That's What He Said...

People who say such things are usually minor, supporting characters in various works...

In fact, this person was exactly like that in the original work; he only appeared here once, and after being defeated by Midoriya and his two companions, he never appeared again.

At this moment, this guy said these words to Uraraka Shige, highlighting his presence.

In reality, his status as a background character and his role remained unchanged; he simply had a few more lines than in the original story...

"That's exactly why I came here."

Uraraka Shige glanced at the shark-faced man and said this.

"Just as we received intelligence, All Might has arrived in this building. You should have been able to feel the tremors and noises here as well. If I'm not mistaken, that was caused by the battle between the 'Nomu' and All Might."

"But contrary to the intelligence, another 'hero' came here with All Might... He didn't directly participate in the battle, but left the main battlefield to come and rescue these students."

"... With the 'Nomu' and the Kurogiri on the main battlefield, as long as we proceed according to plan, the outcome is quite predictable. However, this extra 'hero' is an unstable factor."

"So, to ensure the plan proceeds as scheduled, I specifically came here to stake out this location, which is least favorable to that guy's fighting style, to prevent him from interfering with the main battlefield after the rescue... and these three students..."

Uraraka Shige suddenly turned her head to look at Midoriya and the others, sized them up a few times, then turned her head back and continued:

"Since that 'hero' wants to rescue them, we can use that to our advantage. Whether it's setting a trap, using it as leverage, or doing something else, it would likely be very useful."

After hearing Uraraka Shige's explanation, the group of 'enemies' in the water all said they understood and then began to discuss among themselves.

"The tremors earlier were caused by a battle? As expected of All Might... Thankfully, we weren't the ones facing him." "I see, I understand... So, what do we do next?" "A true 'hero'? Since he arrived with All Might, he probably isn't weak either, right?"

Aside from the 'enemies' surrounding the ship in the water, Midoriya and Midoriya two companions, who were on the ship just a few steps away from Uraraka Shige, also had different thoughts arising from his words.

'Was the tremor earlier caused by All Might's battle? It seems the battle was more intense than expected... 'Nomu'? Are those beings capable of fighting All Might so fiercely? And the 'information' and 'plan' this 'enemy' mentioned earlier... does that mean they really did have a plan to kill All Might, and only launched this invasion after obtaining sufficient intelligence? Then the 'Nomu' this 'enemy' spoke of, the 'Nomu' capable of fighting All Might so fiercely, must be their main force for killing All Might...'

Midoriya unconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth, and at the same time, his mind quickly became active, and he began to think, completely ignoring his own situation and surrounding environment... as if no one else was around.

Asui didn't seem to react at all, but his eyes became slightly duller, and he looked inexplicably more dazed, no longer giving off the lively feeling he used to... Perhaps it's the difference between a live frog and a hibernating frog?

Of the three, it was the lecherous little guy, Mineta, who reacted the most to Uraraka Shige's words.

"Such a huge commotion was caused by All Might's battle? As expected of All Might! Now that All Might is here, he'll definitely come to save us soon! You'll all be defeated in a flash! And none of the things Asui -kun mentioned will happen!"

... She was terrified just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye she's like this, and she didn't even hear what Uraraka Shige clearly...

Well, what can I say? This guy's hopeless...

Uraraka Shige was genuinely speechless at Mineta's reaction, but he ignored the guy. To him, Mineta's 'Quirk' was undoubtedly the least threatening. He could easily repel those grape-purple spheres of Mineta's 'Quirk' by manipulating 'Gravity', preventing them from even entering his body.

The same applies to Asui's 'Quirk'. Although it is very versatile and can be considered excellent in many ways, it is also something that can be easily dealt with or rendered incapable of fighting by him.

Of the three present, only Midoriya truly posed a real threat to him... Even though Midoriya's use of his Quirk was undoubtedly extremely crude, and might even seriously harm himself, it was still a Quirk Izuku Midoriya down from All Might. If he wasn't careful, he might end up in a fight where both of them were severely injured...

In short, we still need to be extra careful.

Thinking this, Uraraka Shige did not immediately move away from Izuku Midoriya. After all, although this distance made it easy for Izuku Midoriya to attack, it was also the optimal attack range for his 'Quirk'.

If Midoriya were to actually attack him, he could immediately use his Quirk to Izuku Midoriya unconscious.

Besides...

Uraraka Shige at the group of miscellaneous fish and extras in the water, and answered the question of one of the 'enemies'.

"What you do next is your business. I'm not particularly skilled in underwater warfare... In short, whether you hide and prepare for a sneak attack, set up underwater traps, or have any other ideas or actions, it's none of my concern. All I need to do now is keep an eye on these three guys and wait for that 'hero' to arrive..."

At this point, Uraraka Shige's tone suddenly became somewhat indignant.

"That guy... he actually pretended to test and attack me, but actually used his 'excavation department Quirk's to sneak away underground and rescue all those students too! He completely fooled me! I definitely have to get back at him properly!"

As Uraraka Shige was saying this, suddenly! The entire water surface of the flood simulation area underwent a violent change. Several huge whirlpools suddenly appeared on the water surface, but they bypassed the position of the ship and instead swept away the group of 'enemies' who had surrounded the ship in the water.

If it weren't for the arrival of a hero with a water-type 'Quirk', then there could only be one other thing that could cause this phenomenon!

"So it's finally here... Power Loader?"
