Kapitel 66: The Twins of Spite
{Japan, Zenin Clan Compound}
With a single glance and what I assumed was some telepathy, they had decided and Maki was the one to look at me and confirm their decision.
With a nod from myself I turned to the Elder and said, "The next order of Business is in regards to the twins here. They would like to officially succeed from the Zenin Clan." Dropping the bombshell was just as effective as I hoped. They began to argue with subdued tones still reeling from my suppression.
Interrupting them I said, "I can understand that this may feel sudden to you, especially as their father, but when you consider your overly traditional way of viewing the world... in 2018... I seriously wish for you to understand Neglect and Abuse is a crime."
"I have raised my daughters to be Sorcerers! To be Strong!" He retorted. "And were a spiteful cunt who limited their future with a ritual that destroyed their potential" I added as he fumed more. But he did not attack again.
Raising a hand I said, "But in light of these overly traditionalistic views I suggest a similar way of handling this." A smirk on my face as I know the girls will get a kick out of this.
"I purpose trial by combat!" raising my arms and pausing to let it sink in to these old farts. "The twins will fight for their own emancipation from the Zenin Clan. Do you have any objections?"
He may have been fuming but he pointedly did not look to his daughters even once during the conversations up to now. Even still avoiding looking at them as if it were reflex. Fine by me if you want to underestimate them.
"And why should I even allow this farce to happen in the first place. My daughters are of the Zenin Clan. Now and Forever. Even if one of them is an abomination to Jujutsu Sorcery." With an edge in his voice he said. The disregard for them as if they were just "things".
The twins while they may have gritted their teeth in anger did not let it show.
Mai was the one to speak first in a cold tine, "Because we have the strength to demand it."
He finally looked to them only to laugh in their face. Slamming his fist into the table he said, "HA! You sorry girl, you think you can actually fight all of a sudden? I have watched as you two failures have repeatedly disappointed me for years! A sorry waste of time. I should have been rid of you when you were born! You cost me the head position, and now a child thinks he can run our Zenin Clan?"
Maki with a bite in her tone spoke back, "You, you, you. That's just about your MO isn't it, Father." The spite in how she said the final word sent chills down spines.
"Wasn't powerful enough to beat the clan head? Take it out on the kids. Oh? They are twins? A supposed superstition of a terrible fate? Then lets do a ritual to share their cursed energy when their born so we don't have another Toji. Proceeds to then ostracize and bully the child anyways. I truly wonder if their is an intelligent thought in your minds at this point."
She sighed an relaxed into her chair and said, "We demand trial by combat. Send whoever you want, however many you want... we don't care. Because at the end of today I will no longer carry the Zenin clan in my name." She leveled her eyes at her father.
"So chose wisely who will represent you, Father. Because you won't have a second chance."
There was silence. Not a word was spoken for a time. until a certain white haired man chuckled a bit into a full blown laugh.
Shaking my head with a smile I addressed the angry but warned "father", "Please make your selection. You have an hour."
{Zenin Clan Compound, Training fields}
[POV Mai Zenin]
An hour, It can seem to stretch forever when you are conscious of it. Even still we waited it out. We knew they would throw everything at us. For the sake of their pride they would maybe at first send a few... only to go back on their words when we wipe the floor with them.
Because that's what is going to happen. There was no way, with all that we had been training, that we would lose. These few weeks had been exceptional in the aftermath of the gift we were given.
As Maki was stretching her arms out she looked to me and asked, "Plan D?" it brought a chuckle to me as I nodded to her smirking face. Then came the opponents, for now at least.
There were 10 of them, fair enough of dear old dad to use a decent number. But they were sorely lacking from what we could tell. Though that may have been due to the little tricks we had been employing since we arrived here.
To cover up Maki's heavenly restriction I employed the bond to "Cover" her in a minimal amount of cursed energy. This made her "visible" for now. It was a fun little gag we came up with when a few of the others had figured out not to look for cursed energy to look for Maki. They would check sounds, instincts, or in Itadori's case outright souls.
Emiya-Sensei walked to the middle of the training field where we all were. The other Zenin clan members had accumulated around in the various buildings surrounding the field. Mother was also around as I had noticed. With the many things that has happened I was no longer disillusioned with her.
She would no longer be a part of our lives... and I was ok with that.
"Now, for the rules of this trial. I understand that sorcerers are hard to come by. As such there will be no killing involved. But I will only move a fighter from the arena if a fatal attack will occur. Note, I don't care if you are seriously injured, until it is potentially fatal I will not intervene. I swear this on my name, So go wild."
