During evaluation of ALT Squad's hiring process, Eujin is asked by Kim Hana to fill out some of her personal information. Xiao Lin is worried about this part and asks Seo Yoon if she should knock out Hana and pretend it was an accident, but Yoon assures her it'll be fine.

Kim Hana first asks Eujin how she meet her squad members, and Eujin answers they all met at a school. Eujin claims to have fought the students there and is about to spill out some confidential information before Lin and Yoon step in and say that the school is now closed down due to being located in a Corrupted area. Hana buys into the story despite her doubts and proceeds to interview Kim Sobin next.

After the evaluation, Lin chastises Eujin for saying unnecessary things, but Eujin angrily dismisses it since the team passed and walks off.

Sound Alpha notices Sound Beta is a tired mood and asks her what's wrong. Sound Beta complains about Eujin's behavior at work; despite her excellent combat performance, which Beta describes as almost on par with Grade A Counters, Eujin's massive appetite is causing Coffin Company's expenses on food to skyrocket and her fighting reckless fighting style is creating ammunition shortages. Sound Alpha promises he'll supply the company with a bigger budget.

Eujin and Kim Sobin visit Apocalypse, Coffin Company's own convenience store, to browse weapons. Serina Crew offers Eujin a couple firearms, but Eujin ends up destroying them at the store's shooting range because she habitually treats guns as melee weapons or throwables whenever she runs out of bullets. Eujin apologizes for the damages and expresses disappointed that none of the guns were as strong or durable as hers, but Serina sees this a challenge and shows her Apocalypse's entire inventory. Eujin excitedly starts going through and breaking the guns, much to Sobin's distress. By the time Seo Yoon arrives and gets her to stop, Eujin had already destroyed over three hundred firearms.

Sound Alpha reviews several observation log files regarding a test subject known as "AT-0287Y".

Log #3 reports that subject AT-0287Y had become the most submissive amongst the test subjects likely because of her attempts to adapt to the facility's irrational regulations and remain docile against discrimination. The researchers also observed that she has been constantly subject to constant verbal and physical abuse by subject AT-0195K, so they decide to give AT-0195K the authority to maintain order and give her the title of "Chief". This only leads to AT-0195K becoming more violent towards AT-0287Y, as reported by Log #5, and subject AT-0225X requested to "Q" to protect AT-0287Y, whom AT-0225X is dependent on. The researchers noted that AT-0287Y has yet to show signs of ∎∎∎ manifestation and assumed she requires stronger psychological pressure.

Log #6 reports that AT-0287Y was actively engaging in the curriculum and showing progression, so her punishment level was decreased by one as a reward. The improvement is believed to have been due to subject AT-0287Y seeing subject AT-0147S stopping AT-0195K from attacking her. AT-0287Y was also said to be spending more with AT-0147S during the day, admiring her and mimicking her behavior. Despite this, the researchers are unhappy because AT-0287Y no longer shows signs of ∎∎∎ manifestation.

Log #8 reports that AT-0287Y volunteered to partake in an isolated experiment. AT-0225X tried to convince her to withdraw, but AT-0287Y refused as she wanted to become strong like their leader and punish "the bad guys".

Log #11 reports that AT-0287Y's manifestation of ∎∎∎ through psychological pressure (namely her intense desire for strength and power) led to massive physical enhancements and changes to her skeletal structure. The researchers, delighted by their success, collected the data and continued to monitor her mental health.

In a separate report, a supervisor of the experiments requested her surperiors to reconsider making AT-0195K a candidate for becoming the Knight.

One day at the testing facility, Eujin cheerily greets Xiao Lin, but Lin seems to not recognize her and bitterly tells her off. When she does get Lin to remember who she is, Eujin questions why she's gotten so aloof now and asks her if someone's been bullying her. She boastfully offers to confront whoever the bully, but Lin just says Eujin's become more idiotic, prompting a brief fight between the two. Right before they proceed to training, Eujin proclaims to Lin that she's different from before and will be the one to take care of their group's opponents, and Lin silently questions where Eujin got her arrogance from.
