Uraraka Shige encountered great difficulty in finding Gu Yu 'Gu Yu family, as he knew almost nothing about them.

Fortunately, he wasn't entirely without options.

After all, he had a certain understanding of Gu Yu. Even if he was alone, he could spend a lot of time constantly inquiring about various information about Gu Yu, peeling back the layers to find what he wanted.

Moreover, although his interpersonal relationships are relatively weak, he still has access to information through the "United (Yamato)" group, including Granny Gray, Terumi Family, and others who participated in the battle between "AFO" and "ONA" before his imprisonment.

However, Uraraka Shige had only recently escaped from that Discipline Prison, so he had plenty of time and naturally didn't need to seek help from the Genga Family. As for that Granny Gray, in Uraraka Shige's opinion, finding her was no less difficult than finding Gu Yu's family.

As for the 'United', Uraraka Shige had a very bad impression of these guys. Although he could barely be considered a 'veteran' of the 'United', and even the idea of Yamato the 'United' was his, the guys in the 'United' were too focused on profit, especially Yamato. If he really sought the help of the 'United', he would undoubtedly be used.

He certainly wouldn't do something as foolish as 'walking into a trap,' so Uraraka Shige chose to investigate Gu Yu's family alone. He only stayed at Granny Songju's place to look up reports of serious crimes committed by minors in recent years and also stayed there temporarily.

Then, amidst the extremely regular rhythm of life in Uraraka Shige, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Granny Songju truly treated him like her own child and kept him in. Although the police and the "hero" knew about his "prison break," they didn't put much effort into the manhunt.

He'd seen Momotani Hanawa a few times and learned some techniques and ideas about 'Quirk' and how various aspects could work together. He still hadn't seen Granny Gray; it seemed that guy hadn't returned to the city. Genga also hadn't heard from Genga, and he hadn't gone to the gym to inquire about him.

The family's construction company was attacked by a group of rival companies, but in the end, those rival companies did not cooperate for long. In just two weeks, they started targeting each other and gradually lost interest in targeting the family's construction company. Although it cannot be said that things have improved, at least we are able to get a few orders from time to time.

He hadn't heard anything about the 'alliance' in the Yamato. All Might continued to appear in the public eye, defeating some 'enemies' and rescuing some people who needed saving. His smile seemed to have undergone a subtle change, but it still gave people a sense of reassurance and trust. However, Uraraka Shige knew that All Might's condition was definitely not good at the moment, after all, his serious injuries were a burden... He was only stepping forward because people still needed him.

Just as people say about him—'a symbol of peace'!

Most importantly, regarding Uraraka Shige's growth, his ability to manipulate his 'Quirk' has been further enhanced. In terms of technique, this is reflected in the fact that the number of 'threads' has increased by two. Now, if the 'threads' he can solidify are twisted into a single strand, they are almost as thick as an ordinary person's hair. Compared to the state where he could barely solidify them before, they are now much easier to detect.

However, Uraraka Shige also discovered some characteristics of 'lines', such as the thicker the condensation, the less sharp it is, and the difficulty of manipulation will increase exponentially. It was because of this that Uraraka Shige vaguely developed the idea of manipulating Gravity to form Gravity Thread to replace the 'line' technique.

In terms of techniques such as 'rising, leveling, and falling,' Uraraka Shige has been able to manipulate more Gravity, but the progress is not yet significant. In other words, if these basic techniques are to be further improved, new advanced techniques need to be developed on top of them.

It's like an advanced technique for 'striking', which he named 'blocking/resisting' based on the different directions of Gravity. Although it can only be used for a brief moment and the force it generates is almost the same as blowing air, he believes that this technique still has a lot of room for improvement.

Aside from his growth, Uraraka Shige has also found some clues about Gu Yu's family through his investigation over the past six months.

He mainly found the information about the incident Gu Yu committed by reading extensively and searching through reports about juvenile delinquency.

Based on this incident, he further found a large amount of information about Gu Yu in different reports. Combined with his own known information about Gu Yu, he finally merged and reorganized all this information, and finally sorted out the fragments about Gu Yu's family. He also successfully found out where Gu Yu's family lived... at least where Gu Yu lived when he was arrested.

A place in the central region, a place that Uraraka Shige had never heard of before.

After finding out this, finding Gu Yu's family and fulfilling the promise to Gu Yu to help him visit his family was not a particularly difficult thing to do.

In fact, the day after Uraraka Shige found the place where the Gu Yu family lived, she used some money she had 'borrowed' from the scoundrels to take a private car to Shoji City. After making many inquiries, she found the place where the Gu Yu family was currently living—a place on the outskirts of Shoji City that resembled a slum.

He then appeared directly in front of Gu Yu's family, told them everything about Gu Yu, and learned the message they wanted to convey to Gu Yu.

Thus, Uraraka Shige suddenly found himself with nothing to do outside and returned to Granny Songju's place, which was not far from his home. After staying there for several more days, he suddenly realized that his growth seemed to have encountered a phenomenon similar to a 'bottleneck'. After thinking about it several times, he could not find the reason for encountering the 'bottleneck'. In the end, he could only guess that it might be related to his physical condition or to Gu Yu and Qu Zhi.

As this 'bottleneck' appeared, Uraraka Shige's mood worsened day by day, and he even began to feel that his current environment was too noisy and chaotic. After another week of struggling, a thought even began to form in Uraraka Shige's mind.

"Or... let's go back 'inside'... at least from a certain perspective, it's quiet enough there... and I also need to relay the message back..."
