Everyone knew about the age of heroes that sprung up from U.A. during the global war on heroism as a concept. Midoriya, the whole of Class A, and many other heroes had acted heroically to stop the pursuit of total control of the world by All for One. Many books and autobiographies have been written on the psyche of Shigaraki and his endless desire for destruction. In other words, the world had been saved and the bad guys lost.

Except, that’s not really how life works, especially considering the state Japan was left in. A total ‘disaster’. Ripples of influence spread worldwide from the rhetoric of One for All and All for One.

With the many failures of the heroes during the disaster and the growth of All for One, the public perception of the justice system and the hero system was closely scrutinized and only reflected most of the negativity because they had won the battle. However, people and the press still pressed the government, citing the times when information leaks and quirk riot agitation had caused these so-called ‘Villains’ to rise and gather sympathizers for their causes.

More regulation, more politics, more backlash, more violence, more riots, more heroes, more villains, more damage, more lost families, more lost homes.

Because of the large amount of attention and negative press on heroes, the government was forced to give in to demands and address these issues. These schools that were made to teach the next generation about justice and saving lives would receive third-party investigations for their roles in the disaster, and there would be auditors always stationed on these campuses so leaks and other problems would be pruned out.

The ones leading the audits for a large majority of these investigations and being stationed in these schools go by the name ‘HFC’, which stands for the ‘Hero Foresight Committee’.

On top of this, the government of Japan slowly started pushing out more initiatives for quirk registration and accountability, which the greater globe also soon adopted for most of their governments.

Quirk marriages were outlawed on the basis that these were not communions under affection and simply only desired to benefit from the quirk society by hoping to make designer quirk babies, whose parents forced to become heroes or rely on quirk-heavy lives to have an advantageous position.

More technology and research was being done on potentially harmful quirks that would manifest in the hopes that they could catch them early and do preventative care.

Of course, there will always be loopholes, rugpulls, and holes in the law which villains will exploit. And now that hero society as a whole was being frowned upon, less heroes, and student admissions to these hero schools were at an all-time low. 

20 years after the disaster, things were getting gradually better. Admissions were ramping up and the crime rate was going down on a steady curve as more heroes were being pushed out into the world again. With time, even disasters could be forgotten.

However, the vestiges of All for One could still be felt like a tremor after an earthquake, and Panthers loved to sharpen their claws in the dark…

This is the story of how one student with a useless quirk, and a whole class of misfits, became heroes.
