==Then almost two years passed...

For the past two years, Uraraka Shige's life has been mostly calm and uneventful. Every day consists of training her "Quirk," exercising her body, eating, resting, sleeping, and excretion.

Without a doubt, the part that needs the least detailed description is how Uraraka Shige uses the toilet... I doubt anyone would be interested in that, and none of the readers of this book have teeth good enough to do so...

Eating, resting, and sleeping are things that almost everyone experiences every day, so detailed descriptions of them can naturally be excluded.

The next step is training in 'Quirk' and physical fitness.

As for the training methods, due to the environment, Uraraka Shige didn't have any suitable equipment for training, so there wasn't much variation, and therefore it doesn't need to be mentioned too much... Then there's the improvement in terms of 'Quirk' and physical fitness.

In fact, many people who exercise regularly, as well as those who exercise occasionally, know that it generally takes at least half a month to a month to see noticeable changes and improvements in physical fitness.

In the Uraraka Shige has devoted a lot of time to exercise and training every day, so the growth and progress he has made is not just a little bit.

In fact, after nearly two years of persistent physical training and 'Quirk' development, Uraraka Shige's combat strength has undergone a dramatic transformation compared to two years ago.

When it comes to Uraraka Shige's combat strength, it is almost entirely composed of physical attributes and 'Quirk', with fighting skills also accounting for a small part. Much of this part has been absorbed by Uraraka Shige and turned into his own fighting instinct, so he basically does not deliberately use a certain fighting move in battle.

Therefore, fighting skills are not worth mentioning for now; the main focus of growth should be on physical fitness and 'Quirk'.

Regarding both physical fitness and 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige's growth in 'Quirk' is itself based on changes in physical fitness. In this case, there is no doubt that improvements in physical fitness are more important than the growth of 'Quirk'... because improvements in physical fitness inherently mean that 'Quirk' will grow as a result.

First of all, in terms of physical fitness, or physique, Uraraka Shige's growth has been remarkable.

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 decent way in terms of size.

This developmental process only began to show signs of slowing down and stopping about six months ago.

The most obvious change that this year-long growth and development brought to Uraraka Shige was undoubtedly his height. He grew from about 1.18 to 1.275 meters when he was thirteen years old to almost 1.45 meters.

Although he still has a certain height disadvantage compared to some of his peers, and even when he's hugging and cuddling with his girlfriend, the idiom "petite and delicate" can't be used to describe her; instead, it's used to describe him...

But besides this idiom, there is another saying that can perfectly describe him... it's called 'Condensation is the essence'.

Because hidden within his seemingly short stature are bones and muscles that are denser and more solid than others, tendons, blood vessels and internal organs that are more resilient and stronger than others, bone and blood production functions and heart blood supply functions that are stronger than others, lung capacity and oxygen delivery capacity that are stronger than others, system secretion capacity, digestion and filtration capacity that are superior to others.

All of this gave him greater resistance, endurance, and adaptability than others, enabling him to survive more easily than ordinary people and possessing greater physical strength, explosive power, and reaction speed.

In other words... what was that saying again?

"He got shorter, but he got stronger."

"Being short is the price of strength!"

"Justice, execute!" (Fog)

Such as ==

Cough...

Because of the tremendous growth and improvement in his physique, that is, his physical fitness, the rate at which his 'Quirk' potential could be increased also naturally became faster.

However, this also creates a problem... because the rate at which the upper limit of Gravity that his 'Quirk' can manipulate increases is faster, causing his ability to control his 'Quirk' to improve in a way that seems to be lagging behind.

In this situation, about a year ago, his progress in Gravity manipulation finally hit a bottleneck, stuck at 99%, unable to break through to 100%.

Once this bottleneck appeared, it hindered Uraraka Shige for half a year.

Until six months ago, due to the stagnation of his rapid physical development, Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' growth rate resumed, finally allowing him to break through the bottleneck that had kept him just one step away from 100%.

He was finally able to fully grasp, to a certain extent, all the existence of Gravity within the scope of 'Quirk'.

Although this part also has an upper limit, it is roughly the Gravity a four-ton object should be able to withstand in a natural environment.

In other words, he can now use his 'Quirk' to control objects within the scope of his 'Quirk' that do not exceed a certain size and weigh no more than four tons.

Furthermore, because his 'Quirk' grants him an extremely high tolerance for changes in Gravity, he doesn't experience the same maladjustments as his older sister in this life, Ochaco Uraraka, who suffers from Quirk 'Quirk's' influence.

Moreover, due to the existence of this incarnation of Uraraka Shige, and because he has used the technique of 'Shackles' to train with Ochaco since childhood, Ochaco has developed a certain degree of tolerance to changes in Gravity and a certain degree of resistance to the side effects caused by changes in Gravity.

It's likely that Ochaco in this life will be stronger and more outstanding than the Ochaco of this time in the original story, right?

... After he achieved 100% control over Gravity and raised the upper limit of Gravity to 4t (referring to the Gravity that a four-ton object should withstand, not just the weight of the four-ton object itself), the changes he had initially foreseen began to occur.

The most significant changes were to the three basic techniques: 'rise/level/fall'. In addition, there was the advanced technique 'combo', which had already taken shape at the time.

