"What did you say?"
"Why do I have to be in my senior year of high school? The third year is the hardest, and everyone around me already has their own little cliques. Transferring in halfway through makes the third year the most difficult year!" Lin Yan was just going along with Ye Ming's words.
"...Of course, right?" Ye Ming's tone suddenly changed; he wasn't always so carefree.
After all, they are people from a research institute.
And he's not a newcomer anymore.
"I think I've already said that the Rebirth Project is an experiment to test the rebirth of NEETs. What's the point if it's too easy?"
His gaze was incredibly solemn.
Lin Yan's lips curled into a smile, a smile that sent a shiver down Ye Ming's spine.

This time, Ye Ming realized that he might have really encountered a difficult person to deal with, and this seemed to contradict the information he had. If he hadn't already verified it, he would have seriously doubted that he had found the wrong person.
"You're right."
"Thank you for your understanding—" Ye Ming returned to his previous expression. In fact, he had already begun to look at Lin Yan with new respect and decided to pay special attention to Lin Yan in the future.
"Oh, right! Besides me, there's another transfer student?"
"Hmm. I think her name is... Onoya-kun?"
"Could it be... that she... is also a test subject?"
"Why don't you just ask her?"
"What!?"
"Have you participated in the Rebirth Project?" Ye Ming suddenly raised his voice.
"So sudden? I'm not a weirdo!"
"Okay, jokes aside, the location for our rebirth plan will still be a school that's easy to infiltrate and where transfers are common. It's probably because the university affiliated with this school offers direct admission, so transfer students aren't unusual. I think Onoya-kun is just one of them!"
"Hmph—"
"What type of girl do you like?" Lin Yan didn't expect such a nonsensical question, especially one that was in his private life.
He just smiled.
no answer.
"I wanted to talk about things that high school boys talk about."
"Oh!!"
"You looked all smug after she talked to you, didn't you?"
"You...you shouldn't be observing things like this!!"
"Actually, it's okay! We don't forbid dating, you can fully enjoy this rare student life."
"I prefer mature women to teenage girls, and I have no interest in minors or those who have just come of age."
Lin Yan said.
Actually, I've hardly encountered any truly perfect women before. When it comes to perfect appearance, they are the angels.
For example: Yan.
Yan possessed an innate arrogance from a young age, but interestingly, she showed her most genuine side in front of Ge Xiaolun. Ultimately, she returned to Angel City to organize the Angel Legion to descend upon the Galactic Civilization.
"Really? Although there's a ten-year age gap, you two seem to be chatting very naturally." Ye Ming didn't seem to care much about IDUI, since he knew the other person wasn't a minor either.
The two are about the same age.
Lin Yan was just making up an excuse; in reality, he knew that Chizuru Himeragi was also a girl approaching thirty.
However, he had absolutely no interest in getting involved in a relationship that was destined to end in separation.
He just wanted to finish his mission and leave this world.
If it can have a positive impact and result on the original owner's friends, then that would be a very good thing.
"Without any achievements, you're just going through the same dull, aimless days every day. Living such a boring and tasteless life, you must often think, 'Ah! High school students are so radiant!' or 'I wish I could go back to that time,' right? And when that wish comes true, and you actually touch that radiance, what are your thoughts? Isn't there anything that makes you feel excited?"
"...Even so, it's perfectly normal to want to go back to your high school days, back to that time! Adults with such thoughts are suddenly thrown into the midst of active high school students, and they're more confused than enjoying it! As you said, this is truly an 'uneasy' experiment!"
Lin Yan, however, didn't care at all.
His eyes were cold.
Looking into the distance.
Then he continued.
"To be honest, I have no interest in any of this. I just want it all to end as soon as possible so that... I can go back to my normal life."
“Whether you live life to the fullest or to a life of ease, it’s all part of life. I think we should do it your way! To be honest, it’s easier for me to do things this way. Because we can record the experimental results without too much embellishment,” Ye Ming said. Actually, the real reason for this experiment wasn’t to let them live a peaceful life.
It's not just another chance.
Each new opportunity brings new insights.
This might be the way to rewrite my once bleak life.
Lin Yan knew this all too well.
However, everything about him exists in a higher realm, and cannot be changed by such a small experiment, which is why things are like this.
He suddenly thought of Chizuru Hishiro.
Chizuru Himeragi is actually a good girl, just a bit introverted, not truly cold-hearted. And in the end, she ended up with the person she loved. Isn't that a beautiful kind of happiness? Lin Yan smiled slightly as he thought about it.
"I remember her as... Himyo! The top student in the entire school year, Himyo."
"You're really good at remembering people's faces and names!"
"Oh...because I just spoke to her this morning."
Do you like that type?
That's enough!
"Mr. Lin Yan?"
"I'll go take a look. Oh, and I'll return the tray while I'm at it."
"what……"
As Lin Yan was setting out the trays, he suddenly saw Chizuru Himeragi. Chizuru Himeragi was standing silently in front of the ordering machine, seemingly lost in thought, as if she had encountered some difficulties.
"Nissai... classmate?"
