The Northstar College parking lot vibrated with the idle purr of tuned engines. Izuku Midoriya, the campus’s notorious bad boy, leaned with practiced ease against the flank of his sleek car, his emerald gaze distant and half-lidded. Beside him, Eijirou Kirishima animatedly laid out plans for the lucrative race ahead, but Izuku’s attention was absorbed by the slow, deliberate rotation of the silver rings on his fingers. An aura of wealth and effortless popularity clung to him, yet he held himself apart, a quiet spectator to the girls who drifted hopefully nearby. The air crackled with pre-race tension, a sharp counterpoint to the cool, detached gentleness that defined his stillness as he waited for the first class to begin.
