Gu Yuji, Kurasu Rikizo
We've already talked a lot about life in this 'special cell,' but to prevent Uraraka Shige 'escaping' again, the detention period in this 'special cell' has been set at a full six months.
After six months, a decision will be made on whether to extend the detention period.
However, this time, life in the 'special single room' was not as boring and tedious as the previous two times... or rather, although it was just as boring and tedious, and just as it made Uraraka Shige only able to concentrate on exercising to dissipate his energy and pass the time.
But this time, at the end of the first month after Uraraka Shige was locked in a solitary cell, a guy who had been "punished" for causing a serious group fight was sent to an empty solitary cell next to him...
It's that big, 'simple-minded' guy Gu Yu.
When Uraraka Shige showed great surprise upon seeing that he too had been locked in an empty 'single room' next to his own, this was how Gu Yu answered his question...
"They all want to deceive and take advantage of me, I don't like that. I came to you because you're my friend."
Well, through this sentence, Uraraka Shige once again confirmed that Gu Yu, this 'simple and silly' guy, wasn't actually stupid. He was just too 'straightforward' in his head, to the point that he couldn't even think normally.
If you put him in a passageway with only forward and backward directions, he will only walk forward or backward. At most, he might wonder why he got there and observe his surroundings before he leaves.
He wouldn't try to call for help, nor would he try to make his walk easier... of course, he wouldn't just sit there waiting for things to change, or waste time...
In his view, regardless of why he entered this passage, since it has a front and a back, he only needs to walk forward or backward, and there will inevitably be a moment when he can walk out of this passage.
Because for him, it didn't matter whether there was anything in his surroundings that could help him get out of this passage as soon as possible... no, that didn't matter, because he wouldn't even think about it until he felt tired.
... The reason he looked around was probably to see if he recognized the place, whether it was a place he had been to before...
If so, try to recall whether you should go forward or backward through this passage, whether you came here to do something and ended up passing through... but you've just suddenly forgotten.
If not... then just pick any direction, either front or back.
The reason they wouldn't stay in one place is even simpler... because this passage definitely leads out, but sitting idly and waiting won't get them out...
Walking, after all, requires moving your legs... not just letting your buttocks rub against the ground to move horizontally and then using QLX (a motion similar to a walking stick). It's not about controlling your gluteal muscles to make them move side to side like legs... Nobody does that; that's too stupid...
In Gu Yu's mind, there were only thoughts like, "Oh, I see! Then I'll just smash him into a pancake (if I can't smash him, I'll just ignore him). Oh, I see! But I'll still do it. Oh, I see! What the hell does that have to do with me?!"
Such as...
But that doesn't mean he's stupid.
In fact, it is precisely because of this straightforward way of thinking that he sees things more clearly than the average person!
Just like some truly 'foolish' guys who, ironically, possess a kind of 'characteristic' intuition!
Otherwise, those who wanted to take advantage of him wouldn't have been able to sense the 'malice' emanating from him as soon as they started talking to him or even just appeared in front of him, and he wouldn't have been able to discover that these guys had ulterior motives for approaching him.
Although Uraraka Shige did have his own purpose in approaching him, the simple reason that Uraraka Shige to get close to Gu Yu was that "this guy is easy to understand and doesn't cause any trouble to get along with." This simple reason was undoubtedly easy for Gu Yu to accept.
This is precisely why Gu Yu truly considers Uraraka Shige a friend... After all, they gradually grew closer because they felt relaxed and happy together, isn't that the only reason they became friends?!
As for mutual help and loyalty among friends... that's something that happens after you become friends, brothers, or best friends...
Gu Yu 'Gu Yu words perfectly illustrate his personality and way of thinking... He dislikes those guys because they want to deceive and exploit him, and he stays away from them. He seeks out Uraraka Shige because Uraraka Shige is his friend, even if it means being 'punished'.
After Gu Yu was also locked in a 'single room', Uraraka Shige not only passed the time by exercising every day in a monotonous way, but also gained a friend with whom she could communicate and talk.
So another half month passed, about eleven or twelve days. In a vacant 'single room' in a certain area near Uraraka Shige where a person under supervision had just returned to the 'normal area', a new 'owner' whom Uraraka Shige knew was welcomed.
That's right, this time it's Kurasu Rikizo, the training fanatic.
I forget if I've already mentioned it before, but Kurasu Rikizo is trying to become stronger in order to catch up with 'someone' in his family. Unfortunately, his intelligence is only average, and he's not good at expressing himself... whether it's words, facial expressions, or anything else... So in the end, all he can do is constantly strengthen his 'Quirk' and 'physique' in order to catch up with 'someone' he wants to catch up with.
It can be said that until now, before encountering an event that could transform him, everything he has done has only one purpose—to become stronger, to become even stronger, and to become stronger at a faster pace, in a shorter time, and with a more solid foundation.
Therefore, his purpose in coming to the 'single room' was naturally only one thing... to use Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' to accelerate his own growth... After trying faster and better ways to become stronger, as a training fanatic, he had become somewhat 'addicted' to it.
Moreover, the Gravity field created by Uraraka Shige through his 'Quirk' is not just an 'experience boost' for him.
To reiterate, his Quirk is "Muscle Strength Storage." When he doesn't actively use this Quirk, he limits his physical condition (muscles, stamina, and strength) to a very low level. Any muscle strength exceeding this limit is stored away.
When he actively uses this 'Quirk', he will instantly unleash his stored muscles and strength in a way that consumes his energy.
Although he can control the intensity of his Quirk when using it, the passive effect of this Quirk means that he is extremely weak when he is not using Quirk.
Although the change occurs instantly when used, it means he won't be unable to unleash his 'Quirk' when needed.
However, his long-term 'weak' physical condition, and the fact that his 'Quirk' can only store muscle and muscle strength, means that when he uses his 'Quirk,' the sudden burst of muscle and strength will put a tremendous strain on or even damage his internal organs, bones, fascia, skin, and even his eyes, brain, and vital organs.
Uraraka Shige the Gravity field created by his Quirk for training can compensate for this weakness to some extent. Although his Quirk dictates that his internal organs, bones, and other non-muscular parts can only remain in a very weak state at best, he can use this Gravity field to allow his organs to adapt to this high-pressure environment in other ways, ultimately reducing the damage he will suffer when using his Quirk and extending the duration of his Quirk's use.
