"How ridiculous!"
"That's impossible!"
"It's treason! It's treason! We have to kill him!"
"Send the entire Jujutsu sorcery to catch him! We have to punish him for his mistakes!"
"We have to give an example to everyone of what will happen if they try to break the rules!"
The moment it was announced that Suzuki Zenin became the Clan Head of the Zenin Clan by defeating all of the members of the Zenin Clan, from the Kukuru Units, the Hei Units, and even the previous clan head, Naobito Zenin, no one could stay calm, and the Elders directly announced that Suzuki was the Cursed User. This evil human sorcerer uses jujutsu with evil intent!
Suzuki Zenin.
While in the Jujutsu world, many would be familiar with Gojo Satoru, the strongest man under the heaven. Many were also familiar with Suzuki Zenin, the guy who ignored the Jujutsu world to enter Kyoto University to become a lecturer, earning a PhD, and who could also become a professor in this area!
In the eyes of normal people, Suzuki was amazing and even admired, but in the world of jujutsu, he was a lunatic!
How could someone who wielded a special, supernatural power do normal work in society!?
If the work were normal, like Nanami Kento, who worked as a stock agent, no one would care. Still, Suzukii Zenin was a lecturer at one of the country's most prestigious universities!
This... this was so troublesome in the eyes of the Elders, as they didn't want someone to change the nature of the Jujutsu world, as they were comfortable with it, and they didn't want to lose all of their privilege!
Yes, privilege!
All of them were used to being pampered, living in luxury, funded by the Jujutsu Sorcerers who worked under them and by secret government funding.
The status quo of the Jujutsu World in this country was clear: they didn't want anything to change, so they labelled Suzuki as a Cursed User and had to execute him!
Yet, how did they do that?
Weren't the Elders just a group of elderly people who hid behind paper screens, talking about all of those useless things, without any real powers within their bodies, like Suzuki, who could glitch by using his Projection Sorcery, or Gojo Satoru, whose ability was clear to everyone?
Yes, they might be useless, and had no powers at all, except for the bureaucracy and money, but under them, they had total control over the "Big Three Families," the Zenin Clan, the Kamo Clan, and also the Gojo Clan.
Yet, was it so easy?
After all, the fact that one of the strongest Jujutsu clans in this country was just beaten, defeated by a single man, and at that moment, the entire Kamo Clan was in a deep panic!
"How did he do that?!"
"Hurry up and search all of the records of the battle!"
"It's impossible! The fight happens too fast! We also don't have much of a record of him!"
If Suzuki Zenin often went to fight on the front line and acted as the Jujutsu Sorcerer, they wouldn't be in a panic, as they might be able to gather some information about his strength and prepare accordingly. Yet they realized they didn't have much information about him.
When Suzuki decided to enter Kyoto University and was accepted, he focused on physics. Everyone disdained and mocked him, thinking he was just a failure for not following tradition, yet this was also why the Kamo Clans and others had been ignoring him!
Yet, who would have thought that the maverick of the Zenin Clan, who was famous for their muscleheads, would be the one who would defeat the entire clan by himself and become the next head in the next second!
"The Elders have contacted us to attack the Zenin Clan!"
"....." Everyone.
"W-What should we do?"
"S-Should we attack?"
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! DO YOU WANT TO SEND OUR MEN TO THE GROUP OF THOSE MAD DOGS?!"
"....."
Mad dog.
Probably the best way to describe the Zenin Clan is that, unlike the rest of the clans and people, it was extremely toxic yet had the most militarized, traditionalist estate in Japan.
More importantly, all of them knew the number one trait of the Zenin Clan, which was to submit to the strongest.
The fact that Suzuki could defeat all the clan members by himself and become the clan head means the entire clan was under his control.
If all the members of the Kamo Clan decided to attack Suzuki, wouldn't they be surrounded by the entire Zenin Clan, and also Suzuki, whose prowess was enough to defeat the entire Zenin Clan?
"Elders, what should we do?"
"The Elders at the headquarters have been urging us!"
"They told us to make our preparations to hunt down Suzuki Zenin as soon as possible!"
"..."
The elders of the Kamo Clan looked at each other, completely tied, yet in the end, they made their decision.
"Tell them that our clan is in a critical situation, and we have to solve our problem, but tell them, when we finish, we will send our men as soon as possible."
What did they do?
They chickened out.
On the outside, they might proudly tell the world of their blood manipulation ability. Yet, they knew well that, compared to the barbarism of the Zenin Clan, which didn't care about death and allowed their clan members to die, so long as their goal was achieved, it was better to lie down as they waited for the Elders to finish the problem themselves.
More importantly, they knew the Elders had one trump card that could handle any situation.
Yes, it was the strongest man under heaven.
The one and only.
Gojo Satoru.
"No way~!"
Yet, Gojo, who was ordered, stuck out his tongue childishly as he rejected the Elders' offer. "I don't want to~!"
"But, Gojo-san.... the Jujutsu world is in a critical situation! This man defeated the entire Zenin Clan and became the new Clan Head!"
"Hahahaha!"
Yet, Gojo only laughed. "Isn't that hilarious?! That's great! I approve! Also, I have jobs that I have to finish as they gave me a lot of jobs before, so I have to go, sayonara~!"
He didn't even wait for their reactions; he vanished using teleportation.
"..."
"W-What should we do?"
Still, there was nothing they could do except give their reports to the Elders, and as expected, all of them were stumped since they couldn't send anyone.
Once again, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups projected an image of absolute authority, but in reality, they were just old men hiding behind paper screens. They enforced their laws using the military muscle of the Big Three Families.
This was also because of this, they wondered who they should send to execute Suzuki?
They can't send the Zenin Clan because it now works for Suzuki.
They can't send the Kamo Clan because it's terrified and will not risk heavy casualties in a fight against a unified Zenin force.
They can't send Satoru Gojo because Gojo hates the Elders and thinks the Scholar is hilarious.
"W-What should we do?"
Who else could they rely on?
Themselves, the random Jujutsu Sorcerers, whose money they had taken, a group the "Windows" (civilians who can see curses but can't fight), the "Clean-Up Crews" who rebuild the cities, and independent mercenary sorcerers, who definitely wouldn't sacrifice their lives?
So, in the end, they looked at each other and made their decisions.
"Tell this arrogant young man to meet us!"
Yes, they still had to show their prestige and power to this young man, who thought he had control over this Jujutsu world!
