76.31% My Hero Academia: Restless Gambler / Chapter 29: Chapter 28: Death Gamble

Kapitel 29: Chapter 28: Death Gamble

The moment I cut off my arm the momentum from Nomu's swing flung me like a baseball toward the shipwreck rescue area with a giant artificial lake, but as I was getting flung I made yet another bet.

In the hand of my now, only arm was a translucent gold card. Gripping I crushed the card in my hand as it broke into thousands of little shards of light.

[You have used the character card: Destiny's Child]

The ability to see a future or an opportunity. I was betting on it giving me the opportunity I needed—an opportunity I could take to kill the Nomu.

Visions of the future flashed through my eyes and I saw an "opportunity".

'I didn't know synergies existed!'

This was doable.

My body hit the water roughly after the vision ended, I felt vertigo overtake my body as it sunk but I did not close my eyes, instead, I opened my ability list.

|Rarity: Epic|

An anchor imbued with the blessing of the hidden princess wielded by the knight of the deep seas. The weapon is unwieldy and immensely powerful. Wielding it doubles the strength of the user and boosts the power of all water abilities.

____________________________

A giant anchor appeared in front of me, nearly double my height, with a brutal appearance. It looked like it was almost sharpened, with barbed dull corners and the occasional rusty nails sticking out of the handle. I could already tell it was considerably heavier than the average car. The strength you would need to lift it with one hand would be around the same effort needed to lift a semi-truck.

But when my hand grasped the handle of the anchor I felt power flood my veins and my muscles tremble.

Then, a notification.

____________________________

Power flooded my body, I felt the entire lake around me, bending to my will. I was dead tired and out of battery but...

I grit my teeth and forced my body to move, even though it hurt to, I willed the water around me to move. My body was already powerful, and when the Anchor was in my hands all of that was doubled.

Using the water around me, I propelled my body and launched myself out of the lake.

⚀—⚁⚂⚃—⚄—•⚅•—⚄—⚃⚂⚁—⚀

~Izuku Midoriya~

Izuku's mind was scattered and gripped with fear, he had watched as the monster brutalized Hakari. He looked up to Hakari and he was trashed just like that. He had wanted to move and help but his mind was paralyzed by fear. He couldn't even approach them from the harsh wind blowing from their rumble.

Now that the Nomu had mutilated Hakari, Izuku's body refused to move, he didn't know what to do, he wanted to move but he couldn't get himself to even though Kacchan had, sheer terror gripped every inch of him. Just as the creepy cerulean-haired man was about to speak...

Rumble.

Crack.

The ground cracked. Water leaked out from the cracks on the ground as everyone looked around cautiously.

Everyone including Izuku's eyes went wide as something impacted the ground and split the ground apart like a meteor covered in water.

As the shell of water fell apart like rain Izuku couldn't believe his eyes.

There stood Hakari, shadowed by water, a wide grin splitting apart his face, his body covered in scars like a cadaver, but perhaps the most striking feature was the gigantic rusty anchor he carried on his shoulder, nails stuck out of the handle, the chain of the anchor was wrapped around Hakari's arm. And in the place of his severed arm was a substitute made of water.

Water all around converged with him in the middle like the eye of a whirlpool.

The cerulean-haired man seemed shocked, taking a step back.

"What the fuck is he!? A hidden boss!? Sensei didn't tell me about this!' Seemingly hearing him Hakari smiled with a demonic grin that sent shivers down Izuku's spine.

"Yeah, and it's time for a TPK, League of Villains!" Saying that Hakari threw the giant anchor that probably weighed more than a car into the air casually and gathered water in hand before swiping it like a claw then...

Woosh!

Izuku's eyes could barely perceive a blue line flitter past his eyes and the whistle of the wind. Then the sound of flesh being rended. Like a creaking toy, Izuku turned to see the black monster standing in front of the stunned blue-haired man with several lacerations across its body, not only that but the wall behind it was cut into several pieces.

'Did he...? I couldn't even see it!'

Yet Hakari still simply smiled. As if expecting such a thing.

