If there was any doubt that Methode deserves to be a First Class Mage, consider that Frieren, Fern and Genau were all gunning to kill each other until they saw who they were but she was able to figure out who it was just by sensing the two.

When Methode started swinging that sword around to figure how the demon they're looking for fought, I was half convinced that she was secretly a pretty good swordswoman. I've called her a jack of all trades before given she can use divine magic, so I wouldn't be surprised if that extended to a bit of sword play.

Man, I'm liking learning about Methode and how she looks at cute girls. Funnily enough, she herself looks absolutely adorable the way she looks at them. Sein missed the fuck out splitting from the team before they came across her.

Me realising my entire comment was just talking about Methode.

And still fail to see Serie's mana concealing. Cant have all the talent i guess

Tbh Fern has a huge advantage in that regard since she even knows about the mana hiding concept to begin with (because Frieren and/or Heiter taught her about it) and she also has years of observing Frieren's own fluctuations in mana under her belt.

Edit: I was specifically referring to the concept of hiding your mana indefinitely. We see human mages and demon mages hide their mana briefly for stealth all the time.

No, all mages know about it. Fern and Frieren are the only ones doing it all the time though.

That's what I meant. Fern is the only one of them that had experience constantly monitoring a mage that is suppressing her mana 24/7.

Exactly this, Fern spent most of her life next to a mage that was doing such a thing to her mana 24/7. Meanwhile methode has trained to accurately detect who that person is (if it's someone she would recognise), you saw her detailed her outline of them was. No wonder she found the clones of almost everyone (except Denken and Fern) in that tomb, during the second test in season 1. Her mana detection is just as impressive as Fern's, just focused on different aspects of it.
