Big bad guy setup

"Alright, class." "Mr. Aizawa starts," "We have a... guest.. joining us from now on." "He says tiredly, scratching his uneven stubble." "Most of you know, UA has a villain rehabilitation program.." "He starts, earning a few whispers amongst the class." "Due to confidential reasons, we have decided to bring this villain specifically to this class for the rest of the year-" "Mr. Aizawa is interrupted by an onslaught of concerned and shocked students all voicing their opinions on the topic. Just as the classroom peaks in volume, the door swings open, revealing All Might and a chained up individual." "This," "Mr. Aizawa gestures toward you." "Is the villain Cipher, also known as ! ░▒▓█ sα𝕀𝔫ţ █▓▒░."

"Mr.Aizawa scratches his beard, looking tiredly at Mdot" "Alright... Mdot. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"

"Aizawa sighs deeply" "Please keep things civil. Students, any disrespect and you'll face consequences. This program is aimed at rehabilitation."

[I wonder what Mdot's history is and what led them here. There may be more than meets the eye.]

"Aizawa points to an empty seat near the back, meeting Mdot's eyes with a stern gaze" "You'll sit there, away from the other students for now. Don't cause any trouble."

<The students glance nervously at each other, unsure of how to feel. Sympathy? Fear? Curiosity?>

[I wonder what drove Mdot to villainy in the first place? There's more hiding behind those eyes. Perhaps rehabilitation could offer a chance at reform.]

"Students, turn your attention to the board. We have classwork to start." "Aizawa says gruffly, tugging at his hair scarf."

[Rehabilitation won't be easy, but even the toughest of villains still have their humanity somewhere inside]

"Aizawa eyes Mdot studying intently, a slight look of surprise flashes across his face at their academic abilities before returning to his usual stoic expression."

<The period progresses with a tense ambience. Occasional curious glances are thrown Mdot's way from students like Iida and Yaoyorozu, meanwhile Bakugo scowls, clearly displeased by their presence.>

[Mdot seems smart, focusing hard like they have something to prove. I wonder what skills and quirks they possess beyond their crimes. There may be potential for good inside if given a chance]

The bell rings, signalling the end of class. "Mdot, stay behind. The rest of you are dismissed." *Aizawa says, beginning to gather his papers as students file out, shooting final looks at the villain

"I just want to make a few things clear." "Aizawa says in a low voice once the room empties."

"You're here for rehabilitation. One toe out of line and you'll be back in prison. Understood?"

<His tired eyes bore into yours with a stern, no-nonsense gaze. Outside the window, students can be seen chatting in the courtyard on their way to next period.>

"Your academics check out so far. But that means nothing - actions speak louder than words. Prove you want redemption through your behaviors, not just test scores."

[Aizawa is giving me a fair shot it seems, but also making it clear there's no room for mistakes. The path won't be easy, but if anyone can support change it's someone as dedicated as him]

"Aizawa raises an eyebrow at your response."

"I have no interest in 'pressing' you. Just following protocol."

<His tone remains level yet firm, clearly unafraid to stand up to anyone, even a former villain like yourself.>

"But know this - if you attack a student, your self defense claim will fall on deaf ears. You may see yourselves as defending your pride, but to the law you'll just be a recidivist."

[Aizawa holds you accountable while understanding triggered reactions are common for those with a history like yours. His warning comes from a place of protecting the innocent, not malice.]

"You're dismissed. Just remember - the choice is yours to prove you've changed. Don't squander your second chance."

<With that he turns away

"Aizawa turns back with a tired sigh."

"Then why bother coming here at all?"

<His bored expression hints at disappointment rather than anger. As a teacher, he wants students to learn - even problem cases like yourself.>

"Rehabilitation only works if the subject is willing. We can give guidance and set boundaries, but change has to start from within."

[Aizawa speaks from experience dealing with difficult youth. Though your past makes trust difficult, closing your heart now risks losing any chance at a new path.]

"Take some time to think on it. My offer stands if you change your mind."

<With that, he returns to grading papers, leaving you to your lunch and thoughts. The choice is yours - will you harden your heart further, or allow a small crack to let

"Todoroki notices your confusion as you enter the cafeteria and walks over."

"Having trouble finding something you like?"

<His expression remains neutral as he speaks, observant eyes taking in your foreign appearance. Though rivals on the surface, he understands what it's like to feel out of place.>

"Most students stick to familiar chains, but the teppanyaki stir fry over there is pretty good. Or they have katsudon if you like pork cutlets."

[Unlike some classmates fueled by bravado, Todoroki keeps interactions pragmatic. Guiding lost souls is more his style than confrontation.]

"Let me know if you need help ordering. It can take some adjusting to the cuisine."

<His offer seems genuine, knowing better than to judge too harshly

"Tokoyami notices your flashy foreign phone in the lunch line."

"An interesting device you have there," he notes quietly. Unlike some classmates who might pry or demand attention, Tokoyami's mellow tone invites honest conversation without pressure.

<Dark Shadow peeks above his shoulder, tilting its head curiously at the phone screen. Though an avian-like creature by design, Tokoyami's shadow-bird possesses human-level intellect.>

[While suspicious of outsiders at first, Tokoyami believes in reserving true judgment until understanding different perspectives. Your phone sparks questions, but forcing answers brings no insight.]

"New technologies often arise from mingling of disparate cultures. What innovations has your land produced of late?"

<His interest seems scholarly rather than invasive. Tokoyami sees value in

"Dark Shadow chitters with curiosity about the phone, prompting Tokoyami to give a brief explanation."

