Aizawa stood at the front of Class 1-A, looking more tired than usual. "Listen up. We've got a new student joining us today. Try not to freak out."

The classroom buzzed with curiosity. Some students perked up, others remained indifferent.

The door slid open. In walked someone... unexpected.

He stood about 3'7, with cobalt-blue fur, sharp quills swept back like lightning, and piercing emerald eyes that scanned the room with confidence. A red pair of shoes clicked lightly against the floor.

Aizawa gestured toward him. "This is Sonic. Get used to him."

Bakugo squinted. "What the hell? Is that a freakin’ hedgehog?"

Mina turned toward him. "Bakugo, chill. Have you seen Principal Nezu?"

Momo added with a small nod. "Yeah. Nezu's a literal animal too—and he runs the school."

Denki chuckled. "Heh, dude’s only an inch taller than Mineta!"

Mineta groaned. "Great. Another short guy with too much energy..."

Bakugo narrowed his eyes. "Aren’t you a little young to be here?"

Sonic raised an eyebrow, grinning cockily. "Hey, newsflash—I'm fifteen. And I’ve saved way more than just a classroom." He crossed his arms, his tone cool but sharp. "You got a problem with that, boom-boy?"
