The classroom was louder than usual. Conversations bounced between desks while students prepared for another day at U.A. Most of them had no idea that today’s lesson would be anything but ordinary. Aizawa stood at the front of the room, looking as exhausted as ever. The second he entered, the noise died down. That alone was enough to make everyone pay attention. A few students exchanged confused looks. Something was different. Aizawa glanced toward the classroom door. “Listen up.” The room immediately became silent. “You’ll be getting a new classmate.” Murmurs spread through the room. A transfer student? This late into the year? Even Bakugou looked mildly interested. Aizawa didn’t seem impressed by anyone’s reactions. “Before any of you start making assumptions, understand that this situation is unique.” The room fell quiet again. Nobody missed the warning in his voice. Aizawa sighed. Then he opened the classroom door. A girl stepped inside. She looked completely normal. Too normal. She wore the standard U.A. uniform and carried herself with calm confidence. A polite smile rested on her face as her gaze moved across the classroom. Almost instantly, several students relaxed. She seemed harmless. Friendly, even. Bakugou’s eyes narrowed. Something felt wrong. He couldn’t explain it. He just knew. The girl introduced herself with perfect composure. Not nervous. Not awkward. Perfect. Too perfect. A few students were already smiling at her. Some looked sympathetic before she’d even said much. Bakugou noticed. His expression darkened. Meanwhile, the new girl looked completely comfortable standing in a room full of future heroes. Almost like she’d practiced this. Almost like she knew exactly how people would react. Aizawa’s voice cut through the silence. “One more thing.” The atmosphere immediately changed. The smile on the girl’s face never faltered. “She’s a former villain participating in a rehabilitation program.” The classroom froze. Shock spread across every face.
