The second act

After breaking through the headquarters of the Shie Hassaikai, Chisaki Kai's Uraraka Shige remains unknown.

In short, another three days have passed.

When the camera cut back to Uraraka Shige, he was in the center of a crowded square.

Sakinagi appeared by his side as always, accompanying him as they waited for the top agent— Kurogiri Giran —to appear.

To be honest, it's quite difficult to meet this agent; at least Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi have been waiting here for about an hour.

Fortunately, Kurogiri Giran did not make them wait there any longer, otherwise, they might have completely worn down Uraraka Shige's patience.

"Hmm, you two, I didn't expect it to be you who came looking for me this time."

Wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette, he could be described as somewhat unrestrained or, to put it bluntly, carefree and irresponsible.

Suddenly, a disheveled, unshaven middle-aged man emerged from the crowd behind Uraraka Shige his companion and greeted them.

Uraraka Shige, being somewhat aware of the situation, was able to sense it to some extent, so it was alright for him. However, Sakinagi was completely unprepared for this and was genuinely startled. But because he was quite meticulous, he didn't show any emotion on his face.

"So what brings you here? Do you need to buy weapons? Information? Or do you need me to help you recruit some companions?"

After the group moved to a more suitable place to talk, Kurogiri Giran spoke directly. He seemed to have already found out about the current situation of the 'Wandering Protectors' to which Uraraka Shige and the others belonged.

This is understandable, given that several months have passed and Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi have been acting alone. Those with ulterior motives would naturally be able to glean some information from this.

Sakinagi had anticipated this and had already informed Uraraka Shige, so neither of them was surprised.

"We can find companions ourselves if we need them. We came to you mainly to gather some information and purchase some equipment."

Uraraka Shige's voice sounded somewhat indifferent before he stated his requirements for the so-called equipment.

His requirements for equipment were not complicated, but rather tedious and troublesome. In addition, the information he wanted to purchase was important, and he needed to confirm the accuracy of the information in person. That's why he tried to contact Giran in person to communicate.

However, Giran, upon hearing Uraraka Shige, clearly did not think so.

"Tsk tsk, your requirements are quite troublesome, but perhaps you have some in stock... As for the information, we still need to investigate, and it will probably take about a week to get a definite result."

Giran took a deep drag, burning the cigarette in his mouth all the way down to the butt.

Then he shrugged, and smoke billowed out, swirling around his face, making him look even more nonchalant.

"... Shouldn't we pay a deposit in advance?"

Uraraka Shige, silently took out a wad of cash wrapped in cloth from her pocket, and tossed it over while controlling herself with her 'Quirk'.

Since Uraraka Shige didn't use this to test him, Giran simply raised his hand and took the bundle of cash. He then tossed it around, opened it, and roughly checked the amount and denomination of the cash before smiling and putting it away.

"We will complete this transaction here at noon seven days from now."

As Giran said this, he turned around, took two steps, and then suddenly waved to Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi behind him.

"Out of consideration for our cooperation, I'll provide you with some information for free. You'd better be more careful in the future. You're now on the official list, and many guys will want to catch you for various reasons."

Giran walked out of there with crisp, clear footsteps.

Just moments after he left, a group of men burst through the door, each carrying an axe. With cold smiles on their faces, they skillfully surrounded Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi.

"Wow! The Axe Gang?! Aren't they going to do some dancing or something?!"

Surrounded by them, Uraraka Shige felt no pressure or crisis at all; in fact, she even wanted to laugh.

He opened his mouth and made a sarcastic remark in a questioning tone, but no one present understood the joke. One of the "Axe Gang" members even seriously explained to him that he was not a member of the "Axe Gang".

Uraraka Shige pursed his lips speechlessly, instantly losing any interest in playing around with them. Instead, he stealthily activated his 'Quirk'. Taking advantage of the 'Axe Gang' members' charge, he turned them into rolling gourds on the ground, and then pushed them aside with his Quirk 'Uraraka Shige to make way for the two of them.

Uraraka Shige walked down the corridor and left.

Pushing open the door and stepping outside, he found himself surrounded by a group of men also wielding short axes. Knowing that these men wouldn't understand the 'Axe Gang' joke, Uraraka Shige had no interest in wasting any more breath on them.

As Uraraka Shige slightly widened his eyes, a massive Gravity rushed in, engulfing the group of people.

The sudden increase in Gravity, several times stronger, pulled the group of men wielding short-handled axes off balance, causing them to stagger. With Uraraka Shige adding another force, they all fell backward to the ground, no longer able to hinder Uraraka Shige.

Uraraka Shige had no interest in these guys who he could easily take down, and ignored them completely before passing through the area exposed after they fell, together with Sakinagi.

As for these guys, he completely ignored them, letting them do whatever they wanted after he left.

Then time flew by, and a week seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi returned to this place once again. This time, unlike before, when they arrived, Giran was already waiting for them.

Beside him was a rather peculiar piece of equipment, which at first glance looked exactly like a cleaver without a blade or handle.

"As you said, this frisbee has three thousand steel balls, each half a centimeter in diameter, evenly embedded in it and secured with metal clips. Without affecting the even distribution of Gravity, the steel balls can be removed at any time using a special method."
