**Doctrine of the Frozen Lake** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released for the GL Christmas 2021 event for the Global version of *Crash Fever*.

The event had a story quest associated with it, **Hidden Christmas Eve Miracle**; episode 1 will be covered on Snow White Innocence, episodes 2-3 will be covered on this page, part of episode 4 will be covered on Ice Hockey Challenge, and the rest will be covered on Blazing Snow Racing.

At some point in time at Saint Ursa Major, Nicholas presides over a meeting between much of the staff. They all debate about how to choose their next Santa Claus, with many of them panicking over what to do. Nicholas reminds them all that panicking won't solve the problem, and asks if they have come up with any suggestions after 30 minutes of discussion. The members admit they haven't, and Nicholas remarks that the meeting has been a waste of time so far.

One of the other attendees asks Nicholas if he came up with anything, and he states that he thinks they should bring back the Winter Sports Day event from the previous year. He says that the current Santa Claus was virtuous and well suited for the job, but also willing to make sacrifices; he notes that a Winter Sports Day would help them identify such a candidate this year.

One of the attendees expresses concerns about costs for the event, but Nicholas remarks that they need to work together to make this happen, especially in order to make it inspiring. One of the other attendees suggests promoting the event might bring in more candidates. All the people there agree to go forward with this proposal, and start working to get it set up.

Later, some time after Snow White Innocence and about a week before Winter Sports Day, Nicholas announces to a crowd about Winter Sports Day, and many get excited for the upcoming event. Lucia stands in the crowd, thinking about something, when some people approach her with information they gathered about Winter Sports Day. She admits that she is surprised they gathered it that fast, and they explain that there were visitors from outside Saint Ursa Major that were interested in participating in the event.

Lucia asks if they mean that there might be people with bad intentions participating and using dirty tricks to get the upper hand, and they nod. Lucia begins to say something, but then notices some commotion outside. Outside the school, Garuda, Mimieux, and Nyarlathotep arrive. Mimieux admits the place doesn't seem that impressive for a school hosting Winter Sports Day, while Nyarlathotep just says that she doesn't care so long as the legendary power they've heard of is there.

People in the crowd discuss the visitors, and how the three of them aren't students, but rather people hired by other schools to participate in the event. Some note how that shows what an honor it is to win the event. Lucia then arrives outside, and tells the three to leave. Garuda asks if she has any specific reason why they can't stand there, while Mimieux asks him to not provoke Lucia. Nyarlathotep just says that she is excited to see a fight. Lucia says that the three of them aren't students and the ones following them are blocking the way. Garuda asks what, if that were true, would she do about it, while Mimieux just restates that she told him to not provoke Lucia.

Lucia states that Saint Ursa Major is her school, and thus she won't let them mess around out here before warning them once again to leave. Garuda asks who gave her the right to evict visitors, and she just remarks that she will have to do things the hard way. Garuda and Lucia prepare to fight, before Nicholas arrives to break it up and warns them that such behavior will get them suspended from Winter Sports Day if they continue. Lucia expresses her annoyance, especially upon noticing the adapter with Nicholas.

Lucia tells Nicholas to stay out of it, but he reminds her that he is the one in charge of the school, so settling such conflicts lies upon him. After arguing a little more, Lucia reluctantly relents. Nicholas warns the other three to not get themselves into trouble, especially since they aren't students of the school. Garuda remarks how ridiculous it is that someone as small as Nicholas is the principal of Saint Ursa Major, while Mimieux warns him that he is taking a lot of risks by being this aggressive.

Nicholas remarks that he likes Garuda's spirit, and says that it isn't a bad thing if they all get to know each other. Mimieux apologizes for Garuda's rude behavior, and asks what the prize for winning Winter Sports Day is, before also introducing herself as being from Saint Camelopardalis. Nicholas expresses his surprise, before Mimieux clarifies that she isn't a student but merely a representative. Nyarlathotep introduces herself and mentions that she represents Saint Lynx, while Garuda introduces himself and states he is a reprsenetative from Saint Canes Venatici.

