True power
~~~~~~~~ [Back to the testing room] ~~~~~~~~
"How is it, Chojuro?" After calling a servant to carry the passed-out mother and the still crying son, the clan head gathered every member of the Hei to inspect the damage to the door.
And who better to call than the local earth manipulator, Chojuro Zen'in.
"There are no signs of cracks or burns. It looks like the hole was molded from the inside.
"As expected, he has the same cursed technique as me," Chojuro smiled as he inspected the damage to the wall.
Ogi clicked his tongue in annoyance at his remark, prompting heartfelt laughter from the old men.
"Oh don't be like that Ogi, we all did the deed with her so it's natural that some will be left out" Chojuro remarked after he laughed
"Whatever that might be, we now know what kind of cursed technique Asahi has," the clan head interrupted their discussion and pressed the subject further.
"This is good. For the longest time, your cursed technique has always been the best at flexibility among us. Combined with his large amount of cursed energy... he might just be stronger than a Ten Shadows user," Naobito smiled as he inspected the damage further.
The damaged area revealed a 5cm thick stone wall, molded like clay by the hand of a one-year-old into a hole about 6 feet in diameter.
'But is it really stone manipulation?' the clan head thought.
"What about the boy and his mother? Have they received medical attention yet?" Naobito looked back to see the leader of the Kukuru unit standing right behind him.
He is Nobuaki Zen'in.
"Yes, Naobito-sama. Both the boy and his mother are currently in their room with our doctor," Nobuaki replied respectfully as he answered the clan head's questions.
Naobito nodded, satisfied by the answer, and continued to inspect the hole.
"Naobito-sama, if I may suggest, maybe you should go to the doctor as well," Nobuaki suddenly spoke to the old man in front of him.
He looked at the condition of the clan head, the emaciated figure after not eating for four days straight.
"No need, I am just gonna eat later. Just tell the servants to prepare a feast 2 days from now. We are going to celebrate this happy occasion," the old man showed a very proud smile as he looked at the boy's work.
A happy occasion indeed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Open!" *Swoosh
"Open!" *Swoosh
"Open, open, open!" *Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh
The room was beautiful. It gave a sense of calmness, with decorations and furniture placed neatly.
The beautifully painted wooden walls and the steady floor beneath them were now filled with holes of various sizes.
"Open!" And that was all because a one-year-old boy was given a new toy.
After the whole debacle of the test, the boy had gotten a good night's rest and food. But now, a few hours later, the boy remembered that he could make holes in things by saying "open."
So he did just that, quite a number of times as well.
The mother was still resting on her bed, watching how her son made holes in the walls and floor as he played with his new power. She giggled at his adorable ways of using his supposedly special-grade level cursed energy.
The doctor had left after finishing his check-ups with the mother and son. He left the room and took the report back to the clan head.
"You shouldn't put too many holes in the wall, it might collapse if you do," the mother warned her son.
He froze in his step. He was about to put another hole in the wall, but after the warning, he proceeded to put the hole in the ground instead, thinking that it might be safer there.
The holes were not too big. He wasn't planning to destroy the room, and if he made them bigger, he would have less room to play. So, he only made each hole about 1 cm in diameter.
But there were a lot of them, so it looked like the room had been blasted with a machine gun.
"What happened here?" The door to the room opened, revealing an imposing old man with a ponytail oddly enough, and his eyes closed.
The old man observed the room, intrigued by the many perfectly circular holes in the walls. He realized that there was only one person who could potentially do this—it was the boy.
'But the wall is made out of wood... Are we wrong about his cursed technique?' the old man thought.
His skin was very wrinkled, a sign of old age, and his body looked quite skinny. Not much muscle was left, but since cursed energy is not muscle-based power, he was still quite a formidable combatant.
He is Ogi zen'in, Asahi's father and also technically his grandfather.
(This story is fucked up)
"Ogi-sama," the mother, who was previously resting on the bed, quickly tried to get up from it to not disrespect the guest.
Seeing his mother try to leave the bed, despite her weakness, the son attempted to help her stand, despite his comically small stature.
