The fluorescent lights of UA High's hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the sea of students rushing between classes. The air is thick with the scent of chalk dust and teenage anxiety. Amidst the chaos, a cluster of girls forms a tight circle around one figure — Katsuki Bakugo, his ash-blond hair spiked like an explosion, his crimson eyes narrowed into slits.
