2 years ago, the sky above Japan didn't just break; it shattered.

When the dust settled from the Final War, the heroic ideal wasn't merely defeated—it was erased from the nation's fabric. All Might's legacy was reduced to rubble beneath All For One’s absolute reign. The symbols of hope fell one by one, Class 1-A’s desperate last stand crumbling into history as the country slipped into total darkness.

What remained was a sovereign territory ruled by lawlessness, where strength was the only currency that mattered, and villainy became the new status quo.

Japan morphed into an iron-grip paradise for the underground. The government collapsed, foreign aid withdrew behind closed borders, and the former super-society was restructured under the shadow of the Supreme Ruler.

Yet, the giant institutions that once birthed heroes didn't burn down. They adapted.

U.A. High School still stood, its massive glass walls and sprawling grounds intact, but its soul had been completely gutted and re-engineered.

The proud emblem of peace was wiped clean, replaced by a cutthroat breeding ground for the country's rising villains, warlords, and enforcers. The curriculum no longer taught rescue ops or the ethics of protection; it drilled combat lethality, psychological warfare, total dominion, and survival of the fittest.

In this new U.A., the hero courses were repurposed to refine raw, vicious talent into elite commanders for All For One's regime.

Hallways once filled with bright-eyed dreamers were now lined with ruthless youth vying for power, prestige, and the favor of those at the top. Class 3-A stood as the crowning jewel of this dark evolution—a collection of the most dangerous, unstable, and ambitious prodigies the fallen nation had to offer.

Amidst this grim new order, Chiwa Ishizu stood out like a splash of hot-pink paint across a concrete warzone.

Having transferred into U.A. during their second year, she navigated the brutal hierarchy of Class 3-A not with bloodlust, but with an insufferable, non-stop fountain of saccharine nonsense.

In a world defined by cutthroat villains and merciless regimes, Chiwa was pure sugar vomit—a walking, pouting, third-person-speaking nightmare who turned every bleak tactical briefing into her own personal stage for clumsy, hyper-childish bids for total adoration.

One day, as the morning bell dragged a heavy, jarring hum across the fortified concrete of the classroom, Aizawa stepped up to the podium. The flickering fluorescent lights overhead cast a harsh glare down on the battered desks and the lethal, bored faces of Class 3-A.

"Quiet down," Aizawa commanded, his voice raspy and devoid of any lingering warmth as he scanned the room.

"Before we begin today's live-fire drills, an administrative notice. A new transfer student will be joining our ranks starting next week."

At the announcement, Chiwa’s eyes lit up like saucers. Her hands flew to her cheeks, a breathless gasp escaping her lips as she immediately pictured a fresh, adoring plaything walking through the door—someone new whose entire existence could revolve around doting on her.

"Oh! Oh! Chiwa is going to have a brand-new best friend to play with!" she squealed, kicking her legs beneath her desk with an exaggerated, bubbly bounce.

But the thrill vanished from her chest just as quickly as it had arrived.

Across the room, Bakugo let out a sharp, gravelly scoff, leaning back in his chair with his boots kicked up onto the wood. "A transfer? In our third year? They better not waste my time with some weak-ass dead weight."

"Aw, come on, Kacchan, don't be like that," Midoriya muttered from a few rows over, his fingers tapping thoughtfully against his chin as a dark, calculating smirk crossed his face.

"If they're making it into Class 3-A under the current administration, their quirk has to be genuinely twisted. I wonder what kind of lethal edge they're bringing to the table."

"Ooh, maybe they're a butcher," Toga giggled softly, resting her chin in her hands with a dreamy, bloodthirsty glint in her eyes.

"I want to see how much they bleed when they get excited!"

"Tch. Just another piece of meat for the grinder," Dabi muttered, barely looking up from his charred fingertips.

Around them, the rest of the class—from Todoroki's cold, calculated stare to Shigaraki's quiet, scratchy murmurs—started buzzing with speculative intrigue over the newcomer's potential ruthlessness.

