Chapter 84 Is the relationship so good?
Area 1, CCG headquarters, auditorium.
The war in Zone 11 finally ended with CCG's victory.
The CCG special countermeasures team, led by Maru Tesai, wiped out all 11 ghouls remaining in the base in Area 204, including the cadres, the Ping brothers and Jason.
He even managed to severely injure and repel the SSS-level ghoul One-Eyed Owl again, leaving behind one of Owl's arms.
With such a brilliant record, the General Administration naturally wouldn't be stingy with rewards. Those who deserved promotions would receive promotions, those who deserved raises would receive raises, and those who deserved commendations would receive commendations.
In this battle, the performances of three people were the most outstanding, they were Hakua, Suzuya Juuzo, and Amon Kotaro.
"Amon Kotaro."
The speaker was a man wearing a white suit, with medium-length hair and a kind face.
He Xiu Jishi, the current director of CCG.
"To!"
When his name was called, Yamon immediately stood up and came in front of Hexiu Jitoki.
"In view of your outstanding performance in killing the S-rank ghoul 'Tail Brother' in this battle, I hereby award you the White Wing Badge and appoint you as a Senior Investigator."
After saying that, He Xiu Jishi handed the letter of appointment to Yamen, then took out the white wing badge from the brocade box and personally put it on Yamen's chest.
"Yes! Thank you for your reward and trust!"
Yamen expressed his gratitude seriously, his body unconsciously tensed due to nervousness.
After He Xiujishi put on the medal, he returned to his seat with stiff steps.
"Juzo Suzuya." After conferring the honors on Amon, He Xiujishi called out Suzuya's name again.
"Yes~"
Suzuya still maintained his slightly crazy look as he staggered onto the stage.
"In recognition of your outstanding performance in killing 'Jason' during the battle, I hereby appoint you as Second-Class Investigator and award you the White Wings Badge."
Following the same process as Amon, Kazuyoshi handed the letter of appointment to Suzuya and pinned the white double-winged emblem on him.
In fact, with Suzuya's record, there would be no problem even if he was directly promoted to the upper level.
But considering that Suzuya has only been a third-class investigator for less than a year, in the history of CCG, no one has ever been promoted so quickly except Arima Takashi.
Moreover, Suzuya's special case made Shuji feel a subtle sense of uneasiness in his heart for some reason.
In short, due to various considerations, He Xiujishi finally decided to promote Suzuya step by step.
Then, Suzuya jumped off the stage.
Seeing that the awarding ceremony for the two was over, all the investigators present immediately perked up and turned their attention to Bai Ge who was daydreaming in the crowd.
They all knew that the highlight was yet to come.
"Bai Ge."
When talking to Xiu Ji, he called out Bai Ge's name.
"Huh? Oh."
Bai Ge came back to his senses when he heard his name, yawned, lazily stood up from his seat, and walked slowly to the stage.
"In this battle against Area 11, you single-handedly fought against the SSS-rank ghoul One-Eyed Owl, successfully repelling him and severely injuring him."
"With such impressive achievements and your qualifications, Headquarters and the Council have finally decided to appoint you as a Special Investigator."
"This White Dragon Wing Badge is proof of your great achievements."
After saying that, He Xiu Jishi handed the letter of appointment to Bai Ge, then took out the White Dragon Wing Badge, which represented the highest honor of CCG and was coveted by countless investigators, and put it on Bai Ge's chest.
The badge was worn on Bai Ge's chest, and it shone brightly under the light along with the white double-winged badge that Bai Ge had been awarded before.
The next second, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
At the age of 17, he single-handedly defeated the SSS-level ghoul One-Eyed Owl and was promoted to a special investigator.
Such an achievement was not even achieved by Arima Takashi back then.
However, Bai Ge’s expression now doesn’t look that happy.
His mind was now filled with only one thought: What about the agreement that I could only be promoted to Quasi-Special Grade at most?
Who is it! Who murdered me?!
Bai Ge's eyes swept across the people in the audience, and finally stopped at a white-haired man with glasses sitting in the first row.