"Guess it won't be so easy to take him down eh? Fine then, let's do this then!" Izuku got up and tried to rush over.

"Hakari-ku-!" But before he was able to get close Hakari's eyes briefly met his own...

"But first, let me clear the arena. This is not a battlefield you guys can interfere in." Hakari's water arm lifted two fingers as several chains of water wrapped around every hero's and hero in training's body and flung them away from the middle of the USJ.

"Hakari-!" Izuku tried to object and pry the water chains off but he wasn't able to as he was flung away along with the others.

'Don't tell me to stay away! I don't want to stand by and watch my friends get hurt without being able to help again!' Izuku wanted to help since he wasn't able to before but Hakari had pushed him away.

Still, Izuku held a determined glare in his eyes.

⚀—⚁⚂⚃—⚄—•⚅•—⚄—⚃⚂⚁—⚀

~Hakari Kotaro~

I locked eyes with the Nomu, raging streams of water surged around me, I was going to put that thing down one way or the other. It took my arm, I was going to take its life, a simple trade.

My legs wound like springs before pushing off the ground with such force that I left a crater in my wake, arriving in front of the beast I uppercut it with the water arm I had, producing a shockwave from the power behind the punch, its head snapped up but visible no effect, complete negation.

Woosh!

It tried to grab me again but just in time I pulled myself down with chains of water, I gripped the anchor and swung it with both hands into the creature's side, producing a shockwave and cracking the ground below us.

Its kinetic energy absorption had a limit, I knew it, but considering All Might who can level city blocks with the shockwaves from his punches needed over a hundred full-force attacks, I didn't give myself a good chance of surpassing that threshold.

But that didn't mean I couldn't kill this motherfucker.

I leaned away from a punch that blew away the surroundings like a bomb and changed the shape of the water arm into several claws,

then ducked under its legs before slashing both of its ankles.

Swish!

Thanks to the boost from the perk Tough Claws, I managed to tear away its ankles, the beast looked quite confused as its body started falling without it being able to put power into its legs, of course, those tendons would recover in mere moments but I took the opportunity.

As it tried to turn and grab me, I swung the anchor and wrapped its chain along with a chain of water around its legs before pulling and sweeping the Nomu off their feet while they still held that dumb expression. I dug my feet in and spun my body, throwing the Nomu toward the Shipwreck Rescue Zone.

"Grrh!" My arm strained as Nomu grabbed and pulled the chain connected to me while being thrown away, pulling me with it. But fine, that was the plan anyway!

But suddenly, the Nomu seemed to have grown a brain as it suddenly pulled me closer with the chain and grabbed my waist, then sunk its fingers in. Its fingers pierced into my kidney, my stomach, my intestines, my ribs, the pain made my vision go white for a second, my body was already bruised and dying, and the pain was amplified tenfold.

I could barely maintain the control I had over the Cellular Overdrive, my body was giving out, I couldn't continue. The fingers digging into my side made my eyes go blank.

'The pain in your body is nothing compared to the flames of rage in your eyes. No pain can hinder your path! Rip him apart!' Half-Light spoke as all of the pain transformed into anger.

Crack.

I looked at the face of the Nomu that looked almost mocking, it almost felt like the face of fate playing me, it would take a simple tightening of its grip to bisect me. The fear that was present in my heart bloomed into a new kind of rage. Fine then.

'There is no way around it, it's time to bet it all! It's do or die, time to bet on yourself against death. Stare the abyss in the face and bet it all on yourself, you can survive it. Death is your bitch, she just hasn't realized it yet.'

If this isn't enough to overcome you, then I just have to go ALL IN.

'POLAR CHANNEL FLOW - CELLULAR OVERDRIVE STACK'

The veins in my body wore down as my body pumped blood like a jackhammer, just the beat of my heart was deafening to my ears. I used Cellular Overdrive on top of itself, I felt my hair grow at a visible pace but at the same time, I FELT GODLIKE.

My eyes refocused and snapped back to the Nomu, I saw red, the veins in my eyes had burst, what does it matter if you have a grip on my guts!?

