Battle
Although he had already learned from his father and mother that these thugs were actually all 'Quirk' guys.
Moreover, last time, Uraraka Shige used his 'Quirk' to disrupt the Gravity within a certain range around him, creating a chaotic Gravity field around him for a brief period. This caused some organs in the group of thugs to misperceive their surroundings, resulting in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and temporary loss of combat ability. Rihige successfully escaped from the group's encirclement.
However, when Uraraka Shige and Ochaco saw this group of thugs again, their first reaction was still to run away.
After a brief hesitation, Uraraka Shige swayed slightly but remained where she was, telling Ochaco to turn and run away to seek help from the police.
This was because Uraraka Shige suddenly remembered that even with his physical abilities and excellent Quirk, he might be able to outrun these thugs and keep them from touching him. However, Ochaco's training volume had always been far less than his. Moreover, although Ochaco's 'Quirk' could accelerate things in some ways, it didn't mean that Ochaco could keep getting rid of these thugs like he could.
After all, there is a significant difference in their physical strength.
Therefore, Uraraka Shige, holding Ochaco, hesitated for a moment after lifting her foot, then decisively let go of Ochaco's hand and whispered to Ochaco:
"Ochaco, pack light, then go find the police or a 'hero' to come rescue me. I'll stall for time, you run!"
Ochaco did indeed want to stay away from these thugs. After all, the fear they instilled in her when they were near the company office building hadn't completely dissipated. Especially now that she had encountered them again, the memory of that fear was still fresh in her mind, as if it had happened just yesterday.
Therefore, Ochaco's desire to get away from these thugs, to escape as far away as possible, and to be as far away from them as possible, was absolutely genuine.
But she was more worried about her younger brother. She still remembered when she saw Uraraka Shige in the hospital. His Uraraka Shige face and weak state, and the feeling that he might leave her, were deeply imprinted in her heart. She was worried that if she went to the police and the "hero," she would see Uraraka Shige in the hospital bed again when she came back.
So should she stay? Or should she listen to her brother and run away to get reinforcements? A strategic retreat?
Ochaco chose the latter.
Not only did she choose the latter, she also activated her 'Quirk', quickly putting her clothes and personal belongings into a 'Zero Gravity' state. This is exactly what she did during the timed run in the physical fitness test at U.A. High School in the original work, where 'Quirk' could not be disabled.
This was because of her trust in Uraraka Shige. She believed in her younger brother's abilities and that he had given his choices careful consideration. Although Uraraka Shige always thought of himself as not very smart, in the eyes of the still young Ochaco, her younger brother was undoubtedly more mature than others his age.
Therefore, she chose to follow her younger brother's advice and go get reinforcements first, leaving him to hold off the thugs until they arrived, at which point she would return to rescue him.
As Ochaco ran further away, the group of thugs running in their direction saw this and ran even faster, closing the distance between themselves and Uraraka Shige. Just as they were about to send a few men to chase after Ochaco, Uraraka Shige's eyelids suddenly drooped down slightly, perfectly obscuring the light in his pupils. His eyes looked dull and lifeless, empty like a salted fish, completely concealing the emotions contained within them.
Immediately afterwards, he brazenly activated his 'Quirk'.
"Chaos!"
It's the same old trick again, and it's still very effective.
Although the thugs were already on guard against the two kids' 'Quirk' after learning that their target was the same two kids who had escaped from them last time, they still felt dizzy and unable to control their bodies after Uraraka Shige abruptly changed the Gravity environment around them. They all fell to the ground due to the sudden loss of their sense of direction.
From a distance, the scene looked comically like a group of men tripping and falling flat on their faces at the same time.
Although this was just a group of thugs who had only recently come of age, apart from the guy called the boss, none of them had reached the age where they could be called men.
However, these thugs were prepared.
The fallen thugs quickly pulled out milky-white capsules wrapped in plastic wrap from their pockets. These were medicines prepared by their leader after he learned that Uraraka Shige and Ochaco had escaped from them using their 'Quirk'. They could effectively block out feelings of dizziness and weightlessness.
Although they didn't know that this unregulated drug could actually be considered a kind of drug that numbed their senses and affected their minds, that didn't prevent them from quickly recovering from the confusion after taking it, despite its serious side effects.
The thugs following behind the fallen thugs reacted instantly upon seeing them suddenly collapse. They quickly scattered to the sides, avoiding the group of thugs who were fumbling for medicine in their pockets. Some continued chasing after Ochaco, while the rest simply pulled out the unregulated medicine from various parts of their bodies and swallowed it.
"What is this?!"
Uraraka Shige also witnessed the group of thugs taking drugs.
He was somewhat shocked to see that after these thugs took a drug he had never seen before, they were actually freed from the negative effects of his 'Quirk'.
At the same time, because the thugs who had taken the drugs were able to ignore the effects of his 'Quirk' on them to a certain extent, and because the range of his 'Quirk' was still too limited at the moment, he was unable to stop the thugs who were going to bypass him and chase after Ochaco.
After all, only a minority of the thugs were suddenly attacked and knocked down by him using his 'Quirk', while the majority of the thugs had already taken the drugs he had never seen before and were beginning to subtly surround him.
This caused him to feel frustrated, but also a deep sense of powerlessness and self-doubt. He could only offer his blessings to Ochaco in his heart, hoping that she could successfully escape the pursuit of those thugs and find the police and the 'hero' as soon as possible to come back and rescue him.
