It has no meaning in English or any other language because it's simply a twist on the word hero school in Japanese. :)

As Mitsuki Bakugo got up from the table, she gave her son a sharp look. "Katsuki, you'd better be hospitable to your guests, or I'll give you something to complain about," she warned, her tone light but firm. Without waiting for a response, she headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, leaving Bakugo, Kuro, and Izuku in an awkward silence.
For a moment, the three boys sat there, unsure of what to say or do next. The silence was thick, but it was Kuro who broke it first, his ever-curious eyes darting around the room, taking in everything.
Bakugo, uncomfortable with the quiet, suddenly blurted out, "Wanna play Injustice 2?"
Izuku blinked in surprise, a wave of nostalgia washing over him. "You still have that game? We used to play it all the time when we were kids."
Bakugo's face reddened slightly, not out of anger but embarrassment. "Shut up, Deku. It's just a game," he muttered, trying to downplay the significance of the memory.
Kuro, who had been listening intently, tilted his head in curiosity. "What's Injustice 2?"
Izuku, always eager to explain, leaned forward. "It's a fighting game, but with superheroes and villains instead of regular fighters. It's really fun, and the story mode is great too."
Bakugo, seizing the opportunity to shift the attention away from his embarrassment, grabbed a controller and handed it to Kuro. "Here, I'll show you how to play. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it."
Kuro took the controller with his usual bright smile, clearly excited to try something new. Izuku watched them set up the game and couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. "You know," he said, his voice soft, "we played every difficulty level when we were younger. We won every match... except for the last one."
Bakugo scoffed, though there was a hint of a smile on his face. "Yeah, we couldn't get past the Brainiac boss battle. It was ridiculous. We gave up on the game because of it."
Kuro, his competitive spirit ignited, grinned. "Well, maybe I can beat it!" he declared confidently.
But as the game began, it quickly became clear that Kuro's optimism was no match for Brainiac's ruthless AI. Within minutes, Kuro's character was pummeled into submission, the screen flashing a brutal "Defeated" message. Kuro stared at the screen, his usual smile faltering as he processed the loss.
Izuku and Bakugo exchanged a look, both of them sighing in unison. "Yeah, we felt the same way," Izuku said, a bittersweet smile on his face. "We were so confident at the start, but Brainiac just... crushed us every time."
Just then, the front door opened, and in walked Bakugo's father, Masaru Bakugo. He had the same spiky hairstyle as his son, though his hair was a darker brown, and he wore glasses that gave him a more laid-back, gentle appearance. Unlike his son, Masaru exuded a calm, easygoing aura that immediately put others at ease.
"Hey, Dad," Bakugo greeted calmly, a stark contrast to his usual explosive demeanor. It was clear that Bakugo held a special respect for his father, and his tone reflected that.
Masaru smiled warmly at his son before noticing the other two boys. "Ah, Katsuki, it's nice to see you bringing friends over again," he said, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. "What are you all up to?"
Izuku, feeling more at ease around Masaru, quickly explained the situation. "We've been playing Injustice 2, but we're stuck on the final boss, Brainiac. None of us can beat him."
Masaru chuckled softly, adjusting his glasses. "That game, huh? I remember when you two used to play it all the time," he said, nodding toward Bakugo and Izuku.
Kuro, who had been uncharacteristically silent since his defeat, finally spoke up, his voice tinged with disappointment. "I lost... badly," he admitted, sulking in his seat.
Bakugo, noticing Kuro's mood, decided it wasn't worth ruining the day over a video game. With a sigh, he handed the controller to his father. "Here, Dad. Why don't you give it a shot? Maybe you'll have better luck."
Masaru hesitated, a modest smile on his face. "I'm not sure I'd be any good. It's been a long time since I've played anything like this."
Izuku, always encouraging, said, "It's worth a try, Mr. Bakugo. You never know—you might just beat it!"
Kuro, perking up slightly, added with a hopeful grin, "Yeah! Give it your all!"
Reluctantly, Masaru took the controller, and the boys watched as he navigated through the game's menu to start the final battle.
As the fight began, Masaru's hands moved with surprising precision and speed, his character dodging attacks and landing blows with ease. The boys leaned in closer, their eyes wide with disbelief as Masaru's health bar remained almost untouched.
Within minutes, the battle was over—Brainiac had been defeated without Masaru taking a single hit. The screen flashed the "Victory" message, and the final cutscene began to play, showing the game's ending.
The room was silent for a moment, each of the boys processing what they had just witnessed. Masaru, for his part, simply shrugged a faint smile on his face. "I used to play a lot of video games back in the day," he explained casually. "I even did some Esports when I was younger, but I gave it up once I got married. Guess I've still got some of those old reflexes."
Kuro, watching the finale cutscene with wide eyes, quickly snapped out of his sulk and cheered up, his infectious enthusiasm returning in full force. "That was amazing, Mr. Bakugo!" he exclaimed, genuinely impressed.
Even Bakugo couldn't hide his surprise, though his expression quickly softened into a rare, genuine smile. "Not bad, old man," he said, his tone more affectionate than usual.
Izuku, however, was caught off guard by the sight of Bakugo smiling—a real, happy smile. It was such a rare occurrence that it left him momentarily speechless. "K-Kacchan... you're actually smiling..." he blurted out, before realizing what he had said.
Bakugo's expression immediately darkened, his usual scowl returning in full force. "Shut up, Deku!" he snapped, his earlier embarrassment resurfacing. "It's just a game!"
Masaru chuckled at the exchange, clearly amused by the dynamic between the three boys. "Well, I'm glad I could help out," he said, standing up and stretching. "I'm going to rest for a bit until dinner is ready. You boys have fun."
As Masaru left the room, the boys were left to their own devices once more.

Quirk: "Ki"
Description:
"Ki" is the quirk of Kurokami Tenshin. It grants Kuro access to an internal energy reserve known as "Ki," which he can use for a variety of purposes. The unique aspect of this quirk is that the energy reserve grows when it's depleted, meaning the more Kuro uses his "Ki," the more he has in the future. This makes "Ki" an evolving resource that increases in both quantity and potency over time.
Base Form ("Base"):
Function: Kuro's "Base" form is a state where he continuously uses "Ki" to enhance his physical abilities—strength, speed, durability, reflexes, etc. The key feature of "Base" is that it operates at a level where Kuro's natural replenishment rate of "Ki" can keep up with the energy consumption. This allows him to maintain this form indefinitely without exhausting his "Ki" reserves.
Growth: As Kuro's total "Ki" reserve grows, so does the power and effectiveness of his "Base" form. This means that "Base" will naturally become stronger as Kuro becomes more adept at using his quirk.
Light Purple Aura: In this form, Kuro's "Ki" manifests as a light purple aura, which surrounds his body and is a visual indicator of his power. This aura is expected to change color as Kuro's mastery and strength with "Ki" evolve throughout the story.]
