Call Me Clan Head!
"Maki has awakened the ' Heavenly Restriction '?!"
Shen Yi's words caused Shan to gasp involuntarily.
As someone from the same era as Toji, Fan had also witnessed the fighting prowess of the previous "Heavenly Restriction," Toji.
He never imagined that his daughter, whom he considered useless, would actually awaken the fully-fledged "Heavenly Restriction"!
Suddenly, Maki withdrew her fist.
She ignored Naoya, who was fast asleep at the bottom of the pit, raised her eyes, and shouted loudly at the fan:
"How dare you! How dare you call Maki name?"
"I am now the twenty-seventh head of the Zenin Clan."
You must call me Master!
Akuta's words caused Shan's face to flush instantly.
He never imagined that one day he would have to call his daughter, whom he had always regarded as a good-for-nothing, "Master of the Family"!
This is worse than death!
The Zenin nearby also had a stiff expression.
His gaze swept over Maki, and the familiar sense of oppression made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Heavenly Restriction!"
As Zenji's Toji brother, no one in the Zenin Clan understood the meaning of those four words better than him.
That disdainful look in her eyes is exactly the same as the Maki standing in front of me now!
Shen subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to meet Maki's gaze.
The old man sat to the side, motionless as if he hadn't seen anything.
His expression remained unchanged throughout.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Maki was more serious than before.
Naobito Zenin... is this your choice?
Just then, Megumi Fushiguro, who had been brought in to witness the will, couldn't help but look at Maki.
He cautiously moved closer to Maki and lowered his voice.
"Maki, forgive my bluntness, but it's only your first day in office."
Before he could finish speaking, Akuta abruptly turned and glared at Megumi Fushiguro.
"That's the head of the family too!"
Megumi Fushiguro shrank back and wisely shut his mouth.
Ogi Zenin's face turned pale and then red, and after a long silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Home... Master of the house."
Akuta nodded in satisfaction, his gaze passing over Ogi Zenin and landing on Zen Zenin Jinichi.
"And you?"
Zenin Shinichi's body stiffened slightly.
He kept his head down, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Master of the family."
Compared to Ogi Zenin's reluctance, Zenin Shinichi's voice was much more straightforward.
And for some reason, my neck has been feeling cold ever since just now.
His intuition told him that if he didn't go along with Maki, something terrible would happen!
Akuta's smile deepened.
"Why didn't you do this sooner?"
"We're all relatives, it's much better to get along peacefully. Why resort to violence? What kind of talk is that?"
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the pit, glanced down at Naoya was still unconscious, and clicked his tongue twice.
"Look at this child, so young yet so hot-tempered. Now look what's happened, he'll need to sleep for a while."
Maki's mother knelt in the hallway, able to see everything clearly through the open door.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, but the corners of her mouth were turned up in a smile.
The daughter who was looked down upon by everyone now stands at the center of power in the Zenin Clan, making those who once humiliated her bow down in submission.
"Maki..."
The atmosphere in the meeting room eased considerably, but this brief moment of warmth did not last long.
Maki regains control of her body.
"Alright, let's put aside catching up and get down to business."
He looked towards the ancient building.
"Mr. Furudate, you've already confirmed your uncle Naobito Zenin's will. When can the handover process for the head of the family begin?"
Gu Guan pulled a booklet from his sleeve, flipped through it, and glanced at it.
According to the rules of the Zenin Clan, the succession of a new head of the family requires three steps.
First, the will has been confirmed; this step has already been completed.
Second, I will make a public announcement within the clan. I will convene all branch leaders within three days to formally announce this matter.
third..."
He paused, then looked up at Akuta.
"Third, the succession ceremony for the family head needs to be held within a month, at which time representatives from all the major families in the Jujutsu Society will come to observe the ceremony."
"A month?"
Maki frowned.
The Culling Game has already begun, and Satoru Gojo is still sealed away; she doesn't have that much time to do these useless things.
"Can you hurry it up? How about three days?"
A hint of embarrassment finally appeared on Gu Guan's face.
"Master, three days is truly..."
"Then five days."
Maki held up five fingers, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
"The announcement and ceremony will be held together. We'll invite as many people as we can, and send out notices to those who can't attend. In these extraordinary times, everything should be kept simple."
The old man remained silent for a moment, then slowly closed the booklet.
"Understood."
Ogi Zenin's face was extremely grim.
His daughter, whom he considered worthless, not only awakened the "Heavenly Restriction" power, but also rightfully took the position of head of the family with the will of the Naobito Zenin.
How could he accept that?
In the midst of this silent stalemate, Akuta suddenly logged back in.
He grinned, revealing a bright smile.
"That... Little Fan."
Akuta's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the conference room.
Maki instinctively tried to regain control of her body, but Akuta raised his hand, signaling her not to move.
Zen Ogi Zenin looked stunned, as if he hadn't quite grasped the situation.
He looked around and confirmed that he was the only person named "Fan" present. Only then did he realize that the "Little Fan" that "Maki" was calling was him.
Ogi Zenin's face flushed red. He took two deep breaths and forcibly calmed the anger in his heart.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Master...?"
Akuta smiled and waved his hand.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you're not young anymore, it's time for you to retire."
I think you should cancel your position at "Bing" from now on. It's time for you to go back and enjoy your retirement.
Ogi Zenin was taken aback, then looked at Maki with a cold expression.
What do you mean by that?
"Bing" is a group of sorcerers directly under the Zenin Clan, and only sorcerers of the Zenin Clan at or above the Semi-Grade 1 can join.
Moreover, within the Zenin Clan, "Bing" is a rather important group.
Joining "Bing" is an essential prerequisite for becoming a member of the management team at the Zenin Clan.
For Ogi Zenin, who craved power, being forced to leave "Bing" was no different from sending him to his death!
Akuta stood up and spoke excitedly.
"I am also heartbroken to make this decision. Now that Satoru Gojo has been sealed away and the Culling Game has begun."
As one of the Big Three Families, our Zenin Clan must find a way to stand up, eliminate the Kenjaku, and restore order to the Jujutsu Society!
He looked at the Ogi Zenin and continued in a sorrowful tone.
"I can already imagine that we will definitely encounter a lot of dangers later on."
With your abilities, old man, getting involved would only be a hindrance. It's better if you don't participate; I'm only thinking about your safety."
