Having reached this point, the destruction of the office building empire proceeded smoothly, without causing any significant disturbance, or perhaps the disturbances were unrelated to Uraraka Shige.

Uraraka Shige was hiding under the chassis of a car about ten meters away from the people in the black-rimmed glasses. The car was covered in dust and there were no tire tracks around it. It was a small pickup truck that looked like it had been abandoned there and was covered in green paint.

This vehicle was specially chosen by Uraraka Shige as his hiding place, but because the 'heroes' and police officers who came here were carrying portable lighting devices, they found a row of suspicious footprints on the ground, thus exposing their whereabouts.

However, there was nothing he could do. After all, when he started to hide, the people with black-rimmed glasses and the others were not far from him, and they did not give him enough space and time to erase the traces he left behind.

He wasn't some martial arts master who could leave no trace in the snow, nor was he some highly trained special agent.

Even when he was a certain distance away from the people with black-rimmed glasses, he activated his 'Quirk' and used the technique 'Rise' to make his footprints shallower and spaced further apart.

However, he was still discovered...

Fortunately, these police officers and 'heroes' didn't treat him like a real 'enemy,' but simply took him to the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department... Perhaps this was also related to his cooperation and lack of resistance... and his age in this life?

After only about two hours in the Metropolitan Police Department, Uraraka Shige was released on bail again. His guarantor was a tall, strong, and kind-looking middle-aged man with a faint fragrance.

"You're the friend Kaito about, right?"

This was the first thing the middle-aged man said to Uraraka Shige to introduce himself.

And what followed was a very sincere and earnest thank you.

"Thanks to your intelligence and ideas, we successfully dismantled that criminal gang that was hiding in an office building and selling children's organs! I've finally avenged Shakuyaku! I've finally fulfilled the vow I made that day! Thank you!"

Then, he revealed his own name to Uraraka Shige, letting Uraraka Shige know that the middle-aged man's surname was Yamato, the person behind the orphanage organization.

The Shakuyaku he mentioned was his daughter, who had been kidnapped by people from the office building gang several years ago, and all her organs that could be sold were taken away.

It took him several years of investigation before he finally uncovered the existence of the "office building power" that had killed his daughter, based on a few clues and painstaking efforts.

His daughter's name is Yamato Shakuyaku).

'Quirk' is like the Floral Fragrance.

She's a child who loves to laugh.

Unfortunately, they were a bit unlucky.

This middle-aged man's "Quirk" is Pollen.

It can emit various kinds of Pollen and possess the corresponding effects of these Pollen.

For example, some Pollen can cause Pollen can cause drowsiness, Pollen can cause hallucinations, Pollen can cause numbness, and Pollen can even cause red blood cells to dissolve, preventing platelets from stopping bleeding.

Of course, many Pollen also have medicinal properties.

Overall, it is a 'Quirk' that is easy to limit and target, but once fully unleashed, it is also extremely powerful.

Afterwards, Uraraka Shige and the middle-aged man lived together in an ordinary residential house for a few days. During this time, the middle-aged man also learned that Uraraka Shige's goal was 'AFO', and coincidentally, the office building force was one of the forces under 'AFO'.

So the middle-aged man, Yamato, agreed to help Uraraka Shige deal with 'AFO', and even introduced Uraraka Shige to the connections he had built up over the years to avenge his daughter.

Most of them are enemies of 'AFO' for some reason, or they are people who have been hurt by 'AFO' in the past. Therefore, these people usually agree to contribute some of their strength to Uraraka Shige out of respect for Yamato.

Only one rather peculiar but extremely powerful organization remains, whose members are all very unconventional. Only after the members of this organization accept and acknowledge Uraraka Shige.

After the incident Uraraka Shige's office building activities came to an end, she had nothing to do for a while. In terms of her 'Quirk,' the fact that she hadn't repaid All Might and the policewoman for saving her life had become a hidden knot in her heart, causing her to make no progress despite her best efforts. Therefore, she decided to take advantage of this time to visit the members of this organization and try to gain their approval.

Although in his heart, Uraraka Shige actually believed that he had already united many powerful individuals, so even without the organization's help, it should be enough to change the outcome of All Might's severe injury in the original story.

This organization is called the Kyoyama Society, and it only accepts strong individuals from Kyoto. It has a total of eighteen members.

Uraraka Shige's first visit was to the president of the organization, an elderly man surnamed Mitarai.

The old man owned a kendo dojo on the outskirts of Kyoto, but there weren't many students, so the dojo looked rather empty.

When Uraraka Shige the guidance of Yamato, there were only three disciples constantly brandishing their swords in a corner of the temple. Although Uraraka Shige thought they looked more like knives, given the local custom that knives are also swords, there was no need to elaborate.

The elderly man, surnamed Mitarai, sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the room. Beside him was a ceramic cup (some say it was a sushi cup) that is often seen in Japanese anime. It was shaped like a thermos, with a wavy outer wall, no handle, and a cylindrical body.

A long sword, not yet sheathed, lay across his knees. It was likely already sharpened, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

It appears to be a form of sword meditation being performed.

When the old man learned of Uraraka Shige's purpose, he did not exchange many pleasantries with Uraraka Shige, but instead directly presented him with a difficult problem.

The old man instructed Uraraka Shige to practice sword meditation as he had, and after half an hour, he would tell her whether she could sense the 'Blade Spirit' contained within the sword. Only those who could truly sense the 'Blade Spirit' within the sword could gain his approval.

Of course, in Uraraka Shige's opinion, wasn't this just nonsense? Even in this world, Uraraka Shige had never heard of any inanimate objects gaining 'Quirk'.

Aside from 'Quirk', I've never heard of any other special existences in this world.

Therefore, in Uraraka Shige's view, the so-called 'Blade Spirit' probably doesn't exist at all. This old man surnamed Mitarai is probably just using this as an excuse. He doesn't want to acknowledge him at all, and may even want to use it to make fun of him.

That's why, for the first half hour, Uraraka Shige couldn't sit still at all. She felt like a fool, being entertained by this old man, and everything she did was uncomfortable.

Finally, Yamato couldn't stand it anymore and, risking offending the old man, gave Uraraka Shige.

"I went through the same thing. The 'Blade Spirit' truly exists; you need to sense it with your heart."

Having already established a considerable level of trust with the Yamato, Uraraka Shige was finally able to calm his mind and clear his thoughts. After an hour, or half an hour, had passed, he finally faintly sensed the 'will' within the sword.

It was only later that Uraraka Shige learned that the so-called 'Blade Spirit' within the sword was actually born entirely from the 'Quirk' of the old man Mitarai.
