Miyagi Prefecture, Sugisawa Third Junior High School playground.

Lin Yi looked at Zenin Naoya, who appeared there with an air of self-importance, with a puzzled expression.

He could understand why Rōsō placed a cursed spirit in order to ensure that Itadori Yūjin, the perfect vessel for Sukuna, would not have any mishaps.

After all, Lu Suo has only done two things in the past thousand years.

One is to forge bonds with powerful sorcerers from different eras, allowing them to be resurrected in the modern era.

Secondly, he continuously sealed away those cursed spirits he considered to be of decent strength throughout Japan, and then unsealed them when the Death and Resurrection Project began.

Therefore, he could understand why Lu Suo allied with the Four Calamities' top-tier cursed spirits and sent them out to cause trouble. Even though Lu Suo might not have appeared in front of the Four Calamities' top-tier cursed spirits under the guise of Xia Youjie, it didn't mean they weren't cooperating.

But did they manage to lure Zenin Naoya, the young master of the Zenin family of the three founding families, to Miyagi Prefecture? So, has Tōsō infiltrated the three founding families over the past thousand years?

Lin Yi was initially puzzled by Zenji Naoya's appearance, but upon reflection, he found it reasonable.

Because of Rōsō's brain-swapping and body-seizing technique, this guy not only served as a head of the Kamo family among the three starter families, but also assassinated the Gojō family's sorcerers who had awakened limitless techniques and the "Six-Eyed" sorcerer multiple times.

As one of the three great families, the Zenin family is unlikely to escape unscathed.

"Hey, you're Japanese, right? You can understand what I'm saying, right? I'm telling you, this is none of your business. Hand over that kid behind you to me. As for this piece of trash from the Gojo family, you don't need to worry about him either. We're both from the top three families, so I won't lay a hand on him."

Zenji Naoya's impatient voice came from behind, and Lin Yi looked at the guy with a playful smile on his face.

Is Lu Su sending this big fool to his death so that he can make an enemy of the Zen family?

"These folk sorcerers are really arrogant these days. They always think that becoming a sorcerer is something to be proud of. In the world of sorcery, only the three established families that stand firm have the right to be proud!"

Zenin Naoya understood Lin Yi's gaze. As a sorcerer from one of the three great families and considering himself the next head of the Zenin family, he vanished the moment he finished speaking.

Without any dramatic movement, Zenji Naoya's figure appeared anywhere on the playground lawn as if a frame had been cut from an animation.

It appears and disappears at times, and its afterimage and the real body can appear in several locations at almost the same time, like a ghost.

Lin Yi wasn't impressed by Zenjiin Naoya's pretentious behavior. He just glanced at Gojo Tanzaburo beside him. Although he had just defeated the top-tier locust spirit after unleashing a Black Flash Knight Fist, he had also fully recovered his curse power.

However, he was clearly no longer able to fight, and Hisahito Itadori, standing to the side, turned his eyes, trying to keep up with Naoya Zenin's speed.

"Yujin, do you want to see how fast this guy goes?"

"Yes, Mr. Ichiro, although it is difficult, I feel that his movement method is not simply fast."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's lips twitched.

As expected of Sukuna's vessel, meticulously crafted by Rōsō, even before officially entering the world of sorcerers, he has already noticed the problem with Zenin Naoya's movement based solely on his physical talent. With Itadori Yujin's body, he is no less than Tenyū Tyrō, who has achieved the ultimate physical body without any sorcery power.

"No wonder that woman specifically asked for you, kid. Such keen perception? Interesting."

Zenji Naoya's voice rang out from all around. Lin Yi watched as this guy kept moving around his group, unsure whether he should laugh or not.

"Um... before you make your move, may I ask a question? The next head of the Zen-in family is actually doing business because of a woman?"

"That woman's spells are very interesting, and her strength is quite impressive. As the future head of the Zen family, it's my duty to have a child with spells by marrying a powerful female sorcerer. Besides, that woman is quite beautiful!"

Zenji Naoya answered every question, but his hands never stopped moving.

His technique, like that of his father, Zenin Naohito, is a modern technique developed with the advancement of modern technology, called projection magic.

The principle is to refer to the storyboard of a movie and use one's own eyes as the camera's perspective to divide one second into 24 frames, and then preset the actions for these 24 frames from one's own perspective.

And make sure that every movement you make matches the pre-set movements.

Moreover, during the activation of the spell, once the opponent is touched, the opponent must also perform a preset action of 24 frames per second according to the spell's principles; otherwise, they will be forcibly controlled for one second and left at the mercy of the spell.

As a modern art form that emerged in the modern era, projection spells naturally have their merits.

Once the technique is activated, in terms of linear movement, it is only inferior to Gojo Satoru, who can teleport.

Because projection spells can even divide a kilometer into 24 frames per second, as long as the user is familiar with the kilometer route they are on.

Once the distance is increased, the speed will also increase, and extreme speed naturally means extreme destruction.

This is the foundation that Zenin Naoya considers the next head of the Zenin family—a technique born in modern times, giving him unparalleled strength among his peers in the family.

How could I possibly be treated like a clown by an unknown sorcerer from the common folk?

Unforgivable!

He was going to use the speed gained from these constantly overlapping storyboards to make Lin Yi, the sorcerer, feel the ultimate insult!

Power is increasing, speed is surging!

The 24 frames per second made time stretch out in Zenji Naoya's perception. He had already pre-planned the scene of Lin Yi, who was standing there motionless, being brutally beaten by him.

Then, Zenji Naoya felt a sharp pain in his ankle, interrupting his ascent, freezing his movement, and flipping his perspective.

This is the drawback of projection spells.

If the caster fails to complete their pre-set action within 24 frames, they will freeze themselves for one second.

Zenji Naoya couldn't understand how he could be frozen by his own spell until he saw his right ankle, which had been deformed from the impact, and the steel pipe that had suddenly grown out of the lawn.

"Huh? Why is there a steel pipe here? Isn't this the playground?"

Zenji Naoya couldn't understand why he hadn't attacked directly but instead darted around the lawn to show off. He was doing it to make sure there were no obstacles on the lawn so he could better plan his actions from his own perspective.

He doesn't understand.

Why would a steel pipe grow out of the lawn specifically to trip someone?

From Zenji Naoya's perspective, the sudden fall caused everything to spin, but he also caught a glimpse of Lin Yi's strained expression as he tried to suppress his laughter.

Is this guy's technique?!

Zenji Naoya understood, but it was too late.

One after another, copper and iron walls appeared, and stone pillars suddenly appeared on the lawn.

With his body out of control, Zenji Naoya was like a pinball that had been launched into the air, constantly crashing into the temporary obstacles that Lin Yi had constructed in his sorcerer form, heading straight for the goal.

But the next second, Lin Yi's expression changed.

Because Zenin Naoya's figure stopped in front of the goal, not only Zenin Naoya, but even the obstacles that Zenin Naoya had just rammed around were now suspended in mid-air in a state of weightlessness, just like Zenin Naoya at this moment.

This is a gravity-based technique.

Before Zenji Naoya, who was bruised, battered, and suspended in mid-air, a woman emerged from the darkness.
