Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

If it weren't for Uchiha Ni-kun, I would definitely have died a terrible death in the end...

Having witnessed firsthand the formidable strength of the "One-Eyed Owl" transformed by the Hellfire, she could already imagine what would happen if she faced the "One-Eyed Owl" alone.

The best-case scenario is that the body is left intact; the worst-case scenario is that even the body is gone...

"I have wireless equipment here, let me inform them of the situation first."

Mado immediately used her equipment to contact the search team.

............

the other side.

As early as when they had just left District 24, the search team noticed that the number of people in the team seemed to be incorrect.

Besides Mado Jun, who was in charge of bringing up the rear, there should be another person who...

Are there still people who didn't evacuate in time?

This is a huge mistake for Marude Sai!

The key point is that this would betray the efforts, even the sacrifices, made by Jun-Senior Mado...

"Quickly check who hasn't evacuated yet?"

After a quick check, it was confirmed that it was Second Class Investigator Uchiha Byakuya.

Marutei immediately felt extremely anxious.

At the time, because he was busy stopping Mado Kureo, he overlooked the fact that Uchiha Ni-chan had not yet caught up with the group.

But normally, you shouldn't be falling behind the group, right?!

He had no idea what was going on.

At that moment, Marude glanced at Mado Kureo, who was sitting to the side, head in his hands, looking utterly dejected, and sighed deeply. "We can only wait for the rescue team to arrive before going in..."

They must not venture deeper into Ward 24 again until rescuers arrive, otherwise the sacrifice of Special Agent Mado would have been meaningless.

Everyone was pessimistic about the outcome of Mado Jun Special Class facing that "One-Eyed Owl".

CCG has fought against "One-Eyed Owl" more than once and has a deep understanding of his strength, so they really can't be optimistic.

Even Mado Kureo has given up all hope. His eyes are dull and lifeless. He seems to have calmed down, but in reality, he is completely desperate.

He couldn't imagine what Mado Mi would be like if she returned to F124 deep in Sector 24...

However, at that moment, Marutei's wireless equipment suddenly became active.

He initially thought it came from the CCG, so he didn't react much.

But what he heard next was Mado Hiro's voice...

"Special Detective Marute: 'One-Eyed Owl' has retreated."

"what?!"

Marutei was immediately shocked.

Has the "One-Eyed Owl" actually retreated?

Could it be that he was defeated by Jun Special Class Mado?!

Upon hearing Mado Wei's voice, Mado Kureo was immediately jolted.

His eyes welled up with tears, and he was so moved that he shed them.

One moment he was in utter despair, the next he was suddenly greeted with earth-shattering good news. This dramatic emotional rollercoaster brought him to tears of joy.

"So, this means that Jun Special Class Mado single-handedly defeated the 'One-Eyed Owl'?! Truly worthy of being Jun Special Class Mado!"

"Although Kurobe defeated 'One-Eyed Owl' last time, it was a situation where the elites of District 2 besieged 'One-Eyed Owl'. In comparison, Mado Jun Special Class's performance was more amazing."

"However, it was precisely because Kurobe had severely injured 'One-Eyed Owl' and weakened its strength that he indirectly helped Mado Jun Special Class."

"..."

The rest of the search team were also amazed.

They overlooked Uchiha Byakuya, since normally, a second-class investigator would be doing quite well if he didn't get dragged down by Mado Jun Special Investigator in this situation.

"That's great, Mado, you'll definitely be promoted to Special Class when we get back!"

Marutei offered his congratulations.

However, the next moment, Mado said, "No... this time it had almost nothing to do with me. It was Uchiha Ni-san who defeated 'One-Eyed Owl' all by himself."

"Oh... Ah?!"

Marutei was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Was it Uchiha Ni-class who repelled the "One-Eyed Owl"?!

A second-class investigator... is it really possible for him to do something like this?!

