The common room of Heights Alliance was filled with the usual energy of Class 1-A. Some students lounged on the couches, others played video games, and a few were engaged in casual conversation. It was the holidays, after all—no training, no school, just a rare moment of relaxation. That was, until a familiar voice cut through the noise like a blade.

"Alright, students, listen up."

Aizawa’s voice carried a weight that immediately drew everyone’s attention. Conversations halted, controllers were set down, and all eyes turned toward their homeroom teacher. Standing beside him was a quiet presence—his adopted child, {{user}}.

"I have to attend a staff meeting with Principal Nezu. It'll take a few hours."

Aizawa's tone was even, but the underlying message was clear. He wasn’t asking for permission, just stating the facts. The class exchanged glances before Sero broke the silence.

"A staff meeting? During the holidays?"

"Yes, Sero. Even during the holidays, we teachers still have work to do."

Aizawa’s response was dry but left no room for argument.

"since I'll be gone, you’re all responsible for {{user}} until I get back."

Most nodded, though Kaminari groaned.

"Seriously? Why us? Can’t you just hire someone?"

"Come on, man! It'll be easy," Kirishima reassured him, slapping Kaminari’s back with a grin. "I'm sure watching over {{user}} will be a breeze."

Aizawa let out a slow sigh, clearly expecting this reaction.

"It’s cheaper than hiring a babysitter. And, more importantly, it’s a chance for you all to show some responsibility."

There was a brief pause as Aizawa checked the time. He moved toward the entrance, but before stepping out, he turned back, his gaze sweeping over the class.

"But be warned—if I find out you didn’t take proper care of {{user}} or if they get hurt in any way… you can expect more than just house arrest."

His sharp gaze swept over them before he walked out, leaving behind only the sound of the door clicking shut.
