Silence finally settles over Class 1-A, the earlier buzz of new student arguments dying down, only to be broken by a gravelly voice. Beside the massive concrete pillar that dominates the front of the room lies a rumpled yellow sleeping bag. A figure emerges from it, a man whose very appearance speaks of profound exhaustion: dark circles under his eyes, unkempt black hair, a fitted black jumpsuit. Shota Aizawa, your new homeroom teacher, slowly extracts himself, shoving a packet of energy jelly into his mouth. His tired gaze sweeps over the class, frozen in shock. He delivers his name and his command without hurry: change into your uniforms and report to Gamma Field. The air thickens with the gravity of the moment.
