When in doubt, save your game; if you can't save, level up

In a cramped, dimly lit underground bar.

Everything he saw appeared as multiple images, and he staggered as he walked. He felt dizzy and the world was Uraraka Shige. He was trying to straighten his tongue and his vision, trying to focus his gaze on the bird-beaked masked figure.

At this moment, he naturally didn't know that the guy wearing the bird-beak mask was called Deidoro Sakaki.

They would also be unaware of this guy's 'Quirk' of Sloshed.

Perhaps he might have had some recollection of this matter in his previous life, but unfortunately, he has lived in this life for a long time, and many things from his previous life have become blurry.

As for things like the 'Quirk' possessed by a supporting character in a certain anime/manga, he had long since forgotten them.

Therefore, after realizing that his condition had become extremely abnormal, he subconsciously associated his current state with poisoning.

My first reaction was

"Escape! Escape as far as possible! And it would be best to escape using your 'Quirk' to minimize strenuous physical activity that could cause the poison to spread throughout your body!"

With this in mind, Uraraka Shige activated her 'Quirk' and made a run for her life, directly breaking through Deidoro Sakaki's blockade and rushing out of the door of the underground bar.

As he rushed out of the underground bar, Chisaki Kai and the others who had been within the range of his 'Quirk' returned to normal.

At the same time, as he gradually distanced himself from the Deidoro Sakaki, Uraraka Shige's senses also gradually returned to normal.

This startled him.

"Did the poison lose its effectiveness so quickly?!"

He then quickly realized what had happened and guessed the truth.

"No, that's not right! This isn't poison! This must be that guy's 'Quirk'! But this strange state..."

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he had calmed down a bit, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with this state.

In addition, there was the scent emanating from that guy when he got close...

"... It was like he was drunk... and that strong smell of alcohol... I see!"

Uraraka Shige her senses.

"His strange resistance to my 'Quirk,' coupled with his unsteady crawling, made it clear that he was Sloshed. And then, as he got closer, he shared that state with me through his 'Quirk'... So, was I drunk just now too?"

Having realized this, Uraraka Shige did not immediately turn back to fight them again. Instead, he glanced back a couple more times before continuing on his way.

He found it strange that Chisaki Kai and the others didn't chase after him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, they fought inside this underground bar. Generally speaking, aren't bar owners supposed to be some kind of weird or strange creatures?

He ran fast and thus escaped capture, while those who ran slower, like Chisaki Kai, might have gotten entangled with the bar owner.

However, this was all just his imagination. Regardless of the truth, it had nothing to do with him at this moment.

Having left that underground bar, we managed to find a safe place.

Uraraka Shige slowed down, no longer using her 'Quirk' to accelerate herself, but walking slowly as if taking a stroll.

At the same time, I also devoted some of my energy to thinking.

"Upon closer examination, that guy's 'Quirk' doesn't seem particularly strong... and because I used 'Chaos' earlier, the others besides him weren't able to attack me..."

Li Ri felt the pain emanating from her wound again.

"... But why did I get hurt? Why was I affected by that guy's 'Quirk'? Was it because I was careless?"

He recalled their brief encounter, which might not even qualify as a battle, and gleaned something from it.

"That's right, I was careless at the time, thinking that 'chaos' would be enough to take them out in that environment."

"But the reason I got hurt wasn't just because of carelessness... it was more accurate to say that I was far too arrogant."

"After the 'Battle of Kamino,' even though I was indeed saddened for a time by Rikizo's death, I couldn't help but feel responsible for 'AFO's' death afterward..."

"Perhaps they even feel fortunate, or even that they've gained something, because the life Rikizo was exchanged for the deaths of 'AFO' and his successor..."

Uraraka Shige, then casually spat them out.

"Because of this, I ignored my own weakness. Even after my home was destroyed by that giant from the remnants of 'AFO,' and my family in this life were seriously threatened, I still arrogantly believed that I could solve everything. I still thought that as long as I found enough helpers, just like those previous times, they would naturally help me solve everything in front of me."

"Blind arrogance led to a cessation of the pursuit of power, a halt to the exploration of one's potential, and a self-imposed stagnation, yet one still clings to the belief that one is invincible with a divine martial arts manual from sixty years ago..."

"... Luckily, I was only injured. If this happened in some fantasy works, such a character would probably be buried under a mountain of weeds by now, and there wouldn't even be anyone dancing in the grass... He would probably just be a minor character who makes a brief appearance and gets instantly killed, right?"

"... I'm afraid only the protagonist can get away with it."

Thinking of this, Uraraka Shige's gaze became firm.

"Someone as pathetic as me, who has never had a triumphant rise to power, usually won't have the protagonist's destiny; at best, I'll just be a brainless villain... So I must pick up the development and exploration of my 'Quirk' and train myself! I can't afford to be arrogant anymore..."

His pace gradually became more discreet.

"This world is dangerous; one must hold fast to the thirst for power while remaining extremely cautious!"

Thinking this, Uraraka Shige slipped into a side alley, deciding to find a suitable spot and take advantage of the respite he had gained after escaping the sight of Chisaki Kai and the others and returning to the shadows, to fully explore his 'Quirk' once again.

But before that, he was thinking...

"... At least we need to find Ochaco first and ensure her safety, then I can focus on my training."

Then, Uraraka Shige took her first step in searching for her older sister.

And then, he gained nothing.

... Then two months passed...
