The Cherry Blossoms Have began to fall.. 

The morning after her intense match with Bakugou, Katana Hoshikana walked into class with a newfound sense of confidence. The echoes of yesterday's battle still lingered in her mind—the thrill of testing her abilities, the rush of adrenaline, and the satisfaction of holding her own against one of UA High School's strongest students.

Katana sees her friends Hey Guys Morning ^^ 

Mina: Hey Girl! Hope Ya Rest Well After yesterday's Match? 

Katana: I Did. I didn't know how peaceful it was to have some calmness to yourself after a long day of resting the muscles.

"Yo, Katana! That was an awesome match yesterday. You really gave Bakugou a run for his money!"

Mina nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, you were amazing! We've never seen Bakugou take someone so seriously in a match like that."

Katana blushed slightly at the praise, feeling a warm sense of accomplishment. "Thanks, everyone. I just did my best."

Iida, ever the model student, gave her a respectful nod. "You demonstrated excellent control over your quirk, Katana. It's clear that you've trained hard."

As the compliments poured in, Katana felt a surge of pride, but she also knew that she couldn't let it go to her head. There was still so much to learn, so much to improve on. And there was one thing she had been meaning to share with her classmates.

"I've been thinking a lot since I came to UA," Katana began, her voice steady as she addressed the group. "About who I am, and who I want to become as a hero. And I think I've finally decided on a hero name."

Her announcement piqued everyone's interest, and they leaned in closer, eager to hear what she had chosen.

"My hero name is... Storm," Katana declared, her voice filled with determination. "It represents my quirk, of course, but also the strength and resilience I want to embody as a hero."

"Storm, huh?" Kirishima said, grinning widely. "That's a super manly name! It suits you."

Mina clapped her hands together, beaming

Mina clapped her hands together, beaming. "I love it! It's powerful and totally fits your vibe."

Katana smiled, feeling more at ease now that she had revealed her chosen name. It felt right, like a piece of her identity had finally clicked into place.

Throughout the day, her classmates continued to congratulate her on her match against Bakugou, and the name "Storm" quickly became the buzz among them. But beneath the surface of all the excitement, Katana found herself thinking more and more about Bakugou.

Their match had been a turning point for her, not just in terms of her abilities, but also in how she viewed him. Despite his harsh demeanor and explosive temper, she couldn't deny that Bakugou was an incredibly skilled and driven hero-in-training. She respected his strength, and a part of her was curious to learn more from him.

Later that afternoon, after classes had ended, Katana decided to head to the training grounds again. She needed to keep pushing herself, and she figured there was no better way to do that than to continue honing her skills. As she walked through the now-familiar paths, she spotted a figure off in the distance, moving with intense focus.

It was Bakugou.

He was in the middle of a solo training session, his movements sharp and precise as he unleashed powerful explosions with every punch and kick. Katana watched from a distance, admiring the way he pushed himself to the limit, even when no one was watching.

But as she continued to observe, something unexpected happened. Bakugou paused, taking a moment to catch his breath. He wiped the sweat from his brow and, in one swift motion, pulled off his shirt, revealing the lean, muscular physique beneath.

Katana felt her heart skip a beat, and she quickly turned away, her face heating up with embarrassment. She hadn't meant to stare, but now she couldn't stop thinking about what she'd seen. She had always admired Bakugou's strength, but now, a different kind of feeling was starting to take hold, one that she hadn't anticipated.

"Get it together, Katana," she muttered to herself, trying to shake off the strange flutter in her chest. This was Bakugou, after all—the same fiery, intense boy who had challenged her in front of everyone. She couldn't let herself get distracted by... whatever this was.

Still, as she resumed her own training, the image of Bakugo lingered in the back of her mind. She found herself wondering what it would be like to train with him more often, to learn from him, and to push each other to become even stronger.

And then there was the question she hadn't dared to ask herself yet: Was it possible that she was starting to see Bakugou in a different light?

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, Katana knew one thing for certain—her journey at UA was just beginning, and the path ahead was full of new challenges, new friendships, and new feelings she was only beginning to understand.
