Led by Kureo Mado, the three of them quickly arrived at a small tavern, but when they walked in, Koutarou Amon was stunned.
"Amon-senpai, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
There was indeed nothing wrong, Koutarou Amon was just a little surprised to see that almost everyone in the small tavern was a CCG colleague, but on second thought, there was nothing to be surprised about. Although investigators were very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, in reality, investigators were also human, they also had pressure, and drinking was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Give me a plum wine and a portion of grilled chicken and octopus legs. Amon, Lancer, you two can order whatever you want, it's my treat today."
Although Kureo Mado was a bit of a loner due to his strange personality, it must be said that in a non-working state, besides his strange expression, he was no different from an ordinary person. At least in Koutarou Amon eyes, he was a trustworthy and learned superior.
"I'll have the same as Mr. Mado."
"Then I'll have the same as well."
"You two... fine, what I ordered is the best in the store anyway."
Kureo Mado was clearly a bit helpless about the two of them wanting the same thing as him, but he didn't say much, after all, there was no point in saying too much about certain things. Then he began to chat with Lancer about what had been happening in the 'training camp' recently.
Lancer naturally answered every question. Although he didn't know why he had obtained an identity in this world, there was no doubt that his ability to come to this training camp without an exam and learn three skills was thanks to the other person's help, so he was very grateful to him. However, after glancing at Koutarou Amon, who was silent on the side, Lancer always felt that the other person's purpose for finding him was not as simple as just having a meal, but Kureo Mado never brought it up, and Koutarou Amon remained silent, so he had no choice but to wait.
"Three, here are your orders."
When the three porcelain bottles and six plates were placed on the table, Lancer keenly noticed that the atmosphere had become a little serious, and Koutarou Amon sat upright and had no intention of touching the food on the table.
And at this moment, Kureo Mado finally stated his purpose.
"Lancer, your performance in the training camp is excellent. Although you haven't gone through a special assessment, in terms of combat ability, you should be far superior to most graduates. I happen to have an opening, so I hope you can join my team as a 'trainee investigator'."
Lancer was a bit surprised by the other person's words, but it could also be said to be expected, right? After all, his strength was there. The only thing that surprised him was that the other person invited him so early. He originally thought he would have to wait until he officially graduated from the training camp.
But despite the surprise, he nodded without any hesitation.
"Yes!"
Indeed, Lancer already knew that the world he was in was "Tokyo Ghoul". Logically, he should have some resistance to the profession of 'investigator', after all, the male and female protagonists were ghouls, but in reality, this so-called 'goodwill' was very weak, nothing more than a fondness for the protagonists. But when a person really comes to this world and is attacked by a ghoul, will this so-called goodwill still exist?
Every time he thought about this question, the wound on his right shoulder would have a strange burning sensation.
He knew this was his psychological effect. The so-called wound had already healed more than a month ago, and besides a faint scar, no one would think that a piece of flesh had been torn from his right shoulder by a ghoul.
The 'goodwill' that existed for the protagonists had long since vanished because of that sudden attack. He only knew that his identity was human, and most ghouls in this world were 'monsters' that attacked and fed on humans! Even the so-called protagonist had gone through a fierce psychological struggle, and if no one had stopped him, he might have even shared his best friend.
When Lancer without hesitation answering also made Kureo Mado very satisfied. He took a small sip of wine and motioned for the two of them to start eating.
It could be said that because of Lancer answer, the topic was taken over by Koutarou Amon.
Although he hadn't been a graduate for long and had just been assigned to Kureo Mado, compared to a self-taught person like Lancer from the training camp, the other person was a top investigator who graduated first from the CCG academy. So after Kureo Mado approval, he began to introduce the details of being an 'investigator' to Lancer. However, while talking, Kureo Mado suddenly interrupted Koutarou Amon.
"By the way, Lancer, although you are only a 'trainee investigator', since you are working under me, you also need a 'Quinque'. I think you will use a 'spear-type' weapon. Do you have any other requests?"
"If possible, I hope it's not too heavy and has a certain degree of toughness..."
"Hmm, that's simple, after all, quinques are made from ghouls' kagune. Any other requests?"
"Hmm... to be honest, I don't really understand, so why don't you decide, Mr. Mado?"
Hearing Lancer words, Kureo Mado also nodded.
Logically, Lancer should not be issued a 'quinque' since he had not gone through a special test, but with his guarantee and the fact that the 'quinque' Lancer would use was manufactured and provided by him, the higher-ups would not object too much.
And Lancer attitude made him very satisfied.
Many newbies always hope to have a 'strongest quinque', but why don't they carefully consider if they have the ability to control it if there really is a strongest quinque? So he liked 'pragmatists' like Lancer the most.
The matter was actually very simple, Kureo Mado came to recruit Lancer. So after dinner, he very simply returned to the training camp. However, on the way back, he couldn't help but clench his fist.
He had been in this world for more than two months. Besides being attacked on the first day, he had been training himself, and now it was finally time for actual combat, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.
However, after returning to his dorm, he couldn't sleep because of excitement. He took out his phone and simply started to check his changes. This could be said to be his favorite thing to do besides training recently, after all, those digitized numbers were evidence of his hard work!
It should be known that the reason many people give up is that they feel their efforts are not being rewarded and the future seems distant, so they choose to give up in the end. But he could see his own progress, and every time he checked it, it would fill him with motivation!

The increase in combat power was very simple, training plus skill enhancement. As for his three normal skills — Charged Strike, Triple Stab, Rush — they were taught to him by the spear-wielding instructor at the training camp.
Triple Stab is three consecutive stabs in a short amount of time using a special technique, while Rush is an attack using the impact of the whole body. The only special or rather more troublesome one is 'Charged Strike'. This move can be said to be Lancer strongest attack method besides 'Secret Techniques'.
The ability of Charged Strike is as its name suggests, it explodes with power far beyond normal by controlling the muscles, and can increase power by up to about five times, but generally, in actual combat, there is no time to charge for that long, and with the enemy not moving, it's usually only about two times.
As for 'Secret Technique: Desperate Strike', it was the attack he used with the rusted iron rod when he was caught by the ghoul before. This move can be said to be a last resort. His power and speed will be greatly increased during the attack, but the cost is that he will fall into a weakened state afterward. It can be said that he will absolutely not use this move unless he has no other choice.
Looking at his increased strength, he fell asleep quietly with the anticipation of becoming a 'trainee investigator' tomorrow...
