Matchups

Getting out of the infirmary, Shun headed towards the place where Sorahiko was to get him the medicine that Chiyo gave him.

Walking through the crowd of people Shun noticed a lot of people looking at him and whispering to each other with various expressions on their faces. Some were excited, some were jealous, but the feeling that he got from most of them was that of awe.

Most of the people around him saw his performance at the earlier events and easily recognized him. Many girls....and boys who saw him up close were excited for a different reason now, and many of them tried to make passes at him.

Shun being Shun ignored them as he had to go to meet his grandfather and get him the medicine and decided to increase his pace.

Soon he reached the VIP section and saw some people guarding the entrance to the room and immediately turned serious.

'They better not be enemies.' thought Shun as he prepared himself for an incoming fight.

"Hm? Do you have some businesses here?" asked one of the men as he noticed Shun.

"I am here to check on my grandpa. I heard that he got sick."

"What is his name?"

"Gran Torino but the seat is under the name of Shun Kazami."

Hearing that the other guy checked the list of people and gave a nod as he found the name on the list.

Turning around the man gave a knock on the door and called out to Sorahiko to confirm if it was alright to let Shun enter.

After getting the approval Shun entered the room and saw his grandfather lying down on the sofa.

"Do you not know the word called restrain?" asked Shun with an annoyed look on his face.

"Ah, Shun good job out there," said Sorahiko with a proud smile ignoring the state he was in.

Seeing Shun Sorahiko sat up and raised his hand. Seeing which Shun smiled and walked towards the short old man and high-fived him with both of them having huge grins on their faces.

"Now take this. Grandma made me run an errand because of you. At least act accordingly and keep restraint when I am not here."

"Yeah yeah, now go the next event is about to start soon," said Sorahiko as he took the medicine from Shun and gestured for him to go back.

Following his words, Shun turned around and walked out of the room.

"Ah-"

But just as he was about to open the door, it opened up on its own making Shun look up only to find a familiar face in front of her which was as surprised as his.

Colliding into each other Shun held Hayasaka, who came in at the same time, by her hand instinctively to make sure that she doesn't fall.

"Sorry."

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault. Thanks for the save though."

"Mention not. Though you would have been fine either way," said Shun as he let go of her hand.

Smiling at him without confirming or denying his statement Hayasaka just looked at him.

"Well, see you later. The next round should be starting soon."

"Oh, sure. By the way, you did great in the matches earlier. Best of luck for later."

"Thank you."

"Say, would you like to hang out sometime?" asked Hayasaka.

Hearing her question Shun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Just hang out or-" as he glanced towards Kaguya.

"Both, but let's just say that I get an extra holiday if we go by 'that'," said Hayasaka as she winked at him.

"Alright then, tell me when you are free," said Shun as he walked out of the room.

Hayasaka went back to take her seat beside Kaguya who looked at her and asked, "Did you ask him?"

"I did, he agreed to meet me later." l

"Good, it will be great if he decides to join us," said Kaguya in a calm tone as if knowing that Shun will accept their proposal.

Hayasaka looked at her friend/master and just sighed already knowing that Shun was not going to accept the proposal. They talked with each other regularly and she could tell that it wasn't in his personality to work for a company like theirs.

'Well, I get more free time anyway so let's not say anything and just proceed with her plan.' thought Hayasaka as a small smile appeared on her face.

--------------------

Finishing his errand Shun decided to go back to the school cafeteria and get something to eat before the final round starts and decided to teleport there.

After he arrives at the cafeteria he soon met Neito who was depressed because of the results of the match and decided to leave him alone for a while.

He soon finished his meal which included a lot of stares from the students from different courses and Bakugo who was glaring so hard at him that Shun was surprised as to how he was not attacking him at the spot.

Soon the lunchtime was over as all the students once again gathered in the stadium.

"Man I am excited about the final round. I watch it every year and this time I get to participate as well," said Kirishima.

"Wait, is it always a fight?" asked Mina.

"The finals are always one on one. They just shift it around a little, like last year was a foam sword fight," explained Sero.

Soon Midnight and Present Mic explained the rules and Midnight took out a box to do draw out the names.

But before she could start two students one from 1-A and one from 1-B decided to drop out since they were under the control of the mind control guy and thought that it went against their pride to fight like that.

Midnight who got excited by the sight of 'youth' in front of her approved their decision and let the two of them drop out.

"Now then, seeing that we have two vacancies let's get the students from the team in the 5th place."

Saying so Midnight glanced towards Itsuka and her team.

Itsuka being the supportive class rep, thought of allowing TetsuTetsu and his team to take their spot.

But before she could say anything her gaze fell on Shun who was looking back at her.

Both of them stared at each other for a while as Shun mouthed a "Just do it". Seeing that Itsuka took a deep breath as she looked at her teammates and said, " Hey guys do you mind if I take one of the spots?"

The girls who were in her team were a bit surprised by her words as they too thought that Kendo would pass on the opportunity to someone else.

But still, the girls snapped out of their thoughts as they happily agreed to let her take one of the spots while the remaining spot went to a pale-skinned girl by the name of Reiko Yanagi.

Finally being done with that Midnight let the 16 students draw out a number from the box to make the bracket for the final event.

Shun who looked at the matchups turned towards his first opponent and saw him looking back at him with a serious look on his face while clutching his stomach.
