『Hakari Kotaro』
Thump! Thud!
"You are covering too much of your vision, focus on evasion, not blocking, never try to block a quirk that you don't know the effect of."
My vision spun as a solid jab was landed on my jaw, but I didn't go down on my knees, I tried to create some distance to re-focus my Hemokinesis but Aizawa did not give me the reprieve as he closed the distance, going into my guard and lashing out with a kick to my knee that felt almost like a sledgehammer that put me on the ground.
"Backing off guard, but don't just back off, try to strafe, or duck under their blindspots, chances are, villains are going to have range longer than their arms."
Huff Huff
I breathed heavily on the ground, and Aizawa seemed to think that was enough as he walked to the side of the ring and grabbed a water bottle that he tossed my way. I grabbed it out of the air and opened the cap before drinking greedy gulps of the chilled water.
"You did pretty well Hakari, never did I think you'd willingly approach me for help."
"Yeah... me neither."
A ghost of a smile touched Aizaawa's lips, probably because he got the right to beat the piss out of me legally and with permission. Something he no doubt had wet dreams about ever since meeting me.
Currently, Aizawa and I were wearing tanktops and shorts in the middle of a fighting ring in the teachers' dormitory and training grounds of UA. My body was littered with bruises and I felt like I got ran over but, I made use of Hemokinesis to speed up the healing of my body as I sat down and had a breather. Control over your very lifeblood opened a path to powers many would consider... unnatural.
After my date with Aiba, I had gone back UA the morning after and while I kept in contact with Aiba through my phone. I decided to do something about my weakness after getting put through the wringer by bad touch man. I couldn't stay complacent; something needed to change.
So, I swallowed my pride and asked for help.
That's right, I asked my least favorite homeless teacher, Aizawa for help.
I say this with a heavy heart, but I... guh... I... respected Aizawa now.
Say what you want about his prickly demeanor, but it takes a real man to use your quirk to save your least favorite as your head is actively being slammed into pavement by a Nomu. And I could respect him for that. And not only that, but the dude was putting in insane work against dozens of villains.
Yes, I could do the same thing to the same batch of villains, but definitely not without my quirks. I had a toolbelt of quirks to help me, he had bare hands and their lacks of quirks and nothing else. So I am willing to admit that I respect Aizawa.
Thus, I decided if there was anyone that knew about bulking up and combat, it was him. And thankfully, he begrudgingly agreed to help me train and that's how we ended up in the Teacher's training grounds. Beating the shit out of each other.
...Alright, each other may be exaggerating. More like him beating the shit out of me and me landing the occasional lucky shot on him. He had similar physical stats to Shigaraki, but unlike Shigaraki he was fluent in the language of breaking someone's body so thoroughly that even they are impressed.
The biggest surprise of all of this was that Aizawa was actually a good teacher. When he was actually teaching a field he was good in and where his paranoia was actually warranted. That being close combat.
He helped pointed out the flaws in my style and how to handle different kinds of quirks and what stances helped with who. And I also used the opportunity to experiment with Greater Hemokinesis. Once again, I was stealing from Choso's notebook.
"Up again for another round? Alright."
Aizawa took a few steps back upon seeing the light in my eyes and stood at a ready stance as I primed my abilities. The blood in my body started flowing faster and started acting more efficiently, my heartbeat sped up, and my body warmed up. My senses expanded and I felt invigorated.
'Flowing Red Scale'
Using Greater Hemokinesis like this increased the physical performance of my body to great levels. I moved forward, chasing after Aizawa as he quickly sidestepped a lunge and grabbed my wrist for a takedown, but the moment he did, I let some blood break through my skin and coat my wrist, forming it into spikes, but he let go just in time to avoid his hand getting pierced.
I'd prefer if I could use Candy Paramecia and Hemokinesis together but there was the problem of multitasking. Using both was like trying to rub my head and pat my belly at the same time. If I tried to use both at the same, I'd be using both worse than a single one, or at least at my current proficiency.
He moved with a low sweep, but I saw it coming with [Piercing Eyes] increasing my visual acuity, I stepped back a step and moved forward with a front kick, but almost faster than I could perceive with even Piercing Eyes active, Aizawa grabbed my leg and slithered like a snake, putting me into a leg hold and pinning me down.
Tap tap tap
I tapped out and he released my leg. I let go of Flow Red Scale and got up onto my feet, feeling a little miffed. I knew Aizawa was good, but this made me feel almost incompetent.
"Don't compare yourself to me Hakari, I have been doing this for over a dozen years. For your age, you are doing... great."
With the way he said great, it felt like he took actual mental damage for having to compliment me.
Just as we moved to break with my body soaked in sweat. Someone entered the room.
"My my~ I didn't expect to be with such eye candy right after entering, I like it."
My head snapped at the speed of lightning towards the source of noise upon hearing the seductive voice of a woman. And I saw Midnight standing at the entrance of the gym with an appreciative look, looking at me as if I were a fresh slab of raw meat being dangled in front of a wolf.
