"Let the world forget your names. Let it remember what we become."
And somewhere far beyond the room, the world shifted—imperceptibly—like the soft breath before a storm.

[Teacher Observation Room]
The observation room was bathed in soft, clinical lighting, its walls lined with screens displaying footage from the recently concluded entrance exams. A long conference table stretched through the center of the room, cluttered with tablets, papers, and steaming cups of tea and coffee—evidence of hours spent analyzing student performance.
One by one, the teachers leaned in as the final rankings came into focus. A digital board blinked to life, highlighting the top ten performers, neatly divided between Villain Points and Rescue Points.
Top Ten Examinees:
1. Kayama Izuku – 60 Villain Points | 20 Rescue Points
2. Bakugo Katsuki – 77 Villain Points | 0 Rescue Points
3. Hizuru Kyo – 60 Villain Points | 15 Rescue Points
4. Uraraka Ochaco – 28 Villain Points | 45 Rescue Points
5. Kirishima Eijiro – 36 Villain Points | 32 Rescue Points
6. Kendo Itsuka – 40 Villain Points | 25 Rescue Points
7. Iida Tenya – 52 Villain Points | 9 Rescue Points
8. Aizawa Hitoshi – 20 Villain Points | 40 Rescue Points
9. Tokoyami Fumikage – 47 Villain Points | 10 Rescue Points
10. Awase Yosetsu – 50 Villain Points | 6 Rescue Points
A soft chuckle broke the focused silence.
"It seems like nine out of the top ten students are yours, Shota-san," Principal Nezu remarked, his tiny paws cradling a porcelain teacup as steam curled delicately into the air. His whiskers twitched in amusement, his bright eyes gleaming with mischief.
Across the table, Shota Aizawa groaned quietly. With an exaggerated thud, he let his head drop to the table, his messy black hair spilling over the screen in front of him.
The action drew a few stifled laughs from the other teachers present—Midnight, Present Mic, and Cementoss among them.
"I knew I should've called in sick today," Shota muttered, voice muffled by his arm.
His exasperation was half-hearted at best. Deep down, he was already mentally preparing seating charts and lesson plans—he knew exactly what kind of chaos this class was going to bring.
Nezu, still smiling, tilted his head. "All exceptional students, to be sure... but Kayama Izuku stands out in a curious way."
The room quieted slightly, a weight settling in the air.
