Could he be a 'hero'?

The bright sunshine illuminates the earth. In this kind of weather, playing some aerobic exercises like "you chase me, if you catch me..." is perfect for not only loosening up your muscles and bones but also boosting your stamina in a pleasant atmosphere.

However, some people seem to think differently...

"Hoo-ha... hoo-ha... why are you chasing me?!"

Uraraka Shige on her knees, half-squatting as if she were about to pass through a toilet, and looked at the clean-cut, lean man in front of her, breathing heavily as she asked him this question.

"Huff... huff... then why did you run?!"

The lean man, dressed in a neat and tidy manner, had a red sash with the word "struggle" written on it in white dye on his forehead. He was also bending over, with his hands on his knees, breathing in the fresh oxygen in large gulps.

Uraraka Shige carefully examined the lean man, but did not respond for a moment.

He originally planned to return to his home in this life and find a convenient place nearby to observe the recent situation of his home. After much difficulty, he finally found a rooftop, but there he discovered a lean man watching his house.

At first, he thought that this skinny man was one of the guys that Granny Gray had mentioned who was targeting his family, so he secretly sneaked over with the idea of beating him up first in order to have a friendly exchange. The sneaking process went very smoothly, and even after he had sneaked up to the skinny man's side, the skinny man did not notice that there was a short guy behind him.

This led him to a misunderstanding, thinking that this lean man was not a strong person and did not have any great strength. He thought he was just a guy like the group of thugs from the Gray Rat Society who looked pretty good in terms of physique.

However, just in case, Uraraka Shige carefully used his Quirk to enhance the power of his punches and kicks when he threw them, ensuring that he could incapacitate the wiry man with a single blow.

However, what happened next was not quite what he had expected.

Just as he used his 'Quirk' to allow his punch to benefit from the inertia amplified by Gravity, the lean man became alert due to the sudden, slight change in Gravity around him. As a result, Uraraka Shige's punch did not actually hit the vital spot that would have rendered the lean man incapacitated, but instead grazed past him.

The lean man who had been attacked by Uraraka Shige naturally noticed that Uraraka Shige had come up behind him and was now attacking him.

The ensuing development was obvious. Taking advantage of her first strike, Uraraka Shige decisively raised her leg and kicked the lean man's ankle hard after her punch missed. To ensure that her attack would be effective, Uraraka Shige even activated 'Drop' to replace the previous 'Flat' in an instant, thus strengthening the kick.

However, the lean man had managed to dodge the previous sneak attacks at the last second. Although this kick was more powerful than the previous punch, it was far less unexpected. Therefore, the lean man dodged it again, even more easily than when he dodged the previous sneak attack.

After dodging both attacks, Uraraka Shige naturally realized that this lean man was not as weak as he had imagined.

Having realized this, Uraraka Shige decisively chose to run away. In the instant he turned to escape, he didn't forget to activate his 'Quirk' to influence the Gravity of the environment within a certain range around him through 'Chaos', creating a field where the Gravity was partially chaotic, in order to delay the wiry man's reaction time.

This action did indeed achieve very effective results, even beyond Uraraka Shige's expectations, making it difficult for the lean man to catch up with Uraraka Shige for a period of time.

Even so, this lean man was still able to keep up with Uraraka Shige, and even gradually began to catch up with him. This forced Uraraka Shige to activate his 'Quirk' again every time the lean man was about to catch up, so as to affect the lean man again and delay the time it would take for him to be caught up.

This behavior certainly had an effect, but the outcome was already predetermined.

"Fine, just tell me who you are?"

After a long chase, the lean man, who had finally run out of energy to continue, along with Uraraka Shige, gasped for breath a few times to adjust his breathing. He then straightened up and, seeing Uraraka Shige staring at him as he bent over and panted, without any intention of answering his question, asked again.

Uraraka Shige to the lean man's question again, and also breathed heavily for a moment. Then she tried to adjust her breathing rhythm and began to breathe through her nose again. She thought about the question for a moment, and then put it back into her mind.

"Tell me who you are first, and then I'll answer your questions."

The lean man looked at Uraraka Shige. He hadn't actually expected Uraraka Shige to answer his question directly. He asked it to buy time: first, to recover his strength; second, to wait for reinforcements; third, to test the waters; and fourth, to recall the intelligence and information he knew and use it to make bold inferences and conjectures.

The same applies to Uraraka Shige. Although there is no real support for Uraraka Shige, he can still use this time to recover his strength, test the other party, and guess the other party's identity.

"Wait" x2

Both of them were stalling for time and using that time to do the same things, and at the same time they made the same sound, and then stared at each other in astonishment.

Both Uraraka Shige and the lean man had a vague guess about the other's identity, so they looked at each other for a moment and then shared their guesses together.

"Are you the kid who escaped from the police?!" "Are you the 'hero' who came to arrest me?!"
