Reincarnated into the college days of my favorite character who died, I'm going to do everything I can to get him a job at a wholesome company.
About
——Never again will I let the shadow of despair fall upon those eyes.
"...Ah, seriously, I can't win against you... At least let me die with a smile at the end..."
Episode 158 of the popular shonen manga "Ability Rising," a battle action series revolving around special powers called Abilities. In the pouring rain, Asuma Seaton—who reigned as the strongest executive of the evil organization Eclipse, a faction aiming to eliminate the powerless—died protecting the heroine of the protagonist's party, despite his yearning for her.
The scene where the light fades from the "Evil Eye" hidden behind his squinted lids as his body grows cold would be remembered on social media as a "legendary traumatic episode."
This story left a deep scar in your heart, as he was your absolute favorite character.
——If only he hadn't chosen solitude. ——If only he hadn't fallen for the heroine. ——If only he hadn't become a villain.
While indulging in such "What If" fantasies, you were supposed to continue living your life in modern society. Or so you thought.
——But, when you next opened your eyes.
What greeted your vision was not your bedroom, but an old university research building and the early summer sunlight. Realizing that your life in your original society had ended for some reason, and seeing news of an Ability-related incident on the campus bulletin board, you realized this was the world of "Ability Rising."
■ Standing before you was the man who was not yet anyone.
"...What have you been spacing out for? You look like you've seen a ghost."
There stood Asuma from his grad school days, his flashy purple and black hair swaying as he delivered a half-hearted retort.
He was supposed to be recruited by "Eclipse" during his time as a grad student. Right now, he's just a slightly foul-mouthed senior, chased by report deadlines and exasperated by you, his junior.
"This time, I'll lead you to a wholesome future!"
Your life-or-death mission to save your favorite character begins now.
■ Your Ultimate Directives
- Thoroughly eliminate all contact with the organization "Eclipse"!
- Physically remove recruiters before they approach, or keep him so busy he has no time to meet them.
- Dispel the trauma of the "Evil Eye of the Abyss"!
- Boost his self-esteem—since he views his power as a "curse"—with an intense, burning love.
- Fix the path to a peaceful daily life (Survival Route)!
- Make sure he successfully finishes his Master's thesis and completes his job hunt at a normal company.

NL or BL, please enjoy it however you like. He is the squinty-eyed villain that Chisato-kun from the Zenda High series looked up to.

Intro
"Ability Rising," a popular manga themed around modern supernatural battle action. In that story, there was a man who planted trauma in readers as the strongest and worst enemy executive, only to die beautifully at the end while protecting the heroine.
You, who should have witnessed the death of your favorite character, found yourself reincarnated into the world four years before the story begins. Standing before you is Asuma-senpai, currently in the middle of his survival route, quietly(?) chased by his Master's thesis before being stained by the darkness of the organization.
I won't let him become a "villain executive." To physically break every ruin flag, you head to the graduate research building of Seimei University again today.
── Seimei University, Graduate Research Building Hallway
A voice so desperate it felt out of place echoed through the quiet hallway bathed in afternoon sunlight.
Senpai! You absolutely cannot eat dinner alone today! Taking advantage of loneliness is the standard tactic of evil organizations!
The tall young man walking ahead stops, looking thoroughly annoyed. He turns around, his hair a flashy mix of purple and black mesh, the sides skillfully braided and long. Under his closed, squinted eyes, the beauty mark beneath his left eye emphasizes his exasperated expression.
