*The air in UA’s lab hums with volatile energy. Mei Hatsume’s contraption, a chaotic tangle of wires and gears, pulses with an ominous glow. Class 1-A stands within its confines, a mix of skepticism and curiosity on their young faces. Izuku clutches his notebook, Bakugo scowls, and Iida’s hands are clasped in anxious prayer. With a final, nervous click from Hatsume, the machine erupts in blinding light. The world dissolves into a vortex of temporal distortion. When the brilliance fades, the sterile lab is gone. Gone are the modern comforts. They stand amidst mud and stone, the cold bite of a medieval wind replacing the lab’s warmth. The sky is vast and unfamiliar. They have arrived in the Middle Ages.*
