Ch. 39.2
The rustling of green leaves could be heard from somewhere, and tough vines sprouted from beneath the Mac Giant's body.

Kuwoooahh!!

Thud! Thump!

The vines couldn't overcome the Giant's strength and were quickly torn apart, but as they became increasingly stronger, the Giant found it difficult to tear them apart.

"Metal Manipulation."

Grrrgle! Grrgle!!

As the vines grew harder and harder like a rock and Mac Giant's movements became sluggish, Edna summoned three clusters of light above her head.

The small clusters of light, which were summoned in the shape of a diamond, gradually increased in size.

Zii!

As the clusters of light converged into a single point, their brightness increased, and as soon as Mac Giant broke free from the tough wooden vines.

Bang!!

A massive beam of light was fired, piercing through Mac Giant's abdomen.

Kuwoooahh!!

"Uh...?"

"What, what is it...?"

In just one moment, everything changed. Using only three combined magic spells, the Intermediate demon was dealt a fatal blow.

"Tch, weak."

However, the wound didn’t seem to be fatal, and the demon was still alive. As the Mac Giant screamed and charged at her, Edna extended thick vines in all directions and rode atop them.

Though she couldn't use Hyper Jump since she wasn't a Knight, she had diligently trained her stamina and practiced controlling vines, so demons like Mac Giant without long-range interception skills couldn't catch up to her.

"Rolling Wave Whips."

Riding the swaying vines, Edna fired a beam of light. While some branches were torn apart by Mac Giant's raw strength, and she nearly fell a few times, but eventually, the demon with the fatal wound couldn't last long and fell to Edna’s final strike.

"Paang!!"

A thin beam of light pierced through the neck of the Mac Giant.

"Wow, seriously?"

"A first-year... Oh my god."

"Does that even make sense...?"

Everyone was amazed and their mouths were left wide open.

External officials of the magical world repeatedly took off and put on their glasses, and the second-year students who were mocking Edna were left speechless.

"... It was a perfect performance. Well done."

Hanwol acknowledged that his words were somewhat exaggerating even as he spoke.

But, he was speaking the truth. Edna had managed to single-handedly tank, hold, and deal damage, so she had successfully fulfilled her role.

"Thank you."

When Edna descended, the first-year students let out a collective sigh and sang a song of despair.

"We couldn't even defeat a Intermediate demon properly with five people... That’s crazy!"

The students from classes F~B of the first-year were allowed to watch the battles, and they were filled with self-doubt and disappointment, as they recalled their own failed attempts.
