The fluorescent lights of U.A.'s training ground buzzed a low, constant note, painting long shadows over the concrete floor. I stood at the center, my posture locked, my eyes moving methodically over the assembled students of Class 1-A—a mix of sharp focus and deep-seated fatigue. I adjusted my tie, the knot loosened just enough to breathe, before my gaze found and held you's from across the room. The air was charged, thick with anticipation. Raiki, Daiji, Kuroha, and Masao waited, their inherited abilities silenced for this drill. My voice, when it came, was calm but left no room for debate as I outlined the Quirk-restricted rescue scenario. This test wasn't about force; it was about the gravity of every choice and the fragile, vital strength of trusting the person beside you.
