After many twists and turns in the alley, you finally reach the end of this dead end.

A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face stood frozen in place after walking out of the door.

Because the few new henchmen he had hired to keep watch for him were now lying scattered on the ground, and among these new henchmen, the only one still standing was a child who looked to be less than eleven years old.

It was precisely because of this scene that the middle-aged man with the hooked nose and gloomy face did not underestimate Uraraka Shige, but instead began to suspect whether there were other people lurking around.

"Kid, who are you? Why are these people like this? Who did this?"

The middle-aged man with a hooked nose questioned Uraraka Shige, and his attitude was very unpleasant.

When the middle-aged man first appeared, Uraraka Shige was also startled, because this middle-aged man was the same 'enemy' whose wanted poster had been updated, whom he had seen on TV a few days ago in Granny Songju's apartment.

Even Uraraka Shige remembered that this middle-aged man had once been a Doctor, and his 'Quirk' had been briefly described in a wanted poster on television, which seemed to be the ability to perfectly transplant other people's Quirk into himself.

Don't underestimate this 'Quirk,' because with his 'Quirk,' he's even capable of doing something like replacing his own heart with a gorilla's.

Several years ago, he killed a gorilla in a zoo and Zōti because his heart injury threatened his life. He completely ignored the difference in species, and no one knows how he managed to survive when his heart was removed.

It is also because of this 'Quirk' and his medical skills that, as long as he still has breath in his body, he can improve his condition and continue to live by Body Swap parts.

This means that this 'enemy' often fights in a mutually destructive manner, and thanks to his own biological modifications, he is always able to survive to the end.

Although Uraraka Shige was unaware of this 'enemy's' past achievements, this did not prevent him from feeling apprehensive about Uraraka Shige.

In fact, even the word "fear" is not entirely accurate, because this middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face was surrounded by an extremely strong aura, which made Uraraka Shige feel a strong sense of oppression.

This pressure even reminded Uraraka Shige of the protagonist in the original work, who was paralyzed with fear during All Might's second battle with 'AFO'.

Fortunately, this 'enemy' is far less powerful than 'AFO,' and his aura is far less terrifying than 'AFO' in the original work. Therefore, Uraraka Shige is not as difficult to move as 'Izuku' in the original work.

He was just feeling a little short of breath, so his breathing became slightly rapid.

"My lord... it was this brat who did it!"

As Uraraka Shige cautiously stared at this 'enemy' and remained silent in the face of his questions, the guys he had previously knocked down Uraraka Shige him also got up from the ground.

The guy with the horn on his forehead was still unconscious, being supported by the fat man with glasses who had lost his glasses, showing no signs of waking up.

The man with the triangular teeth was covering his mouth and whimpering, with a little blood flowing from it. Clearly, his teeth were sharp enough to have bitten his own tongue quite badly.

The man with sharp nails stretched out his arm and wiped away the stomach acid that had spilled from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He then spat twice on the ground and was breathing heavily. These were the words he had spoken.

The last one, a thin, small fellow, looked to be the most pitiful of the five, as he got up with a limp and kept wiping the fresh blood flowing from his nostrils with his sleeve.

Although Uraraka Shige heard the rustling sounds as the men got up, the pressure and threat emanating from the hook-nosed 'enemy' in front of him were so intense that he dared not turn around to check on the five men he had previously defeated. He was afraid that turning around would reveal a weakness, allowing the hook-nosed, gloomy-faced middle-aged 'enemy' to launch a sneak attack.

Thus, Uraraka Shige now faces this situation.

Ahead of him stood a 'enemy' at his peak, just like the guy who had kidnapped him and broken his left arm with his 'Quirk,' and the two 'enemies' who had been on the run but later returned to take revenge, causing the policewoman to lose her life while saving him—the real 'enemies' wanted by the police.

Behind him was a guy who was still unconscious, and four others who were all injured and whose fighting ability was affected to some extent, but who also had various 'Quirk'. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they had already been defeated by him once before, and their coordination had serious flaws due to their companion's unconsciousness.

He was positioned between this 'enemy' and the five men, completely surrounded.

In this situation, Uraraka Shige can generally make three choices.

One approach is to launch a direct attack on the 'enemy' in front, and then perhaps take advantage of the initiative to defeat the enemy in front. In that case, the remaining four defeated enemies would be insignificant.

However, this option is too uncertain. With Uraraka Shige's current strength, he does not have the absolute confidence or certainty to defeat the real 'enemy' in front of him in a very short time, or even in an instant. Therefore, this option is ruthlessly PASSed first.

The second option is to turn around and attack the four defeated opponents behind him. Since these four guys are not in good condition at the moment, and with Uraraka Shige already using his 'Quirk', they will soon be defeated by Uraraka Shige. This is a foreseeable and certain fact.

After all four of them were defeated by Uraraka Shige again, Uraraka Shige had two more options: either ignore this 'enemy' and take the opportunity to escape, or take advantage of the brief moment when these four were incapacitated again to defeat the 'enemy' as well.

However, this also presents several problems. If Uraraka Shige actually does this, can he eliminate these four guys before the 'enemy' gets close to him? Or, can these four already weakened individuals successfully buy enough time for the 'enemy' who is not far from Uraraka Shige to join the battle?

Therefore, this option is subject to considerable uncertainty and debatable issues, and will be retained for the time being.

As for the third option, it would be for Uraraka Shige to ignore both sides and instead use his 'Quirk' and the terrain at the end of this dead end to try to escape, or to use his 'Quirk' and this confined space to simply eliminate the four weakened individuals and the real 'enemy'.
