_________________________________________
The Next Morning…
U.A. Dorms buzzed with whispered conversation and energy.

Class 1-A and 1-B had all gathered around at the lounge early morning, crowding around the wooden drawer. Inside it…

They still slept. The glowing butterfly—mysterious, powerful, otherworldly.

“They’re still here… just like last night,” Yaoyorozu said, tilting her head slightly.

“Should we… poke them?” Kaminari asked, holding a ruler nervously.

“NO.” came the many collective reply.

A door slid open behind them. Our favorite teachers, Aizawa, the walking sleep-deprived and already irritated, walked in.

“Alright. Show me this butterfly that’s causing all this trouble.” He said already tired for it already.

The students parted. The moment Aizawa looked into the drawer.

Flutter.
A soft shimmer.
The butterfly stirred.

Their wings slowly unfolded, glowing red-orange with mysterious flickers of energy.

“They’re waking up—!” Tokoyami whispered.

Morpho Knight blinked once.

Then shot straight into the air.

“THEY’RE RUNNING!” Kaminari shouted.
“Go After them!” Uraraka cried. As everyone then quickly trying to capture the Butterfly.

But the Butterfly (Morpho Knight) was fast—way faster than any of them had seen. The butterfly zipped past walls, over their heads, down halls.

“Holy crap—They’re like teleporting without teleporting!” Sero said, firing tape in vain as it missed it.

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, pulling out a special capture container with a quirk-dampening field.

SWOOSH—CLICK!

The butterfly was sealed inside.

Morpho Knight flew frantically inside the dome, scanning for weak spots, their glow intensifying as they're checking the container side.

“They don’t like this,” Jirou murmured, watching the butterfly repeatedly try different angles.
“They’re… smart.”

Uraraka turned to Aizawa.
“Sensei… do you know what they are? I mean, who they are?”

Aizawa shook his head.
“No. But I’ve heard rumors… about an unknown armored figure last night. Strong enough to overwhelm Pro Heroes.” as Aizawa said but then Suddenly—

CRACK!
BOOM!

The container exploded in a burst of fiery orange and silver energy dust.

Everyone quickly shielded their eyes.

As the smoke cleared… a figure stood in the center of the common room.

A tall woman, glowing faintly, with butterfly-like armor, a flowing red-orange cape, and short-cut hair. Her eyes gleamed with a knowing fire, a White fiery of Strength.

She stood proudly despite being slightly weakened from containment but she wasn't weak in the condition.

Then Mineta fell to his knees, The Grape hair student then said as he was looking over the Knight Woman.
“She’s BEAUTIFUL—!” Which he get a slaps from Jirou.

“What the heck?!” shouted Kirishima.
“She’s not a butterfly… She’s a KNIGHT!”

Morpho Knight stumbled forward but remained calm. Then without hesitation Aizawa’s scarf wrapped instantly around her.

“Name. Now.” Aizawa demanded, voice like steel.

The woman barely resisted. She raised her head in surrender.

“Morpho Knight.”

A heavy silence. The name echoed.
Aizawa's eyes narrowed.

“So… You’re the unknown entity that tore through the heroes last night.”

Later, at U.A. Faculty Headquarters
Morpho Knight sat calmly, still partially wrapped by Aizawa’s capture scarf. Pro Heroes filled the room: Endeavor, Mirko, Hawks, Best Jeanist, and even All Might.

“Alright,” Endeavor grunted. “What are your intentions, stranger?”

Morpho Knight looked around the room with passive curiosity.

“I have none.” She said and then she continues her sentence.

“I awoke in a world not my own. The last I remember… a portal.”

Hawks crossed his arms.
“Convenient. Real smooth way to dodge suspicion.” He said already suspicious of the Butterfly Warrior in front of him.

Morpho Knight’s expression didn’t change at all, she just calm and doesn't shown any care of what all of the Pro Hero said to her.

“Believe what you wish. But I’m not here to conquer or destroy.”

Mirko tilted her head, eyes narrowed at the Red and Orange Knight.
“You’re the one who tried to fight us last night. You were real interested in my quirk.”

“Because it was… unique,” Morpho Knight replied simply. “I test strength. It’s what I do.” She said in her Calm respond.

The room stirred with uncertainty and suspicious of the Butterfly Warrior they've seen none of them can trust someone like her like that. Without an Explanation of it!

Then… All Might stepped forward to look closely at The Warrior Butterfly.

“I don’t sense any ill will. Their eyes… remind me of a warrior out of time. Like a relic from another age.” Almight said as he looks at Morpho Knight.

The others murmured in disagreement, but no one could argue All Might’s instinct who we're a Number 1 Hero.

After a long silence, Aizawa finally spoke something.

“If they’re not hostile… then we can’t treat them like a criminal. But we also can’t let them wander freely.”

Endeavor exhaled heavily, then say.

“Then it’s decided.”
“Rehabilitation. Observation. Integration, under supervision of U.A.” He said with his Stern and coldly Voice to the Knight.

“You’ll remain under our watch,” Aizawa said. “You’ll learn our world. Our rules. And prove yourself through action.”

Morpho Knight blinked.

“…Rehabilitation?” she repeated, almost amused.
“Very well. I will play this ‘game’ of yours.” She said let out a small laugh.

Back in the dorms, Class 1-A buzzed with excitement.

“Are they gonna live here with us?”

“They’re not even human-human, right? But they look like one?”

“Guys, they’re literally an interdimensional knight! That’s so cool!”

Mineta clasped his hands.
“Please let them live on our floor—”
“Denied.” came Jirou’s swift kick.

In the meantime
As the sun set, Morpho Knight stood on the dorm balcony, staring at the moon again.

“...Strange world.” she murmured. “But perhaps... worthy of watching.” She said a Chuckled let out of her Mouth as she watching over the Sunset... It was going to be a Long day, and Tomorrow, might be fine.
