Maki Zenin is like a person who never gives in. She could have just lived like a normal woman, eating and drinking alone and waiting to die in Zenin's house, but she still took the initiative to go to the technical high school to plan her own future path.
Although Zenin Ogi regarded his two daughters as a stain on his life, Zenin Naohito was quite optimistic about Zenin Maki. With his own efforts, he was close to becoming a quasi-first-class magician.
She possessed the strength of a second-level magician, which Zenin Naohito, as the head of the family, naturally knew. He deliberately suppressed her just to test whether she was really qualified to be the head of the Zenin family.
In front of her was Fushiguro Megumi, who had mastered ten kinds of shadow magic. He was more willing to let Fushiguro Megumi inherit the position of the head of the Zenin family than his son Zenin Naoya, because he inherited the only direct line of magic handed down in the entire family;
It is comparable to the Gojo family's Rokugan's "Ten Shadow Magics".
"I am participating in the [Death and Annihilation Tour], and I am short of a spell tool that suits me. You have collected all the spell tools in the library of the high school, so I came here to get them. Hurry up and give me the key to open the library."
Zenin Maki raised her right hand, indicating that she had already explained the reason and Zenin Naohito could give her the key to the gate of the Kiku.
"Participating in the game of gambling with the god of death alone?"
Zenin Naohito said soberly: "Given your personality, it's hard not to think that you are planning to participate in the [Death and Annihilation Tour] alone."
"give or not?"
Zenin Maki doesn't like long conversations. She is in a hurry. "I will leave as soon as I get the cursed tool. If I die in it, it will be a way to remove one of the stains on my father's life."
"……laugh!"
Seeing that Zenin Maki still had the same personality as at the beginning, Zenin Naohito raised his mustache, raised the corners of his mouth, took out the key from his waist with his right hand and threw it to her, saying: "Go to the Jiku and pick a useful one. Even if you die in it, you don't have to worry about returning it. Just consider it my charity to you."
"Thanks."
Zenin Maki took the key with her right hand and clenched the key to the Jiku in her hand. Thousands of words turned into these two words. Finally, she said "drink less" and set off to Zenin's Jiku to get the cursed tools.
In the Zenyuan family, the head of the family was one of the few people who looked at her in the right light...
"Why are you back, Maki?"
As soon as Zenin Maki left the master's room, she met the person she least wanted to meet in the Zenin family, Zenin Ougi, her father.
"Dad."
Seeing her father, Zenin Maki lowered her head unconsciously.
"I'm asking you, why did you come back?"
Wearing a loose kimono, with her waist-length hair tied in a braid and a samurai sword on her waist, Zenin Fan shouted.
"Come back and get the spell tools, Dad. I'll leave after you get them."
Zenin Maki seemed to realize that she was no longer under the Zenin family's control the moment she entered the technical high school, and should not be as afraid of this bastard father as before, so she raised her head and looked directly into Zenin Shan's eyes.
"…Get it and get out of here."
Zenin Osamu looked at the key clenched in Maki's hand, and went to the head of the family's room to discuss with him the notice just issued by the General Directorate.
"……Yes."
Zenin Maki stood where he was, and waited until Zenin Sen entered the master's room before leaving, quickly heading towards the underground kuran.
"Don't keep yelling at your daughter. After all, not inheriting the technique is innate, and she can't change that."
In the house, Zenin Naohito looked at Shan who was approaching, with his right hand covering his ears as if to say, your shouting is still so harsh even with a door in the way.
"As a direct descendant of the Zenin family, she has not awakened the technique, which is a sin in itself. I have already done her a great favor by not killing them."
Zenin Sen walked up to Zenin Naohito, sat down cross-legged, and talked about the notice issued by the General Administration of Jutsu not long ago.
"..."
After hearing that the General Administration of Jutsu had a falling out with the sealed Gojo Satoru and the recently awakened Natsuro, Zenin Naohito stroked his beard and was unable to speak for a long time.
Although he could foresee that Gojo Satoru would be sealed and the Inspectorate of Jutsu would immediately suppress him, he really didn't expect that they would fall out with Xia Luoluo.
Isn't this just seeking death?
When that guy kills someone, he doesn't care who you are or how big your background is. He seems to be bothered by how troublesome it is to handle.
The Kamo family is a lesson from the past. Now, its head died on the night of the Shibuya incident, and the entire Kamo family has completely declined. It will take at least a hundred years for it to revive, unless the only remaining Kamo Kenji can carry the entire family on his own.
Those old guys who have been pampered to the point that their cerebellums are starting to atrophy are doomed.
This was what Naohito Zenin was thinking deep in his heart. At the same time, he was also considering what benefits it would bring to their Zenin family if they accepted the summer sunset that was despised by the entire sorcery world.
On the crest of the wave, at this moment their Zen Temple family is at the top of the three major families, occupying the resources of the General Administration of Spells, so their statement is naturally very important.
They could say nothing, but if they took the initiative to accept the summer sunset, they would be dancing on the crest of the wave, being watched by magicians all over the country.
