From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Although the progress in cultivating spell power is still slow, Zenin Tachibana, who is already six years old at this time, combined with the information he has collected from the Zenin clan over the years, has slowly figured out his way to the top of this world!

It all started three years ago, in 2006...

The Tyrant of Tianyu - Fushiguro Shigeki, this name frequently appeared in the mouths of the members of the Zenin clan three years ago. Some people also called him - Zenin Shigeki!

In their mouths, Fushiguro Shier is such a man...

Because of the influence of heaven and curse, he was born without any curse power, but heaven is fair, and in return he was given an incomparably strong body and super athletic talent.

His five senses have also been greatly enhanced, far exceeding those of ordinary people. With his extreme sense of touch, smell, and hearing, he can even feel the actions of cursed spirits without relying on vision. Although he cannot harm cursed spirits without cursed tools, he still has extremely strong combat power when fighting against sorcerers.

However, due to the tradition of the Zenin family, this man was destined to have a miserable childhood, just like Zenin Maki at this moment. No!

The Zen clan treated them even worse, some even worse.

Discrimination, abuse, beatings and abuse were commonplace. In his youth, the Zen temple was even worse, and he was even locked up by his clan members in a room full of cursed spirits...

It was this move that finally awakened the Tianyu tyrant!

After killing all the cursed spirits imprisoned in the room, Shen Er rushed out of the room and directly slaughtered more than half of the members of the Zenyuan clan. Afterwards, Shen Er left the Zenyuan clan...

However, the Zenin clan, one of the three major families in the world of sorcery, had no way to deal with this man.

And the name Chanyuan Shen'er has gradually become a taboo within the Chanyuan clan!

Until three years ago, this man died, killed by a man named Gojo Satoru.

The taboo was broken, and after this battle, Gojo Satoru became the undisputed number one in the world of sorcery!

...

"In the future, I should be able to become a stronger version of Fushiguro Shiori, right?"

"Gojo Satoru, can you kill me?"

Zenin Ju, who was only six years old at this time, couldn't help but think in his heart.

Chapter 3 Dumb?

In Zenin Tachibana's plan, the path to the top is like this.

He mainly uses breathing techniques to strengthen his body, but he also cannot give up the practice of spell power and the research of techniques. The abilities of a sorcerer that he must master include the end point of the technique - "field"!

Speaking of this, we have to mention the field.

...

"Field" is the end point of the technique, and the end point of the technique is the "field"!

To open a domain, the sorcerer needs to fully master his own "technique". Most sorcerers cannot open a domain in their lifetime, and after opening the domain, the user's own spell power will be greatly consumed.

However, in its own field, the "technique" has a 100% hit rate rule, and the effect unfolding in each field will also cause different effects depending on the caster's own technique.

Moreover, within their own field, the spells of the sorcerer or cursed spirit will be greatly enhanced!

In other words, if someone covers Zenin Tachibana in the field, Tachibana will also be affected by the effect of being forced to be hit by the spell.

However, the owner of the Heaven and Curse Binding, Fushiguro Shinobu, cannot be locked into the field due to his own zero curse power, and the effect of forced hit has no effect on Shinobu either.

If Zenyuan Ju wants to solve this problem, he can only do so by mastering the "field".

For Zenin Ju, this is also an ability he must master, otherwise he will be very passive when facing those sorcerers who have mastered the "field", or the cursed spirits who have mastered the field!

Fortunately, sorcerers or cursed spirits who have mastered the field are extremely rare. Even Naohito Zenin, the head of the Zenin clan, one of the three great families, has not mastered this skill.

Zenin Tachibana does not need to worry about the "field" which is the end point of the "ritual", and he also has his own guesses about how to open his own field.

Since Zanpakutō is the embodiment of his "jutsu", then why can't the Bankai - the infinite world - that he mastered in the world of Death in his previous life be materialized as his "domain"?

only...

Or because of the low magic power, Zenin Tachibana was unable to try it.

-

"Ju, it's time to eat. Today your mother has prepared your favorite pork bone ramen for you!" Zenin Ju's second sister, the seven-year-old Zenin Mayi, skipped to Ju's side and said softly.

