At the end of the day, as usual, Ye Ming would organize the data, and it was then that Lin Yan obtained another fragment, which, unexpectedly, turned out to be a whole piece...

[Ding! Please read the information about Ye Mingliao and obtain 98 Iron Fragments.]

[Ding! The system has detected that you have collected 100 Iron Fragments. You can choose to participate in a lottery or directly exchange them for a Bronze Fragment. Note: There is a chance of getting nothing from the lottery, and it will consume 100 Iron Fragments. You can also obtain any other fragment. Please choose whether to participate in the lottery. You have one minute to decide.]

"accept."

Even before the countdown started, Lin Yan had already decided to participate in the lottery.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have won a prize: 50 Silver Fragments. Furthermore, your chances of obtaining fragments will increase accordingly with your level, with the chance of obtaining Silver or higher-grade fragments increasing by 10000%.]

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

Is the system really that random? Or is his luck just incredibly good? Lin Yan chose to believe the latter, after all, his luck was actually pretty good; he was a protagonist with a halo, how bad could his luck be? He unknowingly fell asleep, and when he woke up it was already the next day. Lin Yan spent half an hour getting ready, ate breakfast, and then set off.

Feeling refreshed early in the morning, the aunt next door was once again captivated by Lin Yan's handsome appearance. She thought to herself that her daughter was about to start high school, and having such a handsome son-in-law seemed like a good thing, even though it was a bit early to be thinking about it.

The station was as familiar as ever, with quite a few people already waiting for their trains. The city mornings always gave off a sense of oppression, especially with the various high-rise buildings in the distance seemingly blocking the view. Only further away could one see the sunlight streaming in; it was like a steel cage.

How many people are willing to be trapped in a cage, and how many are completely unaware that they have actually lost their original freedom?

Lin Yan saw a figure from behind; it was Chizuru Hishiro.

"Hiyori-kun!"

"Morning!"

Good morning, Lin Yan.

So you walk to school!

Yes. It's a walk from the station.

"Same as me."

The two stood side by side, but Chizuru Himeragi remained aloof. This girl was sometimes truly enigmatic. From an omniscient perspective, one would see that while Chizuru maintained a calm facade, her mind was in turmoil, contemplating whether to initiate a conversation, whether forcing one would bother the other, and whether remaining silent was impolite. Ultimately, Chizuru remained lost in thought, giving the impression of coldness to onlookers.

"Are you always alone? Don't you go to school with anyone?"

"Is it not allowed? Is it strange?" Chizuru Himeragi actually cares a lot about what other people think. Although those who knew Chizuru Himeragi before thought that she was someone who liked to be alone and didn't care about other people.

That's not actually the case; sometimes what you see on the surface is not the truth.

"Nobody says that! I'm a person myself."

"Because you just transferred here. Is your injury still not healed?"

"Oh? Oh, this! Yes! It's been a long time since I fell, and it's still not healed..." Actually, Lin Yan just forgot to take off the bandage. The wound had already healed long ago. However, compared to the previous Flame God, the current Lin Yan is indeed more like an ordinary person who can get hurt.

I don't know if having a godlike physique is more important, or if enjoying this short life like an ordinary person is the best option.

There are pros and cons.

"I haven't fallen while running since I graduated from elementary school."

"That's right."

At this moment, the two had already arrived at the school by bus and reached the entrance, where students were changing into indoor shoes. It seemed that Lin Yan and Chizuru Himeragi had also been spotted at the same time, and fortunately, it was not Onoya who saw this scene, but Kari.

Shousheng was slightly taken aback.

It wasn't because Lin Yan and Hida Chizuru appeared at the same time, but because Hida Chizuru gave Kari a smile, a ferocious smile.

"morning."

Good morning, Kariyo-kun.

"!"

Why that smile? Karyu had seen that smile before—a smile brimming with provocation. This matter troubled Karyu, making her distracted during the morning classes, even losing focus on important lessons. She remained depressed even at lunchtime, unable to understand it. Could it really be related to Oogami and Tsubaki? Why did she keep appearing by Oogami's side? Shouldn't she be by his side?

