The Gambler's Guide to Heroism
Chapter 12: U and A
~Hakari Kotaro - 4 Days Later~
4 Days had passed since I rolled Candy Paramecia, and it became time to finally go to UA. We had gotten our acceptance letters one day after I rolled Candy Paramecia, which were hologram discs containing personalised messages from the teachers for managing to score in the top 10.
For the record, I was ranked 1st and Toga was ranked 8th. Which was hella impressive for being effectively quirkless in the exam. My message contained a personal congratulations from All Might himself, while Toga's had one from Midnight.
We were currently walking to the entrance of UA, after jogging up the hill it was situated on. We encountered numerous students on the way with all sorts of quirks that drew my attention. But there was something that was demanding my attention more.
"Nee nee~ Hakari-kun, how do I look?"
"Absolutely the cutest."
"Hehe~."
I admit it was quite a novel sight to see Toga dressed in the UA Uniform. It fit her quite nicely, and the black stockings were a really nice touch. She occasionally wriggled her hips to catch my attention and expose her ass. She enjoyed teasing a bit too much. Especially with wearing only a black thong to school.
...Just in case, I checked, and there was nothing regulating the underwear you could wear to school as long as you wore one. Honestly, if you read the fine print properly, the school dress code wasn't exactly that restrictive.
Sure, there were example pictures, but for example, you did not have to wear a tie and such. So I did not, I never liked ties. I doubted that most students read through the full contract and enrollment stuff. I just had a compulsion to read this stuff due to my life in the Yakuza. The lesson to read what I'm given had been drilled into me painfully, countless times.
It did not take too long for me and Toga to find class 1-A(Thankfully, we both ended up in the relevant class), and on the way there, the view from the corridors was stunning. One half of UA overlooked all of Musutafu Tokyo, and the other half had a sea view. While I was busy admiring the view, we reached a giant door with the words 1-A written on it.
The door almost reached the ceiling and was pretty wide, probably for accessibility, there are some pretty large students out there. I placed a hand on the door and opened it.
Inside the classroom was rather spacious with a teacher's podium at the front, lockers at the back and rows of spacious desks in the middle. Already a decent chunk of the class had seated, with most of the faces being familiar to me.
Most, being the operative word, because it seemed like Remix had already taken effect. I think... tail and animal guy were missing
Upon seeing Toga enter the classroom, a girl stood up from her desk and waved her over, much to my surprise.
"Toga-chan! You made it! Here here!"
It was a rather stunning girl with an athletic build, she had bubblegum pink skin and shortish pink hair. Her eyes were uniquely cool with yellow pupils and black irises. She also had little horns on her head.
Toga looked excited, but looked back at me as if seeking my approval or something. So I nodded to her, making her turn to Mina with an excited hop.
"Mina-chan! Sorry, Hakari-kun, I'm going ahead!"
That made me raise my eyebrows. I hadn't thought that Mina would get acquainted with the Toga at the exams, but thinking about their personalities, it only made sense, I suppose.
As I was nonchalantly walking towards an empty seat a seat away from the protagonist's seat, which was unexpectedly taken by a pair of floating disembodied clothes, I saw a commotion draw my eyes.
"You! Take down your legs from the table at once! The behaviour you are displaying is not one befitting a future hero and a student of the esteemed UA Academy, even if you managed to score 2nd place in the Practical Exam"
It was a very disgruntled and frankly berserk-looking boy with spiky tan hair and crimson eyes glaring daggers at a taller, around the same height as me, boy with navy hair and spectacles as he put his legs on the table.
Bakugou and Engine Boy.
...I'm bad with names.
"Go shove it, four eyes! Who the hell are you calling second place!?"
The taller boy furrowed his brows before bowing his head slightly, not reading the mood at all.
"Did I mistake your identity? I could have sworn that I had seen your face in the leaderboards above mine. Still, that does not mean it is alright for you to put your feet on the desk!"
"Of course I'm above you, you fucking extra! I'm above everyone here!"
Engine furrowed his brows again.
"But are you not ranked second? If I remember correctly, Hakari-san beat your score by 11 points. Speaking of, it is nice to meet you, Hakari-san. I am Tenya Ida. I ranked 7th on the practical exam."
...And now the entire attention of the class was drawn towards me because of the Ida over here. What a riot. And the most opinionated of those gazes was that of Bakugou over here, who got up from his seat and walked over to me, looking absolutely livid.
"So you are the bastard who lucked out and scored first place, huh!? You Yakuza-looking bastard!"
Now, for the record, I did not like this kind of person. At all. The kind with an overinflated sense of Ego who thought they were better than everyone and started throwing a shitfit the moment that notion was even slightly challenged. And when they are at the top, they spend their time kicking others down.
I dealt with plenty of bullies in my time as a Yakuza, whether it was them trying to undermine my efforts or subtly sabotaging me. I dealt with them the same way, with violence. Though that probably will not pass with my current career. Still.
