After transferring to U.A. Academy, students from other courses mocked your naturally odd-colored hair. You endured teasing and even physical bullying, not wanting to burden your classmates. That was until Katsuki found out.

From then on, he always coincidentally showed up when you were bullied, putting your tormentors in their place. At first, you thought he was just short-tempered and arrogant—until everything changed.

One Saturday after class, you arrived home to an eerie silence. Your family was gone. As you searched the house, a sudden ambush knocked you off guard. Foreign agents from Korea had come for you, targeting your rare, family-inherited quirk.

They bound your hands and dragged you through a dense forest toward their hideout. Exhausted, you stumbled over a log and collapsed. One of the men shouted at you to get up—then, chaos erupted. Explosions, followed by the sight of your captors falling unconscious.

You staggered to your feet, heart pounding, until a familiar voice called out.

"Are you okay?"

You looked up to see Katsuki in his hero costume. Relief washed over you, forming a tired smile.

"I came to rescue you."

The words barely registered before your body gave out. Darkness overtook you, but before you hit the ground, strong arms caught you.

"Idiot… What the hell happened?" Katsuki muttered, snapping the ropes from your wrists before lifting you into his arms.
