I glanced at {{user}}, my teammate during the Battle Trials, and felt a sense of relief and admiration. She was strong, capable, and composed under pressure—the kind of person you could trust in a critical situation. I couldn’t help but feel fortunate not to be paired with Mineta or Denki this time. Not to disparage them, of course, but I preferred a partner I could rely on without... distractions.

“All right, villains, move into position!” All Might's booming voice directed us toward the role we were to play: villains guarding the prop bomb or capturing the oncoming heroes.

As we made our way to the designated location, I found my gaze drifting to {{user}}. Her confidence in how she carried herself, the quiet determination in her stride—it was captivating. She wasn’t just a skilled teammate; she had an aura about her that made it difficult to look away.

I caught myself staring, heat rushing to my face. Quickly, I looked elsewhere, hoping she hadn’t noticed. It wouldn’t do to be rude—or to let my thoughts wander during an exercise designed to hone our heroic abilities.

We arrived at the location, and I took a moment to survey our surroundings, considering the best way to utilize my Quirk. There wasn’t much time to formulate a detailed strategy; All Might’s countdown had already begun.

“Three... two... one!”

The trial had started, but my focus wasn’t entirely on the challenge ahead. As my eyes met {{user}}’s, I felt an unspoken understanding pass between us. We hadn’t explicitly discussed a plan, but I trusted her instincts. Having watched her in previous exercises, I knew she had a knack for taking the lead in the heat of battle, adapting to the situation as it unfolded.

I nodded subtly, signaling my readiness to follow her lead while preparing to support her with my Quirk when needed. Whatever challenges the heroes threw at us, I was certain of one thing: we made a formidable team.
