Chapter 147
There are ways of tuning magic that work quickly, just like the one Chaldea used to transplant the mystery of Einzbern into Tenuchi Riko; but the tuning of the twin sisters of the Zenin family this time is completely different - Lansemello, who is in charge of leading the implementation of the tuning magic, took out the same posture as when he tuned Kirshtalia, bringing a rather terrifying rule to the two girls who have just entered the world of magic.
"Should I thank the deputy director for showing mercy to me when he was tuning the piano?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the rules that the twin sisters of the Zenin family were required to follow, and subconsciously asked Kirshtalia beside him, "The intensity of this tuning - why do I feel like it has something a bit like Gray's?"
"This reference sample of tuning magic is the tuning magic that Gray received and the tuning magic of the double-faced Tai Ze Luma." Kirshtalia lowered her eyes and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka standing in front of her, and explained to her simply, "It also has some aspects related to the concept of Dioscuri and the calculation results of Animusphia on the sun and the moon."
"Besides, the core concept of our tuning magic at that time was 'Heaven', 'Earth' and 'Man' - 'Man' was the only anchor point that didn't need too much intervention, because 'Man' was just a man." Kirshtalia sighed helplessly, "The only thing to worry about is whether they can stick to it and whether they will be afraid of this code."
"Moreover, in order to coordinate with the unfolding of tuning magic, they will be implanted with fragments of gods - that is, they will have to carry out the process of making the first generation of magic imprints at the same time. They need to endure the rejection reaction of burying foreign objects in their bodies, and in such great pain, they will infect the foreign objects at the core with their magic, and only then will it be considered complete."
Although he learned from Kirshtalia what kind of transformation the twin sisters of the Zenin family would undergo, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not face such a scene directly - the only people who appeared at the scene, besides the regular members of the infirmary, were the magicians in charge of performing tuning magic.
Naoko Ieiri was called by her medical teachers to observe - after all, in modern times, there is no such method to create the first generation of magic seals.
"What is this?"
After arriving at the surgical site, the first thing that Naoko Ieiri noticed was the objects placed on two different trays - one was golden like sunlight, and the other was silver like moonlight with a little unusual gold interlaced.
"Nose." Before anyone could answer her question, Ieiri Sose was stopped by Roman, who was holding the tray with the golden substance. "Considering the need for tuning magic, the implants on both sides will be carried out at the same time - do you want to follow Asclepius or come to my side?"
"I'll come to the doctor's side." Ieiri Naoko looked at Asclepius standing beside the other bed, and decisively chose to observe Roman's operation. "By the way, is there any difference between the two sides?"
"It can be said that they are completely different." Roman smiled helplessly and looked at the group of magicians belonging to Animusphia leaning against the wall. "This time, the mysterious implantation surgery of the alien object is determined according to the calculation of the astronomy department Animusphia. The time and implantation site of the surgery are determined - and the alien objects that need to be implanted in Maki and Mayi are also different."
"We are in charge of Maki's surgery, and we will be implanting Apollo's wool and Castor's hair. Asclepius is in charge of Mayi, and will be implanting Artemis and Pollux's hair. Asclepius hates anything related to Apollo, so I took this plate first."
All the details of the tuning and all the requirements of the surgery are based on the calculations of the movement of celestial bodies by the astronomical department "Animusphia" - Zenin Maki's left forearm will be implanted with the part representing the sun and the older of the two geminis, while Zenin Mayi will have the part representing the moon and the younger of the two geminis implanted in her right forearm.
"Otherwise, we should have started tuning the rhythm on the first day they arrived." Lansemero glanced at the shadowless lights on both sides of the operating tables and reminded everyone to prepare for the operation. "If it was just a normal mirror image, the operation could have been performed on the full moon day before - but because it's a twin, the time was moved back to today."
The sun and the moon rise and set together - just like Gemini walking together.
"It's time."
Marisbury watched the electronic clock on the wall jump to the designated time and announced the start of the operation. At the same time, Roman and Asclepius simultaneously cut open the designated implantation sites on the twin sisters' arms, and after the depth and length reached the standards, they buried the prepared divine fragments into the incision.
For the magician's implant surgery, the trouble is never the disinfection or other problems of ordinary surgery - but certain steps with magical significance must not go wrong - for example, in today's implant surgery, after the foreign object is buried, all actions will be performed according to the requirements of tuning magic.
"I'm going to start sewing."
Asclepius stopped what he was doing and looked at Roman on the other side.
"How many stitches?"
This is Roman holding the suture thread after finishing the operation of burying the foreign object.
"Four stitches, five millimeters apart—any additional requirements from Animusphia?"
This is Asclepius using tweezers to hold up the sewing needle.
