Fraularm

Fraularm (フラウレルム, Furaurerumu) is a former Ahrensbach noble now teaching at the Royal Academy. One of her subjects is High Beast Creation for first-years.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 6 She also teaches second-year courses on history and sociology.

Fraularm is a woman who looked to be in her mid-forties. According to Rozemyne, she "wore a prideful expression that matched the sharp, prickly aura she exuded".

Fraularm is prideful, irritable, and resistant to change, such that Hirschur described her as "hardheaded". She often let her own emotions get the better of her, and would scream in her distinctive high-pitched voice whenever things are not going her way. She is also exceedingly resentful, such that she has been repeatedly trying to sabotage Rozemyne and Ehrenfest ever since she fainted out of shock upon seeing Rozemyne's highbeast.

Aub Ahrensbach is growing increasingly frustrated and upset with Fraularm. Despite supposedly being a specialist in information gathering, her reports are highly biased in her subjective views and thus lack the accuracy expected from a person of her position. Due to the inaccurate nature of her reports Ahrensbach has falled considerably behind other duchy in diplomatic matters over the last few years. Lady Georgine promised that she will personally talk to and rebuke Fraularm.

During Rozemyne's second term at the royal academy, Fraularm continues her attempts to undermine Ehrenfest. When all the Ehrenfest second year students manage to not only all pass the history exam on the first attempt, but manage to do this after also being the first duchy to turn in all their tests and all get not just passing, but actually good marks on it, she raises a fuss about this being highly suspicious.

While her fellow proctors see nothing suspicious in this, she still manages to cause a discussion that lasts long enough that two other duchies who turned their tests in after Ehrenfest are announced to also reach all passing marks before a conclusion can be made for the tenth.

Eventually her colleagues overrule Fraularm and announce that Ehrenfest also reached all passing marks, frustrating the former Ahrensbach noble so much that she completely fails to conceal her frustration to the point out audibly shrieking.

Her attempts to sabotage Ehrenfest do not stop there either. Under the pretense of wanting to make sure that Ehrenfest was indeed not cheating, she manages to push through a change in the syllabus of sociology class to that taught before the civil war. Due to the exam covering topics not taught for more than a decade the students who were prepared to pass their exam on the first day were caught completely off guard. When Ortwin of Drewanchel questions why the first problem was something that did not appear in the previous year's syllabus, she explains that this topic was taught to students in the past, so she chose to incorporate it to convey the wisdom of their forebearers. Despite supposedly giving a neutral explanation to Ortwin, Fraularm clearly smirks in amusement toward the Ehrenfest students, leaving no one in the room with any doubt as to who her true target in this is.

This change prompted the majority of students to give up on passing the exam on the first day and handing their tests in early. Despite the surprise change the students of Ehrenfest managed to answer all the questions and once again every single one of them received passing marks on the first day, the very thing Fraularm tried to disrupt. The other professors commented on how splendid Ehrenfest had done and how this proved beyond a doubt that Ehrenfest did not cheat, leaving Fraularm no other choice than to announce Ehrenfests passing marks, failing to conceal how vexed she feels. A few days later a ternisbefallen is reported to rampage in the Ehrenfest gathering spot. Due to the danger of the beast, the Ehrenfest students call upon the professors for help and Rauffen goes to summon the sovereign knight's order to deal with it.

Following the incident it is decided that an investigation is required. Not only was it important to assure that no others of it's kind were lurking around, the behavior of the slayn beast was also quite unusual. After arriving and escaping the Werkerstock dormitory, the beast should have homed in either on the closest or the strongest mana source, but did neither. Instead it ignored the much more mana-rich grounds of the greater duchies and even went right past both the Ahrensbach and Fernbeltag gathering spots to charge in a straight line toward Ehrenfest.

The professors chosen for this task are Rauffen, due to being the one who called upon the knight's order, Hirschur on account of being the supervisor of the attacked duchy's dormitory, Gundolf who volunteered and Fraularm.

The trail of destruction left behind by the beast started at the now abondoned former Werkerstock dormitory, so this is where they are to go to investigate. To make sure the professors would stay impartial and not try to steal any magic tools left behind by the fallen duchy two members of the sovereign knight's order are assigned to accompany them into the dormitory after unlocking the main gate at the king's behest.

Gundolf and Fraularm arrive at the dormitory door right on time, while Rauffen goes to Hirschur's lab to prise her away from her research in the expectation that she would either arrive with a big delay or not at all otherwise. While Rauffen manages to do so more or less, the pair still arrives a little after the decided time.

In the meantime Gundolf and Fraularm already enter the dormitory and upon entry Fraularm immediately casts waschen to clean the entry hall and the connecting corridor stating she could not be expected to enter such a dirty place, since it would ruin her clothes, which sparks an argument with her colleague Gundolf, during which Hirschur and Rauffen arrive.

Fraularm tries to get Hirschur on her side in the argument, thinking that as a fellow woman Hirschur would understand her avertion to dirtying her clothes, but Hirschur just flatly states that that's what brewing clothes are for.

After this discussion has come to and end the present people split into two teams of two professors and one knight each. Hirschur and Rauffen investigate the cellar, while Gundolf and Fraularm go to the second and third floors.

The investigation neither team turns up any disturbances of the thick dust-layer or anything else suspicious. Gundolf also states that they found no evidence of the teleportation circle being used. He volunteers to help the knight's compile the report for the king and tells Hirschur and Fraularm they can leave if they want, adding that Ahrensbach has been proofen to not be involved, though he insists on Rauffen staying with him for the report for administrative purposes, since he was the one who called upon the knight's order. .