The other team members were also dumbfounded, looking at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Marude Sai was the first to recover. He knew that now was not the time to be shocked and that he had to hurry back to Mado Jun Special Class and Uchiha Second Class.

Since Mado Jun Special Class and Uchiha Second Class are likely already injured, it would be extremely dangerous if they encountered an S-rank or higher ghoul under these circumstances.

"No matter what, we must return to F124 immediately and safely evacuate the 24th District with Jun Special Inspector Mado and Second Inspector Uchiha. Does everyone understand our mission now?"

Marutei said in a very serious tone.

"understand!"

The search team re-entered Sector 24 and rushed to the depths of F124 as quickly as possible.

Mado Kureo was the fastest; the people behind him could barely keep up with him.

............

Soon, the search team returned to F124.

They saw Uchiha Byakuya and Mado Wee standing there waiting for them.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Marutesai couldn't help but ask.

In particular, he noticed that neither Jun Mado nor Jun Uchiha seemed to be injured, and there was only a quinque shaped like a katana broken in two on the ground.

All he knew was that this was definitely not Mado's Jun-Special Grade Quinque, so it must be Uchiha's Second Grade Quinque.

Mado then briefly recounted the events of that time to Marude Sai.

Marude Sai looked at Uchiha Byakuya with astonishment, "A second-class investigator being able to fight against an SSS-rank ghoul, that's truly eye-opening..."

"You flatter me, Marute. Without Mado's Quinque, I wouldn't have been able to fight back at all."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

An S-class Quinque at least gives him a chance to injure "One-Eyed Owl," unlike a B-class Quinque which is destroyed instantly.

If he hadn't had the opportunity to injure "One-Eyed Owl," "One-Eyed Owl" might not have been willing to retreat.

Chapter 19: Two Promotions in One Go, Senior Investigator

"That's not quite right. It's just that your position is only second-class for now, but with your skills you are fully qualified to match S-class Quinque."

Marutesai said.

Even Mado Kureo, who was always obsessed with quinques, was too preoccupied to speak at this moment.

Seeing that Mado was still alive and almost unharmed, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Um......"

Uchiha Byakuya didn't say much.

He simply felt that his physical fitness was far from adequate.

Of course, the so-called "far from enough" is in comparison to Arima Kishou.

Ten years before the events of the original story, Arima Kishou, who was only nineteen years old and also a second-class investigator, used two B-class quinques he casually picked up to cut off the SSS-class "Unkillable Owl's" two kagune arms, along with the kagune sac.

Later, the kagune arms of "The Unkillable Owl," which included the kagune sac, were made into the SSS-class quinque "Owl."

If it's just a kagune arm, it's not enough to make a quinque; you also need a kagune sac.

Otherwise, wouldn't quinques be available in bulk? After all, it's relatively easy to get a ghoul's kagune, but it's very difficult to get a kagune sac.

Although Uchiha Byakuya always found it somewhat miraculous that Arima Kishou was able to cut off the arm of the "Unkillable Owl" with such a fragile B-rank quinque...

The only reasonable explanation is that Arima Kishou's physical abilities are too strong. Not only can he ensure that he remains unharmed, but he can also ensure that the Quinque in his hand is not destroyed by the "Non-Killing Owl". Moreover, the reason why the "Non-Killing Owl" is called "Non-Killing" is because it never kills, which is equivalent to holding back.

Due to a variety of factors, Arima Kishou achieved this miraculous feat.

So to put it bluntly, it's because Uchiha Byakuya's current abilities are insufficient.

"The basic abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan are indeed very useful, but physical fitness must also keep up. In the future, I need to allocate attribute points more rationally, not focusing too much on 'RC cell value' nor neglecting 'physique'..."

Uchiha Byakuya mentally summarized the lessons learned from this experience.

Without this battle with the "One-Eyed Owl," Uchiha Byakuya would have been unable to recognize his own shortcomings, since such things cannot be judged through theory.
