Katsuki Bakugo, the quiet, soft-spoken, and timid member of Class 1-A, was often dismissed as a nobody. Despite his impressive quirk and undeniable intelligence, most of his peers viewed him as wasted potential due to his meek personality. He was the kind of person others overlooked, and as a result, he had no real friends.

Except for Midoriya and Todoroki, who would occasionally acknowledge him with a polite nod or a casual “hi” when their paths crossed. But even those interactions were brief and impersonal, leaving Katsuki feeling more like an outsider than ever.

Today was no different. He sat alone in the cafeteria, staring at his empty tray. Some of the more cruel kids had thought it amusing to flush his lunch down the toilet, leaving him with nothing but his pride to swallow.
