After the thirteenth week began, the temperature rose ever faster. The sweltering heat affected the atmosphere around the school; people grew restless, and unease showed everywhere.
Ever since the school cafeteria stopped providing goat's milk, the number of people applying to the school to "drink goat's milk" had steadily increased.

Professor Yi, who taught Divination, required everyone to refine their Line Charts from units of "days" into "half-days," effectively doubling the workload. Professor Emma of Astronomy assigned everyone three model essays written in Magic Script, demanding that each student know them well enough to write them
