Although Uraraka Shige's eyelids were slightly lowered, he was actually cautiously watching the thugs in front of him who had taken their medicine, quickly recovered, and started to get up from the ground.

At that moment, a playful breeze was blowing through the street, and some passersby quietly took out their phones and dialed the police number discreetly in places where they wouldn't attract attention.

Uraraka Shige did not act rashly.

While the thugs were getting up, he could have easily taken the opportunity to run away, or even launched a preemptive strike to take down a few of them, thus setting the stage for the later battle and making things easier for himself.

But he didn't do that.

He knew that if he took the initiative, he could use his current physical abilities and his already developed and excellent 'Quirk' to defeat several thugs who were trying to get back on their feet. However, if he did that, these thugs, who hadn't yet taken any real action, would probably start attacking him directly.

Ochaco has already used her Quirk to increase her speed and is starting to seek help from the police and professional heroes. Although some thugs have already bypassed him to chase after Ochaco, these Quirk thugs will not be able to catch up with Ochaco for a while. And in the middle of the block not far from here, there happens to be a hero agency.

Moreover, there were still quite a few passersby on this street from time to time. Although many people are indifferent in this day and age, there are always some kind-hearted people who, upon seeing that he was just a child, would secretly call the police for him.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige understood perfectly well that all he needed to do now was try to buy some time, and that the police or a 'hero' would surely arrive soon to rescue him.

However, what he understood was also clear to the group of thugs. Even if some of them were simple-minded, at least the thug known as the boss understood this very well.

So the seemingly honest and simple-minded leader of the Gray Rat Society Gang decisively gave orders to the group of thugs.

"Arrest this brat. Don't waste time. There are so many people around; someone might have already called the police."

The voice, which wasn't deliberately lowered, was naturally Uraraka Shige.

"Tsk! Not even giving them a chance to stall..."

Uraraka Shige. She stared at the gang leader, who had a kind-looking face, with a dull and emotionless gaze. While she clicked her tongue because she seemed unable to stall for time, she was already plotting in her mind to catch the kingpin.

Upon hearing their leader's orders, the thugs began to move. The encirclement that had already begun to form gradually tightened. However, instead of directly attacking Uraraka Shige, the thugs simply tried to Uraraka Shige up, rendering him unable to resist.

Knowing that there was no way to delay any longer, Uraraka Shige naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch these thugs take action, letting such a good opportunity slip by.

Then...

"Level attack!"

While subtly adjusting the direction of Gravity around him to face forward using his 'Quirk' to enhance the power of his punches and kicks, Uraraka Shige also used a Gravity -altering 'Strike' on the thugs who were just getting up in the chaotic area. This knocked the thugs, who were staggering after getting up, back to the ground because the direction and force of Gravity were in a state of confusion, suddenly clearing a small area of vision in front of him.

"Lift!"

He then activated his 'Quirk' again, leaping directly over the group of thugs who, though no longer dizzy, had fallen to the ground again due to Gravity.

The chaotic field centered on him, created by his 'Quirk,' moved forward two meters rapidly with his movement, causing some of the thugs behind the group of fallen thugs to stagger slightly.

Not far behind these thugs who suddenly staggered was the thug leader who had previously given orders to them and seemed like a good guy.

Is Ochaco really planning to capture the leader first?

The moment Ochaco saw the thugs in front of her staggering due to Gravity, relying on her superior adaptability to the Gravity chaos field generated by her 'Quirk', she simply charged straight ahead.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the thugs had no idea about his physical abilities, he kept dodging and breaking free from the hands that tried to grab him, and then simply knocked the thugs, who were already unsteady on their feet because of his 'Quirk', to the ground.

Then, instead of charging directly at the thug leader who seemed like a good guy, he suddenly turned a corner, broke out of the encirclement formed by the group of thugs, and rushed past the thug leader from the side.

At this moment, the gang leader, naturally, also staggered a bit due to the chaotic field of more than a meter around Uraraka Shige, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Clearly, this gang leader had no idea that the dizziness the thugs who called him boss were experiencing was not the truth behind Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk'.

However, this did not stop the gang leader from forcibly twisting his body, causing himself to fall towards Uraraka Shige while simultaneously grabbing Uraraka Shige's ankles with both hands, attempting to drag him to the ground as well.

If the gang leader's sudden change of tactics succeeds, then Uraraka Shige will probably be caught up by the group of thugs behind him, and each of them will pin him to the ground by one of his four limbs. In the end, they will only need to get used to the environment caused by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk', and then they can drag him away even if they have to.

Fortunately, what this gang leader hadn't anticipated wasn't just Uraraka Shige 'Uraraka Shige' Quirk ', but also his physical abilities, which he hadn't expected at all.

Therefore, although his quick thinking led him to suddenly change his tactics and successfully grab Uraraka Shige's ankle, it only caused Uraraka Shige to stumble slightly. In the end, he still managed to break through the encirclement formed by the group of thugs and escape successfully.
