A Strange City, a Stranger

The guards stationed at the entrance immediately raised their stun guns and began pre-aiming upon seeing Uraraka Shige and his two companions.

None of the guards questioned the identities or purpose of Uraraka Shige and his companions, because this Discipline Prison prohibited anyone from entering or leaving at night.

Those who would come near the entrance and exit at night, besides the night guards, are either prisoners trying to escape or the highest-ranking person in the Discipline Prison.

But that person was used to being alone in private, or when handling official business, at least two 'jail guards' would respectfully follow him.

Moreover, that person possesses special identification... These three guys, Uraraka Shige, don't seem to be that person at all...

In fact, the reason they didn't shoot directly was because the three of them, Uraraka Shige, only had a pair of underwear in their 'single room,' which wouldn't be suitable for traveling through the deep mountains and forests afterward. Therefore, each of them took a set of patrol personnel's clothes.

But that's about all the purpose of this outfit.

Uraraka Shige and his companions clearly saw the guards' blatant actions and understood what their pre-firing and aiming preparations meant.

But understanding doesn't mean you'll do it... especially for Uraraka Shige.

His main purpose in fleeing this time was to find protectors for his family who could still safeguard them under the control of 'AFO'.

And to stay away from that strange guy who came to this Discipline Prison, and to avoid the sight of 'AFO' and the others.

Either of these reasons dictates that Uraraka Shige must successfully escape.

Therefore, even though the guards had already warned him with their actions, Uraraka Shige still had to continue advancing towards the entrance and exit, despite the possibility that they might shoot him at any moment.

However, while slowing down their pace, Uraraka Shige also began to communicate with Gu Yu Rikizo.

"Gu Yu, Rikizo, can you handle them?"

While carefully watching the guards and keeping an eye on the trigger of the stun gun, Uraraka Shige questioned Gu Yu and Rikizo.

"I can't do it..."

Gu Yu was the first to give an answer, which did not surprise Uraraka Shige, since Gu Yu's 'Quirk' was only 'Robustness'.

Although this level of 'Robustness' is stronger than many other 'Quirk' that passively and continuously strengthen the body, it has been trained and brought to its extreme under the influence of Gu Yu's 'simple and silly' personality, to the point that he can even ignore the electric current released by the two patrolmen using stun guns to a certain extent.

However, the stun guns used by the guards stationed at the entrances and exits are far more powerful than the stun batons used by the patrol officers.

Needless to say, the three of them are different now than before. Instead of each being assigned several opponents, they are facing seven guards from a certain distance.

Even if an attack were to actually land on them, Gu Yu might not be able to withstand it as effectively as before.

"Perhaps I can..."

Rikizo pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

Rikizo's answer was not unexpected by Uraraka Shige.

Rikizo's Quirk is truly powerful, almost identical to Quirk of All Might, the No. 1 Hero, except that it lacks the inheritable effect of All Might's Quirk, "OFA."

But that 'Quirk' itself is a combination of two 'Quirk'...

Even so, Rikizo had been training hard towards a certain goal since childhood, accumulating all the results into his 'Quirk'. In addition, with the addition of Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' in the past few months, he has undergone a slight transformation in strength.

It can be said that once Rikizo uses his 'Quirk', it's uncertain whether the electric current contained in the stun guns of these guards can break through Rikizo's muscle defenses.

But...

"However, I won't use my 'Quirk' today. I've used it enough... If I use Quirk again, my 'Quirk' will undoubtedly begin to 'degenerate'."

In other words, if he were to use his 'Quirk' again, the muscle strength accumulated within his 'Quirk' would be greatly reduced, and his body would be nearing its limit.

The current situation is simply about helping Uraraka Shige escape; it's not about having to fight to the death with anyone... He won't use that 'Quirk' of his today.

"Is... that so..."

Uraraka Shige's tone became slightly lower.

He certainly understood what Gu Yu and Rikizo meant.

They weren't planning to give up; on the contrary, they wanted to continue helping him escape... Although Gu Yu and Rikizo didn't know exactly why he wanted to escape again, they would still continue to help him escape this Discipline Prison.

... That's all.

They only intended for Uraraka Shige to escape on her own; they themselves had no intention of leaving.

In other words... they intended to use their own failed escape as a price to send Uraraka Shige out.

This is precisely why Uraraka Shige's tone became somber.

However, he will inevitably continue his escape... for those two goals he must achieve.

"Snap~" x7

The sound was crisp, almost like a small firework ring... the sound of a firework tube being pulled and launched.

The seven guards, who were about ten steps away from Uraraka Shige and his companions, finally pulled the triggers, firing the metal electrode ammunition from their stun guns.

Gu Yu and Rikizo rushed forward one after the other to meet the 'bullets' fired from the front of the stun gun, blocking all the ammunition.

After Gu Yu and Rikizo fell, Uraraka Shige rushed out from behind them and activated his Quirk... This was thanks to Uraraka Shige's slow growth due to the training method that utilized his Quirk?

"Chaos!"

Ultimately, Uraraka Shige successfully escaped from the Discipline Prison.

After traveling for several more days through the mountains outside the prison, they finally arrived at the outskirts of an unfamiliar city.

Afterwards, he walked through all the alleys of the city, borrowed some start-up capital from many kind people to help him get home, and finally stopped at the gate of a middle school where classes were letting out at that time.

Uraraka Shige here, certainly not to see the female students... but he suddenly realized that, given his age in this life, he should be around the age to be a middle school student, right?

As well as...

"This person..."

A middle school girl, smiling sweetly with her eyes curving into crescent moons, was slowly making her way out of the school amidst the crowd of students leaving after class.

"There seems to be a vague sense of familiarity... and the smile feels so awkward..."
