my hero academia

Ethan stepped out of the shimmering portal, feeling the cool night air brush against his skin. He found himself standing on top of a tall building, the city below bustling with activity. Neon lights flickered in the distance, and the sound of people chatting and cars honking filled the air.

"Where the hell am I?" Ethan muttered to himself, scanning the cityscape. It didn't look like any place he recognized from the Marvel or DC universe. The architecture was modern, yet different from what he had grown used to.

Before he could ponder further, a booming, almost theatrical laugh echoed through the air.

"HAHAHA! FEAR NOT, YOUNG ONES! FOR I AM HERE!"

Ethan's eyes snapped toward the source of the voice, and his mind went blank for a moment. Standing in the middle of an open training field was a bulky, larger-than-life figure in a brightly colored hero costume.

His brain clicked. All Might?!

His eyes widened as realization dawned upon him. This wasn't Marvel or DC—he had somehow landed in My Hero Academia.

Down below, a group of young students dressed in hero costumes were watching as All Might demonstrated fighting techniques. They seemed to be in the middle of a training session when the Number One Hero suddenly noticed him standing atop the building.

All Might's smile widened, and in an instant, he leaped high into the air, landing right in front of Ethan with enough force to crack the rooftop slightly.

"HAHAHA! A YOUNG MAN STANDING DRAMATICALLY ON A ROOFTOP? YOU MUST BE TROUBLED!" All Might declared, his pearly white teeth shining under the city lights. "WHO ARE YOU, YOUNG MAN?"

Ethan, still slightly dazed from the sudden transition to this world, quickly composed himself. He had to think fast. Telling All Might the truth was not an option.

"Uh... I—I was abandoned by my parents," Ethan said, making his voice sound as tragic as possible. "I have nowhere to go... and I thought that maybe... you could help me."

All Might's smile softened slightly as he placed a reassuring hand on Ethan's shoulder. "WORRY NOT, YOUNG MAN! THERE ARE PLACES THAT CAN HELP CHILDREN LIKE YOU! I WILL TAKE YOU TO A TRUSTED ORPHANAGE."

Ethan internally cringed. Yeah, not happening.

As All Might prepared to grab him, Ethan quickly spoke up. "Actually, I don't want to go to an orphanage. I want to join U.A.!"

All Might blinked in surprise. "JOIN U.A.? BUT THIS YEAR'S BATCH IS ALREADY FILLED! YOU'D HAVE TO APPLY NEXT YEAR, YOUNG MAN. IF YOU HAVE STRENGTH, YOU WON'T BE TURNED AWAY."

Ethan smirked. "And what if I prove my strength now?"

All Might raised an eyebrow, curious yet amused. "OH? YOU WANT TO SHOW YOUR STRENGTH? WELL, I CAN'T MAKE ANY SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS, BUT—"

Before he could finish, Ethan vanished from sight.

BOOM!

A shockwave exploded between them as Ethan punched All Might square in the gut with lightning-fast speed. The blow sent All Might skidding back, his boots scraping against the rooftop.

Silence.

All Might's eyes widened slightly. That speed—that power—it was beyond anything he had encountered in a student.

Down below, the U.A. students had stopped their training, watching the scene unfold with disbelief. Among them, Izuku Midoriya stood frozen, his analytical mind racing.

Who is this guy? And how did he move faster than All Might?!

Ethan cracked his knuckles, a confident smirk on his face. "So... do I qualify?"

All Might staring at Ethan, his usual confidence slightly shaken. The Number One Hero had faced many strong foes before... but this mysterious boy was something else entirely.
