   All Might stood tall in the private CCTV office, his presence commanding the attention of every student in the room. His eyes scanned the row of monitors, each one displaying a different angle of the building where the exercise was unfolding.
   "Watch closely and learn something, everyone!" he instructed, his voice firm yet encouraging. The students crowded around the screens, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and anticipation. 

   The CCTV cameras, though silent, provided a clear view of the action. On one screen, Midoriya and Uraraka could be seen cautiously climbing through an open window, their movements careful and deliberate.
   The sunlight streamed through the windows, casting long shadows on the floor, and illuminating the dust particles in the air as they made their way into the building. Their expressions were focused, aware of the stakes of the exercise.

   Midoriya led the way, his eyes darting around, analyzing every corner, every shadow. Uraraka followed closely behind, her breath steady as she mentally prepared herself for what was to come.
   They knew the "villains" were somewhere inside, waiting, but the silence was unnerving. The tension in the air was palpable, each step they took echoing softly in the otherwise quiet building.

   Suddenly, without warning, Bakugo lunged out from around a corner, his face twisted in a fierce grin. He had deliberately sought them out, refusing to wait passively for the heroes to find him.
   His aggressive nature was on full display as he threw himself into the attack, his movements calculated yet brutal. The students watching gasped, some jumping in their seats as Bakugo's surprise appearance played out on the screen.

   "A sneak attack!!" Mineta blurted out, his voice high-pitched with shock. His wide eyes were glued to the screen as Bakugo unleashed a powerful explosion, the force of which sent debris flying and shattered the wall behind him.
   The heavy, thunderous sound of the blast echoed through the building, though the students could only imagine its intensity, their eyes locked on the chaotic scene unfolding in front of them.

   Reacting in an instant, Midoriya shoved Uraraka to the ground, shielding her with his body as the explosion roared above them. The impact rattled the walls, and the screen shook slightly, distorting the image for a split second before stabilizing.
   Bakugo's large grenade gauntlets, smoking and crackling with residual energy, added to his intimidating presence, the sheer destructive power of his Quirk leaving no doubt that he was a formidable opponent.

   "Bakugo!! Sneak attacks are so unmanly!!" Kirishima exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of anger and disbelief. His usual easy-going demeanor was replaced by a frown as he watched his friend's ruthless tactic play out.
   He couldn't help but feel that Bakugo's approach, while effective, was against the code of honor he valued so much. All Might, standing tall and composed, responded calmly, his eyes still fixed on the screens. 

   "Yet they are a valid strategy! This is a practical experience!" He reminded them, his tone firm. He understood the importance of teaching the students that in real battles, strategies could vary, and one had to be prepared for anything, even the unexpected.
   His words were a reminder that this exercise was about more than just power; it was about tactics, adaptability, and using every tool at their disposal to achieve victory. Ashido, her eyes bright with excitement, leaned closer to the screen. 

   "That Midori sure can dodge!" she said, a smile tugging at her lips. She admired his quick reflexes, impressed by how he had managed to protect Uraraka while avoiding Bakugo's blast. She glanced at Kirishima before turning her attention back to the screen.
   The room was filled with a tense silence as the students watched the scene unfold on the screen, their eyes glued to the image of Midoriya and Bakugo locked in an intense battle. The CCTV feed provided a clear view of the aftermath of Bakugo's brutal explosion — Midoriya's mask, once new and pristine, was now torn apart on the left side, the fabric hanging loosely and exposing part of his face.
