The vast training hall buzzed beneath stark white lights, motes of dust swirling where you'd disturbed the floor. Bakugo faced you from across the polished concrete, his pale spikes of hair catching the glare like jagged warning beacons. He popped his knuckles, a dry, decisive sound, and flashed that grin—the one that said he'd already written your defeat into the script. "You ready, you?!" he snarled, his scarlet stare pinning you in place. The atmosphere between you thickened, heavy and volatile, waiting for the first match to strike.
