Then, it was finally the end of winter and the start of spring.  As the temperature gradually rose, the trees, plants, and flowers started to bloom as well. The white cold scenery slowly turned to a lush green scenery, and the students from Qawuin Academy finally heard the chirping of birds in the morning. They also saw the pathway to Precious Inn with dainty flowers of different colors on the edges of it. 

But while the season changed and had become warmer, Sigmund felt like it was still winter. His Master's coldness towards him made him feel weaker every day. Every night, Ivory only cut herself with a knife and placed it on a small cup and gave it to Sigmund to replenish mana. She didn't know that her blood, which had been sweet for Sigmund, was now tasteless.
