Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 22 recap
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 22 begins with Genau announcing the results of the first exam, where only six groups cleared the test. He also revealed the date for the second exam.
Following the first exam's completion, Frieren and Fern return to the inn where Stark is staying. The mage apprentice frowns at the red-haired warrior for staying up late at night and sleeping in the evening.
As such, to cheer her up, the elven mage decides to go to a restaurant where she once grabbed lunch with the hero party. Elsewhere, Richter is seen helping a woman with a magic item.
Outside the shop, he meets Denken and Laufen, his ex-party members. The Imperial mage invites Richter to lunch, which he hesitantly accepts. At some other place, Land gets greeted by Ubel, who wants to know him better.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 22 then shows the mages arriving at the same restaurant. Denken witnesses Frieren, against whom he lost in the first test. However, being a veteran mage, he knows that everyone should enjoy their food.
Besides Denken's and Frieren's group, Ubel and Land also grab a seat at the restaurant. As for the elven mage, a single bite of the sumptuous dish makes her reminisce about the time when she first tasted the restaurant's food with Himmel and others.
In the next segment of the episode, Frieren asks Stark to pacify an angry Fern. Unable to see any way out, the red-haired warrior suggests getting something for her.
On their way, the trio meets Lawine and Kanne, who greet the elven mage. At the same time, Wirbel arrives and takes Stark away for a mission. Following this, the episode shows the elven mage, Fern, Lawine, and Kanne at a restaurant.
The mage duo thanks Frieren for helping them win the first round and gives her a gift. However, they know that they will be pitted against each other for the next exams. At that moment, a messenger bird arrives with the news about the second round.
It is revealed that Sense will be the second exam's proctor, under whom no one has passed any exam on previous occasions. The episode ends with a scene featuring Genau and Sense, where the former tells the enigmatic woman that she has set a cruel exam.
What to expect in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 23
Considering the latest installment adapted Chapters 46 and 47 from Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's manga, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 23 will likely cover the next two chapters.
In other words, the next episode will commence the second round of the First Class Mage Exam. Since Sense, a pacifist mage is the exam's proctor, there's no doubt that the second round will be challenging.
