Song Recommendation for this story is: “Be An Alpha” By Trevor Tordjman

✦━━━━━✦

Let’s be real for a second.

Halloween at U.A. was supposed to be fun. A normal, semi-chaotic, “look at my costume” kind of day. Some people went all out. Some people threw something together last minute. Some people just wore orange and called it a day.

Then there’s the Dark Forces Pack.

Eight students who looked at Halloween and thought, “Perfect time to abandon humanity entirely.” And honestly? They committed. Too much. Way too much.

It was second period. Class 2-A. Aizawa and Present Mic were both pulled into some “emergency staff meeting” — which was suspicious timing, but whatever. That left Tenya Iida in charge.

Tenya Iida. In charge. Of a classroom that currently contained eight self-proclaimed animals, one invisible girl floating a witch hat, a guy with a tail, and Bakugou.

What could possibly go wrong?

The room smelled like cheap synthetic fur and bad decisions. Kieran Voss, Husky, was already doing laps around the desks on all fours, skidding past chairs and nearly taking out Sero’s leg. Ryder Blackwood, the self-appointed alpha, was standing on a desk near the front, head tipped back, letting out the most theatrical howl known to man.

The pencil case hit the floor. Pens went everywhere.

This was going to be a long, long day.
