That All-Too-Familiar Time for Feeling Lost Again

Having managed to escape Gran Torino's threat, Endeavor, who was not far from the ground, discovered the culprit who had caused the commotion by throwing rubble around. With a wave of his hand, he sent a stream of scorching flame flying towards Uraraka Shige in the sky.

Uraraka Shige was flying somewhat slowly due to her current physical condition, but she still managed to dodge the flame by manipulating Gravity and changing direction nimbly in the air.

However, this change of direction inevitably slowed down the flight speed that had been gained through continuous acceleration by Gravity.

Gran Torino, who had just adjusted his position, seized the opportunity to catch up again.

After several rounds of this entanglement, Uraraka Shige finally managed to shake off Endeavor and his men, who could only track him from the ground, thanks to his aerial advantage.

Then, relying on his physical advantage, he shook off Gran Torino, who had been chasing closely behind, and finally plunged into the suburban forest.

Having escaped the pursuit of the police and 'heroes' by disappearing into the mountains, Uraraka Shige sat down on a tree trunk and exhaled a heavy breath, which carried a slightly fishy smell.

"Ouch... Ouch~ That really hurts..."

Uraraka Shige raised her hand and touched her chest and abdomen. Her internal organs were aching slightly, and her ribs hurt when she breathed. There were probably many cracks in her ribs, and some might even be almost broken. Luckily, they hadn't pierced her heart, lungs, or other organs.

"Pah! Bah!"

Uraraka Shige's abdomen twitched, and she grunted twice in her throat. She spat a mouthful of saliva mixed with a little scarlet into her palm, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then casually wiped it on the tree.

"Thankfully, the injury doesn't seem too serious; at least it won't affect my eating in the next few days..."

Thinking this way, just to be on the safe side, Uraraka Shige still reached out and carefully felt around on her abdomen for a while.

"Hiss!..."

Touching a sore spot, Uraraka Shige gasped for breath, the cold air entering his throat causing a chill that then traveled to his lungs, making him cough twice. His breath still had a metallic taste, indicating lung damage. However, upon closer examination, the injury didn't seem too severe; it was likely caused by the impact when he crashed into the rubble.

Moreover, the coolness and fishy smell instantly cleared Uraraka Shige's mind.

Feeling much clearer-headed, Uraraka Shige shook her head, confirming that she didn't feel any serious discomfort, just a slight dizziness, and that it shouldn't be enough to cause any aftereffects like a concussion.

After carefully examining his entire body again, and finally confirming that he had not suffered any serious injuries, at least nothing that would require him to have surgery or result in death, Uraraka Shige breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I inexplicably started to Rikizo.

"Rikizo..."

His relationship with Rikizo wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly great either.

After all, Rikizo was initially tricked into becoming his companion by his 'Quirk'. Although his 'Quirk' did allow Rikizo to grow quickly, if you think about it carefully, they didn't actually train together for very long. Rikizo didn't really enjoy much of the benefits or increased training effects brought by his 'Quirk'.

Even so, Rikizo still managed to take a heavy punch from 'AFO' for him not long ago...

Logically speaking, their relationship shouldn't have reached this point...

"... It seems even Rikizo himself didn't expect 'AFO's' arm to contain such terrifying power..."

Otherwise, if Rikizo were to further enhance the power output of his 'Quirk,' although it would shorten the time he could fight, it's unlikely that his 'Quirk' would be forced to exceed its limit under that single attack.

At that point, Rikizo probably wouldn't have lost his life.

Well...

Regardless of the circumstances, it is an undeniable fact that Rikizo saved his life. If Rikizo hadn't stood in front of him and taken most of the impact, he would probably have been punched into a pancake by now and wouldn't have had the chance to think nonsense here.

But Uraraka Shige didn't know what Rikizo was thinking, especially about the things he said at the last moment...

"Speaking of which, I don't really know what Rikizo's house looks like... Maybe I can go and see it someday... and All Might too..."

After today's 'Battle of Kamino,' Uraraka Shige may not have been able to repay All Might's kindness... After all, he killed two 'enemies' in front of All Might and even escaped from All Might's clutches. This will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on All Might and will also greatly weaken All Might's image as a 'symbol of justice' in people's minds.

However, All Might ultimately received a completely different ending from the original story... The current All Might not only no longer has 'AFO' as an opponent, but even Shigaraki and Kurogiri, who will be Midoriya's future rivals, are all dead.

Furthermore, it still retains the spark of 'OFA' within its body...

This is undoubtedly a huge difference and change compared to the original work, and because of these points, many plot points in the original work will be altered.

For example, there will be a cute little girl later...

For example, the rivals of the 'League of Villains' in the original work...

For example, what will be the reactions of AFO's remaining die-hard followers after learning of his death? It'll probably lead to a whole host of troubles, right?

"Well..."

Uraraka Shige, feeling a dull ache in her body and a sudden sense of unease.

"I finally managed to get rid of that mountain called 'AFO' hanging over my head, but it seems like there are even more troubles coming..."

And regarding those die-hard followers of 'AFO'...

Even if Uraraka Shige's disguise had been flawed, after such a battle, the disguise would inevitably have lost its original purpose.

In other words, it seems that Uraraka Shige's true identity will soon be revealed to many interested parties.

"... Thinking about it this way, it feels like my family is actually in more danger..."

Uraraka Shige's expression turned somewhat sorrowful, yet it was also slightly distorted by the pain within her body... but in any case, this expression was hardly pleasant.

He lowered his head, his hands clasping repeatedly across his legs.

"In the end... it's still because my own strength is not enough... If I could possess the power to fight against an entire nation... sigh... even beings like 'AFO' and All Might couldn't do that... what should I do?"

At that moment, Uraraka Shige suddenly felt somewhat lost, his thoughts gradually drifting away, wandering to who knows how far, until he suddenly and inexplicably thought of...

"... Nuclear weapons... deterrent force?"

Then he became thoughtful again.
