Some people lament that time passes slowly, while others feel it flies by. Some who think time moves slowly also feel that it has passed in the blink of an eye, while others who think time flies by feel that it is slipping away quietly, and every minute and second is torture.

Three more days have passed; it's the weekend today.

Uraraka Shige's strength has not increased much in the past few days.

Although he tried to develop his own 'Quirk', he was surprised to find that some things require inspiration. When that inspiration doesn't come, no matter how hard you rack your brains, it's difficult to get any results.

Indeed, over the past three days, he has not achieved the results he hoped for in developing his 'Quirk'.

Fortunately, he did well on the basics over these three days, and made some progress in strengthening and controlling his body and 'Quirk', so he didn't waste these three days.

As for the thugs who were arrested, they all insisted that they felt ashamed because they had been dealt with so decisively by Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' before, so they wanted to take revenge on Uraraka Shige and Ochaco. Therefore, they could not be convicted of any serious crimes and were only detained for three days before being released today.

Strictly speaking, according to those thugs, it was Uraraka Shige violated the law by using her 'Quirk' first, but because of her age, they basically turned a blind eye to it.

Although the group of thugs actually made disrespectful remarks and harassed Ochaco before this, and may have even planned to do something more outrageous to Ochaco, they ultimately did not carry out their actions and did not commit any crime. Therefore, it cannot be considered that the group of thugs were at fault under the law.

Moreover, those thugs had some experience with getting caught by the police, so they were very careful with their words, saying things like "we just wanted to play with those two kids in a friendly way" or "we were just teasing those two kids."

In short, the police detained those thugs for a few days, but in the end, they had no choice but to release these 'Quirk' thugs, as they couldn't do anything more due to the rules.

On the contrary, Uraraka Shige thought this might be an opportunity, a chance for him to seize the opportunity to get some information from these thugs after one of them was alone.

Of course, if this is just Uraraka Shige wanting to get revenge on these thugs, then there's nothing wrong with that, since Uraraka Shige isn't the kind of magnanimous person who would make a choice like 'of course, forgive her'.

So, under the pretext of exercising on weekends, Uraraka Shige arrived early near the police station where the thugs were being held. He patiently exercised, stretching his muscles and bones, while quietly waiting for the thugs to be released.

Time slowly dragged on until noon, when the sun was high in the sky, and it was time for the five thugs to be released.

Perhaps it was because the thugs also needed to eat lunch, or perhaps they simply didn't care much about the five thugs who had been arrested by the police, or maybe the gang leader thought that the five of them together were safe enough...

In short, when these five thugs were released, not a single one of the thugs who called themselves the Gray Rat Society Gang came to greet them after they had been detained by the police for three days.

However, this also gave Uraraka Shige some opportunities to take advantage of the situation.

"... Damn it... kid... boss..."

The five thugs walked together, whispering and arm in arm, down a street that was quite crowded due to the weekend. Uraraka Shige followed stealthily behind them, acting like an ordinary passerby. He didn't even look at the five thugs; instead, he kept his head down, staring at the ground, and only secretly keeping an eye on the five thugs ahead out of the corner of his eye so that he wouldn't lose them.

Uraraka Shige was fairly familiar with the direction the five thugs were heading, as it was only a few streets away from his home and school. Therefore, Uraraka Shige would occasionally wander around this area. Although he couldn't say he was extremely familiar with the neighborhood, he at least knew that if the five thugs continued walking, they would soon pass through an alleyway that was deserted during Uraraka Shige day but became very lively at night.

So Uraraka Shige quietly quickened his pace. In order not to alert the enemy with his footsteps, he deliberately released his 'Shackles' and used 'rising' to reduce the force he needed to step on the ground. In this way, he could increase his speed while also reducing the sound of his footsteps.

Finally, he succeeded in getting behind the five thugs as they stepped into the alleyway, which was deserted during the day.

"People have to bear more Burden..."

As Uraraka Shige quietly whispered, she activated her 'Quirk', using 'Heavy Burden', which made the five thugs in front of her walk heavily. As their bodies and steps suddenly became heavy, it affected their original pace. Their bodies sank slightly, and they also experienced a brief but noticeable stiffness.

"Flat!"

Immediately afterward, Uraraka Shige, in that instant of subconsciously regaining her balance, shouted loudly to distract them again. At the same time, she stomped her feet, squatted down, and used one hand to support herself on the ground. Using her waist for leverage, she extended her left leg and delivered a sweeping kick to the ankles of the five thugs, enhanced by her Quirk '.

They swept the five thugs who had just been released to the ground, knocking them to the ground and causing them to roll around in a heap.

"They're incredibly weak; all they can do is rely on their numbers."

Uraraka Shige muttered disdainfully to himself, criticizing the five thugs.

He wouldn't have chosen to run away if there hadn't been twenty of them.

At this moment, facing only five 'Quirk' thugs, they seemed far too weak in his eyes. This confirmed just how accurate his initial assessment of these thugs as 'weak' had been.

Even at the age of nine and a half, he could find the right opportunity and take down five people in one go with just two moves.

Although the five thugs weren't actually seriously injured, they were able to get up and continue fighting.
