"Oh, Soryu-san, are you still asking for leave today? Then Nagisa-san, let me answer this question."
"Teacher, Nagisa Kaoru and Aida Kensuke have transferred to another school."
"Really? Then you answer this question."
"Ah this..."
What does it mean to be in love and make people stupid? Shinji Ikari looked askance at Suzuhara Touji who was scratching his head in front of the blackboard. Because Toki is the monitor, he wants to perform better in class? Are you a primary school student?
In comparison, I don't know how high I am when I want to save the world for Ayanami.
Shinji Ikari tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl with blue hair and red eyes sitting in the second to last row by the window.
Before the "Third Impact", Rei Ayanami had the same expressionless face in class, but she could still see a bit of boredom, as if an ordinary person was watching a movie that she had watched countless times, which caused her to be originally It is more ethereal than the otherworldly temperament.
But now, even though her expression and movements were the same as before, Shinji Ikari could still tell from her expression that she was thinking about something intently.
If nothing else, she should be looking for ways to deal with the four "world-destroying things" from other world lines. She may have a lot of preparations, but she still doesn't have a foolproof confidence.
According to her explanation, in the world line where "the third impact has not occurred", although there will only be "the fabric of life", it does not mean that this thing will not appear in the world where "the third impact has occurred and the world still exists" "In the world.
These four world-destroying things, if calculated purely based on probability, have an equal chance of appearing. At the same time, because they can cause the destruction of the world when they appear alone, they occasionally appear in pairs and do not fight each other, so it is impossible to compare whose strength. Stronger.
However, if calculated according to the speed of destroying the world, from fastest to slowest, they are: "Eating Evil of the World", "Weave of Life", "Instrument of Thirst", and "Whisper of the Void".
As for their specific abilities, Ayanami simply summarizes them as the twelfth, sixteenth, thirteenth and fifteenth apostles.
According to the number, the fourteenth apostle who was caught in the middle by sheer force was not a human being - oh, it was not a human being in the first place.
Whether it is a coincidence or necessity, these apostles all possess some abilities that are difficult to deal with, especially the 16th apostle. Ayanami did not dare to let it appear in reality for even a second.
In contrast, the Twelve Apostles can tear open the Dirac Sea with their bare hands, and the Fifteen Apostles who can mind scan can completely ignore it if they are not afraid of death. As for the Thirteenth Apostle who can corrode and control EVA, Ikari has nothing to lose. For Shinji, it was even more free.
Of course, these "world-destroying things" only have similar abilities, but their strength far exceeds them. If I have to use metaphors...it is probably the gap between ordinary apostles and "Eve".
With adequate preparation, it is not impossible to win, but after losing the advantage of foresight, the price to pay is immeasurable.
"Ah, I remembered," when Suzuhara Touji was scratching his head, the class teacher said again: "Starting from the next semester, the assembly garden will adjust the teaching. There will no longer be unified teaching, but will be based on each student's teaching.
The 'superpower' attributes will be cultivated in a biased manner, and the judgment of the rating will be more diversified."
"Wow, this should have happened a long time ago."
"That's right, I'm not looking for abuse when a ground type is fighting against a flying type."
"Okay, I've been dissatisfied with the duel matching system for a long time. If you have an advantage, you win, if you have a disadvantage, you lose. Those of the same type are immune to each other, so give it a hammer."
The students took the opportunity to express their emotions.
"Well," the head teacher ignored the noisy classroom: "You can confirm the details by yourself, but generally speaking, according to the type of superpower, it will be divided into [physical variation], [energy transformation], [mental interference], [molecular influence], [
There are seven types: Time and Space Guidance], [Order Destruction] and [Unknown Realm], and the superpower intensity will also be divided into six levels from LV0 to LV5 according to [Paper, Union, Strong, Fierce, Mad, God]."
What!?
Hearing this very familiar classification, Shinji Ikari was shocked and turned his head to look at Rei Ayanami.
Rei Ayanami didn't look shocked at all - if he had, it would have been more shocking - he just shook his head slightly and nodded.
This means...this change was not arranged by her, but it has happened in other world lines?
