The city's defenses are collapsing. The horrors Will has seen cause him to lose himself. Then, Finn appears.

Will speeds through the capital toward the Devander. Watching him do battle, his classmates feel conflicted.

As the capital begins to recover, Will struggles with the loss of both his friend and his path to the Tower.

At last, Will sets foot in the tower, but his joy is short-lived as the Bloom begins and he learns his fate.

Will's dominance with his mageblade causes five factions to approach him, but Kreutz puts a stop to it.

Julius helps Will train for the Second Bloom. When they are ambushed, a mysterious witch saves them.

Cerridwen guides Will through his memories to discover the origins of Wis, revealing a cherished emotion.

Will and Julius undergo the Second Bloom. Remembering the origin of his sword, Will calls it forth.

When Elfaria moves to accept Will into the ice faction, Zeo swoops in to steal him. Elfaria erupts with rage.

Elfaria and Zeo's fierce battle over Will remains undecided even after an exchange of their most powerful spells, leaving the ceremonial hall in ruins. Aaron, Masterias Noah, intervenes with a way to settle the matter. And so the Second Bloom comes to an end. When the celebratory party is in full swing, Workner shows Will outside to meet a certain female student.
