Chapter 16 - Improvement

The problem that had been haunting the jujutsu sorcerer society from ancient times was solved just like that by Suzuki, yet despite how amazing it was, he didn't really show much of surprise since unlike the supernatural that always tried to maintain the mystery, and always explained in ambiguity, the science had always told the truth, and even in mathematics, there had always be one answer. 

Everything was determined, with no ambiguity, which made people always wonder, at a loss, as if their fate had always been suffering, or as if suffering had always been something they should accept instead of trying to change their own fate, which made Suzuki want to beat them up! 

Yes, he wanted to beat all of them because they really put no effort into changing themselves. 

Frankly, he knew well that he couldn't act this way, as everyone's situation was different, and he also came from a huge, prestigious jujutsu sorcerer clan, and also the son of the clan head, yet the others didn't know that the fact that his clan was about to go extinct had always been something that was haunting him. 

More importantly, his clan was shitty, and it was simply the worst type of family that one could ever think of, as everyone treated each other like trash, and if one wasn't born as talented or strong, then they would be treated worse than livestock. 

While the others had another path for them, as they could choose a normal life, Suzuki couldn't do so since, as he was born in this family, he was fated to become the jujutsu sorcerer, and if he didn't try to become one, he would be either bullied, forced to become a slave, or killed. 

Or rather, he might even be used as canon fodder or bait to attract the cursed spirits by others! 

Yes, while others saw the privilege that he had gotten, they forgot what kind of hard work he had done to maintain all of that privilege and strengthen himself, so his fate wouldn't become shitty. 

If Suzuki could do so, and he was even capable of joining Kyoto University and getting a master's degree, then while the others might not be able to get what he got, they could at least get 20% or 10% of what he had worked for, right? 

By then, even if it was just a small amount, it was far better than living while loathing himself. 

However, Suzuki also knew that in many cases, the people's situation was like Mai and Maki, who were clueless about the fact that they could change their fate, as everyone around them told them that it was impossible, and those who were kind just comforted them instead of trying to push them further, trying to break away the shackles. 

Yup, while kindness might be comfortable for those who were at the bottom, he felt that it was the cruelest thing that one could ever do to someone, since compared to the harsh reality that could temper their hearts, wills, and their further potentials, so they could be their betterselves, the kindness made them stagnant, and accepted who they were. 

Some people might be okay with it, but for Mai and Maki, whose fates probably be used as a tool for political marriage, bullying, or even turned into slaves by the family, the kindness was the cruelest thing ever. 

As for him? 

Suzuki had never been so kind as Mai, and Maki also knew that he wasn't kind.

After all, when others tried to bother him, he would give twice as much revenge, making them live in hell, which made others afraid of him, and could only mock him from behind by calling him "Nerd." 

Regardless, Suzuki knew that he had solved the twin curse that had been haunting Mai and Maki. 

"Try it first."

"....." 2x

Maki and Mai couldn't say a single word as they could feel their change, and how they had grown ever stronger! 

Maki, with her physical ability that grew even like a superhuman, and Mai, whose cursed energy became so immense that she had no need to supply her cursed energy to Maki's. 

"Nii-san..." 

Maki looked at Suzuki with a moved expression as if she wanted to say thank you, yet as she wasn't a talker, she wasn't sure what to say. 

"I love you!" 

Yet, Mai was more straightforward and kissed Suzuki's cheek. 

"Don't kiss me like that. Your saliva makes my cheek wet." 

Suzuki sighed helplessly as he wiped his cheek. 

"YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL LIKE ME TO KISS YOU!" 

As Mai roared in anger, Maki hesitated for a while before doing nothing. 

"Okay, okay, first, let's try your One-Way Valve Binding Vow first, to make sure that everything is okay." 

"Yes." 2x

When Suzuki was able to show that he could solve their curse, which was something that was impossible in the eyes of everyone from the eons era, they listened to them carefully about the explanation of the cursed tool that he had crafted and the binding vow, which was implemented within it. 

Instead of Mai dying to take the cursed energy away from Maki's body, Suzuki engineered a specific Binding Vow facilitated by a Cursed Tool, the chocker, which he crafted. 

The choker around Maki's neck acts as a siphon, creating a pressure differential. It constantly forces the residual cursed energy in Maki's body to flow back into Mai through their innate twin link.

The result for Maki was that she artificially achieved zero cursed energy. The "leak" was plugged. Her Heavenly Restriction was fully activated, giving her the body of Toji Fushiguro without Mai needing to die.

The result for Mai was a massive surge of energy. She had her own reserve of the cursed energy within herself, plus the energy that had been wasted on Maki. Her cursed energy capacity tripled from its original, solving her main weakness (running out of gas).

With this, the curse had been solved, and there was no need for a tragedy where Mai had to die for Maki and did all the revenge by killing the entire Zenin Clan for her little sister. 

At this moment, at this time, and at this place, Suzuki was able to erase the tragedy that was about to befall the two sisters, which made him sigh in relief. 

"Now, how about we try it?" Mai suddenly said with a smile. 

"You are right." Maki nodded with a smug expression. "Suzuki-niisan, you don't mind having a little spar with us, right?" 

"....." Suzuki. 

The two of them were eager to taste their new power, and they wanted to beat him up together! 

Still, if it was before, Suzuki might have refused and even run away, as he knew well that the combination of Maki and Mai was simply deadly, but as they improved as they had their curse vanish, he also improved his projection sorcery by creating a new technique known as—

"Sure, I also have a new technique, too." 

"Huh? Really?" 

"Yup." 

"Did you name this technique?" 

"I do." Suzuki nodded as a heavy, bass-like sound echoed through the space as he uttered the name of the new creation with his innate ability, "King Crimson."
