It took a while for me to realise the spell had actually worked as I drifted in and out of consciousness… I remember hitting the ground,
Hard…
I remember how sharp the pain was after that… and some voices, a male and a… an older woman? Were am i… attempting to open my eyes only led to my exhaustion becoming apparent… and once more I passed out.

Awakening once more, I finally felt some semblance of strength return to my body, however attempting to sit up I found myself restrained…
My breathing began to become heavy, strained. Memories of my time as a captured subject of the summoning spell used by the Saintess.
Trying to break free only reminds him more and more of his time as a captive, yanking on the restraints only led to them growing tighter and tighter forcing the memory of his first 'doctors appointment' to his mind.
All the needles…
The sadistic smile on her face as she cut him open, leaving him to slowly fade away before she healed him again and again… all for the sake of the church's 'healing'…
the constant shake he gained after that took an entire year to leave him and even yet he had still been plagued by it as a reminder as to what took place for two entire months…
The bloodred eyes she had still occasionally haunted his dreams causing him two wake up coated in sweat, screaming from the pain that never fully left him…
Suddenly, a pressure engulfed him… his foggy senses started to return and then slowly fade to sleep, just as his eyes caught notice of a woman holding him close to her chest… his eyes only catching a glance at long black hair and a white suit…

"Urgh…. God I feel hungover…" reaching for my head I find my arms no longer restricted as I nurse my slight headache, thankful I send a thanks to whoever released me from… that…
A cough rang out from in front of my bed. Slowly sitting up I was greeted by the sight of a… mouse…bear?"
"hohohoho! Indeed, many have asked that question young man! However, before I answer any of your questions, allow me to introduce myself and ask a few of my own. I am Nezu, principal of this fine university. Now, this is the part where you give me your name…" the, talking mouse-bear spoke out.
Rubbing my eyes, as I tried to fend off my confusion… aren't I supposed to be back on earth? What the heck is this guy in front of me?
"Ahem! While I can understand your confusion, given your rather abrupt arrival. I'd rather ascertain whether or not you are a threat to my university, so if you'd answer the question Mr..?" the mouse-bear Nezu stated, gaining a slightly aggressive tone to his voice.
"Sorry… its just all, kind of blurry… I don't know if you'll believe me but considering I must be crazy because you're some kind of mouse-bear combo means logically I'm hallucinating… yea! That must be it… the Spell must have really hit me hard is all… and then waking up here my mind must still be pretty screwed up because I'm certain that when I first got summoned from earth those didn't exist… at least Ravia didn't have weird combo creatures… just monsters…" nodding to myself, the dots I started connecting were starting to make sense. Clearly I'm still out of it after that large spell dragged me back…
Watching as the mouse-bear Nezu tapped his chin and walked back and forth across on the opposing hospital bed as he suddenly turned back towards me, "I guess that could be true… it could also be that something happened to me, causing my mind to imagine an injured teenager to have fallen from the sky into the yard of my school creating a large crater, as well as needing my schools nurse to look after him as he recovered for an entire week… perhaps you are the hallucination-"
"Oh, would you quit playing with him Nezu! The poor boys fallen from nearly ten stories and come out of it mostly fine, other than the severe dehydration and lack of energy he's mostly fine, actually he'd be more than fine if you quit playing your games! Now shoo! The boy finally woke up so I can get some more answers from him without you confusing him anymore than he has been! Now shoo!" craning my neck, I see an older woman slowly walk into the infirmary, she wore a pink helmet with a purple visor and a white lab coat, she slowly walked forward using a-a… Hooof thank God its not needle… just a syringe… just a syringe…
"Are you fine young man?" she spoke gently, her keen eye looking over me.
I shook my head slowly breathing in and out to calm myself, "yea. Sorry I just… bad memories with restraints and needles… your cane was just a little to similar for comfort." Grimacing slightly as I nodded towards it.
She looked down at it with confusion, releasing a sigh she gave a comforting smile "sorry about that young man, didn't mean to bring up any bad memories. Now, im the pro-hero Recovery Girl, but you can me granny, whats your name?"
