Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three years, a series of events, both big and small, have occurred.

This includes All Might's retirement, the rise of the original protagonist, the resurgence of that Killer Cancer, and the rumors of 'AFO' reappearing.

None of these things have anything to do with Uraraka Shige!

There are only two things that are truly related to Uraraka Shige.

Firstly, Ochaco's performance has been extremely active and excellent, and she will likely become a professional 'hero' in just a few years.

Secondly, regarding the 'enemy', during these three years, a figure appeared who was shrouded in a jet-black cloak, surrounded by black mist, and had only one hand available for combat. Moreover, the hand used for combat was always half-raised, palm facing upwards, loosely holding a large amount of black mist that gathered together but could not be completely condensed.

He claims to be an 'enemy' who came for revenge.

Because this 'enemy' rarely holds back in battle, those caught in the fight often suffer broken bones and twisted muscles, dying gruesome deaths, hence the nickname 'Death Omen Star'.

The so-called 'Death Omen Star' is actually Uraraka Shige, who was injured in both arms three years ago.

Three years ago, he suffered serious injuries to both arms. But overall, since they weren't completely severed like when he was a child, he didn't think it was a very serious matter.

But when he found a quack doctor in the underworld who specialized in handling these kinds of things, he was faced with the choice between his arm and his life.

Upon hearing this, Uraraka Shige naturally realized the seriousness of the situation. He subsequently sought out many renowned underground Doctor, but ultimately received the same result...

His left arm had suffered three serious injuries, and at this point, it was beyond saving.

Uraraka Shige could not accept this outcome, so in order to save his left arm, he kidnapped several underground Doctor and coerced them into helping him save his life while also saving his left arm.

Ultimately, a group of underground Doctor came up with a solution that could save his life and spare him from amputation.

The price he paid was that his left arm would essentially lose its ability to move freely until it could be cured someday.

These all happened within the first year.

Afterwards, in order to conceal her identity and to quickly adapt to the fighting style with only one arm that she could move, Uraraka Shige, just like the outfit she wore in the League of Villains.

At the same time, they searched for suitable targets to practice on.

The fact that he is missing a movable arm has affected his balance, which in turn has affected his ability to manipulate Gravity through his 'Quirk'.

Simply put, since her 'Quirk' awakened, if Uraraka Shige wanted to knock out a single hair from someone, she only needed to have a thought, and she would never make a single mistake.

Since injuring his arm, and through special treatment preventing the injury from worsening, he has lost the ability to move his left arm.

Whenever Uraraka Shige tries to use Gravity to create an airflow and blow out a burning candle, he always unconsciously applies extra force, squeezing the entire candle, along with the flame, into a pile of waxy mud.

The flames extinguished naturally.

As a result, it becomes impossible to properly control the amount of force exerted or to smoothly manage the intensity of one's 'Quirk' usage, which inevitably leads to unexpected events during combat.

Therefore, in the previous year, he experienced hundreds of life-or-death battles. All those who fought with him, or ordinary people and even 'heroes' who were caught up in the middle, would end up with a miserable fate because he could not control his power.

As for the so-called revenge... I'm ashamed to say that this was just a reason that Uraraka Shige made up to make things seem reasonable.

As for why this hastily made-up reason was accepted by so many people... these days, who doesn't have an enemy? It might even be just because someone glanced at you in a crowd, and then it becomes "What are you looking at?" "What's it to you?" "You can't look at me?" "You say no, then no? Try looking at me again!" "Try it then!"... and so on... until they become in-laws or enemies.

This situation lasted for a year, but in the third year, which was the second year that Uraraka Shige transformed into the 'Death Omen Star', things improved considerably.

Uraraka Shige gradually regained control of his strength. Those who fought with him did not lose their lives immediately; at most, they suffered broken limbs, spinal injuries, hemiplegia, bleeding from all seven orifices, incontinence, inability to speak, excruciating pain, insomnia, loss of appetite, and unbearable agony, unable to live or die...

Hmm... I think I can understand why the name 'Death Omen Star' became even more exaggerated in the second year than in the first...

By the way, the word "can't turn one's eye" here means literally, referring to the inability to move the eyes in the eye sockets.

Three years later, which is today.

Uraraka Shige looked at the two 'enemies' who had fallen in front of her and the 'hero' who had initially fought two opponents without being at a disadvantage, but then suddenly switched sides and joined forces with the two 'enemies' to fight her after she discovered him, and was ultimately defeated by her with a single blow because the two 'enemies' escaped. She felt somewhat happy.

"Finally, I can control it perfectly again!"

In his turbulent emotions, the black mist swirling around him fluctuated noticeably. The black mist in his right hand, which was either loosely clenched or loosely supported, condensed into a spherical shape and unconsciously grew sharp edges, turning into a sea urchin, or perhaps undergoing some other change. Then, all these changes disappeared, and he returned to a seemingly unstable sphere.

Uraraka Shige noticed this.

He knew what this scene meant.

"Is it still impossible to completely condense into a more stable form like a solid? But I clearly feel that my ability to manipulate 'Quirk' has returned to a perfect state, and in the past few years, based on the Chaotic Gravity Field left over from back then, I have mastered the technique of Compress Gravity and thus changing the properties of Gravity itself..."

"In other words, for some reason, I have regained perfect control over my 'Quirk,' but just like before my 'Quirk' awakened, due to some unresolved issues, I am unable to fully utilize this control... It's like there's some kind of bottleneck? No, a barrier! I only need to break through this barrier to further enhance my strength."

Uraraka Shige clenched her right hand, and the black mist ball formed by a large amount of Gravity was directly grasped in her palm. Then, controlled by her 'Quirk', it scattered as if it had been crushed.

He raised his head, his gaze, hidden in the shadows of the black cloak's hood, was unfathomable.

He said:

"I've gone to seek real revenge... My first target will be simple... Endeavor... I've come to take my revenge on you!"
