Trust Issues [Twisted Wonderland Various x Yuji!Reader]

Chapter 24

They stood in the middle of a field, away from buildings and people, so not to hurt anyone or anything. "Alright, here are the rules," (Y/n) started as he looked at the eyeball on his hand and Grim. "You are to not hurt or kill each other, I will judge who wins each round and tell you what to do for each round. If any other human or creature comes along you are to stop. If you break any of these rules, you are automatically disqualified, got it?" (Y/n) asked in a demanding tone.

Sukuna only grunts in irritation as his response, that he understood the rules. "Alright, first, we will do the basics of showing off your strength," (Y/n) started as he gestured to a tree. "Hey! You're just going based on your own techniques! That's cheating!" Grim remarked unhappily. "What? The great mage can't do a simple strength spell?" Sukuna mocked as he took over (Y/n)'s body.

"I- Excuse you?! I can do that easily! Just watch and see!" Grim boasted as he walked up to a tree. The issue is, the only thing he knows is fire magic. So, as a result, he tried his raw strength to pick up the tree, which didn't even budge. Sukuna cackled and waited for Grim to humiliate himself further. "Perhaps this was a bad idea..." (Y/n) mumbled, sounding a bit disappointed in Grim. "You know what, I got this in my arsenal!" Grim said as he pulled out a potion he created. Popping the cork, Grim chugged the potion, expecting to gain strength. But, instead, it turned Grim purple.

"Wow, that's some great potion rat," Sukuna said, smirking. "I'd like you to make a better potion!" Grim huffed as he tossed the glass bottle to the side. "That's a great idea! Come on, let's go to the potion's room. Whoever makes the best potion wins that round!" (Y/n) chirped as he took back over, already heading towards the school.

Standing in front of the cauldron, (Y/n) had grabbed some ingredients for them. With the teacher's permission, of course. "Alright, so, for this test, I want you both to make a potion that would let you create ice," he told the two with a pleased expression. "What? Why would I do that? Ice is weak against fire," Sukuna said, scoffing.

"That's the point, I don't want either of you cheating," (Y/n) said with crossed arms. "I do not cheat, a great mage is beyond cheating," Grim said with an offended look. "When have I ever cheated?" Sukuna asked, chuckling. "I can name a few, plus I'm the judge so get to making that potion," (Y/n) demanded the two. "This is ridiculous, I don't need to make a potion," Sukuna grumbles as he randomly mixes potions together.

"You can quit, that would make me the winner, meaning you'd have to respect me," Grim said with a grin as he picked up bottles, trying to look like he knew what he was doing. Sukuna ignores him, looking at the instructions. Instead of reading them, he mixed colors together. The mixture exploded into a green cloud that didn't look right. (Y/n) was starting to get nervous as Grim's mixture had a similar cloud. Sukuna shook the glass container, the color turning to blue. "Hm, I think I'm on the right path," Sukuna said as he added an herb to the potion.

"I swear, if you kill me with this, I will haunt you," (Y/n) said in their shared mind space. "Like your dumbass hasn't haunted me enough as is," Sukuna replies in his mind. "I'm done," Grim announced with a confident look. With one last pour, Sukuna also finished his potion. "I'm done as well," Sukuna said, confident.

"Alright, you both are to drink the potions, if you create ice you win this round," (Y/n) informed the two. Sukuna drinks the potion he created and waits for the result. He held out his hand to create some sort of ice, but nothing comes out. Sukuna frowns and looks at his palm. Did he make a mistake in creating the potion? "What the fuck?!" Grim exclaimed in alarm. Confused, Sukuna turned towards Grim and noticed that he can see the feline face to face.

"What nonsense is this?!" Sukuna exclaimed as he looked at his body. Why is he this tiny?! Why is there a tail attached to him?! "Bahaha! You turned into a cat! Hahahaa!" Grim laughed as he pointed at Sukuna. Without hesitation, Sukuna launches at Grim and starts choking the hell out of the repulsive feline. "Gha!" Grim cried as he clawed at Sukuna's hands. As Grim fought for his life, Sukuna waited for (Y/n) to tell him to stop, but strangely he was silent.
