[kill your blissful ignorance]

In a fearful huddle with other students, Rin once again stared at the swirling, gaping vortex that seemed to endlessly hand out new threats. For now, having the sense her fear wasn't simply out of cowardice but shared with other students comforted her, but the anxiety swelling within her chest was only growing. Her hands shook with worry, trying to think about what was going to happen next.

"Did they appear only here or all around the school?" Todoroki asked. "The sensors must not be responding, so they have someone with a Quirk who can do that. We are in an isolated area, away from the campus, when there was supposed to be a class. They may be fools, but they're not dumb. This was carefully planned."

Rin hadn't thought of that—so took a moment to breathe in and out and focus. She'd felt the unnatural warp in the air, courtesy of the sudden portal, now she knew waves suddenly ceased, going awol. The air rippled with a foreign feeling. A jamming signal.

"Aizawa-sensei?" she asked, slightly bemused as he put on his goggles. Taking on all of those at once would be possible for him? No way, not with only one quirk at a time, right? "There's a jamming signal, someone must have some sort of electric-related quirk, but they're not in the plaza, else I or Kaminari would probably know. They're well hidden."

"Start the evacuation, Thirteen," Aizawa said. "Contact the school when you can get through the jam."

Aizawa-sensei dashed into the mad mess while the students turned, running towards the exit. The black swirl from back at the plaza popped up in front of them, coming from a portal in the ground. The man—or the mist—stood tall in front of them, covering the entire exit doors.

"Yoroshiku," the man politely said with sinister ice. "We are the league of Villains. It may be rude, but we have invited ourselves in to the home of the heroes, U.A. High, in order to end All Might, the Symbol of Peace."

An awfully polite intruder.

"I believe All Might should have been here. Has there been a change in schedule?" the man asked. "Well, what is not here nor there is the part I am here to play."

Thirteen defensively stood in front of the students, clicking a cap off her fingers. But she froze, two students taking a jump at the man. Kirishima and Bakugo, of course the 'manly' duo just itching to battle.

Idiots! Don't get in the way of pros!

"How troublesome, I forgot you're all heroes in the making," the man said. Suddenly darkness outstretched to reach them all, and enveloped them in a sphere. "I shall scatter you."

Rin shielded her face, backing into someone before suddenly tripping into solid ground, no one behind her any longer. The air dried up immediately, the ground becoming pavement and the heat turned up. Her eyes looked up from her hood and her body ceased listening to her brain—Or, rather, her brain refused to issue instruction. How to breathe, how to walk, how to swallow.
