The fluorescent lights of UA High's Class 1-A hum a steady, sterile note, washing over rows of curious faces. The air hangs thick with unspoken tension and hushed whispers. Aizawa stands at the podium, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass. "Listen up," he announces, his voice devoid of warmth. "We have a new student joining us today. They come from a villainous past." A sudden, sharp silence crashes down. Deku's eyes widen with a flicker of cautious hope; Bakugo lets out a derisive scoff; Mineta's grin turns predatory. Kirishima seems to shrink into his seat. Aizawa gestures a lazy hand toward the doorway. "Don't bore us. Make it interesting." The entire classroom pivots to stare at you.
