Pretending to Get Dirt in His Eyes...

Ochaco didn't respond to Uraraka Shige's words, who was hiding his identity at the time. Instead, she continued running towards Asui's direction, seemingly intending to meet up with Asui and provide support.

Seeing Uraraka Shige frowned, then jumped down from the tree and chased after her. After landing, she picked up a small stone and threw it at Ochaco's feet to hinder Ochaco movement.

Uraraka Shige's throwing skills weren't actually that high, but after subtly adjusting the trajectory using his 'Quirk', the small stone he threw successfully slipped into the gap between Ochaco's feet and the ground.

Since the distance between the two had increased to more than three meters, and Uraraka Shige had carefully controlled the range of Gravity changes so that they wouldn't affect Ochaco's location, there was no need to worry that Ochaco would notice anything because of this throw.

Ochaco kept running towards the direction of the Asui. When she noticed the sound of the small stone cutting through the air, it was too late to react. She immediately stepped on the small stone and felt a sudden sharp pain in the sole of her foot. She cried out and fell to the ground, her arch bent, indicating that she had suffered a severe cramp.

Uraraka Shige slowed down and began to approach Ochaco at a leisurely pace.

"Really... putting everything else aside, you're lacking in experience... U.A. High School... you're a bit disappointing."

Uraraka Shige murmured softly, just loud enough for Ochaco to hear.

At the same time, not far ahead, Asui, who had already inflicted several wounds on Toga, noticed Ochaco's side and immediately let out a worried cry.

"Ocha!"

Then, due to distraction, Toga was pricked by a syringe.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

With a slight mechanical whirring, the syringe began to draw blood. At the same time, Toga took the opportunity to Asui to the ground, holding down Asui's right hand with one hand and pressing down on the syringe with the other, all the while making 'cheep cheep' sounds.

Whether it was because of Asui's worried croaking or because she had become somewhat accustomed to the pain in her feet, Ochaco clenched her fists, propped herself up, and looked up at Asui when Uraraka Shige was already beside her.

"Tsu..."

She merely murmured this, and then her gaze was blocked by a pair of legs shrouded in a black cloak.

Uraraka Shige stood in front of Ochaco, leaned down slightly, squinted, and glanced at Ochaco's tightly clenched fists. He understood what was going on, but did not stop what he was doing.

"What? Are you worried about your friend? Your friend must be worried about you too, right? After all, it was your exclamation that distracted your friend, leading to your friend ending up like this... You must be very resentful, right?"

Uraraka Shige beneath bandages, remained expressionless, but her voice carried a hint of amusement, sounding as if she were toying with her opponent.

It was under these circumstances that Ochaco tilted her head up again, looking at Uraraka Shige, which was already very close to hers and hidden under the hood of his cloak, wrapped in bandages. Suddenly, she raised her hand and threw up a handful of sand.

Uraraka Shige suddenly stood up, trying to avoid the handful of sand, while calmly waiting for it to block everyone's view. Then, just as the sand was about to hit her face, she closed her eyelids.

Immediately afterward, Uraraka Shige was about to open her mouth and howl as shrilly and miserable as possible, pretending that her eyes were covered in mud. However, at that moment, Ochaco used her other hand to push herself up and flung out the mud she was holding tightly in her hand.

"Ah!! Ugh..."

Uraraka Shige shielded her eyes with her left hand and let out a truly pitiful howl, while silently giving Ochaco a thumbs-up in her heart.

"As expected of my elder sister in this life, we're so in sync! This way, we won't leave any loopholes!"

Thinking this, Uraraka Shige bent down and stood still, rubbing her eyes vigorously with her hands, causing them to quickly become bloodshot and her eyelids to swell rapidly.

Ochaco's two sand attacks completely blocked the view of the four people in the arena, including herself, so no one could tell whether Uraraka Shige was actually blinded by the sand.

Ochaco had no interest in examining whether the person in front of her, whose true identity was completely hidden, was actually blinded by sand.

After she got up, she could only stagger towards where Asui was because of a cramp in one leg.

Just as she approached from behind Toga suddenly stood up, turned around, and stabbed Ochaco with his sword.

At this point, the "Gunhead Martial Arts" taught to her by the "heroic" Gunhead came in handy.

Ochaco retreated slightly and staggered to the side, dodging the knife Toga. Then, she grabbed Toga's wrist with her right hand and reached for the back of Toga's neck with her other hand, pressing it down firmly. She then pulled Toga's wrist to the side with her right hand and pressed down on the back of Toga's neck, slamming Toga to the ground in an instant.

Thanks to Ochaco's timely help, Asui successfully broke free from Toga's control, removed the syringe from her body, stood up, and went to Ochaco's side. After glancing at Ochaco and Toga, she turned her gaze to Uraraka Shige's position.

But he still asked with concern:

"Ocha, how are you?"

After rubbing her eyes for a long time, Uraraka Shige finally put her hands down and looked at Ochaco, who had already suppressed Toga, and Asui, who was standing to the side. After her vision was slightly blurry, the scene in her eyes was finally clear.

"Ah... I was so careless... I didn't expect you to learn so quickly?"

Staring at her eyes, which were bloodshot and red from her own ravaging, Uraraka Shige asked Toga again:

"Toga, how are you feeling now?"

Toga of complaining that Ochaco had been released because of Uraraka Shige, which ultimately resulted in him being pinned to the ground by Ochaco, Tobi looked at Uraraka Shige with a pained expression.

"I feel terrible right now; I'm pinned down and can't move at all."

As he said this, Toga tried to twist and turn a couple of times to prove that he was indeed as he said, unable to break free at all.

So Uraraka Shige took a deep breath.

"Oh... I see..."

He then held the wooden sword vertically in his hand and slowly walked towards Ochaco and Asui.

"In that case... then these two guys are both mine..."