I raised the anchor above my head, gripping it so hard veins appeared all over my arms, the might of a god gathered in my body, and my bones broke from the pressure I exerted.

Uncaring I slammed the anchor down on the Nomu with all of my might.

"BLUE HOLE!!!"

BAM!!! BOOOM!!!

I hit the Nomu so hard its body meeting the water caused the entirety of USj to shake, I felt my middle get torn apart but the pain only fueled my anger more. I created chains of water from the water that shot up to grab me before pulling me down after the Nomu.

My body entered the water and I saw the Nomu at the bed of the lake, perfect.

I reached my hand out toward it.

'The best way to kill Nomu is to slowly carve him apart.'

So it cannot deal with constant pressure as easily right!?

'Depth Crush!'

Suddenly, the Nomu's behaviour changed as its chest completely collapsed inward, forcing air and blood out of its body. Its body started distorting randomly as it experienced the weight of the deepest depths, the pressure of the bottom of the vast abyssal depths was inflicted on it at every moment, bearing down on the Nomu with thousands and thousands of tons of pressure.

The Nomu trashed around wildly, shaking the entire USJ and tearing apart the lake in a panic while suffocating all the while I forced water to surround him with Hydrokinesis. Then I gripped the anchor again and swung on him with a wild overhead again.

BAM!

The ground cracked. I was going to beat this bastard down. I slammed the anchor onto it again, and again, and again as it trashed for breath while I desparately surrounded it in a water bubble since the lake around us was scattered by the shockwaves, only pockets of it hung in the air as I used them to bind the Nomu.

BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!

I swung desparately trying to put down the bastard that just wouldn't fucking quit. Its hand managed to grab me and gripped my remaining flesh arm as it tried to jump away from the lake like a wild animal, but unfortunately for it, I wouldn't stop drowning it even if it ripped out all of my limbs.

Either one of us or both of us were gonna die here...!

It was already losing a majority of the strength in its body due to skipping the holding your breath phase and going instantly to suffocation. And it wasn't smart enough to figure out the trick to Depth Crush so it would die soon.

But just as it raised a fist in the air preparing to punch me something I didn't expect happened.

"SMAAAAASHHHHH!!!" My eyes widened as Midoriya jumped toward us using One for All before punching Nomu right in the face, shattering its teeth and snapping its head back as I struggled to keep the water bubble stable from the sheer power behind the impact.

I couldn't help but smile as I turned to Izuku who seemed satisfied with punching Nomu away from me despite the pain. I suppose the assist always comes in clutch, this little rascal may have just saved my remaining arm.

"Izuku! You glorious bastard the fuck are you doing here?" I specifically flung him away since if he died during the fight things would be fucked but the little bastard just gave me a self-satisfied smile.

"It's a hero's job to jump in to help...! So don't tell me to stay away Hakari-kun!" I turned my head away from him and focused back on the Nomu, I could see the light in its eyes dimming, it felt Izuku's punch for real, as it died the power of its quirk decreased like all other vital functions because it was still a part of its body.

I gritted my teeth and slung the anchor over my shoulder once again before swinging it at the Nomu's head full force once and for all, and as the moment the large anchor met its face, its head disfigured as both our bodies reached the floor and the anchor smashed its head into the ground.

CRASH!!! SPLAT!

A loud crash rang out as my anchor split the earth and the Nomu's head was ripped apart like a rotten watermelon.

Using the last embers of my strength I used Hydrokinsis to make Izuku land safely on a water bubble as I shakily raised my body up and leaned against the anchor for support.

____________________________

The feeling of godlike power vanished from my body as I turned off Cellular Overdrive too, and all of the pain suddenly started coming back to me.

My body was only kept together by sheer force of will at this point, I switched to only Rapid Recovery and Phase Shift to conserve my energy, no, the vitality I was turning to energy, I activated Defensive Form to prevent my body from falling apart and numb the pain a little as I looked at the corpse of the Nomu below my feet in satisfaction.

And as I was doing so, suddenly, a loud bang and crash rang out as the doors to the USJ were busted down and then...

