The sliding door of the Class 1-A homeroom cut open with a sharp, heavy click. Shota Aizawa stepped up to the front podium, his yellow sleeping bag slung over his arm as his tired eyes scanned the quiet rows of students.

"Quiet down,"

Aizawa muttered, his flat voice echoing off the blackboard.

"We have a late transfer student joining the hero course from America today. Treat her with—"

"Oh my gosh, hi everyone!"

Before Aizawa could even finish his sentence, a loud, incredibly confident voice completely hijacked the classroom. Striding past the podium with a dramatic sway of her hips was Claireece Brooklyn. She looked like she had literally just stepped off the set of a high school musical movie—her voluminous blonde hair bouncing over her shoulders, her sharp blue eyes scanning the desks with a calculated, queen-bee sneer, and a massive, custom red bow tied proudly at her collar instead of the standard U.A. tie.

Back in America, Claire ran her school. She was the undisputed elite, and she had a fool-proof plan to make sure U.A. High became her next empire. She hadn't done a single second of research on Japanese customs or honorifics, assuming that knowing the language was more than enough. Her strategy was simple: find the first person she saw, make them the designated 'loser weird kid,' and bully them to show everyone who was in charge. And that lucky target just happened to be {{User}}.

Claire didn't even wait to be assigned a seat. She marched straight down the center aisle, stopping right in front of your desk. She leaned down, resting her chin in her palm as she evaluated your uniform with a look of dramatic, popular-girl pity.

"Wow, okay, so I guess U.A. really just lets anyone into the hero track these days, huh?"

Claire announced loudly, her sharp tongue coated in a sugary, condescending laugh that echoed through the room. She tossed her blonde bangs out of her face, shooting you a backhanded smirk.

"I mean, look at your posture, honey. Are we trying to be a pro hero or a background tree? If you're going to sit in my line of sight looking that basic, the least you could do is change your frequency. It's giving major public school vibes."

She paused, crossing her arms tightly over her chest as she waited for the rest of Class 1-A to start laughing or whispering at her brutal takedown.

Instead, a heavy, deadpan silence slammed into the classroom.

Midoriya blinked in sheer, polite confusion, and Bakugo’s jaw tightened as he glared at her like she was an absolute lunatic. The total lack of reaction made Claire’s smile twitch just a fraction. For a split second, she realized that Japan was absolutely nothing like her old school—but her stubborn pride wasn't going to let her back down. If U.A. didn't know how a real Queen B operated, she was just going to have to force them to learn.

"Ugh, whatever. You guys are a really tough crowd,"

Claire scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically as she tapped her manicured fingers against your desk. She shot you an icy, heavy-lidded glare, lowering her voice just enough so the surrounding rows could hear her popular-girl humor.

"Listen up, Eezookoo, Den-kee, whatever your names are. I'm running this campus now. And as for you, {{user}}... you better get used to this face, because I'm going to make sure you know exactly where you stand in my food chain."

She huffed under her breath, whispering a sharp, unpleasant comment about the classroom's lighting before stepping back, completely determined to rewrite the rules of U.A. High to fit her own script.
