Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – 21 – Making it Rain

Serie sits on her throne in a library once in good repair, now crumbling around her, bestowing wishes on mages while remaining stuck in amber. Centuries ago she remembers her student Flamme visiting her with her new student: a elf girl with silver hair. Serie could tell this girl was strong, but when Frieren refuses to have her wish fulfilled, Series believes she lacks the ambition to become a truly great mage.

But for all her centuries of life and amassed knowledge and experience, her student Flamme considered something she could not: neither of them have the capacity to imagine a peaceful world. Frieren can, and so she’ll be the one to defeat the Demon King. In the present, it heartens Frieren to hear Denken say the very same words she told Serie: the joy of magic lies in searching for it. One only has time to search if there’s peace in the world.

High above the canopy atop the plateau he created, Richter “babysits” Lawine and Kanne by giving them a little lecture about the fallacy of defensive battles of attrition. The basic defense spell in use all over magedom hasn’t changed because the simplest defense is the best defense.

However, one’s defense relies on one’s stores of mana, so Richter’s philosophy is to overwhelm his opponents with high-volume physical attacks, in this case earth. But while he overwhelms the girls, he obeys Denken and doesn’t kill them.

Denken fights well, but he’s up against Frieren. He never had a chance, but he had to try, and not for the privilege of being granted a wish. As he later tells Laufen, his only wish is to travel to his homeland to visit someone’s grave.

If nothing else, Denken has the pleasure of learning that there’s still a mage out there stronger than him, and then some. In battle, Frieren sticks to the tried-and-true basic spells, making him feel like a trainee in a combat lesson.

When Frieren calls out to Laufen to give her back her Stille or she’ll kill Denken he insists she stay put and conceal her mana. But she can’t, so when Frieren’s staff starts to glow, Laufen uses her flash-step and is instantly nabbed by Frieren, having fallen into her trap. Still, Laufen doesn’t regret using her ability; she knew Frieren probably wouldn’t kill Denken, but she didn’t want Denken hurt at all.

They get to sit back and watch firsthand as Frieren, who has finished analyzing the barrier, conjures a destruction spell that shatters it. The male proctor was 100% certain it would never be broken, because Serie’s the one who put it up, and “the world would have to be turned upside down” for someone to destroy it.

Well, Frieren does just that, and as soon as she does, Serie knows it happened and who did it. Now we see while she dwells somewhat stagnantly in that library, Serie still relishes times like this when the world is upended by a mage—in this case, the last great mage: Frieren of the Hero’s Party.

When asked why she did it, Frieren says she felt bad for Kanne, and that “magic should be free”. Now the only one anyone has to feel bad for is Richter, for his greatest fear is now a reality: he finds himself in a fight with a mage who controls water … in the rain. He gets a tast of his own high-volume medicine, as Lawine holds him in place with her ice while Kanne throws a cubic acre of water at him.

Later, when Frieren finds the girls sitting, drained of mana, she gives them pats on the heads, congratulating them for winning. Frieren never doubted they would, because she never doubted she’d shatter the barrieer.

With only a couple of hours until the first test ends, Fern, Land, and Ubel find shelter from the rain in a cave. Ubel asks Fern about the other spells she knows, and when Fern mentions the one that can see through clothes, there’s a perfect jump cut to Ubel suddenly far away, covering herself, and Fern assuring her she won’t use it.

Land warns Fern not to say anything more about what she can do, because the six groups of three who passed the first test will be dissolved and all eighteen individual mages pitted against one another in the second. Denken, Richter, and Laufen are among those who passed, thanks to Denken’s fists. They all have three days to rest before that second test. Freiren and Fern exchange satisfied looks. I hope that rather than fighting each other—they’re both mages of peace—they’ll use teamwork to win together if they can.