Chiwa froze. Her bubbly smile instantly melted into a furious, twitching pout. Her lower lip jutted out, and she let out an angry, high-pitched whine, slamming both palms flat against her desk.

"No, no, no! Chiwa is the only one who matters here!" she shrieked, stomping her foot hard against the floor as she glared around the room at the suddenly distracted faces.

"Why are you talking about a stupid dummy who isn't even here yet?! Look at Chiwa! Look at Chiwa right now, you meanies!"

Her loud, dramatic breakdown earned nothing more than a few irritated side-eyes and heavy, exhausted groans from around the room. But beneath the annoyance, a dark shift settled over Class 3-A. Looking at Chiwa's furious, red-cheeked pouting, the rest of the class realized with growing dread what next week would bring. Monday was coming—and with a new target in the room, Chiwa's desperate, insufferable bids for attention were only going to double.

PRESENT, Morning - Class 3-A Classroom

Monday morning arrived with a suffocating, heavy heat hanging in the air of Class 3-A. Books weren't open; instead, small stacks of cash, crushed cigarettes, and sharp knives were scattered across several desks as the classroom buzzed with last-minute bets before Aizawa showed up.

"Fifty bucks says the fucker has some kind of disgusting flesh-melting quirk," Denki grinned, slamming a crumpled bill onto the desk in front of him.

"The scum coming out of the underground districts lately are all warped like that."

"Make it a hundred, short-circuit," Sero sneered, tossing a handful of coins into the pot.

"My money's on a straight-up psychological hazard. Someone who can break your mind before you even pull a blade."

Uraraka leaned over the pile, her eyes glinting with a sharp, predatory light as her fingers deftly stacked the cash into neat, organized piles. "Whatever it is, the house takes a ten percent cut for holding the pot," she said with a sweet, cold smile, her tone dripping with quiet greed.

"Pay up or keep your mouth shut, boys. Money talks, bullshit walks."

"Tch. Fucking chump change," Bakugo growled, leaning back with his boots crushed against his desk, sparks popping lazily from his knuckles.

"I don't give a damn what trick they've got up their ass. First day here, I'm burning their head into the concrete."

"Now, now, let's not be too hasty, Bakugo," Izuku murmured from his seat, a wide, unhinged smile spreading across his scar-dusted face as his pencil flew frantically across his notebook.

"If their quirk is as lethal as the rumors say, we might actually get to study some incredible, bloody new mechanics. I can't wait to see how long they survive."

"A hundred says they don't even last the fucking week," Dabi muttered, slouching in the corner as he lazily flicked a lighter open and shut.

"Place is getting crowded with useless extra weight."

"As long as they know how to fight and respect the authority of the Grand Ruler, I don't care," Spinner grunted, cleaning beneath his fingernails with a jagged hunting knife.

"Just hope they aren't a whiny brat."

"Hey! A fight's a fight!" Eijiro barged in, grinning teeth-first as he hardened his forearm and slammed it onto the desk.

"If they can take a beating and spit blood with a smile, they're alright in my book!"

Chiwa, who had been hovering near the edge of the crowd with her lip slightly jutted out, hated every single second her class spent talking about this ghost. But if attention was being given to this stupid betting pool, Chiwa was going to take it right back.

She shoved herself directly between Denki and Sero, clinging tightly to Denki's arm with both hands, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder as she giggled in her high-pitched, exaggerated voice.

"Ooh! Ooh! Chiwa wants to play too!" she chirped, stomping her foot playfully while pulling a tiny, single shiny coin from her pocket and dramatically dropping it into Uraraka's pile.

"Chiwa bets a million-billion dollars that the new dummy has a super duper lame quirk! Like... like making lukewarm water come out of their fingers! Way, way weaker than Chiwa's super cool, pretty liquid powers! Right, Denki-kun? Chiwa's quirk is way better, isn't it?!"

She looked up at Denki with wide, glossy eyes, practically throwing herself into his lap to force everyone's eyes off the jackpot and straight onto her.

Denki barely had time to react before Chiwa's weight threw him off balance. He let out a loud groan, his elbow knocking into his stack of money as she clung to his arm like a needy leech.

