In The Academy As Sukuna

Ch 19 - Tournament (Part 1) - Whispers of Darkness

"Sometimes the villain of your story is just the hero of their own."

(POV: Ryomen Sukuna)

"If you're in a bus, you see an elderly woman standing, looking like she's going to fall anytime, and you push out someone else from their seat to make room for her, did you do a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Is that how you start a conversation with everyone you meet for the first time?"

I'm currently talking to Eva Helion, the girl I talked about in the last chapter, a few hours ago in my case.

She seemed to be ignoring everyone but actually gave me attention, probably because I have become quite famous.

The news of a person getting first place in the entrance exams, beating the last record by over a minute, had spread out everywhere, especially to other academies.

Well, for the reason I'm talking to her, she has all my attention in his tournament, she seems really strong, like, too strong. Shouldn't the protagonist be the strongest?

She hasn't lost any matches yet, and we are already in the top 200, but the best thing is, she hasn't even tried.

I told my father's subordinates to do research on her, and they found that she's from a family that can considered low nobles, but had some very strong connections. These connections are no longer because...

.

A few years ago, there was a massacre in her family, by an unknown person, in which her parents, grandparents and all other relatives died, her mother's body was found brutally diced, while her father's body was not found.

Even children were not spared, bodies were laid out everywhere, from the grounds, to the halls, to the bathrooms.

Eva survived only because she hid herself on the roof.

Ever since that day, she became distant from the world and trained without stop. Doctors said that this was due to her trauma at a young age.

She claimed that she had seen the person who did this, but refused to tell anyone, saying that she will be the one to punish him. Pretty dumb if you ask me, well, I don't know about my family getting massacred so I shouldn't judge.

.

If you didn't read all that, I'll simplify it, she's a Sasuke.

"No, that's just a question I wanted to know the answer to... Anyhow, cake?"

I held out a plate in which was kept a piece of vanilla cake with chocolate chips on top of it.

I could literally see the confusion in her eyes, how adorable.

Contrary to my expectations, she accepted the cake.

"I hope we meet again, as friends next time."

I said as I walked away, going back to the cafeteria in the stadium, ordering another vanilla cake.

Well, I don't have a match until top 100, so I'll just rest for now.

(POV: Unknown)

I am really frustrated right now, I lost the match, not even making it to the top 500.

I was trained by dad and thought that I was actually strong, but compared to the monsters in the academies, I'm lower than average.

While he, Ryomen Sukuna, has won every match without difficulty, I doubt he would even need to blink to kill me right now.
