[This chapter describes his growth in detail and may be a little boring. Feel free to skip it, but please read the next chapter afterward]

Then almost two years passed...

To elaborate on the progress and growth I've made in the last two years...

So, about a year and a half ago, Uraraka Shige's body seemed to have gradually adapted to the constantly increasing Gravity environment, and he finally began to develop in a more substantial way in terms of height.

Today, at fifteen years old, he's already about 1.45 meters tall, which is truly remarkable...

Despite being much shorter than his peers, and perhaps even having a girlfriend, it would be the man, Uraraka Shige, who would be the one clinging to her.

But there's a saying that goes, "The essence is in the condensed," which is perfectly applicable to him.

After all, his short stature is purely because he has been using his 'Quirk' to create a multiplied Gravity environment that only affects a single individual, allowing him to grow up in this environment year after year.

Because of this behavior, his body has been growing in an environment with stronger Gravity. His organs, bones, muscles, and even brain have all gradually adapted to this Gravity. At the same time, because of this Gravity, his muscles and bones have become denser and stronger than others, and even his internal organs have become more resilient. Even his heart's blood supply capacity has evolved to be stronger in order to resist the pressure of this high- Gravity environment.

Therefore, it can be said that he sacrificed his height in exchange for strength.

His short stature was the price of his strength.

... Of course, this is also because his 'Quirk' allows him to have an extremely high tolerance for changes in Gravity, which enables him to do so. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably suffer various kinds of damage due to their inability to adapt when their body suddenly experiences a sudden change in Gravity...

This only considers endurance. His explosive power and agility under normal Gravity —that is, his strength, endurance, and agility—have also greatly improved. So far, compared to his peers without Quirk, he's probably two to three times stronger.

About a year ago, his 'Quirk' hit a bottleneck. After reaching 99%, the Gravity he manipulated could not be improved any further and could not reach 100%.

However, the reason for this bottleneck was something he hadn't anticipated.

As mentioned before, the 99% Gravity manipulation level here refers to 99% of the maximum Gravity he can theoretically manipulate. And the maximum Gravity he can theoretically manipulate has an upper limit.

This upper limit can naturally be improved or broken through. The way to break through is to continuously improve his physical fitness, increase his stamina and endurance, and improve his physical endurance, so that he can withstand more of the Burden and physical exhaustion when using his 'Quirk'.

The bottleneck in his 'Quirk' arose precisely because of this reason.

Because his body had adapted to the Gravity environment created by the technique of 'Heavy Shackles', his physical abilities developed quite rapidly, causing his training of 'Quirk' and his ability to manipulate 'Quirk' to fall behind.

In this situation, it would be quite good if he could maintain his control over Gravity between 99% and 100% without a drop or regression of more than 0.5 percentage points.

This bottleneck was finally broken through by him through hard training six months ago, allowing him to achieve 100% control over Gravity.

And after he was able to freely manipulate all Gravity within his range, the changes he had foreseen began to occur.

First, let's talk about the basic skills.

Originally, even 99% of the time, he could only use the technique of 'rising' to slow down his descent. At most, he could only slow down the descent to an extremely small degree. Even a small updraft would be enough to propel him upwards.

Even so, he still cannot levitate in mid-air in a windless environment or in the presence of downdrafts.

Not to mention continuing to ascend in the air or moving freely.

However, once he achieved 100% control over Gravity, all these limitations disappeared.

It's not just that he can use the technique of 'ascending' to hover and fly in the air. To be precise, his three 'Quirk' techniques of 'ascending/leveling/falling' all revert to their original state after he gained 100% control over Gravity within his range.

It can be manipulated freely without needing to consciously control Gravity to use a particular technique... it becomes almost instinctive, requiring no mental effort.

Although physical exertion still exists, even birds need to expend energy to Incite their wings and fly. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Uraraka Shige needs to expend physical energy to manipulate Gravity and fly in the air.

In addition to these three basic techniques, the two basic moves, 'strike' and 'chaos', have also undergone significant changes.

Firstly, the "strike" technique didn't become instinctive like the three basic techniques of "rise/level/fall". It was only because Uraraka Shige was finally able to manipulate Gravity within the range of Quirk "Quirk" that it received a huge improvement in all aspects.

The technique of 'striking' is essentially about manipulating Gravity to cause a sudden change in a certain part of the Gravity, emphasizing the instantaneous nature of the change, so that the target is affected when caught off guard.

Originally, using this technique required a brief pre-cast time to adjust one's mind and gather Gravity. However, after Uraraka Shige achieved 100% control over Gravity within the 'Quirk' range, this technique became truly instantaneous, requiring only a thought to activate.

Originally, this technique could only mobilize a limited amount of Gravity to form a very limited force. However, now, when Uraraka Shige uses this technique again, she can directly concentrate all the Gravity within the range of her Quirk and release it in an instant in the direction in which the technique is used.

It can be said that both the suddenness of this technique and its power have undergone more than a multiple increase in progress and change.

Then, regarding the move 'Chaos', when this move was originally used, in pursuit of power and effect, control was sacrificed, resulting in the direction of that part of Gravity being completely disordered.