Zeninju looked at the little girl and nodded. Then he reached out and rubbed Xiao Zhenyi's head. Then he stood up and walked into the house from the wooden stairs outside the room.

To be honest, tonkotsu ramen is not his favorite...

It was just because in the Zen clan, the three siblings, including their mother Zen Yousha, were not of high status, so their monthly meal standards were fixed, although they would not go hungry.

But don’t think about how good it tastes!

Their "father" Zenyuan Fan does have a very high status, but it's a pity.

Chanyuan Shan would never bring them to the dinner tables of the family's top leaders.

Just because these three siblings, and now their mother as well, are the ones who bring shame to Chanyuan Shan in his eyes!

The sisters Maki and Mayi were born in the same year when the previous head of the family grew old and chose the successor to the Zenin family.

The birth of this pair of "twins" dealt a fatal blow to Zen Temple Fan!

Just because they are twins in the world of curse, it is an "ominous" sign, and the two sisters Maki and Mayi are also "competing for honor". One is a Muggle with almost zero cursed power, and the other has very low cursed power. The magic techniques detected later are not the ancestral techniques.

At this time, the head of the family, Zenin Naohito's son, Zenin Naoya, is a man who inherited the Zenin family's ancestral technique of "projection spell"!

Comparing the two, the Zen fan falls into the inferior category.

In terms of ability and spell skills, Zenin Osamu thinks he is not inferior to his brother, Zenin Naohito, but his descendants are not up to par...

As for the position of the head of the family, the answer was revealed later. It was his elder brother, Zenin Naohito!

How can Zen Fan not be angry when you say this?

In fact, to be honest, after years of eavesdropping through the "Infinite Perception System", Zenyuan Jue came to understand the reason why Zenyuan Shan missed the position of head of the family.

but!

This cannot be a reason for Zenyuan Shan to treat the three siblings and their mother so harshly!

So he couldn't escape the severe beating from the Zen monk.

Zenyuan Ju still has the same attitude towards him: I am still young, but I will change when I grow up...

-

Seeing his younger brother Zenyuan Ju imitating his mother's actions and rubbing his head, Zenyuan Zhenyi was so angry that he stomped his feet!

But there is no way, only she, the second sister, knows...

The strength of my little brother Zenin Tachibana is not weaker than that of my big sister Zenin Maki!

She really had no strength to resist...

Zenin Tachibana walked into the house, nodded to her elder sister Zenin Maki and her mother Zenin Arisa who were sitting at the dining table, and then sat down in her own seat.

...

Yes!

Zenin Tachibana is pretending to be dumb... and he has been pretending for several years...

Asked to call the two little girls "sisters", Zenyuan Ju couldn't do it, and what made him even more disgusted was that he had to call that guy Zenyuan Shan "father"!

Zenyuan Ju, who was only one year old at the time, thought of this.

He immediately added a "setting" for himself: yes, he is a mute and was born unable to speak!

You asked when to start speaking, and when “changes will occur when one is strong”.

Zenyuan Ju has not spoken in the past few years, which has made his mother, Zenyuan Yousa, very worried.

She clearly remembered that before Ju was two years old, he often stayed by her side, crawling and babbling. How come he just refused to speak as he grew older?

One can imagine Chanyuan Shan’s mentality regarding the fact that he had another “dumb” son.

Of course, he was not distressed that his children could not speak. He just became more and more disgusted with these children who brought shame to him, and their mother - Zenin Yusa!

Even the idea of ​​finding himself a new wife and giving birth to an outstanding offspring had begun to emerge in Chanyuan Shan's mind.

Well, he, Zenyuan Shan, never looks for the reason in himself!

He didn't even think that even if the child was born with defects, could it have nothing to do with his genes as a father?

And Chanyuanshan's temper has become more and more violent over the years.

The attitude towards Tachibana was directly lowered to the standard of Zenin Maki, and might even be slightly lower, after all, he was a real cripple.

But fortunately, Zenyuan Ju, who possesses the "Infinite Perception System", is quite perceptive in the eyes of Zenyuan Shan, and never appears in his sight for a long time to hinder his eyes...

