In the end Shigaraki left first, leaving all the matters of the conversation to Kurogiri.

Logically speaking, at this point he had not yet experienced the invasion of U.A. High School., nor had he experienced the defeat brought upon him by All Might and the students of Class 1-A of U.A. High School.

He probably doesn't think he needs help from others now.

But he still left the empty room, tacitly accepting that Uraraka Shige would become his 'comrade'... The only possibility is probably that it was his teacher's (AFO's) wish?

Uraraka Shige was happy to talk to Kurogiri, since Shigaraki was being far too capricious, while Kurogiri seemed quite calm and reliable. It would be much easier and more pleasant to talk to her than to communicate with Shigaraki.

As for the conversation, the specifics of their discussion were simply to get Uraraka Shige into their group.

On this point, Uraraka Shige, who had already arrived here, had reached a consensus with them in his heart... After all, he was now on someone else's territory, like a fish on a chopping board; if he didn't agree, he would die.

Even so, Uraraka Shige still needed to negotiate with Kurogiri first, partly to secure some benefits for herself... or rather, to minimize her limitations. On the other hand, it was also to increase her value... or rather, her worth, so that her situation wouldn't be too dire after she actually joined.

After all, judging from the previous situation, he and Shigaraki undoubtedly did not get along very well.

This negotiation did not take very long in total.

Although Uraraka Shige didn't actually want to become an 'enemy', he had no other choice at the moment.

Moreover, Shigaraki is a member of 'AFO', and although 'AFO' suffered a major defeat in its battle with All Might a few years ago, causing its status to plummet and even making it afraid to appear in public, it still has many old members in secret.

Kurogiri possesses the intelligence about him gathered by his former subordinates, including a detailed account of the reasons for his imprisonment in the Discipline Prison.

Adding to the numerous twists and turns of the previous judgments, it can be said that he is no longer destined to become a 'hero' in this life. Even if he just wants to be an ordinary person, it will be extremely difficult because of what he did a few years ago.

Under these circumstances, and after a sincere conversation with the Kurogiri, Uraraka Shige finally decided on his future path in this life.

It must be said, this is truly an extremely important decision... He will join the faction of the Kurogiri and become one of them as a 'comrade'.

... he will become an 'enemy'.

Hmm...

However, joining them and becoming an 'enemy' also has very obvious and immediate 'advantages'.

First of all, there's no need to worry about myself and my family in this life suffering retaliation from 'AFO' anymore; this point needs no further explanation.

Secondly, he no longer needs to try to hide... since he has already been discovered and brought here, he can now focus on developing and growing in peace during the two years preceding the events of the original story.

Besides these two points, as someone from this region, he will naturally receive protection from them.

Furthermore, if he wanted to, joining this place would allow him to secretly do something using his current identity, thus preparing for the start of the original story's plot two years later... although it would be difficult for him to exploit this, otherwise he wouldn't have remained a low-level character until the end in his previous life...

At most, he could use his 'precognition' advantage—knowing the original plot—to do something after the story begins... like secretly recruiting those 'enemies' who later join the 'League of Villains'...

However, if he later wishes to repay All Might for saving his life, perhaps he could start from here...

Besides these, there were other things that, while not exactly 'benefits,' also concerned him greatly.

For example, his older sister in this life— Ochaco Uraraka.

He knew exactly what his older sister was thinking, and the family's situation in this life wasn't any better than in the original story... in fact, it was worse because of the extra member... Looking at it this way, he really was a failure as a transmigrator...

Therefore, his older sister will inevitably, just like in the original story, attend U.A. High School and strive to become a 'hero,' obtain a hero's license, and gain the right to use her 'Quirk.'

Uraraka Shige, who has already joined the League of Villains and become Tomura Shigaraki's 'comrade,' will inevitably appear on the battlefield during the invasion of U.A. High School in the original story. The scene of the siblings reuniting then will likely not be heartwarming; instead, it will probably leave him feeling incredibly awkward...

"Hmm... that's a problem... maybe I should prepare a full-body cloak?"

Given Uraraka Shige's current height, it should be quite easy for him to obtain a full-body cloak that could cover his entire body, allowing him to conceal his identity and avoid revealing himself to acquaintances.

Then there's All Might's side... He's now an 'enemy,' and he probably won't be able to openly appear in front of All Might anymore... He doesn't think his small frame can withstand a full combo from All Might... not even a heavily injured All Might.

Ultimately, after this conversation, or rather, negotiation, Uraraka Shige's gains were roughly the points mentioned above. There were other points not mentioned, but for the time being, they are probably not worth too much attention.

After deciding to join the future League of Villains, Uraraka Shige stayed here for a few days. He then went to visit his own family and Qu Zhi Gu Yu's family to make sure they were all well and in good health. After that, Uraraka Shige went to visit Granny Songju.

As it happened, Momotani Hanawa was in the apartment at the time, so Uraraka Shige had a chat with her about the latest 'Quirk' training tips, and felt that he had gained some insights.

After everything was mostly settled, Uraraka Shige finally felt completely at ease and began to focus all her efforts on training her 'Quirk' and physique, incorporating her latest gains into her previously formulated plan to become stronger.

However, after a few days of training, Uraraka Shige discovered that this kind of intense training was completely unsuitable for the social environment outside, where there were many interpersonal interactions. Not only would various things disturb his training, but he would also have to prepare for his own basic needs like eating, drinking, and using the restroom...

After saying goodbye to Kurogiri and Shigaraki, Uraraka Shige returned to the Discipline Prison once again.

This time, however, Uraraka Shige was no longer imprisoned in a private cell, but rather, like Sakinagi Shushin before, in the central core area of a separate zone.

This time, he also became an 'independent special educator'...

And coincidentally, and what he doesn't know is that Qu Zhi, who disappeared in the Discipline Prison, was actually imprisoned there because he had investigated some information he shouldn't have known.
