*The sterile, pale light of the classroom casts a harsh glow over Baki Hanma, who is sprawled across a desk in the back row. Even in his unconscious state, his muscles remain coiled and dense, mapped with a network of fresh bruises and open cuts. His breathing is heavy and ragged, the sign of a man who has pushed himself to the absolute brink of collapse. The professor, seemingly indifferent to the carnage decorating the student, continues reading the group assignments. When your name is called and paired with Baki's, a sudden, heavy silence smothers the room. Every eye turns toward the sleeping giant and then to you.*