Among them, the three basic techniques of 'rising/leveling/falling' originally changed the direction of Gravity in the same way but in different ways, but today they will produce different effects and will take up a lot of energy.

Now, these three skills have all become instinctive. Not only do they no longer require any effort to use, but the effects they produce have also greatly improved and changed.

At least, Uraraka Shige is now able to fly freely at a certain altitude in the air using these three techniques, instead of only being able to glide using her 'Quirk' as before.

The advanced technique 'Chain' has now been fully developed. Not only can it only be used in close-quarters combat as originally envisioned, but it can also be attached to projectiles and detonated without direct contact as long as it does not exceed the 'Quirk's' influence range. It can be considered a kind of auxiliary attack method.

Unfortunately, because this technique is essentially about adjusting and altering Gravity, after being hit by this technique multiple times, the target will very likely find themselves experiencing discomfort due to the accumulation of a large number of Gravity points within their body.

If the changes among these three basic skills and this advanced skill are the greatest, then the skill about 'line', which relates to Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' essence, is undoubtedly the one that has changed the least... In fact, this skill itself has not changed at all due to Uraraka Shige's breakthrough.

"Judging by the time... it's about time to begin, isn't it?"

Sitting in the cell made of alloy bars, Uraraka Shige suddenly stopped exercising, sighed inexplicably, then stood up and walked to the edge of the alloy bars.

Yamahara, who was standing at the edge of the alloy wall separated from Uraraka Shige only by an alloy gate, stopped his training and looked at Uraraka Shige with a serious expression.

He had a bad feeling.

He had undergone a complete transformation compared to two years ago. Not only had his body become full of fat, but his muscles had also become strong and powerful. Even his eyes, which used to look tired, were now bright and alert.

Instead of losing weight, he gained even more, and his muscle and bone density increased several times over. As a result, his original weaknesses, such as reaction speed and movement speed, became much faster and even surpassed those of ordinary people.

Yamahara's 'Quirk' is surprisingly well-suited to Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk', even more so than Rikizo's, for training in the Gravity environment maintained by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk'.

What do you want to do?

Yamahara questioned Uraraka Shige in a serious tone, with a hint of warning.

However, Uraraka Shige did not pay attention to him as usual. Instead, he raised his right hand to his eyes, clenched it into a fist, and muttered to himself.

"Ah~ such a long transformation, and I haven't even had a chance to test in detail just how strong I've become..."

Uraraka Shige looked at the alloy gate again, weighing her options in her mind.

"While it's definitely possible to do it with 'thread'... I think I could do it even without 'thread' right now, wouldn't I?"

Uraraka Shige breath, then took a small half step back, clenched her left hand into a fist, and placed both hands in front of her, assuming a stance facing the alloy gate.

"Chain Barrage!"

In the next instant, Uraraka Shige suddenly threw out his right fist, which hit the alloy gate in front of him directly. Then, he followed with his left foot, left fist, left foot landing and right foot kicking... unleashing a rapid and fierce barrage of attacks. Relying solely on his flesh and blood, he actually made the alloy gate rattle loudly.

Yamahara's expression changed, and he took two steps forward, approaching Uraraka Shige. However, due to the obstruction of the alloy gate, he could not do anything for the time being and could only issue another warning.

"What are you going to do? You'd better think it through! Are you trying to break out of prison?!"

"Bang bang bang--"

Seemingly in response to his warning, after another full minute of relentless punching and kicking, Uraraka Shige finally stopped beating the alloy gate, panting heavily, looking as if he had exhausted a lot of energy.

After resting for a short while, Uraraka Shige straightened up, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers without any change in expression.

"Bang~"

A crisp snap of fingers rang out, echoing in the not-so-large alloy-barred cell.

Then, in the next moment.

"Sizzle~ Squeak~ Boom!"

A hissing and creaking sound emanated from the metal gate, growing louder and louder. The alloy posts on the gate gradually twisted in response to the changing sound, until a deafeningly loud rumble rang out.

The alloy gate, made of a special alloy, suddenly exploded, shattering into a pile of twisted alloy fragments.

"Screen!"

Uraraka Shige expressionless as he watched the alloy fragments flying towards him. With a slight movement of his lips, a powerful Gravity spontaneously formed an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking all the flying alloy fragments.

On the other side of the alloy fence gate, Yamahara Ishiga, naturally also endured the attacks of these alloy fragments.

However, unlike Uraraka Shige, who used his 'Quirk' to create a barrier in front of him to block the alloy fragments, he didn't even close his eyelids. Instead, he stared intently at Uraraka Shige's figure, letting the alloy fragments fly onto him, tear his clothes, hit his skin, and even a few pieces of alloy went straight for his eyeballs.

Then came a series of crisp clanging sounds as the alloy shards that had hit him landed on the alloy floor with a clear, metallic clanging.

As for Yamahara Ishiga, not even his eyeballs were chipped in the slightest!

This is his 'Quirk,' which gives him the weight of a mountain and the defensive power of a rock.

After two years of training and transformation, he has made this weight even more concentrated and massive, and his original rock-like defense has been enhanced to be as strong as refined iron!

He is no longer the same person he once was, whose 'hero codename' was Mountain Stone Yamahara Ishiga. Now, the name that truly suits him as a 'hero' should be Iron Mountain!
