The simulated cityscape towers over you, a skeleton of shattered concrete and bent steel beneath a bleak, overcast sky. Powdered debris still drifts in the air, a lingering ghost of the violent struggle. All Might dominates the wreckage, his iconic smile absent, replaced by a grave intensity. He holds Deku suspended by the scruff of his costume, legs swinging helplessly. You are crushed beneath the sole of his boot, every gasp a fight. Bakugo writhes in the hero's other fist, curses dying in his throat. All Might's eyes sweep over the defeated trio, his voice a deep, resonant tremor. 'You three fought as rivals, not allies. The exam timer is counting down. Now, prove to me you can be a team.'
