Chapter 11 - UA High

(I like how people are freaking out over Kaori like she's Kenjaku.)

...

"I don't know Sukuna, I think I kinda got careless in the written test." Sukuna heard Mina's worried voice from the phone as he stared at the strange circular device before him.

'Is this a hologram?' He wondered. This device was placed in the mailbox this morning, none other than UA High School were the senders. Mina, alongside with every examinee in Japan had also received this device.

"You did well, Mina. You're thinking too much." He reassured, hearing Mina sighing audibly. Kaori, sitting at the dining table, watched her son at the living room with an amused look.

"Look at you, Sukuna, reassuring your girlfriend. That's so sweet of you." She laughed at her son deadpanning at her in return. Jin, drinking his coffee, snorted in amusement as he read the lastest news articles on his phone. He, alongside with Kaori were nervous about their son's results although they knew he excelled.

"Oh! Is that your mom?" Mina asked excitedly.

"Yes..."

"Hi auntie!! We're about to get our results in a minute here!" Mina exclaimed as Kaori joined her son on the couch. Kaori smiled after hearing her voice.

"I can't wait to see what you two got." She replied, as Jin sat on Sukuna's left, staring at the device.

"Well this is a little nostalgic, except that they gave you a written letter decades ago." He commented.

"C'mon, let's open already!"

"Alright then..." At Mina's bequest, Sukuna pressed the button on his device. In an instant, a muscular All Might popped out with a huge grin, his powerful physique resembling a classic Western comic book superhero.

"It is I, All Might! I am here to congratulate you, Young Sukuna, in passing the UA entrance exams! Truly, your performance in both the written and practical tests has exceeded all of our expectations!" All Might declared. Sukuna wondered if All Might would be one of the faculty at UA, otherwise there would be no reason he would take the time to record this.

"I also want to congratulate you, as your performance at the practical test has broken our school's record! Take a look at this!" Suddenly, the hologram expanded, revealing a board behind All Might. It was a ranking list, containing their scores of the top 10 students in the practical exam.

Sukuna stared at his name, being at the number 1 ranking, far outclassing the rest of the examinees. 'Villain points and rescue points?' He wondered, only knowing about the villain points earned by defeating the robots, which he had 230 of them. His rescue points were quite high, having more than a hundred points.

"What are 'rescue points', you ask? Well, for your information, the judges were looking at more than people who smash robots! Jumping in to help the others who are in need without thinking twice, fighting the zero pointer without hesitation. I commend you, young man, your actions have touched us! Much more so than any quirk!" All Might then pointed a finger.

"Welcome, to your Hero Academia!"

With that, the hologram disappeared, leaving two parents with their mouths agape and a pink haired teen with a small grin.

This was going to be fun.

...

'I wonder what class Mina is in.' Sukuna thought to himself as he walked into the UA campus. Prestigious was an understatement, it looked more like a utopia than anything.

Sukuna was in class 1A, though he had no idea which class Mina got, with the girl ordering that they don't share anything about what class they had. Mina had passed, and she was a couple of spots away from entering the top ten in the examination results.

As he stood in front of the classroom door, he wondered if there were any giants attending the school, because the door was gigantic, about 5 humans tall. Sliding the door open, he stepped into his new classroom.

"Yo! We're in the same class!" Sukuna blinked as a red spiky haired boy with shark like teeth approached him, an excited expression on him.

"Do I know you?..." Sukuna asked, as the air became awkward. The boy before him bursted out laughing.

"It's me man! Kirishima!" Sukuna blinked again, as Kirishima laughed some more.

"You dyed your hair?" He asked, wondering what brought this sudden change. Kirishima nodded and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah. Just wanna reinvent myself you know? I'm done hiding away when I know I have potential to succeed." Kirishima explained briefly. Sukuna nodded, finding himself respecting Kirishima more, holding him in higher regards.

"Seating placements aren't decided yet, so I guess just sit wherever you want." The red haired boy added. Sukuna hummed as he looked around the room. There were a few others with them, he recognized the blonde boy who approached him during the entrance exams, to which the teen in question waved at him. Sukuna nodded in return before looking at the rest of his classmates.

There was a young man with long blonde hair and a feminine face, the sparkling eyes gave him the appearance of a young prince. Sukuna realized that the man was staring at him weirdly. The pink haired boy just nodded awkwardly before looking at a girl with dark purple hair and flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes.

Sukuna paid no mind to the girl minding her own business. The sliding door opened again, revealing Bakugo stomping in with a brooding expression.

"Shitty tie..." He cursed, throwing the red tie into the trash bin. It seemed the bright red tie, which was supposed to be apart of the dress code, had been antagonizing the fiery young man.

"Tch..." He walked past Sukuna, glaring at him for a second before taking a seat for his own. Putting both of his legs on the table before leaning back, relaxing a little.

"Seems like he's got a bone to pick with you man." The blonde haired boy from before approached Sukuna.

"Name's Kaminari Denki. Just remembered I didn't introduce myself back then." Denki grinned at Sukuna who nodded silently as the boy continued talking

"Glad we're the same class, to be honest with you. At least I have someone I recognize in here. None of my friends back in middle school got into UA..." He grumbled, before returning to his cheerful expression.

"I look forward to our time together." Sukuna replied briefly. Kirishima, standing on the sidelines, smiled as he watched his antisocial friend trying his best to get out of his comfort zone.

"So what'd you think about UA so far?" Denki asked, motioning for Sukuna to sit beside him to which he did. The blonde motioned for Kirishima to join as well, to which the red head gladly did.

"I haven't seen anything that would make me give a comment just yet. It's just like any other school, just the school's motive is different." Sukuna replied bluntly.

"Still can't believe you went in to fight the zero pointer though." Denki brought up.

Sukuna shrugged. "The robot didn't look like it was stopping anytime soon, someone had to do something."

"Mannn... I wish I had your bravery." Denki sighed, crossing his arms.

"Everyone here will have their moment soon enough..." Sukuna replied vaguely.

"No freaking way!!!" Everyone looked at the door, seeing Mina whose bright expression lit up the whole room. Her eyes were staring at one man and one man only.

"We're in the same class?!" She yelled as she ran towards Sukuna who got up facing up.

"Best day ever!" The whole class stared at Mina hugged Sukuna tightly, burying her face into his chest, a huge smile on her face.

"Oi! Get a room bastards!" Bakugo shouted, disgusted by the scene. Kirishima just laughed.

"You lucky bastard..." Sukuna glanced at Denki who pointed at Mina, left eye twitching in annoyance.

"You had a girlfriend and you didn't tell me?!"