Now, not only has there been a slight improvement in effectiveness and power, but more importantly, there has also been a tremendous improvement in controllability.

Now, Uraraka Shige can precisely adjust the direction of Gravity in various parts of her body when using this technique, thus expending considerable effort to maximize its power and effect...

Well, what used to only achieve a random control effect and damage, with the outcome entirely dependent on luck, can now achieve the most needed control effect and deal the most appropriate damage every time it's used...

Of all these basic skills, only 'Burden' and 'Shackles' remain as training techniques, offering only minor improvements in precision control. The skill 'power' (used when first encountering the Gray Rat Society Gang thugs), which requires psychological manipulation, provides almost no improvement, except that it can be better used in conjunction with certain potentially low-level psychological suggestion techniques.

Moreover, this technique is not something that Uraraka Shige himself uses very often.

It can be said that almost all the basic techniques for using "Quirk" have seen some improvement and growth... except for Uraraka Shige the essence of "Quirk" through the "line"...

Because this technique simply solidifies and materializes/summons the 'lines' that Uraraka Shige can only see because of his 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige's control over the 'lines' technique is truly and completely unimproved and undeveloped.

If these basic techniques have undergone such a significant transformation, then other techniques and moves developed based on them will naturally not remain unchanged.

Firstly, the 'Screen/Block' move has seen a significant improvement in its release speed, release distance, and the blocking/control effect after release.

If the original 'Screen/Resistance' could only be released centered on Uraraka Shige's palm, then the current 'Screen/Resistance' can now be released out of thin air at any location within the influence range of Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk'.

At the same time, when using this move, Uraraka Shige originally needed to concentrate and control the position and direction of the Gravity effect little by little. Now, Uraraka Shige can adjust the direction of the Gravity in an instant. Therefore, this move has changed from the original 'continuous casting' that required concentration to 'instant casting' with only about 0.15 seconds of casting animation.

In terms of effectiveness, it has evolved from only being able to block or shield things like sandbags and badminton shuttlecocks to being able to directly block projectiles like baseballs and bricks, or temporarily suppress a person, forcibly rendering them temporarily unable to move.

The growth of the two moves, 'Scattered' and 'Armor', is also similar... 'Armor' can now cover the entire body for a long time, and at the same time, it can apply 'Shackles' and reduce some physical damage, while 'Scattered' can now pull away those who get too close to Uraraka Shige by Gravity.

Then there's the 'Star/Fragment' technique, which offers a significant boost compared to the other advanced techniques mentioned above.

Uraraka Shige can now use this technique to flick rice grains or pebbles with his fingers, producing a force similar to that of a small slingshot. If he uses it by throwing or hitting with a stick, the power will be multiplied.

Furthermore, the most important aspect is the development of some new moves.

For example, the 'Ring' Uraraka Shige. Moreover, thanks to his ability to manipulate Gravity, which has been improved to 100%, Uraraka Shige can now apply the 'Ring' technique to thrown stones. When the 'Ring' is driven into the target's body, there is no need to detonate the Gravity through physical contact. Instead, it can be detonated directly within the range of the 'Quirk' from a 'far' distance.

There were also two new techniques that were inspired by the 'Chain' technique... which have now been renamed 'Absolute' and 'Practice' by Uraraka Shige...

However, these two techniques are actually quite similar. The only difference is that 'Absolute' uses the manipulation of Gravity to attach Gravity to certain objects, creating traps... Currently, the objects created by this technique are only effective within the 'Quirk' range and can only be used as throwing traps. Moreover, this method of use will cause the effect to overlap with 'Chain'... making it rather useless.

'Training' allows one to manipulate Gravity, concentrating Gravity on certain objects to give them special effects, and then using these objects as weapons and tools... It can even be used to detonate things through the technique of 'Chaos'... Although it is also limited to the influence of 'Quirk', it is originally used to create temporary weapons, so it is unexpectedly useful.

Then there are some new ideas for developing techniques... For example, because of the range of influence of his 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige wondered if he could create something like a signal tower to transmit signals and increase his range of Gravity manipulation... Unfortunately, so far he can only think about it, because he simply doesn't have the ability to do it.

And the initial development of some new techniques... For example, because of the existence of the alloy fence, Uraraka Shige had a whimsical idea one day and tried to manipulate pure Gravity to form one Gravity pillar after another... Unfortunately, his current abilities are limited; he can only gather this Gravity, but cannot form a proper cylinder...

In short, that concludes our discussion of growth and progress...

In addition, he also experienced some noteworthy events in the past two years...

For example, since the original plot is almost starting, Uraraka Shige has escaped this Discipline Prison once again... For example, during his escape, Uraraka Shige freed many 'independent special educators' in the central Discipline Prison area... For example, among these 'independent special educators', there was actually Qu Zhi... And for example, these 'independent special educators' caused a lot of trouble within this Discipline Prison, to the point that Uraraka Shige was finally and completely identified as an 'enemy,' with no room for reconciliation... Keep in mind that he is only fifteen years old in this life, not even an adult yet!
