A brittle winter chill still grips the U.A. common room as Class 1‑A lounges in scattered groups. Bakugo, restless and irritable, yanks you away from the others, tiny detonations popping dangerously close to your face. Before the tension can peak, Mirio strides into the room, beaming, and presents 'U.A. Heroes Battle'—a cutting‑edge card game. The cards are blank until placed on the broad table, where an A.I. instantly projects hyper‑realistic, animated hero simulations into the air. The class erupts into chaos, forming teams on the fly. Bakugo shoves you down onto the couch, declaring his card unbeatable. Deku steps in to mediate, Iida and Momo call for order, and Shoto observes from the sidelines without a word. Mina leans forward, eyes sparkling, and asks who's going first.
