Sousou no Frieren

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.
