• Siegfried arrived at the beach, and Han Jiang accused him of abducting and beating him, but Siegfried denied doing so.

Han Jiang learned that Siegfried had beaten him on Raiden Ryoma’s orders because Ryoma feared he would hurt Mei, while Siegfried explained that Anti-Entropy faced growing dangers from the World Serpent and rising Honkai incidents.

• Han Jiang left Siegfried and headed back to the academy, but Siegfried caught up and tried to get him to ask why he had come to St. Freya.

Han Jiang left St. Freya for Shenzhou after Cheng Lixue requested his help with a medium-scale Honkai outbreak, bringing Lilith along.

• Chu Tianqing discussed her research into serum and Artificial Stigmata, then pointed Han Jiang toward the others when he asked for the latest developments in the Honkai zone.

Han Jiang learned that Shenzhou’s forces were struggling to evacuate civilians during a Honkai outbreak and went to the local command center to assess the threat. He intended to fight the high-ranking Honkai Beast, but the commander mistook him for an ordinary student volunteer and sent him to help evacuate civilians.

• The commander told Han Jiang to help evacuate civilians because the Operations Department was short on manpower.
