Chapter 51
"Then, Rokudo-kun, what is the Dying Will Flame you use?" After gaining a general understanding of sorcerers and the world of sorcery, Yukimura Seiichi turned to look at Rokudo Mukuro. Their conversation showed that the powers they possessed were not the same.
Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow and, under everyone's gaze, pulled out a ring from somewhere, inlaid with a large indigo gemstone, and put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
Genichiro Sanada hesitated, then stopped, but as a member of the disciplinary committee, he couldn't hold back any longer: "...Rokudo-kun, the school doesn't allow jewelry..." Especially such extravagant jewelry, with gems so dazzling that it was hard for him to pretend he couldn't see them.
Gojo Satoru: "How can someone so young be more rebellious than his father?"
Xia Youjie: "He seems to have quite a personality."
People reacted differently to the ring he wore on the middle finger of his right hand.
Rokudo Mukuro completely ignored these ignorant brats and immediately lit the flames without saying a word.
A cluster of indigo flames blazed on the ring, emitting a dazzling light.
"This is the Flame of Death."
Genichiro Sanada pulled down the brim of his hat, his ears turning slightly red. He knew he had just said something foolish.
As everyone watched the flames burning on the ring, a hint of curiosity and amazement flashed in their eyes.
"Can I touch it?" Gojo Satoru moved closer, his face full of eager anticipation, just like a cat ready to do something naughty.
Xia Youjie helplessly grabbed the back of his collar to prevent him from pressing his handsome face directly into the flames.
“Of course.” Rokudo Mukuro did not refuse. The Dying Will Flame is not a real flame, but a manifestation of the energy in a person’s body. Its temperature and whether it can harm people are all controlled by the master.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gojo Satoru extended his finger towards the indigo flame, his deliberately exposed eyes fixed on the energy before him.
"Wow, it's really not hot at all, and it didn't hurt me at all." Gojo Satoru withdrew his finger. "However, I can see that this flame contains a huge amount of energy."
"It's similar to curse power, but also completely different."
Rokudo Mukuro withdrew the flames, removed the mist-attribute ring from his finger, and then explained to them, "The Death Flame is indeed very similar to cursed power. Like cursed spirits, it is an ability born in the human body. Everyone is born with different kinds of flames flowing in their body."
"And I am of the Mist attribute. The Death Flame has a total of seven attributes: Sky, Storm, Rain, Sun, Cloud, Thunder, and Mist."
Rokudo Mukuro earnestly explained to them what the Dying Will Flame was, its attributes, and its characteristics.
The others listened attentively as well.
"So, what's the difference between the Death Flame and Cursed Power?" The tennis boys, who had never encountered either of these before, were full of questions. Aren't they both superpowers? What's the difference?
Xia Youjie explained to them, "Sorcerers are those who remove cursed spirits. Our cursed power comes from the caster's own negative emotions. Sorcerers are trained from a young age to extract cursed power from negative emotions to cast spells and strengthen their bodies for combat."
"Then what about the Death Flame? Can everyone use it?" Xia Youjie's eyes lit up slightly. Few people can become sorcerers, but if most people can master the Death Flame, then they will have a way to deal with cursed spirits, and can greatly reduce the casualties of sorcerers.
Rokudo Mukuro shook his head. "It's a little difficult to get everyone to use it."
Putting aside the difficulty in finding the materials to make the ring, even if you had the ring, it would be quite challenging to ignite it.
“Everyone possesses the flames of death, and the ring in my hand is the key to ignite them.” Rokudo Mukuro tossed the ring in his hand. “With the ring, ordinary people are considered to have the means to ignite the flames.”
Xia Youjie asked, "What other conditions are needed?"
“The cursed spirit originates from a person’s negative emotions, so igniting the flame requires a person’s purest awareness, releasing the awareness hidden deep within their heart.” Rokudo Mukuro recited the instructions to them on how to ignite the flame of death.
The tennis players looked completely bewildered. They were middle school students, not elementary school students anymore. What kind of awareness did they have? Were they watching some kind of action-packed anime?
Rokudo Mukuro had a blank expression. He knew he sounded foolish when he said that, but it was the truth. "The Death Flame relies on willpower. The stronger your resolve, the stronger the flames you unleash."
"Um," Xia Youjie said, somewhat confused, "Could you explain in more detail?" He added, "I suppose enlightenment is a positive emotion..."
Could you elaborate? He could have a lot to say about that.
Rokudo Mukuro smiled with a malicious grin, but a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. "For example, there was a fool who wanted to protect his companions, so he made protecting his companions his resolve. The strongest flames he released could destroy a small island."
"Wow!" everyone exclaimed.
"For example, there's a loyal dog who defends his boss's status and dignity..."
"For example, one is naturally naive, and the other is naturally mischievous. They're always thinking about pushing their limits, challenging themselves, and using their own strength to protect their family and friends..."
"For example, take a violent maniac. All he thinks about is fighting. When he sees three or more people together, he wants to beat them to a pulp. That's how the fire is naturally ignited..."
There's also a perpetually immature kid whose flames are barely passable. And of course, there's his Chrome, who's just as impressive among the group.