"Sirius Rofan- ah it used to be Sirius Collins befor-Before I was taken."
Tilting her head as she grew a quizzical frown, "what do you mean, taken? Were you kidnapped?" she asked hurriedly.
Taking a deep breath as a frown grew on my face, "seven years ago at the age of ten, I was summoned to an empire known as Tristanvia… I was summoned there, as a test subject of the Church of Balam… an evil god of sorts… I was used to test… many, horrible things…" slowly once more the memories flew through my mind. Not as horrible as normal, I have slowly recovered from it but… not as much as Id have liked.
Suddenly a small hand fell upon my shoulder, glancing back up the concerned look of recovery girl filled my sight, "sorry just… bad memories but im fine now. anyways, after the two months I was trapped their. While I was being transported to a different facility, a man came… Delvin Rofan."
I paused as a smile grew on my face, "Delvin rescued me. He found me in a right pathetic state. I was barely even skin and bones at that point, he took me in. he was an adventurer at the time, right at the pinnacle, S-rank. He fed me, taught me all of my skill, and even raised me as his own. Eventually he became the guild master over in the kingdom of Kalanick… the moment I was old enough I followed him to the guild and joined… he was the father I never had… a great man." Grinning to myself, I noticed a smile growing on her face.
"that's good young man, but these… places you're talking about, where are they? I've never heard of them, and what do you mean by adventurer?" she asked.
"The places aren't of earth if that's what you mean, they exist in Ravia. A world parallel to our own. I know it sounds far-fetched but it's a world where magic exists, as well as monsters like goblins and dragons… and spirits…" my spirits…
Checking my mana levels, I found them lacking greatly. Even with the higher tank for mana I had, the bit of mana I had recovered wouldn't have even been enough to create a spark… I need food and water in order to for my body to heal and start making my excess energy into mana…
"Another world huh? Did that crash landing hit you harder than I thought?" giving me a look of disbelief she grabbed my head and began looking for any missed injuries.
"Stop that would you! It's the truth! I've spent the last seven years living in the world of Ravia, if I had the mana I'd show you things you wouldn't think possible! Shooting beams of light, whips of darkness! Heck I can even go through the shadows if I had enough mana!" I was starting to get frustrated; I can understand not believing my situation but this was getting annoying.
"Heck I don't know if I even wanted to go back… I had a life their… the only thing I have left here is… my mom! Recovery girl! Where is my mom! Her name is Sarah Collins, ah shoot I cant remember the address but we lived on a farm in Canada! Can you look up her information?" I was practically begging as I finished… my mom… its been so long, I don't know if I even remember what she looked like…
I sat watching as she turned back to go to her computer, rather sleek compared to what I remembered but I guess some progress had been made in the seven years I had been gone.
After a few minutes and a lot of confused hums, she turned back towards me with a grimace and a look of acceptance… "she's dead. Isn't she…" receiving a solemn nod as I started to slowly look down.
"that's not all I'm afraid… this is an article from 2007 October 23rd, the day you were pronounced missing… this over here is todays date… 2320, January 14th… your story is starting to make more sense… sadly enough." Freezing in place, as I wished for the kind old lady in front of me to actually be playing some cruel prank… but the moment I got the article in my hands… the moment my reality came crashing down… its been three hundred and thirteen years since I was taken over to Ravia… I don't have any family left… I'm… alone.
"I'll give you a while to process the news…" she finished with a solemn nod, leaving the room, and myself to process the news…

It took me around an hour to slowly believe the large jump in time… it would also partially explain the weirdness I've been feeling since I've arrived, everyone here Is completely different from the people I left behind when I was a kid…
Quirks. A type of meta-ability first discovered not long after I was summoned, in the year 2016 a newborn baby in China was born with the ability to radiate light from its body. After this occurred people all over the world began to manifest all sorts of different abilities like this… super powers. Its believed quirks are the next step in humanities evolution.
