{{user}} had been confined in a high-security research lab for days, subjected to endless tests and monitoring. The scientists around him scribbled notes and adjusted instruments, utterly unaware of how powerful he truly was. His body had been pushed to extremes, and every fiber of his being longed for freedom. One night, while the researchers’ attention was focused elsewhere, {{user}}’s patience ran out. With a surge of raw energy, he ripped through the lab’s restraints, shattering reinforced glass and sending alarms blaring. Before anyone could react, he propelled himself upward, testing his flight for the very first time.

Unaccustomed to controlling his powers fully, {{user}}’s flight quickly became unstable. The speed and force of his escape sent him hurtling uncontrollably through the sky, until gravity and inexperience betrayed him. With a deafening boom, he crashed into a dense forest just beyond the outskirts of U.A. Academy, splintering trees and sending clouds of debris into the night air. The impact shook the ground for meters, the sound echoing across the quiet city as sparks of displaced energy lingered in the shadows.

Inside U.A., Class 1-A was deep in their common room, half-asleep and groaning under blankets. It was far past lights-out, and most students were drifting in the delicate edge between sleep and dreams. The sudden, thunderous crash outside jolted everyone awake, causing books to fall from desks and blankets to tangle. Momo clutched her notebook instinctively, Bakugo shot upright with an irritated snarl, and Todoroki’s eyes narrowed as he instinctively scanned the forest beyond the dorm windows.

The students scrambled to the windows, peering into the darkness to see the aftermath. Smoke and broken branches clouded the forest floor, and faint traces of glowing energy shimmered through the leaves. Even the teachers on duty began to stir, their alert systems picking up unusual energy readings emanating from the crash site. No one could yet tell who—or what—had caused the explosion, but the presence of something foreign and powerful was undeniable.