His tone was full of sarcasm, and when he mentioned certain people, the sarcastic tone was almost overflowing.
Kirihara Akaya hit a straight punch, "Wow, Rokudo-senpai, are all these people your friends?"
Rokudo Mukuro choked. Who were their friends? Who was friends with a group of evil Mafia? They were, barely, his family... his companions. Living together for so long had become a habit!
Rokudo Mukuro's tsundere persona will never falter!
"And what about you, Rokudo-kun? What are you thinking when you ignite the flame?" Xia Youjie wanted to know more, because he had a premonition that if the Death Flame could become widespread in the world of sorcery, it would definitely bring about a completely new change.
What was he thinking? Rokudo Mukuro was taken aback. Igniting the Dying Will Flame was as easy as commanding his arm for him. He tried to recall how he had ignited the Vongola Rings in the first place.
A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes as he replied with a smirk, "I'm thinking about world peace."
He's not wrong. The initial goal was to eliminate all Mafia organizations in the world and eradicate organized crime. Wasn't that a contribution to world peace?
Later, he thought he could just help Sawada Tsunayoshi out of the blue, but Sawada Tsunayoshi saved the world, so wasn't he also contributing to world peace?
Thinking about it that way, he really is a peace-loving person.
"Would you like to give it a try?" He looked at the various expressions on the faces of the others after hearing his words, and felt very pleased. He took out a box from his pocket and slowly opened it. Inside were six rings of different attributes. Together with the mist attribute ring in his hand, it made a complete set.
This set of rings is a decent Grade A ring, and it suddenly appeared in his room last night. After a moment's thought, Rokudo Mukuro knew that it was a gift from the World Consciousness. As for its use, it's already come in handy now, isn't it?
Moreover, he felt that the World Consciousness had sent him this set of rings for this very purpose.
The energy between sorcerers, cursed spirits, and ordinary people seems to form a closed loop: sorcerers kill cursed spirits to protect ordinary people, cursed spirits kill ordinary people and are exorcised by sorcerers, and ordinary people are born and strengthen cursed spirits. If this world continues like this, it will inevitably face destruction sooner or later.
Therefore, it urgently needs a different and powerful force to break this closed loop and this deadlock. The Dying Will Flame possessed by Rokudo Mukuro's world would be a good choice.
As for how to use this power, that's up to them.
Upon hearing Rokudo Mukuro's question, Gojo Satoru and Natsume Yuuki were the first to nod and agree. Rokudo Mukuro then placed the mist-attribute ring he was holding into the ring.
"Each type of Death Flame has a corresponding ring. Pick any ring and try it out..."
Although the ring in the box is not as high-grade as the Vongola ring, it is still an A-grade ring with a grand design and dazzling gemstones.
Looking at it makes you want to ask, is this gemstone real or fake?
Xia Youjie looked at the seven rings in the box and immediately took a liking to the one inlaid with a cyan gem. Unlike the one Rokudo Mukuro had used earlier, the gem on this ring was very beautiful, and its color was somewhat similar to Gojo Satoru's eyes.
Gojo Satoru went straight for a ring inlaid with a purple gemstone, picked it up, and happily put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
"Jay, look! Does it look good on me? It's the same color as your eyes!"
"Rain and cloud attributes, you two can try to ignite it?" Rokudo Mukuro reminded him. "Don't use your cursed power. Feel the other powers contained within your bodies, and then release them with the help of the rings."
The word "enlightenment" has a very broad meaning, but the hearts of passionate young people are never lacking in positive and firm will to protect, take responsibility, and become stronger. Therefore, a dazzling flame quickly ignited on the two rings.
Looking at the dazzling purple flames, Gojo Satoru was in high spirits. "I told you we were the strongest, it was too easy."
Xia Youjie smiled gently, knowing that learning how to use the Death Flame would be very helpful for their future.
"Some people may possess multiple attributes of the Death Flame. Would you like to try rings with other attributes?"
Both of them shook their heads simultaneously, quite satisfied with the color of the flames burning on their rings. Furthermore, once they understood how the energy of the Deathly Flame operated, they were certain they could master it with practice.
Gojo Satoru and Natsume returned the ring to Rokudo Mukuro.
Rokudo Mukuro then handed the rings to Yukimura Seiichi and the others, letting them try them on one by one.
Some people can light the flame quickly, while others are sweating profusely but make no progress for a long time.
"Don't worry too much. Very few people can light the flame in one go. You can try a few more times later." Rokudo Mukuro kindly comforted the dejected boys.
Rokudo Mukuro changed the subject, his smile becoming gentle and polite. He said earnestly to Yukimura Seiichi, "Yukimura-kun, you possess the Dying Will Flame of the Sky and Mist attributes. I wonder if you'd be interested in starting your own organization someday?"
Looking at Rokudo Mukuro's smile, Yukimura Seiichi felt a chill run down his spine. "What organization?"
“Vongola Branch…”
"How could you poach my partner?!"
Two voices rang in Yukimura Seiichi's ears at the same time.

Author's note: Rokudo Mukuro, who is working hard to open branches of the Vongola to other worlds, is definitely the hardest worker in the Vongola!