The guest said nothing. Because he is a d*ck
"I am here to deliver a message from the clan head. In two days, the clan head will throw a feast as a celebration for Asahi to be the first special grade sorcerer that comes from our clan in centuries," the old man said with a small tinge of pride in his voice, announcing the boy's new title as a special grade
This is a very big deal because it's been about 200 years since one of the three big clans ever produced a special grade sorcerer.
About 14 years ago, the Gojo clan had produced their own special grade sorcerer, giving them an upper hand against the other two clans.
But now, since the Zen'in clan has also produced their own special grade sorcerer, the balance between the three great clans has been restored.
Except for the Kamo clan, that is.
"Understood, thank you for telling us, Ogi-sama," the mother responded to the announcement politely, careful not to offend the old man.
But the son could sense a bit of fear in her voice.
"Hmm," the old man hummed in response, proceeding to leave the room as if it were nobody's business.
He came, made everyone uncomfortable, said something, and leave.
Truly a member of the zen'in clan.
They stayed there for a while, not wanting to give the old man a chance to return unexpectedly and say something else while the mother was already on the bed, so he could b*tch about it later.
After about 5 minutes, the mother was finally convinced that he was not coming back and proceeded to get back into bed.
"Rest!" Only because the boy literally pulled her into the bed to get some more rest
The boy also layed on top of the mother after she layed down on the bed. Making sure she won't leave again as the doctor told her that she is suppose to be resting for at least a day.
She smiled at her son's forcibly kind gesture. Despite having all this power, he used it to help her get better.
'If only he stayed this way,' the mother thought to herself, hoping that the boy would remain innocent forever.
Even if the clan will never let that happened
~~~~~~~~~~~~ [The feast] ~~~~~~~~~~~~
The feast was held at night, bathed in the grace of the moonlight. They held a party filled with food and sake, eating and laughing throughout the evening.
All the Kukuru units were present. They happily chatted and enjoyed the party, savoring this rare break from their duties.
The servants, on the other hand, were working overtime. serving drinks, cooking, and cleaning the used dishes and cups.
But even so, they were happy, knowing that the sweet boy they had been taking care of for the last year was going to be the very first special grade sorcerer from the Zen'in clan in a century.
'Maybe, maybe life would be better if he becomes the clan head,' a young woman thought quietly to herself.
"Don't get your hopes too high," an old woman said to the girl who was cooking the meal for the feast, her face bright with a smile.
"Fujioka-san!" the girl exclaimed in surprise, startled by the old woman's sudden appearance.
"You were thinking about Asahi-sama, right? How things could change if he were to lead the clan?" The old woman accurately guessed the girl's thoughts.
"N-no, I was just—"
"No need to lie. I too had thoughts the same once," the old woman cut her off.
"What if I told you that Naobito-sama used to be a sweet and innocent boy much like Asahi-sama?" That sentence shocked the young servant. Her eyes widened after hearing those words.
"Naobito-sama?" she asked, seeking confirmation.
"Yes," Fujioka answered, "and not only him. Ogi-sama, Chojuro-sama, even Jinichi-sama were once innocent boys much like Asahi-sama," the old woman continued, capturing the young woman's full attention.
"But they changed. They all changed. Soon Asahi-sama will change too.
So don't get your hopes too high, Maya. It'll hurt more when he does change," the old woman said before she took the meal that was ready to be served away from Maya, who sat alone in her wheelchair, contemplating the old woman's words based on her own experiences.
Back at the feast
A young boy sat on top of his mother's lap, enjoying the meal presented in front of him as a celebration for his newfound title.
The moment he was born, he was assessed by the council of elders to determine what grade he was in terms of jujutsu.
At that time, he was given the rank of grade 1 only a few weeks after his birth, which in itself is already a significant achievement.
That's also why he was given the title as the heir of the Zen'in clan.
Along with Naoya, that is. Both of them are the heirs, and until one of them defeats the other in combat, there won't be any definitive heir for the Zen'in clan.
But now, after the new assessment they made for Asahi, as he was given a special grade rank,
there is only one thing left to do.
"Everyone!" The clan head suddenly stood up, raising his voice to gain everyone's attention, which he succeeded in as the party came to a halt.
"Today, I have good news and bad news," Naobito said, prompting everyone to listen closely to what he was about to say next.