He raised an arm and said, "Ready?" He looked to us as we set ourselves. The revolver in my hand at a whim from my leg holster. One of the many drills I had to undergo during training.
"Begin!" With a puff of flames he was gone, the bright flash did not interrupt us as I released my hold on Maki's cover. The little joke of our Plan D? A play on a famous phrase from the Romans.
With a sway in her step as she walked forwards completing my thoughts with words, "Let loose the dogs of War."
[POV Maki Zenin]
As the slightly uncomfortable feeling of Mai's Cursed energy washed away from me and my freedom remained I acted. There were no need for weapons at this point as I rushed forwards.
My movements were light as a feather as I tapped my foot upon the ground, not displacing even a single stone. The many tricks I had to pick up in spars with both Gojo-Sensei and Emiya-Sensei.
With Gojo I had to learn to maneuver around an opponent with a near impossible vison and instincts to match it. With Emiya, It was like facing my own shadow only it was so much better at what I did. So I learned the hard way.
I may have never beaten them, But I sure as hell made sure to bring my all. And these little grunts of the family didn't know what was coming.
My movements were noticed by them at first but as I drifted into their blind spots in mere moments, a gunshot rang out.
They had decent teamwork as they were quick to defend themselves, only that made my job easier. One erected a set of stone walls to separate defend themselves.
I only saw a kill box to exploit. So I did what I did best and with a simple hop and vault I was near a few of them silently. My hand grasped the mouth of the one farthest back and a well placed punch to the head incapacitated him.
The sound was nonetheless not noticed as they began to strategize. So I began my distinguished duties as the Successor of the Sorcerer Killer. So began My hunt.
With a lunge I grappled a leg of one individual and used him with one arm and slammed him into the next. Not stopping I gripped the faces of two more and rushed forwards dragging them along in my path.
As I was in the midst of the group I swung in a circle and made space. Releasing the two grunts in time they slammed into the Rockwall and through it. Just as a shot rang out, one of the individuals behind me was transported in a dark splatter.
I paid no attention to the spectacle as we were all used to it by now as some training was centered on taking as much damage as you can endure and still get up and fight.
With a leap I was backflipping from a cursed enhance charge. The form of the energy looked similar to a Boar. My foot landed on the head of one of them. I then proceeded to transfer into a handstand and wrapping my arms into his head.
As I began to twist I felt the unmistaken feeling of Rocks suddenly in the place of flesh as it was torn from it's place.
The brutality of my actions finally put them on edge as I landed with a stone sculpture of a head in my hands.
They only took a moment to begin to attack with newfound resolve in their hearts, It was sad they thought they could win. As I wasn't the only one to grow strong in this time.
[POV Mai Zenin]
As they gathered their wits to once more attack Maki, who had sufficiently gathered their enmity I employed my Cursed Technique.
As I gathered the Cursed energy to form matter to my will I pictured a number of things at once. My training was focused on longer range due to my weaker body. But with Maki taking the burden of the "Weight" of my technique and the attention of our foes, I had time.
And with that time I created a few weapons. First was for Maki, with the way our teamwork was centered she was tried and true frontline. As such she needed her weapon, I created the blade as a wide scimitar. A blunted edge, but it wasn't a mercy for our enemies.
Then came my own. A rifle was made to compliment my pistol. Created from my energies It would only respond to myself and Maki. Then came the bunker. The metal formed a barrier around myself and was reinforced by my Cursed Energy.
My beginning of what would eventually become my domain. Studies with Gojo-sensei pointed the Domain Expansion to be a reflection of both the user and their Technique expressed upon the world.
As such I would follow my teacher's example of a Domain to represent my creation. A decent pause happened as Maki was forced to finally move upwards into the Air. I gripped my rifle and Maki's sword. With a decent throw I tossed the sword her way.
With an uncanny movement she dodged a hand of stone and launched off the side of it and was suddenly in the path of my throw.
Now with weapon in hand She was ready to truly begin what would be our slaughter.
[POV General]
As Maki landed with blade in hand she launched forwards once more. Challenging head on the Zenin clan sorcerer. Shots began to ring out from a high powered rifle much to the shock of the spectators as they witnessed the Creation Cursed Technique in action.
A technique lost to time from the Heian Period once more was witnessed in it's beginning stages. And as the Zenin Clan stood stunned in revelations, Azarius and Gojo were snickering off to the side as occasionally a Zenin Clan member was transported.
