Farewell

Rienta sighed inwardly in regret.

I'm still not quite proficient with the combination of [Strong Strength] and [High-Speed Movement Magic].

This allowed Lylene to dodge the attack.

He only noticed the change in the panel after he returned to the hotel to rest following the exam.

[Anchor Point Six: Initial Global Recognition]

Reward: 'With the strength to uproot mountains.'

Although he wasn't aiming to kill Lylene, if that attack had landed squarely...

Lylene should say goodbye to his shoulder.

Rienta looked at Lylene, who was standing there in mid-air, and said softly:

"Not bad, old man."

"They reacted very quickly."

After a moment of silence, Lylene spoke:

"This is a misunderstanding."

"... Heh." Rienta chuckled softly and said:

"It's not up to you."

Having said that, Rienta bent her knees slightly and gripped the hilt of the physical longsword created by [Projection Magic] with both hands.

Prepare to deliver another shock to Lylene with [Strength to Uproot Mountains] + [High-Speed Movement Magic].

"Rienta, stop."

Rienta stopped what she was doing after hearing Frieren speak.

He glanced indifferently at Lylene's shoulder in the air, then slightly moved his hand to cancel the longsword summoned by the [Projection Magic].

He flashed back to Frieren and the others.

Frieren smiled and patted Rienta's head before explaining the situation to him and Fern.

After a while...

Because Rienta caused quite a commotion.

All the First-Class Mage had just participated in the ceremony to be granted [privileges] gathered together.

Serie also appeared.

He glanced at the four Rienta that were gathered together.

Then he looked at Lylene, who was walking towards him, and asked:

"What's going on, Lylene?"

Lylene lowered her head and remained silent.

After listening to Frieren's story, Rienta did not regret her impulsive actions.

He also walked towards Serie and said with a smile:

"Lady Serie, I've only just become First-Class Mage, so I wanted to test my skills against a senior mage and see how I'm doing."

"But I accidentally made a bit too much noise."

Serie glanced at the large crater in the distance, where she could only detect a faint aura of magic.

Judging from the remaining magic power, this could not have been caused by magic.

Moreover, Lyleen remained silent, based on her understanding of Lyleen.

This is most likely due to a problem with Lairn.

But since Rienta had given Lylene face, it wouldn't hurt for her to accept.

"Oh?" Serie's thought flashed through her mind, and she chuckled softly, saying:

"It seems Rienta is quite energetic as a newly promoted First-Class Mage."

"However, have you forgotten what I said about not allowing you to use magic in the Continental Magic Association?"

Upon hearing this, Rienta pointed to the tall building behind Serie.

She replied with a smile, "Lady Serie, I'm not with the association."

"... Oh."

Serie turned to the crowd behind her and said, "Everyone, you can all leave now."

Then, looking at the silent Lylene, he said:

"Lairen, bring Rienta to the reception room."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Rienta walked towards Frieren and the others and said:

"Lady Frieren, Fern, Stark, you should go back now."

Fern said with some worry, "Rienta..."

Rienta said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I've already given them face. Lady Serie won't make things difficult for me. Besides, this was originally that old man Lylene's fault."

Frieren said with a hint of helplessness:

"Rienta, don't say anything like 'old man' in front of Serie later."

"Clear."

After talking with Frieren and the others, Rienta walked back to Lylene's side.

He said calmly:

"Lead the way."

Laiern bowed and said, "I'm sorry."

Rienta glanced at him but did not answer.

Seeing this, Lyle sighed, said nothing more, and led Rienta into the Continental Magic Association.

Inside the reception room.

Serie was sitting and drinking tea.

Lylene walked over to Serie and stood quietly.

Seeing this, Rienta sat down directly opposite Serie.

He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and waited quietly for Serie to speak.

Serie's gaze swept from Lylene to Rienta.

Seeing that neither of them spoke.

He chuckled softly and said, "Interesting."

"Lairne, tell me what's going on."

Laiern bowed and said:

"It's my problem."

"I left the venue early to spar with Frieren, but I accidentally injured her when she had no intention of fighting."

"Then Rienta had just finished the ceremony, witnessed this scene, and then..."

"Lady Frieren was injured in a sneak attack, leaving her completely unprepared."

Rienta interrupted Lyleen's speech in a calm tone.

Lylene paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, I injured him with a sneak attack."

Upon hearing this, Serie thought for a moment and then said, "I think I understand. Lylene, you can go now."

Laiern bowed, turned and left the reception room.

After the door closed, Serie looked at Lylene and said:

"Rienta, it was indeed Lyleen's fault in this matter."

"I've agreed to what you said before. The [privilege] will be reserved for you until you have other magic you want."

After saying that, Serie added, "It can't be magic that makes you look cooler."

Rienta thought for a moment, then said, "Would long-distance communication magic work?"

"?"

Rienta spread his hands and said:

"Then I don't want anything."

"I will research and develop the magic I want myself."

Then, Rienta looked intently at Serie and said softly:

"Isn't Lady Serie curious why Lylene wanted to spar with Frieren?"

"I'm not curious."

Upon hearing this, Rienta finished her tea in one gulp, then stood up and said:

"Well then, let's leave it at that for today."

"I should go back and rest too."

Goodbye, Serie.

Having said that, he smiled, waved to Serie, and left the reception room.

Serie watched silently as Rienta walked away.

They didn't pay attention to how Rienta addressed them before she left.

He murmured:

"Do you want to research and develop the magic you desire yourself?"

"What an enviable talent."

"Unfortunately, he was a human with a short lifespan..."

The following morning.

Stark is saying goodbye to the people he has grown to know well during this time.

"Stark, what are we playing today?"

"Sorry, I can't play with you guys today."

"Stark, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've already eaten."

"Stark, have some of this."

Oh, Arigato.

"The path of Martial Arts is fraught with peril; take care on your journey."

"Um."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Stark came to Rienta and the others.

Fern watched as Stark continued waving behind him and remarked with emotion:

"Lord Stark is just as popular wherever he goes."

Stark smiled and scratched his head.

The group began walking towards the outskirts of the city.

The goals for coming to Äußerst have been exceeded.

The trip can continue.

"Speaking of which, what magic did Fern ask Serie for?"

"Hmph~" Fern opened his arms and showed them to Frieren, asking, "Can Lady Frieren see it?"

Frieren leaned closer to Fern with a serious expression and began to observe.

He would occasionally stroke it and say:

"My clothes are so clean now, and they even smell like flowers."

"Could it be that...?"

"Hmph~" Fern put his hands on his hips and said smugly, "That's right! It's [magic that removes stains from clothes completely], making laundry so much easier."

Frieren exclaimed, "As expected of Serie, who is known as the living grimoire."

"They even have this legendary magic that existed only in the age of mythology."

"Fern, well done!"

Fern, enjoying the praise from Frieren, added:

"However, at the time, Lady Serie had an extremely reluctant expression on her face..."

Upon hearing this, Frieren became even happier.

That would be even more delightful.

Where is Rienta?

"Never mind, I already guessed it."

Rienta smiled somewhat awkwardly and said:

"Let's keep this privilege for now. I'll research any magic I want myself."

As they spoke, the group had already walked out of the city gate.

Lawine and Kanne suddenly appeared.

Thank you so much.

"Although we didn't pass, we'll be back in three years."

"Really? That's good." Frieren said softly, looking at the two of them.

Kanne said softly, "Have a safe trip."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Okay, goodbye."
