Chapter 41 Whether it is your soul or your flesh...
392
At the age of fifteen and a half, you have evolved from the "great genius of the Zenin family's spells" to the "great genius of the Zenin family who knows the 'Ten Kinds of Shadow Magic'".
This wasn't just a change in the length of the title, but a qualitative leap. It was a tremendous evolution of the "feudal orthodoxy" that was ingrained in the Zen family and the entire world of incantation!
This means that you are no longer a genius with unorthodox techniques that are not understood but very powerful, but a feudal orthodox genius with ancient techniques that have been passed down for many years and can be understood by everyone!
Your situation suddenly changes from being unreasonable to being very legitimate!
Now, no one can question your status anymore - although no one dared to question you to your face in the first place.
393
Because you are a minor who doesn't care about empty titles, you don't even care that you have become the only "special grade sorcerer" in the sorcery high school.
So now that you have become the orthodox "Ten Shadow Magics" of the Zenin family, allowing the Zenin family to proudly hold their heads up again in front of the Gojo family who had already possessed the "Six Eyes", you don't care at all.
But Wu-chan reiterates to you that during the Edo period four or five hundred years ago, the Gojo family's "Six Eyes" and the Zenin family's "Ten Shadow Techniques" were fought in front of the emperor, and both the heads of the two families died in a fierce battle.
This is the second time he has mentioned this to you, and this "mutual destruction" story is the third time you have heard it.
In the world of magic, there are always some connections such as "fate".
Not only your parents, but even Zenin Naoya's parents once believed it. Since the "Six Eyes" of the Gojo family has been born, then the "Ten Shadow Magics" of the Zenin family can't be far away?
So your parents hope that you will be the holder of the "Ten Shadow Spells", and Naoya-chan's parents also hope that Naoya-chan will be the holder of the "Ten Shadow Spells".
But unfortunately, Naoya's technique is "projection spell", while your technique is the ability to tear space that no one can understand - the Zenin family is unwilling to believe that the powerful brick flying technique is also your technique. They prefer to believe that you have an extremely high reserve of cursed energy and use it to strengthen your body.
Who would have thought that at the age of fifteen and a half, you could awaken a second time?
394
Although you have a bad memory and cannot understand many complicated things, you still understood the story after hearing the narration of Wujiang and Shenerge.
With your high emotional intelligence, you interpreted this story and thought you had glimpsed the fear deep in Wujiang's heart!
Although sixteen-year-old Wu-chan has grown very tall, he is still just a minor with a fickle mind and immature thoughts!
The teacher said that minors can easily become brainwashed if they are not careful, and many of them even go astray because of this!
In order to prevent Wu-chan from going astray, as his best friend, how can you just stand by and watch!
Although you are just a minor, you are well versed in human nature and decide to become a female lecturer who saves Wu-chan's soul!
395
"So you're afraid we'll fight like that and both of us will perish?"
You looked at Wujiang's face, which was wearing round-frame sunglasses that you thought were weird at first, but naturally found cute after looking at them for a long time, and stretched out your hand.
“Wu-chan,” you held his face in your hands and asked him very seriously, “Tell me, am I your best friend?”
When you asked this, Wujiang suddenly became like a hesitant and awkward child, unwilling to answer you directly.
“Why are you asking this all of a sudden…” Satoru-chan tried to pull his face out of your hands.
But his little face, which was the size of a palm, was firmly held in your big hands.
You said to Wu-chan, "No matter how you feel, in my heart, Wu-chan, you have always been my best friend. Even though we sometimes argue and fight, so what? Because I know that no matter what, we will make up."
"My teacher once told me that if you don't want to lose your friends, you must learn to be honest with them. It doesn't matter if you have a fight, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. As long as one person is willing to admit their mistake, true friends can still remain friends."
You hold Wu-chan's head and let him lean on your shoulder. You say to him loudly: "Because Wu-chan is my best friend, I like Wu-chan very much!!"
After your loud confession, Wu-chan finally said what you wanted to hear, "Arisa is also my best friend"!
But because your voice was so loud, it inevitably attracted Nitro-chan from the next room and Jie-chan from the next dormitory building.
Nitro-chan and Jie-chan stared sharply at the two of you hugging each other!
Based on the principle of "loving everyone equally", you said the same sentence twice after changing the address!
Now, Wu-chan is your best friend, Nitro-chan is your best friend, and Jie-chan is also your best friend!
After all, your arms are so strong and your chest is so broad, big enough for all of your best friends to snuggle up to!