"Don't worry! Why!? Because I am here!!!" All Might had arrived at the scene.

Looking at the door he busted down I felt my eyelid twitch and a chuckle bubble up in my lungs, aggravating the broken ribs. Throwing my head back I opened my mouth. How hilarious.

"YOU COULDN'T HAVE COME JUST FIVE FUCKING MINUTES EARLIER!!!!!???????" 

My shout deafened the entirety of the USJ.

A/N: Hakari wins! Fatality! Always bet on Hakari. Even if he got roughed up a little.

Hakari really ate shit from the full combo fate and luck pulled on him out of the blue. Crazy how just how much a little change of All Might being late can do huh? Also, Izuku just earned bro status with Hakari after that, and Hakari as a bro will not let Izuku end up like he did at the end of the Manga.

Also, it all comes full circle! The first item he ever pulled was essential at the end of the first season. Also, synergies were always planned, and there are other potential synergies Hakari can achieve, Frostflare for example is the core of another Synergy ability.

What did you think about the Nomu fight and the USJ in general?Hearing your thoughts about it would really help. Your comments help motivate me and help me improve

Kapitel 30: Chapter 29: Afraid?

~Next up: Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent~

Pain, so, so much pain.

I could only grit my teeth and keep moving. Rapid Recovery was collaborating with Defensive Form and Battle Continuation to keep the worst of my wounds at bay by prioritizing stopping the internal bleeding and fixing up the ruptured organs.

Yet the feeling of being fixed up made the wounds flare up hard. I had to use what remained of my pants to bind up my, not severed, torn-off arm. It felt like I was embroiled in magma, god, I almost wish I were fucking dead.

Where the fuck is it?

I was gradually hobbling toward where I initially fought the Nomu and I tore off whatever remained of my mangled arm. But when my tibia and femur were broken into several dozen fragments it was quite hard.

Not to mention I had to haul this giant anchor around.

...Would probably be easier if I didn't drag the anchor around with me. But I wasn't leaving it behind lest it get snatched up by mist man.

As I was climbing up rubble or, at least trying to, I saw a large figure approach me, making me enter a slight PTSD episode before the figure was revealed.

"Hakari! You are alive!? Stay there, let me get you." Shoji looked at me with a shocked expression so vivid I could make it out even from behind his mask. Did we even talk before? I think we did at lunch.

He quickly pushed rubble out of the way with his super strength and reached me and picked me up with his tentacle arms.

"Hey, why are you so surprised that I'm alive? Also, sorry for troubling you but please pick up the anchor too it's very important." Shoji nodded and picked up the Anchor rather easily, of course when you have leverage and lifting strength like that it shouldn't be so hard.

"I... well, I saw you fighting that monster and the sheer destruction it caused, I was able to hear it all go silent and see how badly you were injured with my limbs. I was hoping for the best but... well, I understood the more likely outcome. Also, why does holding does anchor make me feel way stronger? Where did you get it." Yeesh, a bit grimm aren't you?

"Geez, have some faith in a friend will you? But I get it, the anchor is a part of my abilities, it doubles the strength of its wielder. Also, think you could find my arm? Or at least what remains of it? If you could that would be great, since I need that back to use my recovery quirk." Shoji was silenced probably by the fact that I was talking about my dismemberment so casually but he nodded and turned some of his other arms into eyes and noses and started sniffing around.

"You really are a different breed Hakari-kun." Thank you for the compliment. "Still, I'm glad you are oka- doing fi-, alr-, well I'm glad you aren't dead at least." I snorted, promptly regretting it instantly as my spine really disagreed and broken parts of my spine stabbed into my back.

After a minute of searching Shoji found my arm and promptly looked away from it with an audible gagging sound of him suppressing his urge to puke.

"U-umm, Hakari-kun, I think I found your arm, I can't really tell because it doesn't look like one anymore." I tapped his back twice to let him know I wanted to get down, being released I fell onto my feet and stumbled, struggling to maintain my balance. I slowly stumbled toward the torn-off arm before picking it up.

