Chapter 197 Ghost walking at night?
【Event Log】
"In the early morning of December 2017, 12, a large number of cursed spirits suddenly appeared on the back mountain of the Polytechnic. It was speculated (later confirmed by Chairman Su Ze) that the cursed spirit tide began to spread from the end of the foothills of the mountain, and it was fierce and unavoidable.
Caused quite a stir...
■■■Solved most of the cursed spirits that appeared in the high school... (The traces of smearing indicate that someone's name was crossed out)
The nature of this incident is extremely bad and has caused irreversible consequences. The cause of the incident is ■■■■ (large amount of smearing)...
...The person who caused the incident was Geto Suguru.
He is from the same class as Chairman Su Ze and others, and they have a close friendship.
There is no official definition of the incident, but there is a widely circulated nickname:
"One Hundred Demons Parade at Night".
——A draft on a piece of handwritten paper. The handwriting is elegant and lively, probably written by a lady. The manuscript paper is sandwiched among the piles of documents on the bookcase. I wonder why such an important event record is in such an inconspicuous corner.
……
2017/ 12/ 23
On a winter afternoon, the sun rarely shows any warmth.
"Brother Ze, can you teach me sword techniques this afternoon? I want to find an experienced sparring partner—" The daughter with a ponytail saw who was coming and raised her hand to greet him.
Su Ze, who happened to be passing by, stopped in response.
Zenin Maki was sitting on Panda-classmate's broad back, with the big red-handled sword on her shoulder.
The panda, exhausted, lay limply on the ground, its tail drooping limply, its round ears also drooping tiredly.
Judging from its dusty body and messy fur, Panda was probably beaten up in the sparring just now.
Inujuanji, who was wearing a scarf with a sacred meaning, looked over here with sympathy, then continued his physical training.
Zenin Maki was a little frustrated. After solving the "key cursed power" in her body, her physical fitness was greatly improved.
The power of "Heaven and Curse" only gradually became apparent at this time.
She is still doing a lot of physical training and weapon stunts, but it's not easy to find people to practice with...
Dog Curl is not a melee type, and Panda is a little bit lacking when he doesn't use the other two forms...
Among his classmates, the only one who seems to be a suitable sparring partner is Otsutsuki-san.
But he is the latest "special grade" after all.
With cursed spirits becoming increasingly rampant today, the newly added top-level magicians are almost immediately buried in the overwhelming curse incidents.
Each place will often need top-notch combat power to come to their rescue and make the final decision.
——When will I be able to become that strong?
Miss Maki couldn't help but think so.
After all, the hype of "Heaven and Curse" is quite loud, but although her current strength is "not bad", it is still far from the level of being the best.
——At least he is very different from the earliest known person who was bound by heaven and curse and left the Zenin family, Fushiguro Shinjiro.
Compared with this legendary figure, I am probably inferior in every aspect.
Although Su Ze was not shy about talking about this past event, she was not straightforward enough to ask such questions...which might make both parties uncomfortable.
But without the experience of her predecessors to draw on, she had no way of knowing exactly where she had gone wrong.
A slight feeling of confusion enveloped her, which seemed to be the shackles that came with "Heaven and Curse".
On the other side, Su Ze looked at Maki who called him, and glanced at Gojo Satoru who was doing nothing and idle next to him.
Su Ze saw the emotions in her eyes.
"Maki, your problem right now isn't practice—" Then he spoke without seeming to have a beginning or an end.
"Ah?" Zenin Maki didn't understand for a moment.
Su Ze raised his hand and gently touched his chest, "Your heart is not at peace——"
"......!" Zenin Maki realized that Su Ze was teaching her methods.
Su Ze's face was calm, and he closed his eyes gently, "This can't all be attributed to you personally."
He said slowly, "The atmosphere of the Zen temple, the environment you grew up in, Zhenyi's predicament..."
Maki lowered her head, frowning slightly in thought.
The panda under her seemed to be crawling uncomfortably and froze a little.
Maki then raised her knife and smashed the bear's head with the handle.
The panda covered his head and whimpered.
Su Ze ignored the little movement over there and continued: "These "crises" that have been lingering around you are always alerting you - you use them as motivation to spur yourself. Later, even if you get out of the "Zen Temple", you still think about danger in times of peace... This is very good and beyond reproach."
Su Ze's eyes were gentle.
Zenin Maki grew up in a suffocating environment. She and Mayi suffered from prejudice and neglect, but when they looked around, there was no one they could rely on.
Everywhere you look you see enemies.
It felt so bad that she didn't even know how to find a way out.
The only way is to wrap yourself tightly with sharp edges and weld all the softness near your heart - only in this way can you have a chance to survive in that cannibalistic place.
Mayi may still have her sister to rely on...but what about herself?
As the "sister", as the "older one" - what kind of expression should she show to deal with all this?
Under such circumstances, how could she practice with a calm and selfless mindset that does not seek external things...?
Su Ze walked towards Gojo Satoru, who was lying on a bench with his arms under his head, his eyes covered by sunglasses, and seemed to be taking a nap.
——He is on vacation recently and has a lot of free time.
"Maki, you have a very strong state of mind - for me, it's hard for me to imagine what I would become in such an environment..."
Zenin Maki lowered her head, the hilt of the knife still pressed against the back of the panda's head.
——Su Ze never hesitates to talk about his "confusion".
Thanks to this, the feeling of "nothingness" and "insurmountable" that they felt when facing Gojo Satoru did not seem to be reflected in Su Ze.
——Even though both of them are at a similar level, even though Gojo Satoru once joked that "there is no chance of winning against Su Ze"; even so, when facing Su Ze, Zenin Maki always felt that the other party was just a very talented young teacher, an active special-grade, and a leader in the world of curses——
Although it is shining, it is not "untouchable".
...it may even make people think, “Maybe I can reach this state too.”
This is probably the biggest difference between Su Ze and Gojo Satoru.
Su Ze picked up Gojo Satoru, and the head of the Gojo family, who was taking a nap after noon, woke up with a start.
"…Maki, don't get hung up on the past."
Su Ze said softly without turning his head.
"—you should move forward."
Zenin Maki felt that the person he most wanted to say this to was not her.
"What's going on, Ze? Don't you see Yuta and the others are practicing?" The head of the Gojo family, who was woken up from his dream, shouted in dissatisfaction.
Su Ze kept raising his eyes, "You went on a mission too early... How long have you slept?"
