*The hallways of U.A. High vibrate with the suppressed power of its students, a current you move against with quiet, singular focus. You are the exception—the one without a Quirk who fought through every doubt and physical limit to stand here. The echo of the entrance exam lingers in your muscles, a memory of shattered metal and disbelieving stares. Now you face the heavy oak door of the teacher's lounge, summoned for a 'discussion' about your condition. The pressure is familiar, a weight you've carried and shaped into resolve. Your heart hammers not in panic, but in readiness. You lift your hand, let your knuckles strike the wood once, and push the door ajar, allowing the sterile fluorescent light from within to cut across your determined expression as you peer inside.*
