Since the seats were all single, there was no concept of a deskmate.
Amou Byakuya was just sitting next to Kurona and Nashiro Yasuhisa.
"Nice to meet you."
He symbolically greeted his neighbors, Kurona and Nashiro.
Kurona, the one with black hair, gave him a cold glance and then ignored him. Nashiro, the one with white hair, didn't respond either.
However, it wasn't that they were intentionally ignoring him. When Nashiro heard his voice, she glanced at him for a moment before looking away, clearly introverted and a bit shy around strangers.
They were twins, looking almost identical with their delicate and cute features. Their different hair and dress colors made it easier to tell them apart.
Their figures and heights were also nearly identical. A slender build and a height of 160cm was already considered near-perfect in a country like Japan where people are generally shorter.
Amou Byakuya didn't mind Kurona and Nashiro's attitude. In his memory, the twin sisters had always been the cold and distant type.
The lecturer for the theory class had already begun the lesson. "Today, we'll be learning about the 'Quinque.'"
"The Kagune is the main material for making a 'Quinque.' The Kagune is, of course, taken from a Ghoul's body. The method of obtaining the Kagune also has high requirements. It must be extracted in a timely manner, along with the Kakuhou, when the Ghoul has fully released its Kagune. Only then does it meet the standard for 'Quinque' production."
"Because a Quinque is a dead object, unlike the living Kagune, its disadvantage is that it lacks the growth, extensibility, and flexibility of a Kagune. However, its advantage is its high controllability and stability during use. And as technology improves, the modification of Quinques will become more and more perfect."
...
The theory class lasted for 45 minutes... a very scientific amount of time.
The theoretical knowledge the lecturer taught was basically all things Amou Byakuya already knew, but he still listened patiently and humbly.
After the theory class was a short ten-minute break.
Just as the lecturer said, after a short rest, they would begin the practical class.
Amou Byakuya paid a little attention and noticed that their instructor was not Goumasa Togage, but an unfamiliar investigator.
Goumasa Togage was the interrogator who had tortured "Jason" Yakumo Oomori. He used extremely cruel torture methods that caused "Jason" to become mentally unstable, and "Jason" inherited Goumasa Togage's tyrannical personality and brutal torture techniques.
Including the habit of "cracking his fingers" and the famous quote, "All the disadvantages in this world are due to the incompetence of the person involved," which were passed down from Goumasa Togage to "Jason," and later from "Jason" to Kaneki Ken...
"None of you have used a 'Quinque' before. For your first trial, we'll let you experience a special type of firearm that is similar to a Quinque."
The combat instructor had already prepared the guns needed for this practical class, ensuring there was one for everyone.
There were all types of firearms: pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and so on.
"You can choose any gun you're interested in. These are actually still ordinary firearms; it's just that the bullets are specially made from Kagune. Otherwise, ordinary bullets have no lethal effect on Ghouls."
The combat instructor explained as he fiddled with the gun in his hands.
Amou Byakuya casually picked up a pistol that looked very similar to the famous "Desert Eagle." It would be perfect if the system could give him infinite ammo, a classic cheat ability in apocalypse novels—almost always the "Desert Eagle + Infinite Ammo" combo.
"First, get a feel for it, and then we'll start target practice."
The combat instructor said, "This class doesn't require you to be a perfect shot right away. At the very least, you need to get a general grasp of the proper shooting stance."
The targets were about 50 meters away.
Of course, they were only stationary targets, not moving ones. It definitely wouldn't be that difficult from the start.
This was also Amou Byakuya's first time using a firearm. He only managed to adjust to a relatively standard grip with the help of the combat instructor.
He aimed at the stationary target in the distance and roughly estimated the wind and gravity, although the effects of these on a pistol are very slight.
Then, Amou Byakuya decisively fired the first shot.
*Bang—!*
The result was the 9th ring.
Although not perfect, it was an excellent result for a first attempt at target practice.
The combat instructor had just finished instructing Amou Byakuya on his grip. Seeing him fire, he glanced at the target.
When he saw that Amou Byakuya had hit the 9th ring, the combat instructor's pupils shrank, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You have a strong talent. To be able to perform like this on your first try at target practice is incredible."