No, it is unlikely that she arranged it. After all, the "Third Impact" occurred in a "closed space". Even if she can modify the world according to her own ideas after the "world restarts", it's not like it hasn't restarted yet.
?
Although the teaching methods and ability classification have been changed, because there are too few students, it will not turn the third New Tokyo City into an "academy city" in another world line, and daily life will not be greatly affected.
But the problem is that in my impression, the world line that did this was "historically" destroyed by the "weave of life".
This is great, there is no need to guess which world-destroying thing will appear next.
And the apostle corresponding to "The Thread of Life" is... the sixteenth apostle that he has never dealt with because of Nagisa Kaoru's help, and Ayanami is even more afraid of avoiding it.
How to fight this?
Huh? Wait, haven’t the means to deal with it already appeared?
In the world line that he mistakenly entered, the thing that originally destroyed the world should be the "Woven of Life", but it failed to appear. What he and other superpowers were fighting against were the more elegant and flexible "angels".
That is, the fourteenth apostle "here". Although it is not clear how this plan can expel a "world-destroying thing", as long as the "angel falls" plan is reproduced according to the script, maybe,
, it should be said that there is a great probability of doing the same thing, that is, "replacing the powerful enemy that appears". Unlike the situation in the world line where he had to deal with the apostles with bare hands, now NERV has EVA, just toilet paper apostles.
That's all, you can tear it apart with just one blow.
——
The gathering garden, after school.
Due to an unexpected incident, Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari did not go to the club classroom, but walked towards the staff building where the principal was located.
"I have told you the content of the so-called 'Angel Falls' plan before, but I only know the general theory and not the actual arrangements. After all, when I noticed it, it had successfully dragged down the 'Fourteenth Apostle'
," Shinji Ikari said as he walked: "However, I am very sure that the entire plan was secretly planned and executed by the director of the 'Assembly Garden'. So, if we go directly to the current director, we should be able to find something."
"Yes." Ayanami Rei responded briefly as he walked side by side.
"However, the problem is that NERV does not exist in that world line. The director is my father, and his purpose is to resurrect my mother in that world line." Shinji Ikari scratched his head: "Speaking of which, we are gathering
I have been attending school for one year, and I really don’t know who the principal is, let alone what plans he may have.”
"It's 'her'." Ayanami Rei replied.
"Huh? Do you know him?" After Shinji Ikari spoke, he realized that he had asked a nonsense question. Even if Ayanami had never been to this world line, the facts that had been determined before would not change. The principal of the Academy of Assembly Garden
Identity is not something that needs to be kept secret, she must know it.
"You know him too." Rei Ayanami said indifferently. He walked into the faculty building first and pressed the elevator.
Um?
Shinji Ikari was thinking while waiting for the elevator with Rei Ayanami.
First of all, exclude this world line. After arriving in New Tokyo City 3, I have no chance to meet the principal of the school. Then exclude the world that only Ayanami knows. My knowledge of those worlds has nothing to do with my current self.
In other words, the "principal of this world line" has appeared when he fell into "time and space turbulence", "Drac's Sea" or other situations that would cause him to see illusions.
She is a woman, qualified to take charge of the "Gathering Garden" that specializes in educating qualified people, and has the ability to implement the "Angel Falls" plan. She has seen it in the illusion but not in reality...
So, there is only one answer left.
She is——
squeak--
Ayanami walked into the elevator and rang the elevator pager instead of pressing the floor: "We want to meet the 'Principal of Naoko Akagi Academy'."
"[The application has been submitted, please wait for the principal's reply.]" the elevator intercom replied.
Give me a chance to reveal the truth!
"You can expose her plan in front of her." Ayanami Rei turned her head to look at him.
"Uh..." Shinji Ikari suddenly felt a little confused: "I'm not sure if the principal of the academy has a similar plan in 'this world line'."
"Change it if it exists, and encourage it if it doesn't." Ayanami Rei replied.
You petty bourgeoisie, you are illiterate!
squeak.
"[The principal has agreed to see you, please stand still.]" came the answer over the intercom.
The next moment, Shinji Ikari felt the elevator tremble slightly, followed by a slight feeling of weightlessness.
Instead of going up, it started to "fall".
