An Unexpected Visitor

Having the memories and experiences of his previous life, Uraraka Shige certainly didn't think that Granny Songju's request to him was simply to have him work here.

In fact, from the moment Granny Songju told him that he would have to wash the dishes and do the housework, and also use his 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige couldn't help but think of the Shaolin Temple and other places from his previous life.

In the previous life, there were many temples where monks would carry loads of water down from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, and then carry the water back up. They were not allowed to spill any water during the process, otherwise they would have to fetch it all over again.

This kind of behavior involves cultivating and training oneself in the midst of ordinary daily work. Through the little things and trivial matters in daily life, one can hone one's character and self-control, gradually becoming stronger.

The request that Granny Songju made to him reminded him of this, and after hearing it, he realized that Granny Songju's training of him had begun from that moment on.

Having realized this, Uraraka Shige didn't waste any time. Instead, he went straight back to the first floor of the apartment and started cleaning up the dishes. He also used his 'Quirk' to lighten his Burden and make his work easier.

However, because Granny Songju had deliberately emphasized not to damage the dishes, Uraraka Shige could only carefully start from the minimum output that he could control within his own 'Quirk', gradually increasing the Gravity he could control, and little by little increasing the Burden that he could lighten.

To be honest, this kind of training isn't actually that difficult for Uraraka Shige, since he's been training his Quirk and physique ever since Uraraka Shige awakened Quirk. But that doesn't mean it's not helpful for Uraraka Shige.

This training method, much like the "Heavy Shackles" technique he developed for his "Quirk," continuously enhances his control over his "Quirk" and body every day. Although the daily improvement is extremely limited, it adds up and eventually brings him a pleasant surprise.

So for the next two days, Uraraka Shige stayed in Granny Songju's private apartment, training his 'Quirk' using the various methods Granny Songju suggested. Although there was no significant progress yet, Uraraka Shige was not in a hurry. Until the third day, a guy he had met a few times before suddenly came to Granny Songju's private apartment.

"You actually chose to run away?"

The guy with a full Granny Gray hair stood at the main entrance of the apartment complex, watching Uraraka Shige inside as he was imposing his 'Shackles' on him while simultaneously throwing punches into the air. His face was filled with an extremely exaggerated and fake expression of surprise.

Upon Uraraka Shige also dropped her composure and looked at him with displeasure. Just as she was about to speak, the Granny Gray- haired guy interrupted her first.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect you to be here? No wonder the police haven't found you... even though they haven't really put much effort into finding you."

Granny Gray's words made Uraraka Shige frown slightly. He didn't quite understand. What was the connection between staying here and not being found by the police? Why use the word "no wonder"? Was there something special about Granny Songju's private apartment?

Uraraka Shige wanted to ask about her doubts directly, but was once again interrupted by the Granny Gray.

"Well, it's certainly safe for you to stay here, but your family doesn't seem to be having as much fun as you."

Granny Gray once again revealed information that Uraraka Shige was very concerned about. So, almost without thinking, Uraraka Shige instinctively asked the question. This time, perhaps his reaction was too quick, so Granny Gray didn't have time to react. Therefore, this time, Uraraka Shige's words were not interrupted by the Granny Gray guy.

"My family? What happened to my family?!"

Uraraka Shige stared wide-eyed at the Granny Gray at the gate of the yard, her body radiating an aura that seemed to say, "If you don't give me a straight answer today, I'll tear a piece of flesh off you!"

However, when Granny Gray looked at Uraraka Shige, even though Uraraka Shige had adopted such an attitude, Granny Gray still seemed very relaxed, as if she didn't care about Uraraka Shige's appearance at all.

However, Granny Gray still spoke up and answered Uraraka Shige's question.

"Your family? It seems some thugs' families came to your house causing trouble, and your family seems to own a construction company, right? It appears your competitors have also joined forces to severely suppress your construction company..."

Granny Gray looked at Uraraka Shige Uraraka Shige, whose aura gradually became more subdued as Granny Gray spoke. She paused for a moment, seemingly feeling that she had achieved her goal, and said nothing more. Instead, she put on a half-smile and told him everything about what had happened at Uraraka Shige's house in the past two days.

"... Also, speaking of which, your family seems quite worried about you. You have an older sister, right? It seems she's starting to be ostracized at school."

As she said this, Granny Gray paused again for a moment, then shook her head as if regretting something.

"Speaking of your family, they've really suffered an undeserved misfortune... you've dragged them down so badly~"

Uraraka Shige to Granny Gray's words, her mood gradually grew heavy. In the end, she even began to clench her teeth, her small, tender hands forming tiny fists, looking as if she was about to explode with anger. This made the Granny Gray- haired guy secretly delighted.

However, in the next moment, Uraraka Shige suddenly let out a long breath, and his expression became cold and indifferent. His eyes were open, but they had no luster. Instead, they were very dim, as if they could swallow up and absorb all the light around them. He stared at Granny Gray coldly, which made Granny Gray feel an ominous premonition.

"You..."

Uraraka Shige, her slightly immature yet very hoarse voice barely beginning before it was suppressed by another aged yet vibrant voice.

"Oh! Who is this handsome young man? Is he here looking for a partner?"

But then Granny Songju appeared behind the Granny Gray at the doorway, looking at her Granny Gray which was the same color as her own, and said something that sounded like a joke.
