* psa / height of magic.
Tumblr media
i'm probably going to update my rules in terms of how combat if any, granted how lazy and uninterested fri.eren is in battle, are conducted and what i myself, as a mun will allow granted i write a very, very overpowered muse. this doesn't equate to 'unkillable / undefeatable ' but i frankly see interactions with people who pursue her line of the ' height / apex of magic ' as fern calls fri.eren's prowess just doing a dungeon, who still to this current updates in the manga , has not revealed her full hand which.. is absolutely terrifying, more of a teacher.
in most cases granted fri.eren's absurdly huge mana pool, which is quoted to be almost the same amount as serie's, who fri.eren isn't even half her age, or less!, her 1000+ years of knowledge and experience, i think it's important how well the fight between fern against her clone and ultimately frier.en facing her own replica demonstrates that experience > most anything else. you can be a prodigy like fern and there will still be a gap. you can have incredible imagination like ubel , but with sheer numbers, still be overwhelmed like the replicas overpowering her and denken in 'attrition'.
it isn't just ' fri.eren' is the main character . this is a character that 9/10 i think of my interactions has likely lived longer than most muses she'll meet, if not, cool! but those 1000+ years of experience, magic, instinct, mana pool, and battle strategy, the woman has killed the most demons in history including the demon king, kind of cement that despite the 'cute elf falls into a mimic for fun' is really the last person you'd want to test. thankfully, i think it's more in character for fri.eren unless it's a crisis, to be a teacher, something she excels at with fern, who only would have gotten that far with her own prowess and efforts as her own brand of prodigous young mage, and also having spent time actually /studying/ fri.eren over time journeying with her and knowing her personally. it's not something you'd come with naturally, and even THEN the 1000+ years vs her what, 16? time makes a huge difference. but she still is someone fri.eren is highly looking forward to watching succeed, and it shows how incredible a teacher she is even for brief periods of time, like with lawine and kanne.
this doesn't mean fri.eren is invulnerable. but granted as a manga-reader too , we still haven't seen her go all out, which, i'm not sure if we will or not ? granted her lazy nature and dislike of fighting 'strong opponents' even if frankly, she is the strong opponent, frightfully so, i'll be picky with any fight / combative threads against her, as again, i write an immensely overpowered character and i'm not going to bend canon or my muse to have her magically 'lose' for no reason even if MY muse could genuinely care less about battles, and madhouse really hammers that home when i think we as an audience almost are lulled into this sense of security with fri.eren as a character with her laziness, her sloth like nature, her bouts of silliness with mimics and her tenderness with fern, awkward as it may be, until it really slaps you in the face be it the anime or the manga. this is someone you would not want to fight by choice.
i just love the heavy emphasis of years / mana pool vs variety of magic, and how years of experience, impossible levels of years that go on and on for, well, ever, basically, are still 9/10 going to crush the opposition. but still the era of humans is coming and fri.eren looks forward to it immensely. as the humans learn, one of the last living elves, will learn too, for fun though like let her nap okay?
i'm just really happy with this episode. if your muse ever wants a part-time teacher though, frie.ren will be happy to oblige. her main focus is her apprentice and familial figure, fern, who will certainly rise to great heights in the era of humans, but if you ever need someone who likely will catch onto your methods / be an impartial teacher who actually ironically is amazing at teaching . . . fri.eren is your woman.
