In this loop, Bel Kuko wakes once more in her cottage on 1 Firstflower and accepts that she cannot escape the time‑loop. She retakes the Grand Order examination and, thanks to the water‑magic training she gained in earlier loops, the blue crystals glow and she is **accepted** into the Order. She receives apprentice robes, and a gold dragonling named Orogull chooses her as a familiar. Bel attends classes on fire, water, wind and earth magic and quickly proves adept; she meets Master ÓCléirigh in the courtyard for combat practice and Master Xvim, a stern mentor who drills her on shaping exercises. She grows bored with the elementary lessons but enjoys her conversations with Orogull. Feeling restless, she slips away to the Cathedral of the Nameless and prays. The Nameless answers her plea, appearing in a flash of dark light and freezing time. He tells Bel that the world is caught in a cycle and that she has been chosen to save his people from the dragon goddess **Thgirb Amall**. He places a golden tattoo on her arm and warns that there will be many more loops before she can prevail, but gives her hope. Bel vows to try and returns to her training, knowing that she must prepare for what is to come as The Nameless restarts the loop once more.
