An Unexpected Person

In an open area behind a suburban apartment building, accompanied by a fluctuation that was barely perceptible to humans, the air in mid-air was distorted in a small area, and a cylindrical shape could be vaguely seen.

"This actually works..."

Uraraka Shige stood on the ground of this open space, looking at the scene that was slightly suspended above her palm, feeling quite incredulous.

"It's actually possible to manipulate Gravity simply by using 'Quirk' to change Gravity and create 'shape'..."

It is indeed quite unbelievable and unscientific, but thanks to his 'Quirk' and the 'learning' and 'effort' he has put in the past three months, he has actually accomplished this.

Although it's not entirely accurate to describe it as a 'form,' the air, distorted by Gravity, does indeed allow for some degree of 'observation' with the Uraraka Shige eye!

Although this was only an indirect 'observation' through the air, it was still something he had never encountered before.

This is enough to demonstrate his progress in manipulating his 'Quirk' and his imagination over these three months.

Uraraka Shige was extremely excited, because now that she had achieved this, other possibilities were not entirely unimaginable... such as techniques like 'Chibaku Tensei' and 'Shinra Tensei,' which had only existed in her fantasies in her previous life, and even...

"If one day... I could Compress and condense all the Gravity within a range of hundreds or even thousands of meters into a single point..."

Although he is still a long way from that time, he undoubtedly possesses the qualities to one day achieve it.

Similarly, once this is achieved, regarding other unfinished techniques and newly developed techniques...

'Screen!'

Uraraka Shige, palm facing forward. Immediately, a square about the size of a palm appeared in the air in front of him, twisting. Although it was smaller, compared to the half-finished 'screen' he had used before, this barrier undoubtedly possessed a certain degree of defensive capability.

"Disperse!"

Uraraka Shige removed the square barrier formed by the Compress by Gravity in his palm. Instead, a gentle breeze suddenly blew outwards from his body, and several wild grasses at his feet suddenly fell outwards from Uraraka Shige. It looked somewhat like the scene that could be created when a master circulates internal energy, causing the internal energy to radiate outwards.

He intends to develop this technique to the point of being a 'domain' in the future; as for now... it's at best a 'prototype'?

"Armor!"

After trying the 'Disperse' technique, Uraraka Shige clenched her fists again, with her knuckles facing each other in front of her chest and abdomen. At the same time, the square barrier that had appeared in her palms now appeared at her chest, just like the previous cylindrical barrier, distorting the air to present a rounded, scale-like shape.

Like the previous three moves, the 'armor' at this moment is limited by the maximum amount of Gravity that Uraraka Shige can manipulate. Not to mention covering the whole body, he can't even form a large enough 'scale' on his chest. However, as long as the Gravity that he can manipulate with his 'Quirk' is further enhanced, sooner or later he will be able to truly wear a full-body armor made of Gravity.

···

After the training ended, Uraraka Shige practiced using the various techniques again before returning to the suburban apartment where her Qu Zhi, lived. At the same time, she pondered whether she should leave and go back to see her family in this life.

Just as he was about to reach his room in the apartment, a familiar voice called out to him from behind.

"Hey kid! I've been looking for you for ages!"

Uraraka Shige paused, turned around, and found that behind her was the guy with a head of Granny Gray hair.

"Tsk..."

Uraraka Shige curled his lip in displeasure. Although this Granny Gray had helped him a few times, he genuinely didn't like him and even disliked him...

You came to see me?

Uraraka Shige.

Granny Gray scratched her hair, her face indeed looking much more tired and weathered than it had been two years ago, and she even seemed to be growing a small mustache on her chin.

He said:

"Ah, that's right, kid. I came here specifically to find you. It took me ages to find out about you..."

It sounded like a complaint, which suddenly made Uraraka Shige feel a little irritated, but fortunately, Granny Gray knew that Uraraka Shige didn't like what she was saying, so she didn't give Uraraka Shige a chance to respond and continued:

"Because a very important person wants to see you, and I happen to be working for this person right now, I can't take you to meet him."

Uraraka Shige, a half-smile on her face, intending to mock him.

Do you think I'll listen to you? Do you think I'll just do whatever you tell me to do? Who do you think you are?

These words, which sounded quite villainous, didn't anger Granny Gray. Instead, he seemed oblivious to the blatant, shallow sarcasm, his expression remaining unchanged, and he even laughed... though it looked more like a bitter laugh...

"Well... anyway, I helped you a lot back then... can't you help me back now? Like 'All Might'?"

The curve of Uraraka Shige's lips into a smile appeared even more disdainful.

"Looks like you've investigated me quite thoroughly... But you mentioned All Might? You actually compared yourself to All Might?"

"No..."

Granny Gray had barely begun to speak when Uraraka Shige interrupted her.

"Even if you truly lack self-awareness, All Might genuinely saved my life, while you've been 'using' me for your own purposes! What right do you have to question that?"

"What's wrong? Wasn't this person here to see you?"

Uraraka Shige's repeated words caught the attention of the green-haired mushroom-headed man who also lived in the apartment.

"Unfortunately, this despicable fellow is indeed here to see me..."

Uraraka Shige regretfully admitted this, and then said to Granny Gray:

"So, now you're in charge of convincing me. What kind of reason do you want to give?"

Granny Gray remained silent for a while, then suddenly changed her expression. Although she still had a fake smile on her lips, her attitude became slightly serious.

He said:

"Whether you admit it or not, I did help you. And meeting that important person would be of great help to your current situation. I'm fairly well-informed, and you'll definitely need my help."

Granny Gray, seeing that Uraraka Shige's attitude had softened slightly, took out a trump card.

"Furthermore, it's not suitable for you to personally handle matters concerning your family, but I happen to be able to offer you some assistance."
