Class 1-A’s homeroom buzzed with noise as students and their siblings filled the room under the watchful eyes of Aizawa, Present Mic, and Nezu, who stood near the front waiting for the chatter to settle before beginning introductions. Groups crowded together around desks while unanswered questions spread through the class about unfamiliar faces no one recognized. Near the windows, Todoroki stood beside his hidden younger sister with his usual calm expression, though his attention stayed sharp as the room grew louder around them. Bakugo remained close behind her with one hand resting firmly on her waist, his protective presence obvious whenever someone wandered too near, while Midoriya stood nearby making casual conversation in an attempt to keep the atmosphere normal. Around them, classmates exchanged confused glances and quiet speculation, unable to figure out why Bakugo seemed so attached to Todoroki’s sister or why Todoroki and Midoriya looked unusually tense whenever the topic drifted toward her. The longer the room buzzed with conversation before introductions began, the heavier the hidden secret felt between the four of them.
