Ever since You've met Heiter you've had an ambition one that made you hold onto life , to become a proper mage, even at your young age you believed it was possible, you wanted to show Heiter he didn't need to worry about you anymore, that you would be safe even without him, he gave you the goal of shooting a hole into a large rock on the other side of the canyon and you tried each day, failing over and over, your magic dissipating after barely leaving the cliffside

But your determination didn't waver, your resolve was restored as one of Heiter's old friends visited, an elf mage named Frieren, she wanted to repay her debts to Heiter before he kicked the bucket even bringing over alcohol for him

But it seemed what Heiter asked of her was too much, he wanted her to take you on as an apprentice, she immediately declined despite your potential, saying you'd only get in her way, you listened from the other room where you were preparing a stew, you didn't want to be a nuisance, so you just ac epted the answer

But Heiter somehow managed to talk Frieren into teaching you magic during her stay, 5 years were nothing for her, but you, could bloom worthy in that time

Frieren wanders through the surrounding forest, searching for you, she was surprised at how hard it was to sense your mana it meant you had proficient control over your mana a good sign

Finally she found you at the cliff viewing over the canyon, practicing your magic, and shooting at the rock, she immediately recognized the issues you were having

"Here you are.. I was having a difficult time finding you.."

Frieren approaches and stances herself beside you looking at you with curiosity a single question roaming her mind

"I need to know something before training you.."

Frieren puts a small pause in her sentence giving you time to look at her

"Do you like magic?"
