Targeting

When these guys saw that Uraraka Shige only swayed slightly after being bumped by the two men, but wasn't knocked to the ground, they realized that Uraraka Shige wasn't as easy to deal with as he seemed.

However, they are, after all, members of a 'group'.

As long as they remain within the 'group,' they still need to rely on the 'group's' strength to make their lives more comfortable in this Discipline Prison, instead of being like those who have no 'group' to accept them and no power, suffering humiliation every day, living a life of being summoned and dismissed at will, and daring not to speak out against their anger.

They then have to find ways to stay in the 'group', and in order to avoid being kicked out of the 'group' by the powerful figures one day, they also have to obey these powerful figures and make themselves more influential in their eyes.

The guy who was able to occupy a table and eat by himself before was undoubtedly the leader of such a 'group'.

Judging from the fact that only one guy occupied a table by himself in this canteen, it's likely that the 'group' he belonged to wasn't just a small group of three or five detainees huddled together for warmth, but rather a 'group' that held a certain status within the entire Discipline Prison.

Therefore, even though these guys felt that Uraraka Shige might not be so easy to target, and even had a vague premonition that their actions towards Uraraka Shige might bring trouble to themselves, they still had to target Uraraka Shige.

This illustrates that while it's said that "knowing it's impossible but doing it anyway" is foolish, many people still do it. This doesn't mean they're all idiots; it could mean they're in a situation where they "knowing it's impossible but have no choice but to do it."

It's like eating 'Guanyin clay' during a famine...

However, the situation they face now is incomparable to that of back then.

Moreover, although they must target Uraraka Shige, it does not mean they have to go to extremes or become irreconcilable enemies.

Of course, it also depends on the thoughts and wishes of the person who has the whole table to themselves.

After all, they acted according to that guy's instructions.

Uraraka Shige finished the rest of the food on her plate in a few bites, then got up and returned the plate to the food station.

Washing dishes is one of the tasks that those in discipline are required to do, but this does not include guys like Uraraka Shige who have been transferred from 'solo' to regular cells.

To reiterate, people like Uraraka Shige actually receive many preferential treatments in this Discipline Prison.

Although they will receive more 'attention', the punishment will be more severe if they make a serious mistake.

The group watched as Uraraka Shige left the table, but they didn't chase after him. Instead, they looked down and started eating the food on their plates.

Because in this Discipline Prison, wasting food is also punishable.

After returning the tray, Uraraka Shige left the cafeteria.

After breakfast, there is a short rest period. Once the last person being disciplined has finished breakfast, the day's 'morning study' will begin.

Yes, according to the guards, it's called 'morning study'.

It means morning study time.

However, it is those who need to learn, such as Uraraka Shige, who are under supervision, while the guards, apart from maintaining discipline and preventing riots, generally have more important things to do.

Of course, these matters are not currently related to Uraraka Shige.

After the 'morning study', there is a short five-minute break, followed by another round of other 'supervisory education', another five-minute break, and so on, and the morning passes quickly.

We had a short break before lunch.

Uraraka Shige stayed in a relatively secluded corner. There weren't many people there, except for a small group of about four people who were chatting together.

Meanwhile, Uraraka Shige remained there, staring blankly at the empty space in front of him, pondering in his heart how to further develop his 'Quirk'.

"All development is basically based on existing foundations, but we can't rule out those moments of sudden inspiration... But right now, I have absolutely no inspiration, so let's not consider that for now."

"So how can we further innovate and develop based on what we already have? What techniques do I currently possess that can serve as a foundation...?"

Uraraka Shige quite active inside, but to others, he seemed to be just spacing out, appearing somewhat silly and dazed. This led to the 'small group' of four people pointing and whispering about him, seemingly harboring some inappropriate thoughts.

However, Uraraka Shige did not notice this at the time; he was still immersed in his own thoughts.

"'Lines'? What happens if a large number of 'lines' are gathered together? And what happens to their arrangement and shape after they are gathered together?"

"Is it 'flat'? What would happen if two 'flat' forces were used in opposite directions at the same time? What would happen if 'flat' forces were used to cause changes in Gravity in two directions simultaneously?"

"'Strike'? What would happen if this Gravity were concentrated entirely at one point? What would happen if, while using 'strike,' Gravity was no longer controlled to be directed in one direction, but instead dispersed in all directions without any blind spots?"

"I feel like there are so many new techniques that could be developed... I'm really itching to try them out..."

As Uraraka Shige's inner thoughts and ideas began to stir within him over the past two weeks, a small group of four people being disciplined, not far from him, also started to stir.

If you think about it carefully, the last time they bullied someone was before they entered this Discipline Prison. Back then, they were considered local bullies. But after entering this Discipline Prison, they realized that their "abilities" were nothing at all. On the contrary, they were repeatedly bullied because of their "special skills," and in the end, they had no choice but to stick together and huddle together for warmth.

However, not far from them, there was a guy who looked like a fool, standing there quietly, seemingly lost in thought, completely dazed and helpless, as if he could be bullied and slaughtered without knowing how to fight back.

This suddenly made them want to experience again what it felt like to be superior and bully others—what a thrill and a sense of satisfaction it was. They suddenly wanted to relive the feeling of having all their pent-up frustration instantly released.

Then, just as they were about to take action, they suddenly discovered that within the entire Area A, a group of guys from the strongest 'group' were heading menacingly straight for that idiot.

They instantly had a bold idea...
