The party arrives in a large and lively town with a bustling shopping district that Frieren once visited with Himmel, but something seems to have come up between Fern and Stark.

Frieren pays a visit to Old Man Voll, a long-lived friend of hers, with traveling companions in tow.

After the conclusion of the first test, the exam participants have some time to kill in town. What do mages get up to on their days off?

To defeat Spiegel, Frieren and Fern fight against Frieren's replica, but have a tough time. Meanwhile, Denken, Lavine, and the others fight against the replicas, but the magic of Sense, a first-class mage and the exam's proctor, rages.
