Chapter 17 - The Tournament Commences

"With this Treasure I Summon . . .

. . . A Time Skip."

After saying that, Sukuna was awkwardly standing in his room with his hands in front of his chest.

"Well that's that, anyways, I should n–"

Time Skip - 3 Months

The Principal of the academy was giving the students a motivational speech in his outdoor assembly area, which was rarely used.

Meanwhile, Sukuna was sitting on a bench on the path leading to the area, holding a bottle upside-down, trying to get the last drops of cola into his mouth.

He had toned out the Principal's speech as it was probably nothing important.

He was more interested in the Hunter Association Leader, one of the few S+ Rank Hunters, the highest rank there is.

Well, he would soon find out, as the Tournament was the next day.

Alexia is being hella annoying nowadays, I know she's smart, so why doesn't she know when to leave someone alone? I mean, I know my charm and smartness attracts everyone, but its too irritating.

I have also shown how smart I am by creating a new skill, which I have not named yet, well its not a skill actually, more like a technique, as it doesn't appear in the skills section of the system.

In it, I send pure cursed energy out, creating a blast, or compress it to create a sort of bullet.

I've been rushing to increase my Cursed Energy Proficiency, but my Cursed Energy Control was pretty meh, so I practiced that for a few weeks, and now I can hide the pressure I used to emit unconsciously, yay, I'm now closer to being a good assassin.

Anyhow, I'm currently sitting on one of the participants' chairs set up near the fighting arena.

Looking around, I see some interesting people from other schools, some weird-ass looking faces, like that guy with no eyes, you know he's strong when he looks like that.

And also this guy who's . . .

'Ryomen Sukuna just wait for me

I'll Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You, Kill You'

. . . . . . looking at me really . . . intensely,

Black hair, black eyes, a little less than 6 foot, a decently built body, but not too muscular, close to average however you look at him, sorry I'm not gay, not for you at least.

(A/N: No gayness in this story dw)

"Please welcome the Head of the Hunter Association, one of the strongest hunters of all time, the S+ Rank hunter, Aiden Arceid!"

The hell's with that edgy name? I know this guy gotta have some dark magic or something.

I half-expected the Head of the Hunter Association to be some 1000 year old loli, but this is much better.

Aiden swipes his eyes through the crowd of thousands of students, they stop for a little while at our main character, but he soon averts his eyes to god knows where.

"I see that many of you will reach great heights" he starts saying in a soothing voice that seems to make the atmosphere less tense.

"Some of you have already achieved great things at your young age" He glances at Sukuna.

"While ALL of you have the potential to do something that will be taught in history books years from now!"

"Even standing here proves that you are the best in the world, so GO ON, PROVE YOURSELF IN BATTLE, FIGHT FOR THE TOP!"

Loud cheers rang out all throughout the stadium, even people watching through the television were moved.

Fight for second place cuz you know who's at first.

The Tournament had commenced, the first few days of the Tournament aren't that memorable, as it is mostly just elimination of the weak, by the time only about 50 people are left, does it get interesting.

Like, the kids here are so weak that I finish most of them with one Cursed Energy Enhanced punch, not even a Black Flash!

Eh, well I've won about 4 matches by now.

Ryogaku and Alexia have won theirs as well.

Oh! And the other two kids that follow them have as well.

The only interesting person I've seen is a girl, with red hair that stands out even though it is not too long, her height is pretty average standing at 5'7", but she doesn't wield a weapon.

Weapons are allowed in the tournament, as there are literally mages capable of healing lost organs in the medical area, but killing isn't allowed.

She always has this bored look on her face, as if doing nothing but a mundane task when crippling the kids.

Her skills are nothing to joke about either, she literally cuts people's flesh without a sword, with a cut as clean as if it were indeed a sharp weapon, it reminds me of my own slashes.

She truly has my interest locked right now.

.

Well, I have decided, when close to only 100 people are left from eliminations, I will do a familiar stunt during a fight, my Reverse Cursed Technique isn't a secret anymore, though, it would've been flashier if it was.

"SHE ATTACKS HIS CHEST GOING FOR THE RIBS, SHE TRULY SHOWS NO MERCY TO HER OPPONENTS"

Well, enough of that, let's eat this new coffee jelly, it says that it has a more intense flavor of coffee, yet it still melts in the mouth as if it were soap . . . that kinda ruined it but fine.

"HE IS ON THE GROUND AS SHE APPROACHES"

Should I buy this pack of 12 small jellies, or this pack of 5 big ones?

"AAAAAND HE HAS SURRENDERED, OUR FAVORITE CONTESTANT WINS AGAIN"

Why not both hehe.

"Ryomen Sukuna, you are . . . "
