Admonition?

After they both spoke up and expressed their guesses about the other's identity, Uraraka Shige and the lean man looked at each other and fell silent.

For Uraraka Shige, if the lean man in front of him really was the 'hero' who came to arrest him, then it meant some bad news.

Firstly, although many "hero" agencies do things like finding cats and dogs, that's usually only when they don't encounter "enemies." After all, the primary job of a "hero" is to help, Protection, and save.

Therefore, 'heroes' generally don't arrest people unless the target is an 'enemy' or a 'bad guy' or someone who has already started moving towards becoming an 'enemy' or 'bad guy', has done wrong things, and may continue to harm others in the future.

If this lean man is indeed the 'hero' who came to arrest him, then it means that he— Uraraka Shige —has been identified by the police and the 'hero' as one of the three individuals mentioned above, or at the very least, someone who is considered to pose a certain degree of harm or loss to other citizens and to be a threat to society.

Just like in his previous life, those mentally ill patients who would frantically harm themselves and others, or even commit various acts of revenge against society, once they had an episode, had to be restrained for the sake of the rights of more people.

Secondly, although he and this wiry man had been running for a long time, even to the point where neither of them had much energy left and could only stop and catch their breath, if this wiry man really was a 'Pro Hero,' then that meant that this wiry man must have the kind of 'quirk' technique called 'ultimate Quirk,' just like All Might's various 'XXX Smash' in the original work.

This means that, Uraraka Shige figuring out the lean man's specific 'Quirk,' given the lean man's ability to dodge his attacks twice on the rooftop, he is definitely no match for the lean man. Faced with this lean man, his only practical option is to run away, just like before.

Thirdly, because they may face the threat of 'enemies' at any time, 'Pro Hero' are generally very united and have a high degree of tacit cooperation with each other. In fact, due to the unknown timing of the 'enemy's' appearance, almost all 'heroes' will go to the target location to provide support as soon as they discover the situation.

Therefore, if this lean man were to seek help from other 'heroes,' he would most likely face being hunted by several 'heroes' simultaneously. In that situation, he would be pursued by people who were already stronger than him, and those pursuing him might even have a numerical advantage, with each person able to form an effective and coordinated attack.

Then he could practically just raise his hands and surrender, giving up all resistance...

Fortunately, after a moment of silence between Uraraka Shige and the lean man, the lean man spoke up to explain Uraraka Shige's misunderstanding of his identity.

"I am indeed a 'hero,' but I'm not here to arrest you; I'm here to protect your family... and in fact, there shouldn't be any 'hero' planning to arrest you."

Uraraka Shige jolted awake from her thoughts by the words of the lean man and subconsciously responded.

"Ah..."

Then, the brain processed what the lean man had said earlier.

"Really? I see... So you're saying you won't take me back?"

Even after realizing what she had said, Uraraka Shige still asked the question aloud, as if to say, "I have some doubts about what you're saying."

After all, the lean man's words revealed that he was not there to capture Uraraka Shige, but rather to protect Uraraka Shige's family. He even stated that no 'hero' actually wanted to capture Uraraka Shige.

However, the lean man did not directly state that he would not bring Uraraka Shige back.

Although the lean man's words implied this meaning, and Uraraka Shige was quite willing to believe in the 'hero,' he still felt at this moment that he should get to the bottom of things more clearly.

The lean man's answer to Uraraka Shige's question after a moment's hesitation brought a Uraraka Shige.

"... If I hadn't encountered you before, I wouldn't have deliberately searched for you. After all, although you broke the law, your age means you're now under the protection of another law... However, now that I've met you, as a 'hero,' I have a responsibility and obligation to bring you back to the agency or hand you over to the police..."

The lean man looked somewhat troubled when he said these words.

"However, our chase earlier has proven that catching you is actually quite difficult... So, although it may be presumptuous, would you please come back to the agency with me?"

Upon hearing the lean man's request, Uraraka Shige's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe that this lean man would say such a thing, actually wanting him to cooperate and be taken back by him. Although the lean man's sincere attitude made Uraraka Shige realize that he wasn't speaking out of arrogance, Uraraka Shige still refused without hesitation.

"No, I still have very important things to do, so I will not abide by the judgment now... I cannot go with you yet."

The lean man was not surprised at all by Uraraka Shige's answer. After all, Uraraka Shige had escaped on his own initiative. If he were really going to go back with him to be tortured, then Uraraka Shige would not have needed to attack the police officer guarding him and escape from the car at that time.

Therefore, after hearing Uraraka Shige's answer, the lean man simply nodded knowingly, a wry smile faintly appearing on his face.

"Is that so... In that case, never mind. Anyway, if you want to run, it'll be hard for me to catch you..."

Then, the lean man's attitude suddenly turned serious, and he said to Uraraka Shige very earnestly:

"However, there's one thing you must remember: your 'Quirk' is excellent, so you must never become an 'enemy' in the future."

As the lean man spoke, he looked intently into Uraraka Shige's eyes. All he saw in Uraraka Shige's eyes was clarity. Then, the lean man turned around and retraced his steps, following the route he had taken to chase Uraraka Shige.

Uraraka Shige, feeling quite surprised. He had thought this 'hero' would attack him, but instead, the man only gave him a word of advice before turning and leaving...

"Not all 'heroes' are like Endeavor..."

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but utter such a sentiment.
