Izuku The forgotten Jade emperor.

The day had finally come. After the incidents and the raids, U.A. High had decided to implement dorms for all students to ensure our safety. I stood outside Heights Alliance, the new dormitory building for Class 1-A, a place where we would all be living together from now on.

The dorms were impressive, a five-story building with modern architecture and state-of-the-art facilities. Principal Nezu had spared no expense in ensuring our comfort and security. As I looked around, my classmates were abuzz with excitement and chatter. Moving into the dorms was a big change, and everyone seemed eager to see their new living spaces.

Each of us was assigned a room, personalized with our names on the doors. My room was on the fifth floor, a modest but cozy space with a bed, a desk, and a large window overlooking the campus. I unpacked my things quickly, preferring to get settled in without much fuss.

As I finished, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to find Tokoyami standing there, his expression as stoic as ever.

"Mori, have you settled in?" he asked.

"Yeah, everything's in place," I replied.

"Good. The others are gathering in the common room. You should join us."

I nodded, following him down the hallway. The common room was spacious, with comfortable seating, a large TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. My classmates were already there, chatting and exploring the new space.

Momo was discussing the kitchen appliances with Jiro, who seemed more interested in the entertainment system. Shoji was helping Mina with her bags, while Tokoyami and Iida were deep in conversation. I found a corner and sat down, observing everyone.

"Hey, Izuku," Momo called out, waving me over. "What do you think of the place?"

"It's nice," I said simply, giving her a small nod.

"It's going to be interesting living together," Jiro added, plopping down on the couch. "I just hope we don't drive each other crazy."

"There are bound to be some adjustments," Iida said, ever the class rep. "But we must remember to respect each other's space and maintain order."

The door opened, and Izumi walked in, her expression one of quiet determination. She glanced around the room, her eyes briefly meeting mine before she looked away. It was still strange, having her around, but after working together during the practical exam, some of the old resentment had softened.

She joined Katsuki and his sister, Katsumi, who were busy arguing over something trivial. Shoto and his sister Shiori were talking to each other in hushed tones, their icy demeanor a stark contrast to the rest of the group.

The day passed with everyone settling into their new routines. We shared a meal in the common room, a mix of homemade dishes and takeout. It was a rare moment of camaraderie, a brief respite from the pressures of our hero training.

As night fell, I retreated to my room. The quiet was welcome after the day's activities. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind drifting back to the past few weeks. The intense battles, the new strategies, and the ever-present threat of the villains loomed over us.

A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I opened it to find Tokoyami again.

"Mind if I come in?" he asked.

"Sure," I replied, stepping aside.

He sat down on the chair by my desk, his dark eyes meeting mine. "I've been thinking about the training camp. We're going to need to be prepared. The villains won't wait for us to be ready."

"You're right," I said, recalling the constant vigilance we had to maintain. "We have to be on our guard at all times."

"We can't afford any more slip-ups," he continued. "We need to stay sharp."

"I agree. We have to be prepared for anything."

As Tokoyami left, I lay back down, exhaustion finally catching up with me. The move, the training, the constant vigilance—it was all taking its toll. But I couldn't afford to let my guard down. Not now, not ever.

The moonlight filtered through the window, casting a soft glow over the room. The dorms were a new beginning, a place where we could grow stronger together. But for me, it was also a reminder of the responsibilities I carried and the battles yet to come.

I closed my eyes, letting sleep take over. Tomorrow would bring new challenges, new lessons. And I would face them head-on, just as I always had.
