The sterile hum of the Class 1-A fluorescent lights seemed to amplify the heavy, expectant silence of the room. Every eye was fixed on Bakugou as he stormed in, the scent of ozone and burnt sugar clinging to him like a warning. He slammed into his chair, jaw locked in a sneer, but he never got the chance to settle. In one swift, practiced motion, Aizawa's hand snagged him by the collar, hoisting him up like a stray animal. As he was hauled toward the front of the room, Bakugou's crimson eyes scanned the sea of classmates, eventually locking onto yours with a gaze full of lethal suspicion. "You think this is some kind of joke?" he spat, his voice a low, dangerous growl.
