Bab 65: The Zenin Clan
{Jujutsu High}
It has been two weeks since my first lesson. The students have been adjusting well to the new teaching tactics, as long as they weren't running in fear of certain individuals.
I had discussed briefly with the twins their newfound strength and ways to begin improving themselves. For Maki I told her how she should hone her stealth capabilities as she was practically invisible to almost everyone now. She took that as a challenge to scare anybody and everybody.
Still failed to scare either myself or Gojo though. Mai on the other hand finally bloomed with her newfound reserve. For her I recommended learning structures and any form of crafting. This was to better learn her ability as it was "creating something from nothing".
Knowing more about how something was created and its internal structure would allow for an easier time creating things, as it was in my projection magecraft. She chose sculptures made of stone at first, of certain individuals that she had a grudge against, that she repeatedly broke in front of the class.
She went on a learning binge with just the same amount of energy as her sister's scare tactics though. In particular she chose metalwork, except for the occasional revenge sculpture.
Yuji got his steak dinner though.
My second lesson was more focused on actual training now that we had actual data to work with. Specialized workout plans that included their Cursed Techniques in innovative ways.
Like for the resident archer, who is in constant fear of Mai currently, I had arranged for him to learn to imbue the whole arrow in a specific way to add more rotation to it. For the actual body workout he needed to shift the Cursed Energy from his feet to the arrows.
Occasionally they went out as teams to face cursed spirits. All was mostly peaceful for them as the stronger spirits were handled by us teachers and Yuta. Yuki was around sometimes as she worked with me occasionally to research more into Magicka and the feasibility to pass it to people here "safely".
Our experiments were mostly consisting of acclimatization as of now with animal species. Primarily rabbits as it turned out.
I also joined some of the teams in subjugating new cursed users and curses whenever it wasn't my day to teach. I also got some practice in utilizing my new abilities as a Marionettist. While I never kept the curses I made into marionettes It was an informing experience.
But some people just had to ruin things. As the third class I held came close to an end we got some visitors. Two men came barring an "Order" for me.
Walking up to me they held an old scroll and said, "Emiya, Azarius! You are hereby considered a Zenin clan member due to possessing abilities that could be construed as shadow in nature. You are to report to the clan elder council immediately. Failure to do so will result in the Zenin Clan bringing you by force! Signed by the Elder Council of the Zenin Clan."
So there my class was as we all stared in disbelief in this fools expectant smug face. Deciding to not bear this drama alone I located Gojo chilling on the roof and made a gate under him. If he wanted to avoid it he could easy though.
As expected of the shameless man he said as he arrived, Popcorn in hand, "Oh? Oh! are they finally losing it? Please tell me they did something dumb!"
As the faces of the Zenin clan members saw the newcomer they both paled and grew angry at the words. Before they could respond though I answered Gojo, "Yeah, they have gone full stupid. To say straight to my face that "I am a Zenin now" and expect me to comply? Come on, even my students can tell that is stupid and barely needs a response."
"To dare disrespect the Zenin Family!" "The Nerve"
The two spoke almost instantly. So am I not a threat or something? Azazel decided to come out of my shadow and stare down the idiots. Which turned out to be a mistake as they suddenly had "validations".
"See! a Variation of the ten shadows technique, of course he is a Zenin!" pointing blatantly at Azazel.
The cat decided to have fun though, In a very deep voice that wasn't really his normal child like one he said, "Mortals! You dare compare me to that kids pets! Kneel and beg for forgiveness before I get angry."
Which only riled them up more as they said, "See a familiar made of shadows must come from our ancestors! To dare claim otherwise is a Slight against the Zenin Family!"
Deciding to have had enough, the loveable cat began his fun. First they were strung up by their own shadows, Then stripped to their boxers and spread while they kicked and screamed in indignation and anger.
I helped after a few seconds and placed a wind barrier to block the noise. Turning to the class I said, "Class is dismissed and could the three of you stand by" Pointing to Megumi, Mai, and Maki.
They all scattered as they knew the show was over for now. Picking the List up from the ground I said, "Fancy a field trip you three? Gojo, you are welcome to come as well provided there isn't a conflict. I believe you are considered Megumi's guardian correct?"
The laughing idiot off to the side gave a thumbs up as he continued to laugh away. The Maki and Mai just looked to the idiots strung up. Then just shrugged and went with it. With the craziness of myself and Gojo they had built some tolerance it seemed.
Megumi did have a moment of hesitation before it hardened with a bit of backbone. Then he nodded along.
"Alright Azazel, That's enough for now. Well probably have more of a chance later."
They dropped with a thud next to their clothes. Then I spoke to them with a bit of weight from my powers, "To answer your statement from before, I refuse. There is no one able to suddenly say I am a part of some clan here. That is Fact. Next, My name Is Azarius "Noct" Emiya. To dare disrespect my adoptive mother, from whom my shadows originate, with the barebones abilities of a Cursed Technique is blasphemy, Literally.
That's kinda what happens when you disrespect a goddess. If your family actually did their research you might have known about that. But nooooo, they sent some half qualified idiots who really don't have the strength to demand, ANYTHING, from me."
Releasing the pressure from them allowed them to finally breath. "Now, Gojo, since you finally stopped laughing what are the Coordinates of the Zenin Family?"
As he said them I drew my key and began programing the spell. I had already adapted the spell to "Earth" as far as allowing me to calculate through dimensions "Where" a coordinate was. A fun exercise since I had a completely new world to adapt to.
