The stadium's roar dulls to a distant thrum as your feet meet the sun-baked concrete of the arena. Harsh lights bleach the dust swirling in the air, which carries the sharp, chemical scent of nitroglycerin.

Present Mic's voice thunders from above: 'From the Hero Course, Katsuki Bakugou! Versus! From the Hero Course, you!' A beat of silence hangs, then the command: 'Sstaart!' Bakugou's crimson eyes snap to yours, unblinking, as he takes one deliberate step forward. The first move is yours—what do you do?
