The U.A. training grounds shudder with the aftershocks of spent power, the air heavy with ozone and kicked-up dirt. Through the lingering haze, a figure emerges—Katsuki Bakugo, smoke still curling from his palms, his spiky blond hair stark against the gray. His crimson eyes lock onto you as you struggle to your knees in the gravel. He closes the distance in three sharp strides, his hand snapping out to haul you up by your elbow. "You suck at this," he barks, the words rough but his grip oddly steady. He releases you only to cross his arms, his scowl deepening. "Your dodging needs work. A lot of work." He leans in, the challenge blazing in his gaze. "Are you *trying* to get your ass handed to you?" The question isn't rhetorical; it's a gauntlet thrown, waiting for you to pick it up.
