Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1248 - 910: Incorrect Fighting Style

"Don’t look at me; you can’t help me."

When Reiger turned his gaze to Zenin Maki and Fushiguro Megumi, before the latter could speak, the former had already unhesitatingly spoken, rejecting Reiger’s subsequent suggestion.

Since they collectively lost to Reiger, Zenin Maki had been sitting there, saying nothing. Although she didn’t show obvious displeasure like Kugisaki Nobara, it was clear to any observant person that she wasn’t in a good mood.

"Are you sure, senpai?"

Reiger raised an eyebrow, speaking unhurriedly.

"What else?" Zenin Maki let out a cold snort, saying, "As you can see, not only did I not inherit the natural techniques of the Zenin Family, I don’t even have any general techniques. My curse power is about the same as an ordinary person’s. Without these glasses on my face, I can’t even see Curse Spirits."

"The reason I can eliminate Curse Spirits and become a Curse Mage is by relying on the power of cursed tools."

"Otherwise, with my inability to use curse power, there’s nothing I can do against Curse Spirits that are immune to physical attacks."

The cursed tools themselves carry curse power and hold curses, so naturally, they can affect Curse Spirits.

Itadori Yuji initially couldn’t refine curse power and relied solely on his physical skills. He managed to kill a Curse Spirit in the juvenile detention center’s incomplete domain also by using a short dagger-style cursed tool.

Zenin Maki, as the strongest student in the technical use of cursed tools at the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College, can eliminate Curse Spirits with various cursed tools, even without the ability to use curse power herself.

But this also means that apart from using cursed tools, she is almost ignorant in other areas or has no capability to be proficient in them.

Such as Zenin Maki, who can’t train curse techniques or curse power, can only continuously hone her combat skills and physical capabilities.

That’s why she said Reiger couldn’t help her.

Because, unlike Panda and Inumaki Toge, she can’t improve in curse techniques or curse power at all. It’s better to follow Kugisaki Nobara’s example and collect some powerful cursed tools, which can effectively enhance her strength.

However, Zenin Maki already understands this very well and doesn’t need others to remind her.

Reiger also knows that Zenin Maki isn’t unable to get past herself, unwilling to be guided by him; instead, she truly feels he can’t guide her.

Indeed, Zenin Maki has no need for guidance in curse techniques and curse power.

Her curse power is so weak that it’s almost like an ordinary person’s, unable to refine it, and only naturally leaking with negative emotions, not achieving any effect.

With such weak curse power, not to mention the lack of natural techniques, even if she had natural techniques, she probably couldn’t use them.

Even common curse techniques like barrier techniques and shikigami techniques are beyond Zenin Maki’s reach.

Unlike naturally inscribed techniques in the body, general curse techniques like barrier techniques are generally constructed from zero using curse power in the body and then successfully performed using incantations or words as a medium.

These kinds of curse techniques can be used universally among Curse Mages, though they are a bit lengthy and complex in usage. They may not possess the uniqueness of naturally inscribed techniques but are nonetheless an effective means. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Gojo Satoru once said that over 80% of Curse Mages in the world of sorcery rely on natural techniques, and the remaining ones without them mostly use common curse techniques, proving that one can become a famous Curse Mage without natural techniques.

But Zenin Maki can’t even learn such curse techniques.

After all, even common curse techniques require curse power to activate. Without sufficient curse power, no matter what, curse techniques can’t be used.

Because of this, Zenin Maki was ostracized by the Zenin Family and ultimately chose to leave and come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College to prove herself.

However, this isn’t the reason Reiger couldn’t guide her.

"So what if you don’t have curse power?" Reiger said casually, "Before I enrolled, I didn’t have curse power or know how to use curse techniques, yet I still successfully eliminated a special-grade Curse Spirit."

With these words, not only Zenin Maki but also Panda and Inumaki Toge lifted their heads sharply, looking at Reiger in surprise.

"You didn’t have curse power before enrolling? Yet you successfully eliminated a special-grade Curse Spirit?"

Zenin Maki was also taken aback.

The juvenile detention center incident was ultimately classified as top secret due to Reiger’s appearance and the problem with the "finger."

Therefore, only a part of the higher-ups in the world of sorcery knew about Reiger’s situation and deeds at that time.

His status as a special-grade curse involvement spread within a certain range, but few knew the details of the juvenile detention center incident.

Under such circumstances, it’s only natural that Zenin Maki and others were unaware that Reiger didn’t have curse power before.

"It’s true, Zenin-senpai." Fushiguro Megumi interjected, "Not only did he eliminate a special-grade Curse Spirit without curse power, but he also did it with just one strike."

"That’s right, Maki-senpai." Kugisaki Nobara seemed somewhat affectionate towards Zenin Maki, saying, "Although it sounds like a joke, this guy is really strong, like a monster even without curse power."

Hearing this, Zenin Maki’s gaze towards Reiger changed.
