7 Sometimes, life is not daijoubu...
Fujinomiya Central Hospital
7:00 A.M.
---------
[Ding!]
With a sleepy face and squinted eyes, the boy lying on the white bed was barely awake.
"I don't want to work~" His parched lips whispered.
"The codes are all right~"
"I don't want to make changes!"
…
Work.
The word itself was far from a kid of this age, not mentioning the worn tone with which it was said. Hence, the really cute boy of black hair was Naoyuki without a doubt.
Which first reaction after the ring was to grab his phone from the nightstand, but surprisingly, his hands didn't reach anything.
"WaaaauhHuh?"
[Quirk selected; your quirk today is…]
[F-Class! Flying fingers!]
[+1 hero point]
A robotic sound in his head reminded his current location, he was in a hospital somewhere in Japan. And it wasn't the ordinary Japan, but a shounen anime world.
Likewise, he was no longer a salary man who needed to wake up early to make a living, he was now just a normal kid in an abnormal world.
"Being a kid is the best!" The boy hailed among the gross blanket and pillow.
With the least effort, Naoyuki turned his head toward the clock fixed to the wall, the short clock hand was pointing exactly to 7.
The beginning of the day.
'So, the system gives me a new quirk every morning at 7:00 a.m.?"
Naoyuki stretched his tingling arms and back.
"Great, I think I won't need to buy clocks anymore.' He counted his sleeping hours, yesterday at night it took around two hours for him to fall sleep, but even so, the time he slept was ten entire hours straight.
'After all, this is a four years old kid body. It's normal, I guess.'
"…......."
After a while, in the middle of the silence, he spoke to his self.
"Should I try this new ability?"
The boy thought for a second, and decided to break free of the seal.
"Stupid, soft, warm and cozy blanket! You think you can repress the power of mine, the big Naoyuki-sama?" He curled up into a ball and suddenly jumped violently on the bed. "WAAAYA!!!!"
The white blankets went flying, and Naoyuki posed standing over the bed, one hand was half covering his face, and the other one was wide open pointing up.
"No! You can't!"
"…......."
All of a sudden, a feeling of shame flooded his ideas
'AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Why I did that?'
'I'm supposed to be a 28 years old adult!'
'…......' Naoyuki covered his face with both hands and started to roll in bed.
"AHHHHHH! This awkwardness!"
'Ahhhhhhhggg! You know what! Who cares! I'm a kid now.' Naoyuki talked to himself shamelessly.
Since he arrived here, he definitely became good at pretending nothing was happening.
Meticulously, Naoyuki reached the ground with his short legs. The bed was pretty high, at least for him.
As planned, he opened the drawer next to his bed, taking out the stuffs his mother left him yesterday: cup, toothbrush, toothpaste and a towel.
Alone, with all those stuffs in his arms, he walked out of the sickroom heading to the hallways.
Step by Step, the sandals that were a little too large applauded the floor with rhythm.
Ignoring the strange looks from passersby, and blowing off every other nurse asking why he was alone, he finally was at the doors of the washroom.
Naoyuki entered the place without stop, and locked the door right when he made sure the individual washroom was devoid of people.
After inspecting every corner of the site, and ensure that there were no cameras hidden away, Naoyuki opened his system once again, in the panel was shown the new quirk he just got:
[Quirk: Flying fingers]
Class: F
Abilities:
1) Your fingers can detach from your hands and fly at your will in a diameter of 10 feet. If the finger is out of this range, it'll disappear and reappear in your hand.
----------
Naoyuki released that link between fingers and palm in a natural way, like if he always knew how to do it. Without lying, it was something he was feeling since he woke up, but to avoid that somebody could see him, he waited until now to free his power.
'I didn't expect more from a class F quirk, but this is truly useless.'
Carefully, he read the description in the system over and over again, there was no word games, it meant 'as is' without other interpretation.
Therefore, Naoyuki started his first experimentations with his brand-new quirk. But as it was evident, the results were as lamentable as he imagined.
Looking at the 10 fingers flying around the washroom, Naoyuki couldn't help thinking that even a bee would fly faster. And about the strength, the force was not more than a normal finger, or even worse, because the use of fingers normally involves the hand and arm.
'What am I supposed to do with this quirk? Vision distraction? The range is so short, the agility is scarce, and the power is almost null…'
Not convinced of the reality, Naoyuki kept experimenting, like hitting the finger to test if he could feel the pain, using them to carry small objects, trying to speed up the flying finger, and finally, flushing a finger down the toilet.
'Futile.' Naoyuki concluded, starting to brush his teeth reluctantly.
'….......'
'This washbasin is also too high…'
------------
Later on, more drawbacks were found, Naoyuki realized that this quirk was restricted by his vision too, without watching, he could still move them up down forward, but he had no idea of where does his fingers run into.
Unlike Hawks ability, that could 'see' through his feathers. This quirk and its last possibility to be used as a vision amplifier failed too.
'This is even more useless than [Ear sticker], with that quirk I could at least eavesdrop people's conversation, but what am I supposed to do with this quirk… scratch my back? Clean my butt after using the washroom? Massage myself? Use it in my grilfri- HOLY!'
Naoyuki looked at his fingers.
