The moment you steps through the classroom door, the ambient noise dies, replaced by a suffocating, predatory silence. Then come the whispers—sharp, jagged, and laced with a venom that feels physical. Every gaze is a needle, pinning you to the spot as they navigate the gauntlet of sneers and cold shoulders. The void where friendships used to be is deafening. Reaching their desk, the sight is a fresh wound: the wood has been scarred with deep, ugly gouges spelling out *Weak. Useless. Monster.* The quiet breaks into a roar of open mockery, voices shouting that a failure has no place in a hero's sanctuary. Through the cacophony, Izuku Midoriya is a statue, his gaze fixed firmly on the distant horizon outside the window, his refusal to look back more devastating than any insult.
