So today I rolled on over to keep updating after all =w=
Back at the guesthouse, after a quick dinner, Uraraka Shige went to sleep with a jumble of thoughts. She seemed to have had a strange dream Uraraka Shige the night, though she couldn't remember the details. But whenever she thought of it, she would unconsciously touch the top of her head to make sure her hair was still intact.
The morning Uraraka Shige. I did some light exercise to loosen up my muscles and bones before going downstairs for breakfast.
After dinner, Uraraka Shige returned to her room and casually flipped through today's news, memorizing some potentially useful information while discarding a lot of unnecessary and miscellaneous information. Afterward, she went to the place where she had conducted the experiment yesterday afternoon to continue the work she had not finished, and then returned home in the evening.
Thus, another half month of this rhythmic life passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Uraraka Shige missed home again, so that evening he said goodbye to Qu Zhi and the others and hurriedly embarked on his journey home.
After preparing the food, thanks to her 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige hitched a ride on many vehicles along the way and avoided being tracked by the police and 'heroes' several times, making her journey quite smooth.
The only unusual thing was that after Uraraka Shige hitched a ride with a car in the suburbs, perhaps because the journey had been so smooth, he became a little careless and was noticed by the car owner.
However, the driver did not immediately fly into a rage. Instead, he had a Uraraka Shige and invited her Uraraka Shige his car. He drove her directly to the place on his route Uraraka Shige to her destination before dropping Uraraka Shige off.
If that were all, Uraraka Shige might simply see the car owner as a very kind and well-meaning person.
However, during the conversation, some information revealed by the car owner actually caught Uraraka Shige's attention.
Because the car owner was an ordinary person with no Quirk.
Moreover, according to him, just a few months ago, he was a member of a gang of thugs. It wasn't until his girlfriend left him in despair that he woke up, rose up, found a decent job, and within a few months gained the appreciation of the company's senior management. Not only did his status and salary improve significantly, but he also received a generous bonus for helping the company close a large deal, making him a car owner overnight.
The information he revealed made it hard for Uraraka Shige not to think of the "Gray Rat Society," a group of "Quirk thugs," that had led him down the path of becoming an "enemy."
Although, as mentioned before, Uraraka Shige already knew that there were many "Quirk thug groups" similar to the "Gray Rat Society" in this society, and before joining the "League of Villains," he had personally seen more than one such "group."
However, the car owner's demeanor gave Uraraka Shige a strange sense of familiarity, a vague feeling of déjà vu.
However, even after Uraraka Shige returned to the city where his family lived in this life, he was still unable to recall the source of this sense of familiarity, and soon he no longer had time to ponder what this sense of familiarity was all about.
When he secretly returned to the place where his parents lived in this life, he was shocked to find that their home had been reduced to ruins, and there were a large number of police officers and 'heroes' patrolling the area.
He then disguised himself as a passerby and inquired with others, only to learn that shortly before his return, about two days prior, the area had been suddenly attacked by a giant.
After the giant wreaked havoc here, he was quickly met by police officers and a group of 'heroes' who arrived just in time.
However, the giant was exceptionally powerful. All the police officers and 'heroes' present were completely helpless against him. They could only pay a heavy price to keep him there while evacuating the crowd and waiting for other 'heroes' to come to their aid.
In the end, even the Mount Lady rushed over and was defeated by him.
Fortunately, unlike in the original story, All Might, who was still the 'No. 1 Hero' at this time, arrived together with Shoto Todoroki and several other powerful 'heroes'. In the end, they joined forces to defeat the giant and escorted it to another location with the help of the police.
Among the ruins of this area, including the buildings along the path the giant had charged through, many were dead or wounded. However, the house in the very center, which was destroyed in the giant's rage, Uraraka Shige's 'home' in this life, was completely empty. Two days had passed, and no one had returned to say that the house belonged to them.
This left many victims' families with no outlet for their anger.
"Giant..."
Uraraka Shige stood in the shadows in the corner, her fists clenched, completely unnoticed.
"... giant..."
Clearly, the word 'giant' that he learned about made his memories from his previous life, which had become very blurry, slightly clearer... At least he recalled part of the memory of a certain event in the original story.
"... A giant... Machia...?"
Uraraka Shige's face looked terribly gloomy.
"... Giant Machia... AFO had already laid a trap years ago, before All Might defeated him... that being who was absolutely loyal to him, one of AFO's hidden old comrades... Giant Machia... Giant Machia who could withstand a negative 'Quirk' without undergoing any modifications..."
"... So, this is an act of revenge by 'AFO's' hidden old forces after learning of 'AFO's' death? In other words, they confirmed that 'AFO' was really dead... which is why they acted so irrationally?"
A chill emanated from Uraraka Shige, her pupils contracted to a very small size, and her eyes were faintly red.
But he remained calm and thoughtful.
As has been said before, he is a 'selfish' guy, so selfish that it is rare to call him a 'selfish' 'person'.
It's because of his way of thinking, his habits, and many other aspects of him that are different from ordinary people.
He is a selfish guy to the core, selfish to the very depths of his soul.
In some cases, he might even harm himself for his own selfish gain, ignoring the consequences, as long as he achieves his desired goal.
Unlike the madness of gamblers, he is often in an extremely calm state in this situation. He sets his desired goal as his first priority, and then calculates like a machine, adding everything he can think of to the calculation formula, ultimately just to achieve his first priority goal as quickly as possible within the price he can accept.
"... My parents are probably alright. My sister might not know about this yet, or perhaps she's being prevented from doing so by the school... As a student of 'U.A. High School.,' if something happened to her, it would probably be reported in the news right now... So my sister is most likely alright... and she's probably under the protection of 'U.A. High School.'... Therefore, our top priority should be finding my father and mother, then uncovering the identities of the hidden members of 'AFO,' and..."
A cold glint flashed in Uraraka Shige's eyes, and then she abruptly turned around to look.
A hand had been quietly placed on his right shoulder without him noticing.
