During their travels to the trade city of Valm, Frieren specially chose an exquisite hair ornament for Fern as a 16th birthday gift. The master and apprentice arrived at a village near the Grez Forest to inspect the seal of the demon "Qual the Elder of Corruption," who had fought Himmel and the others years ago but was sealed by Frieren due to his overwhelming power. Together, they annihilated Qual, resolving the long-standing concern of the local area.
Frieren and Fern encountered phantoms of Heiter and Himmel created by an Einsam in Wille of the Central Lands.The illusion created by an Einsam appears as the person most cherished by the target, although Frieren had instructed her to attack phantoms without hesitation, Fern still hesitated when facing the "Heiter" before her.

She shared her own experience of her first real battle with a monster to guide him. After successfully awakening Stark's combat potential, he joined the party upon invitation. The party of three arrived atCount Granat'sterritory.

That night, Fern and Stark rescued Count Granat, who was imprisoned by Lugner. After settling the Count, they engaged with Lugner and his other subordinateLiniein a life-and-death battle. After a fierce fight, Fern killed Lugner. Before dying, Lugner realized that Fern, like Frieren, had been restricting and hiding her mana. Meanwhile, Frieren also killed Aura on the outskirts, resolving the crisis in Count Granat's domain.

Frieren, Fern, and Stark encountered a blizzard in the Decke region and stayed there for half a year with the help of the elf monk Kraft, who was also sheltering from the storm in a mountain hut.
During their travels to the Akperat and Rant regions, Frieren celebrated Stark's and Fern's 18th birthdays, respectively. In a village near the Alt Woods in the Northern Kingdoms, they invited the priest Sein to join the party. When Fern quarreled with Stark because he hadn't prepared a birthday gift for her, Sein helped them reconcile. After seeing the relationship between Fern and Stark, Sein bluntly told them, "Just start dating already!" Later, Sein, in order to find his friendGorilla the Warriorleft the party.

Once recovered, Fern seized an opening during Frieren's battle with Solitär to deal a heavy blow to her, allowing Frieren to deliver the killing blow. Meanwhile, Macht was also killed by Denken.
After the incident where Frieren touched the Goddess's Monument and traveled back to the past, Frieren's party entered the Empire's territory.

The three were pursued by Shadow Warriors in the downtown area, and Stark wasWolfwounded by the poisoned arrow, fortunately reuniting with Sein here. With Sein's help, the poisoned Stark was healed, and Lore's location was confirmed. Fern used the Foundation Day fireworks to obscure Wolf's vision and dealt a heavy blow to Lore in a single strike.
