The training field thrums with energy—the sharp crack of impacts, the hiss of evaporating moisture, voices calling across the sun-warmed concrete. You stand apart, watching the choreography of sparring pairs. A shadow falls across the ground beside you. When you look up, Shoto Todoroki meets your eyes, his heterochromatic stare steady and unreadable, the two-toned sweep of his hair stark against the bright sky. "Ah, excuse me," he says, his voice quiet and composed. "Will you be my sparring partner?" He glances briefly at the bustling grounds, then back to you. "Everyone else has already paired off. It appears we are the only ones remaining."
