"Escape" ⑦

Having decided to prioritize evasion and delay in response to his lack of strength, Uraraka Shige did not go to sleep peacefully. Instead, he planned to escape from this Discipline Prison that very night and get away from this strange man.

That strange fellow was making him extremely uneasy, and he wanted to get out of his sight as soon as possible.

However, if Uraraka Shige wanted to escape, he couldn't just blindly rush out.

Not to mention that there are four guards stationed around the 'single room', even if you leave this 'single room' area, you will inevitably encounter other night guards and night patrols on the road.

Moreover, since it was nighttime, the passageways and corridors along the patrol routes outside were all equipped with dedicated lighting facilities, making them as bright as day, leaving no place for anyone to hide.

Therefore, even if Uraraka Shige breaks through this 'single room area', he will have nowhere to hide once he enters the outer passage, and will be exposed to all the guards, patrols, and surveillance cameras.

At that point, Uraraka Shige would only have three options: give up on escaping and surrender to Gui Gui, or take advantage of the short fifteen seconds before the personnel were in place to break through all obstacles and escape, or force his way through the inescapable trap set up after discovering that he was preparing to escape again.

... Aside from the first option, which is one that Uraraka Shige would never choose, the other two are both impossible... at least, Uraraka Shige is certainly incapable of doing them.

Therefore, if Uraraka Shige really wants to escape tonight, he must come up with a feasible plan.

This method was never something Uraraka Shige couldn't think of... on the contrary, it was practically right under his nose, something he could easily discover.

That's exactly the method he's been using these past few years whenever he's wanted to do something...

After all, what one person cannot do, a group of people may be able to do as well.

However, the only people around him who could offer him help were the other inmates also locked in their 'single cells'.

However, once he releases these disciplined individuals, not to mention that some of them, who have long harbored grudges, will inevitably start fighting without regard for anything else, and the resulting commotion will surely awaken that strange fellow.

Even if all the detainees in the 'special single rooms' were released, the number would only be close to one hundred. In comparison, the number of guards in this 'special single room area' is four times the number of detainees.

Moreover, these guards would absolutely not allow Uraraka Shige to easily release the detainees from the surrounding 'single cells'.

Boom boom...

Uraraka Shige's teeth began to clench together forcefully, even making a 'crunching' sound.

He's suddenly starting to get a little irritable.

He began to have some hope that the guy who Qu Zhi was in a 'special private room' nearby, and that he knew his thoughts and difficulties, and would give him a good suggestion.

Although he didn't consider himself a fool, he wasn't exactly a smart person either, and sometimes he really couldn't think of any good solutions.

"Fine... let's do it this way."

Ultimately, feeling increasingly frustrated and less likely to come up with a good solution, Uraraka Shige made a decision.

"Gu Yu? Rikizo?"

He first called out to the two men who could be considered his companions, and quickly received a response from Gu Yu and Rikizo.

"Hmm..." "Hmm?"

Gu Yu's voice sounded somewhat dazed, as if he had heard someone calling him in his sleep and had unconsciously hummed a sound.

Meanwhile, Rikizo was panting heavily, letting out a nasal sound of confusion, seemingly still exercising... Truly befitting of the training fanatic Rikizo!

Uraraka Shige did not directly state why she had called them, but continued to call out to Gu Yu until she woke him up.

"Gu Yu, wake up, Gu Yu!"

After Gu Yu also regained consciousness and expressed similar confusion, Uraraka Shige then said:

"I need your help."

Gu Yu and Rikizo were somewhat confused by Uraraka Shige's request for help, because Uraraka Shige had not said what he needed their help with.

Therefore, Gu Yu and Rikizo reacted differently to Uraraka Shige's request for help.

"Help? What is it?"

While continuing his training, Rikizo asked Uraraka Shige what it was that required his help.

"Oh."

Gu Yu simply nodded in agreement. He didn't care what Uraraka Shige needed his help with; he just knew that Uraraka Shige had asked him for help, and as Uraraka Shige's friend, he should help him.

When Rikizo asked him questions, Uraraka Shige did not tell him the truth, but simply repeated his request for help.

"I need your help, Rikizo."

So Rikizo had no choice but to ignore his curiosity about what Uraraka Shige was asking for help with and agree to help Uraraka Shige... After all, he still needed Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' as an 'experience boost' to gain higher training efficiency and growth speed.

After Gu Yu and Rikizo agreed to help him, Uraraka Shige no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and then stood up.

"I need your help!"

Uraraka Shige repeated her plea for help, but this time her voice was completely undisguised, making it extremely loud in the quiet environment and waking up many of the sleeping students...

Disturbing my peaceful sleep.

At the same time, under the cover of this statement, Uraraka Shige quietly activated his 'Quirk' again, directly condensing the 'lines' that he could 'see' due to his 'Quirk' —the source of his ability to manipulate Gravity —into reality through 'manifestation' or 'extraction'.

This is the essence of his 'Quirk'.

So far, what he knows is that these 'lines' allow him to manipulate Gravity indirectly, but manipulating these 'lines' consumes his own physical strength.

Furthermore, if these were directly 'summoned' into his current world, these 'threads' would appear in the world in their 'true form,' visible only through his 'Quirk,' losing their ability to indirectly manipulate Gravity and gaining new characteristics... such as sharpness, strength, ease of manipulation, and an extremely unusual attraction that instills a sense of crisis, etc.

Once he cancels the condensation of these 'lines' in reality, they will instantly vanish into nothingness.
