This Really Is Chapter Forty-Five XD

"Hmm? Is there only a few people?"

Uraraka Shige, emerging from the forest path, looked at Dabi and Twice, who had also just arrived at the 'recycling site', and was somewhat surprised.

After all, there were twelve members when everyone was present before. However, at this 'recycling site', even with him and Toga, there are only four people, just one-third of the original number.

"How's the situation over there? Crazy, have you collected any blood? How many doses are needed?"

Dabi's tone and attitude seemed somewhat cold and arrogant. He looked at Uraraka Shige and the other person, but did not respond to Uraraka Shige's words. Instead, he asked them a question.

Perhaps this is related to the fact that what Uraraka Shige said was actually obvious and meaningless...

But in Uraraka Shige's view, it's more likely that this guy wants to gain more say... After all, these past few days, Dabi has given Uraraka Shige the feeling that he's trying to seize power from Shigaraki...

Although he may not seem like the kind of person who craves power, his arrogant attitude clearly indicates that he will not accept being trampled on or told what to do by others.

Toga looked somewhat dejected at that moment.

After all, in the original work, when Toga met Asui and Ochaco, she unilaterally believed that she had made friends with Asui and Ochaco. Later, when she was planning to escape, she happened to see a badly injured Midoriya, and from then on, she formed an inextricable bond with Midoriya (lol). Therefore, when she saw Dabi and Twice, she had a very excited and happy expression...

In the words of the original work, that's when emotions ran high...

However, due to Uraraka Shige's intervention, the plot development on Toga's side unfolds in a completely different way from the original story.

Not only did she fail to become 'friends' with Asui and Ochaco, she also failed to meet Midoriya, who was so badly injured that she was moved by him. Instead, she was stopped by Uraraka Shige when she was about to make a move, which caused her initially good mood to suffer its first blow.

Later, while he was "making friends" with Asui Ochaco suddenly rushed over and tackled him to the ground with a series of moves.

And then there's the way Uraraka Shige 'saved' her at the end—such a huge tree fell directly towards her, while she was still firmly controlled in place by the opponent Uraraka Shige had chosen earlier, with no way to resist or dodge.

In other words, if Ochaco had been just a little more ruthless, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to be here; she would have been knocked unconscious by that tree.

Even the blood required to activate the 'Quirk' was obtained from only the blood of Asahi, whose 'Quirk' is Asui.

Given all these circumstances, if she could still appear genuinely happy and excited... then besides having a specific reason, the only other explanation is probably that she's carefree and oblivious to everything...

So, under these circumstances, when faced with Dabi's question, Toga simply looked up and glanced at Twice and Dabi respectively.

"Only one serving of desu."

This is completely unlike her usual self.

Twice also noticed this.

"One serving? That's too little! (That's too much! [You know Twice's fake personality, right? Sometimes his real self and his fake personality say things that contradict the truth.]) Wasn't it supposed to be at least three servings?"

Seeing that Toga wasn't in high spirits, he comforted her in his own way.

But the results seemed rather disappointing... no, they were completely ineffective.

"There was no way to escape, I only encountered two people, and one of them was stolen from me..."

Toga said this, she glanced at Uraraka Shige, her gaze conveying an emotion that was hard to describe—whether it was resentment or simply that she was unhappy...

Seeing this Uraraka Shige helplessly spread her hands, shrugged, and offered an explanation.

"There are only two of us to begin with, and if I leave everything to you, I'll get really 'lonely'..."

However, it was clear that Twice didn't want to hear his explanation... and neither did Dabi and Toga.

"You, a grown man, actually stole a girl's boyfriend! That's awful! (Well done!)"

Dabi glanced at him, her eyes conveying a sense of disdain to Uraraka Shige. Then Dabi's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't.

Because in the next instant, all four people in the room looked up at the sky, where a tiny black dot was rapidly expanding in their field of vision, and then...

Boom!

As dust billowed up, the 'small black dot' fell into the open space behind the four people at the 'recovery site'.

It consists of three kids, including Midoriya, and Hiro, a former entertainer, who is Atsuhiro Sako down by them.

"Hey hey hey hey! I know these kids! (Who are they?!)"

Twice reached out and pointed at Atsuhiro Sako four people who had crashed to the ground, even creating a small crater, while turning his head to look at Toga and Uraraka Shige beside him.

Dabi slightly drooped his eyelids (da, sometimes I remember it as shrug...), raised his arm, palm facing the direction where Atsuhiro Sako three were, and said a reminder:

"Sir, move aside."

His attitude towards her was completely different from how he treated Uraraka Shige and Toga...

"Learn!"

Upon hearing Dabi's reminder, Atsuhiro Sako looked up, then responded and activated his 'Quirk,' Compress himself into a small, pale blue bead that fell to the bottom of the small crater that had been created.

Dabi then pulled his hand back to the shoulder of his other arm and activated his 'Quirk'. His entire arm instantly burst into a dark blue flame, radiating intense heat.

"Idiot, it's so cold!"

Twice expressed his dissatisfaction in his own way... or perhaps more accurately, he vented his frustration?

However, Dabi ignored him and instead swung his blazing arm toward the small pit where Midoriya and the others were. The flames on his arm instantly erupted with his movement, rushing toward the direction his palm was aiming at, passing over Midoriya and Mezo, causing them to scream in agony. Only Shoto Todoroki managed to dodge it.

Upon seeing this Uraraka Shige narrowed her eyes slightly, lost in thought.

"Is this flame... subject to inertia and forces? Can it be affected by Gravity?"

But then, Uraraka Shige immediately rejected the idea in her heart.

"No... Normally, flames are also affected by Gravity. Even if they aren't, the airflow caused by Gravity will affect the flames... And this guy's flames seem to be controlled by his 'Quirk'... In other words, waving his arms is just to make it easier to use his 'Quirk'? Or is it that he needs to use physical actions to more effectively utilize his 'Quirk'?"
