Another Wave Was About to Rise
Foreword:
I felt like a genius when I glanced at the outline and realized that this "targeting" plot was actually meant to introduce Qu Zhi into the protagonist's "group," detailing the personalities and methods of Gu Yu and Qu Zhi, and Qu Zhi's later exploitation and betrayal of the protagonist... Furthermore, this plot also included AFO's investigation of Yamato's "alliance" and their subsequent attention to the protagonist (a test and probing), foreshadowing the protagonist's later entry into the "League of Villains"... It was a very important plot point, and I completely forgot about it the day before yesterday! I got so caught up in the excitement that I skipped it all... Okay, that's not the point. The point is, I didn't even mention any of this!
I was wrong, I was so wrong!
What am I doing? Digging my own grave? But since I dug this hole myself, I have to fill it in, even if I have to kneel and cry. I guess I'll have to revise the rest of the text...
----+----+----
Uraraka Shige's group has finally welcomed its third member.
Two more months passed after that. The 'targeting' that Qu Zhi had warned about seemed to have ended, but in reality, the people behind the scenes had already gotten what they wanted.
Firstly, Qu Zhi has successfully prevented his 'brain from rusting' through this experience. Just like when he began plotting the destruction of the 'Beast Group' behind the scenes before Uraraka Shige entered the group prison, it served as a good exercise for his brain and planning skills.
Furthermore, Qu Zhi successfully tested Uraraka Shige, labeling him as 'usable'. Coupled with Uraraka Shige's previous successful escape, Uraraka Shige had successfully become one of the pawns he wanted.
At the same time, in order to prevent his own brain from 'rusting' and to make Uraraka Shige his pawn as he wished, he developed new schemes and calculations against Uraraka Shige.
On the other hand, 'AFO,' who was being chased by All Might but ultimately escaped from All Might with serious injuries as in the original story, is recuperating from his wounds while using his remaining loyal subordinates and newly acquired pawns to investigate his defeat in the battle against All Might. He is learning from the information he gathers and growing stronger as a result.
In this intelligence report, a new third-party force emerged, distinct from his own forces and the "hero" police force. This force was the "United" that had entangled a large number of his men, causing his original plan against All Might to fail. This also piqued his interest in the existence of the "United."
After all, he is currently in a slump and has very few people available.
Therefore, it would be hard for him not to be tempted by such a novel and delicious opportunity as "union". Even if it was inconvenient for him to personally take the lead, he could send some of his subordinates to recruit more promising talents for him, so that when he recovered from his injuries, he could have people under his command to use for any schemes he wanted to carry out.
The leader of the natural 'union', Yamato, and Uraraka Shige, who was also part of the 'union', thus came into his view... although Uraraka Shige's presence was more due to his age advantage in this life.
Since it wasn't entirely secretive, after some investigation, he obtained information about people he thought highly of, such as Yamato and Uraraka Shige.
As for Yamato, due to the fact that his subordinate's office building had caused the destruction of his family and the death of his people, 'AFO' also gave up the idea of recruiting him. After all, he caused the destruction of his family and wanted him to work for him... Although 'AFO' himself is very confident in himself, he is currently in the process of recuperating from serious injuries, and in order to be on the safe side, he put aside the idea of recruiting Yamato.
However, Uraraka Shige and Yamato different. Although at first he was only slightly interested in Uraraka Shige because of his age, after some investigation, this small interest suddenly grew and he became more curious and doubtful.
For example, there was the existence of the Terumi Family, who was insignificant to him at the time; the fact that he went to Kyoto and became the 'culprit' for the eventual destruction of his office building forces; and the fact that he appeared on the battlefield where he fought All Might, but he had no idea why.
The only thing he has truly and thoroughly investigated now is the matter of Uraraka Shige- entry into the Discipline Prison.
Thus, wanting to make All Might Uraraka Shige, like Shigaraki who was raised to inherit his dark will and become his precious pawn, just like Qu Zhi did, he began to further plot against Uraraka Shige was still in Discipline Prison at the time.
Of course, at this moment, Uraraka Shige, inside the Discipline Prison, was completely unaware of all this. Uraraka Shige was currently in the indoor training area, where specialized equipment was provided, transforming his 'Heavy Shackles' into a 'Heavy Burden,' constantly Kurasu Rikizo and strengthening his body alongside Gu Yu and the newly joined 'group', Kurasu Rikizo. Simultaneously, he was using this method to train his subtle manipulation of his 'Quirk'...
After all, the optimal Gravity that Gu Yu, Rikizo, and he himself need to withstand when exercising is different. Therefore, he also needs to allocate the Gravity that each person needs while exercising.
Yeah, multitasking.
However, if that were all, while it would be worthwhile for Uraraka Shige to train, it wouldn't be a particularly difficult task. The real challenge, and what would allow Uraraka Shige to make significant progress, lies in his ability to adjust the Gravity he bears through his 'Quirk' in a timely manner, based on the opinions of Gu Yu and Kurasu Rikizo Uraraka Shige.
In fact, it was precisely because of this method that Gu Yu's muscles began to become more refined over the past two months. He no longer gave people the feeling of being a "dumb and clumsy big guy" as before, but instead began to develop in a lean and muscular direction.
As a result Kurasu Rikizo, who recently joined the 'group', has become even thinner. If the original Kurasu Rikizo gave people a feeling of being thin and small, the current Kurasu Rikizo gives people the feeling of being as frail as a kite that could be blown away by a gust of wind.
However, despite this apparent difference, the increase in muscle mass and strength that Kurasu Rikizo was able to store through his 'Quirk' was a significant improvement compared to when he trained alone in the past. The total amount gained in the past two months was even equivalent to the results of three months of training on his own.
While this might be related to his initial acceptance of training in an enhanced Gravity environment, this enhanced Gravity environment is not fixed. Instead, it originates from Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' adjustments. In other words, even if his rate of growth gradually decreases later on, as long as Uraraka Shige gradually enhances his control over his 'Quirk' and his body's endurance, Kurasu Rikizo will still be able to continue to grow stronger at a considerable pace.
Therefore, it can be said that as long as Kurasu Rikizo wants to continue to enjoy the effect of becoming stronger at this speed, he cannot leave Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk'. In many matters, because of Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk', he will be more inclined to Uraraka Shige's side.
Overall, it's a good thing, um (nods)!
