The Zenin Family Is Just This?

Lu Lu looked at the mess before him and the ashes vanishing into thin air, his gaze utterly unmoved.

"Good grief... Looks like things were worse than I thought."

When Lu Lu had first crossed over, he had thought this was some kind of special world.

But in all the years before he awakened his Stand, he had never noticed anything unusual.

He had let down his guard long ago.

He had never expected surprises to come so suddenly, so unexpectedly.

After Star Platinum appeared, he had originally thought this was one of the worlds from JJ.

Yet today, a Cursed Spirit had appeared out of nowhere.

That left Lu Lu somewhat confused. Was this JJ, or Jujutsu Kaisen?

Or perhaps...

"Tch... This is seriously more troublesome than a woman..."

Thinking of this, Lu Lu shook his head and made a dismissive sound.

He turned around, picked up the backpack from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and slowly headed home while absentmindedly pondering something.

Lu Lu had only crossed one street when the streetlamp beside him flickered.

The chirping insects and all other noises around him instantly vanished, leaving the surroundings deathly quiet.

Lu Lu sensed a fluctuation of cursed energy not far behind him.

"They say Stand Users are drawn to one another, but no one said sorcerers could be drawn to them too."

"Are you coming out on your own, or do I have to invite you out?"

With that, he turned around and took a step toward the darkness behind him.

Lu Lu's calm gaze remained fixed on the corner within that darkness, as tranquil and unruffled as the sea.

Slap...

At last, the people behind him lost their patience first. Two middle-aged men in casual clothes emerged from around the corner.

The two no longer concealed their cursed energy. Their powerful presence erupted in an instant, enveloping Lu Lu.

Seeing that Lu Lu's expression remained unchanged even now, a flash of admiration crossed the lead middle-aged man's eyes.

The two had followed the residual traces left at the scene and Lu Lu's aura all the way here.

The instant he saw Lu Lu, he was certain that this was an unregistered sorcerer who had awakened his abilities later in life.

Without any training or instruction after awakening on his own, he had actually managed to eliminate a Grade 4 Cursed Spirit independently—and looked completely unharmed...

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Lu Lu grew even more fervent. This kind of jujutsu talent was exactly what they had been searching for.

"Young man, there's no need to be afraid. We're the same kind of people as you."

As he spoke, cursed energy surged violently around him again, especially glaring in the silent surroundings.

"Regarding what you encountered earlier... we have a few questions we'd like to confirm with you. Would you be willing to come with us?"

On the surface, he was asking Lu Lu's opinion, but from both his tone and the pressure emanating from him, there was clearly no room for negotiation.

It was as though Lu Lu should follow him the moment he spoke.

Clearly, he had mistaken Lu Lu for an ordinary child who had just awakened cursed energy and knew nothing.

He thought a little intimidation would make Lu Lu obediently submit to his wishes.

Hearing him, a panicked expression flashed across Lu Lu's face, and he immediately pulled back the foot he had stepped forward with.

"May I ask... who are you?"

Seeing Lu Lu's reaction, the lead middle-aged man wore a satisfied smile. No matter how talented he is, he's still just a brat.

Unfortunately, he failed to notice the faint mockery hidden in Lu Lu's eyes.

With a friendly smile, he said to Lu Lu, "We are members of the Zenin Family, one of the three great families of the Jujutsu Society..."

Just as expected...

When Lu Lu first saw the man's conduct, he had already wondered whether he might be from the Zenin Family.

After all, they were the only ones who recruited sorcerers from outside their bloodline to consolidate the Zenin Family's standing in the Jujutsu Society.

"Oh... one of the three great families of the Jujutsu Society..."

Lu Lu remarked with a smile.

Just as the Zenin Family man thought Lu Lu would agree, Lu Lu's expression suddenly turned serious and his smile vanished.

"I'm not interested. Leave."

The man had thought Lu Lu would agree the next second. Hearing those words, his expression froze.

"What did you say?"

The lead middle-aged man's expression twisted slightly.

Lu Lu turned away and said casually, "I don't like repeating myself, but since you enjoy listening so much, I'll say it one more time."

"I don't care whether you're one of the three great families or the Zenin Family. I have no interest in places where trash gathers."

As he spoke, he even shrugged, as though he truly disdained associating with the Zenin Family.

"You ignorant little brat! Who do you think you are, spouting such nonsense and daring to disrespect the Zenin Family?!"

"Today, I'll teach you a proper lesson on behalf of the Zenin Family!"

As he spoke, blue cursed energy burst from his body, spread across his entire form, and finally gathered around his fist.

Whoosh...

Wrapped in immense power and cursed energy, his fist shot toward Lu Lu at high speed.
