Curse Back: From Demonic Hollow to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Chapter 217 Maki's Decision

Pop, pop, pop!

On the training ground of the technical high school, the 8-year-old Zenin Maki was waving a wooden sword and attacking Fushiguro Shigeru with a serious face.

Fushiguro Shinobu nonchalantly swung his wooden sword to block.

Megumi Fushiguro sat on the steps beside the training ground, holding an ugly but cute doll and watching quietly.

After finishing the general cleaning at Zenin's house, Eiichi took Zenin Maki and Zenin Shinji away from Zenin's house.

When asked what the two wanted to do in the future, Zenin Shinyi gave a vague answer.

Probably the kind of good girl who always listens to adults' instructions.

Zenin Maki's answer was straightforward and firm.

"I want to become strong, as strong as that man."

That day, the scene of Fushiguro Shino pinning Zenin Naoya to the ground and beating him was deeply engraved in Zenin Maki's mind.

Especially after Fushiguro Shinobu said that he was also bound by heaven and curse, Zenin Maki's desire became even stronger.

In the past, Zenin Maki was eager to become stronger, and even applied to join the Kujuru team to train herself.

All men in the Zenin family who do not have any skills must join the Kujuru team and dedicate their bodies to the Zenin family.

But there are no requirements for women.

Women without talent in the Zen family will receive strict education according to the clan rules to become qualified servants, to serve capable people or to marry into alliances.

Therefore, there were almost no women in the team.

However, the original Zenin Maki took the initiative to apply to join the Kukuru team, and worked hard to hone her skills in the Kukuru team.

Later, he became the squad leader of the Qujuliu team.

But even so, she still couldn't change her and Mayi's situation.

This also led to Zenin Shinji's decision to become the head of the Zenin family in order to protect her sister and fight against fate.

Fortunately, the head of the Zen temple family of this generation is Zenin Naobi, who is known as the most open-minded head of all generations.

Otherwise, when Zenin Maki said these words, her fate would have been sealed.

After seeing that Zenin Maki was still determined, he sent her out in the name of trial and test.

When Zenin Maki left, Zenin Naohito also hinted that Zenin Maki's behavior might harm Zenin Shin'ei.

But she was still determined to leave the Zen temple.

With the tacit consent of Zenin Naohito, no one, including Zenin Naoya, stopped Maki.

This also led to the situation where Maki Zenin later joined Tokyo High School.

"what!"

Maybe I felt bored after playing with the kids for a long time.

Fushiguro Shige's wooden sword hit Maki directly on the head.

Maki cried out in pain, then crouched down with her head in her hands.

"That's it for today."

After saying that, Fushiguro Shigeu threw the wooden sword aside and left the training ground.

Fushiguro Shijiro doesn't know any advanced training methods.

He fought entirely based on the experience accumulated from repeated fights and the instincts of a beast.

Although Fushiguro Shigeki once joined the Kukuru team, it was, after all, a cannon fodder bodyguard team.

It only contains basic training methods and some not-so-advanced moves.

Therefore, Fushiguro Shigeu did not teach Maki techniques or anything like that, but instead used actual combat to make Maki's body remember how to fight.

This may be a bit cruel to an 8-year-old girl.

However, the two of them, who also came from a Zen temple family, had no objection to this training method.

Fushiguro Shigeki was thrown into a pile of cursed spirits at the age of 6 and experienced a life-and-death struggle.

Zenin Maki has not had a good life since it was confirmed two years ago that she could not even see cursed spirits.

"It's ok b... it hurts."

Megumi Fushiguro, who was originally sitting on the steps, stood up and wanted to comfort Maki.

As a result, the ugly and cute doll in his arms suddenly opened its eyes and jumped up, punching Fushiguro Megumi on the head.

There is suddenly one more cute little guy squatting with his head in his hands.

This doll is a cursed corpse made by Yega Zhengmichi.

It is of the same type as the one that Yuji Itadori is practicing cursed power control with, the only difference is that it is smaller.

I guess Yaga Masamichi was afraid that the doll would really hurt Fushiguro Megumi, so he specially made a small one for Fushiguro Megumi to use for training.

"Are you OK."

Maki, who was originally crouching with her head in her hands, immediately tried to comfort her when she saw Fushiguro Megumi doing this.

It's like taking care of Mayi who is often scared because she can see the cursed spirits.

"fine."

Fushiguro Megumi blushed a little.

I came here to comfort Maki, but ended up being comforted by Maki.

"It's over already? How does it feel?"

Outside the training ground, Yingzhi, who had just returned to the technical high school, asked.

He now also holds a sinecure in the college.

"No."

Fushiguro Shiji said mercilessly.

"why?"

Eiichi sat down next to Fushiguro Shiori.

"You have good momentum and you work very hard, but you don't have the talent. If you continue like this, you will only give away your life in vain."

As both are bound by heaven and curse, Fushiguro Jyouji's physical strength at this age is much stronger than Zenin Maki.

"Yeah......"

Yingzhi began to frown and think.

Although he was able to protect Zenin Maki and let her live a peaceful life.

But that wasn't what Maki wanted.

What she wanted was the power to protect her sister, not charity from others.

In Maki's opinion, she has no power and has to rely on the kindness of others to protect herself and her sister.

This is no different from staying at a Zen temple.

Maki has always felt guilty after her sister Mayi died for her.

I feel that according to what my sister said, being down and out with her is the best option for both of us.

"It seems that we need to solve the problem of heaven and curse first."

Yingzhi scratched his head.

In this case, Zhenyi will have to bear some responsibilities.

"Isn't that something determined when you're born?"

Fushiguro Shinobu looked at Eiji, and then looked at Zenin Maki who was encouraging each other with Fushiguro Megumi.

"Normally, yes, but Zenin Maki is different. She should be the reverse Heaven and Curse like you, a complete Heaven and Tyrant, but unfortunately, the two of them are identical twins."

Fushiguro clearly understood what Eiji meant.

Zenin Maki should have been the same as himself, a heavenly being with zero cursed power.

However, because they are identical twins, the cursed power system treats Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai as the same person.

This resulted in Zenin Maki still retaining a small amount of cursed power and failing to achieve complete reverse heaven and curse binding.

It also led to a decline in the power of the Zen temple's Zhenyi Mantra.

The look in Fushiguro Shige's eyes when he looked at Zenin Maki changed.

The same origin, the same experience, and even the same technique.

Fushiguro Shigeki saw his own shadow in Zenin Maki.

The only difference is that Maki still has someone she cherishes in her heart.

So she still has the motivation to work hard.

And I have nothing.

"No, I have people I cherish, too."

Fushiguro Shigeki turned his gaze towards Fushiguro Megumi.

Look at this blessing given to him by God.

Although Fushiguro Shinjiro forgets his children, is a gambler, has a bad temper, and marries a daughter-in-law, he is a good father.

"What to do?"

"I can't kill another little girl."

Fushiguro Shigeu didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"I'll take care of it. Just figure out how to teach her."

After saying that, Yingzhi stood up and left.
