Uraraka Shige casually tucked the 'knife' he had carved from the tree trunk by hand into his waistband.

Hmm, there are some minor burrs...

However, it will be covered by the inner garment, so it doesn't matter.

After putting away the wooden sword, Uraraka Shige another deep breath, looked around, and continued walking in the direction she had chosen earlier.

They claimed they were looking for All Might's course schedule, but in reality, Uraraka Shige had no idea how to find it.

Although something like All Might's course schedule should be kept in the archives, or perhaps in the principal's office.

However, Uraraka Shige not conducted any prior investigation, so he had no idea where the archives and principal's office of U.A. High School were located.

In this situation, Uraraka Shige naturally wouldn't have a specific target, so he could only try his luck to find a place that might contain All Might's course schedule information.

Normally, as a protagonist, one should naturally possess what is known as protagonist luck.

The normal plot development is that Uraraka eventually finds All Might's course schedule after going through Uraraka Shige twists and turns.

At most, it would just be some minor setbacks or complications before it's found, which could be used as filler in the article.

However, looking back from the first chapter to now, this so-called protagonist aura doesn't seem to apply very well to Uraraka Shige?

Or perhaps the protagonist's luck, as possessed by Uraraka Shige, is actually the kind that's rather unreliable?

While it might not be enough to leave him orphaned, without a sister or a house, jilted, and even forced into sugar-making schemes...

But not only did he fail to find what he was looking for, he was also discovered on the way, which didn't seem like such an unacceptable thing for him...

"So why do I have to be so unlucky..."

Uraraka Shige looked at the short, thin, U.A. High School teacher in front of her, whose enormous back was reminiscent of an excavator, and grinned rather irritably.

However, after a brief moment of silence, he suddenly felt relieved.

"Fortunately, I encountered this 'Power Loader'... which gives me a significant advantage... I can't afford to be captured under these circumstances."

At the same time that Uraraka Shige noticed him, this 'hero' who had only appeared a few times in the original work by the end of Uraraka Shige's previous life also naturally noticed Uraraka Shige.

"Kugeki~ Although you seem to be around the same age, our students don't just wander around here at this time. Your behavior is suspicious and furtive, and you're not wearing our U.A. High School. uniform. So, you must be the intruder who broke into the school."

The hero, named U.A. High School Power Loader, first unconsciously let out a strange, wicked laugh that seemed to be a verbal tic (Bilibili Season 2 Episode 35, 8:31/9:11), and then, combining a series of reasons, finally determined that Uraraka Shige was an intruder.

However, the way he described himself in these words displeased Uraraka Shige.

"Hiding and acting suspiciously... Hey! Don't think I won't sue you for defamation just because you're a teacher! I was clearly walking openly and honestly on campus, how am I hiding and acting suspiciously?!"

The Power Loader glanced at the sleeve used to conceal his true face and said:

"Kugeki~ You've completely covered your face, yet you still claim you're not hiding your true identity. This might be the funniest joke I've heard all year... Anyway, whatever your purpose, you'd better come with me to the security room now."

This thin and short U.A. High School teacher seemed to have only confirmed Uraraka Shige's identity as an intruder, but had not yet hastily labeled him as an 'enemy'... Perhaps it was because of the group of reporters?

But it was clearly impossible for Uraraka Shige to go directly to the guard room with him... If he did, his identity would inevitably be exposed, which would bring a lot of trouble to his family in this life...

Although Uraraka Shige is a selfish person, selfishness only means that he only cares about his own interests, desires, and personal thoughts, not that he is completely devoid of emotions, nor that his emotions are completely opposite to those of a normal person.

When someone a selfish person cares about is hurt, that selfish person will feel unhappy and annoyed. They will also want to get rid of these feelings and retaliate against the person who hurt them, deriving pleasure from it.

Similarly, even if Uraraka Shige is a selfish person, he would still actively hide his identity and protect his family in order to avoid even the slightest possible negative emotions such as annoyance or frustration.

To put it bluntly, Uraraka Shige's desire to keep his identity hidden and his family from being implicated stemmed from his own selfish interests and desires.

Therefore.

Uraraka Shige and bluntly rejected the Power Loader's request.

"Well... if that's what you're saying, I really don't know how to refute it... But even if you say it's true that I was sneaking around and hiding, that doesn't mean I have to go to the school's security room with you... I have my own reasons for not obediently going to the security room with you."

The Power Loader showed no surprise at Uraraka Shige's refusal... After all, the fact that Uraraka Shige sleeve was enough to tell that he was intentionally concealing his identity, so it was only natural that he would refuse a request that could expose his hidden identity.

"Kugeki~ Since that's the case, it seems you're not a reporter or an innocent civilian. Therefore, because you've illegally entered our school, I must use a certain degree of force to prevent you from harming our students."

This 'hero,' who looked like a human excavator, said this as he charged towards Uraraka Shige, seemingly intending to defeat him solely through hand-to-hand combat skills.

Meanwhile, Uraraka Shige narrowed his eyes slightly, subtly activating his own 'Quirk' and preparing for a temporary confrontation.

However, at that moment, the communicator in Uraraka Shige's pocket suddenly rang again, causing Uraraka Shige slightly startled. He then used his 'Quirk' to lightly leap and hover in mid-air.

Then, Uraraka Shige took out the communicator from her pocket and received the message it was transmitting.

It was the sound of Kurogiri.

"Tomura Shigaraki, Uraraka Shige, the items are in hand, preparations are complete, we can retreat."
