Uraraka Shige's "Battle of Kamino" ⑦ (Huh! Wait! Who Ate My Ten?)

The whistling wind of the punch collided head-on with the roaring hurricane.

At the moment of impact, all of Uraraka Shige and the others' senses were stretched and extended in an instant.

What should have been a mere instant was stretched into nearly five seconds within our senses, making Uraraka Shige and the others feel as if time had stood still for that moment.

After this sensory illusion, which lasted for about five seconds, the chaotic airflow, centered at the intersection of the fist wind and the hurricane, began to burst out in all directions at an increasingly faster speed, carrying up all the gravel and dust on the ground and blasting them in all directions.

Boom!!!

Uraraka Shige watched as Kurasu Rikizo stepped out of the group and stood in front of them. He had now become a burly man, shielding Kurasu Rikizo from most of the explosive impact and the flying debris. Li Rizhong's gaze seemed to pass over this man, who was now more than half a head taller than himself, and focused on the various changes that occurred at the center of the collision between the fist wind and the hurricane.

"I can probably use this power for another five minutes."

After receiving the attack, Kurasu Rikizo's expression immediately turned somewhat grim, because the power contained in that attack was unexpectedly strong.

While a single attack wouldn't completely deplete all the strength he had accumulated through training and exercise over the past decade, the muscle, strength, and stamina he had gained during those years of training would only be enough for him to use in a consuming manner for five minutes.

You should know that his 'Quirk' is used in a way that consumes energy! Once it's used up, all the power, stamina, and muscles used will be completely depleted.

Instead of taking a short rest after getting tired, and then being able to exert such great strength again after resting.

The power that can be unleashed in a single burst is far greater than the power that can be used when there are still various considerations and future consequences.

It can almost be said that Kurasu Rikizo Compress all the strength, muscle, and stamina he had acquired over the past ten years into these short five minutes to possess the power to contend with the air cannon unleashed by 'AFO' through a chain of multiple 'Quirk'.

This power can only last for a short five minutes...

Even more powerful attacks from 'AFO' could further Compress the duration of this ability!

If you were to face All Might at the same time, this timeframe would be shortened even further.

'AFO's' strength is terrifying.

Even now, 'AFO', like All Might, still suffers from the aftereffects of extremely serious injuries! He is not at his peak or in his best condition.

If both 'AFO' and All Might were still at their peak, Kurasu Rikizo would probably only be able to withstand one full-force attack from them at their peak.

Even so, at least in those few short minutes, Kurasu Rikizo undoubtedly possessed the power to directly confront 'AFO' and All Might in their current state.

"AFO!"

All Might roared and burst out from under the rubble again, throwing a punch at 'AFO's' cheek, but 'AFO' simply blocked it with his outstretched palm.

Then 'AFO' raised its other hand to counterattack All Might, but All Might caught it with his own hand.

The two sides reached a stalemate once again.

While All Might and 'AFO' remained locked in a stalemate, Qu Zhi suddenly spoke up.

"Only five minutes... no, even less?"

Qu Zhi muttered something to himself with his head down, then looked up at Uraraka Shige and offered his suggestion.

"In that case, I think it would be better for us to retreat for now, preserve our strength, and wait until 'AFO' and All Might are both weakened before coming out to reap the benefits."

He said that, and then in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and threw a punch towards the right side of Qu Zhi.

Call!

The chaotic air currents were stirred by the power contained in this punch, forming a gust of wind that sent an old, hunched figure flying from that direction...

Or rather, this old and hunched figure was quite agile even in the air. The moment he sensed danger, he took the initiative to retreat. Then, after being caught up by the wind of the punch and swept into it, he relied on his experience to be flipped several times in the air, and finally stabilized his body after retreating three meters.

It is Gran Torino, a retired veteran 'hero' who once served as All Might's master's partner.

In the original work, he should have arrived at the battlefield after Bakugo was rescued from the air by Midoriya and the others, and stopped Twice, Spinner and the others from launching a pursuit against Bakugo and the others under the influence of Big Sis Mag's 'Quirk'.

However, here, although the time is still roughly the same, Bakugo and Tokoyami have already been rescued from the sky by Midoriya and the others.

The pursuit that should have taken place in the original work did not occur because Uraraka Shige Shigaraki.

In addition to other unforeseen circumstances, this ultimately led to the difference in the timing of Gran Torino's appearance between this location and the original work.

However, no one except Uraraka Shige knew this, and Uraraka Shige's own memories of the original plot had long been blurred, and he had forgotten many details.

Unfortunately, Gran Torino's appearance on the battlefield of the 'Battle of Kamino' is part of his forgotten memories.

"Another 'hero'?"

Qu Zhi frowned as he looked at the aged figure.

"... So, the reinforcements from the other 'heroes' should be arriving soon, right? In this situation, even if we start to retreat now, we're very likely to run right into the 'heroes' who are coming to our aid. We'll inevitably waste a lot of effort and might even lose the chance to reap the benefits..."

"... Moreover... this elderly 'hero' probably won't let us evacuate so easily; instead, he'll try his best to interfere with us, entangle us, and delay our evacuation..."

"... So it seems that the only option left is to directly join the battlefield and participate in the battle..."

After some whispering, Qu Zhi stated the final conclusion he had reached through the above deductions.

At this moment, Dabi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"So, your targets are Shigaraki's teacher and that 'Number One Hero' All Might? In that case, please excuse me for not continuing."