Nicholas asks Lucia to introduce herself as well, and she just makes a quick statement. Garuda remarks that it seems like there is someone grumpier than him there, prompting Mimieux to scold him again. Lucia states that she won't let them provoke her, and insists that she will be the one to win the competition. Garuda responds that talk is cheap, and Nyarlathotep states that they will have a chance to prove themselves. Lucia states that she will definitely be the winner, and when she does she will make sure Christmas disappears for good, prompting Nicholas to express some annoyance.

Garuda asks Lucia why she seems to hate Christmas, and she responds that it is none of his business. Mimieux states that Christmas is a wonderful holiday and not something that should be erased, with the adapter agreeing with Mimieux. Mimieux says that, if any wish is to be granted, it ought to be one wishing for the world to be more disciplined. Nyarlathotep remarks that it would be better to use it to make the world more fun, whereas Garuda says that he would use it to gain more power for himself.

Garuda vows to stop Lucia from ruining everyone's Christmas, and Lucia dares him to try his worst. Nyarlathotep remarks that she will be the one to win, while Mimieux says that she won't allow such reckless people to win. The adapter shows their own resolve, and everyone starts getting prepared.

Winter Sports Day comes soon enough, and Nicholas begins hosting the event. He explains the different events and scoring for each of them: a curling competition, an ice hockey competition, and lastly, a snowmobile race. He says that 1st place wins 20 points for their school, 2nd place gets 15 points, and 3rd gets 5 points, with the snowmobile section being possible to win up to 60 points. Some people ask if this means that 100 is the maximum score, but Nicholas clarifies that extra points can be given based on performance. He then says that he hopes everyone will have a memorable time.

Out among some snowy mountains, the curling contest occurs, with Mimieux being one of the ones to compete. She manages to knock out some of the opponent's stones during one part, in an attempt to help her team win. Mimieux tries to keep a disciplined approach, but despite her best efforts, the round ends up as a tie between all four schools, with all of them getting 5 points.

Afterwards, Mimieux expresses her relief that she can finally rest, and asks if ice hockey is up next. Nyarlathotep confirms, and states that she is very excited. Mimieux tells her to stop jumping around so much before she makes her dizzy. The screen at the plaza suddenly displays some breaking news, mentioning an unknown person arriving at the venue that Nicholas is currently delaing with.

The person turns out to be Lovecraft, who explains that he heard about a legendary sports event being held and wanted to come check it out himself since he happened to be on vacation at the time. He introduces himself, noting that they should all know who he is but will do so anyways. Nicholas, impressed by Lovecraft, offers to host an exclusive skiing event for him. Lovecraft thanks Nicholas for the offer, and the commentator announces that that seems to be what the next event will be. Nyarlathotep expresses her surprise that Lovecraft is there, but also expresses her annoyance that her event seems to have been postponed. Mimieux asks Nyarlathotep if she happens to know Lovecraft, and she responds that she kinda does.

At a nearby mountain, as Lovecraft goes up he says that he ought to spice things up. Using his abilities, he creates a bridge out of snow in the middle of the mountain. The crowd is awed by the spectacle of the dazzling snow bridge. Once he reaches the top, Lovecraft begins to ski down, moving gracefully across the snow, and so fast that the off road camera car is unable to catch up to him. Lovecraft says that he hopes his children are watching, and Nyarlathotep enthusiastically cheers him on.

Lovecraft soon arrives at the bottom of the mountain, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd for his spectacular performance. Nicholas thanks Lovecraft for his participation, and tells the crowd to look forward to the next competition.

The story is continued in Ice Hockey Challenge.

## Trivia

* While the quest banner uses the typical format that the JP version's quest banner's use (a special border only on the top and right sides of the banner), the color of the border does not match the color of the quest.
* Mimieux doesn't seem to recognize Lovecraft, despite seeing him in Apotheosis where he fused with her love, Durkheim; in addition, Lovecraft's connections to most of the individuals infected with the C-Virus like Nyarlathotep has not yet been shown beyond him creating Cthulhu.
