[Item in the Shop: Tiger Skin Mask]

Not to mention the changes to the system panel, there's also a new section for "Items in the Shop," where the "Tiger Skin Mask" I just bought is indeed located.

Uchiha Byakuya tried to put it on using his mind, and a red tiger-skin mask immediately appeared on his face, with some black tiger-skin patterns on the orange-red mask.

Although the mask only has one hole for the right eye, it does not affect the use of his divine power. This is a special effect of the mask. His left eye can also see the outside world and use pupil techniques through the mask, but the outside world cannot see his left eye through the mask.

Uchiha Byakuya picked up a mirror from the table next to him, looked at himself, and felt that he looked pretty good.

Aside from his right eye, which is visible, no other part of his face is visible.

If that's the case, wouldn't he also be able to disguise himself as a "one-eyed ghoul" or a "half-ghoul"?

With another thought, Uchiha Byakuya returned the tiger-skin mask to the system menu.

His face immediately appeared in the mirror, and it was indeed exactly the same as his face in his previous life.

While he may not be considered exceptionally handsome, he is still quite good-looking, with naturally striking features.

However, his features are rather deep and somber, not the sunny type, but rather appearing rather calm and aloof.

After all, there aren't many sunny and cheerful people in the Uchiha clan, so Uchiha Byakuya can be said to have lived up to the name Uchiha.

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

The following morning, Uchiha Byakuya was recalled to the CCG branch.

The reason he was recalled was, of course, because of the ghoul from last night.

"Uchiha Second Class, I heard you have successfully completed the mission. According to the autopsy report, the two wounds on that ghoul's body were caused by your Quinque 'Eric'. Well done."

At this moment, standing before Uchiha Byakuya was one of his superiors, the captain of his squad, a senior investigator two ranks above him, and also a half-human from the White Day Court.

According to his memories, the other party was a rather outgoing young man named Sakai Joji, and he looked much like the person he remembered.

"You flatter me, Mr. Sakai."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

"Haha, Uchiha Ni-class is too modest. The juniors who handled the scene were full of praise for you when they came back."

Sakai Joji laughed and patted Uchiha Byakuya on the shoulder, "Good luck! I have high hopes for you to become a future Special Class."

"Thank you."

Uchiha Byakuya simply nodded expressionlessly, showing no emotional fluctuation.

Afterward, he went through some routine procedures, such as commendation and psychological counseling.

Investigators who have fought against ghouls generally need to receive psychological counseling after the battle, since ghouls look exactly like humans, and it's easy for them to develop psychological trauma or mental illness if they're not careful.

After Uchiha Byakuya left, a senior investigator who was on good terms with Sakai Joji approached him in surprise and said, "Sakai, you're not kidding, are you? Being a special class investigator isn't that easy..."

It should be noted that there are fewer than ten Special Investigators in the entire Tokyo area.

The difficulty of being promoted to Special Investigator is extremely high; one must have an exceptionally impressive record to have a chance.

"Of course I know, but my gut feeling is that Uchiha Class Two has a good chance of becoming a Special Class Investigator, or at the very least, a Associate Special Class."

Sakai Joji said confidently.

Although the records showed that Uchiha Ni-chan's performance was rather mediocre when he was still in the White Day Court, when he actually saw Uchiha Ni-chan in person, he felt that it was very different from the description in the records.

The senior investigator next to him thought that "near-Special Class" was still somewhat possible, but "Special Class" was too far off.

"Let's wait and see..."

Chapter 10 Discussion at Home (Third Update)

The ghoul we drove out yesterday was included in Uchiha Byakuya's battle record, which even includes details about how he used the Quinque.

However, his investigator rank won't be promoted to first class so quickly.

He only expelled a B-rank ghoul; he would need to expel at least several A-rank ghouls to secure a promotion to First Class Investigator.

To become a Senior Investigator, one needs to expel at least one S-rank ghoul.

Ideally, one should participate in large-scale extermination operations and achieve outstanding military exploits, as this is the easiest path to promotion.

The record of a B-rank ghoul is not very impressive unless you drive out dozens or hundreds of them to build up your record.

"You can take a period of administrative leave now. Take some time to relax during this period, but remember to keep Kuink with you as much as possible."

At this moment, Sakai Joji reminded Uchiha Byakuya.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

Administrative leave means temporarily waiving duties and resting for a period of time, during which time the person is paid, but must receive psychological counseling on time.

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

After leaving CCG, Uchiha Byakuya returned to work at Shoeisha as usual.

Normally, he would have already completed his mission to investigate ghouls, so there would be no need for him to continue infiltrating the Shoei Society.

However, he still had to handle the publication of Yoshimura Eto's book, so he planned to stay with Shoeisha.

Aside from necessary mission operations, the CCG generally does not forcibly interfere with the daily lives of investigators.

Therefore, it's not a big problem for Uchiha Byakuya to want to stay in the Shōei Society, but he can't guarantee his daily attendance at the Shōei Society.

However, given his special status as a CCG investigator, the Shoei Society would not make things difficult for him.

Having just fought a ghoul last night, Uchiha Byakuya arrived at Shoeisha for work today as if nothing had happened.

While checking in, he suddenly remembered that the system also required attendance...

[Ding! Host has completed the daily check-in and received a reward: 1 attribute point!]

【注：连续签到7天可额外获得5属性点，连续签到15天可额外获得10属性点，连续签到30天可额外获得20属性点......】

At first, you won't get many attribute points from signing in, but you'll accumulate more and more over time.

Because of his status as an investigator, Uchiha Byakuya brought Quinque to the office as well, but he used a briefcase to add another layer of packaging to the briefcase so that it wouldn't be noticed by ordinary people.

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

Today, Uchiha Byakuya's work, besides reading and annotating the electronic manuscript of "To Kafka," was to help Yoshimura Eto follow up on the publication process.

In fact, even though he possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, he can read ten lines at a glance without missing a single word. However, he still needs to annotate and comment on many paragraphs, which is the most time-consuming part.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, he finally finished reading and annotating the entire manuscript. It was a novella, totaling two to three hundred thousand words, which was just enough to be published as a book.

After getting off work and finishing dinner, Uchiha Byakuya called Yoshimura Eto.

"Professor Takatsuki, I have read your manuscript carefully and made some comments. Do you have time tonight to come to my house to discuss the manuscript?"

Uchiha Byakuya said.

"Okay, but I don't know your home address..."

"I'll send you the detailed address via text message. I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Uchiha Byakuya immediately sent a text message to Yoshimura Eto.

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

About half an hour later.

A soft knock came from the door, followed by Yoshimura Eto's voice.

"Mr. Uchiha, it's me..."

As expected, it was Yoshimura Eto outside the door, but judging from the speed, he must have walked there.

Uchiha Byakuya immediately went to open the door for Yoshimura Eto, saying, "Please come in, Takatsuki-sensei. I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable in my humble abode."

Before Yoshimura Eto arrived, Uchiha Byakuya had already put the Quinque briefcase into the wardrobe to prevent Yoshimura Eto from seeing it.

"Won't..."

Yoshimura Aite does know some etiquette in human society, such as taking off your shoes when entering someone's home.

"Oh, I forgot to bring an extra pair of slippers."

Uchiha Byakuya suddenly realized that he had overlooked this matter.

He had only been here for less than two days and hadn't thought of the Japanese having such customs.

"It's okay, it's fine if I don't wear shoes."

Fangcun Eite said.