...Huh, so that's what it feels like to be on the other end of it.
Two can play at that game.
"Me neither."
I leaned on the post and winked at Midnight, who smirked widely, as if I made her day. She was dressed in a sexy as hell outfit, no doubt prepared for her own workout, with a loose white tanktop and short dolphin shorts. She walked closer with her hands on her hips.
"I didn't expect to see you here Hakari-kun, but I'm glad I did-"
Slap.
The audible sound of someone facepalming echoed out as Aizawa groaned.
"Damn it, I should have known it was a bad idea to let you two meet outside of class. Midnight, don't flirt with your students. And Hakari, don't flirt with your teacher."
I crossed my arms.
"Sensei, I find that as a violation of my rights."
Midnight smirked again and copied my motions, crossing her arms in sync, pushing her voluptuous breasts in the process. it seems like were both in sync in wanting to make Aizawa suffer.
"See Aizawa, he does not mind, what's the harm?"
Aizawa looked like he wanted to dig a hole in the floor and throw both of us inside of it.
"The harm is to my mental health. Hakari, we are continuing, if you are taking lessons from me, the rule is not to flirt during them."
This time, Midnight giggled while I groaned. But as much as I loathed to admit it, I had to listen to his rules, he was the one going out of his way to teach me, and so I had to respect his instructions.
Midnight patted me on the back and gave me a slight smile.
"I'll leave you two handsome boys be, Hakari, if you ever want a... private lesson together just like the one you are having with Aizawa, all you have to do is just ask."
"Understood, Sensei, I definitely will."
She smiled and started walking away with an exaggerated sway of her hips, but as I watched I was suddenly interrupted by the slap of leather gloves being thrown at my face.
"You can continue being a pervert after making sure you won't die in the field, Hakari."
Uh oh, seems like I annoyed Aizawa a bit too much.
...
Rather predictably, I got my ass beat.

『Hakari Kotaro - Tomorrow Morning』
"So this is your new office Hakari-kun? I like it."
"It's not his office, young lady, but yes. He will be staying in here quite a lot."
Recovery Girl and Toga lounged on chairs as I took stock of everything of in the Nurses Office while they watched. A vein popped in my head.
School had finally resumed after the terrorist attack, and what was my reward for surviving USJ other than my beloved gacha? Getting to come to school extra early to help at the Nurses office of course!
"...Why am I the one taking stock of everything? Even better, why are all of these called names that are longer than my name and surname put together...!?"
Recovery Girl wore a mirthful smile full of vindication as she rested on her chair, enjoying the sight of me putting in all of this work a bit too much.
"Because you are the official Nurse's Assistant, Hakari. And you have to know everything there is to be done here when I am not here and enjoying my well-earned breaks. One of those duties is knowing exactly how much of everything is in the office. And because I'm not doing it myself when I've got an assistant to help with it."
Darn old lady.
But this is what I signed up for, so I cannot voice my complaints.
"And why are you here Toga?"
My irritation was palpable as Toga sat on the bed and watched me jot down annoyingly complex medicine names on a notepad.
"I'm keeping you company, Hakari-kun! I didn't want you to feel lonely, and I wanted to see our hot new nurse. The beds are really comfortable too."
Watching both of us with warm eyes, Recovery Girl shook her head with a fond smile.
"Youth, it never changes. Just don't get wild in this room. Anyways, Toga-chan, you should probably head to class now. I already got permission from Nezu to take Hakari away for a few classes to teach him myself but that does not apply to you young ladu."
Toga pouted but got off the bed regardless.
"Fine~ see you later Old Lady, Hakari-kun, I'll come during breaks!"
With that she skipped out of there while Recovery Girl watched with an expression of amusement.
"What a nice young lady. You better not make her sad kid."
I gave her a deadpan look.
"You think I don't know that? I don't need you to tell me."
She made an amused sound and jumped off her chair and tapped my back with her cane.
"Alright dearie, quickly finish your stock taking then we can start on your duties proper."
I sighed but still agreed with her and kept taking notes. But while this was tedious as hell, there was an upside.
Feat Achieved! Officially become the Nurses Assistant at UA
+1x Silver Ability Gacha ticket
Yes... Perhaps being a nurse won't be so bad.
A/N: I cannot believe this, the day has come, pigs are flying and Hakari is actually getting along with Aizawa, it is fun to write their dynamic and Hakari getting more deeply involved with the inner circle of UA. And Midnight finally makes her appearance that hopefully left an impression. What did you guys think about Hakari and Aizawa's blooming not friendship? I'd love to know.
Nurse Hakari is in the house, and he is going to be prescribing girls 20 doses of hot love making left and right. It will be fun writing this ex Yakuza having to work as a stand in nurse, thankfully it is a position that opens many doors. The girls are not ready for a hot man taking care of them when they are injured or sick.
