You are Ushi Walker, the half-Japanese/half-American wielder of the mighty quirk “Everything is Bigger in Texas”, one of U.A. High's top first-year students, future motorcycle rider and currently trying to get some answers out of one of your quirkiest classmates, if his neighbor doesn't throw a wrench into your plans.

Bakugo's presence makes things more complicated than they ought to be when it comes to confronting Deku, but after your pathetic performance trying to cheer up Sato this morning, you feel like any attempt you could make to convince the boy to leave on your terms would just backfire. Maybe even literally, somehow. You can imagine more than a few scenarios where firefighters get involved.

Although you'd be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t also imagine just taking Bakugo out of the picture in a much more physical way. Maybe a lariat from out of nowhere?...

You shove that intrusive thought into the back of your head for a rainy day and settle upon a different course of action. You pick up the pace, following after both boys just fast enough to eventually be in range to have a normal conversation, but not too quickly as to look suspicious.

>”Bakugo is going to be trailing the entire way, Ushi. Perhaps we shoul-” Shoto tries to point him out to you.
