"Ahem... Miss Irimi, please don't joke around with me."
Kirishima Touka's face flushed slightly red. Clearly, Irimi Kaya had hit the mark.
"Oh, really."
Kirishima Touka said with a hint of resignation.
To be honest, she wasn't very clear herself on what kind of boy she liked...
Thinking of this, Kirishima Touka patted her cheeks.
This was no time to be thinking about this. She still had customers to serve!
...
The next day.
Amou Byakuya took the subway early in the morning to the "Ghoul Investigator Training Academy" in the 1st Ward.
As he walked through a small grove on the school grounds, he happened to see two figures.
One was Mutsuki Tooru, and the other was an instructor he didn't recognize.
Although Mutsuki Tooru deliberately cut her hair short and wore a chest binder, making her classmates think she was a boy, she was actually a girl.
Mutsuki Tooru was crouching there, seemingly fiddling with something in her hands.
As for the other figure next to her, it was Goumasa Togage.
He was a middle-aged man who was already balding, with a huge scar on the left side of his face running from his forehead to his chin. The injury had also caused some of his facial features to become distorted. This injury was courtesy of "Jason."
If nothing unexpected happened, this scene was probably Mutsuki Tooru being discovered by Goumasa Togage while she was torturing a kitten.
Amou Byakuya deliberately focused his gaze and saw clearly that Mutsuki Tooru had indeed just killed a small cat and was cutting off its tongue. This was because Mutsuki Tooru had a habit of collecting cat tongues.
"I say... what are you doing there?"
At this moment, Goumasa Togage asked Mutsuki Tooru.
"..."
Mutsuki Tooru didn't respond, instead concentrating on cutting the tongue from the small cat.
"You..."
Goumasa Togage then said something that shocked Amou Byakuya. "Your technique is still too clumsy. A blade like that can't cut it out perfectly."
As for the fact that Mutsuki Tooru had killed a kitten, Goumasa Togage acted as if he hadn't seen it at all.
"...!"
Even Mutsuki Tooru was surprised by Goumasa Togage's reaction.
Although she didn't care at all about being discovered by the combat instructor, the fact that she wasn't reprimanded left her a bit stunned.
[Option 1: Turn a blind eye to this and leave before being discovered by Mutsuki Tooru and Goumasa Togage. Reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
[Option 2: Go deeper into the small grove, making it clear to Mutsuki Tooru and Goumasa Togage that a third party has discovered this matter. Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
[Option 3: Go over directly and condemn Mutsuki Tooru's actions, and claim to report it to the principal. Reward: 20 Fusion Points!]
Looking at the suddenly appearing choices, Amou Byakuya chose the first option almost without hesitation.
Before being noticed by Mutsuki Tooru and Goumasa Togage, he quickly pretended not to have seen anything and turned to leave.
Both of these individuals were mentally unstable. Especially Goumasa Togage, who was simply a psychopath.
Therefore, Amou Byakuya would rather not get the 20 Fusion Points than get involved with these two. With his strength, he wasn't afraid of them, but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
[Ding! The host has completed Option 1, receiving a reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
However...
Amou Byakuya suddenly remembered that in the original story, Mutsuki Tooru and Goumasa Togage seemed to have a good relationship.
Because Goumasa Togage not only praised Mutsuki Tooru's actions but also gave her his own knife, and even covered for her, shifting the blame for the deaths of a large number of cats onto Suzuya Juuzou.
...
According to today's schedule.
There was a "Quinque" practical class in the morning and a light combat training class in the afternoon.
The combat instructor brought a large metal box to the training ground.
Amou Byakuya was a bit puzzled at first. Could such a box really hold so many Quinques?
When the combat instructor opened the box, he saw that it was filled with daggers.
At this moment, the combat instructor spoke up, "The name of each of these Quinques is 'Hiruko 1/76,' a B-rank Quinque. The meaning of this name is that there are a total of 76 identical daggers made from the same Kagune. In this class, you will start your training with dagger-shaped Quinques."
It was the same combat instructor from the last firearm training session. Therefore, he immediately handed one of the "Hiruko 1/76" to Amou Byakuya. "Amou, you try first."
He was now paying more attention to Amou Byakuya and wanted to see how talented he was with a "Quinque."
