The Expected "Accident": Uraraka Shige Escapes Again
However, if the plot really develops in this way, it is clear that neither Uraraka Shige nor Qu Zhi will achieve the results they want.
Therefore, it was to be expected that an 'accident' would occur next.
The patrol personnel specifically responsible for guarding the entrance and exit points spotted Uraraka Shige and his two companions the instant they appeared in the open space separated from them by only a barbed wire fence. Since only about three months had passed since Uraraka Shige's escape, they reacted quickly.
"Someone has escaped from prison!"
Unlike last time, when many of them were entangled by their wardens, this time only three people appeared: Uraraka Shige, Qu Zhi, and the guy with the famously 'Crossing' Quirk.
Therefore, this time no one would draw fire for them or provide cover, and they immediately became the targets of these patrol personnel.
These patrolmen didn't use any lethal live ammunition; instead, each of them was equipped with a taser-like weapon. The gun body was made of insulating material and fired charged metal fragments as ammunition. It was a non-violent weapon that could almost instantly incapacitate a person upon being hit.
However, even this kind of weapon was enough to cause great obstacles and trouble for Uraraka Shige and his two companions. After all, none of the three of them had a 'Quirk' that could disable the patrol personnel's weapons, nor could any of them stop the iron-shrapnel projectiles fired by these weapons.
The individual with the ability to Crossing 'Quirk' hadn't developed his 'Quirk' much, so neither the distance he could Crossing nor the preparation time required to activate it again was enough for the three of them to escape the patrolling personnel's attack range directly.
Fortunately, there was still a layer of barbed wire between the patrol personnel and Uraraka Shige and his two companions. To control them, the Uraraka Shige personnel had to shoot through the mesh of the barbed wire or through the opening gates on the barbed wire that allowed them to reach the open area where Uraraka Shige his companions were located. This would allow them to attack them directly, rather than having the metal fragments fired by their weapons intercepted in mid-air by the barbed wire.
Although this wouldn't take up much of their time...
Upon Uraraka Shige had a bold idea pop into her mind.
"If I get subdued by these patrol officers, then even if my Qu Zhi fails, they can't blame me... Should I..."
However, Uraraka Shige's bold idea had barely surfaced in his mind when Qu Zhi urged him to hurry up.
"Activate your 'Quirk' now! Otherwise, none of us will escape!"
Uraraka Shige did not hesitate any longer, because he would easily feel lost outside, and he could not go home, otherwise the police would definitely find out. Therefore, he would have to spend a long time in this Discipline Prison.
Qu Zhi has already helped him a great deal (Uraraka Shige is unaware that he has been repeatedly used by Qu Zhi), and he will be able to help him even more in the future. It can be said that if Uraraka Shige wants to live better in this Discipline Prison and reduce a lot of trouble, he will inevitably need Qu Zhi's help.
Therefore, urged on by Qu Zhi, Uraraka Shige no longer hesitated and activated her Quirk, reversing the direction of some Gravity. However, she did not exert her full strength, only reversing a small portion of the controllable Gravity. She even had the strength to maintain the 'Shackles' while leaving some controllable Gravity in case of emergency.
Yes, he decided to continue helping Qu Zhi, but he wouldn't go all out. Instead, he would hold back, so that Qu Zhi's plans would fail without him noticing, and all of them would be stopped by the patrol personnel.
He didn't know that Qu Zhi had only intended for him to escape on his own, nor did he know that the plan he learned from Qu Zhi was actually a lie in its most crucial parts. Uraraka Shige only thought that this would achieve his own goal, but he didn't know that this was actually Qu Zhi wanted to achieve as well... because Qu Zhi's schemes, at least so far, had indeed been very successful.
It can be said that Uraraka Shige manipulated by Qu Zhi from beginning to end.
With the aid of his 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige and the other two were able to leap high into the air as if they were on the moon, directly crossing the entrance passage, which was more than two meters high and made of barbed wire.
This also allowed them to dodge the first volley of shrapnel-filled ammunition fired by the patrolmen... because the patrolmen didn't have time to switch their guns from one mesh of the barbed wire fence to another, and the patrolmen who had been opening the barbed wire fence doors were just rushing out of the doors in an orderly fashion, not yet having had time to aim and fire.
But this only meant they had jumped over the first layer of barbed wire. They still had to traverse at least four more similar open areas before they could leap over the outer wall of the Discipline Prison and successfully escape.
Because they had jumped high over the first layer of barbed wire fence access passage, they attracted some patrol personnel from a distance, causing them to quickly converge on the area.
However, it would take them at least another ten seconds to reach the vicinity of Uraraka Shige. During this time, Uraraka Shige and Quirk other two took turns using Uraraka Shige's Quirk and the Quirk of the guy with the Quirk of "Crossing," successfully breaking through two of the open areas.
The patrolmen then arrived at their positions and fired at Uraraka Shige his companions through the mesh of the barbed wire fence. A large number of staggered bullets, some containing metal fragments, flew towards them, attempting to hit them and temporarily impair their control over their bodies.
However, none of the ammunition hit its target; they all flew through the air and landed on the barbed wire fence on the other side. Occasionally, some even pierced through the mesh and struck friendly forces in the passageway on the other side, which relieved some of the pressure on Uraraka Shige his companions, bringing them one step closer to escaping the Discipline Prison...
... It was that guy whose 'Quirk' was "Crossing" who used his Quirk, seemingly teleporting, to break through the barbed wire fence and arrive at the third open space.
Subsequently, due to that guy's 'Quirk' CD, if they wanted to quickly break through the next entrance passage, they could only use Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' again to make them jump high over it.
They had no choice, so they did it.
However, the expected 'accident' also befell them at this very moment.
"Ah~" "Ouch~~"
With two cries of pain, the guy with the "Crossing" Quirk and the Qu Zhi lost their balance in mid-air and fell to the ground.
Although their Uraraka Shige Quirk prevented them from falling too hard, the bullets containing metal fragments that hit them from behind still rendered them unable to move.
Now, all Uraraka Shige needs to do is stay where he is, or escape on his own as before, to achieve his and Qu Zhi's goal.
Of the two options, Uraraka Shige actually preferred the former... but at the last moment, Qu Zhi entrusted the matter to him...
"Plan B... please deliver this to them for me..."
Qu Zhi said this, and then he and that guy whose 'Quirk' Crossing began to tremble and moan incessantly, unable to make any other sounds for a short time.
Uraraka Shige, who had been so earnestly begged by Qu Zhi at the last moment, had only one choice left in order to continue receiving Qu Zhi's help in this Discipline Prison: to escape on her own, just like last time...
Thus, in the end, the escape plan was once again 'successful' for Uraraka Shige... Although Uraraka Shige soon felt something was amiss after escaping, he had no clue what to do and still had to fulfill Qu Zhi and head to Tottori Prefecture.
Come to think of it... he owes the elderly people in that village clothes and a brief period of shelter, and it seems he hasn't repaid them yet...
