Sousou no Frieren

[Kraco]

It's one thing to let go someone who tried to rob the bird but failed, compared to letting go someone who succeeded at robbing it but still came back to cause more trouble, even threatening to kill people. Frieren is such a good person she only kills demons/monsters, but that group would deserve to have someone die. They should have just made themselves scarce after managing to snatch the bird. That one scumbag even repeatedly talks about killing the kids. Of all the mages so far, Richter is the most derserving of death.

I mean, it makes sense for them to do that. He knows if they don't keep Frieren busy, she's just going to hunt down the girl with the bird and take it back. It's not like he's doing it for funsies.

It's not like this test would be an isolated universe. If someones dies there, they stay dead. If you make an enemy during the test, you have likely made an enemy for life, also outside of the test. Mages strong enough to attempt to become first rank mages are the worst kind of enemies one could make. Possibly worse than demons, as the demons don't operate following the same sort of emotions as humans do. Frieren is an elf, so maybe she wouldn't be as bad an enemy.

That's why I'd probably prefer to catch a wild bird, not a bird someone else already caught.

Obviously. But, as they explained, finding a bird is mostly a matter of luck. The test was designed for some teams to get lucky, and then they would fight over the birds.

A test designed to do the demons' work for the demons: make the most promising magical talents among humans to fight possibly all the way to the death with each other, leaving grudges behind. The founder/boss of the magic association, an elf with the most comprehensive knowledge of all spells ever invented... Where exactly was Serie when the demon king needed to be defeated? It was Frieren who was helping the hero.

No wonder Frieren looks down on the magic association of this era.

That's literally every exam in anime. But yes, it's dumb.

Agreed, but:

Anime and consequences. Choose one :/