"Damn! Why is Lao Ma here? Did this guy suggest it?"
The first time Bai Ge saw Arima Takashi, he felt that this guy was the most suspicious.
Because whether it was the old thief Marute, Yukinori Shinohara, or Iwa Kuroiwa, I had already given them a shot of defense in advance.
And although these three people are all special, they are not qualified to move the council.
But Arima Kisho was different. As the strongest in the CCG, a hero targeted by countless investigators, and leader of the CCG's strongest squadron, Squad 0, his words carried weight.
The award ceremony was over, and now it was time for the investigators to have a banquet to relax.
Bai Ge, who had just been promoted to the special grade, unsurprisingly became the center of attention at the banquet.
As soon as some new investigators entered the banquet hall, they swarmed around Bai Ge.
Some wanted autographs, some wanted photos, some asked Bai Ge what he thought about his promotion...
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a fan meeting of some big star.
With Bai Ge's temper, he certainly wouldn't indulge them. So Bai Ge's response was just a few short words: "Get out of here!"
However, after being scolded by Bai Ge, the fans were not angry or disappointed. Instead, they all looked excited.
"That's right! That's the feeling!"
"So strong! So handsome!"
"This kind of Bai Ge special, somehow feels a little cute."
"You want to become stronger? You have to be foul-mouthed first? Hmm, I see."
Bai Ge: “…”
He now finally understood what it meant to want to scold someone but be afraid that the other person would feel good about it.
This CCG is almost useless.
However, Bai Ge did not resign himself to his fate. With his nimble movements, he easily made his way through the crowd and came to a few acquaintances.
Here, Mado rarely showed a normal smile, and expressed his pride and honor in Amon's growth from the bottom of his heart.
For Amon, Mado's recognition makes him happier than any honor or reward.
Seeing this, Bai Ge came over and patted Yamen on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Not bad, Yamen. From now on, you can also be an independent investigator."
"Thanks to you and Mado for your training. I'm very proud to receive your recognition!"
Yamen bowed deeply to the two of them solemnly, and his words came completely from the heart without any falsehood.
"What about me? What about me? Bai Ge is great, Ling is also great, right?"
When Suzuya saw that Baige only praised Yamen, he looked anxious like a student who longed to be praised by his teacher.
"Of course!" Bai Ge habitually patted Lingwu's head. "As long as she accumulates some more experience, Ling will soon become an independent investigator."
"Yeah!" Suzuya nodded happily, his big eyes filled with excitement and joy.
At this moment, a gentle and charming voice came: "Xiaobai, congratulations on your promotion to special grade."
The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, had a head of white hair, a well-proportioned and tall figure, a handsome face, and a pair of narrow-framed glasses on his nose.
It is the most representative figure of CCG, the target that countless investigators want to catch up with - Arima Takamasa.
Hearing this voice, Bai Ge's originally calm expression instantly changed, and he looked at the person who came with gritted teeth: "Haha, Lao Ma, you really have the guts to come to me!"
“So it’s already been discovered?”
Facing Bai Ge who looked like he was about to beat someone up, Arima Takashi just smiled gently.
"You were the one who suggested this to the director, right? I told the old thief Marute and the others in advance. You're the only one who could do such a stupid thing."
"That's right." Arima Takashi directly admitted that it was indeed he who did it.
"But you can rest assured about one thing. You will enjoy the powers and treatment of a special officer, but you will not have to perform the regional management duties of a special investigator."
"Except for major events and operations, your participation in other work is entirely up to you. This is something I specifically sought from the director and the council."
After hearing this, Bai Ge's mood suddenly became good again.
He likes this kind of job where he gets paid without having to work.
"That's more like it. Since you're sincere, I won't bomb your house tonight."
"Shall I say thank you?"
"Whatever. Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together so we can go home from get off work."
"Okay."
Arima Takashi readily agreed and went to the self-service area with Bai Ge, leaving the others in a mess.
These two, it turns out they have such a good relationship?
