Reforming the Zenin Family

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting room plummeted to freezing point.

Mai stared wide-eyed at Shenyi in disbelief.

Megumi Fushiguro's lips twitched, and she silently took half a step to the side.

Even the usually expressionless Furudate raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

Zenin Shenyi stood ramrod straight, his gaze fixed on the Akuta.

He's gambling.

It's important to know that after "Maki" took over, she offended Naoya, a candidate for head of the family.

If she wants to manage the Zenin Clan well in the future, she will definitely need the help of him, a core member of "Bing"!

If he takes a firm enough stance, "Maki" will have no choice but to back down.

If Maki backs down this time, her prestige in the Zenin Clan will be greatly diminished.

Shen Yi's little scheme was going on and on.

However, to his utter surprise, Akuta's expression brightened with delight upon hearing his words.

Akuta's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. He seemed to have heard some incredibly good news, and his tone was filled with barely suppressed anticipation.

Is it really true?

Shen Yi was completely bewildered.

"What?"

Before Shen could react, Akuta burst into laughter.

"Then it's settled! Today is truly a double celebration!"

Shen Yi's mind was completely blank.

Something's not right.

Shouldn't she have tried to keep me?

Shouldn't we compromise?

Shouldn't we politely ask them to return the fan?

This looks like they're hoping I'll quit!

The Akuta gave Shen no time to react.

"I hereby announce that, from this moment forward, Zenin- Yuan Jin-ichi is officially withdrawing from 'Bing' and will return to the countryside to retire with Kosuke!"

He turned to look at the ancient building, speaking rapidly like a machine gun.

"Mr. Furudate, write this down! Arrange a room for Jinichi in that old house in the Kyoto countryside as well!"

It would be perfect to be neighbors with Xiaoshan; we could even play chess together when we have free time!

"I see."

Without batting an eye, Gu Guan pulled a pen from his sleeve, opened the booklet, and began to take notes.

Shen Yi finally realized what was happening.

"No, no, no!"

He was completely distraught, waving his hands frantically.

However, Akuta did not give Shen Yi a chance to back out.

He crossed his arms and stared at Shen Yi with wide eyes.

"Is something wrong, Shen Yi?"

Akuta's gaze made Shen Yi's words catch in his throat.

He opened and closed his mouth, and after a long while, he replied listlessly.

"Yes, yes."

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides was going so well, Akuta waved his hand.

"Then it's settled. Shenyi, go back and hand over your work, then pack your bags with Xiaoshan and try to leave today."

He paused, then added.

"Oh, and remember to give my regards to Xiao Shan. Tell him to take good care of himself in the countryside and not to worry about these trivial matters at the Zenin Clan."

Shen Yi's body swayed slightly.

He finally realized what a foolish thing he had done.

"Maki" is not afraid of losing him, a core member of "Bing".

From the very beginning, she was eager to completely purge the old power of the Zenin Clan!

Mai stood to the side, looking at Zenin, whom she had once dared not even look directly at.

At this moment, she was being manipulated by her own sister, and she couldn't help but purse her lips, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Akuta stopped looking at Guan Shenyi and instead focused his gaze on Gu Guan.

"Mr. Furudate, I'm entrusting the family handover to you. Please complete the ceremony within three days, as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Master."

Gu Guan stood up and bowed slightly to Akuta.

Akuta then turned to look at Megumi Fushiguro.

"Fushiguro, you will remain at the Zenin Clan for the time being and assist Mr. Furudate in handling the handover matters as a witness to the will."

"... knew."

Akuta looked at Mai last time.

His gaze softened.

"Mai, you're in charge of Bing's side. If anyone's unhappy, let him come talk to me."

Mai was stunned, then nodded vigorously.

I won't let you down.

In the following days, the feudal machine of the Zenin Clan began to run at full speed.

To the astonishment of the entire Jujutsu Society, Maki Zenin became the twenty-seventh head of the Zenin Clan on November 3, 2018.

Although Naoya still wanted to compete with Maki for the position of head of the family after waking up, Naoya chose to temporarily avoid confrontation under the absolute pressure of Akuta Maki's strength.

Upon assuming the position of head of the Maki immediately implemented the first reforms of the Zenin Clan.

Maki's first strike was aimed at the Zenin Clan's direct group of sorcerers, leaving the entire group intact.

She drastically reduced the number of people remaining in the Zenin Clan's family corps, eliminating most of them who were unwilling to become Jujutsu Sorcerer or who lacked the necessary skills.

Maki slashed at the handyman with her second strike.

She fired most of the janitors at the Zenin Clan and replaced them with cleaning companies that regularly came to clean the place.

Upon receiving this order, the entire Zenin Clan was overjoyed!

Let's party!

In fact, the feudalism of the Zenin Clan was largely preserved by a few old folks in the Zenin Clan.

It's already the 21st century, and even people from the Zenin Clan have gone to school and experienced modern society.

Most of them actually didn't want to stay in the Zenin Clan anymore and wanted to rebel or even Zenin Clan.

But they dare not!

Not everyone has Maki's courage and resources.

Although Maki has no Cursed Technique or Cursed Energy, she is Ougi's daughter and Naobito Zenin's niece!

She had conditions that ordinary Zenin Clan wouldn't even dare to dream of.

That means being able to have close conversations with the Naobito Zenin!

Thanks to this special condition, Maki successfully left the Zenin Clan and joined the Jujutsu High.

Maki could never have done this without Naobito Zenin's approval.

Ordinary Zenin monks may even face life-threatening situations if they want to leave the Zenin Clan.

Many Jujutsu Sorcerer, if they don't leave the Jujutsu Society, don't even know that murder is a crime!

Maki killed so many Zenin Clan, yet no one called the police to arrest her.

Maki could commit murder, others certainly could too.

In the Zenin Clan, Kento Nanami, who can actively choose whether or not to become Jujutsu Sorcerer, are practically nonexistent.

Anyone in the Zenin Clan with the talent of a sorcerer is forced to join the Body-Gathering Team; they have no choice but to join. Who told you to be so unlucky as to be born into the Zenin Clan?

You can refuse if you wish, but you'll need to prepare for your reincarnation first.

Unless you possess Special Grade strength, don't even think about leaving the Zenin Clan peacefully.

Therefore, for the sake of their own lives.

Although many of them didn't actually want to become Jujutsu Sorcerer, they didn't dare tell the Zenin Clan and could only stay in the Kujuru team waiting to die.

It's important to know that Jujutsu Sorcerer have very short lifespans.

After joining the Corpse-Handling Squad, one will inevitably die in some kind of Cursed Spirit incident within a few months, a few years, or at most a dozen or twenty years.

This has nothing to do with one's own strength. Weak Jujutsu Sorcerer are killed by weak Cursed Spirit, while strong Jujutsu Sorcerer are killed by strong Cursed Spirit.

Aren't the heads of the Zenin Clan strong?

But the last two heads of the family both died at the hands of the Cursed Spirit.

In all these years of the Zenin Clan, it's practically impossible for anyone to retire alive like a fan.

To a certain extent, Akuta to force Ougi into retirement was truly an act of Maki piety on Maki's behalf.

Otherwise, he could have assigned Shan more tasks; who knows, he might have died at the hands of some Cursed Spirit.
