Chapter 38 - Uneventful Battles

(I'm skipping the fight scenes for the Calvary Battle, sorry but not sorry.)

...

'As expected, no one is going to team up with Izuku.' Sukuna thought to himself as the 42 students were given 15 minutes to find their teammates. His thoughts were proven wrong quickly, as Uraraka approached Izuku, asking to team up.

'If one doesn't know any better, one would think they're definitely dating on the low.' He thought, his Mina side coming out. He isn't one to ship people together unlike Mina, but Izuku and Uraraka do have a lot of chemistry from the interactions he'd seen from them.

"My ship is sailing." Speaking of Mina, he looked to see the girl standing beside him, watching Uraraka and Izuku talk it out.

"Heya! Wanna team up? I'll be the rider."

"Sure." He agreed, crouching down as Mina sat on him, her healthy thighs wrapped around his head. It was at this point Sukuna knew, he fucked up.

'They're squishy.' He thought, enjoying the sensation, subconsciously squeezing it.

"Hey! No enjoying my thighs!" Mina lightly bonked him on the head, an embarrassed blush on her.

"Your son is enjoying this a bit too much." Kano commented, clenching his fist as he watched the scene from the stands, left eye twitching. Jin snorted a little, before glancing to see Maya and his wife taking pictures of the moment.

'What a duo.' Jin mused, looking back down at his son, walking around carrying Mina. 'Though I think they're just lost in each other, if they followed the rules, the calvary position isn't supposed to be like that.'

"Am I heavy?" Mina asked, her self conscious part of herself coming out of nowhere. Sukuna smirked.

"You're as heavy as a hippo can be—Ack!" He grunted as Mina bonked him on the head again, clearly not amused by his teasing.

"Geez woman. Obviously you're light. Why would you even ask that question in the first place?" Mina huffed at his complaining.

"Well, you know girls, always conscious about their weight." Sukuna deadpanned. How would he know that?

"Well you're perfect to me." He muttered, unknown about the effects of his sentence. Mina, flustered, considered bonking him again for being so sweet during such an important moment, but then someone approached the two.

"Yow, mind if me and Jiro team up with you?" Denki smirked at them. Sukuna smirked in return, nodding at the yellow haired man.

"I don't see a problem with that."

...

(skip the whole Calvary battle cuz author doesn't have a single idea about what to write.)

"And your winners advancing to the final event... In 4th place, Team Midoriya!"

"Yess!!" Uraraka cheered, giving a massive high five to Izuku whose grin was as bright as the sun. It was a hard fought battle, but somehow they made it through.

"In third place, Team Sukuna!" Sukuna nodded silently, able to hear his mother and Mina's mom cheering loudly at them. Though he originally wanted to go all out during the battle, Mina advised that it was best to hold off and conserve his energy, since they still have to run the stall, compete in other competitions and also fight in the final event.

Basically the man folded under zero pressure.

"In second place, Team Bakugo!" Bakugo huffed, crossing his arms and walking away to the waiting room leaving behind his team. He looked at his parents waving at him from the stands, and smirked back at them.

"And in first place, Team Todoroki!" Momo sighed, having teamed up with Todoroki during the battle. Though she noticed Todoroki seemed troubled. She thought back to what had happened during the battle. Todoroki had almost used his fire side of his Quirk during a confrontation against Izuku.

"Todoroki, are you doing alright?" Momo asked him, concerned for his well-being.

"..." Todoroki only glanced at her, before nodding silently.

"And with that, the second round has officially ended! It is now 10 a.m. my fellow listeners! We will now be taking a break from the main event! Students are require to take a small 30 minute break before they are required to start operating the stalls! And let's not forget, we also have a lot of side competitions! So let's go enjoy the festival!!!"

"How many of in our class made it to the finals?" Sukuna questioned as he and his classmates gathered in Class 1-A's waiting room.

Izuku, Todoroki, Momo, Bakugo, Sero, Denki, Ida, Mina, Aoyama, Tokoyami, Kirishima, Jiro, and Uraraka raised their hands.

Ojiro stepped up, having a grim expression. "Sorry Sukuna, I initially was able to enter the finals, but I forfeited my position. If I'm going to be matching up with you guys, I don't feel confident at all." He gulped before continuing.

"I'd like to focus on the other competitions, something that's in my expertise. I know you told us to give it our all but look at me... I became a coward at the last minute—" Sukuna silently patted his shoulder, cutting him off.

"It's fine. You're simply choosing a better battlefield. I'm not going to shame you for retreating. But now, you absolutely have to do well in the Disaster Logistics Simulation and the Agility and Movement Trials, you hear?"

"I won't let you down!" Ojiro nodded, a confident smile on his face. Sukuna nodded, patting his shoulder in reassurance.

"Where's Todoroki and Izuku?" He asked, noticing the two of them were gone.

"They went out to have a 'talk'." Tsuyu replied. Momo sighed, shaking her head.

"I'll go find them."

"Don't forget, we open the stall at 10:30, so don't be late." Sukuna reminded. Momo nodded before exiting the room.

"Who are the other three students that advanced with us?" Ida questioned, raising his hand politely.

"Shinso from the General Studies course, then it's Mei-chan from the Support Course." Jiro replied. Sukuna opened the door, motioning them to follow him.

"C'mon, let's get ready to open up."

...

"C'mon kid! You're gonna do great!" Kirishima grinned at a child who looked nervous as he looked at the indoor obstacle course. Currently, Class 1-A was manning their stall, named Plus Ultra Playhouse(Izuku's idea obviously).

Ida was busy briefing the kids on their task, while Denki and Jiro were working on tech support. Meanwhile, Mina, Kirishima and Uraraka was taking care of the kids, boosting their confidence. There were some class members missing, having went to compete in the side competitions. Sukuna nodded to himself, noting that everything was going smoothly.

"Sorry I'm late!" Izuku apologized, running over to Sukuna. Sukuna shook his head.

"No matter, just get started on your shift. Where's Todoroki and Momo?" He asked Izuku.

"After our 'talk', Momo arrived and pulled him aside. Aside from that, I don't know anything else." Izuku explained.

"Set 10 minute timer. If they're not here by then, you go find them. We really need all hands on deck here." Sukuna commanded, looking at the sea of children lining up just to try their stall.

"You got it!"

As Izuku rushed off, Mina approached Sukuna, having heard the conversation.

"Ya know, Momo and Todoroki actually went to the same private school together. So they probably know each other pretty well. And I dunno if you noticed but Todoroki used his fire side just now during the second event, which he almost never uses, so maybe they're discussing about it, I guess?" Mina theorized. Sukuna hummed.

"Maybe... But let's not focus on that right now. We need to make sure these kids have a good time."

"Yes sir!" Mina saluted playfully before walking away. Sukuna stared at her silently.

'For someone with four eyes, you're pretty blind.' Denki's words reappeared in his head once again. Sukuna shook his head, snapping out of it.

Maybe he'll ask her out to the festival with him later.
