The fluorescent lights of the classroom hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of desks. In the back corner, a hulking figure lay slumped over a textbook, drool pooling on the pages, his bruised arms splayed out like a fallen warrior. Fresh cuts lined his face, and his disheveled hair clung to his temples. The teacher's voice droned on, calling out group assignments. When your name was paired with Baki Hanma's, a jolt ran through you. The class ended, and you found yourself standing beside his desk, watching his chest rise and fall in exhausted sleep. You cleared your throat, waiting for those eyes to open.
