My Random Quirk System

"Nao-chan! Genkide yokattadesu! (I'm happy that you're fine!)"

"Huh?"

While Naoyuki was thinking in how convenient it would be to pass a TOEFL exam with high score to get a scholarship to study aboard, a long hair woman appeared in the room, and hugged tightly the little boy before he could say a word.

Thereupon, in the room just remained sobs accompanied by wetness in the cyan patient gown.

Naoyuki can say that he never saw this woman before, but the scent of her hair and the warmness of her body made Naoyuki feel a strange naturalness. His arms reacted by pure instinct to hug her back.

"Okasan? " A silent whisper came out from the boy's mouth.

After hearing the boy speak, the woman cried even harder.

"I thought I would lose you forever! Please, don't do this ever again!"

'What!?'

"Ma'am, the patient just woke up, we don't know his actual state, what you're doing can hurt him." A third voice sounded in the room, somewhat nervous, by the way.

It was the nurse that appeared after the door. She was the person who attended the old man before, and by the situation, she was probably the person that called the mother of the owner of this body.

"Pardon me, I was just… so…" The mother hurriedly released the child, after wiping away her tears, she tried to crack a faint smile in her melancholic gestures to the boy. "Naoyuki, you must be hungry, mama is going to get you some food, is that all right?"

Naoyuki nodded, not knowing what else to say to that woman.

"Listen to all what miss nurse tells you, okay? I'll be right back; I'll bring you your favorite onigirazu." The woman touched Naoyuki's head with delicacy, and then left without taking her eyes off the child in all the way to the door.

It felt like an eternity.

Naoyuki kept silence, it wasn't a joke, he really doesn't know how to face that mother whose child was dead.

It's an awful sensation, Naoyuki doesn't even know why that boy died. The result of that is that he feels like he was the murder of that innocent boy. Naoyuki never knew that his Re:zero would be so chaotic, and watching the woman cry made him feel even worse.

But the nurse didn't think that, she believed that Naoyuki was sad because his mother left. So, she tried to reassure him with irrelevant words, and tried to cheer him up making funny faces.

'A yasashi nurse.' Naoyuki had to say. While he tried to forget that short encouter with the woman that used to be called 'mom' by this body... by the same mouth he's talking with.

---------

After that, the nurse took Naoyuki to do different kinds of medical tests by all the hospital, the process took around two hours. In this time, it seemed like he did everything the nurse instructed him to do, but in reality, all his attention was mainly focussed on the panel that appeared in front of his eyes.

The Nurse even praised Naoyuki to be a really good boy, saying that he was a brave hero that didn't even cry in the blood test. Although, who would know what kind of expression she'll make if she finds out that inside this four-year-old body there's a 28 years old man soul.

"Eto-chan, your mom called to the hospital to say that she'll arrive soon. Don't be mad with her for leaving you here for two hours, okay? You need to be a good boy, after all, she came to see you immediately in her working hours when you woke up." The nurse said when both came back to the sickroom.

Then, she complained in a low voice: "Geez, what kind of irresponsible husband would not visit his hospitalized son after so long. In his place, the poor woman has to run to and fro…"

'So, the mother of this body has a hard life, huh?' Naoyuki thought.

But now, it wasn't time to think about 'his mother', he needs to focus on this bar that took 2 hours to charge, and it may take just a couple of minutes more to be completed.

[Loading… 98%...]

He still has no idea of what this is all about, two hours ago, he was so in shock with 'his mother' appearance, that he missed what was written in the first message.

'Hope this is something good... like my memories or something.' Naoyuki thought.

[Installation completed!]

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

'Oh! So, I do have a system after all, huh? How cliché.' His heart beat a little faster. 'Random quirk system… sounds like it would be based on the power system of BnHA. How does this work?'

After thinking a bit, Naoyuki opened the system as all the MC of novels.

'System'

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

'What's your purpose, what benefits you can give me'

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

"..."

'Hello?'

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

"System?" This time Naoyuki spoke with his own words and not just in his mind.

Nurse: 'What is this kid saying?'

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

'Is this thing broken? Why it is jut repeating [Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]'

Nurse: 'Why he has a so scary face? What's he angry with?'

[Welcome to the My Random Quirk System!]

"F*ck!!!"

Nurse: "Language!"

"Gomen nasai." Naoyuki bitched out.

Nurse: 'OMG, maybe he is angry with his mother after all, what should I tell him so when the mother comes, they don't end up fighting each other… wait, where does this boy even learned those bad words? It's definitely that irresponsible father! Teaching vulgarities to the poor kid when he's drunk!'

[New notification]

'Huh?' Realizing that change in the system, Naoyuki calmed his anger.

[The operator isn't available, please wait 30 years until he comes back from washroom. During this time, the system was configurated into automatic use, any question about the operation of the system, please look at the manual.]

"......"

The just calmed expression returned to its form of anger.

"Fu-"

The nurse scowled at him before he could finish word.

Naoyuki had to finish cursing in his mind.

Nurse: 'Here he goes again, maybe I should bring Tanaka-san of the psychology department, he should know how to deal with angry kids.'

"Eto-chan, wait here a little bit, okay? Onee-chan will be right back." That said, the nurse left the room running.

Naoyuki didn't know what was the reason of her rush, but after thinking a little bit, nursing is a busy job, the lady must have pending job to do, after all, she wasted two hours accompanying him to do his tests.

'I need to tell the mother of this boy to rate the service of this hospital five stars, the personal here really work hard!' Naoyuki thought.

After that, he returned to watch the system panel.

With the message of notification closed, Naoyuki could finally contemplate the true form of the system, it was a really sophisticated high technology-like control panel, similar to Ironman or Nick Fury ones in the movies.

It was in its options 'Attributes', 'Tasks', 'Inventory', 'History' and 'Wheel of fortune'. The last four were completely empty inside, and the 'Attributes' said this:

[Host: Eto Naoyuki]

<—Attributes—>

(The average attribute in a male adult is 5 for all the following, except for luck.)

[Strength: 2] (You can help your mother to carry a grocery bag.)

[Stamina: 2] (You can carry that grocery bag from the store to home.)

[Agility: 3] (You're the fastest kid of the neighborhood, the chances for you to pay a broken window are low.)

[Psyche: 7 (2+5)] (An average kid soul combined with an adult soul, giving gratifying results.)

[Perception: 5] (You're sharp with your senses.)

[Charm: 6] (A handsome kid that all the people want to pinch his cheeks.)

[Luck: ???]

[Current quirk: -]

[Hero points: 0]

------------------

That was all Naoyuki's attributes, nothing was out of place except for the psyche part, the system said that that was a good result, although Naoyuki doesn't know what benefits can a stronger soul bring him… this is not Bleach or Soul Eater.

Other than that, in the bottom of the system, there are some squares that looks like a skill slots bar. Except for the first one that had a '+' sign, the rest of them remained locked with a padlock. Naoyuki tried to slide them, but it didn't seem like it had an ending.

By curiosity, Naoyuki clicked the first skill slot.

And the system opened an extra window.

[Starting random selection of quirk…]

A row of different icons started to roll in high speed, Naoyuki doesn't know the meaning of those icons, but by the colors he could say that some are more valuable than others. For example, the purple icon he just saw have just appeared once, while the rest of icons white, green and blue were pretty common.

The 'gacha' stared to slow down little by little, until it finally stopped in an icon of green color.

[Ding!]

[Quirk selected; your quirk today is…]