Was I stronger than Bakugou? Hell no. He was strong and had great practice with his quirk; he could easily display firepower stronger than a missile when motivated enough.
Was I going to let him push me around like that? Hell no.
"Yep, the name's Hakari Kotaro. I'd say it has been nice to meet you, but it certainly hasn't been. Mr. Second Place."
Now that touched a nerve.
"You wanna fucking go, you lanky bastard!?"
Crackle! Crackle!
Bakugou's hands crackled like firecrackers while I met his gaze without faltering and summoned my Spectral Claw.
"Oh, please do try-"
Just as the conflict was brewing, we both were shocked at the sudden feeling of emptiness. I even more so as I felt myself lose my connection to Spectral Claw, though not the gacha itself. My gaze turned towards the doorframe where a man entered the room, making everyone turn dead silent.
"If you are going to fight like little kids, then do it somewhere else; this is the UA Hero course. If I see you two stir up trouble again, I will throw you both out."
He was a homeless man who looked at us both with glowing crimson eyes and floating black hair. He was rather tall and lean with a scruffy beard and moustache.
So his Erase works on me too, that's good to know.
...And I see Aizawa, our homeless teacher, already being a dick. Yeah, buddy, you watched the whole thing and still pinned the blame on both of us? As a certain philosopher would aptly put it: Go shove it up yours.
He walked to the middle of the teachers' podium while carrying a yellow sleeping bag in one hand. He held a stopwatch with the other hand.
"A fight on the first day, and it took you all 9 seconds to quiet down. Time is a limited resource, and you kids are too irrational." His dispassionate gaze swept all over the room like a dead fish before he declared.
"I am Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher from now on. And this is a bit sudden, but..." He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a plastic bag with the UA gym uniform inside.
"Go change into these and meet me out in the courtyard as soon as possible. You can find them in the changing rooms. Go and hurry."
That certainly lit a fire under everyone's asses as they got up from their seats in a scramble, but I simply turned my gaze to Aizawa calmly.
"Say, Sensei, we can use our quirks in school grounds, right?"
He turned to me with a dispassionate face and nodded slightly.
"Yes, you can use your quirks to reach your lockers."
I nodded and quietly slotted in Door Crossing.
"Alright then, see you catch you outside, everyone."
And with that, I ran over to the windows before leaping out of them, much to the shocked looks of everyone here.
Of course, instead of my body falling out of the window, it simply disappeared when reaching the window, and instead, I ended up in the 1-A men's locker room since I linked the window with the 1-A men's locker room door using Door Crossing.
Now, I had a reason for rushing here other than the fact that I felt like showing off a little in front fo Aizawa to spite him. Since I was so far ahead of everyone, I got to quickly change out of the outfit and into my gym uniform. I wore a long-sleeved compression shirt under my uniform.
I was not someone ashamed of showing my scars, whether they were because of this world's Yakuza, being stabbed by Toga or being scratched and bitten during sex by Toga. But I also could not be bothered to explain why my body looked like Baki's.
After I was done changing, I walked out of the door, of course, by that I mean I walked out of the changing room just to walk into the main entrance of UA courtyard, where I promptly turned around and actually exited the building. Unfortunately, I couldn't make portals that pointed out of a building, but that just added a single extra step, so it was whatever.
Less than a minute later, came out a disgruntled Shota Aizawa who only spared me a single annoyed glance before ignoring me and moving to the middle of the field. And after him came out the rest of my classmates in troves.
"Whoa dude! How the hell are you here already!? How did you disappear from that window?"
One guy with an electricity-themed haircut asked me in shock when he saw me already there, but I shrugged my shoulders.
"I took a shortcut."
Before he could question me more, Aizawa revealed what we were all here for, which came as a shock to most people here.
A Quirk Assessment test.
"A quirk assessment test!? But what about the school entrance ceremony? The orientation?" Ochako voiced her concerns and doubts, which were mirrored by most of the participants here, making Aizawa look at all of us with a disinterested gaze as if we were the ones not making sense.
"If you are going to be a hero, you won't have time for such leisurely events. UA takes pride in its unconventional teaching methods; they don't stick to their traditions all that much and let the teachers decide."
I let out an annoyed sigh.
Apparently, they do not have the time for such leisurely activities as heroes, but have time to teach math and do photoshoots.
In reality, he was depriving everyone of attending the entrance ceremony for absolutely fucking nothing with a test he could do any damn day.
Dammit, this is why you do not hire traumatised veterans for teaching positions of newbies.
A/N: The first day of His Hero Academia starts, and it is about as chaotic as you would expect. Hakari would sooner die than to take Bakugou's shit lying down. Unfortunately, with Rivalry Bakugou will not be backing down easily.
Time for the classic Quirk Apprehension Test and Aizawa's own brand of bullshit. But while not trying to repeat myself, Hakari does not take shit lying down. His mind clashes with the Hero mindset quite a lot.

Alex I
Hakari should name his quirk Roll for All as a nod to the gacha nature and it being capable of giving nearly everything from multiple universes.