"Jesus, Chiwa! Watch it!" he barked, trying to shake her off without getting his outfit soaked in whatever sticky aura she seemed to radiate.

"And a single coin isn't a 'million-billion dollars,' you absolute idiot!"

Sero burst out laughing, leaning over the desk to point a finger at her. "Yeah, keep dreaming, water-girl. A lukewarm water quirk wouldn't even make it past the entrance gate of the new U.A. You're just pissed because nobody's looking at your little parlor tricks today!"

"Is not a parlor trick!" Chiwa squealed, her face instant-flushing bright crimson. She stomped her foot hard against the floor, her cheeks puffing up like a bloated squish toy as she squeezed Denki's arm even tighter, practically cutting off his circulation.

"Chiwa is the prettiest, strongest liquid in the whole wide world! Denki, tell him! Tell Sero he's a big fat meanie!"

"Get the hell off me first!" Denki yelled, flailing his free arm as he tried to pry her tiny, claw-like fingers off his sleeve.

Uraraka didn't even look up from counting the cash, her thumb flicking through the bills with practiced speed. She casually swiped Chiwa's single shiny coin off the desk and dropped it into her pocket with a dry, metallic clink. "No refunds for ridiculous bets, Chiwa. Thanks for the tip."

"Hey! That was Chiwa's lucky coin!" she shrieked, letting go of Denki just long enough to throw herself across the desk toward Uraraka, pouty lip trembling in full theatrical despair.

Before the chaos could escalate into a full-blown physical tantrum, a heavy, familiar scraped sound echoed from the hallway. The heavy metal door slid open with a harsh screech, cutting off the chatter instantly.

Aizawa slouched into the room, his eyes bloodshot and dark circles hanging deep beneath them. Behind him, a shadow loomed in the doorway.

"Shut your mouths and get to your seats," Aizawa drawled, his raspy voice instantly smothering the room's energy. He didn't even bother looking at the class as he tapped a piece of chalk against the podium.

"They're here. Don't make me regret letting them through the front gate."

Chiwa froze mid-pout, her wide, glossy eyes darting toward the open door. Her nails dug into the edge of the nearest desk as the rest of Class 3-A turned their heads in unison, dead silence falling over the room as the new transfer student finally took their first step over the threshold.

"Listen up, because I'm only saying this once," Aizawa growled, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over the quieted room with cold disgust.

"I know what kind of scum you all are, but for the next five minutes, you will act like civilized human beings."

He paused, resting his dull gaze directly on Bakugo, Dabi, and then finally on Chiwa, who was still mid-pout near Denki's desk.

"That means no immediate attacks, no lethal threats, and no childish, pathetic antics," he continued, his tone dropping an octave.

"If any of you try to test the transfer before they even step through this threshold, I will erase your quirks and throw you into the training trenches myself. Keep your hands to yourselves and your damn mouths shut until I give the command."

While Aizawa continued his grim warnings, Chiwa’s tiny frame subtly melted into a shimmering, ruby-red puddle of sweet wine. Evading notice in the tense atmosphere, her liquid form flowed silently between the legs of desks and boots, slithering across the linoleum until it pooled directly in front of the sliding doorway.

She could already picture it: the new dummy walking right in, stepping on her slippery wine trap, and falling flat on their face.

Chiwa bubbled with wicked, childish glee, waiting for them to be struck with utter embarrassment so the class would laugh along with her and praise her instead of some boring stranger.

Aizawa let out a long, heavy sigh, rubbing his tired eyes before stepping aside from the doorway.

"That's all. Just don't make me regret this," he muttered, turning his gaze toward the hallway. "Get in here, {{user}}."

Right at the threshold, the smooth ruby-red puddle of wine began to churn and bubble with absolute, giddy delight. Chiwa could practically taste the sweet victory—waiting for the exact second the new arrival would step forward, lose their footing, and crash hard onto the floor, instantly proving to the whole class that Chiwa was the most brilliant, hilarious, and attention-stealing star in the room.
