The Collection of The End

—2015.5.22—

The Garden of Gathering, Class A of the second grade of middle school.

"This is the greatest challenge in the history of mankind,"

"In the last year of the 20th century, a huge meteorite from the universe hit the South Pole, the ice continent melted in an instant, the sea level rose, the earth's axis tilted, and the abnormal climate that threatened the survival of living things raged all over the world."

"And then, do you know? I was in Yinchuan Mansion 15 years ago..."

The old head teacher taught history class in a way of "reading textbooks" and "interspersing with their own personal experiences", but the former classmates already knew it, and the latter's words... Who cares about the past of a bad old man.

Ikari Shinji turned the pen in his hand, and from time to time, he drew a "knowledge point" in the textbook that he didn't know if he had a chance to use it.

At this time, he has transferred schools for two weeks, and he has to go to NERV for training three days a week, and the other three days to attend the school. It is unreasonable to think, because if the apostles start to appear, and can predict the time and place of the next appearance, then he will Now it is time to prepare for the war with all his strength, but Misato Katsuragi insists that his current schedule is specially arranged to fight against the apostles.

Naturally, Shinji Ikari would not believe this explanation, so he took a chance and grabbed the tablet that Misato Katsuragi used to arrange his schedule, and found that...it is true, if the things shown above are true.

[Ikari Shinji: Pilot of the first aircraft]

[Physical Strength: 10, Intelligence Index: 12, Mental Strength: 14, Language Ability: 18, Social Adaptation: 16, Moral Concept: 4, Feeling Ability: 16, Fatigue Level: 20, Synchronization Rate: 67%, AT Force Field Strength: 8000]

The upper limit of the first few items is 99, while the upper limit of fatigue is 200, the synchronization rate is 100%, and the meaning of AT force field strength is unclear.

Although I don't know the meaning of the exact size of these numbers, one of them is definitely slander!

After Misato Katsuragi tried to fool Shinji to no avail, he had to explain honestly that these values ​​were NERV's assessment of him, and all the course arrangements were to improve his "ability value".

For example, if he earnestly completes a half-day history class, the "fatigue level" will increase by 5-10, the "intelligence index" and "moral concept" will increase by 0.3-0.5, but the "social adaptation" will decrease by 0.2-0.4, And if he completes a NERV shooting training, "physical strength" and "mental strength" and "feeling ability" will increase by 0.4-0.6, but fatigue will increase by 10-15, and "morality" will also decrease by 0.3-0.6

Therefore, the self who is obviously a good boy only has 4 moral points...

Of course, the specific increase or decrease is only a part of the itinerary system on the tablet, and there may be some scientific basis, but at least Shinji Ikari himself did not feel that there was any special change after the half-day class - except for being more sleepy.

At that time, he looked through other itineraries, and as expected, saw a lot of increase and decrease in attributes. Katsuragi Miri had to keep improving her attributes while ensuring that her fatigue was low.

By the way, if you cannot arrange study and training every Sunday, the fatigue value will be reduced by 30 points. If you give pocket money, the reduced value will increase to 50 points. If you give a lot of pocket money, it will not only reduce fatigue by 80 points, but also Will increase language ability and social adaptation, but somehow reduce AT force field strength and synchronization rate.

I have to say, NERV is too self-righteous, will he be affected by the amount of pocket money?

I don't know what the criteria for judging this thing is, and where is my data... from...

Tsk, think about it carefully, when he got into the plug full of LCL, he must have been thoroughly analyzed. Although he is still unhappy about being "digitized", in all fairness, this value should not be too different from the "real situation". Many—perhaps with the help of someone qualified with similar analytical skills?

Ding-dong-dang-dong.

"Stand up! Salute!" As the get out of class bell rang, the monitor quickly shouted the password.

"Yeah." After nodding to the students, the history teacher left the classroom with the lesson plan in between.

The classmates around Ikari Shinji began to chat in low voices, packed their things, went home, and those who had a club were going to participate in club activities. From time to time, people glanced at him, but they didn't pay too much attention.

After two weeks of getting along—although it was actually only half of it, although many of the classmates were still curious about him to a certain extent, they were no longer surrounded by him to ask questions.

Of course, the bigger reason is probably because he was quickly classified as "my own person" by Lingami Ayanami. Although in those best-selling works that describe feelings, the feelings of the characters are always triangular and four-cornered, but in fact, digging corners Considered highly unethical behavior, to the extent that it can be openly bullied.

Click, click, click.

Ikari Shinji's ears moved, and he quickly put the textbook into his schoolbag, and then stood up, looking at the blue-haired, red-eyed, expressionless girl who just walked up to him.

"Let's go," she said, then turned around.

"Hmm." Shinji Ikari nodded and followed.