Let it be…
Zen Temple Naobi said, "Just pretend you didn't hear anything. This kind of troublesome matter will become clear after this period of time passes."
"How do you respond then?"
"Respond? Just say you're dealing with clan affairs and don't have time to deal with them."
"..."
Zenin Naohito's perfunctory attitude made Zenin fan's eyebrows twitch, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was the head of the family. He just said "I know" and left.
In his heart, he kept asking himself why he was not chosen by the previous patriarch. His technique had a short history, and there was no need to even argue whether it was a technique that was passed down from one generation to the next. Why was he not chosen!!!
In the end, he still blamed the fact that he was not chosen on his children who had not awakened the technique and brought shame upon him. Zenin Naohito had Zenin Naoya who inherited his technique, and his children...
One is a loser whose curse power is not even as good as that of an ordinary person, she has not fully awakened "Heaven and Curse Binding", and the fully awakened "Tyrant Shiji" is two different people! !
The other one has cursed power but no spells, but she is a direct descendant!!
Why didn't any of them, who were born as direct descendants, awaken the "Ten Shadow Magics"? !
If he became the head of the Zenyuan family, he would manage the family better than this big brother who gets drunk all day long!!
Why didn't these two guys who made me so miserable die in the Shibuya incident?
The numerous complaints in Zenyuan Shan's heart were just his daily routine at this moment. He was jealous of his eldest brother who became the head of the family. Seeing his eldest brother drunk all day and thinking about his own diligence, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
In this completely chaotic Japan, the announcement from the Inspectorate of Jutsu would probably not spread completely until the next day.

"Click——"
After arriving in the underground, Zenin Maki stood in front of the gate of Jiku and opened the lock. The crisp sound of springs echoed in the empty underground. As the heavy iron chain was pulled out and thrown on the ground, Zenin Maki pushed open the dark door covered with talisman paper and walked in.
At first glance, one can see many magical tools with special spells stored on the platform. This is the terrifying foundation that the Zenin family has stored for hundreds of years.
Even if the magician declines with the passage of time, these spell tools are different. As long as they are not damaged, they will be stored forever.
It can be said that the amount of spell tools stored in a family represents its true foundation.
Zenin Maki stepped in, picked up one cursed tool after another and began to look at them. Finally, she fixed her sights on the special-grade cursed tools. Anyway, the old guy told her to pick whatever she wanted, so she just took the best one.
Moreover, she possesses her own special-grade spell tools that are difficult to damage, which will be the key to her survival in [Death and Annihilation Journey].
But even though she thought so in her heart, it was very difficult to choose a spell tool that was suitable for her. Basically, it required spell power to activate it. Even if she had a lot of special-grade spell tools, if she couldn't pick one that she could use, it would be no different from a slightly stronger first-grade spell tool.
"锃——"
The crisp sound of metal friction echoed in her ears. Zenin Maki pulled out the long sword inserted in the hilt, looked at it carefully, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She found... the spell tool that suits her.
Because she had never entered the Zen temple's taboo storehouse, she didn't know what the spell itself was, but at least she could use it. As for the rest, she just needed to ask the owner of the house when she returned the key.
As veins bulged on her right hand holding the long sword, Zenin Maki began to swing the cursed weapon in her hand in the Jiku. A silver-white sword light flashed, but no sound of breaking through the air could be heard. It seemed as if the air was split in two, which shows how sharp the blade was.
"...Good, this is it."
Feeling that it was getting more and more comfortable in her hand, Zenin Maki put the long sword back into its handle. Looking at the fluffy red hair on the hand guard and the red cloth wrapped around the handle with faint black blood stains, it was obvious how many people this cursed weapon had killed, and the blood stains that could never be cleaned away...
But it is inexplicably suitable for her at this moment. In order not to die in the [Death and Rebirth], she must cross the road paved with countless corpses and walk a path that belongs only to her.
As the gate of the Jiku was sealed again, Zenin Maki, who had obtained the cursed tool, met her mother as soon as she went out.
"I heard you were back, so I came to see you."
"...Well, mother, I'll leave now."
Zenin Maki, who was not very good at chatting with her family, chose to leave decisively. After all, she really had nothing to say.
"...Leave now and never come back here."
Looking at her daughter leaving, Liang Mengzi saw the independent back of Zenin Maki reflected in her eyes. She felt a little relieved, and left silently only after she completely disappeared.
When Zenin Maki returned home this time, she felt mixed emotions. She couldn't help but be glad that she left here and joined the Jujutsu High School, where she met Panda, Gojutsu and others. If she had stayed here, she herself could not predict how dark her heart would have been.
This place... is really too depressing. To those outsiders who don't understand, the three major families have a great reputation, and it seems that they have always wanted to reach the strength they want to achieve in their lifetime. But precisely because of this great reputation, the three major families will not cultivate waste without potential.
Even direct descendants will be abandoned simply because they have no potential.
