Devil's Luck[Arc 5: Worlds Apart]

[Lottery: an ability that gives the user the chance to get a random prize at a certain selected location by the user, which said location is used as the prize pool; anything in the location is a prize; whether it be skills like Judo Mastery, Basketball Mastery, Swimming Mastery, etc. and other stuff like money, bag, notebook, etc. This ability could only be used once a day.]

[Do you want to use it? Y/N?]

Zenkichi stared a good couple of minutes at the floating green screen in front of his face.

He was contemplating on whether he wanted to use right here and now but with all these students and teachers at the side gathered around him, maybe he should just hold it off for now and do it later...

Hah! Nope, the temptation is too great!

[Location selected: Hakoniwa Academy Auditorium.]

'Lottery, activate!' Zenkichi internally cried out in excitement.

Suddenly, a holographic lottery wheel appeared right in front of his face, several different prizes that was at least a hundred set on it each colored differently.

10,000 yen, boxing gloves, pencil, a pair of shoes, glasses, a set of school uniform, Sprinting Mastery, Karate Mastery, Surgery Mastery, and many more were put up as prizes in the lottery wheel.

But what caught Zenkichi's eye the most was the blinding golden colored prize at the top where the red arrow rested, shining brightly like it was the very sun itself.

The End.

'...Ok, what the hell is that? It sounds cool yet ominous, I wonder if its a skill? I haven't heard any item that's called "The End" except for a world ending device, though it probably is or equal in value to it as it's gold. Anything that's gold has to be the grand prize.' He nodded his head. Although he felt excited at the thought of getting such a grand prize, he couldn't help but feel something was...off.

For whatever reason, the name of the grand prize sent a shiver down his spine.

It was like he should've already know what it is...

'Is it just my imagination?' Zenkichi shook his head from any superstitious thoughts and inwardly commanded his ability, "Lottery", to spin the wheel.

There was a ding sound in his head and the wheel slowly started rotating before it started blurring from how fast it was going.

The wheel continued on spinning for a full thirty seconds before it started dropping its speed to the point that Zenkichi could now clearly read the prizes' names the red arrow was passing by.

His eyes were wide in anxiety, not blinking for the entire time the wheel was spinning, which freaked any students glancing his way but he didn't pay attention to them.

This was a chance, a chance for him to live a life that was his own and not of the original. A chance to become someone beyond his past self or the original Zenkichi.

This is his power, a power that only the new Zenkichi Hitoyoshi could have!

[Ding!]

Zenkichi stared intently as the wheel finally stopped as the red arrow pointed straight at his prize.

'This is...?' He looked at his prize with a mixed expression of excitement and confusion.

[The Iron – Iron Skin Mimicry.]

'Iron skin mimicry? Is that it? Does that mean my skin simply mimics iron? Or does it turns my entire skin into iron? Does it also permeates into my entire body: muscles, bones, organs, etc.?' Zenkichi was a bit frustrated at how simple yet so had little information his new skill's description has.

'No, instead of being picky and frustrated at what I got, I should feel happy that I even got an ability that can possibly help enhance my fighting ability. God knows how many abilities there are in the world that's just useless.' He shook his head from any unnecessary thoughts and looked down at his hands.

'The Iron..' Zenkichi subconsciously thought as he watched his callous palms flashed a sheen of grey, turning the skin of his palms into iron.

He looked on curiously as he turned to the back of his hands to see normal skin, veins and fingernails, completely different to his iron palms. He clenched his hands and without even thinking about the name of the ability, just focused his senses in his palms and feeling a strange power circulating around, he opened his hands to see his palms back to normal.

'Huh, well that was easy.' Zenkichi thought as he blinked his eyes, staring in wonder at his hands.

It was weird. Although he only had the ability for just a minute, he could already use it so easily.

'...I wonder if I can use this on my dick.' A strange idea went through his head and he was too curious to just pass it off.

[Ding! The skill, "The Iron", description has been updated.]

'Updated? Hmm, looks like I'll finally look at my status screen now.' The text in the floating green screen in front of his face suddenly changed.

....

'Wait, virtually invulnerable to physical harm? Just how tough is iron? Hm? Savate and cooking counts as abilities as well?'

As Zenkichi was analyzing his status screen, all the lights in the auditorium suddenly flickered off.

All the students in the auditorium all froze, their chatter turned silent, at the sudden darkness engulfing the entire auditorium before several spotlights shot down on a person.

"Do you find the world way too ordinary?" Zenkichi's head tilted up immediately. A shiver suddenly run down his spine as he heard a very familiar voice.

'Is that...?' He turned his head around and his suspicion turned to be correct as his eyes widened a bit.

"Does the future bore you?"

"Are you just getting by?"

"Hmph." Her lips curled up, "Relax, even then, life is dramatic!"

Standing there, centered in the middle of the lights of the spotlights, was a girl that was hot as fuck and could make any male or female be smitten at first sight.

She has a beautiful body that can put any supermodel to shame and especially large breasts, which she has no scruples about showing off with the top part of her chest uniform unbuttoned.

With very long purple hair that reaches down to her waist and bangs that barely overlap her red blood-like eyes, as well as a semi-straight ahoge. She wore a black version of the school uniform.

She walked passed the students with swag, heading towards the stage of the auditorium with a confident smile on her face.

That person, that face... How could Zenkichi not recognize who that is?

"Kurokami Medaka..."

...

At the top of the auditorium.

"Hmm?" A white cloaked individual tilted his head up, sounding confused. His eyes were covered under the shadows of his hood except for the lower part of his face with a noticeable small, vertical scar over the left side of his mouth.

"What's wrong?" A similar cloaked figure suddenly appeared near him through a shadow.

"...It's nothing. Let's go."

"Huh?! We came all the way here because you wanted to check on someone, which you haven't met up yet nor tell me who the fuck it is, and you're already telling me that we're leaving?!"

"..." He didn't reply and stayed silent.

Then he started to sink into the shadows.

"YOU MOTHERFU-!!"
