'Escape' ③

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Area A finally welcomed the 'competition' between 'teams' again.

The two sides in the competition are still the 'Snake Group', while the other side is no longer the previous 'Large Group Beast', but a new 'Large Group' rebuilt on the remains of the 'Beast', namely the 'Ying Group' established by Eagle, the leader of Area A.

However, this 'Ying Group' was ultimately built on the remains of the 'Beast'. Although its members spanned several regions, the actual members of the 'group' were merely the loyal followers of the former 'Beast Group'. The number of members was extremely limited, making it arguably the weakest 'group' in terms of power and energy among all 'large groups', without exception.

Another large group, slightly stronger than the Eagles, was also built on the ruins of the Beasts, and was called the Remains Beast.

Both groups are composed of die-hard members of the former "Beast Group". Because the members of these two groups belonged to different factions within the "Beast", friction often occurs between them.

However, as die-hard members of the same 'Beast Group', they also share a common enemy, namely the 'Snake Beast Group' in one fell swoop. This has kept the friction between the two 'groups' in a somewhat controllable state.

As for the factional differences between these two new 'groups', they are simply different factions, similar to doves and hawks. The 'Ying Group,' led by Eagle, the person in charge of Area A, has a slogan and main goal of avenging the 'Beast Group.'

Another group called 'Remains Beast' raised a banner that symbolized the restoration of glory. Like a prince whose kingdom was destroyed wanting to rebuild his country, they wanted to make 'Remains Beast' a new 'Beast Group' and restore it to its former glory as the strongest 'Beast Group'.

Of course, the reason for mentioning these two 'groups' now is not to begin describing what happened between them. At least, it will be some time before Uraraka Shige truly 'comes into contact' with these two 'groups'. This is just a brief introduction to avoid it seeming abrupt and requiring further explanation later.

Now, the main focus is still on the 'competition' between the 'eagle' and the 'snake'.

The specific format and scale of this 'competition' are not important and need not be described. What is important is that the 'competition' between them dispersed the number of guards and patrols, allowing Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu to finally get the opportunity they had been waiting for for the past two months.

"I'm going now, you must succeed."

Gu Yu glanced at Uraraka Shige, then carried his empty plate towards the food counter.

Uraraka Shige turned her head and stared at Gu Yu's back for a while, but said nothing.

He didn't know what method Gu Yu would use to distract the guards and patrolmen, but he felt that since Gu Yu had said so, he must have a certain degree of confidence in doing so.

This has nothing to do with Uraraka Shige Gu Yu; it's simply that Uraraka Shige knows Gu Yu is a simple-minded and clumsy guy, and Gu Yu himself knows this too. Therefore, Gu Yu wouldn't do something he clearly can't do but insist on doing it anyway.

The same applies to verbal promises.

Gu Yu knew he was both simple-minded and stupid, so he wouldn't do anything that would make him seem even more simple-minded, stupid, and easier to bully.

This is a form of self-protection... Although some people may not agree, what excessive expectations can one have of a 'simple-minded' guy like him?

"Bang!" Clang~~

Soon, two loud noises rang out, and a considerable amount of chaos suddenly broke out at the food service area, followed by screams. This quickly attracted about half of the guards who were specifically responsible for watching over the entrance of the canteen.

"What happened? What's going on?"

The guards shouted questions while pushing aside the crowd of onlookers.

Upon seeing Uraraka Shige frowned and murmured softly.

"Will this work? There are only four cafeteria staff..."

His tone contained three or four parts doubt, and six or seven parts difficulty.

To be honest, according to the previously agreed plan, Uraraka Shige would take advantage of Gu Yu's distraction of the guards and patrols to leave the room and head to the entrances and exits surrounded by barbed wire. Then, using his 'Quirk', he would materialize 'wires' (see related content in the work and the first ten chapters of Volume 1 for details). He would then use the 'wires' to quickly cut a hole in the barbed wire fence, taking advantage of their ability to be manipulated at will, their extreme sharpness, and their indestructibility.

Afterwards, they went through the hole to a blank area above where there was no barbed wire fence. Finally, they used their 'Quirk' to indirectly manipulate 'Gravity' to jump over the two-meter-high barbed wire fence. Then, they used the techniques of 'flat' and 'rise' to increase their speed and escape the Discipline Prison as quickly as possible.

As for what happened next...

Let's talk about that later...

Now, although Gu Yu has attracted some guards, the number is clearly too small, so Uraraka Shige has no confidence that he can escape their pursuit indoors.

However, since Gu Yu said that he could attract the attention of the guards and patrolmen, it certainly wouldn't just be to the extent of attracting a few cats and dogs in the canteen.

Gu Yu, who was causing a disturbance at the food station, soon saw the guards he had attracted. Then, Gu Yu did something that surprised everyone, including Uraraka Shige.

He punched two guards hard, knocking them down one by one. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the remaining two guards were stunned by the attack on them, he pushed past them and fled towards the cafeteria entrance.

Soon, a fairly large riot broke out outside the restaurant, and the few guards left at the entrance of the canteen quickly called for backup using their communicators. Most of the guards were drawn to the riot caused by Gu Yu.

Uraraka Shige there for a moment, then picked up her tray and returned it to the vicinity of the food station. Then, as if she wanted to follow and watch the show, she jogged slowly towards the direction where Gu Yu had caused the commotion.

Due to the riot caused by Gu Yu, the number of guards and patrols around the area has decreased significantly again. At the same time, many of the people being disciplined around the area seem to want to watch the show, so Uraraka Shige's behavior does not seem abrupt.

Clearly, this is the method Gu Yu was referring to as attracting the attention of the guards and patrolmen—sacrificing himself to create a disturbance.