When they arrived at the owner's house, Zenin Maki returned the key to Zenin Naohito and asked about the ritual of the cursed tool in his hand.
“…Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to choose this cursed tool.”
Zenin Shinji looked at the cursed tool in Maki's hand, and he didn't know if he was sighing at fate or something else, but she actually chose the cursed tool that was once used by [Tyrant Shinji]! !
Does the incomplete "Heaven and Curse" also desire to become perfect?
Can she completely break free from the shackles of cursed power and become the second generation of "Heaven and Tyrant"?
He said, "The cursed tool in your hand is the Soul-Releasing Sword, and the technique is to directly attack the soul..."
Chapter 249 Sakurajima Barrier
"'Soul-Releasing Sword', originally owned by 'Heaven and Curse Binding' Zenin Jyouji, has the ability to cut off the soul together. The injured person cannot be healed even if the 'Reversal Ritual' is performed. It is very suitable for you, Maki..."
"Click——"
Zenin Maki, who had already left the Zenin family, clenched the Soul Release Sword in her hand, and the sound of the blade and the scabbard colliding could be heard. Zenin Naohito's words echoed in her mind, and she said, "I will definitely return the cursed tool alive, and I will be the only future head of the Zenin family."
There was indeed nothing wrong with what Zenin Maki said. As long as she could kill Fushiguro Megumi and Zenin Naoya, who had the most inheritance rights, she would be the only heir to the younger generation of the Zenin family.
It's just that... without any cursed magic, it's hard for her to defeat Zenin Naoya who has broken the speed of sound. She can't even defeat Fushiguro Megumi, who doesn't care about the position of the head of the Zenin family and feels that his position is a burden.
But for Zenin Maki, none of this mattered. After all, if they died in there, she couldn't return the cursed tools...
Her goal was the Sakurajima barrier of [Death and Annihilation] located on Luer Island. Perhaps because it was the farthest away, she instinctively chose there.
At this time, there were a total of ten death and rebirth barriers in Japan. There were two in Tokyo, one in Kyoto, one in Aichi, one in Kobe, one in Hiroshima, one in Kojima, one in Miyagi, one at the border of Iwate Prefecture and Akita Prefecture, and the last one was in Aomori.
I took out my phone which was already in airplane mode and checked the time;
【16:20:55】.
The only subway that was usually used was closed in Tokyo, and other places were still usable. After all, Tokyo was the only place where a large number of cursed spirits were bred at this time, but who knows in a few days...
Although [Death and Destruction] can be found everywhere, it will take some time for the Japanese economy to collapse completely, and it only takes three or four hours to take the subway from here to Luko Island.
This means that she can successfully arrive around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and then enter the [Sakurajima Barrier] at night.
After making a rough estimate in her mind, Zenin Maki set off. If she didn't hurry up, the whole of Japan might be paralyzed in the next second. The expansion speed of the million cursed spirits in Tokyo was not slow, and the speed of the cursed spirits being bred was getting faster and faster. It was believed that the magicians from all over the world would soon not be able to hold on.
After all, magicians are still human beings, and all humans will get tired. Even if the body will not be tired under the blessing of the reversal technique, the fatigue transmitted from the mental and soul levels is irresistible.
The cursed spirits cannot be completely killed, and the exhausted magicians huddle together for warmth. This is the peaceful and prosperous era when the curse is at its peak...
"This 'peace' is really ironic..."
In November, the sun sets exceptionally early. In summer, the sun sets back to the Jujutsu High School around six o'clock. The sun that was originally high in the sky is now about to set in the west, leaving only a moment of sunset to illuminate the road ahead.
"rustle……"
The cool breeze blew by, and the yellow leaves on the trees fell. I returned to school on a summer day with a few fruits in my hands. I looked up and saw the leaves falling in the wind. I felt a little sad for some reason...
When she was cooking, she didn't see Zenin Maki. Xia Luo, who was wearing an apron, asked Xia Ri Shunhui who was helping to wash the vegetables and learned that Maki had left with the cursed tools shortly after she left. As for where she went, Shunhui herself didn't know.
"It's okay, brother. Maki-san should be back soon. Isn't it time for dinner yet?"
Looking at Xia Ri Luo who looked a little worried, Xia Ri Shunhui who was floating beside her spoke.
"...Yeah, that's right, let's cook first."
On the chopping board, Xia Riyue's hands were busy again chopping vegetables;
He wasn't too sure whether Maki had gone to break into the [Death and Annihilation] barrier alone. Although he didn't want to think too much about it, he had been by her side for nearly two years and knew her personality. He was afraid that she would take it seriously and think that he was holding her back, so she would go in alone.
He could only prepare the meal and wait for her to come back.
"Yohoo! We're here to help."
After washing his hands, Panda hugged Yuta Otsutsuki and walked into the kitchen, and began to organize the food piled on the table. They exchanged glances and conversations about the interesting things that happened to Yuta when he was abroad, and they seemed not to realize that Zenin Maki had been away from school for a long time.
