”What is the thing that you said you wanted to borrow?” Brianca asked, looking confused.
They needed to find the culprit as soon as possible under the current circumstances. Since Herr Casa was taken away, they were unable to find out which people he had come into contact with at the school. Not only did they have no clue about the culprit's identity, they only had a day to find them! Just as Mo Fan mentioned, they could only hope that the culprits of the two incidents were the same person!
Mo Fan did not answer the question, being all mysterious. ”Li Yu'e, I'll need your help regarding this,” he told Li Yu'e.
Li Yu'e nodded. She said softly, ”I've been doing this for the past few days. I was hoping that Amelia could see her work finished from Heaven.”

Dusk eventually came. A strong uneasiness lingered in the Alps Institute. Many students had gathered together under the tremendous pressure, as if they were determined to fight the Casas to the very end.
They would teach the Casas that the people of the Alps Institute were not helpless targets they could slaughter as they pleased!
Dusk lasted for a long time. While the people were feeling anxious toward the next sunrise, a unique fragrance lingered in the air. It was an elegant and unforgettable scent, one that the people of the Alps Institute were extremely familiar with.
”Isn't that the fragrance of the Snow Lavenders?” someone asked.
”Yes… that's right, it's the seventh dusk of Spring, the first time the Snow Lavender will bloom. Look, the gardens, around the pool, and the waterfall… there are so many of them!”
”It's so beautiful. I didn't even notice so many Snow Lavenders were planted around the school. It looks like the whole place is covered in snow!”
”Come up here, quick!”
”Is it prettier up there?”
Girls were often sentimental, and were distracted by the blossoming of the Snow Lavender. The topic spread rapidly among the students. Most importantly, the Snow Lavender were as beautiful as a painting at dusk. Some of the insignificant corners of the Alps Institute, paths that were no longer used, and its ancient structures resembled a magical kingdom after they were surrounded by the pure Snow Lavender flowers.
As the angle of the sunlight shifted due to the setting sun, the flowers reflected different sacred lights, turning the Alps Institute into a world inside a kaleidoscope. Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief, replacing the uneasiness and fear they had previously!
Dusk came to an end. Faerun School's appearance shifted magically throughout it. The miraculous sight left the students utterly astonished…

They were extremely touched when they noticed the Snow Lavender actually formed a huge emblem on the school grounds when they were observing them from a certain height. It was the Alps Institute's school emblem!
The school emblem covered an area ten kilometers square, including the lengthy paths, insignificant gardens, backyards of some buildings, the church, training grounds, and prayer altars… they walked past these places almost every day, and even though they noticed the vines of the Snow Lavender, no one expected them to combine into such a spectacular sight. They were overwhelmed by the peace and beauty of the Alps Institute, even as the school was facing its greatest danger!
