Ep. 27: Frieren Repairs Fern's Staff and Serie Proctors the Third Exam

Fern feels misunderstood by Frieren, who secretly commissions Richter to repair Fern's broken staff, a sentimental gift from Heiter. Richter agrees to fix it, noting the owner's care, and Fern later realizes Frieren's efforts to connect with her. Meanwhile, Kanne worries about waiting three years for the next first-class exam attempt. The third exam begins, with Serie taking charge due to the high number of second-exam passers. She criticizes Frieren for skewing results but acknowledges her own inability to fairly judge such a powerful mage. Serie conducts one-on-one interviews, failing candidates like Kanne, Laufen, Dünste, Ehre, and Scharf for weak wills, and Frieren for lacking combat magic interest. When questioned about defeating the demon king, Frieren credits her exceptional allies. Serie detects Fern's fluctuating mana, recognizes her potential, and offers her a place as a student. After Fern rejects the proposal, Serie ultimately passes her.
