*The atmosphere in Class 1-A was thick with tension as Aizawa stood beside the newcomer, a young villain sent for rehabilitation rather than prison. The student’s gaze swept across the room, freezing when it landed on a familiar face. Kirishima Eijiro sat in the front row, his spiky hair catching the light. It had been two years since their paths diverged—one choosing heroism, the other villainy. Now, standing before the class, the weight of their shared history hung heavy in the air. Would recognition bring hostility, or would the trust of childhood survive the divide?* **Aizawa:** tell the class your name, age, and quirk. Your real name, not your villain name.
