'Whoosh!'

The wooden sword was swung, slicing through the air, aimed directly at Ochaco's neck, and was swiftly dodged by Ochaco.

Uraraka Shige a master of acting, after all, she has two lifetimes of experience to back her up.

Moreover, in this life, when he was still young, he had already experienced several crises and had the experience of acting as an undercover agent between different forces, disguising himself, and ultimately betraying both sides.

Even now, isn't Uraraka Shige still playing a role-playing game within the 'League of Villains' right under the nose of that 'AFO'? Even now, standing in front of his sister in this life, he is still hiding his identity.

Of course, he knew how to go easy on his older sister in this life without her noticing. Instead, he made her think he was a real 'enemy' who was really going all out to deal with her.

Only under such circumstances can Ochaco truly feel the sense of crisis that her life is threatened, and only then can Uraraka Shige, without actually harming Ochaco, more clearly judge Ochaco's current true strength.

However, this can only be achieved if Uraraka Shige's strength is significantly greater than Ochaco's.

Fortunately, in this Uraraka Shige, Rihito Shige has grown up much faster than Ochaco since childhood. In addition, the experience and growth he has gained from all the things he has experienced, as well as the enormous pressure he is under from being forced to infiltrate the League of Villains, have brought him.

All these experiences have resulted in Uraraka Shige's current true strength being significantly greater than Ochaco's. Furthermore, considering that Ochaco's 'Quirk' is not particularly suited for combat, achieving this is not entirely impossible.

However, Ochaco is different from the time in the original work. Putting aside the improvement in her 'Quirk', her physical strength and fighting skills are much stronger than in the original work. This means that although Uraraka Shige is able to do these things, there is still a risk that he might accidentally reveal a flaw and have his acting exposed.

'Snap~'

Ochaco reached out to grab Uraraka Shige, intending to use the close-combat skills she had learned from the 'Pro Hero' during her previous Work-Study Program to deal with Uraraka Shige. However, Uraraka Shige a wooden sword to directly open her hand, making a crisp sound.

"Hiss..."

Ochaco gasped slightly. Even though Uraraka Shige had restrained himself and hadn't used much force, being struck by that wooden sword forged from a twig would still hurt quite a bit...

Those who have been whipped by toddlers with willow twigs or similar objects will likely have a deep understanding of this.

Uraraka Shige's movements also hesitated and paused slightly as Ochaco gasped for breath.

He was a little worried that he might have accidentally used too much force.

But upon closer reflection, he should have a good grasp of his own strength, especially when he hadn't removed the 'Shackles' that targeted only him.

After all, he has long been accustomed to moving and living in this Gravity environment. On the contrary, if one day the 'Shackles' were suddenly removed, he might not be able to adapt well, which would lead to poor control of his strength.

Only...

Uraraka Shige looked at Ochaco, who seemed to be in a lot of pain, but she still gritted her teeth and continued Uraraka Shige attack. Her movements were light and agile, quick and decisive.

'You've really gotten much stronger since you were a child... Your mindset has changed a lot too. You used to be such a gentle person, but now you've become much more decisive... And you've become much more dashing and handsome than before.'

Uraraka Shige made this assessment in her mind. At the same time, she mentally complained and began to hesitate slightly.

'I feel like this is a bit too much for a girl, and... maybe I should hold back a little? It looks like it's really hurting... but if I hold back any more, won't it be too obvious...'

Hesitating in his heart, his hands showed no reaction whatsoever.

Uraraka Shige a small sidestep to avoid Ochaco's sudden advance, and at the same time as Ochaco rushed to his side, he slashed at her shoulder with his wooden sword.

However, Ochaco reacted very quickly, anticipating and reacting the moment Uraraka Shige began to take a small side step. At that moment, as Uraraka Shige's wooden sword slashed towards her shoulder, she used one foot as a pivot and her waist to suddenly stop herself, using the force of her waist and spine to twist and turn most of the forward momentum.

Whew~

Ochaco bent her other leg and kicked out suddenly, delivering a spinning kick that sent a whistling sound through the air, heading straight for Uraraka Shige's waist.

This move actually puts a great strain on the lower back muscles and spine. The stronger the forward thrust, the greater the strain, and the more unstable the body becomes. Moreover, the target is the kidneys in the lower back.

His stance was unstable, and his attacks were ruthless... This was completely unlike the style of 'Hero' Gunhead's Gunhead Martial Arts; it's unclear where he learned it from.

Uraraka Shige's heart tightened as he faced Ochaco's kick. He muttered to himself as he quickly jumped back to dodge.

'So cruel! You're going to ruin my happiness for the rest of my life! Our Uraraka family is counting on me to carry on the family line, my dear sister! You really have no mercy...'

Uraraka Shige didn't voice his thoughts, so Ochaco naturally had no way of knowing them. Moreover, Uraraka Shige jump had exposed a significant opening for Ochaco, so Ochaco didn't hesitate for long. After a brief pause, she landed her feet, adjusted her stance, and launched another attack, relentlessly pursuing Uraraka Shige's retreating figure.

Not gentle at all, not ladylike at all...

Uraraka Shige subconsciously wanted to activate her 'Quirk' to make herself fly, but then suddenly realized that if she used too obvious a move when activating her 'Quirk', she might expose some flaw that Ochaco would notice.

So Uraraka Shige suddenly abandoned the idea of using her 'Quirk' and instead reached out and hooked a branch of a nearby tree. At the same time, she used her waist, abdomen, and arms to exert force, using the momentum to forcefully change her backward posture, and then flipped herself up onto the tree. She then held onto the tree trunk and squatted on a thicker part of the branch.

Ochaco, who was in hot pursuit, naturally missed her target due to the suddenness of the attack.

Then, Uraraka Shige, who was perched on a tree branch, suddenly spoke up with a 'mocking' tone.

"... You're not gentle at all, not ladylike at all... Are you really a girl? And your fighting skills look pretty good, so why are you so straightforward and don't know how to make good use of your surroundings? Are you an idiot?"
