With the crisis in Zagras averted and the S Rank beast defeated, Zenos returns to his life in the slums, juggling his duties at the clinic while occasionally teaching at St. Carmilla Academy. Still, these peaceful days don’t last for long. All of a sudden, a group of oddly desperate military officers pop up in Zenos’s part of town, running a mass recruitment drive to build out the nation’s border patrol. It seems they’ll conscript anyone—even children. Around the same time, Lily goes missing. And when witnesses report seeing her forced inside a military convoy alongside a child in fancy clothing, Zenos knows what he’s got to do next—get recruited himself! It seems once again, life is about to take an unorthodox turn.