"HOLY CRAB!!!"
'Combining both quirks!' After a while, Naoyuki came up with that idea, 'I may use the to paste unnoticed the spy stickers to the people. But the problem is… can I create ear stickers with my fingers? '
Naoyuki tested.
'Nope, I can't'
'It doesn't matter, I can create them myself and just send them with my fingers.'
'….......'
'Wait…Why I can't use [Ear sticker]?'
'….......'
'no'
'No'
'NO'
'NOOOO!!!!'
Naoyuki had a bad feeling, which he hoped it wasn't real.
His eyes turned red. Agitatedly, he opened the status panel, ignoring all the other buttons, his look went directly to the quirk section. The only thing written there was [Flying finger]… there was no such quirk as [Ear sticker] anywhere.
'So, this is what [My Random Quirk System] meant!? Literally a new random quirk every day?!!'
'WHAT KIND OF USELESS BULLSH** IS THIS!!!'
'I knew it was too good for such cheap system!'
Naoyuki squeezed the towel tightly.
His little fantasy was broken, and all the 'plans' made to hide his 'secret' was now like a joke.
Still with a bit of hope, Naoyuki checked every corner of the system, until he found [Ear sticker] written in 'History'… No description, it was just the name, like telling him that all was thing of the past.
'Maybe no one would be interested in me now, after all, who would need a person without a quirk in particular, hey, at least I'm not quirkless.' Naoyuki laugh, after that, he cleaned his face with the wet towel.
'Maybe I can become a celebrity or a youtuber, people sure will love to watch a boy that changes his quirk every day.' He continued comforting himself.
But the force with which he held the towel indicated that he wasn't calm.
'Hero? Who want to be that? Let whoever want to do it, that sh** is too dangerous, I won't waste my second life like this, this time I'll live at least 80 years.' Naoyuki washed the towel again, without realizing that he has already done it many times.
'Maybe I should consider leaving Japan after all…'
Suddenly, an unexpected message appeared in the system.
[Ding!]
[New notification]
'What now? I already got my quirk of today, don't I?' Naoyuki couldn't help complain, after all this, he didn't like the system so much.
At first sight, it was a red notification in the mail icon, Naoyuki opened it.
A message was unfolded.
[Hi Host Eto Naoyuki, it's me, 'The operator'. I sent you that message yesterday saying that to understand the system, you had to read the manual, but I just realized that I didn't send you the manual of the system, haha, sorry.
o(*////▽////*)q
Please forgive me.
And hope you enjoy your new life in Boku no Hero Academia!
Attentively,
'The operator']
'Son of… so this operator was the problem! Where is the report button! I want to complain about the service!' Naoyuki took out his anger.
Immediately afterwards, he received another message.
[Ding!]
['The operator' wants to deliver you: [Experimental_System_1.6.4 _Manual.pdf]]
[Accept/Deny]
'Accept!!!'
But before Naoyuki could even click the button, the window disappeared.
Seconds later, a new notification was shown.
[Ding!]
['The operator' wants to deliver you: [My_Random_Quirk_System_Manual.pdf]]
[Accept/Deny]

In a strange land, so far from Earth that it can't be described, there was a world inside a pearl.
This place was a plain full of nature without equal, mountains floating wasn't the weirdest thing you could see there.
Dark holes where at anywhere destroying and rebuilding the entire ecosystem nonstop, but in here, that was just like milk with cereal in the earth, normal.
What look like animals were creatures formed by crystals, precious stones of a wide range of colors. If it weren't for the breath of their noses, you would believe that they are pure decorations in this so eccentric place.
But even so, with the greatest desire to flee from here, these creatures didn't dare to move, sweat-like liquids slid off their bodies.
Under a pinky sky full of yellow clouds, there was a majestic throne, what it is made of is a mystery, but if you touch it, you'll fell the softest textile never imagined, and something that was out of the limits of temperature.
And this elegant throne in question, was seated by a biped living being.
"Good that I unsend that right away." The mysterious being spoke, and its voice was mesmerizing. Even if you didn't know what language they spoke, you could understand its meaning right away.
"I hope he didn't see that" They spoke looking to the horizon, maybe their words were to their self, or maybe it was to someone else.
"…......."
"Nah~"
"He definitely didn't see it, not for nothing they call me 'The fastest hand in the west'" The strange being waved what appears to be his arm.
And continued his work of pushing harder… don't ask what.
----------
"…......"
"Did that thing really say experimental system?!"
Naoyuki kept silent.
"…......"
"How do I uninstall this system?" He cowered.
"I don't want it anymore!
"Even if it really gives a quirk per day! I don't want it!"
"Hey! Who's in the washroom! Hurry up!" Someone outside hit the door.
----------
After a while, Naoyuki had to click 'Accept' with tears in his eyes. He had no other choice, if he was going to die, at least he wants to know the why or how.
He was in his way back to his room, when his stomach started to feel hungry.
'I wonder when my mom will come to pick me up.' Naoyuki thought for no specific reason. Without realizing it, he has already begun to accept the existence of his new mother, he no longer calls her 'The mother of this body'.
'Well, I think I still got some time.'
With doubts, and not really sure at all, Naoyuki opened the manual.
