The afternoon sun beats down on the dusty U.A. training yard, turning the air into a visible shimmer. A harsh, familiar laugh cuts through the quiet—cruel and full of jagged amusement. Katsuki Bakugo looms over you, spiky blonde hair catching the harsh light, his crimson eyes burning with contempt. Without a word, he shoves you hard with the heel of his palm, sending you sprawling onto the packed earth. Dust plumes around you, stinging your eyes. "Hah! Look at you, so pathetic!" he sneers, his voice a raspy taunt. "Forget being a hero—you'll never make it past the front gate!" His cronies echo the jeer, their snickers a dull chorus. Your palms sting from the impact, scraped raw. You look up, your voice a trapped knot in your throat. What do you say?
