JUST AN ASSASSIN •ʙʜɴᴀ x ᴀꜱꜱᴀꜱꜱɪɴ!ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ

Fire is supposed to be warm. Comforting.
People gather around it, drawn to its glow. But fire never comforted me.

It devours.
It scars.
It destroys.

It took everything.

I remember my twin brother's cries. Touya's hands pulling me up, telling me to run. I did. But I never really escaped-not when my veins still burn with cursed fire, not when my nightmares reek of smoke.

I don't live. I survive.
And survival means never being chained again.

When the order came to infiltrate his school, I almost laughed. An assassin among heroes? A wolf in a flock of lambs?

Fine. I'll play along.
I'll wear the uniform, sit through lectures, act like I belong.
And when the time comes, I'll finish the job.

Because fire doesn't comfort me.

It obeys me.

Once known as Todoroki Shiori, Akira now walks the line between student and assassin. Trained by the underworld, armed with hellfire, and carrying scars the public will never see, she's infamous for her blue flames-and something even darker.

Her new mission?
Infiltrate U.A. High. Assassinate her target. Disappear.

But nothing ever goes as planned.
Not when her estranged twin brother Shoto is watching her closely.
Not when Endeavor still breathes.
And not when emotions start interfering with orders.

An assassin in a school full of heroes?
Yeah. What could go wrong?
