As the fourth period of css ehat m, Kaminari stood up, pag away his textbooks and p what to eat for lunch. Just then, a smartphone s was shoved in front of him, the device held by a small, pale hand.

  "Kaminari, check this out," Kyoka said, holding out her phone.

  Kaminari gnced up at her, curious, then turned his attention to the s. Tetsutetsu, sitting behind him, leaned forward to get a better look as well.

  The video dispyed on the phone seemed to have been recorded on a rooftop. The frame was steady, and judging by the warm su in the distahe footage was taken ie afternoon.

  "Hey, isn't that Kazama?" Kaminari asked, raising an eyebrow as he reized the boy on the s.

  "Kazama? Who's that?" Tetsutetsu asked, fused.

  "He's a friend of Kyoka's, from the Hero Course at Shiketsu High. He's also the backup keyboardist for our Pikachu Band," Kaminari expined casually.

  "Shiketsu?" Tetsutetsu's voice rose iement.

  Kaminari's mention of Shiketsu immediately grabbed the attention of the surrounding students. Midoriya, Uraraka, and a few others quickly gathered around to see what was happening.

  "Yeah," Kaminari replied, keeping his eyes on the phohat's him."

  The video tinued pying, showing Kazama fag the camera with a fident smile.

  "Watch closely, Kyoka! My 'Cloud Fist' move was a huge hit today!" Kazama announced proudly.

  "Alright, alright," Kyoka's voice replied from behind the camera, sounding exasperated. "You've told me that like five times already. Just show me."

  The camera wobbled slightly before steadying again.

  "Cloud Fist, huh?" Kaminari muttered, the name vaguely stirring a sense of familiarity in him. Where have I heard something like that before?

  On the s, Kazama's expression shifted, being serious. White clouds began to swirl around him, f rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  But these weren't ordinary clouds—they looked dense and tangible, more like rge tufts of marshmallow than the wispy vapor one would expect.

  "Take this! Cloud Fist!" Kazama shouted, throwing a punch straight into the air.

  The clouds surrounding him seemed to e alive, surging upward and coalesg into the shape of a massive fist. The cloud fist rocketed into the sky, its sheer size and speed making it look powerful and imposing.

  The camera followed its ast, revealing just how high and fast the struct was traveling.

  "Well… that's something," Kaminari muttered, scratg his head as the video ended.

  "How clouds pack that much power?" Tetsutetsu asked, his tone mirr Kaminari's fusion. "I mean, clouds are supposed to be soft, right? How do you turn them into something like that?"

  Kyoka put her phone aursed her lips before responding. "Kazama said his Quirk, Flowing Clouds, might not produal clouds at all. He thinks they're 'super clouds'—clouds that shift between being intangible and solid depending on his i."

  "Super clouds?" Kaminari repeated, intrigued.

  "But there's still a limitation," Kyoka tinued. "He only use his Quirk if there are clouds in the sky for him to draw from."

  Before Kaminari could say anything, Midoriya spoke up, his expression serious as he touched his in thought. "A Quirk like that… If it really toggle between being virtual and real, it's incredibly versatile. That level of adaptability is impressive. It's no wonder he's in Shiketsu's Hero Course."

  Midoriya immediately pulled out his ever-present notebook and began scribbling furiously, muttering to himself as he tried to analyze Kazama's abilities further.

  The rest of the group was used to Midoriya's behavior by now, so while Uraraka smiled in amusement at his enthusiasm, the others began heading out of the to grab lunch.

  ---

  "Kaminari, do you have any ideas for Kazama?" Kyoka asked nervously as she followed him to the cafeteria. It was clear she wao help her friend but didn't know where to start.

  "I might have a few ideas," Kaminari replied thoughtfully, "but it depends oher Kazama is open to suggestions. You should ask him first. Some people don't take kindly to advio matter how helpful it might be."

  Kyoka nodded, realizing Kaminari's point. "Yeah, you're right. I'll check with him before bringing anything up."

  ---

  Soon, the group gathered in the cafeteria, food trays in hand. Kaminari dug into his Chi Rice Bowl while tinuing to think about Kazama's Quirk.

  "You tell him this," Kaminari said between bites. "If his clouds be used for offehey probably be used for defeoo. He could try gathering them into a shield or a barrier."

  Midoriya, still jotting down notes, chimed in eagerly. "I thought of something too! He could use his clouds to restrain targets. As a Hero, trol and a are often more important than raw offensive power."

  Tokoyami, usually quiet during such discussions, suddenly spoke up. "He could ride the clouds. Flying would be an invaluable ability."

  "That's a good point," Momo added, sippiea with a smile. "He could also shape the clouds into tools. The versatility is incredible."

  Before long, the entire group was brainst ideas for Kazama's Quirk, each suggestion sparking new possibilities. It even made them refle their own Quirks, w if they'd overlooked any untapped potential.

  ---

  After school, Kaminari asked Tetsutetsu to wait for him as he made his way to the first-year teachers' office.

  Wheered, the room fell silent, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes turoward him. Aizawa, sitting at his desk, looked up from his papers and frowned.

  "Kaminari? Why aren't you heading home?" Aizawa asked, his tone ced with curiosity.

  "I'm here to see Ms. Midnight," Kaminari replied calmly, unfazed by the attention of the teachers.

  Midnight stood up from her desk, surprised. "You're looking for me? What's this about?"

  "Could I borrow one of the training grounds tomorrow afternoon?" Kaminari asked, his tone polite yet hopeful.

  Midnight raised an eyebrow. "I suppose that's fine, but what do you for? Are you developing a new move?"

  She trailed off as a thought struck her, her expression shifting as if she'd realized something. She chose not to eborate, however, leaving Kaminari slightly fused.

  "No, it's not for developing new moves," Kaminari crified. "I want to use it for a sparring match… with Snatch. We couldn't find a suitable venue, so I thought of asking you."

  "What?"

  "You're sparring with Snatch?!"