"The good news is, as we all know, the Zen'in clan has finally produced another special grade sorcerer after 200 years!" Cheers of happiness erupted, and they clapped as they celebrated the boy who was currently stuffing his face with cakes.
He didn't care what the old man was saying, and he didn't understand. After all, he's just a child.
"And the bad news," the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.
Everyone wondered what could be the bad news on this otherwise joyful day.
"From today forward, Naoya's status as the clan heir is revoked!" *Gasp!
Everyone gasped in surprise, their eyes widening as they heard the second announcement from the clan head.
Some of the Hei members were sad, along with the Kukuru units, as they had developed a strong bond with the previous heir.
The servants were more ecstatic; for them, having Asahi as the clan's heir rather than Naoya was preferable.
But the person in question did not take the news very well
"Father!" The boy yelled at the clan head.
"What is the meaning of this? You said until both of us fought, none of our heir's titles would be definitive!" The boy raged at his father, questioning his decision to revoke his heir status.
"Asahi, come here for a second, boy," but instead of answering the 13-year-old boy's question, the clan head instead called for the special grade boy in question.
Asahi heard his name being called, stopped stuffing his face full of cakes, and turned his head towards the person who called him.
It was the old man, so he quickly swallowed any food he had in his mouth and headed to him after being called.
The clan head walked off the stage, leading the one-year-old boy to a tree in the middle of the compound.
The boy finally reached the old man, looking up to him because he was much shorter.
Naobito put his hand on the tree.
"Break this tree like you did during the testing," the old man said to the boy.
The boy, still having no idea why he was called, decide to just do what he was told so he can get done with whatever this is and come back to eating cakes.
He put his hand on the tree, and activate his cursed technique
*BOOM!
The tree suddenly explodes! Sending hundreds of small fragments of the wood flying everywhere from the tree.
'What?! How?!' Naoya thought after witnessing Asahi's cursed technique.
He saw what Asahi did in the training room; he saw the boy create a hole in the thick wall without any damage to the wall whatsoever.
So how can Asahi do this?
"At first, we thought the boy has some kind of stone manipulation like Chojuro," the clan head spoke, breaking everyone's stunned state after witnessing such a powerful technique.
"But 2 days ago I received a report from Ogi that Asahi can create holes in wooden walls and even dirt," he continued. Everyone listened to his explanation very carefully.
"So we called the boy for further inspection, asking him to do a number of experiments as we try to determine what kind of cursed technique he has." The boy yawned, as it is past his bedtime.
"From those experiments, we found crucial information about his cursed technique," the tension began to rise as everyone sat on the edge of their seats.
"He can put any kind of damage on anything he touches," the old man said, prompting another mass widening of eyes from the audience.
"Cuts, holes, dents, disintegrations, explosions. These are the kinds of things that he can do to anything he touches," the old man continued to explain the boy's cursed technique.
"this also works on humans." At that sentence, everyone began to sweat as they now understood the full power of the boy.
"So you see, Naoya. The reason for your revoked title was simply because even if you two fought, you would have no chance of winning as Asahi would only need to touch you once, and that's it." The old man faced his son. Naoya gritted his teeth in anger as he heard his own father telling him that he can't win.
But still, he understood that his father was right
"This is the power of our new heir of the Zen'in clan. A new technique born from his immense power."
"Ascendancy!"
~~~~~~~~~~ [To be continued] ~~~~~~~~~
Here's the corrected version:
WOOO! Finally, I can figure out a cool name for Asahi's cursed technique.
Why "Ascendancy," you might ask? Who named it, you might ask?
Well, that is a good question. One that I am not going to answer.
But if you must know, 'Ascendancy' has quite a number of abilities in it.
The first is what I already showed in this chapter ______ is the power to create any form of damage on whatever he touches.
Whether it was a force damages like holes, cutting damages like... Cuts. Impact damages like dents, even vibrations damage like disintegrations and burns.
All of that is possible with his first aspect of ascendancy, ______.
Anyway sorry for late updates, I kind of want to make a chapter about Maki and Mai for this one but I thought I need to show this first before showing Maki and Mai
Also yes, Maya is still alive and she have wheelchairs. Even while paralyzed she still have to work with whatever she can.
What a cruel family
No Omake for today sorry. I don't have enough time to write them as this one takes priority and also other things I write for the future.
