Granny Songju's Training Method
Hearing Granny Songju's joke, Uraraka Shige felt somewhat helpless. After chatting with Granny Songju for a while, at Granny Songju's invitation, he returned to the lobby of the private apartment and had a quick breakfast with several teenagers who had also stayed overnight on the first floor the day before.
It's worth mentioning that the girl who called herself Momotani Hanawa woke up early this morning and then left the apartment without having breakfast with the group of teenagers.
After a quick breakfast, Uraraka Shige, having learned from Granny Songju's conversation that Granny Songju was unaware of All Might's recent itinerary and upcoming plans, expressed her gratitude and bid farewell. She planned to wander around, hoping to find some clues from certain people, or at the very least, encounter a few good opportunities like before where she could take advantage of a favor.
However, Granny Songju did not agree to Uraraka Shige. Instead, she asked Uraraka Shige a question.
"This morning, Little Hanawa told me everything about the cause, process, and result of your battle with her. According to Little Hanawa, you possess an excellent 'Quirk,' but you were at a disadvantage from beginning to end when fighting Little Hanawa?"
Uraraka Shige was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Momotani Hanawa would tell Granny Songju the details of their battle, and he certainly hadn't expected Granny Songju to say such things to him afterward.
However, after appearing stunned on the surface, and with many thoughts racing through her mind, Uraraka Shige finally admitted to it.
First of all, it is indeed true that he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of his battle with Momotani Hanawa, until his final defeat.
Secondly, Granny Songju herself is, at least for him now, an absolute powerhouse, whether in terms of her knowledge, experience, strength, or even the development of her own 'Quirk'.
He even spent the night at Granny Songju's private apartment to avoid being in that small park at night and letting the cold night wind seep into his body.
So Uraraka Shige not only admitted it, but did so very decisively, so as not to leave a bad impression on Granny Songju.
"Really... I didn't expect you to admit it so readily, you little brat..."
Granny Songju seemed somewhat surprised by Uraraka Shige's behavior, because the children she had encountered in the past were generally very resistant to admitting things that would make them feel ashamed, and would even rather pay the price of lying for it.
Therefore, Uraraka Shige's decisive admission inadvertently disrupted, to some extent, what Granny Songju was originally going to say.
However, in general, it did not affect Granny Songju's original plan. So, after a brief pause and slightly changing her wording, Granny Songju asked Uraraka Shige again.
"So, kid, would you be willing to stay with me for a few more days? After all, you look quite different from when I last met you. I imagine you haven't been having an easy time lately. Besides, although I'm just an ordinary person, there are still some things I can teach you."
Uraraka Shige silent, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. At the same time, Granny Songju spoke up again, adding a sentence.
"And although I don't know why you're asking me about All Might, I suppose you don't have a good way to find out what you want to know right now, right? In that case, you can use this time to think it over. It's clear that you're different from the other kids; you're much more clever than them."
Uraraka Shige thought for a moment, and as Granny Songju said, he didn't have any good way to find out All Might's itinerary at the moment.
If he had to say something, perhaps the only option he could seek help from the Genga Family. However, he had no idea whether he could get Genga Family help even if he found Genga Family. Even Genga Family did help Genga Family, it was still uncertain whether they could find out any details about All Might's schedule.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Uraraka Shige agreed to Granny Songju's suggestion and politely expressed her gratitude.
"Yes, Granny Songju. In that case, I'll be troubling Granny Songju for the next period of time. Please take good care of me."
Granny Songju laughed, her face full of wrinkles, and shook her head repeatedly.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I'd be more than happy if such a handsome young man stayed with me for a while, how could I possibly find it troublesome?"
Uraraka Shige wore a bewildered expression, Granny Songju make several nonsensical jokes. Seeing that the old woman seemed determined to tell lame jokes until the end of time and the world entered a new ice age, Li Rizhong had no choice but to interrupt Granny Songju's enthusiasm. Instead, he asked Granny Songju to teach him how to develop his "Quirk" and enhance his combat experience.
However, as soon as the request was made, Granny Songju had been smiling with wrinkles all over her face, immediately changed her attitude, her face instantly becoming stern, and she directly rejected Uraraka Shige's request, assigning him a small task instead.
"Developing your 'Quirk' is something I can't help you with, and I'm afraid no one can help you with either; it's all up to you. As for helping you gain combat experience, you're too optimistic right now. You probably won't gain any combat experience fighting me, even if I control my power to a certain extent."
"Besides these trivial matters, there's something more important that needs to be done by you. I just don't know if you, little devil, are willing to do it?"
What could Uraraka Shige, who had already decided to stay at Granny Songju's private apartment for a while, do? Despite having thoughts like, "What should I do if they want my body?" all over her mind, she eventually agreed.
Granny Songju didn't make any demands on him as he had imagined, as some of the indescribable stories in those novels did. Instead, she simply gave him a very simple task, though she did impose some conditions on it.
"Since that's the case, and no one has washed the dishes after breakfast today, I'll leave that to you. But remember, if you really want to develop your 'Quirk,' then you have to start with small things."
Granny Songju said this, giving Uraraka Shige a meaningful look before adding earnestly:
"Please be careful not to break the dishes or chopsticks."
