A/N: Storyline starts after licensure exam (chapter 120-ish), but there aren't much spoilers if you haven't read the manga yet.

You couldn't remember anything.

Well, that was partly a lie. It wasn't like amnesia when you can't even remember your own name. It was the type of situation when you wake up in a place that you've never been to before, not knowing what happened.

You sat up and realized that you've been laying on a hospital bed in what seemed like a small clinic. A single cable was attached to your finger, which tracked your heartbeat and showed it through a monitor beside you. Finding out that you still had a pulse made you more terrified than relieved.

"I need to get out of here," you said to yourself. But before you could do just that, the door opened and a small figure entered.

"Hello there!" the creature said. It was less than half your height, and it didn't look human. "It is I, the guy that you can't make out if he's a bear, a mouse, or a dog: the proud principal of UA!"

He seemed to be enthusiastic for some odd reason, but you were still too confused to care about that.

"Where am I?" you asked.

"Why, you're in the clinic of my school," he said. "We found you unconscious inside the gates, and we were all wondering how you got in without triggering an alarm. Don't you remember any of that?"

You shook your head. Your memories were too blurry to make anything out. "Am I dead?"

"Ah, about that..." he took out a folder and handed it to you. "That's a matter we needed to discuss, as well as a proposition I have for you."

You opened the folder, and the first thing you saw was your mugshot on the upper right corner of the paper. "You are _," said the bear-mouse, referring to your real name. "Many people knew you as Malefica, one of the most powerful villains that ever existed today."

You continued reading the page, which also contained your basic information, such as birthday, age, blood type, and the like. Meanwhile, the principal explained the crimes you were guilty of, as if you didn't know (or cared) about it already.

However, there were two words that caught your attention the most.

Status: Dead

"The police listed you down as deceased," he said, reading the surprise in your face. "It wasn't easy to fake, too. Your death was broadcasted all over Japan, and there would be a huge media outbreak if they find out that you're still alive."

"But how... I... I don't understand." Confusion filled your head. The memory quickly resurfaced, how you were helplessly dying on the cold concrete. You could never forget the pain you've felt that day. You were unable to move because of the injuries you've sustained. You felt your own heartbeat slowing down as you started to lose consciousness.

You were clearly dead. Was it all just a dream?

Objects started floating aimlessly around the room, a result of your quirk when your emotions got carried away. The principal kept calm about the situation, and even went to prepare some tea. "Where's the teaspoon I placed here?"

You closed your eyes and exhaled. "Sorry, I didn't realize that I made it float." You calmed yourself down, gulping up your emotions, and made the flying spoon fall directly into the principal's paw.

Your quirk, Invisible Telekinesis, was pretty much how it sounded like. You can make any solid object float and willingly control it in mid-air. However, it will remain invisible until you release it, making your quirk useful for stealing or sneak attacks.

"You could've made a fine hero with that quirk." There was a short pause, and he turned to face you. "Which is why I'm offering you to teach at my school!"

There was a moment of awkward silence after that, and you blinked your eyes in confusion.

You almost laughed about the idea, but the principal seemed serious about it. "I am a villain capable of killing you if I wanted to," you scoffed. "And yet you want me to teach in your stupid school for heroes? Are you serious?"

The principal looked offended, but he still smiled at you. "I know it's a crazy idea, but your skills and experience as a villain would be useful in teaching students about the philosophy behind evil. I've already had a meeting with the teachers, and they all agreed that you teach Class 1-A. They've had a lot of encounters with the villains lately."

"What's in it for me?" Your voice was low, clearly uninterested in his proposal.

"Well, if you say no, then we'll have no choice but to lock you up," he explained. "You are still a villain, after all. And since letting you out of the school would ruin our reputation, we will simply make a prison for you in here."

You grunted. It looked more like blackmail than a fair offer. "So whichever I choose, I still won't be allowed to leave this school?"

"Precisely! So what's your decision, Malefica?"

You were still not convinced about this, but it wasn't like you had any other option. "Fine. I'll teach those pesky little students."

The principal looked delighted. "Great! You won't regret it, the students in that class are exemplary."

"Whatever." You shrugged him off. It didn't matter what the students were, you just wanted it to be over.

The principal smirked. "Besides, I'm sure that you'll get along with their homeroom teacher pretty well."