He shouldn't have taken the initiative to be polite in the first place. Who would take "please take care of me" literally? It's as if someone politely said, "Come out to eat together when you are free", but was answered "I will be free tomorrow", so why don't you go tomorrow.

Obviously, what this girl usually hears is basically the clear and clear instructions of NERV, and it is impossible for anyone to say "please take care of her", so I take it literally, betting one hundred yuan, her "social adaptation" No more than 5, "language ability" may also be dangerous.

In the whispers of other classmates, the two left the teaching building to the club classroom building, and opened one of the classrooms with the "[Literature Club]" sign on the door.

The layout inside is very simple, a desk, a conference table and a blackboard behind it, three or five metal folding stools, and a row of large bookshelves against the wall, with a utility room on the side, where some items that are not commonly used are stacked. .

"sit down."

"Um."

"What to drink?"

"Ice water."

"Okay."

Ayanami took out a kettle from the utility room, poured a glass of cold water for Shinji Ikari and placed it on the table in front of him, then poured himself a glass of boiling water, and ate a few pills and capsules of unknown use, then took out a cup of cold water from the desk drawer. He took out a pair of glasses and put them on, then took a book from the large bookshelf next to him, and sat on the high-back chair by the window of the club classroom to start reading.

The girl wrapped in bandages and tape is reading quietly in the empty club classroom. It is quite strange. I think that the technology of the assembly garden has exceeded the furnishings in this classroom for many years, and the strangeness has increased. Combined with her, she is actually a The fact that he was the driver of a super-giant robot couldn't be more surprising.

Ikari Shinji held the glass of water in his hand and leaned against the back of the chair with ease.

Although it was unbelievable, he felt very relaxed in this kind of environment that might seem strange to others. If it was converted to the value on Katsuragi Misato's side, it would be the fatigue level of -1-1-1.

—

At the beginning, in the face of his "please take care of me," Ling Ling responded with "Okay", then turned around and brought the application form of the "Literary Club" for him to sign.

In her understanding, "care" means accepting as a younger brother.

It seemed, as if, presumably, it was.

Ikari Shinji originally came to see the excitement with the idea of ​​"there will be a club to accept her", but found that the entire "literary club" was only Ling Ling.

Obviously, there must be at least three people, and the instructor must be invited to form a club... No, schools for qualified students cannot be judged by common sense.

Two weeks ago, I was a little too young to try to chat with Rei Ayanami, which is embarrassing when I think about it now—but Rei Ayanami doesn’t seem to think it’s embarrassing—it’s even more embarrassing.

"Is this your club?"

"Yes."

"What about the other club members?"

"only you."

"You are the only one in the whole society?"

"And you."

"I mean, have you invited anyone to join?"

"Invited."

"What about the other club members?"

"only you."

"…"

There is no doubt that Ayanami's guardian is definitely her own father, let's see what he has taught Zero.

It has been two weeks since joining the club. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Ayanami will take herself away and hold "club activities". Specifically, she reads books there and dazes herself here.

Being too young, he still tried to communicate with Rei Ayanami in previous club activities.

"What should the club activities of the literature club do?"

"read."

"Apart from reading?"

"Share a good book."

"Then do you have any books you would like to recommend to me?"

""Detective Conan"."

"what?"

"It was a detective story about a high school student detective who was poisoned by an evil organization and accidentally became smaller, and then stayed at his girlfriend's house and continued to use his girlfriend's father to solve the case, hoping to destroy the evil organization one day."

"I'm not too big on detective stories..."

"The heroine Haibara Ai is very cute and highly recommended."

"actually…"

"highly recommended."

How should I put it, I must have been shocked by what Ayanami said with a blank face and strongly recommended it. After subconsciously agreeing, I had to move back to the dormitory with a hundred volumes of detective novels. Katsuragi Misato's wild laughter was even across the wall. Hear it clearly.

After thinking about the pain, he finally found a way to get along with Ayanami Zero, that is to do their own thing, and use simple and direct sentences as much as possible when communicating.

As long as she doesn't ask her what she wants to do, Chiyu won't be affected.

It turned out that this was a very correct decision, and the atmosphere of the literary club became as quiet and peaceful as it was at the moment.

Although he didn't know what kind of value increase or decrease he could get from Katsuragi Misato for the twice-weekly "club activities", at least here, he could really feel the feeling of being an "ordinary student".

If that's part of my father's plan, he'll admit it.

Drop drop, drop drop.

Ikari Shinji hadn't even finished drinking half of the water, when the sound of some kind of electronic device suddenly sounded in the room.

Strange, this doesn't look like a cell phone ringtone.

He was looking around when he saw Lingami raised his hand and squeezed the frame of his glasses, and a series of words and images flashed on the lenses.

"Go back," Ayanami took off her glasses and looked at Shinji Ikari: "The fourth apostle has appeared."

...where did you buy the glasses?