“…The person carrying cigarettes…” Chizuru Himeragi muttered softly again, a hint of surprise in her eyes beneath her indifference.
"Your way of remembering people is so hurtful...!"
"I'm sorry. It left such a deep impression on me that I accidentally..."
"What happened? You seem troubled..."
"I never expected someone like you to worry about me... I feel a little angry."
"What!?"
"...As usual, I didn't bring any money. I told the aunt that I would treat her to a meal if I won first place this time, but it didn't work."
"???"
"...Hmm, so your problem is that you forgot to bring money and can't buy lunch?"
"I didn't forget. I just didn't bring it with me."
"It means the same thing, right?"
"Here you go! You can return it to me anytime." This was a casual gesture, something he would do even if he encountered a hungry and cold puppy on the street, so helping Chizuru Himeragi was only natural, he said to her.
Chizuru Himeragi stared at the thousand-yen bill with exaggerated surprise, and said...
"I can't accept so much money."
"what?"
"With just three hundred dollars, you can order most meals. I think a thousand dollars is a huge amount for a high school student. How could you lend it to someone so easily..."
"How should I put it... how should I put it... your demeanor is so mature..." Hyuga Chizuru suddenly said. In his eyes, Hyuga Chizuru did indeed see a feeling different from that of a high school boy, a feeling that was very similar to that of a colleague he used to work with.

"No...it's okay! I just happened to bring a lot of money with me today! And you might need the money before you go home, so here you go!" Lin Yan is a normal adult after all. Maybe such a large sum of money is normal in the eyes of adults, but it is indeed too much for a high school student.
A lunch at the high school cafeteria costs only around 300 yuan.
This one large bill could buy lunches for several days.
“…Then…I’ll gladly accept your offer. I’m sorry.” Chizuru Himawari was genuinely a little shy, then accepted the money. “Thank you. I’ll definitely pay you back tomorrow.”
Chizuru's gaze softened slightly, and she smiled. Her smile was truly gentle, like basking in the sunshine.
"Welcome back!" When Lin Yan returned, he saw Ye Ming with an ambiguous smile on his face, a smile that was just too irritating.
"You even said that as long as we get through this year smoothly, everything will be fine. Although you have a sharp tongue and are clumsy, you are actually a warm-hearted and gentle person!"
Ye Ming probably saw that the man in front of him would not be swayed by his words, nor was he someone he could manipulate, so he ended the topic and said.
"The boy and girl who get the highest score on the first day of school will become the class monitor for the semester."
"Yeah! I heard that from Oogami and Kari. But, it doesn't really matter if you're not number one, right? That's just my opinion... Being class monitor must be tough! What, are kids these days all so eager to serve others?"
"No, no. That has never changed from ancient times to the present. Ah, you don't need to worry at all about your chances of becoming class monitor..."
"Don't sound so apologetic! I already know!"
"Hahaha!" Ye Ming laughed as he hooked his tie with his hand, showing off his tie clip to him.
"Now everyone has a different colored tie clip according to their grade. Third graders get red. The class monitor gets a silver tie clip in addition to red. As long as you don't go up there, you can eat at the student cafeteria for free."
"Really!"
"In addition, transportation and tuition fees will be fully covered. The compensation is commensurate with the position's requirements and exceeds the job's value. Everyone is looking forward to the silver tie clip. Is it because Hida-kun is always number one that he completely forgot to bring money?"
It turned out to be the case.
Lin Yan finally understood the real reason why Chizuru Himeragi was so careless. It turned out that she had always received special treatment, which was why she was like that. Perhaps she hadn't adapted to it yet. However, Lin Yan was very adaptable, and the same was true for this world.
"Oh—being a class monitor like that is really good..."
"Sigh, it's a pity if you wanted to be..."
"You don't need to repeat yourself! I know!"
"But you don't need to worry about money now! The money you lent to Ridai earlier was actually mine, after all."
"Your organization! Hey, can you please stop using that annoying tone when you're talking about smuggling people?"
"Haha! You're really funny, Mr. Lin Yan. I'm so happy to be in charge of you!"
"However, I would appreciate it if you could try not to ask me for help all the time. Today is the first day of school, so I will respond to you, but I am only here to assist you and cannot interfere too much. If two adults are always hanging out together, then there is no point in being a high school student."
"I know!"
"Also, I won't use honorifics with you at school, please forgive me! You can also use a peer's tone with me... I mean, you used it from the beginning! Haha! What a rude person!"
Seeing this world for the first time, the first exam was over. For the teenagers around him, this was truly an unexpected ordeal, but for Lin Yan, it was just a minor, trivial matter.
Lin Yan stretched.
—I hope I can go back soon.
This day was incredibly boring. I had never thought about going back to the past before, but I had heard many people complain that if they could go back to the past and have another chance to choose, they would definitely not be in the same situation as they are now.
Perhaps this is all just wishful thinking.
What would happen if he had another chance? Lin Yan walked out of the classroom and strolled aimlessly down the corridor when he suddenly heard Xiao Jin's voice.
"Lin Yan!"
"Where are you going? The faculty and staff offices are over there! You don't know where they are, do you? Shall we go together?"
