Sousou no Frieren - episode 20 - 25 Jan, 2024

The battle between Fern's team and Wirbel's team continues. Fern defeats Ehre by overwhelming her with rapid-fire ordinary attack magic, Ehre remarks that Fern's magic is entirely devoid of character. Übel is restrained and defeated by Wirbel. However, Wirbel's hesitation in killing her immediately allows Fern to arrive in time to save Übel. Land easily defeats Scharf using illusion magic. Wirbel collects his defeated team members and shares his motivation for fighting demons. He reveals his history, explaining that he fights demons to impress a girl he loved back in his hometown. Their team manages to remain relevant in the exam as Wirbel comes across a Stille by luck and captures it with his binding magic. Laufen steals Frieren's team's Stille with a super-fast movement spell. Meanwhile, the remainder of Denken's team approaches Frieren's team as Laufen runs away. Denken reveals that he knows Frieren is the same legendary mage from the hero's party, Richter splits up Frieren's team and states he will either kill Lawine or Kanne so that Frieren's team cannot advance in the exams. Denken tells Richter to hold back unless absolutely necessary as the First Class mages title is not something worth killing over, however Richter disagrees and talks about the privilege the title grants. Specifically, Serie, the leader of the Continental Mages Association, has promised that anyone who achieves the First Class title will be granted any one spell they request from her if she is capable of providing it. After they finish exchanging words, the two parties begin their battle. (Source: Wikipedia)