——
"NERV's host machine 'MAGI' was manufactured under the leadership of Dr. Naoko Akagi. The technology it uses is said to be at least fifty years beyond the current level of technology. At the same time, it is unprecedentedly equipped with three artificial intelligences (AI), namely the Three Sages.
'MELCHIOR', 'BALTHASAR' and 'CASPER'," Rei Ayanami explained to Shinji Ikari during the descent of the elevator: "They inherited the 'scientist', 'mother' and 'woman' personalities of Dr. Naoko Akagi respectively."
"Hmm... think about it carefully, Miss Misato is usually the one giving the orders, but she actually only talks about it. Maya and the others who are responsible for executing the orders are just typing on the keyboard. The real hard-working computer 'MAGI',
But no one noticed at all, it's really unfair." Shinji Ikari nodded.
"..." Ayanami Rei stared at Ikari Shinji without saying a word.
"What, what? Isn't that right?" Shinji Ikari blinked in confusion.
Isn’t it okay to praise female AI?
"[Oh, Xiao Wei really gave birth to a good child, completely different from the heartless Sextant,]"
As the soft female voice came from the intercom, the elevator slowly stopped, and then the door opened, revealing a passage made entirely of silver-white metal and full of technology.
"[Come in quickly and let my sister take a good look~]"
Shinji Ikari belatedly "translated" Ayanami's eyes: Did you know she was listening?
Just kidding, if I had known earlier, I could have blown it out ten times as disgustingly, okay?
However, now that he has left a good impression on Naoko Akagi in advance, he cannot directly launch an army to accuse him, but can use roundabout tactics.
"This is..." Shinji Ikari followed behind, pretending that he didn't understand.
"The principal of the Garden of Assembly, Dr. Naoko Akagi," Rei Ayanami stepped out of the elevator: "She is NERV's last insurance against the failure of the apostles. Once the third impact is inevitable, she will perform self-isolation and will
All records in human history are carried to the next reincarnation, and when the intelligent beings in the next reincarnation discover her, she will warn them, and provide them with information on all qualified people, as well as experiences and lessons for dealing with the apostles."
Got it, it's a completely useless backup.
And even if it really works, how will this kind of personality make them think about the people of the previous generation? Speaking of her way of speaking... what kind of personality is she?
"It's the remaining part after dividing 'scientist', 'mother' and 'woman'," Rei Ayanami stood in front of a sci-fi style door and added: "The code name is, 'NOAH'."
What's left?
Zhizhi——Zizi——
Before Shinji Ikari could figure it out, the metal door in front of him separated up, down, left and right, revealing the situation inside the door.
It was an extremely huge hall that looked like a library hall at first glance, but the "bookshelfs" that made up the four walls of this "library" were actually rows of server hosts and dark and heavy storage media with tiny lights shining on them.
And things like batteries.
On the ceiling of the hall, there are dense wires and cables, converging from all directions to the center of the hall.
In the middle, there is a giant transparent column filled with orange-yellow solution. Inside the column, a young brown-haired woman wearing a white corset robe is hanging upside down with her eyes closed.
Judging from the appearance, it is indeed Naoko Akagi who wants to strangle little Ayanami in another world, but...
"Why does she look younger than Ritsuko Akagi-san?" Shinji Ikari blurted out.
"[Ouch, your little mouth is so sweet~]" The voice that just sounded appeared again: "[It's a pity that Ritsuko has chosen Ryouji Kaji, otherwise I would have introduced her to you.]"
Please be sure not to do that!
"Because Dr. Naoko Akagi became a vegetative state after dividing her personality to create 'MAGI'," Rei Ayanami said, "but Noah insisted that it was a necessary sacrifice."
"[Of course~ If I am still alive, I can exert influence on 'MAGI', which is impossible to be allowed by NERV. Rather than being killed by that heartless sextant, it is better to stay like this,]" Naoko Akagi
, No, Noah said this: "[Decades later, when Xiao Wei becomes an old lady, I will pour my consciousness back into my body and hang out in front of her, hee hee~]"
To pour consciousness back into the body?
Isn't this the most crucial part of the "Angel Has Fallen" plan?
