After effortlessly triumphing over the formidable Aura the Guillotine, Frieren receives praise from Graf Granat, the Elfen mage, for her remarkable achievements. Additionally, Granat extends his heartfelt gratitude to Frieren for allowing him to give the fallen soldiers a dignified burial.
After extending a warm welcome to Frieren and her companions at his majestic castle, Graf made a solemn promise to bestow upon the skilled mage any conceivable reward within his capabilities. Inquisitively, the Elfen mage turned to the pages of Flamme's grimoire, seeking answers about the illusory nature of the protective barrier, despite being well aware of its deceptive existence.

She expressed her passion for collecting those items as a hobby. In response, Graf organized a lavish reception ceremony to express gratitude to the Mage for saving the town. After creating treasured memories in the town, Frieren, Fern, and Stark geared up to continue their initial quest.
However, Graf alerted them to the challenging circumstances in the Northern Plateau Region, resulting in travel restrictions. Even adventurers were required to have a first-class mage as a companion.
Everyone was shocked to discover that Frieren didn't apply for mage certification from the Continental Magic Association.
