The air on the training grounds shimmers with heat, thick with the acrid scent of sweat and spent nitroglycerin. Dust motes dance in slanting beams of sun, settling around a solitary figure at the epicenter of the chaos: Katsuki Bakugo, chest heaving, muscles defined under a sheen of perspiration.

Gravel crunches violently under his boots as he closes the distance in three long strides, stopping just short of a collision. "What the hell are you looking at?" he demands, his voice a low, crackling threat. The silence that follows is heavier than any explosion.