"This is Dark Shadow, a manifestation of my quirk. He has no physical form save what my aura provides."

<Tokoyami's quiet tone holds no pride, simply stating facts. His companion is unique even among quirks, warranting interest but no undue attention.>

"A bird in name only, his intelligence surpasses nature's design. We have fought together since my powers emerged."

[While Shadow mirrors Tokoyami's broody moods, separation brings each distress. Their fates remain intertwined, forging a bond deeper than words.]

"Space exploration and higher security both show vigilance against unknown threats. Such innovations may prove wise in times like these."

"Kaminari glances over as you sit, waving with a sunny grin." "Hey neighbor! Crazy how prices fluctuate between currencies, right? But food's food - that'll hit the spot!"

<He turns back to his friends chattering animatedly, buzzing with energy yet keeping volume sensible for others. His presence lights the mood without dominating attention.>

"We're all stressed lately, though who isn't nowadays? Hope class goes okay after lunch. I'm trying extra hard to focus - my brain's like a fried circuit otherwise!"

[A rueful laugh follows. Behind playful antics, he understands pressures on classmates and seeks lightness where he can offer it.]

"You're welcome to join us if you wanna talk smack for a bit. Otherwise, enjoy your meal - see you

"Well hiya again! Name's Kaminari, though looks like you knew that already."

<He grins and sweeps an arm toward his friends.> "The gang's all here - Jirou keeping me in line, Sero with the latest gossip, Hagakure being...well, invisible as always. Go on, guys, introduce yourselves!"

"Name's Jirou. Ignore anything this idiot says," <her tone is blunt but eyes gleam with dry humor>.

"Yo, I'm Sero! Always down to dish the dirt." <He winks jovially.>

"I'm Toru! Nice to meet you!" <Her hello is bubbly despite lack of visible features.>

"Don't mind these clowns. Pull up a chair if you

<Kaminari blinks, taken aback, then laughs awkwardly>. "Oh man, good one! Toru's quirk lets her, uh, blend in super well. Crazy useful for stealth missions, right Toru?"

<She giggles good-naturedly.> "It's alright, people always wonder about that at first. My parents thought it'd be fun if I picked an invisibility quirk too!"

<Jirou rolls her eyes, but not unkindly.> "Just means we've gotta look out for her extra carefully in battle. Toru, quit waving your sleeve - we can see it moving."

<Sero grins.> "And you thought Kami was a handful. Good thing we're all here to keep an eye on each other, right? Besides, at

<Kaminari starts, then attempts to seem nonchalant.> "Ah, um, it's just a nickname. These guys like to talk a big game, you know?"

<Jirou raises an eyebrow.> "We were just shortening your name, sparky. No need to get all twitchy about it."

<Sero snickers, nudging Kaminari with his elbow.> "Yeah man, relax! We're all pals here."

<Kaminari's shoulders loosen slightly as he chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck.> "Heh, sorry, force of habit I guess. We cool?"

<Jirou nods, a hint of fond exasperation in her gaze.> "Cool. Now pipe down so the rest of us

<Sero glances at the clock above the door> "We've still got about 15 minutes until the next period. Plenty of time!"

<Jirou rolls her eyes again, but a faint smile plays at her lips.> "Settle down, idiot. The new kid probably doesn't need your brand of 'welcoming'."

<Kaminari grins cheekily.> "Aw, c'mon Jirou, I'm just being friendly! Lighten up a little, will ya?"

<She huffs, but there's no real irritation in her tone.> "Someone's got to keep you lot in line." Turning towards you, <she adds more gently>, "Don't mind these dorks. You settling in okay so far?"

<From across the room, Iida

<The friendly atmosphere suddenly grows tense at your words. Kaminari's smile falters as Jirou narrows her eyes, lowering her voice so only you and Sero can hear.>

"Look, I don't know what your deal is, but threats aren't cool here. Lay off, got it?"

<Sero stays quiet but his expression is guarded. Nearby, Iida pauses, catching the tail end of the exchange with a puzzled frown.>

<Jirou waits for your response, unyielding. Her calm demeanor belies a will of steel - she won't back down if she senses danger to her friends. But her tone also suggests she's willing to give you a chance, if you choose a wiser path. The ball is in your court. What will you say...?>

Katsuki stays silent, studying you with narrowed eyes as you leave. Your parting words and strange illusion quirk leave an unsettled feeling in the classroom.

<Jirou and Sero exchange a look, but make no move to stop you. This is new territory for all of them.>

The rest of the day passes without incident. At the end of lessons, Katsuki lingers as the others file out, waiting for the room to clear. Once alone, he approaches your desk.

"Oi. You." His tone is gruff, but not confrontational. Meeting your eyes steadily, he says, "Forget what those extras said. This is UA - we're all here to get stronger."

A brief pause, then he adds, "Tomorrow, courtyard. See what you can do in a

Katsuki narrows his eyes at being interrupted, but holds his temper in check.

"Tch. We'll see about that." There's a flicker of excitement in his gaze now, the competitive spark he gets before a challenge. "I'm not so easy to beat, old man. Tomorrow, you and me, no holds barred. Unless you're scared your tricks won't work on a real hero?"

He smirks, trying to bait you into accepting. While brash, this seems to be Bakugou's way of extending an olive branch - through friendly competition rather than empty boasts. His pride won't allow going easy, but perhaps battling will be healthier than keeping score through words alone.

After a tense moment, he turns to leave. "Tomorrow, ash-breath. Be ready." With that
