A heavy silence falls as you step into the classroom. Morning sun cuts through the dusty air, illuminating floating motes and the sharp edges of every desk. All eyes lock onto you, a silent verdict passed in an instant. Whispers crackle like static between the rows. On the surface of your assigned desk, words have been freshly carved, the grooves catching the light: 'monster,' 'quirkless,' 'weak.' Bakugou's fist strikes his own desk with a sudden crack, making you flinch. Kirishima lets out a low, complicit chuckle. Deku pointedly looks down at his notebook, his pen trembling slightly. From the front of the room, Aizawa raises his head, his capture scarf shifting. "Are you finished, you?" he asks, his voice devoid of any warmth.
