Change or Correction?
As the portal beside her disappeared, Uraraka Shige breathed a slight sigh of relief, Shigaraki showed a hint of displeasure.
"Hero... Even in this state, you prioritize protecting those students? What a disgusting attitude!"
Upon witnessing Eraser Head's act of protecting others, Shigaraki even uttered the word "disgusting."
It seems he genuinely despises these lofty phenomena... Perhaps this is related to his childhood experiences? During his most vulnerable and darkest times...
When All Might, the 'Symbol of Justice' he had so desperately prayed for, could descend before him as he had done to everyone else, and could say to him as he had done to everyone else, 'It's all over now. Why, you ask? ____!'...
His prayers went unanswered. All Might did not appear before him, nor did the righteous 'heroes' lend him a hand!
Perhaps that's why?
Because what appeared before him at that time was the 'Symbol of Evil, All For One,' the counterpart to All Might, the 'Symbol of Justice' of that era...
Perhaps it was because of this incident that he personally experienced the injustice and disappointment brought to him by this 'Quirk' society, and personally experienced the feeling of being abandoned by this 'Quirk' society.
Furthermore, under the tutelage of 'AFO', a belief gradually emerged that would destroy the society and system in which he existed.
Even amidst the battle, Eraser Head still managed to find opportunities to hinder their actions and protect the students who would become future heroes. This act undoubtedly reflects a positive aspect of this Quirk society where heroes reign supreme.
"'Eraser Head'... a 'hero' of the same class as All Might... seeing you like this makes me feel utterly disgusted..."
Shigaraki stared intently at Eraser Head, who was constantly defeating one 'buddy' after another in the arena, expressing his deepest disgust. Then, he suddenly issued an order that startled Uraraka Shige.
"'Nomu,' take care of him."
... What kind of monster is this 'Nomu' that Shigaraki is carrying around? It was described in detail in the original work, and it has also been described in this article.
If this 'Nomu' obeys Shigaraki's orders and attacks 'Eraser Head'...
Even though Eraser Head is a hero, facing this Nomu with overwhelming combat ability, the only outcome he can hope for is defeat and death.
After all, this 'Nomu' possesses not only the power of its 'Quirk', but its physique is also comparable to All Might's muscular form after being severely injured.
However, Eraser Head's Quirk only eliminates the Quirk of targets he is looking at; it cannot eliminate the Quirk of Alien types, nor does it affect the actual physical attributes of the targets.
This was precisely what alarmed Uraraka Shige.
Although the current invasion incident involving Uraraka Shige is different from what is described in the original work, the differences are still limited.
However, if Eraser Head is defeated and eliminated by the Nomu, then only the rescue hero Thirteen, with his excellent Quirk, will be absolutely unable to protect the students of Hero Course Class A.
Furthermore, the reason this invasion failed in the original work was because the bespectacled class president of Hero Course Class A, thanks to his classmates' delaying tactics against the Kurogiri and his own Quirk, successfully escaped from the United States High School (USJ) and attracted a large number of Hero teachers from U.A. High School to come and provide support.
At the last second, Shigaraki's limbs were pierced by the "Snipe" "hero" with guns and bullets.
It was under these circumstances that Shigaraki was forced to retreat with Kurogiri, marking the failure of this invasion operation.
However, the Kurogiri has only just arrived at the staircase platform and just managed to scatter the students using their 'Quirk'. It will Tenya Iida quite some time before the students, like in the original story, escape, and it's unknown how long it will be before a large number of 'heroes' arrive to provide support, as depicted in the original...
It's even possible that it won't happen at all... because by now, Uraraka Shige's appearance has already changed a lot of things.
In this way, the safety of those students will be completely jeopardized, and they will be placed in an extremely dangerous situation. It is even possible that many important characters from the original work will lose their lives in this invasion.
It's not that Uraraka Shige cares so much about the original plot or the characters in the original work...
In fact, Uraraka Shige had already stopped caring about these things ever since he tried to change the outcome of All Might's first battle with 'AFO', which resulted in All Might being seriously injured...
Those characters from the original story who have absolutely no connection to Uraraka Shige in this lifetime would be completely unrelated to him; given Uraraka Shige's selfish nature, it's impossible for him to care about their lives...
But apart from that, there was someone on the tiered platform who made Uraraka Shige worry about him, care about him, and pay attention to him.
That was Uraraka Shige's older sister in this life, the kind and lovely girl with little fleshy bumps on her fingertips— Ochaco Uraraka.
To put it bluntly, Uraraka Shige was alarmed by Shigaraki's order because she realized that after Eraser Head was defeated by the Nomu, her sister's safety in this life would be in jeopardy.
However, he was standing right next to Shigaraki, and with the Nomu in his presence, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Eraser Head, as a hero, could hold out against the Nomu for as long as possible.
But Uraraka Shige clearly forgot that in the original work, 'Eraser Head' also fought against 'Nomu'... and the outcome was decided in an instant.
And so, the scene that Uraraka Shige forgotten, or rather, subconsciously ignored, unfolded before everyone's eyes in the next moment.
'Pfft~' 'Pfft~'
The dull thuds of flesh being struck, interspersed with a few involuntary, pitiful cries of "Eraser Head," reached Uraraka Shige 'Uraraka Shige ears, instantly chilling him to the bone, as if he were in the dead of winter.
