Chapter 33 - CHAPTER 32 — PART 2 “Pamphlets, Power Theft, and One Very Angry Chihuahua”

POV: Shouta Aizawa

Aizawa watches the massive faceless man—no, entity—silence Bakugo without lifting a finger. He files this under:

"I don't get paid enough for this."

Then he hears footsteps approaching behind him.

Great.

Nezu arrives.

The tiny creature in a suit sips tea with the calm expression of a supercomputer deciding how best to dismantle the universe.

"Hmmmmmmmm," Nezu hums, staring up at the towering humanoid avatar."Fascinating. You appeared overnight. You displaced no soil. You produce no shadows. Your building's mass seems undetectable."He smiles politely."What, may I ask, are you?"

Alex turns his featureless head toward the mouse-principal and responds in a tone that is simultaneously calm, polite, and deeply unsettling:

"I am the Infinite Hotel."

Nezu's eyes brighten.

"Oh lovely. Another being with a title instead of a species."

Aizawa groans internally.

This is going to be awful.

⭐ PRESSENT MIC ARRIVES

(Unfortunately for everyone.)

He sprints in at full volume:

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT IS THIS THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII—"

Alex, without looking, mutes him.

Mic continues screaming.Silently.

The sound echoes inside the infinite halls of the building, creating a metaphysical reverb that everyone can still hear.

A chorus of faint, ghostly Mic-screams hums in the background.

Aizawa rubs his temples.

"…Please mute him again."

"He is muted," Alex answers.

"…Then un-mute him so I can mute him MY way."

"No."

⭐ ALL MIGHT MAKES HIS ENTRANCE (And instantly breaks every rule without trying.)

A golden flash erupts as All Might leaps into view.

"I AM HERE—"

Before he can finish the phrase:

His mere footstep shatters a tile

The shockwaves of his voice create a "violent" vibration

His posture alone counts as "combat readiness"

The hotel reacts instantly.

A swirling vortex of clean, marble-colored energy wraps around All Might's fist.

His quirk—One For All—drains out of him like liquid light.

All Might freezes.

A glowing bottle appears in Alex's hand.

Inside the bottle:A swirling golden flame labeled "One For All – Property of Toshinori Yagi."

Alex snaps a sticker onto it and places it casually on a floating shelf behind him.

"Rule 1: No violence or implied violence.Rule 2: No dangerous weapons.Rule 3: No accidental structural damage.You broke all three by breathing too aggressively."

All Might tries to speak.

Nothing comes out.

He tries again.

Alex waves a hand.

"Oh—your transformation won't wear off. You can keep that.But you can't use your Quirk.You'll get it back later."

All Might stares at his hands like an abandoned golden retriever.

"I… I… I have never felt so empty inside."

Aizawa stares at him.

"You better get used to it."

⭐ NEZU ASKS THE REAL QUESTIONS

Nezu steps forward, sipping his tea.

"I see. You enforce rules automatically. You can selectively disable Quirks. You can mute sound. You can alter biology.Now my questions…"

He produces a tiny notebook.

"1. Are you hostile?2. Are you invading?3. Are you aware of the metaphysical implications of existing outside local spacetime?4. Is your structure infinite, or merely extremely large?5. May I study you?6. May I stay in your establishment?7. Do you take credit cards?"

Alex raises a hand.

"One question at a time.Answers in order:

No.

No.

Yes.

Infinite.

Possibly.

Yes.

No."

Nezu nods with a satisfied smile.

"Ah. Delightful. Clarity."

Midoriya is having a panic attack of pure analytical joy.

⭐ ALEX HANDS OUT THE PAMPHLETS

Alex manifests:

25 pamphlets

All labeled:"So You've Entered an Extra-Dimensional Hospitality Entity: Guest Orientation Guide."

He hands one to Aizawa first.

Aizawa flips it open.

His eyes widen.

"…No. No no no. No. Why is the first chapter titled 'You Cannot Escape, But Don't Worry'? WHY is this necessary?"

Alex shrugs.

"It's a general guideline."

Uraraka flips hers open.

"Why is there a chapter called 'Please Don't Lick the Walls'?"

Alex:"It's a general guideline."

Midoriya reads his at hyperspeed.

"This says the building extends outside the local fabric of reality… the hallways bend in eleven spatial axes… time flow is condensed… THERE'S A TRAINING ROOM WITH CUSTOMIZED GRAVITY!? THERE'S A DINING HALL WITH INFINITE FOOD!? THERE'S—"

He passes out from excitement.

⭐ AND NOW… BAKUGO GETS HIS PUNISHMENT

Bakugo storms forward, screaming:

"GIVE ME BACK MY QUIRK YOU ABSOLUTE GIANT CINDERBLOCK FACED—"

He doesn't finish.

Alex snaps his fingers.

A puff of light.

A tiny, furious, screaming CHIHUAHUA with spiky blond fur appears where Bakugo once stood.

It stands there, trembling with rage.

"YOU LISTEN HERE YOU GIANT FREAK—PUT ME BACK—PUT ME BACK RIGHT NOW—DAMN IT—I'LL BITE YOUR ANKLES—I'M GONNA KILL—KILL—KILL—"

His voice is so high-pitched that students recoil like they're being attacked by a malfunctioning flute.

Aizawa stares.

"…This is the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Uraraka kneels down, cooing:

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Bakugo, you're adorable—"

The Chihuahua Bakugo tries to explode.

Nothing happens.

He shrieks.

"DON'T PET ME, ROUND-FACE! I'LL—I'LL—I'LL BLOW THIS WHOLE PLACE UP WHEN I GET BACK TO NORMAL—YOU HEAR ME—I'M STILL THE NUMBER ONE HERO—I'M STILL—HEY, STOP HOLDING ME LIKE A PUPPY—PUT ME DOWN!!!"

Iida is frozen in existential fear.

Midoriya wakes up, sees the Chihuahua:

"BA-Ba-Ba-Ba-Bakugo!? K-KACCHAN!?!?"

The Chihuahua barks aggressively.

⭐ ALEX SUMS UP THE SITUATION

Alex claps his hands, producing a booming, gentle sound.

"Alright, children.You broke my rules.You triggered my defenses.Now—pamphlets in hand—we can begin orientation."

Aizawa whispers:

"I hate everything about this."

Nezu whispers:

"I love everything about this."

All Might whispers:

"I… want my Quirk back…"

Chihuahua Bakugo whispers:

"PUT ME DOWN OR I'LL BITE—!!"

Alex points toward the door.

"Welcome to the Infinite Hotel.Try not to break anything else."
