But in the End, They Still Didn't Get to Fight...

Huge whirlpools churned the water, engulfing the group of 'enemies' surrounding the ship. The ship, too, became increasingly unstable, bobbing up and down with the currents stirred by the whirlpools.

Midoriya and Mineta also fell onto the deck due to the violent rocking of the ship. As the ship continued to rock, they rolled twice on the deck. Finally, with the help of Asui, they were able to regain their balance, but they still did not stand up and remained in a prone position on all fours.

Uraraka Shige was the only person on the ship who remained stable despite the ship's rocking caused by the unstable water... To be precise, he wasn't actually standing on the deck; it just appeared as if he was standing on the ship...

... He activated his 'Quirk' the instant the vortex appeared, putting himself into a 'floating' state.

Uraraka Shige remained suspended in mid-air, patiently waiting.

The Power Loader had pre-dug traps underground, calculating water pressure, soil density, thickness, and the time they could withstand that pressure. This caused all the traps to collapse simultaneously under the pressure, creating several whirlpools near the ship. In this way, they eliminated the 'enemies' and rescued the three students on board...

Since he adopted such a troublesome and complicated method, he certainly wouldn't have stopped there.

Putting everything else aside, the three of them, Power Loader Midoriya, definitely need to be personally checked to make sure they are safe.

Moreover, those 'enemies' in the water, the Power Excavator, as a 'hero,' certainly couldn't stand by and watch them lose their lives.

Therefore, once the water level calms down, he will inevitably appear in Uraraka Shige's sight with that group of 'enemies'.

Furthermore, the fact that the Power Loader used such a complex method to eliminate these 'enemies' skilled in naval warfare also reveals a fact that Uraraka Shige had already suspected.

"As expected... you really aren't good at fighting in water! Power Loader... it seems my choice was right after all."

About a minute later, the huge whirlpool on the water began to gradually shrink and eventually disappeared without a trace, and the entire flood simulation area returned to calm.

Uraraka Shige long. After another ten seconds or so, a small, thin figure suddenly appeared on the water not far from the ship.

That was the Power Loader, now stripped of his massive equipment, while the 'enemies' were nowhere to be seen... Perhaps he'd taken them underground? Or perhaps he'd subdued them underground and transported them elsewhere?

Anyway, this has little to do with Uraraka Shige, and Uraraka Shige is unwilling to waste his energy thinking about such unnecessary things.

At this moment, Uraraka Shige's eyes were fixed on the figure of the Power Loader, watching him take a grappling hook-like device off his body and then climb onto the ship using the chain of that device.

Uraraka Shige did not stop the Power Excavator from boarding the ship.

Because his true purpose, in essence, was simply to engage in a direct battle with this "hero" who was greatly restrained by him in terms of 'Quirk' and in a battle scene that he had deliberately chosen to be unfavorable to him, thereby correctly understanding his current level of strength.

After all, given her and the Power Loader's 'Quirk', even if she really couldn't win, Uraraka Shige could easily use her 'Quirk' to fly away.

That's how it should have been.

But now...

Uraraka Shige her head and glanced at Midoriya and the other two.

With these three guys around, given how they're portrayed in the original work, they might very well get involved in my upcoming battle against the Power Loader...

Although Uraraka Shige believed that none of them, except for Midoriya, posed a significant threat to him in terms of either 'Quirk' or strength... there was always the possibility of an unexpected turn of events, and Uraraka Shige had to be prepared for that possibility.

Furthermore, Midoriya's 'Quirk' was passed down to him by All Might. Although Midoriya probably hasn't developed it much yet, the basic level of this 'Quirk,' that is, its lower limit, is enough to make Midoriya an extremely unstable and uncertain factor.

"Or maybe I should deal with them first... at least knock them out so they won't interfere with my testing and self-improvement..."

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but have this thought, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the Power Loader.

"And I also said before that I would repay this guy for the 'favor' he showed me before..."

"Seeing the people they're supposed to protect get hurt in front of them... that should be a pretty good 'reward' for 'heroes' like them, right?"

Uraraka Shige felt that this idea was feasible. Moreover, since she had appeared before Midoriya and the others without attacking them, coupled with the appearance of the Power Loader, all of this would inevitably lower Midoriya and the others' guard to some extent...

Although Midoriya and the others might become wary in a sense because they had previously stated that they were keeping them alive to target the Power Loader...

However, as long as one acts quickly enough... after all, one's 'Quirk' doesn't require any particularly obvious behavior to activate. Therefore, whether they become more relaxed or more vigilant, as long as one suddenly launches an attack through 'Quirk,' it is very likely to achieve the desired result in one fell swoop.

Uraraka Shige thought this way, and then put it into action.

"Chaos!"

Uraraka Shige's lips moved slightly, silently altering the direction of Gravity around Midoriya and the others, causing it to become chaotic. The three of them within Midoriya instantly felt a sense of discomfort stemming from their biological instincts. It was a feeling of discomfort caused by a rapid change in the surrounding environment, Gravity, or something else, which prevented their biological adaptability from immediately accepting the change. (The wording isn't precise, but you should understand what I mean, right? It's like the feeling of weightlessness when an elevator starts moving, the need to adjust your biological clock after a long flight, and reactions to motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness, stenosis, or hemorrhage.)

Then, in the very next moment, this discomfort quickly transformed into an extremely intense feeling of dizziness due to some kind of self-protective mechanism of the organism (I think that's correct?), causing Midoriya and the others to look extremely pale and even feel a slight urge to vomit.

However, due to their age and physical condition, they ultimately failed to vomit and instead fainted on the deck of the ship, looking pale.

This instantly enraged the Power Loader had climbed onto the ship's deck.

"You're the one who did it!"

In her anger, she even forgot what might have been her own verbal tic... Seriously, forgetting her own personality is a big deal, isn't it? (Feel free to comment! Criticize as much as you want! It's all rainbow-colored anyway (ω) lol)

Uraraka Shige then took a few steps closer to the Power Loader, moving away from the location of Midoriya and his companions. This way, the Power Loader wouldn't be too concerned about Midoriya trio, which would hinder its actions and ultimately lead to its defeat before it could test anything...

Hmm, that's quite an arrogant thought. Maybe it's time to experience failure again =w=

Seeing that Uraraka Shige moved away from the Power Loader of Midoriya and the others, the user unsurprisingly suddenly sprang into action and charged towards Uraraka Shige to engage him in combat using fighting techniques.

Just as Uraraka Shige and the Power Loader were about to exchange blows...

"Bang~"

Gunshots that were completely inaudible in Uraraka Shige could not be heard from the stepped platform at the entrance of 'USJ'.
