Visitors and Disguises

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

After finishing her work in the Uraraka Shige listened to what the man with the black-rimmed glasses had said yesterday and did not leave immediately, but waited patiently in the office building.

Before long, a square-faced man with an honest appearance, led by a fellow dressed in gray clothes with bluish-gray skin, came to the man with black-rimmed glasses.

Uraraka Shige was not present at the time, so he naturally had no idea what the honest-looking square-faced man had said to the man with black-rimmed glasses, nor did he know that the so-called "inspectors" from the "company headquarters" had arrived at the office building.

The same man covered in gray-green scales approached Uraraka Shige brought him to the man with black-rimmed glasses. After being introduced by the man with black-rimmed glasses, Uraraka Shige realized that this square-faced man he had seen in the corridor was the one the man with black-rimmed glasses had mentioned and was going to introduce to him.

"Mr. Takotsu, this is our newest member."

Following the introduction by the man with the black-rimmed glasses, Uraraka Shige looked at the honest-looking man and began to scrutinize him carefully.

The square-faced man, referred to as Mr. Takotsu by the man with the black-rimmed glasses, also began to scrutinize Uraraka Shige, following the man's words.

Then, Uraraka Shige and Mr. Takotsu suddenly made eye contact, but neither of them paid any attention to it.

"Um..."

Mr. Takotsu scrutinized Uraraka Shige, and after a brief observation, he suddenly uttered a thoughtful sound.

The man with the black-rimmed glasses looked at Mr. Takotsu, and then Mr. Takotsu suddenly looked back at the man with the black-rimmed glasses and asked him:

"This kid is the so-called new member?"

The person with black-rimmed glasses nodded in agreement.

Uraraka Shige remained silent, silently observing Mr. Takotsu while also noting the attitudes between the two men to determine their relative status.

Mr. Takotsu, however, remained unconcerned about Uraraka Shige's identity and behavior, allowing him to scrutinize him as he continued to question the man with the black-rimmed glasses.

"So, this brat already knows about your affairs, and our affairs?"

The man with the black-rimmed glasses stopped nodding in agreement and shook his head, explaining:

"I haven't told him yet. He's still in his internship. I've only given him a few tasks, and so far, he's done quite well. He's already infiltrated the orphanage organization and found out that the small group that's been secretly working against us recently actually has someone else behind it."

Mr. Takotsu nodded upon hearing this, glanced at Uraraka Shige, and hummed in agreement, seemingly with a hint of appreciation. He then asked the man with the black-rimmed glasses a question.

"Not bad, but that's not enough... Why did this kid join us?"

The man with the black-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, glanced at Uraraka Shige who was constantly scrutinizing him and Takukotsu, and then continued to introduce them to Takukotsu:

According to him, he wanted to obtain an excellent 'Quirk' because his own 'Quirk' was too useless and had too many negative effects.

Mr. Takotsu, with a skeptical expression, finally began to question Uraraka Shige.

"Kid, what exactly is your 'Quirk'? Show us!"

Although Uraraka Shige's initial statement was somewhat hasty, it was still carefully considered and thought out. She had been taking precautions to avoid being exposed here, so when faced with the questioning of this square-faced Mr. Takotsu, she naturally did not forget her original statement.

So he answered readily without revealing any obvious flaws.

"My 'Quirk' is the ability to manipulate Gravity to make myself heavier..."

Even when talking about his 'Quirk,' he seemed hesitant to speak, as if he found it difficult to talk about his own 'Quirk.'

Mr. Kotsutaku frowned slightly and urged:

"So what's going on? Show me quickly... Or is your 'Quirk' just something you made up?"

Hearing Mr. Takotsu's urging, Uraraka Shige put on an act as if he had no choice but to speak out because of Mr. Takugu's urging, and began to explain the 'Quirk' he had made up.

"No, but my 'Quirk' doesn't show it at all... I can only apply Gravity to myself to make myself heavier... or rather, to make myself feel heavy. It doesn't make my punches and kicks heavier; on the contrary, because my body bears more Gravity, it causes minor damage to my internal organs..."

Uraraka Shige's somewhat timid attitude made Mr. Takotsu's expression turn rather unpleasant, and he gave Uraraka Shige a questioning nasal sound.

"Um?"

Then, Mr. Takotsu suddenly extended a bone-white mark from his calf all the way to the foot of Uraraka Shige, forming two thin bone pieces the same size as Uraraka Shige's feet. Mr. Takotsu then spoke again, asking Uraraka Shige to use his 'Quirk'.

"Use your 'Quirk'; if your weight really changes, I'll naturally notice."

Mr. Takotsu's use of his 'Quirk' genuinely surprised Uraraka Shige.

If he remembered correctly, in the original work, during the second battle between 'AFO' and All Might, also known as the Battle of Kamino, 'AFO' used a 'Quirk' combination technique that included a 'Quirk' called Rivet Stab.

In Uraraka Shige's opinion, Mr. Takotsu's 'Quirk' is much better than the 'Quirk' called Rivet Stab that 'AFO' used back then.

However, in the original work, at that time, 'AFO' only integrated the Rivet Stab into the 'Quirk' combination technique, and did not use it separately. Therefore, it is actually impossible to determine which of the two 'Quirk' is superior.

"Hurry up!"

Mr. Takotsu frowned slightly, seemingly growing impatient. So, Uraraka Shige imposed Heavy Shackles on him, causing Mr. Takotsu's eye to twitch involuntarily.

It's not because the added weight is too heavy...

On the contrary, because of the 'Heavy Shackles' imposed by Uraraka Shige, the Gravity was deliberately controlled to a very small degree. Therefore, although the Gravity he experienced did increase, in Mr. Takotsu's eyes, it was really too insignificant, as if three small erasers were placed on Uraraka Shige's head.

Negligible.

However, Mr. Takotsu did not mock Uraraka Shige. He simply and quietly severed the connection between himself and the bone fragments under Uraraka Shige's feet. Then, he nodded to the man with the black-rimmed glasses and said:

"That's right, although it's very slight... the weight has indeed increased a little."
