This chapter, you know, is compensation

"Now it's quite clear. The remnants of 'AFO,' whose whereabouts have remained elusive, have actually been hiding right under our noses all along. They are not numerous to begin with, and they have broken up into smaller groups, scattering all their members across various cities. Furthermore, judging from the legitimate professions they use to conceal their identities, they have probably been preparing for this for over a decade."

Sakinagi's expression looked somewhat serious. This was understandable; more than ten years had passed just to achieve this, and who knew what she was plotting on a deeper level?

But only a smart guy like him would think so much.

Uraraka Shige felt that now that things had come to this point, things had become very simple.

Simple things should naturally be done in simple ways.

With this thought in mind, Uraraka Shige:

"In short, now that we've found their trail and confirmed their identities, we can launch a surprise attack and try to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

Since his 'Quirk' awakened, Uraraka Shige has become increasingly arrogant. In his view, with his current strength, he can basically sweep through most of the dungeons in this world.

Unless he encounters top-tier fighters like 'AFO' and All Might, or even against them, he feels he might be able to put up a fight.

Of course, he was undoubtedly overthinking it. Even if his 'Quirk' had indeed awakened, the result of applying it to All Might would probably not be much stronger than the weight-enhancing rings All Might wore to limit his own strength when he fought against Midoriya Bakugo.

... Although for All Might now, this is already a powerful enough limitation...

In short, Uraraka Shige's inexplicable pride and arrogance are now on full display, and even the three guys from the "Meta Liberation" and "United Shie Hassaikai can easily see it.

But they could tell that they wouldn't say anything, because Uraraka Shige had nothing to do with them. In fact, they hoped that Uraraka Shige could maintain this arrogant and complacent attitude, so that if they ever became enemies, it would be a very advantageous thing for them.

However, since they could all see and think of the same thing, Sakinagi naturally could as well.

And unlike them, Sakinagi was released from that Discipline Prison because of Uraraka Shige.

Therefore, Sakinagi immediately corrected Uraraka Shige's idea.

"I suggest we don't do that; we have a safer way."

Sakinagi stared into Uraraka Shige's eyes, as if trying to see something... Unfortunately, ever since his 'Quirk' awakened, Uraraka Shige's eyes had become like dead fish eyes... she couldn't see anything.

So Sakinagi looked at the dead fish eyes staring at her, and finally gave in to the silent stare.

"Alright... but I still have to say, rather than launching a full-scale war and taking them down in one fell swoop, I prefer to use my 'Quirk' to control them little by little and gradually erode them."

"This way, I won't make any big moves that would alert them, and I can ensure that everything is done in secret. With my 'Quirk,' I can also get more information and inside details from them."

Sakinagi tried to persuade Uraraka Shige through analysis.

Uraraka Shige responded with a single sentence.

"I don't know if you've heard of it, but in that country, there's a Chinese idiom: 'Speed is of the essence in war.'"

Uraraka Shige thought that Sakinagi probably didn't understand these things, and that he could use this opportunity to show off and persuade Sakinagi at the same time.

However, his ideas remained just ideas, and reality did not unfold according to his will.

Sakinagi shattered his original plan with just one sentence and successfully took the place that should have been his in Uraraka Shige's mind.

"... I also know the saying, 'Steady and methodical, advancing step by step.'"

"..."

Uraraka Shige was speechless, finding herself at a loss for words.

And so things began to unfold as Sakinagi had predicted.

Over the next few months, the five members of the Uraraka Shige traveled to various cities and, thanks to Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk', captured several remnants of the 'AFO' gang.

Their ages, genders, jobs, even the cities they live in, their working hours, their living hours and lifestyles, and even details like their hobbies are all different from each other, with only three of them having similar hobbies.

They were a group of complete strangers.

Given their situation, it's fair to say that if Sakinagi n't placed even more trust in his own 'Quirk,' he would have definitely doubted whether he had arrested the wrong person.

But in reality, after being influenced by his 'Quirk,' everything he gleaned from these guys indicated that they were the people he was looking for.

Moreover, the 'Quirk' these guys possess are perfectly befitting of the 'AFO' remnants.

Only...

This group of 'AFO' remnants is actually all that Uraraka Shige and his group have gained.

These guys knew very little about the remnants of 'AFO'. In the eyes of Uraraka Shige and others, they were probably just like the guy who could forcibly accelerate other people's thoughts, all of them peripheral members of the remnants of 'AFO'.

... But this is actually just their misunderstanding.

In reality, the true core of the remaining forces of 'AFO' consists of only two or three people.

Including the 'Doctor', everyone else was even more secretive than these guys, and they could only communicate with each other. The guys that Uraraka Shige and the others captured didn't even have their contact information.

These guys can actually be considered the backbone of the remaining forces of 'AFO'... Apart from them, the only remaining forces of 'AFO' are a few special 'Nomu' and a large group of ordinary 'Nomu' or even inferior 'Nomu'.

This is why the remnants of 'AFO' have been making moves, but it's always only the 'Nomu's' who have actually shown up.

It's not that they don't want to personally demonstrate their strength, but rather that they simply don't have enough manpower.

If they really don't use 'Nomu' and instead take matters into their own hands, then what they're doing isn't flexing their muscles or demonstrating strength, but rather displaying weakness.

On the contrary, it will only strengthen the desire of various forces to tear off a large piece of its flesh.

It's like a muscular, whiny male standing in front of Wang Billy. Others might know you're just being deliberately cute, but in the eyes of these powerful men, you're just oozing slutty charm and begging for attention.