You once again hugged each other tightly, both your hearts and bodies tightly connected! !
396
Having saved Wu-chan with a loving embrace, you are very satisfied with your achievement, but in line with the principle of humility, you must not commit the serious sin of arrogance.
So you are still a very humble, polite and studious minor.
You are devoted to learning and don't like to listen to messy rumors at all - mainly because you have righteously declared that it is not allowed to cricket others, so no one crickets others in front of you.
Therefore, you don’t know that you have only added an ordinary skill - what you think is an ordinary skill, but there are so many people who care about it a hundred times or a thousand times more than you do.
Such a change has no impact on you, because you don’t even know that the Zenyuan family held a meeting to discuss this.
But it will have a profound impact on your family, your parents, and your legitimate son and cousin!
Doesn't this mean that Zenin Naoya is one level lower than you in terms of technique? From now on, there is an unbridgeable gap between Naoya, who has a shallow history in technique, and you, who has a long history in technique.
Naoya-chan can only look up at you who are so high above him!
He can no longer deceive himself by saying that he is on the same level as you!
Such a cruel reality made Naoya unable to help but think of his terrible nightmare.
It's about the nightmare that after you became the head of the Zenin family, he lived a miserable life with no identity, no status, and no one to love him.
Naoya-chan's life was already extremely difficult, and you have made it even more difficult and embarrassing!
397
What's worse is that the Zenin family, who originally didn't care whether Naoya-chan wanted to go to Tokyo High School or Kyoto High School, suddenly started to care after learning that you had mastered the "Ten Shadow Magics".
The Zenin family, who are extremely good at deceiving themselves from top to bottom, still had some hope before this. They believed that although you are undoubtedly a genius, your technique is not "orthodox" enough.
Although the techniques used by Naoya-chan and his biological father are not strictly speaking "orthodox", they are still better than you who don't even know what the techniques are called and have never explained the principles behind the techniques to any of them.
Therefore, comparing the two, Zenin Naoya, who inherited the "projection spell" of the current head of the family and is the only "legitimate son" of the current head of the family, still has more "orthodox" aura.
But who could have thought that you could suddenly bring everyone some surprises that everyone can understand (referring to the "Ten Shadow Spells")?
You know, before they heard about this "surprise", their expressions were not like this.
398
Your relatives used to criticize you behind your back.
"Although Arisa is very powerful, the techniques she uses are so strange that it's hard to understand what's going on. It's hard to say how much they're related to the Zenin family's inherited techniques."
"And even if she's very capable, her brain is really too weak. If we hand over the Zenin family to someone like her, can we really have a future?"
"Even if a family values the abilities of their offspring, if they only prioritize abilities and ignore character, sooner or later the Zenin family will be doomed."
399
But your relatives have now all turned into flatterers!
"Arisa is the top genius among the younger generation of our Zenin family. Even if she is placed in the entire world of spellcasting, who can compare to her?"
"Do we still need to question Arisa's authority? I've always known that a genius like her would be able to master any technique with ease! Can the Gojo family next door, with their six-eyes, do that? Can they?!"
"Who said Arisa's brain isn't working well? I think her brain is really working well!"
400
Everyone chirped and chattered back and forth.
Your relatives have completely forgotten the rule you once solemnly announced in the Zen temple: "No talking behind people's backs." Once the crickets start to chirp, everyone gets excited, just like you and Wu-chan whispering in class. The louder and louder they talk, the more excited they become, as if they can really decide something for you behind your back.
Not only that, they also crazily started making a lot of remarks that praised one and put one down, including but not limited to: praising you by praising Satoru-chan from the Gojo family next door; praising you by praising Kenki-chan from the Kamo family next door, who suddenly appeared and claimed to be the legitimate son, but everyone knew that he was not.
The relatives who were immersed in the art of stepping on one and praising the other did not even let go of Naoya-chan, who was also a member of the Zen temple family! They also turned Naoya-chan out and stepped on him again and again, just to praise you!
Naoya, who is very good at teasing people behind their backs, was teased in front of so many people for the first time.
And the crickets' chirping was so loud that everyone could hear it!
Zenin Naoya's face was grim as he couldn't accept the reality. The scenes in his dream seemed to overlap at this moment. In an instant, the terrible dream made Naoya shudder like a prophecy!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: As we all know, the Six Eyes and the Ten Shadow Magics will have a final battle, so will you and Wu-chan have a final battle?
(In fact, I played it dozens of chapters ago!)