Due to these newfound abilities, crime went on a rampant increase. The newfound minority of super-powered people began to be disliked by the ordinary.
As the chaos and unrest continued due to the meta-abilities, ordinary citizens took matters into their own hands and became the first heroes in the form of vigilantes…
As this happened, the term quirk, was created for the newfound powers. All thanks to the love of a mother who claimed her sons powers were just a 'quirk' of his.
Looking up from the paper, towards the apparent 'super intelligent' mouse-bear Nezu, who was giving me a look I couldn't quite understand. "you're telling me that, in the past three hundred years. Society has gained super powers, superheroes, and super villains?" the disbelief had still not left my eyes. One extreme to the next, medieval fantasy to modern fantasy. "And there are millions of different quirks? And from what I'm reading here, the vast majority of these seem like they conflict with the laws of physics… for instance the first quirked baby, the luminescent one." Pausing to catch my breath,
Shaking my head in slight disbelief I continued, "How did he continue to glow? What caused it, was it using the bodies natural electrical waves? What was on his skin that could glow? None of this makes sense, at least mana was a natural source of easily convertible power. Mana could be channeled throughout the body and expelled into spells. A spirit could be contracted in order for a mage to have access to more mana, in exchange every time a spell was cast the spirit would gain more energy and grow stronger allowing for higher level spells to be used as the spirit grew."
The principal nodded, as he rubbed his chin. "That does make a lot of sense. Though to answer your question quirks are completely biological, everyone with a quirk is born with a certain level of 'quirk factor' a term used to measure the strength of the quirk a child would gain either at birth if it was a mutant quirk or around the age of four if its either an emitter type or a transformative type."
… the world is completely different now… at least once my mana's recovered some more, I can check on Theia and Avon… I don't believe they're dead, Falkner was a mad man not an idiot… he would know that I wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he hurt my family.
"Sir. What do I do now… I have nothing. No one to turn to, my family's long gone. Where do I go in a world where I'm legally dead?" turning to look at the principal in front of me, watching as a grin grew in his face.
"I believe I have quite the offer for you young man, you see in this society heroes area necessity due to the constant known as villains, and from what I've managed to gather about you so far, is that in your other world. You were quite the hero, no? I'm offering you a chance, not a guarantee, a chance to enter my university, UA the worlds greatest hero school. I will tutor you to at the very least have you learn about some recent history, and to find out where you stand in your education. I cant imagine you have much of one if you were summoned at the age of seven. The entrance exam is in exactly 1 year, I wont tell you what it is, though you can expect both a written exam and a physical/quirk-based test, or in your case magic."
Nodding at him, its my only real chance after all, "I accept, but… how are you going to turn me from a dead man into a living one in the eyes of the governments?"
I only received the laughter of a mad-man in response

Its been over a month since I returned back to earth, and two weeks since I was declared medically fit enough to go and be tutored by Nezu. I'm incredibly close to regretting my choice…
For two weeks, I've been living in an older dorm off in the far side of the campus. I say old but technically speaking, I'm older than this entire school, so not too bad I suppose.
Its nothing fancy but I do have the entire top floor as my house, it only took some small renovations to knock out some walls and put up some different ones for this place to turn into a giant apartment, I've gone for a bit of a more rustic look. It looks nice and it reminds me of home.
It had a large, open living room/slash kitchen and giant windows looking out over the campus, the only two things looking out of place were the large elevator door and the gray metal of the stairwell door.
Glancing over, as I heard a knock on my door, my head had already begun to hurt. Opening it, I found Nezu, and someone I had yet to meet. "Ah, Good afternoon principal, and… guest? Nice to meet you, my names Sirius Rofan." Nezu had ended up fully giving me a new identity, and thanks to the large time difference to my disappearance, I didn't have to change my first name and thanks to Delvin, I already had a new last name.
A shocked look grew on the newcomers face, he was clearly expecting a different reaction though it appears Nezu was getting enjoyment out of it with the ever-growing grin on his face as he was carried in with the giant blonde-haired man.
