Sense, First Class Mage and proctor, explains the second exam to the eighteen remaining examinees: All they need to do is reach the deepest level of the dungeon of the King’s Tomb.
She’ll accompany them down there, so she’ll know if and when anyone accomplishes this goal. With her prehensile hair she issues everyone a bottle containing a rescue golem, which if broken will return them safely to the surface, but also result in them failing the exam.
Denken urges everyone to work together, but one particularly arrogant young mage forges ahead alone; Wirbel only feels comfortable continuing to work with Scharf and Ehre; Ubel wants Land all to herself, and Lawine and Kanne also head in together.
Naturally, Frieren and Fern pair up, and Sense decides to accompany them, assuring them she’ll neither interfere or assist. This isn’t Fern’s first rodeo, and Frieren has likely been to more dungeons than everyone else put together.
As they proceed with caution, Frieren recalls Himmel loving dungeons, specifically exploring every nook and cranny of them. It wasn’t just completionism, either: he wanted to make the most of the time he had with Frieren, Heiter, and Eisen, while also leaving room to have fun.
Frieren, who last week did what a First Class Mage does on the regular and “made the impossible possible” may be cautious in how the dungeon is explored, but exposes her weakness for suspicious treasure chests and grimoires, and ends up glomped by a mimic.
As Fern tries pulling her out, Sense wonders if she chose the wrong party to accompany. But at no point does Frieren panic; she simply instructs Fern to push her further in so the mimic will cough her up. She avoided using magic to destroy the mimic because it turns her hair into frizzy ringlets.
Besides his First Exam buds Laufen and Richter, Denken is only able to persuade two others to team up with him: Methode and Lange. Unfortunately, when their party comes afoul of some gargoyles, Lange is sealed in a room with moving spiked walls, and has to break the bottle to escape with her life.
Before that, we get some excellent offense, defense, and teamwork from Denken, Laufen, Richter, and Methode. But Lange’s quick exit is a sobering reminder that letting your guard down for only a moment could spell ruin.
Frieren and Fern apparently have so little trouble with the gargoyles the episode doesn’t bother showing them destroying them. Instead, whlie Frieren pores over all the magical junk she’s found and collected, Sense asks Fern what her deal is. For her age, Fern is the most skilled mage Sense has ever met, but “senses” not passion or determination.
Fern wonders if both of those things were used up when she was trying so hard to pay a debt to someone by becoming the mage she is. And yet she keeps going on in search of magic because watching Ms. Frieren smile makes her smile. She likes seeing Frieren happy, and it makes her happy. This changes Sense’s previous doubts about following them.
But while things seem to be going relatively easily so far, it was a given that the dungeon’s difficulty level would rise as everyone descended deeper. Wirbel, Scharf, and Ehre are suddenly ambushed by what look like clay replicas of themselves.
Denken’s party is also attacked by a copy of Laufen. It takes all four of them to defeat it, but Denken notes that he’s never encountered such a perfect copy of a mage, complete with Laufen’s looks, moves, and mana.
Of course, we know where this is headed: Laufen is one thing, but a perfect replica of Frieren? That’s a trickier proposition. Even if Denken, Laufen, Richter, and Methode work as a perfectly oiled machine, I wouldn’t be surprised if the only one who can truly defeat a copy of Frieren is the genuine article.