Activating the gate spell caused a portal to form ahead of us next to the Zenin clan members. Which I promptly punted them through. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
We all followed after them and were greeted to a rush of people gathering at a rapid pace.
A stern aged voice came over in the commotion and said, "What is the meaning of this!"
My good natured reply to the gentleman was, "Tossing some trash back to their home and greeting the idiots who are, this close, to having their shit kicked in."
The gasps were entertaining to listen to as the crowd now began to murmur around us. Notably they were all male as the females left the scene as they all came.
The duo of idiots began to explain as I created a table and chairs in the middle of the courtyard. The fog escaped from my hands as it formed into the projections. While it was a simple application of my magecraft I was happy with the fanfare it brought.
The very not amused elder watched us all as we sat down. The only one who seemed out of place in our bunch was Megumi as he was in the middle of several people who did not give a fuck.
"What do you have to say for your actions against my Zenin family, and you three are just going along with this!"
"Come sit down, lets speak like adults before you get yourself a free ticket to terminal velocity. Gojo Satoru is here acting as Megumi Fushiguro's guardian. Also as a witness for fun."
The elder, that I could feel the hate radiating off of Maki and Mai, from approached the table and sat down. The table itself was a rounded oval with the two sides where I placed the chairs.
"And what pray tell are these women doing here?" I raised an eyebrow at him very unamused with his slight.
"My students, of which your men interrupted my lesson of, are here because they, seemingly unfortunately, carry Zenin blood. As such I would not do something that they themselves would not want to happen to you all."
"The Zenin clan has stood for generations, It will continue to stand as well. You should feel honored we are offering you a place among our Clan."
Seeming with a tiny bit of interest, I leaned my elbows on the table and rested my head on my hands. "I'll ask this then, What pray tell do you actually know of me? That I have a familiar that is created from shadows? A Nightingale that is my mother's acted as a guardian during my time asleep?"
"You are strong, but not enough to oppose the Zenin clan, I know this."
That made me burst out laughing, Gojo as well. Maki and Mai shared a chuckle as Megumi rested his head in his opened hands.
The crowd of angry Zenin was back but they didn't speak.
With a sigh coming from the depths of my soul I said, "First and foremost since you most likely DON'T know, I am not from this world. I have NO relation to the Zenin clan besides teaching some students that particularly hate you, for good reason.
Now as you get that through your mind, my shadows come from my connection to my mother; A Primordial goddess, for lack of similar terms here, of the Night and Shadows.
So to DARE say that my ability to use my magic is because of some relations to your clan is actual blasphemy... Picture that for a moment. Now, you want an explanation as to why I laugh in your face as to "The power of the Zenin Clan" I could fold this clan in a matter of an hour, It would only take that long due to you having so many members."
He finally did it though, he attacked. He drew his sword and attempted to slash me. A blazing heat erupting from the blade. Only he was to be sorely disappointed.
I held one finger enhanced with my body's strength, then I added an Ebon flesh spell, Finally adding a tiny piece of Cursed energy at the end of my finger that blocked the attack.
His eyes widened and his pupils shrunk. Especially as my technique came into play.
See since I had enough time to truly experiment, I found out just what my specific technique can do. As it was influenced by the [Error] pathway the technique found itself know as [Theft]. With a bit of cursed energy in just the right way I can encircle it with my own. Then I pull it back.
As I flicked my finger and sent him back while simultaneously erupting with a few calm spells around the to the idiots, I looked at the tiny speck of fire surrounded by my green colored cursed energy.
For now my technique was limited to just taking it, I haven't figured out how to actually use the things I took.
No matter, I turned my attention to the figure of the elder getting back up in a huff. He was noticeably flustered as a few people helped him up.
"So, to recap here for a moment. You, a Zenin Clan Elder just attacked me in front of the Gojo Clan head. For no good reason besides some words I said, Did I get that right?" Many of them were growing more and more pale by the second as I finished my words.
The Elder, whom I suspected was the Father of Maki and Mai, Said, "You dishonor our family and expect me to do nothing?"
I nodding in respect to the words said, "True, but to attack a guest is always in poor manners. And you disrespected me first. Now, going from here, If any member of the Zenin clan even attempts to claim me as a member I will act with extreme prejudice."
My eyes glowed purple due to activating my Mystic vision. Adding a bit of weight to my statement I also released my energies to the surroundings. Finally I added just the tiny bit of my divinity of a demigod. The weight of gravity seemed palpable for a moment.
Fog descended around myself as they were released. My fog of Mystery descending to the real world as they all retreated in fear of it.
"Now onto other business." I said with a shit eating grin. My students had endured too much by these fools. Time to rectify that, even the tiniest bit. The fog billowed around and papers formed. They flew to the twins at my behest. They looked confused for a moment and read the little note on it.
It read simply, "Do you wish to separate from the Zenin Clan Officially?"
My smirk grew as they exploited their bond to talk to each other and so a fun new plan for today was made.

Beware the wrath of a woman scorned!
Run in Fear if there are two!
Pay in Stones and we may be able to hid you!
AN: As said in the notice I have happily rejoined the gaming community and restarted playing destiny 2. I will probably be on the game for awhile and as such decided to make a proper schedule for releases.
I understand many of you happily read this story as such I don't want to drop it either. This was my compromise.
From now on It will be Thursdays and Sundays for releases! no specific time because I procrastinate to much and don't want to subject myself to complete deadlines.
With love from Your Favorite Khajiit!
