In this loop, Bel reveals her secret to Archmage Xvim after experiencing a vision in the water crystal. During her initiation, she stares into the blue crystal and finds herself at the bottom of the ocean before the corpse of an elder being; a glowing orb of water mana emerges and sinks into her chest. Archmage Xvim realises the magnitude of what she has done and decides to mentor her personally. Bel confides that this is her twelfth time loop, and Xvim sympathises with her, acknowledging that he has inadvertently made her endure months of humility. Bel struggles with the trauma of watching the Stormblades die over and over and debates whether killing dragons might be necessary. She tries to sense extra‑planar mana to track the summoner but fails. She spends time with the Stormblades and Orogull, stops catfolk pickpockets in Memorial Square, and researches anti‑magic spells in the Imperial Grand Library, but unfortunately finds no solution before the loop ends.
