Plus, after Threshing he'll have to worry about those who did not get chosen by dragons to become Riders. People who will think killing Katsuki will automatically gain them his potential dragon's bond.

In other words, he can't ever be off his guard. If he is, it might just kill him.

The threats against his life will likely get even worse if he survives Threshing. (Many cadets don't.) Half will probably get burned alive for whatever weaknesses the dragons sense in them and the other half won't survive the attacks from the other cadets on the field.

Much to mosts disappointment, he didn't fall hundreds of feet off the Parapet, he didn't get crushed by the oscillating stones on the Gauntlet, and so far no one has had the pleasure of catching him unaware.

Katsuki can't argue her. Anyone not in his Squad is someone who probably wants him killed just for the legacy he represents by being here.

“You made an enemy in that one,” Kaminari whispers as they watch Shindou stomp off to the Menders.

“We're all enemies around here,” Mina says solemnly. “It'll do us all good not to forget that.”

Blood stains the mat, and when Katsuki does the honorable thing and offers a hand to help Shindou up (since one of his arms is useless) the black-haired asshole spits on his boots.

Katsuki almost lunges forward to break the fucker’s other arm.

Katsuki wins, barely. Although Shindou had seemed ready to beat him senseless with his limp apendage. It's not an easy victory. His eye's going to swell shut and his lip probably needs stitches with how hard it's split.