Is it really true that childhood sweethearts are destined to meet? Shou Sheng thought somewhat unconvinced, "There are many childhood sweethearts with happy endings; not all childhood sweethearts are cursed."

"What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"No." Although she denied it, she still looked sullen, her unhappiness written all over her face. Even a fool could see it, but isn't that just a girl's nature? She would never admit that she cared.

It's not tsundere, it's just simple innocence.

One's devotion to a relationship may surpass everything else, causing one to lose sight of everything else around them, becoming blinded.

"Rena, you really are angry. Poor fried rice."

"Take some calcium!"

"No need! You can't even eat milk with your meals." Kari said to Yu in an annoyed tone, still looking angry.

"Oh. It's pretty ordinary! They'll have a school lunch too." Yu Lai was also quite helpless, so she drank her milk and pouted.

"That's because it comes with the school lunch, so you'll naturally drink it."

"I want to grow taller because I want to play volleyball."

This petite girl is Yu Lai, a close friend of Shousheng. She is only 155 centimeters tall, less than 160 centimeters. She longs for an ideal height and genuinely envies Shousheng in various ways, such as his height and outstanding academic achievements. However, for Shousheng, who already possesses these qualities and they have become part of his daily life, they are no longer considered advantages.

For example, a top student might be depressed if they get second place, while a poor student might be happy if they occasionally get second to last place.

"So I've been drinking milk like crazy ever since."

"Rena?"

"Are you alright?" Yu Lai was still a little worried. She cared a lot about Shou Sheng, but she also had many troubles of her own.

"Ah, sorry."

"I'm so sorry," Onoya said.

"How long will the make-up exams continue?" The great god seemed more anxious than the emperor, his voice was somewhat deep, while Onoya's voice sounded unconcerned, she laughed heartily, a bright smile always on her face.

"This is only the third time!"

"That's it!"

"Including the initial formal exam, this is the fourth time! You guys are amazing, managing to take a whole month of exams! Aren't you getting tired of having to retake them?!"

"think."

"I really want to."

"Looks like we'll be holding a book club during the Golden Week holiday."

"Oh!" Lin Yan maintained a calm expression. Perhaps to others, Lin Yan seemed to be surrounded by enemies, but Lin Yan knew that everything was under control. Lin Yan's ability to control everything was unimaginable to ordinary people. Facing this group of children, all Lin Yan could do was to play his part well. Perhaps this was his last experience in another world, and it was probably the most precious one.

"Oh what? I've had enough. I've lost my confidence in teaching." The great god was already very impatient, and he accidentally glanced at Chizuru Hishiro standing to the side.

Chizuru Himeragi was all alone, and didn't seem to be waiting for anyone at all; it seemed she truly was alone.

0026 Marginalized Individuals [Please Subscribe]

Generally speaking, girls like to walk in groups of three or five, whether they are students or working women. They often walk together in small groups, chatting and laughing, which is quite a sight.

Such a solitary girl often carries negative connotations.

For example, some are indifferent, isolated, or arrogant; others are unsociable or eccentric. There are also those who are ostracized at school, who are quite pitiful. They generally don't know how to manage relationships with their classmates, and often have misunderstandings with them.

They haven't met anyone who understands them.

"You're eating lunch alone, Himyo-kun?" Lin Yan followed Oogami and Shin's gaze and saw Himyo Chizuru all alone. Although someone like Lin Yan wouldn't normally be a loner, he has a lot of charm and always attracts a lot of people.

She is someone who is the center of attention and admired by everyone.

but--

In reality, Lin Yan often prefers to be alone, but he is always surrounded by a large number of people. Some come out of admiration, some because they admire him, and some for personal gain, for a variety of reasons.

Chizuru Himeragi once said that she had no friends.

These are what are called marginalized people.

The concept of marginalized individuals was first proposed by K. Lewin, and it generally refers to people who do not fully participate in either of the two social groups and are situated between the groups.

