Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 151: Rotten Wood and Mars

The two girls in front of me were filled with shame and anger - it seemed that girls cared more about this aspect.

The slight depression and irritability in Su Ze's heart also dissipated.

Fushiguro Megumi was even more embarrassed.

Su Ze suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"You evil-minded person..." Zenin Maki gritted her teeth and whispered.

Su Ze's eyebrows curved and his smile became more intense.

"I'm sorry, Miss Maki, Miss Mayi - I didn't mean to offend."

In the end, he couldn't hide his smile and apologized softly.

"How about this... As compensation, I will do one thing for each of you - just ask for it, and I will do my best to do it."

Suze suggested with a smile.

"Really?" Zenin Maki's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again. She tilted her head slightly, "...No, forget it. Thank you for your kindness."

Zenin Maki held her sister's hand, applying a little force.

Su Ze's expression remained unchanged, still chuckling, taking in her reaction.

"What about Miss Zhenyi, do you have any wishes?" Su Ze looked at Zenyuan Zhenyi who was hiding behind her sister.

"Eh? No, no...I'll give my chance to my sister as well—" Zhenyi answered timidly.

"...Is that so?" Su Ze looked calm.

"No, these are not important--" Zenin Maki suddenly looked up at Su Ze, "Mr. Su, you are very strong, but you have very little cursed power... I want to know how you practice!"

She paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I also want to become stronger... just like you! If your promise just now is true, this is my "request" -"

Her wording was interesting, using the word "request" instead of "wish".

Moreover, Su Ze had noticed it very early on, and Gojo Satoru had also quietly conveyed the message to him - Zenin Maki's physique was very special.

She is "Heaven and Curse".

Same as Fushiguro Shigeki.

But the difference is that Maki and Mayi are "twins." In the world of sorcery, twins are considered absolutely "unlucky."

Especially a large family like "Zenyuan" with a long history and corrupt rules.

As for the specific manifestations of "bad luck" in the two sisters, they are also different.

As the younger sister, Mayi has awakened the technique but has little cursed power; as the older sister, Maki has a physique of "Heaven and Curse Bound" but has a trace of cursed power.

——The talents of both of them suffered a huge blow as a result.

"Hmm..." Su Ze stroked his chin and looked at them. There was a fiery light in his eyes, but there was no intimidating power.

"So that's how it is..." Su Ze closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Did my sister's "key magical power" go to my sister..."

Without that little bit of "critical cursed power", the younger sister Mayu is unable to maximize the effect of the technique; and the older sister Maki, who is burdened with the "Heaven and Curse Bound" and uses "curse power" to exchange for "physical strength", is poisoned by it.

The two sisters' faces suddenly changed when they heard this, and all the embarrassment from the past almost instantly appeared on their faces.

But Zenin Maki couldn't help but get excited - Su Ze could see their problem at a glance, so the probability that he had a solution naturally increased.

"Ms. Maki, before I respond to your "request", can I first ask you why you are so obsessed with becoming stronger?"

Su Ze looked a little serious.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and continued to add: "Of course, I will keep it a secret for you - you also saw the conflict with the Zen Temple just now, and I will not tell them."

Zenin Maki gritted her teeth lightly, and after a slight hesitation, she looked straight at Su Ze with a firm look in her eyes.

"I want to become the head of the Zen Temple and cleanse this extremely corrupt bastard family."

Her tone was calm and her eyes were burning.

"Is that so..." Su Ze squinted his eyes and chuckled, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"...Mr. Su, do you also think that I am overestimating my own abilities?" Seeing his reaction, Zenin Maki frowned slightly and asked directly.

"How could that be?" Su Ze opened his eyes and looked at her, "This is a great ideal."

He spoke sincerely.

Zenin Maki was surprised. She didn't expect Su Ze to be so sure of her, a "useless person" who couldn't even see the curse.

However, before she could ask excitedly, Su Ze said, "I'm sorry, Miss Maki, my training method is not suitable for you."

Zenin Maki's expression darkened in response, then she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "...It doesn't matter."

"I didn't have high expectations—"

Her tone was bitter.

Mayi held her sister's hand tightly, hoping to gain some comfort.

"Ms. Maki just said that I was "very strong." Su Ze did not continue the topic.

Zenin Maki looked up in confusion.

"Actually, you are also very strong." Su Ze said with a smile.

Maki was stunned for a moment, he thought the other party was mocking him - just like Zenin Naoya had always done before.

"There are two kinds of power—"

Su Ze said slowly: "One is 'external'. This kind of strength is the most recognized in a broad sense, and it is also the easiest to show...

"The other is 'inside'——"

Maki looked up at him blankly.

“Inside refers to the heart and spirit. It is different from the strength of the outside—it is not easy to be discovered and even harder to be recognized.”

Su Ze crossed one arm over his chest and gently touched his cheek with the other hand.

“But every truly strong person must have inner strength.”

Zenin Maki had been stunned by his theory.

……

The two sisters separated from Su Ze.

Su Ze and the other two returned to their temporary residence in the Zen temple.

"Satoru, you just saw it, right? Their so-called "Kujuru" team—"

Su Ze sat cross-legged on the tatami.

Gojo Satoru is eating snacks.

"Kukuru", a male guard team composed of Zenin family, none of the members have awakening rituals.

Su Ze continued: "The Zen House, which once occupied the top position of the three great families, could not avoid the large number of ordinary people without magic in the family - not to mention that most of their parents were born as sorcerers."

In the world of spellcasting, hereditary talent plays a big role. But even a family like the Zenin family, which has a deep foundation, cannot avoid this.

"Even the members of the Tojuliu team, which they themselves consider to be the 'lower class', are all male without exception." Su Ze put down his teacup and said softly.

——Feudal, decadent, and pretentious.

"You know, there is always a shortage of sorcerers, and this is a high-risk industry."

——Even so, Zen Temple was unwilling to allow a talented woman to become a sorcerer.

"Can the "Three Great Families" still take on the leading role in the world of sorcery?" Su Ze looked at Gojo Satoru with burning eyes.

Gojo Satoru was lying on the tatami with his legs crossed and a large bag of biscuits on his chest.

He swung his toes carelessly and responded casually: "Don't forget, Ze... "Gojo" is also one of the three great families."

"Of course I know. You are also the head of the family. Let's be honest about the situation of "Gojo". What do you think?"

Su Ze had a headache and propped up his head.

"... Explode quickly."

Gojo Satoru curled his lips and spoke softly.
