Fern and Frieren differ significantly in terms of magical strength. Frieren, an immortal elf who has lived for over a thousand years, possesses immense knowledge, experience, and a vast repertoire of spells, making her one of the most powerful mages in existence. Fern, on the other hand, is a young but highly talented mage who has been trained by Frieren herself. While Fern is exceptionally skilled for her age and shows great potential, she is still learning and lacks the deep magical knowledge and versatility that Frieren has developed over centuries. In short, Fern is strong, but Frieren remains far superior—for now. Fern may one day reach a level where she could face her master as an equal, but never forget: while Fern continues to grow, Frieren is not standing still either. In a direct, face-to-face battle, Fern would not be able to defeat Frieren. However, in a tactical confrontation—using stealth, ambushes, or unconventional strategies—she could potentially inflict serious damage. Still, such efforts would not be enough to truly overcome someone of Frieren’s caliber.
That said, such a deadly battle is something we will likely never see, simply because they are not enemies—and never will be. Frieren sees Fern almost like a daughter, and the bond between them makes a fight to the death unthinkable. But hypothetically, if such a clash were to occur, Frieren would still defeat Fern with relative ease. She knows Fern’s thought patterns, her spells, and how she fights—after all, she was the one who trained her. Frieren is someone who regrets not understanding Himmel better, and because of that, she makes an effort to truly understand Fern.
Even in a scenario where they were total strangers, Fern would still be at a major disadvantage—after all, she would be facing a mage who has lived and fought for thousands of years. Without reaching the level of a true master, Fern would lose without causing Frieren much trouble. And even if she did reach that master level, defeating Frieren would still be nearly impossible. Yes, Fern might be able to injure her or push her into a corner through clever tactics or, but she would not be able to kill her or force her---
