Sukuna was walking home from a grocery run. The night sky was nice to look at, but the streets were silent, eerily so. Just then, he heard what sounded like a struggle coming from an alleyway.
He rushed to check it out, stumbling upon an ongoing fight. A muscular man, standing in front of an injured old man, defending him from a couple of thugs. While he commended the muscular man, this could go a couple of ways. Either that man is a hero, or a zero. And Sukuna wasn't about to waste time to find out.
Gently setting down the groceries, Sukuna cracked his knuckles before he rushed towards one of the thugs. Like a gust of wind, he was already there, punching one of them in the gut, knocking the wind out of the thug.
"What the—" A kick to the face knocked the surprised thug out. The last thug had enough time to swing at Sukuna, at least, before Sukuna was suddenly switched with a trash can.
The man yelled in pain as his fist met metal. Sukuna, now confused, found himself a fair ways away from the man. He glanced at the muscular man who grinned at him.
'A quirk that allows him to switch positions of anything? How interesting.' Sukuna smirked as he rushed towards the man again. A reminder that Sukuna still hasn't activated his quirk. He isn't afraid of people finding out, not in the slightest, but because there was simply no need for him to bring a grenade launcher to a fist fight.
When Sukuna's fist met the man's back, the pink haired teen felt like he had just hit metal instead of skin. He saw the man smirk in arrogance.
"Oh? You have a hardening quirk?" Sukuna muttered. The man only smirked in response. Sukuna remained silent as he charged in yet again. Unbeknownst to the man, there's was a rock above him, thrown by the muscular man.
Suddenly, Sukuna disappeared, replaced by said rock. The man was confused before his head was suddenly slammed into the ground by a large hand, a crater created from the impact. Sukuna dusted his hands off, staring at the man unimpressed.
'Pathetic. I've seen stronger.' He thought to himself, reminded of a certain black haired friend with a hardening Quirk. He glanced at the muscular man.
"Nice quirk you have there. Are you a Pro Hero?" Sukuna questioned, taking a wild guess. The man laughed loudly, shaking his head.
"Me? A hero in a society that has a culture built around spectacle? You have the wrong idea." The man replied, slowly picking up the injured old man. Sukuna stared, it seems he has met a person wronged by society.
"I don't see why you couldn't be." Sukuna muttered, trying to make a conversation, approaching his groceries. "If what I've observed for the past few minutes is correct, then your Quirk should be very useful in combat and rescue operations." He commented bluntly. The muscular man sighed, carrying the old man in a piggyback.
"Heh, those words of yours are similar to what I said a few years ago, when I tried to follow my dreams. Well, maybe it was too underwhelming for the evaluators."
"Surely UA's teachers aren't that brain dead." Sukuna raised an eyebrow. The man chuckled.
"I didn't get the chance to apply on time, and even if I did my grades were too shit for the teachers to consider me. Though I did try in a lot of places, but meh, look at me now." The man replied before grinning.
"You don't need to pity me though, kid. I'm living the life right now."
"I didn't say I was." Sukuna sighed. The muscular man walked past him.
"Aoi Todo, what's your name kid?"
"Ryomen Sukuna." Sukuna replied, wondering why the man was talking like they were in some drama. Todo grinned as he walked away without saying a word, but just as Sukuna was about to do the same, Todo called him again.
"What type of girls do you like?" Sukuna paused, glancing back at him with a piercing gaze.
" What type of question—"
"Answer it." Todo interrupted with absolute seriousness. Sukuna scratched his head, a part of him had regretted stepping in to help Todo. Well, he had to entertain him by showing that he was serious. Now that he it was brought up, Sukuna had never thought of this topic before.
'Hm...' His mind flashed to the only girl he knew. Without hesitation, he had found his answer.
"If you're talking about physical appearances, I like girls that have a unique appearance to them, skin tone wise. And I like it when she has healthy thighs and an athletic body too."
"Ho! What an interesting answer!" Todo grinned, giving him a thumbs up. Sukuna reacted with a grunt.
"Farewell, my brother! May we meet again!"
Sukuna stared as Todo's muscular appearance disappeared into the distance. He sighed to himself, rubbing his neck before placing a hand in his pocket.
"Hm?" He felt something unusual in it, before recognizing it instantly. Taking it out, he found himself holding a rotten finger.
"That counts as a major event?" He mumbled in confusion. Every time he received a finger, it always happens after a major event in his life. One time he had received one of these fingers from placing first in the Quirk assessment test. It was a very confusing power up process.
"I wonder why..." Sukuna thought back to Todo, wondering what significance meeting him brought. He shook his head, deciding not to think about it for now.
"Here goes..." He whispered as he opened his mouth, swallowing the finger.
Sukuna brushed his teeth three times once he got home...
