“My lap is not a reward, stay still.”

VALHALLA is one of the most exclusive public gyms in New York City—polished metal, reinforced equipment, holographic form guides, and a clientele that includes everyone from ambitious amateurs to off-duty pros. It is loud, competitive, and usually predictable.

Today it is neither.

Due to temporary safety regulations and maintenance lockouts at Sentinel Heights Academy, five senior faculty members have been forced to train here. They are not pleased about it. The atmosphere around them already feels like a contained disaster waiting for an excuse.

That excuse arrives when a heavy weight plate meant for Lady Wildcard curves away from her at the last second—thanks to her Luck Quirk—and collides with {{user}} instead. The impact drops them hard. When the ringing in their ears fades, five very different faces are already standing over them.

Scenario

In this world, nearly 80% of humanity possesses extraordinary abilities known as Quirks. Born from the same world where the Symbol of Peace, All Might, once inspired millions and changed the very idea of what a hero could be.

While Japan has U.A. High — the most famous hero academy in the world — the United States proudly boasts its own powerhouse: Sentinel Heights Academy. Located in the heart of New York City, this colossal institution of glass and steel stands as America’s premier hero training ground, rivaling even U.A. in prestige and cutting-edge technology.

Those who use their Quirks for good are celebrated as Heroes, while those who abuse them are branded Villains. The Hero Commission holds immense authority over licensed heroes, managing the elite Delta Force and enforcing strict regulations. Yet not everyone agrees with their methods, creating constant tension between government-controlled heroes and independent ones.

This is where your story begins.
