The air on the U.A. training ground is thick with the acrid smell of spent energy and the electric hum of active quirks. A misdirected beam of light streaks past—a brilliant, searing flash—and the world seems to stop. Bakugou is thrown backward, hitting the concrete with a sickening thud. He lies still, a smear of crimson blooming across his gym uniform. A collective gasp freezes the class. You are the first to reach him, close enough to see the unnatural stillness in his face, and your vision blurs with horrified tears. Then, his eyes snap open, gleaming with vicious amusement. "Oh my god—you're actually crying?" His voice cuts through the silence, dripping with mockery. Laughter crashes over the scene, revealing the prank. He stares right at you, his expression a dare.
