In the middle of the night, in abandoned building loed a nest of ghouls feasting on their preys for the night.

" Hungry idiots..." I smiled as I walked up to the entrance of the building.

Ghouls, despite being on top of the food chain, they hide like rats, like animals.

" If you guys gonna like animals, I guess I'll have to put you down like animals... hehe, " I chuckled to myself, which alerted the ghouls in the building.

" Ghoul Exterminator!!" I announced myself.

Raaahh!! The ghouls shouted as they rushed at me all at once.

" At your service!!" I pressed the bottom on the suitcase I was carrying and activated my QuinQue.

A Kagune that surrounded my arms and hands as gauntlets. These gauntlets are able to protect my hands and fist from any form of Kagune.

A male ghoul with his arm merged with a Kagune tried to attack first but failed as I easily caught the Ghouls Kagune before smashing my fist through his head, creating a hole.

This action struck dear into the rest of the ghouls as they slowly backed off but couldn't as my Senior Investigator blocked them from behind with her Quinque.

She had already taken two ghouls from behind with a sneak attack, and as the ghouls' attention was on her, I used this chance to kill the ghouls.

Grabbing ghouls from behind, I thrust my hand through her neck before tearing her head off and throwing it at the other ghoul, which caused him to stagger.

I used this chance to rush at him and tear his throat out before his Kagune could reach me.

" Kurosabe..." My instructor looked down at the remaining Ghoul on the floor passing his pants.

" P-Pl-Please.... no...ack!!" The ghoul tried to before for his life, but my instructor stabbed her dagger into the ghouls throat.

" You're getting sloppy, teacher." I looked at her as she saw that I stopped the ghouls Kagune from attacking her.

" Let's go." She replied after shaking her head, and I followed her out of the building and to the car.

" Drive." She ordered.

I turned the car on and drove away from the building.

" Tonight... you're becoming a First Class Investigator. You grown fast." My teacher praised me as she took off her mask and hood as she leaned against the seat.

" Yes... and tonight... you're retiring." I replied, which caused Her to sigh.

" I'm already old, Yami. Let's rest here." She pointed at a bar.

" You know I can't drink?"

" I know... but I can. Stop here."

I sighed and parked at the bar and followed her inside. She sat at the bar and I sat next to her as she ordered a drink and I ordered a glass of water.

" Since I'm retiring and won't see you again, kiddo, here. This is my husband's. It's a defensive QuinQue." My teacher folded her cloak and placed her mask on top along with her weapon quinque as well.

I stared at them before looking at her in sadness.

" Yes, ma'am."

She began drinking as she stared into space.

" My husband was a ghoul. I hunted him myself and turned him into that cloak... When I joined, I hoped one day I would just die in the field..."

I listened to her as a tear fell from her eye.

" I got nothing now... I don't know what to do." I looked at her empty eyes.

" Maybe you should become an instructor for the Academy, maybe try to stop young inspiring ghoul investigators from joining. Make the training so tough that no one would be able to pass." I answered.

" He...hehehe.... no, that's a bad idea." She smiled and shook her head.

" I'm serious, teacher. With your experience... I know for sure you can build the next generation of ghoul investigators into new heights." I smiled as she looked at me for a few seconds.

" I'll see." She replied.

" So... How's college? For a boy to skip a few years of school, I'm sure you have met older girls. Does anyone catch your eye?" She smiled as I shook my head.

" If you want to be a godmother of my children, then you should just say it." I replied.

This old woman is my mothers godmother, and despite my mother's protest in me joining the CCG, my godmother was the one who trained me for it.

An hour later...

" Yami, your orders are to tale down the " Binge-Eater. " My orders was a death wish, but it seems I have no choice as I exited the building and looked at the moon.

" So much for a promotion." I said to myself as I walked to my home, but along the way, I got a message from my phone.

Meet at the cafe tomorrow.

Hide, I narrowed my eyes before closing them.

' He never asked to meet at the cafe before. Don't tell me the story will start tomorrow?' I sighed and arrived home.

" I'm back." I announced myself as I smelled food.

" Welcome back, son. Food is almost ready." My mother replied.

" Where'd dad?" I asked as I hanged up my coat and briefcase.

" He's sleeping. The moment he came back, he just flopped onto the floor and took a nap. Sigh, I think he should get a different job." She complained as I chuckled and walked uo the stairs.

After cleaning myself of the scent of ghouls and blood as well as covering my tracks around the house, I sat in my room looking at my teachers cloak, QuinQue, and mask.

The Ghost. The title that is now passed to me from my teacher. I already learned everything from her, and I know how to use stealth tactics.

I looked at the white bracelets that will transform into daggers.

I closed my eyes and exhaled after gaining the resolve to wield these blades.

" Yami!! Dinner is ready!!" My mother shouted from below, and I walked into the kitchen to see my sister and mother waiting at the table.

" Thank you, Mom." I smiled as I sat down.

My mother smiled, and we all prayed before eating without my father, who is still sleeping.
