Before Re=L could attack her, Eleanor escapes, vanishing from the area.

After the festival event, she joins Alzano Academy to protect. However, she prefers to protect Glenn over Rumia. However, on the class field trip, she becomes distant again, seemingly upset at Rumia and Sistine. When Glenn confronts her, she runs away to the beach, (who was really Rainer in disguise). Glenn shows up to stop the fake sibling, Re=L stabs him in the back and decides her new reason for living is her brother. Re=L then kidnaps Rumia and brings her to Rainer's lab. Soon after his success, Eleanor, Rainer and Burks, started to extract all her mana while Re=L was forced to watch her friend in suffering, Eleanor discover that Albert put a magical signal on her. As Burks leaves the room to deal with Glenn, Eleanor orders Re=L to kill Glenn And Albert.

Glenn invaded Rainer's lab, Rainer orders Re=L to kill the man that saved her 3 years ago. Glenn manages to win Re=L back by proving to her that her brother was not "real", when she couldn't remember his name.

Glenn punches Rainer for the things he said about Re=L, three mindless clones appear and ordered by him to kill both Glenn and Re=L.

After forcing them to kill Re=L and Glenn, he watches the fight while taunting them saying that they were his perfect puppets and indirectly taunted the original Re=L saying that he wiped out all troublesome human emotions and memories from them. When Re=L and Glenn released the clones from their suffering by finishing them off, Glenn proceeded to point a gun to Rainer while he cowardly begged for mercy only to be punched in his face, falling on the floor unconscious.