In a broad sense, a marginal person refers to someone who has unique talents in a certain area, making it difficult for others to understand them in a short period of time; there are also extreme factors, which can be both good and bad.

In a narrow sense, marginalized people refer to those who are detached from mainstream social norms in all aspects. They are often difficult to be accepted by the world and are rarely understood.

People are divided into two categories: central people and peripheral people.

Marginalized individuals: spiritual pioneers with unique thoughts and beliefs. Due to the uniqueness of their ideas, they are difficult for ordinary people to understand; such people are exceptions. In their daily lives, they are mostly decadent, introverted, and almost incompatible with society. When a certain factor ignites their will, they will leap forward, earning the admiration and respect of others. Only a very small number of marginalized individuals have their names and thoughts solidified into shining milestones, becoming important nodes and pillars of human history. Through the trials and tribulations of their secular lives, marginalized individuals elevate the entirety of human civilization.

One characteristic of marginalized people is their low social status and unruly personality. The second is that they dare to boldly tell Alexander, "Please don't block my sunlight." This also determines their certain degree of alienation from mainstream society—one side is unwilling to lower themselves, while the other side is disdainful.

"Oh, right! Let's invite Himyo to eat here with us! Let's ask her to tutor you two too!" Oogami suddenly said loudly, as if he had just remembered something.

Fortunately, Lin Yan was mentally strong enough, otherwise he would have been really frightened.

The expert even became extremely enthusiastic because of this idea, and laughed as if he had found something incredible.

"How luxurious! The owners of those two silver collar clips are guiding you! Xiaoxing, you must also wish there was another girl here, right?"

"I'm fine with anything. But it's rare for me to get to experience the thrill of having a harem now!"

"Hahaha! What the heck!"

"Then I'll go ask her to take a look." The expert stood up.

"Hmm." Lin Yan seemed a little unconcerned, then looked in another direction, as if he had made a new discovery, and said, "Master, wait a minute!"

"What? Oh, are you going again? Speaking of which, you're more familiar with Hida-san, aren't you?" Oogami Kazutomi was quite puzzled as to why Hida Chizuru, who was usually indifferent, was now being so proactive towards Lin Yan.

There was a peculiar feeling amidst the confusion.

"No, that's not what I meant. I think it's better not to contact her."

"Oh! Why?! Isn't this perfect? ​​She's alone, but we need help!"

"I can understand what you're saying!"

"Then why not?"

"this."

Onoya listened with great interest, catching every word of the conversation between Oogami and Takashi and Lin Yan. However, Onoya seemed to notice two other people further away, Kari and Tamaki, who also appeared to be talking.

Kari is indeed a girl with no romantic experience, and she is quite inexperienced and direct in handling her feelings.

Lin Yan's meticulous handling of the situation impressed Onoya, and she greatly admired and respected him. Although Onoya knew that Lin Yan was no longer an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, but a mature adult, his age gave people a sense of security and a feeling of being able to rely on him, which was very warm.

"I know! You're jealous!"

"What!?"

"You don't want any boys other than yourself to get close to Himyo, do you?" The great god's words seemed puzzling, but Lin Yan could hear the hidden meaning in them. Only someone as experienced as Lin Yan could understand them.

Don't worry about me!

"No way, you idiot! I mean, with your personality, you're way too young to talk to me about love!" Lin Yan looked at the angry God and Chen, but remained calm and unaffected by their emotions, and said to them in a calm tone.

"Anyway! As long as Anzu and I pass our makeup exams quickly, that's fine! Let's put the matter of asking Himawari to come over on hold for now!"

"Although I don't quite understand, since you've said so, let's do it your way!"

"Okay! I'll try my best to retake the exam."

Lin Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps he had been thinking too much, and he had lost the reckless impulsiveness and drive of youth. When exactly did this happen? Lin Yan had transformed from a headstrong young man into such a shrewd and worldly person.

However, Lin Yan had indeed sensed that Kari had a strong hostility towards Himiro Chizuru, but he believed that everything would be alright.
