Hello again! It's heart-warming to see that my first ever fanfiction is gaining popularity, and at such a surprising rate to! Seriously, at the time I begin writing this the first chapter has only been up like, 9-10 hours, and it has already gotten 3 reviews 4 favs and 10 follows, and it may even get more popular while I'm writing this! So I just wanted to say thank you to all you readers out there, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

"Ugh..." as the light died down Kirishima slowly opened his eyes and looked around, confused as to what was going on.

"Oh! The summoning was a success!" exclaimed the voice of a man.

'It feels like I've just been hit by a truck thrown by Death Arms.' Kirishima thought while trying to ignore the slight soreness he felt in his muscles.

'Hold on, where the hell am I!?" he thought slightly panicking in case he was kidnapped by the league of villains or some other evil organisation that just popped up. After all, it wouldn't be the first time he has been attacked by villains.

"Heroes! Please, save this world!" Kirishima's eyes locked onto the one who spoke, a man dressed in robes with three others beside him.

Heroes? Looking to his left Kirishima saw three other people. A blond kid holding a bow whose age, if Kirishima had to guess, was only about 15-16 years old, then again appearances can be deceiving, after all Mineta was 16 and he was the shortest person in class. The next guy had black hair with a sword and exuded an aura that basically said Leave me the hell alone. The last one was a tall blond guy with his hair up in a spiky ponytail who wielded a spear.

'Wait a second... Those are three of the four cardinal weapons from the book! Does that mean?...' Kirishima thought as he looked down at the weight he just noticed on his right arm, it was a shield, guess he was the shield hero then, kinda makes sense considering his quirk hardens his body for extra defence.

Just as Kirishima was about to speak, he was instantly cut off by the robed man who again pleaded for the heroes help in saving the world.

"What do you mean?" the kid with the bow asked, confused, Kirishima decided to listen, it might help him get a better grasp of the situation at hand.

"That is a long story... Using an ancient ritual, we summoned you." ancient ritual? Summoned? Ok this was sounding like a way to cliché video game.

"Sorry, but I don't believe I signed up for this, so you can just send me back home right now." the black haired teen said in a irritated tone clearly displaying his displeasure at just being summoned out of the blue.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's impossible, brave Sword Hero, once the four cardinal heroes are summoned, we can't send them back." the man explained with a frown dawning his face.

'Wait! We cant be sent back home!? Oh crap my parents! My friends! They're all gonna wonder where the hell I am but no matter where they look they wont be able to find me in another world unless they find someone with a dimension-jumping warp quirk and the chances of that are slim to none!' Kirishima thought with dread as his eyes widened at what he was hearing, he hardened his heart to make sure he didn't have a heart attack, he learnt he could harden his organs when he had a heart attack when he was 11. In a stroke of creativity and just sheer dumb luck, he hardened his heart trying to stop the attack, and it worked, somehow it worked out.

After calming himself down Kirishima took note of the situation, he was summoned at one of the four cardinal heroes to save an entire world from destruction. No pressure right?

"Our world is on the edge of ruin, great heroes, please help us, please, save our world." the man begged the four heroes standing before him in hopes they will assist.

"I see... In that case-" Kirishima began to say something only to be cut off.

"Daga Kotowaru." the blond guy with a spear said uncaring.

Kirishima blanched at the guys casual dismissal of the plead- 'Dude! You cant just refuse a heroic quest like that!' he thought in surprise and shock at the blonds attitude.

"I agree... Send us back." said the bow bearer.

"Don't you feel guilty about kidnapping random strangers without their consent?" raising his sword towards them, the black haired boy glared threateningly at the men in robes.

'Dammit! These guys are asking for help and they are just brushing them off like yesterday's news!' Kirishima thought annoyed they would just ignore this responsibility placed on them.

"What if you just discard us once the peace is restored? What guarantee's you don't get rid of us?" once more the boy with the bow spoke "What can you offer us in exchange for our help?" him saying this turned Kirishima from being annoyed to disgusted. It's a hero's job to help others, expecting no reward in return. But apparently these guys never read a dictionary before as they don't even know the meaning behind it.

"Depending on your answer, we could turn against you." and that does it for him! He can handle them being reluctant, admittedly he was a bit to. He could handle them wanting payment, corrupt heroes weren't anything new. But threats!? There's a line that has been crossed and Kirishima wont stand for this kind of behaviour from would-be heroes!

"Don't you agr-ack!" the blond guys sentence was cut off by Kirishima taking off the shield from his arm and "lightly" slamming it into the dude's face, causing everyone who witnessed the event to widen their eyes in shock, as the blond got back up holding his slightly bleeding nose, he asked "W-why!?" to which Kirishima responded with.

"Dude, we were summoned here as heroes, to protect the weak and innocent, and here you are demanding rewards when you haven't even done anything yet? That's low man, real low." he stated/explained while returning his shield to its original place on his arm "Anyways, I say we at least listen to what they have to say first, then decide." he said much more calmly now.

The blond guy stood back up and moved a bit away from Kirishima, not wanting to be hit with the shield again, and the remaining heroes wisely decided they should remain silent lest they feel the same wrath the blond guy did.

The man smiled and nodded in appreciation "Thank you, Sir Shield Hero, now we shall go talk to the king about the challenges you shall face and the obstacles you will encounter on your journey." he said calmly while turning around and motioning for the four heroes to follow, to which they did.

'Man, my life just got a whole lot more insane than I ever thought it could... Just hope the others will be alright without me.' Kirishima thought, almost absentmindedly as he walked following the man in robes to meet the king.

No reviews at the time of writing this, but I'm sure they'll come eventually.
