"Cough cough… Miss Irimi, don't make fun of me."
Touka Kirishima's face flushed slightly, clearly hit by Kaya Irimi's words.
"Xiao Dongxiang is so easy to read."
Kaya Irimi chuckled softly.
"Seriously."
Touka Kirishima said, somewhat helplessly.
If Miss Irimi hadn't suddenly brought up this topic, she wouldn't have thought about "love" at all.
To be honest, she wasn't quite sure what kind of boy she would like…
Thinking of this, Touka Kirishima patted her cheek.
Now wasn't the time to think about this; she still had guests to entertain!
...
The next day.
Kei Yakuchi took the subway early to the Ghoul Investigator Training School in the 1st Ward.
Actually, there was no class for the first period this morning, but coming early wouldn't hurt.
It was still early, so Kei Yakuchi wandered around the School.
When he entered a small grove, he coincidentally saw something that caught his attention.
He could vaguely see two figures not far away; among them, the short-haired girl with clear features and wheat-colored skin, he recognized as Toru Mutsuki.
Although Toru Mutsuki deliberately cut her hair short and wore a binder, making her classmates think she was a boy, she was actually a girl.
Toru Mutsuki was squatting there, seemingly fiddling with something in her hand.
As for the other figure next to her, it was Goumasa Tokage.
A Middle-aged man who was almost bald, with a huge scar on the left half of his face from forehead to chin; due to the injury, his facial features were somewhat disfigured. This injury was courtesy of Gecko.
But if Goumasa Tokage hadn't cruelly tortured Gecko every day back then, Gecko wouldn't have disfigured him.
If nothing unexpected happened, this scene should be Toru Mutsuki's act of torturing and killing a kitten being discovered by Goumasa Tokage.
Kei Yakuchi deliberately fixed his gaze and clearly saw that Toru Mutsuki had indeed just killed a kitten and cut off its tongue, because Toru Mutsuki had a Hobbies for collecting cat tongues.
"I say… what are you doing there?"
At this moment, Goumasa Tokage asked Toru Mutsuki.
"..."
Toru Mutsuki did not respond, but concentrated on cutting off the kitten's tongue.
"You…"
Goumasa Tokage walked closer and saw clearly what Toru Mutsuki was doing; his expression suddenly changed.
Logically speaking, Goumasa Tokage, as a Combat Instructor, should have reprimanded Toru Mutsuki for doing such a thing.
However, the next moment, Goumasa Tokage not only did not scold Toru Mutsuki, but instead started instructing her, "You… you should take good care of your knife, otherwise it's easily corroded by grease. Speaking of which, cat tongues are quite oily."
Regarding Toru Mutsuki's act of killing the kitten, Goumasa Tokage seemed to have directly pretended not to see it.
"...!"
Even Toru Mutsuki was surprised by Goumasa Tokage's reaction.
Although she didn't care at all about being discovered by the Combat Instructor, not being reprimanded left her a bit bewildered.
[Ding! Host has activated a task, initiating God-tier Choice!]
[Choice One: Ignore this, and leave before being discovered by Toru Mutsuki and Goumasa Tokage. Reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
[Choice Two: Go deeper into the small grove, making Toru Mutsuki and Goumasa Tokage clearly aware that a third party has discovered this. Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
[Choice Three: Directly go over and criticize Toru Mutsuki's behavior, and claim to report it to the principal. Reward: 20 Fusion Points!]
Looking at the sudden choices, Kei Yakuchi barely hesitated, decisively choosing the first option.
Before being discovered by Toru Mutsuki and Goumasa Tokage, he quickly pretended not to see anything and turned to leave.
Don't look at the third choice offering a lot of Fusion Points; one must also consider the subsequent consequences.
Neither Toru Mutsuki nor Goumasa Tokage were normal people.
There was no need to mention Goumasa Tokage; Ōmori Yakumo, Gecko, was "blackened" by his torture.
As for Toru Mutsuki, her performance in the original work was terrifying.
Although Toru Mutsuki became so abnormal due to the abuse and torment she suffered from her parents in childhood, Kei Yakuchi still chose to steer clear.
Her Hobbies for collecting cat tongues was minor; later, her love for Kaneki Ken—or more accurately, Sasaki Haise—reached a frenzied state, and she did many things only true yanderes would do.
Therefore, Kei Yakuchi would rather not have those 20 Fusion Points than get involved with these two people. With his strength, he certainly wasn't afraid of these two, but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
[Ding! Host has completed Choice One, receiving reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
However…
According to this trend, Suzuya Juuzou would probably be slandered next.
Because Goumasa Tokage not only praised Toru Mutsuki's behavior but also gave his knife to Toru Mutsuki, and even covered for Toru Mutsuki, shifting the blame for the large number of cat killings onto Suzuya Juuzou.
Suzuya Juuzou himself was very unsociable, basically always acting alone, and usually engaged in self-harm, which led everyone to have no doubt that Suzuya Juuzou would have such violent tendencies.
...
According to today's schedule.
There was a Quinque practical class in the morning and a light combat training class in the afternoon.
Quinque was Kei Yakuchi 's main purpose for coming here.
At the practical class venue, the Quinque needed for this class had already been prepared.
All those Quinque were stored in a box.
Kei Yakuchi was initially a bit confused as to whether such a box could really hold so many Quinque?
The next moment, he discovered that all the Quinque were dagger-shaped, and each dagger looked exactly the same.
At this time, the Combat Instructor spoke, "Each of these Quinque is named 'Hiruko 1/76', belonging to B-rank Quinque. The meaning of this naming is that there are 76 identical daggers made from the same Kagune. You will start training with dagger-shaped Quinque in this class."
Because daggers are smaller and simpler to make, they can be easily mass-produced.
If it were large Quinque like scythes, spears, or even those that can freely switch between sword and shield forms, then it would be difficult to mass-produce them; most are made with one Kagune forming one Quinque.
It was still the same Combat Instructor from the last firearms training, so he immediately handed one of the "Hiruko 1/76" to Kei Yakuchi , "Kei, you try it first."
He was more focused on Kei Yakuchi now, and wanted to see Kei Yakuchi 's talent in Quinque.