Yeah, you know how you squeeze a tub of toothpaste and it becomes all shrivelled? Yeah, my arm looked like that except for shards of bone sticking out and all digits twisted in the wrong direction.

Gritting my teeth I aligned what looked most like the part where the arm was severed with my little stub for a few minutes while Shoji kept watch and then when Rapid Recovery finally reconnected the two piece-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Hakari-kun! You alri- are you alive?" I didn't even hear him as I bit down on my tourniquet so hard my gums bled, the nerves reconnected and now all other sensations were overwhelmed by searing white hot pain from my brutalized arm.

I writhed the ground and dug my fingers in. Holy shit all of the pain I was suppressing was coming back. Tears gathered in the corner of my eyes, death genuinely seemed preferable now.

All for One. When I get my hands on you, you will beg to end up in hell because the torment I inflict on you will be worse than anything any infernal being could even dream about conjuring.

Good news, I somehow wasn't dead, well, I was standing in the doorway there but Battle Continuation juuust edged me away from the exit.

I slumped against the wall with Shoji keeping watch over me we heard distant booms of All Might taking care of villains around the house. Too tired to even move at this point with most of my actions paralysed by pain I simply waited and bit down.

Soon enough All Might appeared before us, he still looked mighty pissed but still tried to give us a smile but that quickly faded the moment his eyes landed on the sight of me biting down a gag while cradling a brutalized arm.

"Young Hakari... I-" I spit out my gag to interrupt whatever he was about to say and pointed at him with my good arm.

"You will take me to the hospital with your superspeed is what you were going to say right sensei!? Because I am not standing a good chance here with a collapsed lung, my ribcage broken, torn intestines... -fuck it, just know the only unbroken bone in my body is the cranium. Besides, we have something we need to talk about ones and alls." All Might flinched hard at that.

"Young Hakari, I don't think your condition is stable enough for me to carry you, you should wait for-" I cut him off again, perhaps a bit harshly but he should blame himself for his tardiness.

"-Defensive Form will protect me from any further injuries and Expert Wind Resistance makes me nigh immune to any form of wind-based effect of me that wouldn't tear the city off the map. So just please just get me to a hospital or give me enough painkillers to get an Elephant high because I am starting to regret not getting pasted by the Nomu!" All Might nodded grimly and picked me up in a princess carry while nodding to Shoji.

"Thank you young Shoji for helping young Hakari, unfortunately, I can't stick around I have to carry young Hakari to the nearest hospital, please inform the teachers and the other heroes for me." Saying that and seeing Shoji nod All Might took off with a mighty leap so fast the world around us seemed to blur as he rushed out of the USJ.

"How are you holding up young Hakari, I am truly sorry I couldn't be there faster. But what did you mean by what you said." I closed my eyes to take the pain off my mind.

"Worse than you'd think, if I didn't have a proper stack of proper quirks I would drop dead at any second, I don't have any energy left to maintain my quirks yet I still have to, if I let up for a second and pass out I will just pass on instead. As for your old nemesis, I will explain when Principal is also around so I don't need to repeat myself." I said between hard breaths. Battle Continuation worked only as long as I held on, and if I stopped holding on it would lose its effectiveness instantly. I was fighting for my life and I don't think I have it in me to fight for much longer.

Hearing my words All Might sped up, we should be at a hospital in a minute. In the meantime, USJ Should be counted as finished right?

I pulled up the USJ quest notification and got a pleasant surprise. Actually not a surprise, it better fucking give me a good reward for my pain and anguish.

"Argh!"

"Young Hakari! Are you okay!? We are almost there!" All Might asked with concern lacing his voice as I held my chest. This hurt me physically.

"No, I have to choose between two things, and while one is objectively superior I have to choose the worse one because of my circumstance." All Might gave me an awkward look at that. Lost for words.

"Uh, yeah, just, hang on, we are here."

All Might landed us in front of a hospital as numerous hospital residents like doctors and nurses rushed out in front of him with shocked expressions and some people even took photos. I tapped his bicep to get his attention just as he was about to talk to one of the staff.