Chapter 4: Therapy

April 2014, 4, Zen Temple, Kyoto.

Today is the eleventh year that Zenin Ju has come into this world, and it is also his eleventh birthday.

Tachibana, who has been training his body with breathing techniques since he was a cradle, has just turned eleven years old. He has not yet entered puberty, but his height has reached 1.65 meters, a whole head taller than his two elder sisters Maki and Mayi.

However, the ultimate physical strength contained in this young body is even more shocking!

Well, it's almost reached the point of "when one grows strong, there will be changes". The good days of that old man named Lao Deng in the Zen Temple will soon be over!

...

"Ju, why are you still standing in the yard in a daze? Come over here and blow out the candles! I want to eat cake!!" Chanyuan Zhenyi put her hands on her hips and came behind Chanyuan Ju, urging him urgently.

Zenin Ju turned around and nodded lovingly, then rubbed Xiao Zhenyi's head again before walking into the house.

Even though Zenyuan Ju has been like this for so many years and has never changed, her elder sister Zenyuan Zhenyi still hasn't gotten used to it. She turns around and quickly walks after him with her two short legs.

"Ahhh... Ju! Why are you rubbing my head again?! How many times have I told you?! I'm your sister! I'm your sister!! Also, can you please stop looking at me like that?"

"And why are you only doing this to me? It's normal to be like this to Maki-nee!! I'm your sister too..."

Ignoring Zhenyi's protests behind him, Zenyuan Ju came to the dining table, leaned over and blew gently at the candles on the cake in front of him.

As the candles slowly went out, Zenyuan Ju only promised secretly in his heart: "From now on, I will protect these women!"

...

"Ju, what wish did you make?" Chanyuan Zhenyi, who had caught up with him, pulled Ju's arm and asked with a smile.

Zenyuan Juzhi silently took out a piece of paper and pen from his pocket and wrote four big words: "I won't tell you!"

Seeing the four big words on the white paper, Xiao Zhenyi pouted and said angrily: "Ahhh!! Ju, you are so annoying!!"

"Okay, okay, you two stop making trouble. Go cut the cake, Tachibana!" said the usually steady and eldest sister of the three, Zenin Maki.

...

Looking at the children in the house, Zenin Yusa couldn't help but feel guilty...

Am I the biggest sinner for allowing these children without the talent of sorcerers to be born into this family?

Whenever he thought of this, Zenyuan Yousha couldn't help feeling sad.

But before the old mother Zenin Yousa could feel guilty for long, little Mayi's exclamation brought her back to her senses.

"What!! Sister, you want to join the final body team!" Zenin Shinji looked at her sister Maki with shock and asked.

Zenin Maki nodded seriously, and then began to explain:

"I know I don't have a talent for cursed power, but that doesn't mean I can't become a curse master and remove cursed spirits! This is my ideal, and I hope you, as my family, can support me."

Although her sister said so, Chanin Shinei still said with a worried look on her face: "But... Sister, your cursed power level is the lowest among the three of us. You can't even see the cursed spirits! How can you get rid of the spirits?"

After hearing this, Zenin Maki took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on his face and said, "This is the cursed glasses of the terminal body team. It allows ordinary people to see cursed spirits."

"But...but..." Seeing that her sister had made such thorough preparations and looked like she had made up her mind, Chanyuan Zhenyi became extremely anxious.

After stretching out his hands and pinning Zhenyi down, Zenin Maki spoke:

"Ma-yi, you don't have to worry too much! The captain of the Gu-liu team has only agreed to let me attend the training as usual. He may not let me go with him when the curse is removed."

"And Shinyi, you underestimate me, your sister, too much, don't you? I'm very strong!" After saying this, Zenin Maki had already loosened her hands, raised her fists in front of her chest, and made a boxing gesture.

Hearing this, the old mother, Zenin Yusa, who was about to speak to persuade her, stopped the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Since there's no danger and it's just training, let Maki go...

Knowing well her eldest daughter's stubborn temper, Zenin Yusa did not try to stop her.

But at this moment, Zenyuan Ju, who had been silent for a long time, silently wrote four big words on the paper again: "I want to go too."

The moment I saw the paper, the room suddenly became quiet...
