Since all the seats were single, there was no such thing as a deskmate.
Kei Yakuchi was merely seated next to Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo.
"Please take care of me."
He symbolically greeted Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo, who were sitting next to him.
Upon hearing this, Anjiu Heina merely nodded slightly, then coldly averted her gaze.
Anjiu Heina was still acceptable, but Anjiu Nairo didn't even make eye contact with Kei Yakuchi .
However, she wasn't deliberately ignoring him; Anjiu Nairo had glimpsed at him when she heard his voice, then quickly looked away, clearly more introverted and a bit shy.
Kuro and Nashiro Yasuhisa's hair color was just like their names; Kurona's hair and dress were black, while Nashiro's was pure white.
Moreover, they were twins, looking almost identical, both with delicate and cute features, and their different hair and dress colors made it easier to distinguish them.
Their figures and heights were also almost identical; their slender figures and 160cm height were already nearing perfection in a country like Japan, where people are generally shorter.
Regarding the attitudes of Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo, Kei Yakuchi didn't mind; these twin sisters were, in his impression, of a rather cold disposition.
"Today, we'll be discussing the 'Quinque,' as you'll soon begin trying them out. This is to give you a preliminary understanding of the relevant knowledge. First, please turn to page 128 of your textbooks..."
At this moment, the lecturer had already begun the class.
"The 'Quinque' is a product that emerged only a few decades ago, co-invented by the former Japan CCG Chief Director Washuu Yoshitoki and the then-Germany CCG Director Adam Gohan. The appearance of the 'Quinque' drastically narrowed the power gap between humans and Ghouls."
"Kagune is the primary material for making a 'Quinque.' Kagune is, of course, taken from a Ghoul, and there are also high requirements for how Kagune is obtained. It must be extracted promptly, along with the Kakuho, when the Ghoul has fully released its Kagune. Only then does it meet the standards for 'Quinque' production."
"Because a Quinque is a dead body rather than a living one like Kagune, its drawbacks are that it lacks the growth, extensibility, and flexibility of Kagune. However, its advantages are strong controllability and stability during use, and as technology improves, the Quinque's modifications will become increasingly perfect."
...
The theory class lasted 45 minutes. Hmm... a very scientific duration.
Most of the theoretical knowledge the lecturer taught was already known to Kei Yakuchi , but he still listened patiently and humbly.
Just as the lecturer said, after a short break, they were to begin their practical class.
Their practical class was led by a Combat Instructor, who was also a regular Investigator assigned by the CCG, usually a First Class Investigator.
Kei Yakuchi paid a little attention and found that their instructor was not Goumasa Tokage, but an unfamiliar Investigator.
Goumasa Tokage was the interrogator who had tortured "Gecko" Ōmori Yakumo, using extremely cruel interrogation methods that drove "Gecko" insane, and "Gecko" inherited Goumasa Tokage's brutal personality and cruel interrogation methods.
This included the habit of "finger-breaking" and the famous quote, "All the unfairness in this world is due to the inadequacy of the individuals involved," both of which Goumasa Tokage passed on to "Gecko," and later "Gecko" passed on to Jinmu Ken...
This guy, Goumasa Tokage, could almost be said to be the source of all evil.
"You haven't used a 'Quinque' before. For your first trial, I'll let you experience special firearms of the same type as a Quinque."
The Combat Instructor had already prepared all the firearms needed for this practical lesson, ensuring one for each person.
There were various types of firearms, including pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and so on.
"You can choose any gun that interests you. These firearms are actually still ordinary firearms, but the bullets are specially made from Kagune; otherwise, ordinary bullets have no lethal effect on Ghouls."
The Combat Instructor fiddled with the gun in his hand while introducing them to the students.
"These are mass-produced bullets specifically designed to deal with Ghouls, named 'Q Bullet.' There are four types of bullets, corresponding to the four types of Kagune found on Ghouls."
Saying this, the Combat Instructor took out some bullets from the gun's magazine, allowing the students to examine their appearance.
Although truly powerful Ghoul Investigators use more advanced "Quinques," the authorization for "Quinques" is very strictly limited. For example, Investigator Assistants and Third-Class Investigators are not qualified to own or use a Quinque.
They can only use these firearms equipped with special bullets.
Kei Yakuchi casually picked up a pistol, its appearance strikingly similar to the famous "Desert Eagle." If the system could also provide him with unlimited bullets, it would be perfect—a classic cheat ability in apocalyptic novels, almost a cliché of "Desert Eagle + unlimited bullets."
"You'll get a feel for them first, and then we'll begin target practice."
The Combat Instructor said, "This lesson doesn't require you to be perfectly accurate right away. At the very least, you should grasp the general pistol-holding posture."
Next, the Combat Instructor individually guided each student on their pistol-holding posture.
Then, the students tried shooting at the distant targets.
Of course, these were stationary targets, not moving ones; it certainly wouldn't be that difficult from the start.
Kei Yakuchi was also using a firearm for the first time. With the Combat Instructor's help, he managed to adjust to a relatively standard grip.
However, the subsequent aiming and shooting were his strong suits. Even without activating his Sharingan, his vision and perception were not comparable to ordinary people.
He aimed at the distant stationary target and roughly estimated the wind and gravity, although wind and gravity have very slight effects on a pistol.
Then, Kei Yakuchi decisively fired the first shot.
With a "bang" of the gunshot, he focused his eyes and found that he had hit approximately the ninth ring, close to the tenth ring.
Although not perfect, it was already excellent for a first attempt at target shooting.
The Combat Instructor had just finished guiding Kei Yakuchi 's pistol-holding posture. Seeing Kei Yakuchi fire, he glanced at the target.
Upon seeing Kei Yakuchi hit the ninth ring, the Combat Instructor's pupils immediately constricted, and his face showed surprise.
"Your talent is very strong! To perform like this on your first target practice is remarkable."
The Combat Instructor immediately praised Kei Yakuchi .
This student's pistol-holding posture was not very standard just now, indicating that he probably hadn't had much exposure to firearms. To have such a performance is already a sign of extraordinary talent.
