Chapter 30

Elsewhere in the domain…

Suguru was getting the hang of it. In fact, training has been upped recently as he found his reverse technique getting better by the day. Chusi was relentless still, but he found he was able to keep up with her better. And the more the fought, the more he began to feel his energy alter once more.

They took a break for a moment, he sighed aloud to it all and fell back and laid on the ground. "This feels weird…" he said aloud.

"What? The fact your technique is changing? Or the fact you are tapping into what Kenjaku possessed?"

He froze.

Suguru's eyes widened as he sat up and stared at Chusi.

"What on earth are you talking about!"

Once more, her look became devious. "The soul, you keep forgetting that's my main technique and it has MANY things to do with the soul since it in itself is very versatile but not many are aware of it. For example, this Kenjaku asshole, he swapped bodies and yet just from what I am reading on yours, he carries techniques across from one corpse to another. Meaning he can hang on to these abilities, however restricts himself to using only what the shell has provided him."

"What does this have to do with ME getting those abilities?"

"Because, he used your body once."

It made no sense to him.

"Explain it to me like I'm Gojo."

She snickered, that is one of the few ways he can get her to talk, a slight knock on Satoru and she will sing like a canary.

Chusi repositioned herself and smiled. "Kenjaku's curse energy has flowed through you. In order to fuel the techniques he possessed, it accidently engrained into you slightly. Granted, this won't be the same as him possessing the technique, however within your soul you have the chance of using these abilities, however it will be more in tune with your technique. Kenjaku also had reverse technique; it's also the easiest one for me to teach. So that's a given, and just recently, I found you are getting rather… heavy in the hitting department. As if you are forcing more than your weight down on me. My body is also feeling that pressure, as if the gravity has been increased… so, have you been thinking of a way to slow me down?"

He has, he even nodded to that fact.

Chusi smirked. "So it's falling into place then, but at the same time, I doubt you are able to maintain the techniques." She stood up once more. "If anything, Suguru, you will have three uses for these techniques before they are taken away. Again, the body cannot maintain more than two for most cases. So, for the time being, let's make sure you are aware of them. Then, keep them as a trump card if needed."

He understood completely.

What he got from Kenjaku was by a freak accident, however these methods will not remain if he uses them. The notion to keep them a secret as well as a hidden card was good in his mind.

"So what's next then?"

Chusi paused. "The thing with this is that we cannot have you burn an ability for the sake of a test drive, so if anything, try to feel it within yourself and then, call upon it when needed. Perhaps Ryomen will have some advice to offer you when it's his turn."

He dreads the day when that happens!

Meanwhile.

"No, like this"

Shin sighed aloud as he was training with his father, he was trying to teach him reverse red but couldn't quite grasp it. His father was doing his best to explain it, but the fact is this. Despite how similar it is to the family technique, it wasn't the same in Shin's mind.

"Dad… we went through this before, it's not how it works with me!" he protested.

His father paused as he peered over to him, his smile was big and wide, but, slowly diminished the moment he saw his face. His father sighed aloud and took a seat on the ground. "I should have known better…" he muttered.

"Thanks though… for trying to teach me. I have been getting a better understanding of it thanks to auntie. At the same time Oji taught me a bit too…"

His father, paused oddly. "Oji?" he asked and smirked. "Do you mean… Uba?"

Shin rolled his eyes. "Yes, or Sukuna as he is more well known. However, auntie is insisting we call him Oji. We have been, he's not happy about it."

"Then keep calling him that!"

Shin rolled his eyes once more to his father's antics. He knows Sukuna has done terrible, horrible things and yet. Why would someone like Sukuna have wasted his time trying to understand this version of limitless? Let alone help him understand it better.

His aunt has since taken over, and she has fantastic insight. She never pushes her ideas on him and allows Shin to feel out his technique. His father on the other hand… is determined to teach his method in hopes it may catch on.

But it doesn't work that way.

"Dad… how come you haven't asked me how I want to learn my technique?"

Suddenly, his father froze. He turned to him oddly and took off his blindfold. Staring into his eyes, Shin sighed aloud. "Is that what this is about?" he asked of him.

"What is what about?"

"Why you don't want to learn my method?"

"Your method doesn't work for me!" Shin protested. "Dad… my technique is different than yours, it's not the same so the same method won't work! Auntie even told me that, and it's more important for a sorcerer to know how to use their own power is it not?"

His father was stunned, rendered still and silent from the outburst, but, did his father truly understand what he is trying to say?

He suddenly peered away. "Perhaps that's why…" he whispered.

"Dad…"

He forced a laugh. "You know your aunt hates me right?"

"Goes without saying, I think she dislikes you more than Oji does."

"At this point, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised! Sukuna has an odd respect for me due to my power, nothing more… and if that. Your aunt down right hates me enough to have your mother seek a second husband!"

'Sometimes auntie has a point' Shin thought. He has seen his father leave mom to deal with everything. Mainly because he believe she can handle it and doesn't need his help. But offering it would at least be appreciated.

In fact, he's seen Suguru offer to help his mother more often than not. Mom of course refuses gently but thanks him for the offer.

Then Oji will come and help mom.

Perhaps the reason is mom is trying not to cause drama. At the same time, dad should be doing more to help out.

"Dad… I've tried your method, time and time again. I even had Oji and Auntie help me, but they saw that how you use limitless and six eyes is different from how I use it. Since then, auntie has been helping me develop my ability. Oji helped from before he lost his curse energy, but gave me excellent pointers and perspectives I didn't consider."

"That's Sukuna for you."

"Dad… I want you to help me, but you need to understand this from MY perspective."

His father was quite, however he nodded in agreement to this. "You're right. I'm sorry for trying to force this upon you. Let's call it a day and start fresh tomorrow okay?"

He nodded in agreement.

Here's hoping he will listen.
