**Chapter 1: The Unseen Aftermath**

The world had healed. The scars of destruction, inflicted by Tomura Shigaraki's twisted desires, had slowly begun to fade. The once blue skies were now a deeper shade, filled with the laughter of children and the bustling sounds of a rejuvenated society. All thanks to Izuku Midoriya, the boy who had saved humanity with the power of friendship. It had been years since the world was reborn. The remnants of the old world still lingered, but the new generation had grown, and with it, new heroes had emerged. Class A, the prestigious group of students from U.A. High School, had become legends in their own right. Their bonds, forged in the fires of adversity, had grown stronger with each passing day. But on this particular morning, something felt off. Katsuki Bakugo, the explosive and fiery young hero, was the first to notice. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, confusion etched on his face. He looked...the same. Not a single gray hair, not a single wrinkle. He looked exactly like he had when he was 16. "What's going on?" he muttered to himself. He quickly got dressed and headed to the kitchen, where he found Ochaco Uraraka sipping a cup of coffee. Her bright smile and sparkling eyes greeted him, but as he looked closer, he noticed that she too seemed...unchanged. "Ochaco, how old are you now?" he asked, trying to sound casual. Ochaco thought for a moment before responding, "I'm 20, I think? Or is it 21? Time flies when you're having fun!" Bakugo's eyes narrowed. "You look...exactly the same as you did when we were in high school." Ochaco's expression turned puzzled. "Really? I thought I had grown a bit...older." The two of them exchanged worried glances. This wasn't just a coincidence. Something was happening. As they made their way to school, they gathered the rest of Class A: Tenya Ida, Eijiro Kirishima, Shoto Todoroki, and Mina Ashido. The group congregated in the school courtyard, discussing their strange observations. Tenya furrowed his brow. "I've been thinking about this, and I realized I've been looking the same for years now." Eijiro scratched his head. "I'm still as strong as ever, but...I feel like I'm stuck in time or something." Shoto's expression was unreadable, but his voice was laced with concern. "This has something to do with Izuku, doesn't it?" The group fell silent, their thoughts drifting to their former classmate, the boy who had saved the world. As they pondered, a sense of unease crept over them. Where was Izuku Midoriya now? And what had happened to him? The world had been reborn, but at what cost? The members of Class A exchanged worried glances, sensing that their lives were about to change in ways they couldn't yet comprehend. And as they stood there, frozen in uncertainty, the question on everyone's mind was: what had happened to the boy who had given them a second chance?