"Needle insertion direction and suturing technique requirements - Zenin Maki inserted the needle on the left side of the wound and performed simple intermittent sutures; Zenin Shin'ei inserted the needle on the right side of the wound and used the same suturing technique as above."
This is Kirshtalia standing with Olgamari and observing the situation.
At the same time, the magic circles prepared in advance under the two operating beds lit up with a fluorescent blue light - Zenin Maki's body gradually lit up with the same fluorescent light as the magic circuit on Zenin Mai's body.
The tuning magic has been put into practice, and the magic circuit of Zenin Mai has been copied to Zenin Maki, completing the activation of the magic circuit and the flow of magic power - this is a projection magic prepared based on the characteristics of the "Libra" and "sisters" of the Edelfeld family, which will bind them more thoroughly into one person in the mysterious side.
"Maki's physical qualities should have been projected onto Mayi as well." Olgamari turned a page of notes and exchanged glances with Kirshtalia. "The next step is the boring tuning process. The calculations required to match the celestial bodies have all been completed. It depends on whether the two of them can resist the rejection reaction and persevere."
——This was the first generation magic seal implantation surgery completed in the Chaldea operating room on January 28, 2017.
To the surprise of most people, the twins of the Zenin family not only withstood the pain brought by the rejection reaction, but their progress in tuning magic was also amazing - in the first semester of the new school year, Gojo Satoru, the first-year homeroom teacher, was sent out by Yaga Masamichi to pick up the new students, but he actually mistook them for each other in the high school.
"Let me introduce you to these two, they are your classmates too!" Gojo Satoru jumped up and down in amazement at the new students he had brought back, and extended his hand to introduce the twins of the Zenin family to them, "This one is Zenin Maki, and the other one is Zenin Mayi - they are the twins of the Zenin family, one of the top three families in the world of Jujutsu. Well, they have nothing to do with the family now!"
"Gojo-sensei, I'm Mayi."
"I'm Maki."
Although the two spoke at the same time, Gojo Satoru was still keenly aware of the difference in the length of their sentences - and that he had indeed recognized the wrong person.
"...You mistook them too?" In the building that belonged to Ieiri Shoko and was converted from a teaching building into a medical room, an autopsy room, and a morgue, Kagome looked at Gojo Satoru in surprise as he abandoned his students and ran to see him first. "Your six eyes can't tell the difference either?"
"No, if I think about it carefully now, there is still a difference." Gojo Satoru shook his head at his two contemporaries and ripped off the bandage he used to filter information. "But at first glance, if you don't look carefully, you will be confused - can't you ask Chaldea if they can give them some marks that won't affect the tuning effect?"
"This is the mysterious identity that Chaldea mentioned." Ieiri Naoko kicked the wall and slid her office chair between the two simultaneous people. "In other words, the two of them are closer to being the same person. The information collected by Gojo's six eyes is mainly related to cursed energy. You can't tell the difference. All you can say is that their cursed energy has changed from two people using the same amount of cursed energy to two people evenly distributing the same amount of cursed energy."
"What will the final tuning result be like?" Gojo Satoru, who has not listened to the lectures properly since graduation, asked the two classmates who listened to the lectures carefully.
"When the tuning is complete..." Xia Yujie paused and looked at Gojo Satoru, "I'm afraid even your six eyes won't be able to tell them apart - unless there's a spell related to the soul, there's no way to tell who is who from other sources. But Chaldea will prepare identification marks, so you don't have to worry about that."
"However, according to Chaldea, there are actually some special cases that can distinguish the twins." Ieiri Naoko thought for a moment, looking at the two peers in front of her, one black and one white. "But that kind of thing is completely a gift - because they said that as long as your intuition or luck is strong enough, you should be able to tell them apart."
"By the way, Gojo, are there any interesting people among the freshmen?"
"I remember that this year there should be a cursed panda made by Principal Yemo, right?" Kagome turned his head to look at Ieiri Naoko, remembering the black and white figure who was raised by everyone like the Fushiguro siblings, "Then there are Maki and Mayi, and the ones who were recruited from outside are the curse master Inumaki Satoru and Otsutsukota, whose technique is still uncertain... right?"
"There's one more person - Rika Kimoto, but she's not a magician." Gojo Satoru paused, then leaned against the wall in a rather awkward manner. "But this time Chaldea is going to teach them magic, so I'm just a nominal homeroom teacher like our teacher at the time - Rika and Yuta are childhood sweethearts."
“… I don’t know what Kyouta’s technique is yet, but I think it’s very interesting.” Gojo Satoru re-tied his bandages and said to his two peers with a smile, “You should know what El-Melloi’s magic costume is, right? I asked Tsutomu and Kyouta to try to exorcise a low-level cursed spirit—”
"Then I saw a magical force object next to Yuta that was exactly the same as the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid."
