"Gahh!!"
I jolted awake and immediately sit down, before looking around in panic before calming myself down after a few moments.
'What... Happened to me?... Why am i in a hospital?'
I look down at my arm, lost in thought as i try to recall what happened before i lost consciousness.
'Let me think... Alright! I was walking out on the street after buying a drink from a vending machine, then... What happens after that? I can't remember...' i thought as i scratch the side of my head.
"So you really wake up. It's a miracle that you even managed to stay alive after what happened, Nakashima-san"
Hearing that voice, i look to to my right to see a doctor approaching me after silently opening the door.
"What happened? Why am i here?" I asked.
"You got hit by lightning" the doctor said casually, before giving me a tablet and show me a video recording "As a result, you went into a coma for almost 9 months, with a third-degree burn as an added bonus"
'Damn. So i have like what, less than two months before my second year exam? Great' i thought, letting out a sigh before replaying the recording that the doctor got from a CCTV outside of the nearby convenient store where the lightning hit me.
I was about to fall into the thoughts of lamenting my bad luck, until a detail in the video made my heart skip a beat for a moment.
The color of the lightning bolt is yellow with a bit of orange.
'That... Can't be a coincidence. Or is it?' i thought, before the doctor continue his explanation.
"We thought we have to put you under intensive care, considering how charred you are. But miraculously, you body is recovering faster than our estimation and by judging ny how you're able to sit and grab the tablet, rehabilitation is no longer necessary." He paused, letting me to let his words skink in before continuing. "I've been a doctor for almost three decades, but never have i saw a third-degree burn recover as fast as you do."
Hearing that, my eyes went wide, but i could feel my heartbeat went faster from excitement. I thought for a moment, let out a sigh before looking at the doctor again.
"This is a lot for me to process. Can i have some time for myself?" I asked.
He nods. "Sure. Take your time, kid." He said before turning around and walk away from my room.
After he closed the door, i let out a sigh of relief as i lift up my right arm
With an open palm, i stretch all of my fingers before putting them together in a straight line.
"If it's what i think it is, then..."
I start shaking my arms. And just as i expected, it's starting to become a blur from how fast i shake it.
Excited, i look at the window and had an idea.
'I'm already in the hospital, anyway' i thought as i shrug my shoulder.
Keeping the vibration in my hand steady, i slowly moved my vibrating arm towards the window glass. And just as i expected, it phase right through it, before i slowly pull my arm back as to not broke the glass or risking my arm stuck in it.
I then lay down back on my hospital bed, as i look at the ceiling for a moment to let everything sink in.
'I became fastest man alive...' i thought in my head. But then, a sudden train of thought came in.
Where did that lightning come from?
As far as i could tell, this is purely the world of Uma Musume, not mixed with the DC universe.
'if it's just normal lightning, it wouldn't be enough to turn me into the flash. The 90's flash and the flashpoint movie use lightning mixed with lab chemicals, while CW Flash use the same way but the lightning came from the explosion of Star Lab's Particle Accelerator, orchestrad by the Reverse Flash who at the time was using Harrison Wells's identity'
Then it hit me. In the final episode of CW's flash, Barry Allen threw a bolt of lightning into the sky that splits into three, in order to create the next generation of speedsters.
'but the scene already picked three random people to be struck by the lightning bolt. Unless... The one that hit me came from an alternate timeline, where one of the bolts went out from it's multiverse of origin and went into here instead'
Sounds insane. But considering that i now live my second life, reincarnated as a japanese in the world of Uma Musume with the power of the Flash, the impossible became the only possible conclusion to my situation right now.
Done with thinking things out, i let out a sigh of relief before turning my head towards the window with a smilez as i look forward to the future ahead of me.
'Well. At least now i know for sure that my new life wouldn't be a boring one'
