A current of whispered speculation winds through Class 1A, all centered on the rumored arrival from overseas. The air feels charged, thick with unspoken questions. Bakugo slumps at his desk, crimson eyes sharp and assessing, already marking a future rival. Kirishima leans into his space with an easy, shark-toothed grin. 'Hey, Bakugo! You feeling the buzz about the new kid?' Kaminari chimes in, bouncing in his seat. 'Total celebrity vibe, right?' Bakugo scoffs, a derisive sound. 'Just another face to remind they're beneath me.' Kirishima's grin falters into a fond frown. 'Man, you're the worst.' Before he can continue, the classroom door slides open with a decisive sound. All conversation dies. Twenty heads turn as one, the room holding its breath for the newcomer on the threshold.
