Granny Gray...

When Uraraka Shige led Granny Songju to another street, they saw the thugs who had chased after Ochaco being pinned to the ground by the 'heroes'.

Clearly, Ochaco was now safe with the help of several 'Pro Hero,' which relieved Uraraka Shige from the bottom of his heart.

However, what Uraraka Shige found somewhat strange was that when he turned around to thank Granny Songju and apologize to her, he suddenly discovered that Granny Songju had quietly left without him noticing.

Of course, Uraraka Shige didn't find this strange for long, because something else soon forced him to shift his Curiosity elsewhere.

"Shige QAQ..."

Ochaco's eyes immediately welled up with tears upon seeing Uraraka Shige, clearly because she was severely frightened by being chased down the street by these thugs. Now, seeing her family member, even if it was just her younger brother, she felt both relieved and aggrieved.

So Uraraka Shige had no choice but to put aside all his worries and focus on comforting his sister in this life. He deliberately chose to say nice things, and soon he made Ochaco stop crying and start laughing...

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ochaco only choked up twice and did not burst into tears. Moreover, under the influence of her family and Uraraka Shige, Ochaco is a fairly mature and obedient child.

After Uraraka Shige Ochaco down, the 'heroes' who had protected Ochaco cooperated with the police to put the thugs into police cars. The police would then investigate and handle the matter regarding Ochaco thugs' motives.

As for Uraraka Shige, although he was still a bit confused about what had happened with the thugs, he had already kept it in mind. Although he didn't have a good solution for the time being because the thugs outnumbered him, these thugs couldn't stay together forever, and there would always be times when someone was left out.

If two or three of these thugs were to get separated from their group and be encountered by Uraraka Shige would definitely retaliate severely for what happened today and find out exactly why these nearly adult thugs targeted him and Ochaco.

However, for Uraraka Shige right now, what's more important is to bring his older sister from this life home safely.

Furthermore, he should also seriously reflect on his own actions.

Facing nothing more than a group of underage, Quirk, he couldn't even protect the people he cared about. Just two and a half years ago, he planned to participate in All Might's battle against All For One six months later, and even rewrite the original story's ending where All Might was severely injured in that battle...

But given his current strength, that's simply a pipe dream!

"But I've been trying so hard to become stronger, so why am I still so weak..."

This question lingered in Uraraka Shige's mind all the way, and in the end, Uraraka Shige also came to several conclusions.

First, there are several reasons why someone might work very hard but still not achieve anything.

Talent, direction, and the degree of effort.

If a person's talent is very limited, then no matter how hard they try, their ultimate achievements will be limited. Although this can actually be changed through certain methods, this is fundamentally not true for Uraraka Shige.

Because Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' is undoubtedly an exceptional 'Quirk'! It could even be said that its potential is limitless!

So, does that mean we're focusing our efforts in the wrong direction?

However, Uraraka Shige clearly remembered that the strong characters in the original work, while possessing extremely powerful, even exaggerated, excessive, and seemingly cheat-like 'Quirk,' did not lag too far behind in physical ability. At least in the original work, even though many people had excellent 'Quirk,' their battles were not entirely based on their 'Quirk.' They also relied on many combat techniques and combat experience. Even characters like the headmaster in the original work, and All Might's partner, not only utilized their 'Quirk' but also relied on their excellent intellect in battle.

Uraraka Shige knew very well that he wasn't a particularly clever person, so he focused on honing and solidifying the foundation of his 'Quirk' while also constantly strengthening his physique!

As for not putting in enough effort, that's completely impossible for Uraraka Shige, because he has never stopped training every day. Moreover, he had already developed training methods like 'Heavy Burden' and 'Heavy Shackles' at a very early age, which are almost like passive skills that can both strengthen the body and train 'Quirk'.

So why is he still so weak two and a half years later?

Uraraka Shige looked at her own house gate, which was not far away, and took a deep breath.

He now understood why.

That is...

"Base!"

For the past two and a half years, he has been strengthening his foundation, consolidating his base, and continuously expanding his potential for future development.

All of this is to enable him to grow into a more outstanding individual in the future and to fully explore all the possibilities of his 'Quirk'.

However, while he was working harder to improve his fundamentals, he inadvertently neglected to explore and innovate techniques related to 'Quirk' that could quickly increase his strength.

Even within the past two and a half years, he had only focused on mastering the abilities he had previously developed. However, the new ability he had developed only resulted in a 'chaotic' mess...

Even this so-called 'chaos' is actually an innovation based on the various abilities he developed in his previous 'Quirk'. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that 'chaos' is simply a combination of the techniques of 'rising, falling, and leveling'.

To put it simply, he spent most of the past two and a half years laying the foundation for the future, but neglected the pursuit of strength in the present moment.

"Call..."

After figuring everything out, Uraraka Shige couldn't help but let out a pleasant sigh of relief, feeling relaxed and refreshed. At that moment, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the alley where the former class monitor who had broken into their house and attacked him and Ochaco had once lurked. Then, a thug with a full head of Granny Gray walked out of the alley.

"Hey kid. Got attacked today? Want some revenge? I can help you..."
