Recap of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End episode 21
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End episode 21 opens with a scene from the past, where Serie tells the Frieren to ask her whatever magic spells she desires to know. However, the elven mage doesn't do that because the pursuit of magic itself gives her the greatest joy.
Back to the present, the episode shows Frieren engaged in a battle against Denken. The veteran mage demonstrates his magic, which Frieren effortlessly counters. Elsewhere, Richter uses his mass based on magic against Lawine and Kanne to break their defenses.
He reveals the weakness of defensive magic spells and warns against using them. The episode shows Genau and Sense discussing the Frieren vs Denken battle. The exam proctor is surprised by the elven mage's resilience and ability to stand against Denken.
Following a successive usage of spells, the Imperial mage finally runs out of mana and concedes defeat. Frieren asks Laufen to surrender and hand over the stolen Stille.
She even threatens to kill Denken. Laufen, being a naive mage, falls into the trap and gets captured. At that moment, the elven mage demonstrates her magic to break the barrier placed by Serie's magic.
This allows rain to fall, which Kanne and Lawine use to their advantage to defeat Richter. Although Denken's team loses the battle against Frieren's team, they later find a team with one of their members deceased.
Denken, who didn't have any mana left, duels fist to fist and secures the Stille from them.
Meanwhile, the episode shows Fern and her team, hiding inside a cave. After the completion of the exam, they all assemble, and Genau announces that only 18 mages, i.e., six parties passed the first test.
