While Fern and Stark make a temporary retreat with Graf Granat, Frieren's true foe awaits her outside the city.

Frieren's many years of training under her teacher Flamme are tested in her confrontation with Aura the Guillotine. Will Aura's scales find her wanting?

Deep in the mountains of the northern lands, Frieren and her party arrive at the Village of the Sword, where they have another job to do.

When the party happens upon a town whose inhabitants are all mysteriously asleep, it's time for their newest traveling companion to prove his mettle.

The first-class mage exam intensifies as fighting breaks out between the participants - and what's at stake might even be worth killing for.

A perfect imitation of Frieren stands between the test-takers and victory, but Fern believes she knows how to win. Is it time for the student to surpass the master?