"Aha, Good afternoon to you as well Sirius, I'm here to introduce you to UA's newest staff member, All Might. I figured since I'm tutoring you, there no way you wouldn't pass the entrance exam, and since you only recently gained access to the outside world, it wouldn't hurt for you to learn of the secret that All Might would be teaching here." He grinned as he spoke, causing the giant man next to him to sweat-drop.
"What he means to say, young Rofan. Is that he believes in your talent, and that you will overcome the hurdles in front of you!" he exclaims with a large smile, and a thumbs up.
Smiling back was all I could do, I had heard of all might in these past two weeks but had yet to see a picture of the man, he was tall and incredibly powerful looking. No doubt he could kick my ass If he wanted… but I doubt a man known as the symbol of peace would go and pick fights for fun.
Holding out my hand in greeting, "Nice to meet you as well sir, I'm assuming Nezu has denied telling you any of my circumstances so I'll just tell you the short version, I'm from three hundred years in the past. Nezu's given me the chance to live a new life and its thanks to him I've got a roof over my head right now so I already owe him a great deal." Nezu and I came up with the story as to explain my circumstances in a less than extreme way, the story goes that I was caught up in an accident further down the timeline when quirks had already been a thing for several years and I was transported to the future by a time travelling quirk…
Not the most believable story but certainly more believable than travelling dimensions… I think so anyways… plus it explains my magic as a quirk, instead of you know magic. Plus once my arrival goes public, and I have no doubt it will, the public wont freak out too much… hopefully.
Reaching out, I shook his hand. He had frozen, confused about my very strange past, "if it helps sir, just think of me as a regular teen with an old-fashioned past." Smiling at the still confused man who just shook his head and chuckled.
Shaking my head at Nezu's clear attempt at getting another source of amusement out of the large mans confusion, entering the kitchen I clear off the table and motion for my two guests to sit down, "now, before we get into any more talk, what can I get the both of you to drink? Tea? Water? I've got some coffee around here somewhere…"
After a few moments, I set down a pitcher, kettle, and a pot of coffee and take a seat across from the number 1 pro-hero.
"Some tea would be just fine, but onto more pressing news, as I was saying our new teacher isn't quite up to par with UA's standards just yet, but since he is going to take over the heroics class, we're hoping that you'll let him come by every once in a while to practice his material and give him some pointers on his lessons, so do you agree?" the mouse spoke as he sipped out of a tea cup that he must have brought in with him as I know I didn't buy one like that.
Hmmm… getting early lessons on what a hero actually does in this day and age might not be a bad idea… I doubt they'd like the aggressive means in which we enforced justice back in Ravia so having a hero who's been in action would be great at letting me know how much power I can pack into an attack before its too dangerous to be viable…
Smiling at the two, I accept… the rest of the afternoon was dedicated to discussing schedules, and in the end it was decided that All-Might would stop by at least once a month two go through his ideas and give some pointers to Sirius in return.

A few days have passed since then, and I've finally regained my freedom. Nezu has finally put me back into legal existence in the eyes of the government, and managed to get me the inheritance I wouldve gotten from my mother, don't ask me how, I cant think of a way he could do that legally, especially since the amount he got me wouldve been a decent amount but given he also managed to get me three hundred years worth of annual compound interest… it actively could not have been through legal means.
A rough total of 26 million dollars… American… which is still somehow top dog in the economy
Just a bit shy of 4 billion yen…
Time for a small shopping trip and then to find a place to summon my partners… hopefully they've recovered by now…
Setting off, I stopped at several important places. First of all, a cellphone, they are incredibly different from how I remember them… but so much better.
Secondly I needed more clothes, I kept being called a cosplayer? I have no clue what it was but it was annoying, that and people kept asking me if I was a hero in training? Technically I will be once I pass the exam but not until then, and impersonating a hero is a crime apparently so I had to get that fixed quick… it does feel strange to not be able to use basic magic or have my sword with me after so long of always having it on me…
It does feel nice having modern clothes again, though I wouldn't mind if they had the feel of my adventurer attire. Something to consider when I do have my costume properly made for hero work… although I'll have to give them my armor so they can upgrade it and put all this cool computer stuff into it.
