EDIT: 19/07/2018

I binge-read Boku no Hero Academia when I was having trouble writing Eine Kleine's chapter 8 and this idea popped in my head.

One thing before you read, I ask that you please, please don't take this story too seriously! This story was originally meant to be somewhat of a crack fic, even though now it grew a more serious plot the first two chapters are not meant to be taken seriously. There will also be no bashing and no romance, but I might change my mind for the latter.

If you're fine with this, then I hope you enjoy!

No. 1 Easy Life

Ibuki Ryouka behaved unlike the usual children would behave.

She was quiet and expressionless, composed and mature, and she possessed knowledge that far greater than what she should have known at her age. Her parents were baffled by her behavior, but in a world filled with people possessing weird and unique Quirks, they decided that their daughter was just one of the special ones and thought nothing of it.

While it was true that Ryouka was a special one, it was not because of her Quirk. She actually possessed a normal one, albeit quite rare, that was a healing power in the form of her breath. No, she was special because she was the 27th reincarnation of the great hero of another world, once known as Harry Potter!

Her composure and maturity was actually not what they seemed, for they were actually the manifestation of her jaded and tired soul that would like nothing to do with the world ever again! Why, you ask? Because each time she was reborn, it was always for a great purpose like vanquishing dark lords, stopping a war, saving the world, and the likes and she was tired of it! She grew tired after the 20th time she got reborn! There was only so much that a person can take before she got tired of it, damnit!

Okay, she realized that wherever she got reborn to, her magic always followed her and that's why the people sometimes ended up seen her as a symbol of hope and salvation in her previous lives, but here, in this world, everyone had that power. Quirks, as the people of this world called that power, was something that almost everyone had. Each Quirks are unique and strong in their own right, so Ryouka thought that 'this time, there was no reason for me to get involved!' and decided to sit back and enjoy the show.

Let others do the flashy save-the-world thing—she's going to have an easy life from here on and hoped that when she kicked the bucket again she'll just stay dead like everyone else did.

That was the reason why when each and every one of her classmates were striving for U.A. and other hero academies, she decided not to follow in the trends of becoming a Hero and applied to a normal high school like the unambitious hag that she was.

"But, Ibuki-san, with your Quirk, you could have saved many lives!" Everyone asked her, and she would always answered them flatly, "I know, but too bad I wanted to be a novelist."

Right. It wouldn't do if any of those so-called Villains noticed her weird-power-that-was-not-a-quirk and decided to recruit her. Or stole her power. Or something.

She was almost 100% sure that somewhere out there exist a Quirk that could stole other people's power. She have like, more than 100 years of experience as a closet Amecomi and manga reader to be able to make that prediction and be sure of it, that's why she promised that she would lay low and never use her magic or her Quirk in front of anyone. Even if she was obliged to register her Quirk, with time, everyone will forget that she existed at one point. Yes, her plans are fool proof.

And, why a novelist, you ask? It's because this was an easy way to earn money! She got a lot of interesting tales to tell from her previous lives that could be put into words and sold to the masses. In fact, she had done this a few times before, and her "Harry Potter" series was a big hit at one point in one of her previous life. For someone who was aiming for an easy life, this occupation was the best for them.

You must have thought that, "wow, this how could Harry, the great savior of the wizarding world, could be reduced to this sleazebag" by now, right? But you don't understand what she felt! No you don't!

The first few times she had been reborn might have been a bit fun amidst all the confusion and her efforts to 'solve the mystery' of her being reborn again and again, but after the 15th time, she was just too tired and bored to even care about these things. She didn't even kicked a fuss over being born as a girl again this time, because she had been born as a girl for far too many times for her to feel annoyed over it anymore! She was just that jaded! Jaded!

So, okay. By now you have realized that Ryouka was not as mature and composed as she appeared to be on the outside. In fact, because she lived too much, she was actually very prone to little outburst and temper tantrum just like a little child, but she was forcing herself to be expressionless and quiet so that people wouldn't notice her and she could have her easy life. Of course—

"Watch out!"

