World of Hearts: Linked as One (Book 1)

2-3: The Day Marches On

Ursula Callistis entered the room, gaining the attention of the students. Sanji was already swooning for her, much to Zoro's chagrin. Zoro always felt the need to nag on Sanji's fondness for beautiful women. Sanji's habit of falling for a woman on the spot has put him and the Straw Hats in considerable danger before, made only worse by his 'I-shall-not-hit-a-woman' rule when said woman is trying to kill him and the whole crew. He chose to restrain himself, this time, but it wouldn't last for long.

"Hello, some of you may already know me, but for those of you who don't, my name is Ursula Callistis," Ursula said. "I'll be your English teacher for this year."

"Nice to meet you," the students said.

"Man... Ursula-swan looks cute, even with those glasses on..." Sanji said.

... and here comes the straw that broke the camel's back.

The straw being Sanji's swooning and the camel being Zoro's tolerance for his antics.

"Hey, moron, we're here to learn," Zoro said.

Sanji gave Zoro the death glare. "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that." Sanji said, calmly. "What was that, moss head?"

"You heard me, Prince Dumbass," Zoro glared back at Sanji.

"You will two not do this right now?" Ussop spoke up. "This is the first day of us being here and you guys want us to get expelled already?"

"I didn't start it," Zoro said.

"You were instigating something," Sanji said. "Idiot Marimo."

"You two are hopeless..." Ussop said.

Ai was glad to see Ursula, but seeing her made her think back to Kairi, her master. She learned more about the nature of magic from Kairi and the teachers at Luna Nova. She was more interested in magic than she was in fighting. She remembered her friends from Luna Nova. From her friend Akko, Diana, Sucy, Lotte, Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka. She began to wonder how Amanda, Constanze and Jasminka were up to.

'I bet they miss me and the girls by now,' Ai thought.

Boruto didn't even look slightly interested in learning English.

"Remind me, why do we have to learn English?" Boruto asked Sarada Uchiha, who was sitting right next to him.

"Because you never know when you might find yourself talking to a foreigner from the United States," Sarada said. "Just remember that this is nothing like what we learned back home."

"Yeah, I get it..." Boruto said. "It's just that learning another language just sounds... boring."

"You'll come to like it," Sarada said.

"Yeah, right..." Boruto said. "That is if I don't die of boredom..."

The class began to listen to Ursula as she began to give them a lecture and a quick look at what the students will be learning. After some time passes, the bell rings and Ursula walks out of the classroom.

The next teacher to come in was Toshinori Yagi. He onto the pedestal and looked at the students. He noticed Midoriya and some of his UA colleagues smiling at the sight of him being here. Toshi cracked a smile and took a deep breath.

"I know some of you may already know me by my hero name, All Might," Toshinori said. "But there's no need for any of you to call me by that name. I've already retired from hero work after nearly 30 years of my Pro Hero career. With that said, allow me to reintroduce myself."

His body suddenly became muscular and his bangs stood up straight.

"I AM TOSHINORI YAGI AND I—!"

The transformation broke and he started cough blood, making most of the students (with the exception of a certain few) freak out. He fell down on his knees.
