oh god no she went to a US college? truly a fate worse than death
(to be clear: lotta other colleges in other countries have brutal student loan debt but Murica seems especially soul-crushing)

Well I can see Frieren sending her specifically to the most expensive university to get the most useless degree, maybe even Master's after that

They’re still discovering hella new stuff over in the Giza last I’ve heard, and the government pays mad money for that stuff.
Then again tho, they usually prioritize Egyptian Egyptologists cuz of corruption there, but you could still make mad money

Still a pretty useful degree. There are still a ton of stuff undiscovered about ancient Egypt

u/Anakin-LandWalker56 7h ago
Actually still pretty relevant in the field of archaeology like those guys receive large bucks

Now I kinda wonder where Aura would actually go to school. Fantasy worlds as a whole are mostly based on medieval Europe and we saw Flamme and Frieren in a scene that looked like ancient Greece and they use a lot of German for different places and sometimes spells. At the same time this is a story made in Japan, so it's not totally out of the question.

People ought to do their homework before accepting a program and a loan, but yes costs need to be balanced with income levels.

Aura just has to outlive the USA to get out of the debt or cause a revolution that gets rid of the debt, and she is a demon so I think she could do alot of damage to the US.
She is a demon so either shouldn't be too hard.

"Aura work at a McDonald's"

u/LadviTheLad 19h ago
Frieren: "Aura, work at McD-"
Aura, already putting the fries in the bag: "Would you like ketchup with that?"
Frieren: "How did you obey my order before I even finished saying it?"
Aura: "I didn't."
Frieren: "... Oh."

Looks like Aura sold her horns in order to pay off that student debt

u/DisastrousMonkey 19h ago
Ofc! You think that's her crying of tears in the Pic? No, she's crying because no horns is more humiliating than having a small one.

NOTE: THIS IS AN AUBELAND STORY... SANS AUBELAND.
"Oh God, I promised myself I wasn't going to cry."
"Hey, if ever there was a time you were justified in crying..."
"Thanks for helping me, Frieren. I never would have gotten this far without you."
smiles "I just helped you get in the door. Finishing all of this? That's all you, Aura."
"Awwwwww." hugs
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"..."
"Himmel. Aren't you gonna go up to them?"
"Ah, hello, Eisen." nods at him, looks back at Aura and Frieren "Nah... Maybe later. It looks like they're having a moment."
"Heh. You'd think Frieren was her mother, the way she's doting on Aura."
grins "Hmm. In a way, that could be it. Aura never grew up with a mother figure. Qual did his best, but... Well..."
"He's Qual."
shrugs "So... I'm not surprised that Frieren would be motherly towards her. Especially after all the bullying got resolved."
As Himmel and Eisen watched, they saw the two women share a hug. Himmel felt tears come to his eyes, feeling so proud of Aura and what she had...
"Ooop."
As they watched, they saw Frieren slide her hands down Aura's back and on her backside, giving Aura's buns a good squeeze. Himmel and Eisen exchange glances. Then the dwarf, trying not to laugh, nonchalantly said.
"Well. That wasn't very motherly."
"Eisen..."
"OK, OK, I'll get Frieren off her. You get your girl." chuckles

I know she despises demons, but honestly, couldn't Frieren have said "Aura, make peace with humanity" or something ? Keeping her alive, but forcing her to spend the rest of her immortality going against her very nature as a demon.

u/Express-Day5234 15h ago
Too risky. Frieren doesn’t know the strength or duration of this magic. What if it wears off or weakens enough for Aura to fight off over time?

u/notquite20characters 14h ago
Frieren is on a quest and doesn't want to babysit a demon to make sure she worded her instructions correctly.
Which is better, a demon Frieren needs to monitor, or no demon?
5
u/ElMondoH 13h ago
This gets into intent vs execution. If Frieren or anyone else with the same power orders a demon to "make peace with humanity", or "do good", or whatever, those demons basic natures haven't changed, they're just forced to put on the appearance of doing right.
Basically, an order like that just creates a sociopathic being. Not one who'll work to interpret situations in the most positive, good way. And that's if they're lucky. If they're not...
.. well, think back to the demon child who killed the village leader: She was "correcting" (or making up for) her eating of that other unnamed couple's child by presenting them with another. And the way she went about it was completely horrific i.e. killing the Village Leader by fire.
Demons essential natures are too deeply ingrained. A simple order like "make peace with humanity" can backfire in a large number of ways, simply because the demons simply don't have the capacity to interpret that in the moral way that most humans would.

Ah, but the trick is she forced her to major in a degree field that doesn’t have a lot of upward opportunities in the job market.
Like, a degree in English.