"Forget any normal procedure, get the staff to gather as much food as they possibly can for me as fast as they can, any normal procedure will just kill me, I got a new ability that can let me survive. But I need you to trust me here All Might. And as strong as many painkillers as they can get me, at least enough to overdose a white whale." I looked into his eyes with a resolute expression and All Might nodded to me with a grim one.

He commanded the staff to carry me to an unused private room while they supplied me with some strong ass painkillers that finally numbed my pain enough for me to gain some semblance of control over my body.

Then the staff rolled in carts of hospital foods that I jumped on, I felt ravenous. Using Cellular Overdrive for that long and stacking depleted all of my energy and calories, I felt like I hadn't eaten in ten days, and considering how many resources I depleted in my body that was probably closer to 20 days physically.

The staff and All Might watched in morbid curiosity and awe as I shovelled down food like Luffy. Barely chewing if any. Even if I felt like I was going to puke I still ate as much as my body let me. I didn't even taste what I ate, fucking damn I miss Toga's cooking already.

Then, when I ate until the point where my stomach bloated I pulled out the Stimpack from the storage and slammed it down on my thigh to the shock of everyone there. The concoction was rapidly injected into my body and I felt the effects instantly.

"Young Hakari what are you doing!?"

"Chill out, it's a medicinal item I got from my quirk. Also, could you guys give us some privacy? Let a guy regenerate in peace please." After a look from All Might they all left as he locked the door behind them.

"Young Hakari, do you know?" He asked and I smiled, I still felt like shit but the Stimpack was quickly healing my body, even if it was quite draining, I was still munching on something while talking.

"Yep, I know about One for All and All for One, you don't have to maintain your form I know about your injury. But I'd rather discuss how the hell I know these things with Nezu in the room so that I don't have to repeat myself, you can just deflate and relax in the meantime while I try to regenerate and not die." All Might nodded and burst into smoke, revealing the form of Yagi Toshinori wearing the oversized costume on his body.

"Got it, I don't want to interrupt or bother you Hakari-kun, I can see how much you have suffered, rest well, I need to call Nezu sensei. Rest well." I nodded to him and leaned back as I took a look at my last two rewards.

First was something that really piqued my interest.

Allows you to "bestow" your abilities to others. Only works on abilities. You need to make contact with someone in order to bestow your ability to them. Once taken back, the ability can't be used for 48 hours, you need at least 1 minute of skin-to-skin contact to take an ability back.

____________________________

Well, that certainly sounds useful, there are quirks I use too sparsely so I guess I can give them to someone who would actually make use of them that I trust.

Those thoughts are for later, with how things are going I need every card in my hand in case life decides to throw me more curveballs.

Speaking of cards. I looked at the Diamond Advantage Ability Gacha Ticket with a pleading expression.

Please just give me something. I have long given up praying to RNGesus and Lady Luck since they are apparently plotting my downfall with the curveballs thrown at me.

Roll it.

I did not even have to think twice. An epic ability, A JoJo's stand ability. An Epic, fucking, ability, I actually got an epic again. Fuck, I would be so hard right now if I could feel my lower body.

You know, maybe getting brutalized that bad was worth it...?

A/N: You can always count on Hakari to hit a jackpot, an Epic is supposed to be a rare-ish drop from a Diamond Gacha but Hakari not only pulls through but also gets one of my favourite stands of all time, time for Dinosaurs baby! Also, he really lucked out with that Stimpack there, he was originally gonna have a longer recovery arc but the Stimpack roll shortened my original plans.

I feel like he deserves it though considering the shit he just went through, there is a reason why I wrote the first half so brutally, what Hakari did wasn't just consequence-free, he truly abused his body until it broke and he is paying the bloody price, the only reason why he is still alive is because his bet paid off. Though I am glad he rolled something like Scary Monsters because that has so much potential for him to play around with, frustratingly until now Hakari just rolled straightforward one-note abilities.

Also, Hakari has finally decided to lock in and made the call to talk with Nezua and All Might, the world(fate) basically declared war on him and Hakari is gonna make it regret that.

Now, the USJ arc is basically over, what did you guys think about it and Hakari's new rolls?
