The Wandering Protector
In the end, 'AFO' still died.
It was Yamato rushed over from the outskirts of the battlefield and found the unconscious 'AFO'. After learning about the situation from the elders of the 'Kyoyama Society', he did not hesitate to end 'AFO's' life.
All Might, already at his limit and further hampered by All Might 'Uraraka Shige, was unable to stop Yamato's actions.
After that, Yamato brought even less pleasant news to everyone present.
"More and more police and those 'heroes' are arriving to reinforce us, and we can no longer hold them off. We're preparing to leave now. What are your plans? Or are you going to infiltrate our ranks and leave with us?"
That's what the Yamato said, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
They weren't afraid of being exposed to those people; they simply didn't want to confront the police and those 'heroes' here.
After all, there are already several corpses here, and All Might is not in good condition. When the police and the 'heroes' arrive, whether they see the scene or learn what happened from All Might and Gran Torino, they will inevitably have to fight them.
Battles like this, which were unnecessary and occurred shortly after they had already fought, were the kind of battles they didn't want to see and wanted to avoid as much as possible.
Therefore, the elders of the Kyoyama Society quickly agreed to Yamato's proposal, preparing to infiltrate Yamato's "union" and then disguise themselves as passersby to sneak away among the onlookers.
Uraraka, who had previously blocked All Might Uraraka Shige, is now being blocked by All Might in return, and has no way to escape.
Actually, it's not impossible for Uraraka Shige to get away from All Might again.
However, if that happens, the two will likely have to fight each other.
Uraraka Shige believed that All Might had once saved him, and he still owed him a debt of gratitude. Moreover, this time and place were not suitable for a fight.
Finally, combined with his previous speculation about All Might's current state, all these factors led him to make a decision: he would delay All Might a little longer and continue their unfinished plan.
Having made this decision, Uraraka Shige immediately activated his 'Quirk', raising a pebble from the ground and launching it towards Qu Zhi's location. After successfully attracting Qu Zhi's attention, he slightly turned his head and mouthed to Qu Zhi his plan.
"You guys go first. I'll stay here to finish the plan, and then I can use my 'Quirk' to escape later."
All Might was certainly aware of Uraraka Shige's actions, but he was already struggling to maintain his muscular form. He might be able to forcefully muster his strength to stop Uraraka Shige from using his Quirk to send out flying rocks, but doing so would inevitably consume a great deal of the remaining embers in his body.
Once the remaining flames within him are exhausted, he will likely no longer be able to maintain his muscular form, nor will he have the strength to fight against Uraraka Shige and the others.
Therefore, Uraraka Shige's actions did indeed achieve the result he wanted.
Slightly distracted by the flying pebble, Qu Zhi looked towards Uraraka Shige. After roughly reading Uraraka Shige's mouth, he could roughly deduce Uraraka Chu's thoughts and intentions.
He then directly informed Gu Yu and the others around him of Uraraka Shige's plan.
We'll leave the question of how Qu Zhi and his group will react after we've informed them for now.
On Uraraka Shige's side, after confirming that Qu Zhi indeed understood her intentions, she felt much more at ease. Then, looking at All Might in front of her, she slightly adjusted her posture in the air to make herself more comfortable, so as not to expose any weaknesses due to her injuries if she confronted All Might for too long.
"All Might, now that 'AFO' is dead, I am free from his control to seek the freedom we crave and to Protection those we want to Protection."
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for everything that happened back then, I might be studying at U.A. High School now... or even perhaps becoming your student..."
When Uraraka Shige uttered those words, his expression was utterly indifferent, as if he were talking about something unrelated to him... While this was indeed how it should be given his character and personality, All Might was still somewhat displeased by his attitude... It felt as if he were casually making up a lie and then using it to fool him without a second thought...
It's the feeling of being completely fooled, like you're being treated like an idiot.
However, All Might did not directly express this dissatisfaction on his face, in his actions, or in his words.
Because his current condition is truly poor, and besides, since Uraraka Shige can hear the news that Yamato tells them, he can naturally hear it too.
Therefore, after learning that Uraraka Shige's 'comrades' would soon leave first, and that the police officers and 'heroes' who were coming to support them had already gained the upper hand in the situation on the outskirts of the battlefield and would arrive here soon, stalling for time itself became something All Might also wanted to do.
It can be said that Uraraka Shige's actions were exactly what he wanted.
So, with both sides having their own agendas but coincidentally achieving the same goal, another five minutes or so quickly passed.
Due to time constraints, Yamato and the others quickly left the center of the battlefield. All Might, though willing, was powerless to stop them. However, All Might blocked Uraraka Shige blocked All Might 'All Might way.
Therefore, even after Gu Yu, Qu Zhi, and the others had all left, and even taken Rikizo's corpse with them, he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to activate his 'Quirk' to escape from the battlefield from the sky. Instead, he continued to stall All Might, waiting and looking for an opportunity.
... After all, Uraraka Shige's physical condition was indeed quite bad at this time.
"... We will establish a 'group' to include people who shouldn't have become 'enemies' but, by chance and for various reasons, have ultimately become 'enemies'. Our core principles will be to find our own freedom and to Protection those we value."
"Perhaps we cannot become 'heroes'! We can only continue to live in this world as 'enemies'! But our hearts will never give up!"
"And the name of the 'group' that can accommodate us should naturally be one that concisely and clearly describes our identity... Therefore, we have decided that the name of our 'group' will be 'The Wandering Protector'! We will forever protect those who are important to us and pursue the true freedom we yearn for, even if it means wandering the world alone."
