Why choose me?

Shinji Ikari lowered his head and clenched his fists.

All he wanted was to see his father; he never imagined something like this would happen.

After Shinji Ikari finished speaking, Gendo Ikari remained silent, only looking at him.

“Because no one else can do it.”

Said Shinji Ikari.

"No...no! I can't do this, how could I possibly do it!"

Shinji Ikari spoke in a low voice, then his voice grew louder and louder.

At that moment, Gendo Ikari's subordinate approached and said, "Commander, the Water Angel has begun to heal."

Gendo Ikari exhaled and opened another call panel. Inside was a white-haired man in his fifties or sixties who said, "Fuyutsuki, go and call Rei here."

"Ok."

The man on the panel nodded and ended the communication.

A moment later, Rei Ayanami, dressed in her combat uniform, walked out from a side door.

Rei Ayanami glanced at Shinji Ikari expressionlessly, then got into the cockpit in the insertion bolt.

Soon, Unit-01 was deployed.

We arrived at the water angel that was recovering.

At this point, the water angel's head had mostly recovered, but the AT field was not activated.

Therefore, Unit-01 easily destroyed the core of the Water Angel using the high-vibration particle blade.

"They've been taking way too long."

Lin Liangli watched the footage on the monitor and chuckled as he commented.

He thought that once the Water Angel lost its fighting ability, NERV would arrive immediately.

Unexpectedly, it took almost an hour for their Unit-01 to arrive.

"I went to bed."

Lin Liangli yawned, then turned and left.

. . .

The next day, Ryorei, Laiye, and Reina arrived at the school.

Today, a new classmate entered his class. Looking at the familiar name on the list, Lin Liangli smiled.

Shinji Ikari.

During gym class, Shinji Ikari, with a social anxiety-inducing expression, secretly glanced at Rei Ayanami, who was alone not far away, lost in thought.

Lin Liangli stroked his chin and slowly walked to Rei Ayanami's side, saying, "Ayanami, what's wrong? Why are you sitting alone?"

"Teacher Lin, it's nothing."

Rei Ayanami glanced at Lin Liangli, then looked away and said calmly.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Lin Liangli knew that Rei Ayanami was just like that, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin."

Rei Ayanami spoke with her face still expressionless.

She was actually wondering who the mysterious person who had saved her before was.

Before she completely lost consciousness, Rei Ayanami heard a relatively young female voice.

She only remembered this yesterday when she was piloting Unit-01.

On the eve of falling into a coma, I vaguely heard a young woman's voice say, "So young?"

Although we can't tell their exact age, we can be sure they are definitely no older than twenty.

"teacher!"

Suddenly, a lively voice rang out beside her.

Rei Ayanami turned her head and saw a beautiful high school girl running towards them.

"Rena, what brings you here?"

Lin Liangli was somewhat surprised to see Reina coming over during class.

This school includes both junior high and high school, so they are all together.

Rena should be in class at this time.

"Hehe, it's PE class, so I sneaked over."

Rena chuckled.

"You, you."

Lin Liangli smiled, somewhat annoyed.

School rules stipulate that older students are not allowed to go to the areas designated for younger students.

But it doesn't matter, no one will complain.

At that moment, Rei Ayanami felt that the voice sounded familiar.

It sounded just like the voice of the woman who had saved him before.

Rei Ayanami glanced in the direction of Rena and Ryore Hayashi, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, Rena saw a familiar figure.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was the very girl he had rescued.

She looked at Lin Liangli with a questioning look in her eyes.

Lin Liangli nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Rena realized that the girl was in her teacher's class.

When the break ended, Rena left.

During this time, Rei Ayanami became increasingly convinced that this girl was the mysterious person who had saved her before.

With the intention of getting to know her, Rei Ayanami sought out Ryosuke Hayashi.

"teacher LIN."

Rei Ayanami stood awkwardly by the desk, her voice still flat.

"Huh? Ayanami? What's wrong?"

Lin Liangli was organizing the students' sports information when he heard the sound. He looked up and was surprised to see Rei Ayanami. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Um, do you know that high school student from earlier?"

Rei Ayanami didn't know what to say, so she could only ask in this way.

"You mean Rena, right? She's my family."

Lin Liangli said.

"I want to get to know her."

Rei Ayanami spoke very directly.

Lin Liangli understood at this point, smiled, and said, "Okay, here's her class number. You can go find her."

As he spoke, Lin Liangli wrote down a class number and handed it to Rei Ayanami.

After receiving the class number, Rei Ayanami bowed and thanked him before turning and leaving the office.

"Quite perceptive."

Lin Liangli smiled.

As she left the office, Rei Ayanami looked at the class number in her hand, but instead of going to find it right away, she waited until school was over.

One by one, the older students walked out of their classrooms, all looking at Rei Ayanami standing at the door with surprise.

They didn't know why this pretty junior had come.

Many people even tried to chat her up, after all, Rei Ayanami is very beautiful.

"Sorry, I'm not planning on making friends."

Rei Ayanami took a step back and calmly addressed the PE student in front of her.

"Oh, don't be shy, it's just about making friends."

The physical education students persisted.

Although she was smiling, her smile was extremely cold, as if she would take action if Rei Ayanami disagreed.

Just then, Rena stepped out and looked at the sports student in a detached tone, "Kamei, why are you harassing my friend?"

When Kamei heard Rena's voice, he froze, turned around, and saw Rena.

He immediately took two steps back, somewhat unconvinced, the smile on his lips vanished, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Zoyama, what's it to you if I want to make friends with other people?"

"Can't you see that others don't like you? Get out!" Reina grabbed Rei Ayanami's hand and looked at Kamei coldly.

"you!"

Kamei shuddered as he recalled how he had tried to harass Rena yesterday, only to be defeated by her alone, along with three physical education students.

Seeing that Kamei didn't dare to step forward, Reina pulled Ayanami Rei a few steps, then stopped and turned back, saying, "If I see you harassing my friends again, watch out for my fists!"

After saying that, Ayanami left with Rei Ayanami.

After leaving the teaching building, Rena stopped and looked at the girl she had seen in the cockpit, saying, "Are you a student in the teacher's class? Did you come to see me?"

Even though she already knew Rei Ayanami's identity, she still had to pretend.
