12 Decision(2)

"I'm confused. Has he crossed the line already? What are you talking about? You're the one who said that even if someone accidentally saw his eyes, no one would suspect him of being a Six Eyes user because there were no two users of Six Eyes in the same era."

"Yes, I did say that. Even now, I think it's absurd to believe that our son is a second user of Six Eyes, in the same era as 'him.' That shouldn't be possible. But what I'm talking about are the possibilities..."

'So, when they say 'him,' they mean the first holder of Six Eyes?'

Kazuhiko knows that there's another person with the same eyes as him who's twelve years older, but he doesn't think much about it.

However, hearing his parents' conversation makes him realize that it's a serious matter.

'There have been no two Six Eyes users in the same era until now. Why is that?'

Kazuhiko wants to ask about it badly, but he holds himself back when he sees his father trying to calm his mother.

Over the past year, Kazuhiko has come to understand everything about the abilities of Six Eyes.

He knows how incredibly powerful these eyes are and even suspects that they may not belong to this world.

They might have come from the same cultivation world or a similar one.

The ability to control cursed energy, super-fast calculation, and seeing through any cursed techniques are only the tip of the iceberg.

The true power of these eyes lies in something else that even he doesn't know about.

"First, let's try to teach him about basic barrier techniques and talisman..."

"...But... he is still a child though..."

After a deep sigh, his mother finally relented and nodded in agreement to teach him.

"Listen carefully, I will only say it once... I will impart all my knowledge to Kazuhiko. However, if you cannot keep up with my teachings and fail to master them, our agreement will be null and void. This means that Kazuhiko lacks the talent for barrier techniques, understood?"

"Understood..." Kazuhiko immediately accepted without a moment's hesitation, his confidence preventing any thoughts of failure from entering his mind.

He was determined to prove himself and show his mother that he had what it takes to excel in barrier techniques.

"Furthermore, until you have completely mastered everything I teach you, I forbid you from going outside without us," his mother continued, her voice firm and unwavering.

"Huh?~" Kazuhiko's eyes widened in surprise.

The thought of being confined indoors without being able to train his divine dogs was disheartening. But he also understood the importance of his mother's condition.

"If you cannot promise that, I will not teach you," his mother reiterated, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Realizing that his pleas were no longer effective, Kazuhiko reluctantly agreed to his mother's condition. "Alright, I will not go out without either of you until I have mastered everything you teach me... But I will feel lonely though..."

He tried to make his face look adorable in hopes of softening his mother's stance, but she avoided his pleading puppy eyes.

'Not this time!'

Kazuhiko usually relied on his cuteness to escape trouble with his parents, but his mother wasn't budging this time.

"If he's feeling lonely, maybe we should consider getting him younger siblings to play with," his father suggested, only to receive an elbow jab from Haruko.

"What are you suddenly talking about? Just be quiet!"

His mother's cheeks turned bright red as she blushed.

Seeing that, Kazuhiko teamed up with his father to tease his mother, he added, "I want a younger sibling too..."

"Nice assist, Kazuhiko..."

"You two, seriously..."

And so, their agreement was sealed and his mother began teaching him all about barrier techniques and talisman creation.

Following that day, Kazuhiko dedicated his afternoons to practicing calligraphy, taking the first step towards creating talismans.

Interestingly, he didn't require a brush to bring his creations to talisman; all he needed was to dip his finger in ink before commencing his calligraphy practice.

With each passing day, Kazuhiko's calligraphy skills improved, and his strokes became more precise and elegant.

He found solace in the rhythmic movements of his finger gliding across the paper, the ink flowing effortlessly from his touch.

As he delved deeper into the world of calligraphy, Kazuhiko discovered that his finger had become a conduit for his cursed energy.

With a dip of his finger, he could feel the surge of power coursing through him.

Additionally, he was taught the specific hand signs and techniques to harness cursed energy while constructing a protective barrier.

The initial skill he successfully acquired was the ability to create a simple Curtain, a barrier encompassing a small dome-shaped outer shell that conceals anything within it from prying eyes.

Within this barrier, the sky transforms into a nocturnal scene, enticing cursed spirits to reveal themselves.

Curtains, primarily employed by jujutsu sorcerers, serve the purpose of maintaining secrecy during curse exorcisms.

Similar to a simple barrier, a curtain is formed using the same fundamental process.

To activate the barrier technique, one must recite the incantation: "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure."

Simultaneously, he dedicated his time to deciphering the impact of each word in the incantation.

By adjusting the quantity of cursed energy, he could expedite the process of constructing barriers.

There existed a predetermined amount of cursed energy required for casting.

If one did not exert conscious effort during the incantation, it would consume a greater amount of cursed energy than usual.

However, even with this increase, it was still negligible, and even individuals with a weaker cursed reserve could manage it.

He desired to comprehend the significance of each word in the incantation, so he sought guidance from his mother.

However, her response was simply, "Yes, that's how it works."

The intricacies had not yet been explained to him.

Although he did not fully grasp the underlying mechanisms, practice allowed him to become proficient in the techniques.
