some relatively ordinary information is so hard to obtain, let alone information like the specific 'Quirk,' which is practically private..."
Thinking this, Uraraka Shige couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.
"My intelligence network is far too weak..."
And besides that...
"Furthermore, my abilities almost entirely prevent me from doing anything... even knowing the specific 'Quirk' that 'AFO' currently possesses..."
Uraraka Shige once again felt guilty and resentful for her own weakness.
He truly hated this feeling of being weak.
But even so, what could he do?
Just think about it, even though 'AFO' in the original work has practically died once, he can still use techniques like 'Quirk Combination' to give himself the power to change the terrain with every move he makes.
So, how terrifying must the power of 'AFO' be now, which is still at its peak?
Just thinking about this, Uraraka Shige, who already knew from the Genga Family about the damage caused by the aftershocks of the 'AFO' battle, even felt a chill run down her spine.
He was simply too weak, while AFO was far too powerful. This almost diametrically opposed difference in strength was truly disheartening.
"So..."
Uraraka Shige to look at the sky, where a thick cloud was blocking out the sun's rays. In his still clear and bright eyes, a trace of sadness for his own weakness and powerlessness was revealed.
"... Is this all I can do? Just wait, wait for All Might to be seriously injured, wait for myself to be unable to repay the life-saving grace once again..."
To be honest, as soon as this thought came to mind, Uraraka Shige felt a deep-seated, very irritable and agitated emotion surging within him, threatening to burst forth.
Just then, a gentle and melodious voice suddenly came from behind Uraraka Shige.
"Hey~ Little brother over here? What are you doing here?"
Uraraka Shige and looked up at the sky, a very exquisite yet alluring face suddenly appeared, completely filling his field of vision.
The face that suddenly appeared in her field of vision, though very beautiful, certainly startled the unsuspecting Uraraka Shige.
"You are... Momotani Hanawa?"
After taking a large step back, Uraraka Shige quickly composed herself, but couldn't help but grumble angrily as she looked at the spot where Momotani Hanawa had been.
"It's really... like a ghost, just popping up out of nowhere..."
Momotani Hanawa's pretty face furrowed slightly at Uraraka Shige 'Uraraka Shige complaint, indicating her strong dissatisfaction with his words.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Dissatisfied with Uraraka Shige's complaints, Momotani Hanawa made a few loud "tsk tsk" sounds with her seemingly glossy little mouth.
"What an unlovable brat! Just a moment ago you were standing there with your head held high, looking all pitiful, weak, and helpless. I came over to comfort you out of kindness, and this is the first thing you said to me."
Momotani Hanawa narrowed her eyes slightly and repeated her assessment of Uraraka Shige.
"What an unlovable brat! An unlovable little brother!"
Uraraka Shige, who had been rebuked by Momotani Hanawa's words, stiffened slightly, then glared at Momotani Hanawa with wide eyes in dissatisfaction.
"I'm not a little brother! Don't call me little brother!"
Despite this, after hearing Momotani Hanawa's words, Uraraka Shige realized that this guy, whom she had only met a few times, probably meant well and had startled her. In fact, it was precisely because Momotani Hanawa had genuinely startled her that she snapped out of her previous self-pity.
However, his aversion to this guy named Momotani Hanawa calling him "little brother" was also very real and without any falsehood.
Momotani Hanawa, who was being stared at like that by Uraraka Shige, suddenly had a mischievous thought of teasing him because of Uraraka Shige's reaction.
So she deliberately made her tone and manner strange and mocking, full of sarcasm and derision, and spoke to Uraraka Shige:
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever little brother says is right. I won't call him 'little brother' anymore. Tsk, what an unlovable little brother~"
Finally, Momotani Hanawa even clicked her tongue again, her perfunctory attitude evident.
Uraraka Shige breath, clenched her fists tightly, but then let go, though she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"If I weren't weaker than you, I definitely would..."
However, Uraraka Shige ultimately dared not say what he was thinking. He could only grit his teeth and, looking at Momotani Hanawa, change the subject.
"Hey! What are you doing here? Just here to make fun of me?!"
He really didn't want to talk about whether he was a younger brother or not, or whether he was the youngest of the younger brothers.
