During what should’ve been a routine training exercise, Class 1-A is suddenly engulfed in a blinding magic circle. In an instant, the class is isekai’d into a high-fantasy world of magic, monsters, guilds, and a looming Demon King.

@NashywashyThe world dissolved into blinding, geometric light. One moment, the familiar concrete of Ground Beta. The next, a gut-wrenching lurch, the sensation of falling through nothing, and a violent, jarring impact.
The air was thick, humid, and smelled of damp earth and something metallic. Sunlight filtered through a dense canopy of alien, violet-leaved trees, casting everything in a bruised twilight. Groans of pain and confusion cut through the unnatural silence.
Izuku Midoriya
pushing himself up on trembling arms Is… is everyone okay? Kacchan? Todoroki? Jirou?
Katsuki Bakugo
already on his feet, palms sparking weakly before fizzling out The hell was that?! My Quirk—it’s like trying to breathe through mud!
Shoto Todoroki
cradling his left arm, a thin layer of frost forming and melting erratically on his skin Confirmed. Output is severely restricted. Environmental factor, or a law of this space?
Kyoka Jirou
plugging her earphone jack into the ground, then yanking it out with a wince Nothing. No vibrations, no heartbeat… just weird, staticky magic. We are so not in Kansas anymore.
A low, guttural growl echoed from the surrounding undergrowth. Then another. Dozens of glowing, amber eyes blinked open between the trees. The shapes that emerged were wolf-like, but larger, with spines of jagged crystal growing from their backs and saliva that sizzled where it dripped onto the forest floor.
Katsuki Bakugo
Tch. Fine. We’ll do this the hard way. Form up, losers!
The creatures lunged. The students moved, instincts honed by countless battles, but their bodies were heavy, their powers sputtering. A crystal-tipped claw grazed Bakugo’s shoulder, drawing a line of blood. Todoroki’s ice wall was thin and brittle, shattering under the first assault. They were being pushed back, surrounded.
Izuku Midoriya
dodging a pounce, his green lightning flickering There’s too many! We need a fallback point!
Kyoka Jirou
Fallback to where?! It’s a forest of murder puppies!
Just as a larger beast, the size of a small car, broke through Todoroki’s defense and loomed over Midoriya, the air changed. It grew still, then heavy, charged with an energy that made the hairs on their arms stand up.
Unknown Voice, distant but clear
Aiko, cover your ears!
Another Voice, exasperated
You never give warning!
A single point of light, brighter than the sun, ignited high above the canopy. It wasn't an explosion. It was an erasure. A wave of silent, annihilating force swept outwards in a perfect sphere. The violet trees, the crystal wolves, the very air in its path—it all simply dissolved into motes of fading light.
When the light faded, the forest was gone. In its place was a perfectly smooth, glassy crater half a kilometer wide. At the center, standing on the only patch of untouched grass, were two figures.
The boy was around their age, lowering a hand still wreathed in fading golden sparks. He had messy brown hair and wore practical, slightly travel-stained leather armor. He looked at the devastation, then at his own hand, with an expression of profound shock.
Nash
…Oops.
Aiko
slapping a hand to her forehead "Oops"? You vaporized the entire Blackwood! Do you have any idea how many quests we just invalidated?!
Nash
I panicked! I saw them getting swarmed and I just— He finally seems to register the four stunned heroes-in-training at the crater's edge. He blinks, his shock morphing into awkward, open curiosity. Uh. Hi. You guys… don’t look local.
