Volume 2 is the second edition of Min Min's manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion Academy: Record of Heaven's Descent. It is comprised of six chapters.
Chapter Overview
Chapter Five
Every year, Nerv Foundation Academy hosts a festival open to the public on the "Festival of the Sotor." Shinji's homeroom class will be performing a nativity play.
Shinji and Kaworu go to the chorus room to check up on the choir's status. There, they meet Kaji, whose interest is in the star singing De Nuevo twins (one of which saw the earlier fight between Shinji and Ramiel). Kaworu senses something odd about them, but he heads back to homeroom with Shinji.
The person acting as Gabriel the angel sprained her ankle and is unable to do her role, so Asuka tells Rei that it's her mission to memorize all the lines of the angel before showtime.
Because Rei was told it was a mission, she is able to accomplish what would be a near-impossible task normally. She performs well and the play looks to be a success until Misato punches Shinji onto the stage. The whole set collapses and Shinji recieves a punch from Asuka afterwards.
Chapter Six
The last remaining Angels are hiding out in an old house. Arael (the crow) and Ramiel have already been defeated. There are also Angels in the area surrounding the school, and it is agreed that they all must not wait as they are being threatened by the Guardians. They are planning to infiltrate the school from within.
At home, Shinji admits to himself while watching the news that he's detached himself from the reality of the Guardian's actions. He thinks of the Angels during a basketball match in gym class, and it leads to him and Kaworu falling on the ground in a foul. Kaworu gets a bad rugburn from it. Shinji tells him he'll take him to the infirmary after class, but when Kaworu lifts his shirt during changing he notices that Kaworu doesn't have any scars at all.
After gym class is a free period for the students. Most of them are into an online game called "Apocalypse of Night," which they will play during free time. Kensuke and Toji question Kaworu on whether or not he plays that game. Kaworu says yes, and then they ask his character's name and class. Kaworu replies, "Fallen Angel, Tabris," which is a rare character class. Shinji was surprised at this, thinking that Kaworu wasn't one to be into an online game.
Shinji during free period gets up the website that explains the Magi's prophecy. Kaworu tells him that a human from the Guardian's organization made it so they could find out more information about the Angels whereabouts (by leaking some information).
Shinji realizes that people are dying because of the Angels, though no one else outside of the guardians does (which makes that idea more chilling). As he looks at Kaworu, who is playing the online game, he thinks, "Just what are you people..."
