Snap, snap, snap.
Watching his two followers get thoroughly beaten, Naoya Zenin didn't get angry. Instead, he started clapping from the sidelines.
"Very good. You truly are qualified to not take him seriously."
Naoya Zenin looked at Eiji with admiration.
"Hm?"
Eiji scratched his head, a bit confused.
You and I don't take him seriously either, so why do you seem to be filtering him out automatically?
The next moment, Naoya Zenin extended his hand towards Eiji.
"Serve me, Eiji. When I become the head of the Zenin Family, you will be the leader of the 'Bing'."
Seeing the self-righteous arrogance on Naoya Zenin's face, Eiji finally understood his thought process.
"You think you're some kind of crown prince, expecting everyone to revolve around you."
Despite Eiji's mockery, Naoya Zenin's expression didn't change much.
"The strong should possess everything. Moreover, you and I share the Zenin name."
Naoya Zenin spread his arms wide, as if embracing the entire world.
"I see. Zenin, then."
"Ah, because you are also 'Zenin'."
Because I am a strong 'Zenin', I am justified in my arrogance and can tolerate your mockery.
Those who are not Zenin are not sorcerers. Those who are not sorcerers are not human.
Eiji once again felt the twisted, feudalistic ideology of the Zenin Family.
"While your proposal is interesting..."
"Oh? Are there any other conditions? Tell me..."
"However, I refuse verbally."
"Huh?"
The unexpected refusal cut off Naoya Zenin's words.
A look of shock spread across Naoya Zenin's face.
He couldn't quite comprehend it.
Born into the Zenin Family, a born genius, inheriting the powerful Cursed Technique of the Zenin Family head...
The word "refuse" had never appeared in Naoya Zenin's life.
No, it appeared once before.
The image of an ancient beast flickered in Naoya Zenin's mind.
Those who are not sorcerers are not human.
This was a truth Naoya Zenin had known since childhood.
Therefore, the Heavenly Restriction user, who had no Cursed Energy and couldn't become a Jujutsu Sorcerer, should be weak and pathetic.
But the moment Naoya Zenin saw Toji Fushiguro, his worldview was profoundly shaken.
Naoya Zenin didn't see a weak and pathetic Toji Fushiguro.
He saw a dormant beast.
The instant Naoya Zenin saw Toji Fushiguro, he understood one thing.
This is an existence I cannot defeat.
This was the first time Naoya Zenin's worldview had been shaken.
And now, Naoya Zenin's worldview was facing its second shock.
"It seems I need to make you understand your place first."
A cold smile touched the corner of Naoya Zenin's lips.
There is no defense against speed.
Naoya Zenin didn't know this saying, but his less than 10 years as a Jujutsu Sorcerer could be summarized by it.
"With just you?"
Eiji's provocation completely ignited Naoya Zenin's rage.
Eiji, however, was unconcerned.
He had already applied Mahoraga's reinforcement to himself.
A surge of Cursed Energy flowed into Eiji's eyes, the ticklish sensation making him squint involuntarily.
This action made Naoya Zenin believe he had found an opening.
Projection Sorcery activated.
Naoya Zenin charged towards Eiji with extreme speed.
Naoya Zenin intended to crush Eiji with the fastest, most unstoppable force.
He wanted to make Eiji clearly recognize his own identity.
However, what Naoya Zenin didn't know was that his movements were completely captured by Eiji's eyes.
The distance for the first step was less than a meter, and the second step increased the distance as he charged in a straight line towards himself.
Facing Naoya Zenin's attack, Eiji easily dodged by simply shifting a few meters to the side.
Naoya Zenin's Cursed Technique is Projection Sorcery.
The ability of this Cursed Technique is to divide 1 second into 24 segments, and Naoya Zenin needs to design actions for each of these 24 segments in advance.
Then Naoya Zenin needs to imitate these 24 actions.
During this process, if the enemy is hit by himself, the enemy must act within 1/24th of a second.
Once they fail to act within 1/24th of a second, they will be frozen by Naoya Zenin's Cursed Technique and fall into a 1-second stiffening.
Conversely, Naoya Zenin must complete the 24 actions he designed in advance. If even one of these 24 actions is interrupted, he himself will also fall into a 1-second stiffening.
Information about Naoya Zenin's Cursed Technique is not a secret.
After all, when Naobito Zenin first appeared, Gege Akutami gave him a very high power level, positioning him as the ceiling for Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers.
However, later, in the battle with Sukuna, the title of strongest Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer was officially given to Kusokabe.
It's unknown if it's because Kusokabe has always been holding back.
Eiji had already prepared for the Cursed Techniques of Naoya Zenin and Naobito Zenin.
He had once asked Toji Fushiguro for advice on this matter.
The answer he received was that as long as you are fast enough, you don't need to be afraid.
Eiji asked Toji Fushiguro how fast he needed to be.
Toji Fushiguro, unable to describe it, directly demonstrated it to Eiji.
Mahoraga provided a suitable solution for Eiji during this demonstration through Toji Fushiguro's attacks and speed.
First, enhance dynamic vision to be able to capture the opponent's high-speed movements.
Then, stimulate the entire body with electricity to temporarily increase one's speed.
Naoya Zenin's attack confirmed Eiji's speed level.
Next, he just needed to endure one attack to allow Mahoraga to adapt.
"Are you just going to keep dodging?"
A single sentence from Naoya Zenin caused Eiji's thoughts to momentarily halt.
Your attack was ineffective. Shouldn't you understand now that you don't have the advantage and analyze the situation to find a way to make your attack effective?
Why do you think I'm dodging your attack because I'm afraid to face you head-on?
Do you really think your Projection Sorcery is that strong?
Never mind, adapting to Cursed Techniques can be done anytime. For now, I should beat this guy up first.
Eiji grinned, his finger joints cracking.
This smile, however, sent a chill down the spines of Ranta Zenin and Futo Zenin.
The smile looked both joyful and a little crazy.
Naoya Zenin paid no attention to this, as he believed he would win.
The victory of himself, the young master of the Zenin Family, was a foregone conclusion.
Naoya Zenin unleashed Projection Sorcery.
Flashes of lightning flickered across Eiji's body.
The two charged towards each other.
The next moment, Naoya Zenin stopped.
Literally and completely stopped.
Eiji, enveloped in lightning, displayed a speed far exceeding Naoya Zenin's expectations.
Projection Sorcery was only halfway through when Eiji reached Naoya Zenin.
This prevented Naoya Zenin from continuing his preset actions.
Naoya Zenin fell into a 1-second stiffening due to the backlash of his Cursed Technique.
At this moment, Naoya Zenin looked like a flat piece of glass with a portrait of Naoya Zenin drawn on it.
Naoya Zenin, like a producer, could only watch Eiji's fist fly towards his face.