Sliding on a nice deep blue sweater, I pay and carry out my stuff ducking into an alley to dump all of my new things into my hammer-space. One of the only high-level spells I can use without the need of my spirits mana.
Taking a quick glance inside, I regret not using it for more varied things. All it had inside was some left-over rations and a couple spare tools I used for gathering plants and minerals for quests, oh and my guild card… too bad I was only one quest away from S-rank…
Shaking my head, I went and grabbed the final thing I had set off to buy. A small cake to give my partners once they got here.
Using my new phone took a quick minute but it was easy to figure out, and after a quick search for a nearby park that allowed the usage of quirks, I set off.
Thankfully the park wasn't far and it as quite a beautiful sight, all sorts of people in this day in age have such varied quirks that its always quite interesting to just stroll around and guess how their power works.
Finding a more secluded area of the park, near a small grove of trees. I feel the first proper thrum of my mana since before I arrived, hammer space is very different from traditional magics in the sense that you only need the large burst of mana once, and after that it's tied to your soul and you hardly even need to think to use it.
Letting the energy flow through me for the first time in month, my body regained that lost sense of comfort and warmth it had long grown accustomed to. Finally releasing the energy out of my body, and I could start sensing the park around me, all of the parents, children and animals, felt great after having been missing from my sensation for so long, I could finally let my guard down some.
Concentrating once more, I pulled on the two links in my core. Feeling an over-excited jerk back from the lighter of the two and a simple tug in response from the other and I knew my fears were unfound. My partn- my family, was okay.
Pulling the energy out, and seeing a white cat and a raven fly out had all the stress leaving my body.
"SIRIUSSSS! YOURE OKAY!" "Its good to see you again, Sirius. I'm glad to see you're fine after that fight." Both spirits spoke, overlapping as they did.
"Its good to see you both are fine as well. After seeing you two in that stats… I had almost assumed the worst, since it took so long for me to recover my mana after it was drained by that piece of garbage." Frowning for a moment, then smiling and hugging them both.
"Now, since I had sent you both back to the spirits realm you probably don't know what ended up happening at the end." Rubbing the back of my head, I tried to figure out how to explain our situation.
"Falkner had set a trap, something I should have seen coming but didn't… anyways he set a trap. He found out I was a summoned hero, and found the one spell I couldn't. The spell to get back to earth." As I explained, gaining both of their shock. The two knew of my past thanks to our shared capture, but hadn't ever thought they would get the chance to enter my world.
"Wait, so right now. we are on Earth? But where are all of the giant buildings you told us about? And metal cars and bikes?" Avon asked, confused as we were currently away from the bustle of the city.
"Well, that's because I needed somewhere less crowded to summon you both, turns out time flows far differently between both worlds. I left earth in the year 2007 and lived in the world of Ravia for 10 years, while I was gone, time passed at an incredibly faster rate then in Ravia. It is currently the year 2320 in February." I paused, giving them a moment to sort through my explanation.
"Oh Sirius… your mom… she's, gone isn't she?" Theie whispered out, before floating over and doing her best version of a hug.
"Yea… but, well I cant say I'm fine yet, but its getting slightly easier to come to terms with." Nodding solemnly at her as Avon grew a grimace.
"Now! onto more happy news, I bought us a cake to celebrate our reunion! Dig in!" trying my best to go towards a mor cheerful subject, thankful to both my partners as they nodded at me and I cut them each a slice.
Someday I'd come to terms with what happened… but not quite yet.

Chapter 2 is complete!
I wanted to make Sirius into a more, victimized character compared to the rest of my Oc's and I feel like I've done pretty decently so far.
I feel like the time jump works pretty well for a double isekai so too speak, and it also gives me a reason for Sirius not to know to much about quirks but not make him an idiot. Just behind on the times.
Don't forget to leave a review, id love some feedback from you all. And i hope you like this chapter as much as I did writing it!
