Okay, to put it simply, if Uraraka Shige his own, he would only face some form of punishment. But if he helped others escape, it would be tantamount to him actively forcing others to deal with him more severely.

Because these two situations are different in nature, the latter is far more serious and egregious from the perspective of the 'official' side.

It was precisely because Uraraka Shige suddenly thought of this that he suddenly felt a little hesitant and wavering.

However, in the end, he still didn't intend to suddenly change his mind and stop participating in Qu Zhi's plan. He just secretly changed the final outcome of the plan that Qu Zhi told him. Instead of Qu Zhi's plan to let Qu Zhi escape, he changed it to the plan to let Qu Zhi stay in the Discipline Prison and escape himself to help Qu Zhi see his purpose.

Unfortunately, Uraraka Shige was completely unaware that the plan Qu Zhi had told him was actually a mix of truth and falsehood. The previous claims about the riot, the backup plan, and even the idea of having Uraraka Shige help him to "escape" were all true. The only thing Qu Zhi lied about was who would ultimately be the one to escape.

Therefore, although Uraraka Shige thought of this and changed his plans, what he actually wanted to achieve was actually the same as the true purpose of Qu Zhi's plan.

After Uraraka Shige changed her mind, it was lunchtime.

Lunch was eaten quickly. Uraraka Shige hesitated briefly, but ultimately did not tell Qu Zhi about his changed plans. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, however small and insignificant, but it was a clear difference from his previous life.

After finishing lunch, Uraraka Shige went to get a little more food and returned to her original spot, pretending to still be eating. However, this time she ate much more slowly, chewing each bite thoroughly before swallowing.

This action bought him and Qu Zhi enough time that the riot soon broke out.

The riot was triggered by a detainee who was returning his food tray after finishing his meal when he was accidentally bumped lightly by another detainee who had just finished eating and was getting up. The force was so slight that it didn't even make the detainee's body sway.

However, this collision enraged the person being disciplined. Without uttering a word, he raised his hand and slammed the empty plate in the face of another person being disciplined. The force was so great that the shape of the other person's face was imprinted on the plate.

The student he attacked was Heavy Strike and immediately lost consciousness. However, when the enraged student retaliated, his plate grazed another student next to him. This injured student, disregarding the food still on his plate, stood up abruptly and slammed his plate, still containing food, onto the head of the enraged student.

However, some food from this guy's plate flew onto the face of a student at a nearby table who was eating with his head down as he swung the plate. The student who had the food smeared on his face immediately kicked the guy, sending him flying sideways and crashing into the back of another student who was eating. This caused the student, who was eating and watching the scene, to suddenly have his face covered in food from his own plate, creating a realistic work of art.

In this way, through a series of chain reactions, in less than half a minute, a group fight of considerable size, which was escalating rapidly, broke out right under the noses of the guards and patrolmen before they could even react.

After guards and patrol officers joined in, one of the detainees, seemingly out of his mind, attacked a guard using his Quirk. The scene instantly descended into chaos; what began as a brawl among the detainees quickly escalated into a riot that also drew in the Discipline Prison's official personnel...

Or more accurately, it should be called a riot, a prison riot orchestrated by the authorities.

During the riot, Uraraka Shige and Qu Zhi, who were prepared, were not caught up in it. Instead, like some of the disciplinarians who were far away and reacted quickly when they saw the situation was not good, they took advantage of the sudden chaos to leave the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, instead of heading to the entrance closest to the restaurant, they walked past that entrance and headed towards the next one.

Their actions were undoubtedly correct, because they had only passed the nearest passage when they encountered several groups of patrol personnel patrolling Area A, as well as a team of 'prison guards' who had been urgently dispatched from the central area after receiving news that the guards and patrol personnel had been attacked by other inmates.

After arriving at the restaurant, the group of "prison guards," without any regard for the situation, forcefully suppressed all the detainees still remaining near the restaurant, with the cooperation of the guards and patrol personnel. Regardless of whether they had participated in the riot, all the detainees present were severely punished.

It's easy to imagine that if Uraraka Shige and Qu Zhi hadn't left the restaurant in time, or if they had started their escape attempt directly through the nearest entrance, they wouldn't have had time to do anything and would have been apprehended by the 'prison guards' who had been dispatched in an emergency.

However, they acted very quickly. Just a dozen seconds after brushing past the 'prison guards,' Uraraka Shige and Qu Zhi suddenly started running and, together with two other inmates who had just arrived, launched an attack on the guards stationed at the entrance passage.

Because they chose the right time, and because the riot at the restaurant had drawn most of the 'official' personnel's attention, Uraraka Shige and Qu Zhi's actions went smoothly. No 'official' personnel, except for the few guards they had suddenly attacked and taken down, saw them, and naturally, no one else tried to stop them.

Then one of the guys, who had a Quirk called "Crossing," came up behind Qu Zhi and had Uraraka Shige place his hands on his shoulders. He then suddenly activated his Quirk and took a step forward...

cough, and then I skipped a chapter, lol (just kidding)...

Then, Uraraka Shige and Qu Zhi suddenly passed through the door that connected to the entrance and exit passage, and behind the door, into the open space separated by the barbed wire fence that formed the entrance and exit passage.

Thus, this "escape" operation planned by Qu Zhi was far more successful than the "escape" operation originally planned by Uraraka Shige.

Next, Uraraka Shige only needs to activate his 'Quirk' to help Qu Zhi escape the barbed wire fences that form a crisscrossing passageway, or abandon Qu Zhi and activate his 'Quirk' to escape quickly on his own.

Then the 'escape' operation planned by Qu Zhi will be a direct success.
