The witches are getting very annoyed with the Specialists for their constant support to the fairies. Now, more than ever, the witches have a devious plan to break up the friendship between them. During a flying bikes tournament, they cause a horrible accident for Riven and manipulate the situation, putting the blame on Bloom. A furious quarrel bursts out between Riven and Bloom. The Specialists agree with Bloom, and Riven gets upset, deciding to leave the Specialists. The sneaky witches immediately offer their wretched friendship to the boy. 

Icy is eager to know more about Bloom. During Bloom's mid-term exam at Alfea, Darcy fixes the Simulation Chamber at the highest level of difficulty to better analyse Bloom's power. Bloom faces very difficult and dangerous challenges in Sparks, the virtual land set by the Simulation Chamber, but manages to win all fights and scores well on the exam! There is no doubt at this point that Bloom is a very, very special fairy.