Ryouka glanced towards the road where a car was going out of control and—ah, it hit a person. That was really gruesome, ew. Not her problem though, she was late for school already. Yeah, so she started to walk again, determinedly ignoring the panicking voices of the people around her.

"Oh my god, he's being crushed, is there someone with a strengthening-type Quirk? Please lift the car! He won't make it if we wait for the heroes to come!"

Yeah, not her problem.

"Is the driver okay?"

Totally not her problem.

"The poor guy is losing too much blood! Is the ambulance still not here yet?"

Not her problem...

"Hiroto! No, hold on! You can make it...! Please...!"

Not her...

"Papa! Papa don't die, please...! Don't leave Mari...!"

Oh, goddamnit.

Ryouka turned on her heels and began to run towards the commotion, cursing her hero complex all the way there. She had been walking away quite far from the scene just now, so it took her almost 30 seconds before she reached the place.

When she arrived, she saw that the car had been pulled out of the man by a bear-like person (the guy literally look like a bear though, holy shit) and everyone was hovering near the near-hysterical wife and her crying daughter not knowing what to do to save the dying man. Inwardly cringing, Ryouka tapped the wife's shoulder to catch her attention.

"I need permission to heal your husband," she told the crying woman whose eyes sparkled with hope as the words finally registered to her head. Ryouka fought the urge to visibly cringe because wow, that look she was giving her was giving her a goddamn war flashback.

"Y-you can do it? Y-you can save Hiroto?" The wife asked her, voice shaking all over. Ryouka shrugged and nodded at her.

"Yes, but you might not like how I do it," she said lowly, making sure that the woman understand her words, but the woman just clasped her hands and shook her head at her.

"I don't care how, please save him! I beg you!" The woman cried and Ryouka almost cringe again.

Alright. Don't say I didn't warn you, she thought as she pulled her hands back from the woman's surprisingly tight grip. Without further ado, Ryouka straddled the dying man's body and took a deep breath, ignoring the strange noises the wife were making and pressed her lips onto the dying man's before she breathed out slowly, releasing her power onto the dying man's body.

Before the spectator's very eyes, the now-not-dying man's body began to mend itself. His muscles knitted themselves in seconds and his wounds closed before their very eyes, and then not even 10 seconds later, the man had regain consciousness.

"Mm... mmmfff?!" The man said and, oh that's right. She hadn't removed her lips yet.

With a final blow of air to the man's lungs (for good measure), Ryouka pulled away and wiped her lips with her uniform sleeve.

Ew, blood, she thought as she wiped her tongue also on her sleeves.

She looked down on the man who was blushing up to his ears and with deadpan expression on her face, she got up and brushed her skirt which was thankfully clean because they were so short it should have been illegal (but apparently not). Her knee-high socks and shoes unfortunately didn't share the same fate as they were drenched by blood. It was disgusting.

Not waiting for a reaction from the wife or the man or anyone, Ryouka walked away from the scene, rubbing the couple's kid's head on the way because that kid was the only reason she even bothered to do this when she was already late for school, leaving bloody footprints in her wake.

"W-wait, how can I thank you?" The wife's voice called out to her as she walked away, and coolly, without any expression on her face, Ryouka said to her, "By not holding me back. I'm already late for school," and continued to walk on, leaving everyone present love-struck by the cool sight of her back, not knowing that a certain old lady was smiling up at her from amongst the masses.

Ryouka didn't know then, but that day, her dream of having-a-life-so-easy-she-wouldn't-have-to-lift-a-finger was crushed in a single moment because of the hero complex that she didn't manage to curb in all her 27 lives.

Too bad for her she made a huge blunder.

No. 1 Easy Life – End

Original ending note:

Okay, so. Harry's a girl this time. I never thought the day where I make a story with a girl!Harry and not-Harry!Harry will come, but here I am, breaking two of my own vows on 'the stories I will never make EVER'. But anyway! Regarding Harry's name, Ibuki Ryouka:

【息吹】Ibuki used the character for breath and blow, while【涼佳】Ryouka used the character for refreshing/cool and beautiful/excellent. I picked this name with her Quirk in mind. I was going to use【癒夢】Yume (character for healing and dream) but Ryouka sounds prettier so there.

Thanks for reading!
