Half and Half

In fact, if it were an ordinary person in this situation, they might actually turn around and leave quietly to avoid trouble.

However, this assumption is actually very difficult to hold true.

Even in this 'Quirk' society, it's often impossible for an ordinary person to so decisively and efficiently deal with these seven bank robbers who had formed an 'enemy group' to commit crimes as a gang.

At this moment, Uraraka Shige's identity is that of an 'enemy,' so he cannot be considered an ordinary person.

In fact, this man who appeared to be the leader was well aware of this.

Of course, what he understood was not Uraraka Shige's identity, but rather that this "what if" was unlikely to be true.

Regardless of whether they were negligent or not, the two women they were supposed to protect were kidnapped, their personal safety was threatened, and the older woman was even injured. They cannot escape responsibility for this.

They had no other choice but to steal Uraraka Shige's credit and claim it for themselves, trying to make amends for their mistakes.

While this cannot erase their mistakes, it can at least minimize their losses and prevent their reputation from suffering too severe damage.

This was a last resort, a measure taken out of desperation.

However, Uraraka Shige doesn't care what their reasons were for making this choice.

That has nothing to do with him.

In fact, Uraraka Shige wouldn't care about having his credit stolen.

This probably doesn't even count as a merit for him... and he had no intention of saving the two women at all.

He was simply and purely retaliating against the seven 'enemies' who had attacked him.

The safety of the two women was not a concern for him, and they were also attacked by him.

That's why the two women fell unconscious.

However, since there was that fat 'enemy' behind them, and Uraraka Shige's attack was not the kind of move that could directly kill someone.

Therefore, they were not seriously injured, except that the older woman happened to bump her forehead when she rolled off the fat 'enemy' and landed on the ground.

It could be said that they were all lucky, which is why they only suffered such injuries instead of having their joints broken or something similar.

... But even though that's the truth, and even though Uraraka Shige doesn't care that his so-called 'merit' has been stolen, he does care that what rightfully belongs to him has been taken away without his permission.

Even if it should be credited to him as "his own achievement," he didn't care at all.

What he cares about is that the very occurrence of such a thing is a disrespect to him.

What he cares about is that it means his rightful interests have been infringed upon... Even though he doesn't care about these interests in the first place, he can choose not to accept them, but others cannot take them from him.

This may seem similar to so-called domineering behavior, but in reality, Uraraka Shige's thoughts stem from selfishness... However, those who only know how to be selfish and cannot learn to give back at the right time often end up in bad situations.

In short, this was the thought that Uraraka Shige had regarding the words of the man who appeared to be the leader.

Under the man's attitude—almost to the point of shoving his finger into his nose and politely telling him to get lost— Uraraka Shige also became somewhat irritated.

He decided to teach these guys a lesson.

As a result, the Gravity that had always existed all around was suddenly mobilized and became active.

The activated Gravity, as if transformed into liquid, was manipulated by Uraraka Shige, flowing silently around the group of men who appeared to be bodyguards.
