Both sides'... no, one side's problem

Arrows continued to be fired from the attackers' crossbows outside the window, but most of them were blocked by Uraraka Shige using her 'Quirk' in conjunction with the furniture that Gu Yu had raised.

The wooden table had already been riddled with holes by crossbow bolts and was almost broken, making it difficult to withstand any further attacks.

"This can't go on."

Both Uraraka Shige and the others inside the house, and the group of attackers outside, knew that the stalemate could not continue.

For Uraraka Shige and his group, if the stalemate continued, even if the attackers would eventually retreat due to the arrival of the 'heroes' and police officers, it would be futile.

However, don't forget that they are also 'enemies' at this point. Even if the attackers manage to escape, they won't have much time left. Once they are discovered by the arriving 'heroes' and police, things will become extremely complicated.

Not to mention, if the stalemate continues until the attackers retreat, they will have no way of knowing who the attackers are or what their purpose is, and there's no guarantee they won't be attacked by these guys again next time.

Therefore, for Uraraka Shige and his group, they needed to at least capture one of the attackers who was of sufficient importance, and at least find out information about the attackers' identities and purposes.

Only in this way can they prepare in advance for the next possible attack, even setting traps to lure the attackers into their trap, or even preemptively finding and eliminating the attackers before they launch their next attack.

As for the attackers outside the house, if the stalemate continued, they would have to leave the scene before the 'heroes' and police officers became any of them.

But if they actually did that, then without a doubt, the attack would be a failure for them, and they would be unable to achieve their goals.

Then they'll likely have to prepare for another attack, adding a lot of trouble and dealing a significant psychological blow to them...

After all, Uraraka Shige and the others inside the house had been fighting back. Although not many people were actually injured, quite a few were injured, and a couple of unlucky ones were even hit in vital areas and lost their ability to fight.

At the same time, how should they divide into teams during the evacuation? Who should stay behind to cover the rear, in case Uraraka Shige and his men, who were caught off guard by their sudden attack, realize something was wrong and launch a counterattack or even a pursuit? These are all things worth discussing. This isn't a movie shoot; no one wants to stay behind to cover the rear.

In this situation, both sides, knowing they cannot continue the stalemate and delay, will naturally take their own measures.

However, this quickly reveals the differences between the members of both the attackers and the attacked.

Once inside the house realized this, Uraraka Shige decisively proposed a plan to split up. Due to his 'Quirk', he planned to leave himself, Gu Yu, and 'Shadow Transformation' here to continue the counterattack while drawing the attention of the attackers outside.

Given their individual Quirk, if they cooperated, achieving this would undoubtedly not be difficult.

Then, 'Deflagration' and 'Heavy Water' quietly sneaked down to the first floor and launched a surprise attack on the attackers outside.

Given that both 'Deflagration' and 'Heavy Water' possess Quirk destructive power and combat abilities, it is clearly quite possible for them to achieve this.

However, apart from Gu Yu, the other three all had strong objections to this method.

After all, everyone knows that while lying in wait to launch a surprise attack sounds appealing, what happens after the attack? You'll inevitably expose yourself, putting yourself in immediate danger.

Therefore, 'Deflagration' believed that he should be on the second floor, defending while launching a counterattack.

His reasoning was that he felt that with his 'Quirk' and abilities, if he could launch a counterattack against the attackers from a higher position, it would yield a more favorable result than if he launched a surprise attack from the first floor.

At the same time, he had been grazed on the side by a crossbow bolt. Although sneaking down to the first floor might not be a big problem, his side injury would become a very troublesome issue if he needed to escape or continue fighting head-on after launching the attack.

The reason for 'Heavy Water' is the same; after all, his 'Quirk' is based on making liquids heavier for attack, and launching an attack from a high place is naturally more powerful than launching an attack from a low place.

Moreover, compared to his "Deflagration" Quirk, his Quirk undoubtedly has a huge flaw in defense, and he is almost completely defenseless. Therefore, going down to the first floor to launch an attack would be too dangerous for him.

As for 'Shadow Transformation', his 'Quirk' dictates that he is unlikely to encounter danger, and his method of retaliation is to use the hand crossbow he had previously stolen and the crossbow bolts fired up by the attackers below. Therefore, the reasons used by 'Deflagration' and 'Heavy Water' are naturally invalid for him.

However, he himself believed that instead of staying on the second floor, he and "Deflagration" and "Heavy Water" would have a much greater chance of sneaking down to the first floor and capturing the highest-ranking commander among the attackers below, based on their individual "Quirk"... as long as that commander was exposed to his sight.

... It must be said that the reasons given by the three of them all seem reasonable at first glance, but upon closer examination, it is easy to find that there are still many flaws and loopholes in their reasons.

When Uraraka Shige to their reasons and opinions and planned to personally infiltrate and attack the group of attackers, the three rejected his idea, arguing that it was thanks to Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' that the second Uraraka Shige was so well-defended.

... How to put it? Ultimately, Uraraka Shige was still among the 'Wandering Protectors' and could hardly win over the masses, nor did she have much say. In this 'group,' the real leader and core was actually only Qu Zhi, who had already disappeared!

And this is precisely the biggest internal problem currently hidden among the 'Wandering Protectors'!

Once they lose their Qu Zhi, they will be nothing but a disorganized mess!
